Pokémon Video Game Showdown
Qualifier Tournaments continue this weekend in New York!
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 are being 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.
The first Qualifier Tournament took place in Los Angeles on July 12th, and you can find out who won at the official Pokémon Video Game Showdown website.
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 the next 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!
