As long as it isn't a C-Gear skin..

Very cool, I'm liking this alot! Too bad I can't find time to start Black -_-

Ooh, I still have my fail VGC team from this year, maybe they can find some success in this. Definitely signing up, though I hope they don't set me up to battle on the 21st, because I'm on a class trip that day.

I got knocked out in Round 1 of the UK VGC qualifier (Despite being Top 16 in '09 and Top 64 in 2011). So I'm gonna be out for revenge xD

Gen V pokes only? I might end up skipping this, I'm not really a big fan of Gen V, along with the fact all my trained Pokes are among the earlier Gens.

I went to the Global Battle Union page but cannot find where to sign up for the tournament. I did click on the competition link at the bottom but it says there is none at the moment. Anyone sign up for this yet?

 

[Abba]

Sign-ups open on October 12th. Not open yet.

 

[Darksidehearts]

Wow, I feel like an idiot. I looked at my computer and it says it's the 17th. Well serves me right for not paying attention.

I was thinking of entering, but I've decided against it. Even though I feel my team could accomplish a fair amount, I really don't like playing competitively. Between friends is fine, but as a casual gamer, I'm not fond of that level of competition. Also, when I do get competitive, which I try not to, well, let's just say it brings out a side of me that I don't like. On top of that, I know the level reduction is for fairness, but still, it chafes to see countless hours disappear for a tournament's rules. So, in short, I'm not entering. Maybe if they were offering something big, like a large grand prize, and if the level reduction was removed (replaced with a Lv 100 rule), then I might be more interested. It sounded good at first, but after much thought, it's not my cup of tea.

So when do these signups begin? It's October 12 already where I live. They never really clarified what time they were going to open signups or what time zone.

 

[Darksidehearts]

They are probably waiting until it's the 12th everywhere the contest will apply for.

 

[swimiller]

Man, I've gotta go to sleep. I'll just have to hope all the spots aren't gone in the morning.

 

[Joshawott]

Still not open yet *sigh*

 

[swimiller]

It's still not open!? I guess it's a good thing I went to bed.

 

[Abba]

Stop posting. Triple post is a no.

 

[Joshawott]

Sign ups are open now!
