My house is literally a 6 hour drive from both the phoenix and san fran stops. Not happy right now. HOPEFULLY I can get my drivers' license in time to show up to one or both of them.

May 15th, eh. I really haven't done any prep work at all for this. Wonder if I can whip up a competitive team in 1 months time?
I'm actually surprised at these location's despite the majority of us east coast players heading to NJ. That first come first serve crap is pretty insane as well. I'm honestly just happy the lottery crap is gone.
I honestly think your the only Canadian i have seen on smogon going to VGC O.o. well that's massive luck for you than. Good luck to all who compete this year!
All we have here are the Shores, Six Flags, and a train or two to NYC.
Haha I am out. xD
Dallas is too far from San Antonio for Pokemon. lmfao

Well that's just fantastic, no pressure or anything. I do have a friend who might be coming though... Maybe if I'm lucky, Newark will see some Torontonites. I've driven from Niagara to New York before, so I know it isn't that bad. Otherwise, I'll be the only one.
CANADA REPRESENT
werd
I'm from Vancouver. Unless problems arise, I should be at the Seattle stop again this year.
S'only 3-3 1/2 hours from Trinity, and I have a friend in Dallas I can go see, so it'll be all good.
Now I just actually have to catch stuff that isn't ass.
Lets not forget, Groudon trumps Kyorge in a weather match. Slower goes first. Wont believe how many Kyorge I have killed with my Groudon/Shiftry lead.
Evil Combos Must Die
So question: What to do if you are in your first VGC battle, and your apponent is using a Kyogre/Kingdra/Swampert/Zapdos combo?
Just looking for possiblities so that I do not IMMEADIATELY KO in the first round. That would suck...all of that work for nothing...

Just for you to know, I've emailed TPCi my complaints. We'll see if they are going to reply.
If you're curious about the content of the email, just PM me.

Trick Room + Rain can probably take care of that. Dialga and Ludicolo open, yes? Trick room, proceed to destroy threats?

I'm everywhere, you ain't never there
Hopefully you have a Swift Swim Ludicolo. He rapes that entire team.
You might wanna also worry about the fact that people might carry two weather inducers instead of just one, just in case you wanna mess up your opponent in the last second depending on what type of weather is currently in play.
also note that its pretty hard to attempt so it might also be a risk for you at the same time.
Oh, i also remember awhile back on PBR where a Japanese player i faced had hail+Rain. He ended up screwing me over when sending a hail inducer when i was ready to sweep with my Kingdra and ludi.

Mom and her boyfriend have agreed to drive me down to Dallas. Here I come Regionals!

I thought they would do that this year, but nope.
They should've had a Midwest stop other than Nationals..Oh well.
They should have a central-area stop as well. Like Chicago or Milwaukee. Hell, even Minnesota would do just fine (I think they did that before).
This year I am reduced to traveling to the very last regional comp in order to have a chance at nationals. oh well.
....You do know that there's essentially a regional qulaifier at Nationals, right? Placing in the top 16 in the Last Chance Qualifier allows you to play in Nationals...
