I have a quick question. Can I register for the Rossevelt Field Mall One also in case by any chance I can't show up for the NYC one?

I have a quick question. Can I register for the Rossevelt Field Mall One also in case by any chance I can't show up for the NYC one?

I believe you can, yes.

[apmastersite]

does everybody get celebi though??

[Scorpion1386]

does everybody get celebi though??

Yeah you can get Celebi. One per cartridge I believe though.

Which NY venue did you qualify at?

[Roxas_Elric]

To those who have already played in the torurnament, they allow the use of all ubers?

[Expert Evan]

From what I understand, yes.

It looks like I'll be going to the one in Boston even though I'm a qualified alternative there while am a qualified participant for the one in Long Island the following week as well. I'd rather get the celebi in all my games along with the rarest pokemon from the top 20 at least. Does anybody know if the top 20 pokemon are given selectively or random? my first choice if I had one would either be suicune, latios or latias.

[Pokemaniac77]

could somebody post a list of the top twenty?

[amulekbird]

EE: NO!!! They don't allow use of all pokemon. You can use any pokes except Jirachi, Deoxys, Mew and Celebi. (So, you can use MOST ubers).

Also, you get to chose which of the Top 20 you want...they aren't randomly chosen.

[Expert Evan]

Here are the top 20:

Bulbasaur
Charizard
Blastoise
Pikachu
Alakazam
Articuno
Zapdos
Moltres
Dragonite
Typhlosion
Espeon
Umbreon
Raikou
Entei
Suicune
Tyranitar
Blaziken
Absol
Latias
Latios

I wonder how many from them I can choose at least. Among the ubers I am considering are mewtwo, kyogre & groudon.

[Pokemaniac77]

thanks, but do you also have a list of the uber pokemon you can choose?

[Levski]

You CANNOT use: Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys and Wobb @ Leftovers.

[Roxas_Elric]

what's that and Wobb @ leftovers?

[Akayfortyseven]

I would probably use shell bell as an alternative to leftovers then... if i could go >_<

[Pokemaniac77]

but with shell bell you have to do damage. thats really hard considering wobb only gets 4 moves unless bred. Even then im not sure if it gets attacks.

[Roxas_Elric]

what you are telling me is that I cannot use a wobbuffet and also no pokemon with leftovers attached?

[Trace360]

He said you can't use Wobbuffet with leftovers, but you can put on another Pokemon.

[Levski]

You can use a Wobbufet, but only if it isn't holding Leftovers.

[Pikachu]

Ill be going to both Long Island AND NYC.

[Xeroxes]

I'm very excited about this! I'm going to the Washington D.C. one though the mall is really in Maryland. (I think) It's only a 12 minute drive from my apartment!
