For those of you who wanted to take part in the recent Pokémon tournament but weren’t able to, you may be in luck, as Nintendo UK has announced that an extra tournament will be taking place at this year’s EGX Rezzed in Birmingham, England. This tournament will decide the UK’s best Pokémon trainer, and the winner’s prize is a trip to Japan and a ticket to the Video Game Championships event later on this year.
