Yes! San francisco is only 30 mins away from where I live, and I can finally complete my collection!

 

[TrainerIruka]

HOLY SH*T! One in Seattle! I've gotta go!

;370;

 

[Stardust25]

Meh, this is great news, it is just a shame that Nintendo refuses to come anywhere close to where I live. I am from Akron, Ohio (near Cleveland) so the closest places for me would be either Pittsburgh or Detroit, which are both like a 2-hour drive away from me... yay.

Honestly, I don't know why Cleveland always gets ignored. The only thing that wants to come here are lousy washed up baseball players.

I'm not going to celebrate until they officially announce it on Pokemon.com (which will hopefully be tomorrow, along with the website about the tour)...but I am right near D.C., so I'll definitely be there either way.

I'd love to make it to the NY one as well, mainly because a lot of users I'd love to meet are from there, but that's more of a trip. It's a faint possibility because we may have to go out there to see a doctor...long story...if the insurance will cover it. So I'll beg my Mom to schedule it around the time the tour will be there.

EDIT: Just realized that this is certainly a day for news, isn't it?

 

[~Shining-Metagross~]

I heard about this a couple of days ago. Man, Congrats to the Us. Finally, a chance for you to get it! Although, I don't think anywhere else will be getting it anytime soon =P

 

[Black Marauder]

Seen this already >.< Anyways, NEW YAWK! Yay...

 

[John Ray]

Thats unfair! They never go in EUROPE!

 

[Jetx]

Thats unfair! They never go in EUROPE!

We just have to live with that. they should one day...

 

[Pokemon Trainer Robert]

One near Philli COOL! I am so There, Thank god its 13 and up phew^_^;; 24 combanitents eh..Gonna be one tough tournament to beat since There will be alot of Tough Trainers out there with LV80s-100s.

 

[Syther]

Where they'll be in Michagain it would be only about 10 minuits away by van (more by bike)

just wait untill Daimond and Peral. By then they wont have to visit you you could trade with me on one of my planed Cerebi trade weeks. (planned to happen on a random week of eatch month after getting Diamond or Peral)

 

[Russian May]

You, Americans, are sooooo lucky! I wish there were some events like that in Russia!

 

[YoshiAngemon]

Now there's a worthy reason for me to go there! And should they have plushes of it, I'll go and get one! Same for Ho-Oh, Lugia, and even the other rarities!

 

[Munchlax_21]

You americans are so lucky us australians haven't had a pokemon event since GS came out Oh well, Have faith in your dreams and someday your rainbow will c0me smiling through...

 

[Kyaku]

None of these places are near me. ;_;
Honestly, they should have it in ALL states so you can get Mew,Celebi,Jirachi and Deoxys. That would make it fair.

 

[≈*Virulent Tsunami*≈]

Philly, eh? Sweet Of course, I've got my own Celebi, but I'm 98% sure it's Sharked(it's from a friend). A fully legit one would be ownage =D It's going to take some careful planning to get me there at the right time on the right day, though, but still, it's possible.

I agree... It's too bad they didn't have them in Canada.

 

[DJ Panic!]

to me this is bogus.they should just give it to you with a small fee.but you have to battle for it.i wish they would finally just give it away like Deoxys
>.<

 

[corsolakid]

I'm 2 hours from chicago, why can't they come to green bay? it IS one of the most well known cities in the states. well, i'll try to make it, if not, oh well, i'll deal with it.

>.<

considering the ourtrage for years that only Japan gets Celebi, i'd say this is pretty darn fair.

i can make it to washington D.C. if i'm not anywhere else on July 8th..
