I didn't get the chance to attend this year, but I did attend last year in Birmingham. I thought the venue and hosts were both great, and they had enough going on in the place to keep you entertained. If I had gone this year, from the sound of things I'd have been majorly peeved about the time...

I lost to you too, Marcus. Sad times. Though still, getting to round 4/top 32 was still an achievement, especially considering mine were just bred to get good stats and I came across an experienced rnger in round 3. Some good matches, thanks to my Shell Smash Carracosta (he rocks). All in all...

Nostalgia-high! Also . . . Why is Mr Pringlefish giving me the finger?

It's such an annoyance that Braviary (and, respectively, Mandibuzz) come so late in game. Braviary fills a great role in being both an effective scouter (with both whirlwind and tailwind), and a strong attacker (with superpower and brave bird), while at the same time able to handle the Fly HM...

Dagnabbit am I jealous of you, knew I should have pre-ordered. I'm gonna have to get up early tomorrow and walk in like a mook. Can't believe you got it today! I remember when I went out to Game to get Pokemon Ranger (whichever was most recent), and the guy at the counter was all, "Have you...

Ohhhhh yeahhhhh. Chica chica. I'm so revved up for this. Just two more sleeps til da Pokeymonz!

Great work guys, really appreciate all the time and expertise that goes into it. Thank you!

Awesome warstory! Being a noob to the competitive circuit, I've got to say it's the first I've read that really makes me feel like getting good is achievable, it's dissected the battle perfectly, and slowed it down so even the dimmest of lights like myself can keep up.

Miss missingno? Maybe a little? Surfing up and down Cinnabar Island, the days when glitches were passed between your school mates. Now it's just like "How do I get a shiny?" Internet says "RNG." Cool story bro.

The 02 Arena does a lot of random stuff like this during the daytime, conventions and the like, and Earl's Court Arena is also really well suited, they hold conventions pretty much every week. If the VGC goes to either of these, awesome (and of course, not just because it's closer). But you're...

I gotta say I'm really excited about the Unova only rule, it's gonna give a really fresh feeling to the whole thing, and it allows for so many noobs to the competetve arena (like myself) to have a decent shot. Plus I'm not too fussed that we're getting B&W so much closer to the start of the VGC...

On paper it sounds awesome, yet it'll be my first VGC, and being a master from the outset . . . THE PRESSURE!
