4th Gen HG/SS Championship

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 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...

Well, as I have tried to point out to others before This is from the website about the Indy one:
The Last Chance Qualifier is a one-day event to give players who did not earn an invitation to the National Championships one more opportunity to participate in the Main Event. The Last Chance Qualifier takes place on June 26th at the same location as the National Championships. Please see the National Championships FAQ for more information on the Last Chance Qualifier.

Any of you in the midwest who are concerned about not being able to be in CAN be in regionals the day BEFORE nationals and can win into Nationals.
 
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.

Awesome! ^____^ Are you going to battle?
 
i would but I live in australia with and australian copy of game :( lets ask for australian pokemon black and white comp :P
 
Oh there is a thread <.< lol

I swear I searched for it but nothing showed up. :/

Anyways, I'm attending, working on my team at the moment, so anyone else going to the UK one, may see you there. :P
 
Can Trade,and a bunch of other stuff there so i'm in!
 
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 somehow managed to convince my mom to take me there (that's really an achievement when your mom is like, always pissed off of anything you do!^^) !^^ I'm all excited about it and I'm pretty sure I'll make it through the first round and maybe some more rounds... I built up a good team for that but I'm not sure whether I'll make it far since I don't like EV training but oh well...^^ It's still worth visiting, even if you only come to get the Eevee!^^
 
Merged your thread on the VGC Championships here with one already made. I agree though, your mom's reasoning on not letting you attend is kind of shallow. :\

I feel so bad for you...parents can be very irritating at times because they don't bother to understand their children's hobbies. :/

I was freaking out about how I was going to attend, because I live in Florida. I kept trying to get my sister and then my friend to go with me because I felt a little worried going by myself to another state (either Atlanta, Georgia or New Jersey). But luckily I found cheap tickets and I'm set for Jersey with my boyfriend. :) I don't know how far I'll go, but I will let you guys know how it goes down.

I know it's not easy for a lot of the people on here to attend because of distance, schedule, and their age. Most parents won't let you travel so far for something they think is "silly." But keep the hope alive for next year. :/
 
nahhh the WGC is too far from where i live
 
I've been pestering my parents about bringing me to the one in New Jersey. They keep nodding their heads and stuff but I don't think that they're actually taking me seriously. They think it's stupid that there's actually a "World Championship" for Pokemon. =/ And when I keep asking them if they actually mean that they'll take me, my dad's always like:
'Well, it's two hours away and that's a really bad part of New Jersey...'

.............. T_T I wanna enter and download that Eevee... Dang my parents...
