Banner advertising tournament Pokecharms.com today announced a UK Pokémon Tournament to take place in Manchester this summer.
The tournament will be hosted by the retailer HMV's Gamerbase and is being organised by Pokecharms. No firm dates have been set yet, but a time frame of around Pokémon Platinum's UK release between the end of May and start of June has been determined pending feedback from those who are interested in taking part. UK gamers can register their interest and ideal weekend within the time frame on the site's [forums].
This first event will take place in the Manchester Gamerbase, but the possibility of a London event later in the year has also been mentioned.
Prizes include a copy of the new Pokémon Platinum game for the Tournament's winner, Pokémon that have been specially bred and contributed by Pokecharms members as well as a selection of in-game items. Other prizes have not been confirmed, but there are plans for all participants to receive a prize of some sort for taking part.
Costs of the event have not yet been confirmed, meaning that there may be a small fee of possibly £3 for entering the competition, but only if necessary.
The competition is open to all UK Pokémon players, requires each player to bring their own Nintendo DS and copy of Pokémon Pokémon Diamond or Pokémon Pearl and is planned to have upwards of 24 participants on the day.
