No love for Leicester[...] :'(

Now, even though I can make it to Cribbs Causeway, call me insane, I would like to, but I don't think I want to. I'm not the most confident battler, you see.

I may, however, change my mind. There's still a while 'till April.

UK has this and Spain doesn't have VGC. Stupid Nintendo

London and Stratford will definitely go to. Those are my choices.

I wish I lived there, this seems like a great experience.

Did anyone manage to find the banlist for this tournament? I had a hunt through the FAQs and terms and conditions and couldn't find any details.

I think it's the same rules as VGC. They did hide them really well in the terms and conditions though, took me a good while to find.
