Interesting correction.
Yes, thankfully, it's slowly turning more and more international. Since I am a very strong supporter of internationalization and international communication, both Pokémon-wise and personally, I think this new direction the community is taking is a wonderful one.
However, I think there are still some small issues that need to be resolved before this forum is truly international. In the past, American players had separate sub-forums for Cities, States, Nationals, Leagues etc, while the "International" sub-forum covered every single tournament series in every other country than the USA. I'm seeing an interesting change lately, where City Championships results and reports are being posted in the "City Championship" sub-forum by International players, instead of in the "International" forum.
I hope this is a trend that will continue, and will be supported by moderators/staff, so that the Pokégym will turn out to a forum that isn't divied into two parts: USA (normal, minority) and "International" (abnormal, everything that isn't the USA), but instead divided the way OP truly is divided in the World: In over 30 equally important parts.
I'm glad more Japanese players are joining us on the boards. Welcome to Junpapa!
I have lately been spreading the
www.pokegym URL to several Japanese players I've met at tournaments, so hopefully we'll see more Japanese members from now on.
