National Mall Tour for Black & White - Page 2

*yoshi1001* · 01/11/2011, 09:01 PM

I think one of the qualifications was that there had to be a cineplex in (or perhaps adjacent would have worked as well). I know the MoA has one.

*jogon* · 01/11/2011, 11:00 PM

This is so exciting! I can't wait!! I wonder what kind of merchandise they'll have at the event.

**sdrawkcab** · 01/12/2011, 04:28 AM

And Canada gets left out again.....

Heatherdu · 01/12/2011, 07:28 AM

Very exciting!

These stops do overlap with some prerelease and States dates. Anyone know if this tour will have TCG demos or other TCG activites like promos? Any chance some of the TCG events can be moved/merged with the tour?

*bullados* · 01/12/2011, 09:08 AM

How does the third largest metro area in the US not have one of these? Chicago FTW!

I'll probably try and hit the Indy one, but that will require some planning...

EricDent · 01/12/2011, 10:01 AM

Tempting, but not sure if I feel like driving 3 hours to get to the nearest one...in Dallas.

The one near Seattle would have been a bit of a haul as well, if I was still living there.

Georgia on the other hand was literally 5 minutes from my old house (we moved about the time it opened).

Hey, I'll go to grapevine mills for some cool swag

Politoed666 · 01/12/2011, 10:47 AM

So does anyone else find it odd that they're ignoring Chicago, the third largest city in the United States?

Garch · 01/12/2011, 01:42 PM

Well, what do you know, nothing near Hawai'i.

Everyone else better have fun for me.

*GL Mo* · 01/12/2011, 02:35 PM

Memphis and Cleveland but not Boston....?

"Ignoring" is a bit strong if you ask me, but there are a number of curious omissions. I'm guessing they didn't get all their first choices (as usual).

ThePokemonRhombus · 01/12/2011, 06:59 PM

Really wish that this was anywhere CLOSE to where I live.

**Benzo** · 01/12/2011, 07:45 PM

Wish that TCPI would look at the number of players in certain states of the TCG- they would see that Oregon could could use a tour stop here.........but, I guess If I REALLY wanted to spend 9 hours on the road to attend this.........

Bummer........... Oh well, no different then traveling that much for a VGC location every year.....

but the VGC is more worth it then this, so next time TCPI does a tour- bring it to Oregon next time!

*jogon* · 01/12/2011, 11:54 PM

This is a great thing you guys. Bringing back mall tours in general is great. I know most will be upset that this isn't in their backyard but please be aware that they are at least trying! I'm really excited even though I still have to make a drive out of it :)

espy87 · 01/13/2011, 07:57 AM

I wish they would have some TCG giveaways or something. It would make me want to go to this

You can say that again. Wish they'd add another date and put it there..

JPN Gallade · 01/13/2011, 07:09 PM

Wow, this is actually quite exciting. It's been a long while since we had a Journey Across America-like event. Only now, it has come back to celebrate the release of Pokemon Black and White! Now that's pretty exciting to hear.

The only downside is that yet again, looks like TPCi ignores Chicago. Chicago would be quite an ideal place to throw an event like this too, since they are throwing it in other major cities like New York. Oh well, maybe Chicago will gain an event like this in the near future.

What? Why?
I thought they got rid of all the Blue Laws.
Lots of malls in NJ are open on Sunday. Why not this one?

Guess you are going to miss a State tourney if you are going to D/FW that weekend.

And so will you. It's on the same weekend so not many will be there that normally would go.

kekaw2 · 01/14/2011, 03:08 PM

Too bad the closest one is 5 hours away

HorrorGuitar · 01/14/2011, 03:43 PM

Anyone going to the event in Philly?

TagueLizard · 01/14/2011, 08:01 PM

WOW... this will change pokemon for ever I would not miss this for the world.
