The qualifiers for Pokemon VGC are the most important thing to the entire tournament. Pokemon players travel to these locations and compete against other trainers for a free trip to the National competition, plus a champion trophy. In 2008, there were only two stops: one in Los Angeles and the other in New York City. This left a lot of the country wondering why they were not given a stop. In 2009, the number of stops grew to six, with the 2009 season having stop in: Seattle, San Fransisco, Phoenix, Dallas, Nashville, and Philadelphia; Nationals could even be included as stop seven because of the last chance lottery held there. The 2010 season stops haven't been announced yet, but when they are it will be put on this page.
