Will there be a Pokémon character distribution?

When you attend the Pokémon National Championships, you'll be able to get a powerful Metagross like the one Masters Division player Ray Rizzo used to win the Pokémon World Championships! In addition to having the same move set, this Level-45 Shiny Metagross shares the same Nature, Ability, and held item as the one on Ray's championship team. Remember that you don't need to participate in the tournament to get this Shiny Metagross. Just be sure to bring your system from the Nintendo DS family or your Nintendo 3DS system, and your copy of Pokémon Black Version, Pokémon White Version, Pokémon Black Version 2, or Pokémon White Version 2 game. The distribution will begin at noon.

This might be interesting for some of you: German Nationals will have an extensive coverage on event.amigo-spiele.de.
It is planned to have a live stream with live commentary (only in German - but still).

 

[FirestormXVI]

Will you updating for the video game as well? Will there be online pairings at the event?

 

[baby mario]

The live stream is excellent.

Thank you to whoever is responsible.

 

[Rambo]

The live stream is excellent.

Thank you to whoever is responsible.

Couldn't agree more, brilliant live stream.

 

[Zarmakuizz]

Here are the top's pairings with played decks. I don't know much about the played decks, so if anybody knows more about it, please tell and I'll add that to the challonge.

We are stil waiting to get the points we earned at the International Event.

 

[Daladrion]

Hi Lia,

sorry for the late response but there will be no Championship Points for the International Event. Only six players attended, so the tournament was no longer sanctioned and we had to cancel it.

 

[Mew35]

well I think its redicouous
Because we asked before it started if we get the points
They said yes and now its NO
They paired by hand and would upload it by hand

We traveled 300 km vice versa for those points
Thanx for nothing then

 

[falcom4ever]

Yeah it is quite a problem for those who traveled...

 

[hampuse1]

The point in having these kind of tournaments is to get people the last CPs for worlds(just like US will have at their nats). There is just so bad that the participants won't get points now. I almost considered going from Sweden for my last 50 points.

 

[Mew35]

Yes thats indeed the point
My friend needed the points for Worlds
And thats not all the waiting for a response
But I hope thewy will put it in the add next time that with not eonough players NO Points

 

[falcom4ever]

What if a player though he had the invite and booked his expensive flight to Vancouver ?

 

[Ryuzaki_Lawliet]

I don't know who told you otherwise but you should know that no tournaments with less that 8 players can be sanctioned and so count through the Premier program
