Southeast Asia will finally have its first ever Pokémon Video Game National Championships, held right in the heart of Singapore. The event was officially announced recently and will take place over the weekend of June 27th and 28th, 2015 at ITE Central in Ang Mo Kio inside the Campus Game Fest hosted by the Singapore Cybersports and Online Gaming Association (SCOGA). Massive Championship Points (CP) for the worldwide Pokémon Video Game Championship (VGC) series will be awarded at this event.

Date: 27-28 June 2015 (Sat-Sun), registration opens at 10 am
Location: ITE College Central, 2 Ang Mo Kio Drive, Campus Game Fest, Singapore
Entry Fee: $8
There will be a discounted entry fee of $7 for players who pre-register early!
This is the first untethered Pokemon VG National Championship event. There are no restrictions of the region of the consoles. However, only players who have a TPCi Pokemon Trainer Club Account in proper standing are eligible to register for the events.
This will be the second Pokemon VG National Championship event held in the Asia Pacific rating zone. Like the Australia National Championships, the Swiss rounds here will also be played as best of three sets. With the first place award of 600 CP and hundreds of CP for the other top placings, this event will greatly boost the chances of rising to the top of the CP rankings in the Asia Pacific rating zone for players who win them. It will play a large part in players looking to earn an invitation and maybe even a travel award to the 2015 Pokémon World Championships in Boston, MA, USA happening from August 21st to 23rd, 2015.
