Japan's VGC 2011 Rules

The rules for Japan’s Video Game World Qualifier Tournaments have been announced in Black and White’s video game guide. Their qualifier tournaments will begin in March and winners will be able to compete at Worlds 2010 in San Diego for the title of World Champion. Whether or not these rules will apply to America’s qualifier tournaments remains to be seen.

• Only Pokemon from Isshu can be used (excluding Victini, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Keldeo, Meloetta, and Genosect).
  
• Each match is a double battle, though the amount of Pokemon each player will use in a match is not mentioned. It might be bring six Pokemon and use four in each match like in the past.
  
• Pokemon should be Level 50. Pokemon higher than that will be lowered to 50, but Pokemon Level 49 and below will remain the same level.
  
• You can’t use duplicate Pokemon or Items.
  
• You can’t change your Pokemon, Items, etc. during the tournament.

I got my source from Pokebeach.

sounds like fun. i think that's kinda dumb how you cant use Pokemon from other regions. I guess it makes sense in away.

Yeah, it makes sense a bit, but it makes me feel disappointed as well. :/

in the post you have the year 2010, and in the title you have the year 2011...? What year/month is it? I'm confused sorry ^_^;

That was for the Japanese, I'm guessing. I copy + pasted, but I guess winners in Japan would fly to San Diego to compete in the year 2010. I'm guessing, so ya.

so all the battles would have to happen within the next month, since 2011 is coming right up? o3o

copy pasta ftw~

On another note, I wonder why they are making it double battles only?

maybe for the new battle setup in black and white. thats what i think.
