2025 Baltimore Regional Championships – Victory Road
victoryroadvgc.com
| Placement | Masters | Junior & Senior |
|---|---|---|
| Champion | $6,000 USD | $1,000 USD |
| Finalist | $4,000 USD | $750 USD |
| Semifinalists | $2,000 USD | $500 USD |
| 5th to 8th | $1,000 USD | – |
| 9th to 16th | $750 USD | – |
But, well... It is in Baltimore, Maryland, the United States... (Honestly, I didn't even know/remember there was a state called Maryland until now, & when I found out there was, I didn't believe it.)
However, the Tournament is the first in-person one of the regulation (There will be more online ones, & maybe even already have been.), & its scheduling is:
- Day 1: stream starts on 14 September at 13:15 UTC
- Day 2 + Top Cut: stream starts on 15 September at 14:15 UTC
The start of it is about 1 day & 5 hours & 20 minutes away.
Even if you whip up a team in what is basically 1 day & then make Top 16 or better, you'll probably have spent considerable funds on travel costs.
But hey, if you wanna try, good luck! No offense meant.
Also, IDK if this is accurate, but the VGCVictory Road website says:
Sign-up instructions

Psychic Power is officially done; last call to add anything, remove anything, or change any wording before I have the VSBW moderators look at it.

- Astral Projection: Sabrina heavily implies you can leave your own body just by honing your psychic ability
"Sabrina claims she can absorb peoples’ life force, though she was in character as Bellelba"
When was this?
Otherwise, looks fine.

Oh, I meant to get that source, thank you.
Pokemon Masters, but VSBW didn't let me upload it with the source I pulled it from.

That theory is for all of them, not just one or a few.

Pokemon is trying to sue Pal World over patents, which is... patently absurd, due to how vague many of their patents are. If this succeeds, it could set problematic precedents in the gaming industry.
I'm hoping that Pokemon gets some substantial opposition for this & they lose here.

Set a problematic precedent?
Unfortunately I think we're already there. A number of patents have already been enforced in the past to force lisences or go after companies that have violated them.
I don't think Nintendo will lose this at this point, and I'm not sure where we'd even start undoing the damage patents have already done to the gaming industry...

Embittering. Hopefully something like a petition or something can help.

Infinitely more effort than Gen 7 onwards.
