Remember my blog post "Why the Autumn Wi-Fi Friendly Is a Load of Balls"? Yeah, that's why I'm not going to bother entering.

^^I hear ya @Joshawott!
Edit to user:I read your blog....They made wi-fi battles sooooo screwd up..."Random Battle"...come on! You might meet some one on wi-fi that only cares about EV and that other stuff and you care about only how you like to battle and they whipe the snot out of you....Now if on wi-fi battles if you could select "Same as me"......After my 20th loss on wi-fi in a row,I just about had it on battles and I then became a Pokemon collector instead...

Never entered,allways suck at Pokemon battles,never cared...

Unless they fix the disconnection issue, they can honestely kiss my a$$ with all their upcoming tournaments.

Let me guess.... Thundurus was it?

Still, a international tournament sounds huge. I would love it if TPCi would upload all these battles onto YouTube or something so we can watch it.

I might join this tournament if my Wi-Fi doesn't screw up like last time. Anyways I can't wait for the tournament.

Nope. It was the amount of DCers.

Oh boo hoo about the Drop Connectors.

The Autumn Friendly was loads of fun, and this will be good training for the Spring VGCs in Philly.

Omg this sounds totally awesome!

As long as the disconnection issue is addressed, I will enjoy this immensely. If it isn't addressed...I'll be disappointed, but I'll still participate.

Anyone agree with me in that this is a way for them to keep us 'entertained' while they wait to reveal Pokemon Grey and Kyurem's alternate form?

No. The 2012 International Challenge is a standalone event with no correlation to Grey or Kyurem's alternate form at all. Besides, it's international. Only Japan is legally finding out about this stuff, so TPC wouldn't care about a bunch of westerners who would have to wait for Grey to be released internationally anyway.
