They also hosted one year in Cinncinati and Miami. There were other places but, I don't remember.

latioslegends July 21st, 2007 1:18 PM

yeah the only city that would do an event would be Detroit but my mom is not going to drive that far for a game I should just trade for them over wifi?

WHAT WAS THE PRIZE FOR SHOWING UP?!

latioslegends July 21st, 2007 1:19 PM

I don't know but how I have been hearing it I think it was shaymin?

Fallen Angel_Messiah Of Black Roses July 21st, 2007 1:27 PM

A bookmark, that was the prize for showing up

Ho-oh arabia July 21st, 2007 2:02 PM

the idiot hu said it was shaymin was wrong. it was a stupid bookmark. It wasn't even shiny!

anemos July 21st, 2007 2:43 PM

you get 5 bookmarks for going. i went to the wheaton mall store (this was the only one with enough people). i went with a game using the name "Chase" in case anyone else wnt there. i got to the last battle, out last pokemon were me: mewtwo, and him: garchomp. i was trying to hit ice beam, my habd slipped onto thunderbold, causing me to lose. i got a poketopia shirt -.-

Yoshistar64 July 21st, 2007 3:16 PM

Well, I came in second place when this guy's Garchomp killed me off. Wow, you should've been there. There were interesting matchups like Mew+Rayquaza vs. Buneary+Prinplup. 8 year old in a red shirt vs. huge nerd (8 year old won). I beat the 8 year old and got into the finals with this 8-10 year old (trust me, he was pro-ish. Enough said about that~) with a blue shirt. Such close matches and they all applauded me when I left with a Poketopia T-shirt like anemos said...

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why you should always bring a towel.

The more you know...

You got to fight my regular opponent Cema? um, he is very good, though I have beaten him before

apatheticFUU July 21st, 2007 4:17 PM

Well, I came in first, I'm proud of myself. Although, I'm not proud that I totally pwned a 7 year old girl in the Final battle. This seven year old girl went up a against her own brother and a 37 year old geek in pajamas who named all of his pokemon "Batman". I ended up giving the game to the little girl and the t-shirt to my friend who came in third. Plus, I already have the game. Hey, my hats off to any seven year old who can EV train a pokemon team. (FYI: She had a killer Gallade with swords dance). I'm just satisfied and glad to have had fun.

Burzes July 21st, 2007 6:59 PM

I lost to geek because of his metagross.

anemos July 22nd, 2007 3:19 AM

His Trainer name was Rapist. So, all the parents got mad and he just told the manager (when he approached him) that it was pronounced "RAPP-IST" not "RAPE-IST". We all knew that was bullshit, so he had to trade all his Pokemon to one of his friend's DS. And yes there was TONS of little kids.

anemos July 22nd, 2007 7:43 AM

Why didnt they ask him to leave? real-world standing or not, thats not a name to take to a public contest.

If i was the manager of the tournament I would've kicked that guy out.

anemos July 22nd, 2007 11:36 AM

I think we all would have kicked him out.

Burzes July 22nd, 2007 11:44 AM

that's for sure. When I was doing the tournament someone had an english shaymin. "I dont think shaymin has even come out in japan yet." I thought when I say it. "It must be a hack" It was kinda crazy.

anemos July 22nd, 2007 11:49 AM

i found out something today. the only thing that triggers a bad egg is unnatural stats or moves, nothing else.
