US Snatches Pokemon World Championship from Japan

[Cherry Cola]

Man, he will be rolling in pussy now.

That's a badass feat.

"So what have you done in life?"

"Well, I won a minor league soccer championship when I was ten years old. You?"

"I defeated Japan in Pokemon"

"NO WAI"

When they take your hotdog eating championship, you take their pokemon championship

YA WAI!!

Nothing gets the pussy to come running like being a world Pokemon champ! Plus, just look at that sexy beast of a man!

How can any bit of pussy deny that? They can't that's how.

The Princess Bride reference made me lol.

But yeah I can see how Pokemon battling tournaments would be pretty cool but it's just not for me.

Go 'Merica!

i thought the U.S. still had the hotdog eating trophy......eh

OT:seems alright congrats to the guy i always wanted to do that when i was little but never had the time or parents willing to drive me to tournements

I don't get all this Pokemon thing. Is it like Magic the Gathering, except with Godzilla baby toys instead of Knights and Wizards?

...People do competitive world Pokemon games...?

...This is a whole new level of sad...

I hope for their sake the game has evolved something since red and blue (which honestly doesn't seem like). Back then it was all about having a level 100, then being the first to play.

It was more complex than you make out even in the first generation, though I think it's evolved slightly more since.

Put it this way: If you went into that tournament with 6 level hundreds and tried to Fire Blast and Hyrdo Pump your way to victory, you would take down one 'mon at the very most. There's actually quite a deep meta-game behind it all.

Perhaps you should do research before going off on something you have no idea about. Even in John's article he hinted at the depth of the games. Why is it sad? When is the last time you went to a world championship, for ANY type of game or sport?

Indeed, the USA has had the championship back for a few years now. [footnote]Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan's_Hot_Dog_Eating_Contest][/footnote] Though I seriously can't imagine eating that many hot dogs in a month, let alone a single sitting.

THE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

And a terrible sequel...

And another sequel...

And a cartoon...

And a bad television series...

And a direct to TV film...

And an anime...

Wait, what were we talking about?

Edit: The pokemon thing... right... umm... congradulations I guess?

Great, you made me snort coke on my keyboard. D:

 

[Marter]

I...don't get it.

Why wouldn't they just use Shoddy Battle, instead of having to fly to a certain location?

Congrats to the winner. I'll be facing you someday! *evil laugh*

 

[John Funk]

I thought this was the games first, not the cards.
Still, pretty sweet.

It was both. The guy won in the videogame tournament.

The card game, yes. The videogames are more an insanely deep turn-based RPG that also happens to be incredibly accessible for children.

[FinalHeart95]

NEW JERSEY! WOOHOO! Now we have guidos, smog, and POKEMON!

Anyway, I never got into the competitive battling. For some reason, grinding out levels is fine for me, but grinding IVs/EVs is absolute torture.
