==Video Game Championships==
==Video Game Championships==
The 2012 Video Game Championships will be held from 10th to 12th August at Waikaloa, Hawaii.
As {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} were not yet available worldwide, participants used the {{v|Black and White|s}} for the tournament.
 
All matches were conducted via [[Double Battle]]s and any Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] could be entered, with the exception of {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p| Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}} and {{p|Genesect}}.
 
Similar to [[Flat Battle]] mode, Pokémon of Levels 51 and above were temporarily reduced to Level 50, while Pokémon Level 50 and below retained their levels. Held items may be used, but no two Pokémon from the same team may hold the same held item. Players were not allowed to change their held items after they have registered, and can only use items from within the game and those received at an official Pokémon event or promotion.
 
Moves were restricted to those learnt from the game through leveling up, breeding, TMs and HMs, from a character in the game or from an official event or promotion. {{m|Sky Drop}} and {{m|Dark Void}} were banned in this format, with Sky Drop being banned due to a [[Sky Drop glitch|glitch]].


As there are no new versions of the game released this year, participants will be using the {{v|Black and White|s}} for the tournament.  
In addition, the [[Wonder Launcher]] was not permitted to be used.
