This past weekend saw the Pokémon Video Game Championships hit Birmingham, UK, with teams travelling from all over Europe for a shot at the prize. While the event itself went off without a hitch, Ruben Puis Lecegui defending his title to secure a trip to Hawaii, we've heard rumblings of an unpleasant occurrence along the way.
PokéChamp21 on the Pokémon World forums posted about an unsavoury incident involving the Spanish team, a hotel corridor and human faeces. PokéChamp21 wrote:
After 30-40min in my room relaxing with a quick snooze I awoke to the sound of banging comming from down the hall from where the 'Spanish Team' were staying in. It seems that at some point after they had turned up and when we went to Wether Spoons the Spniards had decided to have a 'Poo' fight in the corridor and this had upset the staff and several guests (naturally) at the hotel enough to call the Police and have them leave.
We've also heard accounts of this sorry story from other sources in attendance at the tournament. Certainly not the sort of thing you'd expect to happen at a Pokémon event, let's face it.

Wait, were monkeys involved?
LOL! Did they throw [yep - moderators]?
"Now look what you've done!" Great tagline, and a "Poo" fight? REALLY?!?
And I'm sure some sort of alcoholic drink was involved in this.
[...] had decided to have a 'Poo' fight in the corridor [...]
I bet they were just teaching the move "Mud Shot" to their Mudkips.
I want to know exactly how much alcohol it take to think having a poo fight is a good idea, so I may avoid it at all costs.
Well, that turned out to be a crappy event...
Guess they figured since they'd never be Number One, may as well shoot for Number Two.
@Red-acetur
Haha, yeah. Only took 30-40 minutes too. It went to hell pretty damn fast.
Not Pookémon, people, not Pookémon !
Maybe they just went all nostalgic from cleaning crap from Tamagotchis. A de-evolution, if you will.
Fight with Pokemon not poo!
I don't see this story as newsworthy and would appreciate if such stories were not published on Nintendo Life.
This is a crappy story. That really stinks.
@PaperSpock I second that motion, even if I do think that it is really funny.
"Go ape!" gets a whole new meaning.
"Está encendido como Donkey Kong!" was heard among hotel staffers during the incident.
While the rest went to see Pikachu fight the Spanish went to PickaPoo fight
Gotta flush 'em all.
Also, I'm just going to leave this here.
USE MUDDY WATER!
IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE!
Hey it's another slow news day.
At least this one is funny, hahaha!
@sak904
Bada-ting!
@tbd
Win!!!
xDDDD
That incident stool the show. Fate is so fecal.
I guess it really hit the fan last night
What the? maybe they didn't have fudge so they decided to use something more messy?
I DON'T WANT TO LIVE ON THIS PLANET ANYMORE.
Gross.
you know before a water balloon fight you have to sit around and fill water balloons to prep for the fight. I can't believe that someone didn't say "this is weird, let's not do this" during the prepping for this fight.
Hope they have plenty of water Pokemon to clean their act
This all I need to say
...WTF.
@Stine Inte had loaded quick that was when it came out for this to happen...
go pikapoo i choose you
good thing flags aren't shown on every comment anymore
i choose jigglypoof
Someone has Muk on his team...
Surely they had too much to drink or were on something. If not, then what the hell is wrong with them?
I've had too much to drink many times in my life and never, not even once, did I think to myself "you know what would be fun...a sh*t fight!"
Wai- Wha...
Hahaha. Oh you crazy Brazilians.
re-reads article
Wait what?!
Ya know what's sad, though? To those the world over reading this news on any site that discusses this(which will probably be just gamer sites, but who knows?), who don't stop, & think (this was an group of individuals, not a whole country), then gamers from all of Spain could get proverbially painted certain colors, & embarrassed by this incident. Again, I repeat: This was just a group of individuals, not all of Spain's gamers. This just sounds completely rude, & immature. Edit: How old were these people, anyway?
Come on, guys. I do this all the time.
A stink bomb went off in my school today i'm not lying but the comments are reminding me of those 14 year old boys that Threw it on the GROUND!
@Corbs: Exactly! Dunno why people are commenting like this would've been normal if they were really drunk.. because it's far from it.
@Monkeh: seconded, lol. alcohol may have been involved, but in no way is coprophilia a common side-effect of drinking too much. saying stupid things, getting into fights, and eventually falling asleep, yes. playing with poo, no.
Hey, I never said it required a normal amount. I'm assuming it would require something near coma levels. Still, I'd like to avoid even the slightest chance of this happening to me. I'm weird enough without drugs.
I bet the cleaners are out for revenge now!
Why? Just... why?
@Swiket: Surely you know us better than that
This is the first time I've heard about something Poo related Nintendo-wise since Earthbound!
What the Muk?
@PunnyGuy Conker's Bad Fur Day says hi.
WTF I mean really EW.
1 big Cup was involved, scoop and throw.
Nobody expects the Spanish defecation!
@warioswoods: you came thiiiiiiiiis close to owing me a new keyboard just now.
thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis close
.....
My goodness.
Conker the squirrel facing off against the Spanish Pokemon Team yesterday....
@Swiket Sadly, so did I.
Please, do not think that all Spanish pleople are like these morons... -.-
@Strongo Jeez don't make a big deal about this. It was just a slow day, they heard about this news and had nothing better to post about.
BTW Some people do enjoy articles like this.
I was thinking more along the lines of Mud-slinging, since they made an article rooting for the UK team not long after posting this...
that nasty
@Koops3: i think he was joking, considering the puns involved :3
@19Robb92 How I felt
I don't understand how this could be the featured news article on this site. Anyone who does something this disgusting and gross are Idiots.
It's relieving to hear that the police was called to wipe them out. I can't believe the crap that those jerks pulled. You'd think they came from the bowels of the underworld, by how they acted. Usually when I get in trouble in a hotel, it's because I scat-sing in the hallway. But THIS... Tsk, tsk.
On an unrelated note, my old handle was DingleDootie.
@19Robb92 I second/third/quintuple that.
@iPruch Of course not. THESE people are just losers; they don't represent the whole.
I hope they got arrested and payed a heavy fine for that disgusting act.
That's BAD! They should get "wiped" out by the competition. I wouldn't want to smell them at the tournament. And if they could win that would piss me off.

No, Trubbish made them do it.
I bet they came to the event just so they could ruin it for everyone else with the poo fight...
That's nasty and they should be ashamed of themselves
.................
I love how this is getting more attention than the article focusing on the actual championship.
EWa!
I was disappointed to see this posted, but now it's the top "featured article"? Wow.
@iPruch THANK YOU!! my God -_-"
Oh and I did think pokemon brown was a racist remark till I read the article now it makes sense
And how in the lord did this become featured article????
Was I the only one who looked at the calendar to make sure it wasn't April 1st after reading this article? I mean, this was a scream!!!! LoL!!! : D
@SuperSherbet Haha… that's flippin' hilarious!
Yeesh, that's just heinous!
WTF
lmao, a wild flying turd appeared!
Sounds like it was a real... Mud Sport!
Thank you, try the veal.
@theblackdragon
"might as well shoot for Number Two"
Hahahaha!!!!!! Ah man that was a REALLY good one!
insert filthy joke here
The anal experience is the first experience of power in a man's life.
Disgraceful. I don't know what else to say, other than I'm glad it wasn't my country because honestly that wouldn't have surprised me much.
Oy Vey get rid of this article. I don't care for news about people acting dumb. That's what Facebook is for.
Next time i hope for a "We might not have won. But we still got into the HoF."
Did you really have to make this immature news story a featured article?
Monkeys and Apes throw poo at each other. It's nice to know humanity just dropped a few pegs on the evolutionary latter. Oh, and I feel sorry for the janitors who had to clean that up.
Stooopid Hooligans...
@battLeToaD i think the problem is rather that they weren't in the Hall of Fame now, actually :3
last time i saw a poo fight, i was to the zoo
I could do a 2 girls 1 cup joke, but I'm pooped...
@battLeToaD
More like HoS, if you catch my drift.Just realized what you meant. You nasty.From now on I take Nintendolife as a news source a little less serious.
LETS HAVE A PILLOW FIGHT!!!!,screw that,lets have a sh!t fight!
@Tethers I second your opinion.
You know, guys, I don't think NL reported on this event because it was newsworthy in and of itself. The results, however, have quite a bearing on gaming- I'd say that a team not winning the European Pokémon Championship because of an outside event makes that event quite newsworthy, regardless of what happened.
Pichapoo?
@Morpheel nice one
