The Pokemon tournament is less than two weeks away! All gimmick battles that require pre-built teams have officially been announced. Keep in mind there will be a few other gimmick battles, however, they will require no preparation beforehand and only involve pokemon you'll already have ready.

On Saturday, July 27th, the first Bracket Battle will occur! This will be a single battle using up to six pokemon. You may use any six pokemon you wish, except for legendaries. The first matchup in the bracket will be as follows:

GOLDY vs PIXEL

GOTH vs CORE

SHINY vs JS

SCUBA vs TDR

The following day will be the Gym Leader Gimmick Battle. Keep your ears peeled for further announcements regarding that.

KEEP IN MIND, even if you lose the first round of Bracket Battles, you could still win! Points, awarded by both Bracket and Gimmick battles, are what really count!

Update: The winner(s) of both the Bracket Battles and the highest scoring entrant will each recieve a FREE keychain charm stylized after whichever pokemon they personally deem their MVP of their team(s). If the winner is uncomfortable telling me, your old pal AgentGoldfish, their mailing address, they can opt to have their trainer and their full team drawn digitally, fully-colored instead. This prize is a bonus in addition to the Regigigas/Shiny Suicune announced earlier.
