[mingot**]

My format.

US Regional Qualifier - Atlanta, GA

The Pokemon Video Game Championship returns to the dirty south this year. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything about the ATL shorty regional. Attendees will be listed at the bottom. Hope to see you there! Do not ask about the Hack Checks - it's much easier if you just avoid any form of cheating, then you know you're safe (anyone who asks about hack checks will receive an infraction).

Competitor slots are limited to 512 for the Junior Division (born in 1998 or later) and 768 for the Senior Division (born in 1997 or earlier). Players may only sign up for the event during their age division's registration times. Competitor slots will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Preregistration is not available for these events. Finishing in the top sixteen will grant you an invitation to play in the National Championship in Indianapolis, IN, June 26th-28th, 2010! First place gets full flight and hotel for one, 2-4 gets a 300$ travel allowance and top 4 will receive a Nintendo DSi

I would totally love to come to Atlanta to battle, but I'm not 100% sure I'll be able to make it at this point. It's only a 6 Hour Drive, right? I could get a Hotel room...

[mattj]

anybody know of any good attractions in and or near atlanta?

[Dalevl]

Could possibly be going , same boat as Puri :P

Altanta has, hands down, the best strip clubs in the nation.

But we've already discussed this, and for whatever reason you're against the idea of visiting a few. SO:

World of Coke
The Varsity
Altanta Aquarium
CNN Center
MLK National Historic Site
Stone Mountain Park
Six Flags over GA
High Museum of Art
Zoo Atlanta
Lake Lanier Islands

[Collardragon]

I am going to this one its maybe 20 mins from my house.

[Team_Rose]

I'm going, and I'm gonna try to get my fellow league members to go too. Either way it's gonna be a fun road trip.

[mattj]

TY mingy. :) Those are some great suggestions. Collardragon since you live near atlanta do you know of any other good attractions near there? Locals always have the best info.

[sarunibi]

I've been to ATL several times, and it is truly a great place to visit. But I won't be coming here for the attractions (been there, done that), I'm going to be coming for the qualifier. So I guess I'll see a couple of you guys there (unless I back out at the last minute).

The list pretty much sums up everything there is to do in north GA. Georgia is pretty dull during the summer especially since its so humid.

To save anyone checking, there are no braves games in atlanta that weekend :(

[Toadboy]

I'm new to this site, but i'll post that Myself and Family will be attending this event, makes for 1 juinor and 3 seniors.

[Flamewheeler]

IF I can get the motivation to actually train some pokes, I will go, but I have to focus on getting a ride. I haven't properly trained a pokemon since D/P. Heh, anyone live in central/south Florida? =)

I do~

To be honest, I've prepared a decent amount of pokemon set for the VGC, but I'm doubting that I'll get a ride over to Atlanta in time. Would be fun if I could go, though.

[Fayah]

I really want to go, but due to SAT subject tests on the same day and the loss of my pokemon pearl game, I probably won't be able to make it even if I was able to re-breed and re-train my old team

[L33tSnowLeopard]

So far, I am gonna go. Thank God for family in Atlanta, hehe. Otherwise I would never have a good excuse to go :)

[Alhamebird]

I am definately going to the tournament and I convinced my dad and step-nephew to come so it will be pretty fun.

[Rosewave]

I'm definately going :D
Should be fun, already made a team. Gwinnet center is just north from where i live luckily, and my parents are willing to drive me.

[Dunk]

Well, I'll be in attendance, but the chances of me competing are slim.

I just want the shiny Eevee that they're giving away! :x

[Caligulus]

If anyone in the atlanta area is interested, I was hoping to do some in-house playtesting once a week until the tournament comes. If anyone is interested I wanted to try this either mon or tues night every week at Tower games and Comics or somewhere else if there is a better location for others. Right now I have 3 that will be joining me regularly, but the more people the more ideas and inputs. Thanks.

Len and Thomas put on VGC 2010 Tourneys every single Sunday and Saturday (respectively) over wifi. Not as fun as IRL tourneys, but oftentimes more practical.

I may be able to do this at the Tower next week just PM me with info.

Since everyone else is doing this, I might as well too, If anyone plays the card game, bring your cards and stuff. Me and a few friends play the card game, and have some good stuff. My friends are much more competitive at the card game, but they will be participating in the VGC as well.

[Balls McGee]

Each player uses four Pokémon during the battle, and sends out two Pokémon at a time.
