VGC '12 Locations - Canadian Nationals Announced (Updated March 4th)

[nightwolf]

There's still hope for a Phoenix Regional. Even though I don't live there any more, I want a reason to visit if there is one xD

Yeah I'm still holding out hope there will be one in Phoenix :s

 

[Firestorm]

I don't see why there would be. Look in the OP and you'll see the most likely places. With my limited knowledge of US geography, the only regional I see Phoenix making for is Southern Plains and Houston is more than likely taking that.

 

[soul_survivor]

So, wait if a person finishes 1st in a november regional, can he play in a april regional¿

 

[Superpokemon67]

Yes, he can.

WELL FUCK MY ASS

I guess it's really not that expensive to go to Indiana and chances are I'm going to get a job soon and I already bought my bus ticket and I want to see people soooooo yup ^_____^

 

[Firestorm]

Cool so the only two remaining locations we don't know are where the Eastern Canada (likely Toronto area) and Southeast (likely Atlanta area) regionals are.

 

[PungentFruit]

Ok coolioooooo

I will be attending Philly's event! Only about 30 minutes away so it should be fun

I thought Lake Buena Vista,FL was southeast region. Correct?

 

[Firestorm]

Florida and Southeast are two different regionals.

Does anyone have a hunch on where the Vancouver Regional may be held? I was thinking the Vancouver Convention Centre, but I am not sure, and can't think of any other possible venues.

 

[Firestorm]

No idea. Last year was the Compass Point Inn in Surrey but this years is expected to have 3 - 4 times the number of people as last year due to the addition of VGC and the Oregon regional happening at a different time. I assume they'll be changing the venue as a result. Vancouver Convention Centre would be an awesome location though.

 

[Eraddd]

I wonder how popular the Vancouver VGC will be. I'm curious as to how they're going to market it there.

 

[Jegretis]

Yeah, Vancouver Convention Centre would be the BEST place to have it. Nice view, nice venue, nice and big, nice washrooms, it's just nice, and awesome. Another good venue could be one of those party halls(banquet halls).

Also, I think that Vancouver has pretty good Pokemon community. Not to mention, players from Seattle may come as well.

 

[Oberon]

A regional? IN MY CITY?

Oh TCPI how I love you.

 

[Feathers]

Oh, are we talking about Vancouver now? I wish they could afford to advertise like they do in Japan.

I took this in the subway around 2 days after B/W came out. They advertised pokemon everywhere, including the Victini downloads and Mcdonalds downloads... if only Vancouver was Japan for a day.

I kind of hope its at the convention center. Easier for me to get to as opposed to Surrey, especially if I'm there all day.

 

[PokeKid5]

Are there any confirmed vgc events for Northeastern locations yet?

Philadelphia, PA and Providence, RI.

 

[coolbiz]

They should do Atlanta for southeast again I hope they do. Then ill be able to go even though lake buena vista,FL is like 4 hours away...

 

[sophies]

I am so pumped to see Canadian nerds at the VGC's hopefully they don't pick an awkward place in Toronto to get too.

 

[TheGr8]

Provi Rhode Island. Not having to drive 4+ hours this year Let's try 45 minutes with more of my friends this time= pumped!

 

[Firestorm]

US Nationals are happening from June 29th to July 1st, 2012.
