Closest is a state away. Guess I won't be competing.

WHY DO THEY KEEP IGNORING IOWa?

I'm looking forward to the spring one in Athens (Georgia)

@dreaminghawk
Because there aren't enough people in Iowa..

Now, it's a shame that they don't have one in Minneapolis..

Still, why do they make them so far away? MN could easily work. But my fear of hights disables me from boarding planes, so I can't even go anywhere else but MNor IL

I could probably make it to Santa Clara, but I'm not that into Pokemon, and my team probably isn't that great.

@Void Yeah, shame there wasn't enough time to build a solid team.

Sounds cool, but I've never been much for EV training. Seems like it would take a lot of work (and take some fun out of the game, too).

Just finished my first EV trained team today, but I dont even live in NA so its not even worth the mention to me

@the_other_m If you can get the help of pokerus, a macho brace and an exp. share, its actually much easier than it seems.

wonder what the winner prize for this one will be?

The world championship is actually being held where I live!? Crazy, I never thought that would ever happen.

So how can you enter the black and white 2 world championships?

@joker94 you and me both.

And this children, is why new England has no idea such competitions exist.
_{on a related note, I went to Pennsylvania last Saturday, for 3 days, and I bought black 2, yet now they decide, after I've come home, to actually host an event such as this. D:}

In a sort of relevant comment to the subject, I've always been curious about Ash's whiskers(?) on his cheeks
