Use a Trick Room team
Dude I was just kidding :D
[edit]I actually did look into that at one point though, as I'm sure everyone else who's ever played pokemon competitively has ;P
The list of Japanese players seem to be different from the one posted earlier but they still only list 7 names for Japan's Senior players.
???
Hmmmm... kind of depressing. It's nothing but "Stay Tuned! We'll actually have something of interest up in a week or two! :D"
Oh yeah Zog. That was another dead end I looked into because I played through Pearl with a No Guard Machamp and liked it a lot. Also, Serebii's description of that ability is a bit misleading :/

Lol yeah, Serebii's quite dodgy in a few aspects. How he romanized Swampert's Japanese name as "Rugaji" when it's "Laglarge" quite clearly comes to mind. :P
How "Raguraaji" could be possibly seen as "Rugaji" and then published on a popular site (I've even seen a swampert nicknamed "RUGAJI") is still beyond me lol. Great site resourcewise though, if a little woolly in places but I usually use Bulbapedia.
And in other news, me and Shoe have finally got round to getting his team members for the worlds and I've EVed one of them. The reason why I've got some of them is because they're part of next year's team for me lol. However I do have high hopes for Shoe at the Worlds. Don't let that awful battle Vs. Sadman make you think he'll just end up being an also-ran. ^_^
I've asked him to buy me a Rayquaza hat too lol. I hope they're selling them. I'll have him nip over to the TCG section and get a Tropical Wind for me too. No idea why, but that card is some kind of cool. I don't even play the TCG at all lol, or indeed have a card from the last 8 years or so.

Too bad it is still mostly TCG orientated.. it actually makes me kind of sad.
Hmm... I wonder why that is? Maybe Flight Info was not properly input (or just not yet), and may possibly be DQ'd? Actually, the same might happen to me...

Well we are a side event...
I know... It's actually embarrassing.
It almost sounds like it's better to be a TCG player.
Cool, Junichi Masuda and Tsunekaz Ishihara will be there again, along with Takeshi Kawamicharu, just like last year; time to pull out a poster for them to autograph! maybe I'll have them sign the same one from last year, that'd be funny. x)
Anyways, the reason the names are up there is because they just took the names that qualified at St. Louis and put them in the order they got in the order of flights, I think. It doesn't tell you what the brackets are yet, so we'll just have to wait and see.

It kind of is. Scholarship money for prizes is sweet.
yeah. I guess the scholarship $ kind of makes up for like a tenth of the $ it takes to stay competitive in TCG. I know. I tried to stay competitive years ago. It's ridiculous!
Haha, they wrote Fatum's and my name incorrectly :D
Whatever, I thought about the case with the seven Japanese players. If one of them got DQ'd without replacement there would only be 29 players in the competition... What do you guys think how they'll manage that? Will they give away byes or will they have a last chance qualifier to replace that one competitor spot?
I personally think byes are way too random for such an occasion (they can screw your tiebreaker). Either another Japanes player will take the spot or there will be a last chance qualifier. Swiss with 29 players is just way too random -.-

The deck I used to qualify for his years worlds could be built for under $100 and it's highly competitive. You don't have to own every single card to be competitive and it's actually the cheapest TCG around. I'm sure even the other top decks which have mor expensive cards could be built for under $300, which is was less than the scholarship money given out. 1/10 of the money is quite ridiculous :P.
I updated the list with the European names and the Japanese names. I figured out who is who in Japan. Go check it out, I have to leave for a cruise in a few minutes, and I'm too lazy to quote myself :). If you want to play competitive TCG, you're going to need thousands of dollars just to test decks. The schollarship money doesn't make up for it...
