So considering the relevance to Pokemon Leagues and VGC through Play! Pokemon, this seemed like the best place to put this.
What is a Pokemon League?
Pokemon leagues are these awesome semi-sponsored get togethers between Pokemon fans, usually occurring every week. They can occur in any kind of space, and are usually very nice environments. Leagues usually specify if they are Trading Card Game centric, Video Game centric, or both, but I can almost guarentee you you can go there and find people interested in both. What's more is that it's very, very easy to get wrapped into the opposite side of things and find a second Pokemon centric hobby.
Meetings are usually fairly relaxed, even during scheduled tournaments. Honestly, a lot of it is shooting the breeze about Pokemon for however long, then getting into matches with the video games or card games. League has Pokemon fans of all ages too, from Elementary School Juniors, to Pre-teen and early tean Seniors, to late teen and older Masters, meaning you'll be able find someone to have fun with. There's also some cool merchandise like specially marked Trading Cards, key chains, and actual physical gym badges to win!
Where can I find my closest League?
Use the hyperlink in the above title and it'll take you to Pokemon's search engine for events. Just remember to specify that you're looking for leagues over premier events and such.
I've just recently started visiting my local league (if you live in the metro Atlanta area, you can say hi to me and others at this league!) and it's an absolute blast. I highly, highly recommend it to any Pokemon fan to try going to your closest league at least once. This thread is for general discussion about experiences you've had at league, questions or concerns about the program, or just to promote your own league. This stuff is really too much fun and I'd love to see it get more discussion!
