On June 11, 2010 the 6th tournament took place in Pulaski, WI.  There are only two trainers: myself and my girlfriend.  She picked {{type|fighting}} and I got {{type|poison}}.  In the end, I won with my {{p|Drapion}} taking out five of her six Pokémon and my {{p|Gengar}} cleaned up the remaining one.

In the summer of 2009 Nintendo hosted the World Pokémon Video Game Championship in San Diego, CA.  Competitors from the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, and the United States went head to head to see which [[trainer]] is the best in the world.  Here in the USA [[trainers]] had to qualify in regional events that were held all around the country before attending the national event in St. Louis, MO and then the world event in California.  On May 23, 2009 a regional event was held in Phoenix, AZ.  At the time, I was attending college in Phoenix and decided this is too much of an opportunity to pass up.  All registered competitors were not guaranteed to compete however.  128 [[trainers]] were randomly selected for two age brackets each.  All registered competitors, weather chosen or not, received a {{shiny}} {{p|Milotic}} for coming out and enjoying the show.  So even if I wasn't selected to compete I could still obtain a {{shiny}} {{p|Milotic}}.  After the championship I wrote an additional article on the event itself and my experience for anyone who my be interested in doing it themselves.
Over my many years of playing the Pokémon games I've been fortunate enough to make it to several official championships.  They are the ultimate experience for any trainer and you really get to see your strengths and weaknesses in the spotlight.  Below are a couple articles on my experiences.


==The Experience==
==2009: The Experience==
In the summer of 2009 I attended the Pokémon Regional Championships in Phoenix, AZ.  For those of you who've never attended an official event I strongly encourage you to take a road trip to the nearest one to you.  If you are serious about being a trainer it's an absolute must.  Upon registering your team all contestants are given a wristband with a Pokémon, and it's [[Pokédex]] number, listed on it.  I got {{p|Typhlosion}}.  About an hour and a half after registration 128 random Pokémon were posted and the contestants with those Pokémon on their wristbands were the ones selected to compete in the regionals.  Unfortunately, I did not get selected but I still obtained my {{shiny}} {{p|Milotic}} for registering and was able to battle against several other trainers.  It's amazing to see everyone's battle strategies.  One trainer I battled while standing in line for {{shiny}} {{p|Milotic}} used four [[Eeveelutions]] but was easily defeated by my {{p|Slaking}}.  Another trainer absolutely annihilated my team using a ridiculously fast {{p|Gengar}}.  One of my friends that did get selected managed to win his first match but was knocked out in the second round.  In all, the event was very fun and worth going to if you get a chance.

==2011: Championship Bound==
On July 8, 2011 the US National Championship will be held in Indianapolis, IN.  There are several things different about this year's tournament.  One is that only [[Generation V]] Pokémon can be used.  So all the previous Generation favorites are null and void this year.  Second, registration is on a first come first serve basis.  Those who show up early are likely to compete.  Third, there are three age divisions: Juniors, Seniors, Masters.  Apparently, the original trainers from when the games came out are now much older adults like me.  Finally, and most importantly, there is a last chance qualifying round the day before the National and World Championships.  This allow trainers that were not able to make it to an earlier event, or did not win at an earlier event, a second chance to compete. Which is really good for me!  I live in Wisconsin and the closest Regional event is in Georgia.  So I wasn't going to be able to do it this year if it weren't for the second chance qualifier.  This July I will be making a trip to Indianapolis to compete.
