i'm glad that was your honest opinion because otherwise it would not make sense to post, imho.
i agree with you, op. New Jersey provides more of a family-friendly environment than Hawaii does.
Worlds should be east west US yearly

i think every place is more of a family-friendly evironment than Hawaii.
But worlds isnt about being friendly to players,its about being friendly to certain groups of players and things like that.
jmho though

no. best location is either Los Angelos or Compton imo. location needs to change everyone once in a while.
I'll post my standard thing...
2004 Nationals - Midwest (Columbus, OH)
2004 Worlds - EAST COAST (Orlando, FL)
2005 Nationals - Midwest (Columbus, OH)
2005 Worlds - West Coast (San Diego, CA)
2006 Nationals - Midwest (Columbus, OH)
2006 Worlds - West Coast (Los Angeles, CA)
2007 Nationals - Midwest (Columbus, OH)
2007 Worlds - Hawaii
2008 Nationals - Midwest (Columbus, OH)
2008 Worlds - EAST COAST (Orlando)
2009 US Nationals - Midwest (St. Louis, MO)
2009 Worlds - West Coast (San Diego, CA)
2010 US Nationals - Midwest (Indianapolis, IN)
2010 Worlds - Hawaii
2011 US Nationals - Midwest (Indianapolis, IN)
2011 Worlds - West Coast (San Diego, CA)
2012 US Nationals - Midwest (Indianapolis, IN)
2012 Worlds - Hawaii
9 US Nationals - 0 on the East Coast
9 Worlds - 2 on the East Coast
Only 2 of the 18 major events in the past 8 years have been on the East Coast. That's messed up.

For goodness' sake, where on the East coast do you want events? It's not like Indy or Colombus are/were terribly far away for most of the East Cosst?

And I've had 1 of 6 Nationals on my half of the country and 0 of 6 Worlds in my country since 2007. What's your point?
Doesn't matter where you put anything, there will always be people who complain.

Only 4 of the 18 major events in the past 8 years have been on the West Coast. That's messed up.
Distance from California to Indiana
2239.23 miles
Distance from New York to Indiana
706.46 miles
Thats 1/3 of what west coast has to drive/fly. Indiana if anything is east coast

I really don't like the Hawaii location. If you're going to force the player base to get expensive plane tickets, I'd rather it be to somewhere much more enjoyable to go.
I think my top 10 places would be:
Paris, France
London, England
Amsterdam
Cape Town, South Africa
Moscow, Russia
Tokyo, Japan
Orlando, Fl.
Chicago, IL
Somewhere fun in Australia
Berlin, Germany

Boy, was that selfish. Nationals is irrelevant. The entire point of Nats is to have it in a CENTRAL location, so it's easy for EVERYONE to come to- not so you can have it in your back yard.
i think anywhere in europe/other than USA is impossible because of the japanese.they have too much power/influence in the decision making for the worlds while i think europe has none.the ones who make the shots are 70% Japan 30% USA.and once again my best comment-worlds location is set for +3 years.it HAS TO BE at the Hilton since TPCi,Pokemon USA has a contract with them.
If it were only the Hilton thing it would be possible,but since there are other things involved europe/anywhere else than USA can't w/won't get worlds for a while.And i think the Japanese have no interest in hosting worlds,that's why im leaving Japan out of this.

I've heard quite a few people say the Hilton contract expires this year so next year is up in the air.
Whats the point of having worlds somewhere were nobody plays? (South Africa,Russia)

I will not be happy until Worlds is literally in my backyard.
Expanding the game-Russia is a major unexploited market...etc

They would be better off establishing a player base in such areas first before hosting Worlds there. Practically zero locals will grind in the LCQ if Worlds were to be held in a place with little Pokémon players. I do agree, though, that Worlds should be held in other countries other than the US, especially in places with flourishing communities. Europe, Japan, or even places like Hong Kong, Malaysia or Singapore would be great.
