Pokémon masters take note: The Pokémon Video Game World Championships are coming to London on May 30... and there's no age limit (that we know of).
The London leg of the important-sounding "EUROPEAN QUALIFIERS" are to be held at The Circus Space in Hoxton.
After London, there are qualifiers in Berlin on June 13 and in Paris on June 20. European winners will go through to the final in San Diego, California to take on the US and Japanese victors, who will blatantly ANNIHILATE you.
Apparently all those successful will walk away with a powerful level 50 Shiny Milotic, and a knock on your pride after your arse is handed to you by a 7-year-old.
Here's the small print, care of ONM:
"If you do want to take part in the qualifiers you should know that entry is limited to 128 players for each age division. If you are born in 1996 or before you'll be placed in the senior competition while those born in 1997 or after will go into the junior tournament. The players will be selected at random from those who register upon arrival. Registration times are from 9:30-10:30 for Seniors and 13:30 to 14:30 for Juniors."
