Pokemon Championships detailed

Details for next year's Pokemon Championships have been released, with three age divisions played out in five cities across UK and Europe in March for the Nationals, with winners heading to Hawaii for the World Championship.

Pokemon Black and White are the versions needed to participate, with tournaments free to all, though on a first come, first play basis until the number cap has been reached. The UK day is Saturday March 3rd in the Birmingham NEC.

The four finishers from each age division will be granted a place at The World Championships held August 10th - 12th in Hawaii: those entrants under 18 will receive accommodation for an accompanying adult.
