After two straight days of fierce competition, 24 Pokémon trainers have been chosen to represent the United States in the 2011 Pokémon Video Game World Championships. Behold our best hope for 2011 Pokémon domination!
It all went down at the 2011 Pokémon Video Game US National Championships in Indianapolis, Indiana this weekend. The top eight players from each of the three age groups will go on to represent our country in the World Championships. Players like The Zheng Dynasty. Aaron and Brandon Zheng, a brother combo out of New York that placed 1st and 2nd in Juniors and Seniors Divisions. Or Henry Maxon, the undefeated Juniors champion. Such power!
