The Ultimate Pokemon Showdown of Ultimate Destiny

Before you get to Orlando for Video Armageddon the finals, you must first qualify at a tournament in LA or New York City. And before you can get there, you have to pass a Pokémon Video Game Showdown quiz on the official website.
To keep it from really being you vs. a bunch of kids, there are two age categories: one for people born in 1996 or later, and one for people born in 1995 or earlier. So you'd end up competing with -- oh, a bunch of 13-year-olds. There's no way to avoid it; if you want to be a Pokémon Master, you're going to have to make some kids cry.

Maybe it's them being a Japanese company and all, but they really don't have a perception of how wide America is...

Does it feature a Pikachu ascending from the heavens to snap Charizards neck off with a scissor kick?

I'm not sure, but it most definitely features Hot Wailord on Skitty action!

I dunno about the hot Wailord on Skitty action...but if I somehow manage to get entered...there's going to be a long history of Luxray inbreeding...ehehehe...

Perfect article title! As I was scrolling through my RSS feeds, I had Lemon Demon's "Kitten is Angry" song going through my mind. And all day yesterday I had "Ode to Crayola" in my mind. Looks like today it will be "Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny"

I think it would be "descending" from heaven.
Maybe it would just be a thunderbold descending from heaven, making Charizard's neck snap from the involuntary muscle spasms.
But that's not as fun because it doesn't follow the lyrics very well.

That was supposed to be a reply to Jhongerkong.
Deozaan @ May 19th 2008 7:57PM
And that was supposed to be a reply to the reply to Jhongerkong.
And most likely this one was supposed to be a reply to that one. etc. etc. etc.

That was awesome XD I was afraid the quiz was going to be something stupid like "what pokemon did Ash catch in johto" or whatnot. Completely game-related questions, battle strategy! Awesome :D I wanna take another quiz >>
