    A final rating of 1742 landing me 26th in the U.S. and 125th overall. Better than I expected to be honest. Though if I had quit before losing those three battles towards the end…

  2. Okay, so somehow I either messed up, or Pokemon messed me up or something.  I dont know what it is that happened but I dont seem to be on the rankings.  If anyone knows anything about ways I could have gotten DQed, or somebody I could possibly contact to figure out my situation it would be much appreciated.  I have absolutely no idea what happened, and even in game I am still registered in the competition.  Ranking probably ended between 1730-1750, and the you never know when the CP may help, so I would like to find a solution ASAP.  Thanks!

    1st in North America and 3rd in the world. Not to bad.

  4. Shaman says:

    im not from NA but i set my region to canada so i could use the eshop.
     
    anyone know if i will get CP and if they will be useful? 
     
    I’m from singapore where they dont have any invites :P

  5. Advancer says:

    I havent got as much info of the teams as last time but i have enough to worth publishing on here. I have omitted the NA/EU players’ teams for obvious reasons. I dont have data on alot of the top 20 (which are the main players to collect) so if anyone has that information can they please share it.

     
    Hi Melevin, I can report that Sejun’s full team was: Zapdos, Ludicolo (w/ Sitrus), Garchomp, Mega Mawile, Politoed (w/ Scarf?), Tyranitar. I battled him on the second day in the 1600s.

    Don’t they go by where your Play!Pokemon account is from?

  7. Lejn says:

    I think Drug Duck had the same lineup as me so it was awesome see it do so well at the hands of such a great player. :D

    Playing 19 games was enough to get 7th in Australia, alrightyyyyy

  8. Advancer says:

    Glad to hear you got some good games in, Lejn.

    Also grats to Bargens who came 2nd in Aussie Juniors and 43rd overall. Good work all around, guys.

    We have been fooled. There can only be one #1 Canadian in these, of course the “new one” had to be a fake.

    To answer a part of your question, they wouldn’t be useful.

    well.. i’m sorry.. i had to use their eshop.. hehe

    Echoing this, our local distributor needs to get off their ass and actually maintain our eshop properly.

    Sorry to NA and Canada for stealing spots and CP.

  12. As long as you aren’t opted into the rankings, I believe you don’t actually take up a place in terms of CP.

    I found my fight with nanaka: I do not remember the other 2 pokes 
    Kangaskan-Politoed-Ludicolo-Talonflme

    1008th worldwide, 270 in the US.

    Kind of underwhelming but whatever.

  15. Bort says:

    This was my first ever online tournament. I came 5170th pml! One loss was because my cat wanted feeding and I forgot to turn off my 3DS. When I came back, my poor Garchomp was standing on the battlefield by itself lol!

    bidoof! It really sucks having to work on Friday and Saturday and not having enough energy to play on Sunday as a result.

    Ended up 11th in the Netherlands and our top guy only had a 1625 rating O.O Just like the last time we have really low scores and only 50+ players participating… are we that bad or do we just don’t care enough? Personal goal was to get around the same score as last time with only half as much matches played which I did and the opponents were far stronger this time so mission accomplished. Next goal: reach 1650 and above to get 1st place in the Netherlands!!!

    PS

    Odd that Cj is only 24th place in the Netherlands since he’s the only one of us who reached Top Cut in the German National :huh: And Lolnub is 26th place with a 1497 score, WHAT THE HECK?!!! Okay! Now I’m seriously starting to think we aren’t taking this as seriously as we should…

    There really isnt much of a dutch competitive community to begin with, so I’m not that surprised really. I ended up being 5th in the Netherlands, I didn’t play that much and the second day kinda got me with bad decisionmaking from myself. No matter though, guess I’ll just have to make up for that during the washington lcq 😛

    I was number 6 in the Netherlands, and freshly member of this site, got a higher score then the may challenge, and willing to get better at VGC (by nuggetbrigde of course) and going for the number 1 spot in the Netherlands to begin with.

    Does anyone know when the CP for Europe will be added to accounts? Just waiting to see if my son got any as he’s currently sitting 18th in Juniors.

    The timing isn’t really consistent. I would say no earlier than next Monday since AlphaZealot will be tied up with US Nats work during the weekend.

    Ok cool, will just keep checking ;)

    Well for those hoping to climb the hill (or somewhere on top the hill), it’d certainly be helpful to have all results info before U.S. Nationals. It’s always nice to be aware of your situation before entering the final showdown.  I don’t imagine the knowledge will change the strategy.  Just makes for more excitement, and less potential disappointment, when the needs are clear and not dependent on who might or might not have picked up CP at a late Premier Challenge or in the June International Challenge.  Not trying to be pushy or anything, but the expectation of having fully updated rankings is fair.  I would think that’s the goal of the hard-working staff (like AZ), too.  Perhaps easier said than done, though.   ;)
