POKÈMON BATTLE CHALLENGE

Test your skills against other Trainers in our video game challenges!

The Pokémon Battle Challenge will see Trainers battle it out 1-on-1 using their own Pokémon Diamond or Pokémon Pearl game.

REGISTER EARLY ON TOUR DAYS AS PLACES ARE LIMITED.

In order to qualify for the Pokémon Battle Challenge you must bring your copy of either Pokémon Diamond or Pokémon Pearl.

Your game must fulfill the following criteria:

* Game must be saved at a PokéCentre of any Town
* Must have at least 3 Pokémon in your team
* Pokémon within saved team cannot be greater than Level 50
* No more than one of the same Pokémon is allowed on a team
* No profanities allowed as names, if any offensive words are found on your game you may be disqualified

The battle will take place in Single Battle, Standard Cup. Standard Cup rules apply. No Special Pokémon allowed. Special Pokémon include: Celebi, Deoxys, Diagla, Groudon, Jirachi, Kyogre, Ho-Oh, Lugia, Manaphy, Mewtwo, Mew, Palkia and Rayquaza.

Each battle will go for a maximum of 10 minutes.

If your game does not adhere to the above criteria, you unfortunately may forfeit your place in the Battle.

More Fun
Each event will become a Pokémon fan's paradise with interactive game play stations showing off the brand new games, as well as other brand new Nintendo DS games. Plus there will be a Pokémon Trading Card Game play area, and a special Touch Generations area - for everyone to enjoy.

Brush up on your Pokémon knowledge, as Pokémon Trivia will be happening during the Events. There will be heaps of giveaways as well!

Don't forget to bring your Nintendo DS and multiplayer Nintendo DS games (such as Animal Crossing, Nintendogs, Diddy Kong Racing DS) to play multiplayer games with other fans.

Nice.

I've been tossing up whether to go or not since I won't have the game, but maybe I will, and if I do, I'll drop in and say hi! I could most likely make it on Monday. The connection tours are usually fun, the two I went to last year were great. Anyone else from Vic interested in going?

DarkYoshii

I'll be at the weekend ones for sure, and definetly during my break I'll be down there. That said, wonder how much break time I could get..Hehehe.

i cant wait to be there but.... i don't know where hurtsville and chatswood is really far away (i live near bondi beach so its the other side of chatswood

) BUT I WILL GO THERE AND WIN

NovaPhoenix

Not allowing Pokemon whose levels exceed 50 sucks! ut if such Pokemon had their level reduced to 50 by the rules, then that would be okay. But that isn't the case with this, is it?

Qbert

NovaPhoenix

I'd like to know something, if anyone knows.

Will Pokemon who are greater than level 50 be automatically banned, or will they have their level reduced to 50?

To clear this up once and for all, the event is free (as they always have been and will hopefully remain).

Apparently according to Serebii.net, you can get Darkrai, Shaymin and Arceus from events: http://www.serebii.net/games/events.shtml

Quote

Once you obtain the item Members Pass at a Nintendo event, Go to Canalave City and you will be able to access the Motel which has previously been locked. Go there for a night's sleep and you will be disturbed by Darkrai in your sleep. When you wake up, a Diary will be there which contains Darkrai's location. Go to the Sailor at the bottom of the city and he will take you there.

When you get to the island, you can go up and battle Darkrai. It is at Lv. 40

After you go to the Nintendo Event that is giving away Shaymin, you will receive the item called: Oak's Letter. With this item in your bag, go to the White Rock in Route 224. You will notice that the Route has been extended. Now as an extra long route, the Flower Elysium, all the way to the top right of the map, you must travel it all the way.

At the end, in a flower filled field, you will find Shaymin awaiting you. It is at Lv. 30

Once you go to the Nintendo Event, you will receive the item called: Azure Flute. With this item in your bag, go to the Spear Pillar in Mt Coronet where you battled Dialga or Palkia. Go to the symbol between the pillars and use the Azure Flute. Some stairs will appear that will go up to the Hall of Origin. Here Arceus resides.

Be warned as it is the highest level Wild Pokémon at Lv. 80 so be prepared

Does anyone have confirmation that you can receive: Members Pass, Oak's Letter and Azure Flute from the DS Connection Tour '07?
