Today is the start of the Pokémon World Championships in Washington D.C., where the worlds best battlers will fight it out to determine the World Champions of the Junior, Senior, and Masters Divisions.
While we won’t provide full live coverage (just updates along the way!) we’re providing our readers with a stream to watch to keep up-to-date on the latest. Later today we’ll all have an overdue announcement relating to the final round of our Tournament, keep your eyes peeled!










I finally figured out my team for Alpha Sapphire! 😀
-Swampert (tribute to the actual starter i chose in Sapphire)
-Shiny Lopunny (b/c its a shiny, has a cool mega [imo], etc. May switch out for Breloom if we can’t trade early in the game with X/Y)
-Swellow
-Aggron
-Gardevoir
-Cacturne
2/3 of them can Mega evolve 😛
I’m using my original Emerald team in ORAS and coincidentally, 4 can Mega Evolve ._. Swampert, Gardevoir, Manectric, Torkoal, Breloom, and Altaria 😀
cool 😀
nice one even tho im going with the flow i figured out a team id like in OR ( AS is my treecko one)
Swampert
Metagross
Froslass
Cradily
salamence or pelliper at first
idk yet
I was gonna use a Froslass, but I didn’t know how late we would get a Dawn Stone ;~;
then for AS, itll be
Sceptile
Metagross
Walrien
Armaldo
idk
idk
Sweet! I’m just waiting for the PokeDex because as you know! The Hoenn Dex is going to be expanded!
My team so far for Alpha Sapphire:
-Sceptile
-Altaria
-Sharpedo (I hope it Mega Evolves! If it does, full body shark please!)
-Medicham
-Aggron
Any suggestions are appreciated for a 6th Pokemon! 🙂
My X team only had 5 Pokemon because I couldn’t find a 6th Pokemon that would make the team perfectly rounded.
Well the only type your team doesn’t cover is Electric, so you might want to use a Ground type :3
Maybe Camerupt?
I was originally gonna use Manectric and thinking about Camperupt but I don’t really like it that much (in terms of stats). There are better ones out there not in the Hoenn Dex.
So I hope the Hoenn Dex gets expanded! 😀
M. Audino should be a beast in Double Battles, and will likely be used as a support Pokemon but if things begin to get rocky, M. Audino can surprise your foe and release it’s inner demon (A.K.A Mirajane).
Predicted/wanted stats:
HP: 103
Atk: 50 (-10)
Def: 126 (+40)
Sp. Atk: 90 (+30)
Sp. Def: 126 (+40)
Speed: 50
This Pokemon is going to get wreaked by Aegislash! >:D
Dazzling Gleam :3
Mega Slowbro’s backflip tho, can’t wait to use it 😀
What gen does Mega Jordin occur in? Where will we find the Jordinite? D:
The world may never know… *licks lollipop*
My mega Stats for Slowbro
Mega Slowbro
Shell Armor
HP: 95
Atk: 85 (+10)
Def: 150 (+40)
SpA: 140 (+40)
SpD: 100 (+20)
Spe: 20 (-10)
I agree with this
Thanks
Ok these world championship battles are intense
Isn’t Mega Kangaskhan Banned or in Ubers? I’m surprised that dude was using it (PWC).
vgc isnt smogon
smogon has no power on vgc
and mega kanga is loved in vgc XD
The only rules I would follow are official rules made by the inventors of Pokemon themselves, I don’t need no Smogon telling me what to do and not to do XD
Smogon has nothing to do with this lol
Ah. I thought people were following there rules. XD
Smogon = Single Battles with no item clause
VGC = Doubles Battles 4 vs 4 with item Clause
Hey hey hey, I’ve actually heard of Alex.xD
Predicted that Mega and Spore.
Why did he use thunderbolt on Garchomp?
After doing some calcs, and assuming the max possible damage that charizard X did on Mega Slowbro, I estimate his Def stat to be around 160
i wish it got Unaware now
I wish it got Simple
Or any ability that’s actually useful
Well the EVs are random so it won’t be guaranteed that that was the max it could do. But I have calculated that every Mega shown has 100 EVs in HP XD
I never said I guaranteed it. I said I estimated it.
My mistake, sorry >.<
the groose is loose ;~;
For Generation 7, they should update the battlefield for Wi-Fi battles and such. They should also have special fields that effect different types in a positive or negative way such as: Forest, heals Grass-type Pokemon but damages none Grass-types.
That would be sweet. The Terrain Moves take care of that!
sandstorm terrain 😉 (whoever gets the reference)
whats its called?
its not a song
i still dont know whats it called tho
its poke magician
Even without the use of the Terrain Moves. The Terrain Moves should also receive an update! That would really enhance the play and also give an in depth insight into TrollFreak’s abilities. 😀
Ludicolo is just mocking him xD
Ludicolo: HAHAHA, how’d you like that now?! *dances*
How did you know? XD
Hey why does the Wifi battle background look different?
I believe it’s special for the tournament!
Love watching this! It’s so much fun! 😀
Ray Sooo lost
The hax was not on his side XD
Poor Ray. Frozen Zapdos. :<
Watching this makes me wanna play VGC
Same, I feel like I would either NOT win any battles or win one and lose all the others xD
Story of my life guy hahaha
Watching this makes me want to play Battle Spot with my non-competitive X team even though it sucks. Lol.
@Afarr:disqus. I can battle you now. :3
I still don’t understand MLG though. You told me what it stood for, but I still don’t get it. XD
Alright! XD It was a joke that Djja told me about! XD
What Lobby are you in?
The main lobby on the Home Page.
If only we could have like a Twitch TV channel. 😮
Just cause G4 screwed us over with their constant replaying of Cops and eventually becoming “Esquire”
Since Regi said maybe 160
HP: 95
Atk: 75
Def: 160 (+50)
SpA: 140 (+40)
SpD: 100 (+20)
Spe: 20 (-10)
Seems likely to me. Not sure though if speed will drop. But hey more spdef is always nice. xD
Yea
Its not like it outspends anything anyway
That Freeze tho.
During the Symphony, the screen says, “721 Pokemon” while the current official dex only goes up to 719. 😀
no there is 721 pokemon
719 is with only diancie
volcanion and hoopa makes it 721
Darude makes it 722.
I know. However, the OFFICIAL dex only goes up to 719 AS OF NOW. Volcanion and Hoopa have not been officially revealed, thus, the “721 Pokemon” is a confirmation of Volcanion and Hoopa and hopefully, they’ll be officially revealed soon.
obviously we already knew that since they are in the coding
But they haven’t been officially revealed which makes the comment fruitless.
XD
I get what are saying Celestial
so do i but his comment isnt mean nothing either but whatever ill let him think what he wants while mine is “fruitless” to him
dude if its in coding its officially revealed since we know its bound to happen since the dex goes up to 721 kinda
you over thinking
but the official dex is 721
I mean, they’ve gotta be revealed at some point. They can’t just jump into Gen 7 with a gap between 719 and 722 xD
the official dex IS 721 like if we put oopa in my game i would have seen the 720th pokemon
But have they been officially revealed… no!
and? that means nothing
Which means the OFFICIAL pokedex right now is 719
If you go ask Masuda how many pokemon are in the pokedex right now he would say 719
im stop this arguement cause its going no where
we dont need this
Celestial but the Official dex is 721 is not Unofficial if pokemon aren’t reveled
its like zoroark in gen 4 movie he wasn’t dex because its gen 5 he wouldn’t officially in national dex
… Do you not get the comment? *sigh*
dude game is programmed to go up
to 721 its just 720 and 721 are officially released yet
*aren’t
thank you skiddo
you make no sense
sorry
What he is saying is that Hoopa and Volcanion have not officially been revealed….so the official dex at the moment goes up to 719.
Of course we know they exist due to hacking, but in an ideal world we shouldn’t
Thank you Chaos! Thank you for having the much needed comprehension skills to effortlessly comprehend the comment above!
i knew that but they acknowledged that we hacked them
gamefreak knows what we are doing
why else dont we have hoopa and volcanion on the powersave and why diancie once got deleted? hmmm
Wow that turned out bad
It’s fine, lol!
shit are this AKG’s?
Naw they aren’t 🙁 just some generic headphones
oh hi der everyone 😀
Hi hi
That was fun! The hax I swear. I forgot to save the battle though. :'( Sorry.
Who did you battle?
Afarr
On X and Y?
Showdown.
It’s fine! The Will-o-Wisp pretty much did it for me! GG tho!
GG. XD
Aw his Mic is off XD
He noticed it and the woman only noticed it after two questions, lol!
I know ;-:
But what a n inside look xD
