Now, while the majority of changes to the 2017 Pokemon Video Game Championships have been relatively amazing there is one massive issue that has come out of all of this, that being the fact that Australians and New Zealanders have to fork over at least $700 to even compete in the Nationals (which has been changed to 'Continentals') in Japan. This is a full on outrage. Lately TPCi (The Pokemon Company International) has been trying to promote the esport which is Pokemon and they've been doing an amazing job but all that has changed. Now, while Koreans will also have to travel to Japan to compete they don't have to travel the 7000 odd kilometres that those in AU/NZ do. This is just not right. No way will someone from AU/NZ be happy to fork over $700 + accommodation just to compete. Please, help us change this around so that there is a fair opportunity for all when it comes to the esport of Pokemon VGC, let us allow TPCI to hear our voices. Australia counts as a continent too, so again, please join us in bringing this unfairness to attention!
