Article Posted by Tidus: The Pokemon Video Game Championships Return!
Yesterday, Pokemon.com announced that the Pokémon Video Game Championships return in spring 2010 all around the world!
Returning players know most of the rules will be the same as last year but there are some exciting changes.
Here are the changes that have been made:
Players now using Pokémon HeartGold or SoulSilver Versiongames exclusively
Pokémon Level 51 and higher being automatically graded down to Level 50 for the duration of the battle using a new auto-leveling feature
- Each Pokémon keeps all of the moves it knew before being adjusted
- Pokémon that evolve after Level 50 don't devolve
- Any Pokémon below Level 50 will stay at its current level
Virtually every Pokémon found in the National Pokédex of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilverVersions is eligible, including Pokémon traded in from earlier games, with the following exceptions:
- Arceus, Celebi, Darkrai, Deoxys, Jirachi, Manaphy, Mew, Phione, and Shaymin cannot participate
- A team cannot contain more than two of Dialga, Giratina, Groudon, Ho-Oh, Kyogre, Lugia, Mewtwo, Palkia, and Rayquaza during a battle
Stay tuned for more information about the Pokémon Video Game Championships! Also look for more details around March 14th in the US and March 26th in Europe for the release of Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver!

Why is Celebi banned? Ho-oh seems more ban worthy to me.
One day I'll own the FE,

VCG don't really ban on "power" so much as availability.Originally Posted by amh7912
PP rules state that rule enforcement is up to staff and not up for debate. However, I am fine if you PM me asking about an infraction/warning/ban. However, I always fill in the "Message" part of the Infraction form and make it very clear why it was issued. If you PM for clarity, cool. If you PM me complaining about getting an infraction, not cool
And if you'd rather PM me directly instead of the report button, do so. Just make sure to give a direct link to the offending post, and some reasoning as to why it deserves a look-see.
I've already assembled a party that can beat any type for this one. now i just need heartgold to get some of the pokemon.
P:PT:
HG:
Note: parties subject to change. Also, if you want to battle a 100% legit party, try my Platinum (PT) or my HeartGold (HG). If you could give a sh*t about it, then go ahead and challenge me on Pearl (P). If you take any of the above friend codes, I would like a PM with your own FC(s)
y fdo they ban certain pokmon , is it coz they have 2 good stats or somthing?
<------- my 1st pokemon egg, please help me hatch it
Yes, something like that.
Did you guys read what randomspot said? He said they don't ban so much based on power as availability, as in Arceus- event/wifi download, Celebi-bonus disc?/10thANIV?, Darkrai-download, Deoxys-Download?/10th Aniv, Jirachi-Bonus Disc/?, Manaphy-Ranger/download, Mew-download/???, Phione-Manaphy, and Shaymin-download, yes, i missed some, but the basic point is they banned Pokemon that need an external device to obtain.
The restrictions are not based on power actually. Availability. There is one of each legendary in a game, so you get limited to using one legendary.
