Sorry ladies and gentlemen. I haven't blogged in a while. I been on a new job and training a lot. I'm back, and I come bearing gifts. If you're a fan of the Pokemon series or video games, then this is a chance to win $100,000 and be a world champion. Nintendo is really putting some money and creativity behind this project. To sum it up, it's real life mimicking Ash Catchem's journey from Pokemon. You get to travel the world and battle other Pokemon gamers to win a lot of money.
Show off your Pokémon fighting skills in the Pokkén Tournament Championship Series! This new series features competitions across North America and Europe, in which players compete for invitations and Championships Points toward a trip to the Pokkén Tournament World Championships this August in San Francisco, California. A prize pool worth over $100,000 is in store for the winning competitors in the Pokkén Tournament Championship Series!
There will be two age divisions: the Senior Division is for players born in 2001 or later. The Masters Division is for players born in 2000 or earlier. Note that not all tournaments will offer support for two age divisions. Players can qualify for the Pokkén Tournament World Championships either by finishing well in a series event, by accumulating enough Championship Points, or by participating in the Last Chance Qualifier at the Pokkén Tournament World Championships.
Pokkén Tournament Championship Series Masters Division competitions are divided into major and minor events. In the Senior Division, all competitions will be equal. Not all events support two age divisions. In events that do not, all ages will compete together.
Masters Division major events feature:
1st and 2nd place finishers earn World Championships invitation and travel award
Top 32 competitors receive Championship Points
Masters Division minor events feature:
1st place finisher earns World Championships invitation and travel award
Top 16 competitors receive Championship Points
Senior Division events feature:
1st and 2nd place finishers earn World Championships invitation and travel award
To make sure there is a robust field of competitors at the World Championships, a Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) event will be held on the Friday of Worlds weekend. Space will be limited. Check back at Pokemon.com/PokkenTournament for more details on the LCQ.

The best thing about this tournament is that the consoles and game will be provided by event host, so there will be no hacking or cheating. Also note that this is the first year of the Pokkén event, and it has a lot of big names supporting hosting its goals. I feel that if this tournament is a success, then we will see more prize money. Also, I might come out of retirement and enter the pro gaming circuit again. Hey, us old folks enjoy a match as well. Good Gaming!
