o is that what i am known for now on the smogon vgc forums, hmmm i was going more for "master strategist" or "outstanding battler", o well guess with no regional, nationals or worlds titles to my name i will have to wait till next year[unless i win in hawaii...do you believe in miracles?] to achieve those goals.....untill then i guess being known for "photos" will have to do haha, could be way worseNinahiza might be able to go! No need to worry about not knowing what's going on during the VGC now, a lot of photos to show everyone what's going on!
Lol - you could be like me and be known for correcting people who say Nintendo, when it is TPCI that runs the VGC's.o is that what i am known for now on the smogon vgc forums, hmmm i was going more for "master strategist" or "outstanding battler", o well guess with no regional, nationals or worlds titles to my name i will have to wait till next year[unless i win in hawaii...do you believe in miracles?] to achieve those goals.....untill then i guess being known for "photos" will have to do haha, could be way worse

You need to do a bit more research. Either that or you are just pushing my buttons. :-PYes, it's a fully owned subsidiary of Nintendo that runs VGC, not Nintendo.
Cossack, you haven't even won a VGC match, so you have no grounds to talk. At least Zog has 1 win.Well, he and I are both members of Team Mike, so his picking me is natural. Of course, with my luck, we'll have to battle before top 8. I want to avoid a "two Mikes enter, only one leaves" situation though.
also: remember not to lose to un-EV'd teams.
The Pokemon Company International (TPCI) has two branches now. One is in Japan and the other is based in the USA. TPCI itself is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nintendo. Just because the USA branch overseas the USA and UK does not mean it is a subsidiary of Japan's branch. Yes, they defer to Japan and Japan might be higher up the food chain, but in terms of Economics and Commerce TPCI is a subsidiary of Nintendo. Calling TPCI "Nintendo" might be innaccurate, and no one is denying that Liesek's team is running things, but Nintendo does own Pokemon.You need to do a bit more research. Either that or you are just pushing my buttons. :-P
In 2006 Pokemon USA (When Pokemon USA and Pokemon UK merged, they changed to TPCI) became it's own company. TPCI is in charge of everything from event organization to distribution of the Pokemon brand. TPCI does not do the distribution of video games, but in in charge of their tournament play.
TPCI is a subsidiary of POJ, not Nintendo.
I would think it is one of two reasons:Cossack, you haven't even won a VGC match, so you have no grounds to talk. At least Zog has 1 win.
Edit: Ultimatedra, why did Nintendo pick Hawaii as the location for Worlds? Did Nintendo really want not many people to show up? Does Nintendo even think about the player base when holding these tournaments?
skarm already corrected you, but I just want to repeat that this isn't entirely correct. You also failed to note that even if TPCI was a subsidiary of Pokemon of Japan, Pokemon Japan would still have been owned by Nintendo. There's a reason Nintendo includes their TPCI assets in their annual reports. They are the top level. It's more precise to call them TPC or TPCI but it's still not wrong to call them Nintendo and going off on anyone for it is really just nitpicking.You need to do a bit more research. Either that or you are just pushing my buttons. :-P

2006 Journey Across America was PUI's (Now TPCI) first attempt at video game tournament play. 2007 passed without a peep. 2008 Had their second attempt at it with the 2008 Video Game Showdown with an astounding success. 2009 TPCI formed the Video Game Event team to prepare for the future of Video Game tournaments, as well as the 2009 Video Game Championships. The trend continues today with the pokemon Video Game Championship in 2010.
Here is a post from Mike liesik saying that TPCI has it's own dedicated Video Game Event team as of 2009.

Any other questions?
The fuck is up with you always tryna police shit?Thank you to all who have done research on this pointless matter. I now have a conversation starter at dinner parties "Did you know that TPCI is owned by Nintendo and therefore can be called Nintendo? There have been extensive studies and research on this topic." I will be the hit of the party or where ever I might tell this story.
Werecario is law.The fuck is up with you always tryna police shit?
HawaiiAnyone got any suggestions for relatively cheap accommodation that's going to be close to the LCQ?
From what I looked at, the King Kamehameha hotel looked good and cheap but I think it's a fair distance away. I managed to get booked into the Hilton itself but it was expensive.Anyone got any suggestions for relatively cheap accommodation that's going to be close to the LCQ?
