Pokémon Video Game Showdown
Qualifier Tournaments are Coming Soon!
The
Pokémon Video Game Showdown is a BATTLE
of the best
Pokémon Diamond and
Pokémon Pearl players from Japan and the United States. Two Qualifier Tournaments will be
held in the United States this summer, and the top 16 finishers in each age division will win a
trip to compete at the final Pokémon Video Game Showdown in Orlando, Florida.
Online registration is now closed, but even if you missed your chance to register online you
could have an opportunity to compete. In the event that less than 128 invited participants in
either age group show up at a Qualifier Tournament, alternates may be randomly selected from those
in attendance. It's not a guarantee to participate, but it's worth a shot if you don't have a space
reserved. Space is limited, so show up early. And while you're there, you might even get a chance
to meet Pikachu!
