2010 Pokemon Video Game Championship Series kicks off as Action-packed Schedule and Exciting New 'Legendary' rules are revealed

Bigger Than Ever, with Six Regional Tournaments and Two Last Chance Qualifiers, Pokemon Invites All Players to Compete for a Shot at the World Championship Title Using New Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions

Bellevue, WA. - April 14, 2010 - This spring and summer, thousands of Pokemon Trainers from around the globe will battle with their prized Pokemon for a chance to claim victory at the 2010 Pokemon Video Game Championships. The Pokemon Company International, one of the most popular children's entertainment properties in the world, today announced the upcoming tournament dates, locations, and new regulations for the most anticipated Pokemon video game event of the year.

Pitting some of the world's best Pokemon players in head-to-head competition, the Pokemon Video Game Championships are the only official Pokemon video game tournaments. Due to the overwhelming response from players who came from all over the world to compete in last year's events, Pokemon has increased the number of qualifying tournaments and the number of participants at each location for the 2010 event series. The series will also introduce the use of Legendary Pokemon for the first time in recognition of the popular Pokemon HeartGold Version and Pokemon SoulSilver Version titles released earlier this year for the Nintendo DS

"The return of the Pokemon Video Game Championship season allows Pokemon Trainers everywhere to join in and be part of the fun and excitement that Pokemon is known for," said J.C. Smith, director of consumer marketing for The Pokemon Company International.

I couldn't help but laugh at that. A majority of their fans are still no-where near a tourney. And, if the draws are done like last year, you may not even be able to play if you do manage to attend one.

I could have somewhat of a chance, since I'm familiar with competitive Pokemon.

That's not necessarily true. This metagame is almost completely new.
