2013 Winter Friendly: Rotation Battles (Registration Open)
We looked on with envy as Japan had event after event featuring unique rulesets and now we’ll finally get our chance to play in one as well. The first WiFi tournament of the year not a part of the Video Game Championship Series — and without Championship Points at stake — will start on February 15th and use the Rotation format. Not only that, but there will be no Pokémon restrictions aside from Chatot. That’s right, you can use those Kyogres and Mewtwos you’ve had stored away since 2010 and even that Mew and Victini you’ve been dying to use for something. What ideas do you have for this metagame? Let us know in the comments thread!
