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?

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. :]

I know right! Wales is not exactly tiny so you'd think they'd have more than one in Wales considering the amount they have all over England.

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.

Wait, does it mean ENGLISH language, or ENGLISH puchased? And can I get a link to this please?

EDIT: Never mind, found it. English language it is. So I can use my Pearl version then.

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.

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.

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
