      Thanks for putting this news headline up!

      I am attending this year and I can tell you if you go to any pokémon event. This is the greatest and most memorable because you meet SO many new friends and rivals here and get to do awesome discussions plus meet some of the greatest players in the UK and whom will be going to the world stage to represent great britain.

      Since they’ve forgotten. You also get a Shiny eevee for just going to the event! So go!

    • F said:

      i went to the one in Burmingham, 10 away from the door i was turned away because they had filled up all the slots. I got really annoyed with that…

    • Ben Evans said:

      i was turned away still outside the building so i had no hope of getting in :(

      but still,
      i did a few good trades and won 5 of 7 free battles with randomers so the day was great :)

    • Powerful team in the midland`s said:

      I was ment to go but I did`nt as I hate battles with Lengards

    • rammgirl30 said:

      I feel like I’ve been training my whole life for this competition, and we are going! My very supportive man and his best friend are coming along, and we’ll be taking plenty of photos too. It’ll be our first time in Indianapolis, so hopefully it’ll be a great experience. I have plenty of faith in my team, but only one legendary is on it. Hope I can compete with the several teams that have both Kyogre and Dialga on them.

    • Draco Kid said:
