It didn't get moved 400 miles away. It got moved 400 miles closer. You can't argue distance, it is different for everyone. And also, why can't nationals continue to grow by 25-30% at St. Louis? Granted it might not do that this next year due to the economic situation we are in. But still, the only reason this would be argued against that I can see is that some people enjoyed Origins. I personally never saw much outside of it, and no longer have to buy a site badge, or worry about a crowded food hall due to tons of non-pokemon people there. I also think it's a much nicer environment for younger kids.
