Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
So that was an awesome first VGC. :) Everyone was so nice, and the battles were INSANE. Got knocked out in the first round, but it was totally worth going. Congrats to the champs.
Still new here, but if anyone wants to say hi to me, feel free! I'll be wearing a black v neck, shorts, and I have a red purse with an Oshawott plushie in the pocket. ^-^
Leaving in two hours... I can't stop freaking out!
How did you get an English version of the game in December? I thought only the Japanese version was out at Christmas... You know you can only use like the North American versions at the tournament, right?
There's the Orange line on the Metro, but it doesn't go all the way to the Expo Center, and it's really only useful if you're coming from DC. I think the Expo Center is about 15 minutes away from the Vienna/Fairfax station... but don't quote me on that.
But yeah, if you're coming from anywhere...
How early should I get to the DC tournament? Junior/Senior starts wicked early in the morning, but Master's registration doesn't start until 1. I wanted to check out the early tournament before the registration, but obviously if the lines are going to be insane I won't.
I only live like twenty...
Oh I am all over this. I live twenty minutes away.. how can I NOT go?
How early are people thinking of showing up? I know Master's registration doesn't start until 1...
