Pokemon U.S. National Championships is coming to Columbus, OH.

Over the past few years we've seen a few MLG events come to the Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, OH. that showcased some of the best players in Halo, Starcraft 2, and other PC and console games.  This year we can add Pokemon to that list as the Pokemon United States Championships is coming to the Buckeye State.

From July 1st through July 3rd some of the best Pokemon video game and TCG players in the country will battle it out to earn Championship Points that are required to receive an invitation to the Pokemon World Championships in San Francisco, CA. in August.  The Pokemon World Championships will also feature a Pokken Tournament competition.

I'll be keeping an eye out for more info and hopefully I'm going to try and attend the Championships as a spectator and if I do, I'll be sure to post some updates.
