    My only chance is Liverpool. I must get there at all costs! How convenient it is that I will be in St Helens that day. But they could have put some in places where more people want like say Nottingham and Lancaster.

    So, it's English language versions. That's good, my Diamond's American.

    Does anyone know if there's anything like this planned in Sweden?

    We get it because we invented one of the most spoken languages on Earth and we used to have the greatest Empire. Plus it's called GREAT Britain. So we deserve lots.

    Woohoo!! An event in England finally:D! But...I'm living in a town nowhere near the events. oh well, I guess I'll just have to travel 3 hours to Bromley. The only event i have ever had near me able to get to is Manaphy. But I supose that is all part of the fun. I won't be one of the first fifty in though.

    Guess that's your loss. I drove 3 hours for the JAA events, 1.5 hours for the gamestop tourny, and all the TRU events are 1 hour away. the showdown tourny in orlando is 6 hours from me, that will make the farthest i've driven for an event.

    We're not used to driving for so long to get to places in the UK :) Usually about a 10/15 min drive to get to shops, only takes me a 15 min walk to get to my nearest supermarket. Longest I've been in a car is about 1 1/2 hours and that was when I was going on holiday o.O

    So that's 1 in Wales, 2 in Scotland and the rest in England? Wow, that's really not fair.

    How annoying that my brother's didn't inform me of this! :O I feel mighty offended!

    I'll be going to the Bristol one also - nice to see another Bristolian :D Although the change of place is annoying; I'll have to find another way to get there. At least I can go! x]

    Woah, a goodie bag! I'll have to be there early xD But a Pokémon goodie bag would be accce imo. :]

    Cool! I'm not even sure if I'm going to be able to get there (it's by the Tesco's with the escalators, right? XD) but my brother says buses go there

    Finally found some people as excited as I am! Anyway, I haven't been to one of these before, what are the numbers generally like? I am looking at camping outisde to be the first 50? or an hour before, just as it opens?

    Advice would be appreciated! I shall see anyone who goes to the Liverpool one then probably! Unless I decide to go to the Hanley one, I'm thinking more people will be at the Liverpool one since it's a Sunday.

    Advice appreciated

    If I go, I might bring my camera along to take pics of the event if there's anything interesting (maybe one of the staff will have their face painted? XD)

    Last time I went to one (and the very first time, the 10th anniversary) it as mainly loads of little kids...haha. I didn't know where to line up so I ended up cutting the queue (unintentionally) and didn't have to wait behind the 15 or so kiddies. I wouldn't have thought there would be *loads* of people, but you never know. I wouldn't have thought you'd have to wait ages outiside to have a chance of getting your giftbag, I suppose just turn up when the shop opens. But I don't know, when I went last time it was about midday.

    I feel sorry for you guys having to travel for hours to get to one of the places. I guess I'm lucky then I don't need to go anywhere, it's only minutes away from me.

    Aw man, I don't live anywhere near any of them cities! :( Curse me living in the tiniest village ever!

    I've never been to an event before, are you guarenteed to get a Darkrai when you go? Like, do they have a limited amount or anything?
    Click to expand...
    Well if you can't make it, I have a TRU Bold Darkrai, but you would need something good, as I'm not TOO interested in giving it up, but if you don't have one after these events pass, you could fork over something good and get a TRU Bold Darkrai! Offer unavailable in stores! :P

    Just realized it's impossible for me to get it.

    I can't go to Liverpool because I will be near Norwich on the 10th of August but I can't get it from Norwich because I'll be back before the 17th. Just my luck.
