Nintendo has announced Pokkén Tournament Early Access Competitions that are being hosted by Nintendo at select GameStop locations across the United States on Saturday, February 27th, 2016. Below is the press release with full details.
REDMOND, Wash., Feb. 18, 2016 – For over a decade, Pokémon video game and Pokémon Trading Card Game players have tirelessly trained and battled in official Pokémon Championship Series events throughout the year for the opportunity to be crowned Pokémon World Champion. Nintendo and The Pokémon Company International announced today that the upcoming Pokkén Tournament game for Wii U will join the Pokémon Championship Series beginning this spring. These tournaments are sanctioned annually by The Pokémon Company International, and this year will culminate with the crowning of the Pokkén Tournament World Champions this August at the 2016 Pokémon World Championships in San Francisco.
One way to prepare for and even gain entry into the official 2016 Pokémon Championship Series, as well as getting the chance to play Pokkén Tournament before it launches on March 18, is attending the Pokkén Tournament Early Access Competitions being hosted by Nintendo at select GameStop locations across the United States on Saturday, Feb. 27. Winners from the regional tournaments will advance to the finals being held at the Nintendo NY store in New York on March 17. The final two winners of the Pokkén Tournament Early Access Competitions will earn travel awards to the 2016 Pokémon US National Championships (July 1-3 in Columbus, Ohio), where they will battle to advance to the 2016 Pokémon World Championships, the premiere Pokémon tournament of the year.
On Feb. 27 from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. local time, GameStop stores in the following cities will host local qualifiers for the Pokkén Tournament Early Access Competition. Registration will begin at each regional location starting at 10 a.m. local time. Players will compete at these regional competitions for a chance to move on to the finals at the Nintendo NY store in New York:
· 2201 Preston Road, Plano, TX
· 1841 Chamblee Tucker Road, Chamblee, GA
· 3972 Barranca Parkway, Irvine, CA
· 8115 S. John Young Parkway, Orlando, FL
· 6451 W. Diversey Ave., Chicago, IL
· 242 Bellevue Square, Bellevue, WA
· 32 E. 14th St. – Union Square, New York, NY
· 3914 Rivermark Plaza, Santa Clara, CA
The Pokkén Tournament Early Access Competitions are open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis, and will be split into two age brackets: players born in 2001 or later and players born in 2000 or earlier. The winner of each age bracket will then be trained by a professional fighting game player during fun training sessions that will be shared on Nintendo social media channels. Once training is complete, the winner from each city and age bracket and a guest will be flown to the Nintendo NY store on March 17 for the Pokkén Tournament Early Access Competition finals, where they will battle against all other local champions. The winners of the Pokkén Tournament Early Access Competition finals will each win a Wii U system, the Pokkén Tournament game and a travel award to Columbus, Ohio, where they will battle at the 2016 Pokémon US National Championships for the chance to advance to the 2016 Pokémon World Championships in San Francisco.
“If you have fighting game skills and love all things Pokémon, but never had a chance to combine the two, the Pokkén Tournament Early Access Competition is your chance to show off your skills,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “You’re only a few battles away from the chance to win an amazing travel award to the largest Pokémon competitive event in the United States!”
“We cannot wait to add Pokkén Tournament to the Pokémon Championship Series,” said J.C. Smith, The Pokémon Company International’s Senior Director of Consumer Marketing. “It’ll be fun watching who’ll quickly master the game, moving on to the Pokémon US National Championships, and ultimately battling Pokkén Tournament players from around the globe at the 2016 Pokémon World Championships.”
Pokkén Tournament launches for Wii U on March 18, and brings high-definition game play and over-the-top action to never-before-seen battles between some of the most recognizable Pokémon characters. People that buy the first production run version of the game will also receive a special Shadow Mewtwo amiibo card, which can be tapped to the Wii U GamePad controller to unlock the Shadow Mewtwo playable character in the game. When customers pre-order and purchase Pokkén Tournament from GameStop, they will receive a double-sided poster featuring art of some of the epic battles in Pokkén Tournament (while supplies last).

The official Pokémon YouTube channel posted two videos discussing the history of Pokémon, one featuring the Pokémon Company President Tsunekazu Ishihara and the other features GAME FREAK's Junichi Masuda.
Tsunekazu Ishihara: For many of you, your relationship with Pokémon has laster 20 years at most. But for me, I have been involved with Pokémon since its development began. My relationship goes back 26 years. It's been a very long time. Back in 1996, when the first Pokémon games - Red and Green - went on sale, I was working hard on the development of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which was to be released in the fall of that year. Assuming the video games sold well, and I always though they would, I wanted players to be able to enjoy the Trading Card Game alongside them, I was really working hard on its development at the time. That really takes me back.
And now, 20 years later, I see people from all around the world having fun playign the video games and the Trading Card Game. Fans really love the games and that makes me extremely happy and proud. I hope to produce more and more fun and exciting products so that players can continue to enjoy Pokémon for the next 10 and beyond! I hope that everyone will look forward to what's to come.
Junichi Masuda: We've made it to the 20th anniversary! Hurray! Good job, Pokémon!
Hi, everyone. I'm Junichi Masuda from GAME FREAK. This year marks the 20th anniversary of Pokémon, and it's thanks to all of your support that we made it this far! I'm so happy.
Development of the original games, Red and Green, took about six years, so I've been working on Pokémon for about 26 years now. In the beginning, I worked asa a programmer, and I composed the music and worked on sound effects. Some of my strongest memories from those days are, and this happened a lot back then, but - I remember my computers always overheating and breaking down on me. I would work hard to fix them, and eventually we managed to complete the first Pokémon games, but I think I went through three or four computers by the end. I sure am glad I fixed those computers back then. If I hadn't, the original Red and Green games might never have come out! That's a scary thought!
These days, computers are a lot more durable, but I have a lot of memories like that from the early days. I could probably talk about them for days. So much went on with the creation of the original games. Of course, developing them was a lot of fun, too. I would sit in front of my computer from morning to night programming the games and coming up with all sorts of ideas. And I never thought I would still be doing it 20 years later!
Developing each game is definitely hard work bit whenever I see the fans enjoying the games, see them smile, and get messages from them, I always get the strong urge to make another game!
So, it's the 20th anniversary this year, but I hope all of you will continue to support Pokémon! Masuda out!
