What? No pictures? Bloody hell...

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

Yours truly, Angelic Lapras King, went to the Pokemon Summer Camp event in Brent Cross today. Here's what happened:

Brent Cross. Not the first time I ve been there, as there was a Celebi Download event around 6 years ago. So here I was again then. Same place, same event of sorts, same store (Toys R Us).

Once again, the event was held outside. Last time, theyu had a track with all the stuff and this year they have a big tent for, erm, everything. Wasps were praticely everywhere, not good when you hate em. So anyway, spent most of the time queuing. Took over an hour to get a Mew (I had one already, but what the hey!) and about 30 mins to an hour for a go on Battle Revolution, which by the way is great. Everyone was really into it and was loving it. I won my battle, thanks to my handy Lapras, though people wondered why I chose the female player on my game. o.o

Battles meanwhile went well, 4 victories and 2 loses. Did not meet any PKMN.NETers, but met and battled lots of lovely people. I even battled this girl with her face looking like a Meowth. Mary I think her name was (Well, on her game anyway), but I registered her in my Pal Pad so score! lol.

Costumes, lots of people dressed up (Or cosplaying if you prefer) such as Pikachu and other DP Pokemon I still have not memorised the names of perfectly. Even a couple both dress in Team Aqua and Magma costumes that looked great!

Other things included a goodie bag with sickers, posters etc. and a TV showing the anime. Only early Battle Frontier episodes, so no DP anime just yet (But they did show Wheel of Frontier, so Rex would be happy. Oooish! XD). Very good event that I enjoyed and can't wait till the next! =D

No pictures I m afraid because bring a GBA, a DS and 2 games along you fear you ll get mugged on the way there or back. Instead, I drew the event for your entertainment, so enjoy!

I went to that, I was the guy with the Pokemon Colosseum hat and Turquoise Nintendo All Stars shirt. I got there later on, between two and three PM I think so there weren't as much people there but we waited in line for less than an hour so that was a plus, but we didn't get a chance to play Pokemon Battle Revolution which was disappointing but it wasn't like I wasn't going to get it anyway.

Angelic Lapras King on Tue 28 Aug 2007 15:47:51 UTC.

A goody bag with "sickers" lol. Anyway it sounded like a good event. I couldn't make it to any of them because I was in Turkey... I would have preferred the Old Sea Map to a straight download myself.

kireena.akegata on Thu 30 Aug 2007 21:36:30 UTC.

i agree with total eclipse- what happened to old sea map! Can't believe the number of people who showed up with only pkmn diamond or pearl - which was no good. The goody bags were a cool addition, not seen them at older events. I was there til the end - finished very abruptly. And half the consoles had their games stolen! what's the point in that!! So that kinda sucks! Stupid really because you can only save the game once on their consoles, so there's no point in taking them.
