Our friends from the Double Dragon Plaza league will be doing their VGC tournament at Caloocan this month with the help of PlayGround Hobby Cafe! Aside from the venue, the rewards for this competition will be a little different as well. A physical copy of Pokemon Let's Go, Pikachu! and a customized shirt will be given to the champion while the runners-up will receive Nintendo eShop credits.
A livestream of the event is also planned for Pokemon Trainers who are unable to attend.
Pilipinas Got Pokemon aim to solidify the competitive Pokemon scene in the Philippines through non-TPC sanctioned tournaments using the official VGC format like this one in the hopes that our country will be included in future TPC events for the video game category.
