That's cool too bad I don't compete in the VGC.

I would care, if I didn't already have one from RNGing. Seeing as I have no way of obtaining one anyway, I guess I actually wouldn't care.

That's cool too bad I don't compete in the VGC.

I've been at the 2010 British National Video Game World Championship Qualifier and didn't compete because I came too late but there were still many other people to battle and trade with and the Shiny Eevee, like this Shiny Lavitar, was a good reason to go to it even you don't compete.

I'm planning to go to the British National Championship qualifier in Birmingham but I expect I won't be competing because I live in York, registration starts at 8am and the first train is at 6am and takes at least two hours to Birmingham International but I'm still going to it to battle with and 3DS StreetPass other people, download the Shiny Lavitar and maybe get Pan/Simisage, Pan/Simisear and the other season forms of Deerling and Sawsbuck on Pokédex 3D from other people while giving them my "only one of which can be downloaded on each 3DS" Pokémon from my 3DS.

Too bad I can't go.

@Water Max That's why I've booked a hotel for the night before. Heading down to Birmingham the day before.

Also, there's a problem with the article, specifically:

This follows the trend of Pokémon distributions at the World Championships, right after Pikachu in 2007, Lucario in 2008, Shiny Milotic in 2008/2009, Weavile in 2009, Crobat and Shiny Eevee in 2010, and Scrafty in 2011.

This distribution isn't at the World Championships. 2009's Milotic, 2010's Eevee and 2012's Larvitar are separate from that. They're given out at Nationals etc, not Worlds.
