0:37, it's me!

I got into the top 16 before getting knocked out...great day, unfortunately I didn't sleep much the night before xD

[buzzthebatgirl]

I only got abut 2 hours sleep, my stupid Vital Spirit kept me awake ^_^

[RyuShoji]

My Salamence not being finished kept me up =3

[buzzthebatgirl]

I had my team all ready almost a week before, all I had to worry about was getting up for the airport bus in the morning

You were a Tentacool, lol

How do you get into it?

[buzzthebatgirl]

Get KO'd in the third round, the video should be somewhere around here...

[Samwellsalmon]

i alread have heart gold :) i imported it from japan a while back.

[RyuShoji]

We'll be finding out on March 26th, also, we have to use HeartGold or SoulSilver.

[Samwellsalmon]

sucks to be me than. do you know when the vgc and where the vgc will be held for the u.k then?

[RyuShoji]

VGC 2010 rules were announced earlier this month - they are Japan's rules.

[Samwellsalmon]

well im fairly sure i can pass of 18 :) ive done it a fair few times. i hope they call offthe japanese vgc rules though. i had an amost ready vgc team unil the rules changed for 2010.

[RyuShoji]

I was 17 when I entered last year...I just faked it =3

but tbh, if you're too young to pass off as 18, it's best to get your parents to come anyway...last year it was in London, which is a good place for tourists anyway.

[Samwellsalmon]

thanks a lot :) so if im under 18. which iam. do i need to have my parent with me when i go?

[RyuShoji]

I don't know if it'll be different this year but...

basically, you just turn up to the event, where you are handed a team sheet. You fill it in and hand it in at a counter, where they quickly check your game (literally checking it's version) before you sign a declaration with your contact details etc and confirming parental consent if you're under 18. Then, you are given a number.

20 minutes after registration is called, 128 numbers are called - if your number is called, you're entered.

[Samwellsalmon]

i want to enter the vgc. can someone explain to me how i do enter?

[RyuShoji]

I'm already working on my 2010 team - I just hope we get to keep Japan's rules, if not, then there's Pokémon I can use as substitutes.

Going to the VGC was the first time I went on a train without a parent, I love trains =3
