Results of Pokemon VGC: Newark

Well, I lost.No surprise there because this is my first year with a Pokemon game and obviously my first year in the tournament. I did succeed in winning one battle though, and you can see it by going to the battle video section of the GTS and typing in the Battle Video Code: 73-98756-27675. I will start posting my videos whenever I go to an event or if I have a really good battle I want to show everyone. My first challenger was really no challenge (you'll see why in the battle video), mainly because he was a lot younger than me. My second challenger, (the one who knocked me out of the tournament)was really good. He had a Giratina (Same as me), a shiny Tyranitar (I was impressed at that), a Rayquaza (which I knocked out in one hit) and an other Pokemon that I forget. He beat me with Girtatina as my last Pokemon and knocked him out with dark-type moves.He had two guys, each with less than half HP when he beat me, so he must have really gotten his strategies perfected before he came to Newark. I guess the day wasn't a complete loss, because I did get a shiny Eevee (I'm trying to get it to evolve into an Umbreon) at level 50, and they gave out drawstring bag with Lugia and Ho-oh on it. I'm definitely going back next year(hopefully with Reshiram, the Pokemon you see at the top of the page). Even though the line was stretched out through the parking lot, behind the maintenance entrance, and onto the grass near the highway, and then the line weaved indoors(It took about half-an-hour to get registered from where I was),the line went along really fast and had a few other attractions outside of the line. If anyone else went to Newark, post a comment at the bottom of the page. I would recommend it to all of you next year, but you still have a shot at making it if you live near Indiana or Madrid, Spain. Good Luck to the Qualifiers from NJ!
