Woah, wall of text. ;p |
I was going to go to the Atlanta one (it is only like an hour from my house- not bad considering) just to grab the eevee and watch. I had even convinced my family that we could do a day in Atlanta thing. But, it turns out that that is the day we are going to the beach. I guess I'll just have to live without my eevee.

I have never done competitive battling before; I battled the boyfriend of my best friend's little sister once, and I did kick his butt. That is my only experience though. :/ We'll see. I have no idea how to IV/EV train, so I'm just planning on using some Pokemon from Platinum and some from Heart Gold that I've really worked hard on. Should I use a Giratina? I'm not going to be sad if I don't make it very far; I will still have fun.
I'm going to take the Chinatown bus from Boston to NYC and then a train to Jersey! Woot I am so excited to travel... |
I don't think I would do good because everyone's pokemon probably would have flawless IV's, and I don't use any legendarys. But it sounds like it would be awesome to go to anyway, though I don't think I would go because of the distance.
I thought this was funny from the rules and regulations: Quote:
This makes me want to find a small tournament closer to where I live though. |

Also, you're not going to have time to Skill Swap; neither Machamp or Kyogre can learn it, which means you're using up two turns with a 3rd Pokémon, as well as one turn to switch between Machamp and Kyogre. In other words, during the time your opponent can attack 4 times, you only get to move once (with Machamp, on turn 1). A common strategy is to Fake Out on the first turn; if they Fake Out your Skill Swapper, you will need a 3rd turn. Another common strategy is to use Dark Void Smeargle; even if you have a Lum Berry, they will still have a second turn to use Dark Void while you're unable to KO Smeargle (as you'd be busy Skill Swapping). Finally, as soon as you send out Kyogre, the opponent will easily guess that you're going to Skill Swap No Guard to it and then use Sheer Cold; they can just gang up on Kyogre to KO it before it can Sheer Cold, meaning you just wasted all those turns setting up. |
I might be going to the Jersey one but i live in maryland :p. I hope I can convince my mom in letting me go. Heck my brother could probally get me down there XD.
|
im so going to the seattle 1 but its limited to like 700 people so i might arrive super early! but i have never gone to one of these so im pretty hyped!
|
I want to SOOOO bad.
I always have and always will. But sad thing is they're always too far away. Also I thought the same rules for battle tower applied, but seems they don't and you can use up to 4 (non-event) legendaries so I didn't even worry about them. So basically I would have the almost perfect team that would lose to a guy with a team with 4 legendaries with perfect natures and that jazz. But I really would like the experience and the closest one just HAD to be in Indy but that's the nationals... |
To the original post: Hate to break it to you, but the majority of people there will be there to win, so they will take their time to carefully select each moveset, get near-perfect IV's, and the best possible EV's. They won't be just there to battle for the lolz. ;)
|
Eh, even though I live about 2 hours away from one, I'm not going. I'm not a competitive battler, and my parents wouldn't waste the gas money. Maybe in a couple of years when I actually decide not to be lazy and actually build a team, as well as have a license and can afford to go.
Really, it's a hodge podge of things keeping me from going. I want the Eevee, and I want the chance to brag if I somehow did become a regional, or if by some lucky, neigh impossible chance of becoming the National, or even World Champion. But even with an EV'd, IV'd, highly competitive team, I doubt I'd make it too far, since I can't predict moves at all. |

I'm going to try to go to the one in NJ because it's the day after my birthday, so I may be able to convince my brother or my friends to come. Either that or I'll go on my own.. I'll be 19 so I guess I'm cool like that :P
I have been EV training my Pokemon for the first time in HG. Many of my Pokemon have near-perfect IVs, but I haven't been trying for those yet. I'm really going for the shiny Eevee! I have one right now, but somebody traded it to me so I'll never know if it's legit (and I'm guessing no). Anyway, it should be cool. Is it possible to just go and watch the battles? |
there isn't one in manchester, theres one in birmingham which isn't too far but i don't think i want to travel that far just to lose haha
|
How can they call it it 'world' championship if practically the whole southern hemisphere misses out? NastyPlot-Z won't get a chance to shine here in Australia... has anyone bothered to complain about this to Nintendo? I really want a shiny Eevee, too.

HGSS Video Game Championships!
I'm really pissed off. My mum won't let me take part in the VGC 'cause she thinks I'm gonna be beat easily. Well, whether I win or lose, that's a stupid reason for not letting me take part!
Anyone else competing, or has already competed? Or is there anyone like me who wants to but can't for a pathetic reason? |
I went to my cousin's wedding so I couldn't make the one in San Fransisco. I woulda loved to try and go, even if I ran the risk of getting knocked out in the first round.
