Vancouver Pokemon Worlds Goodies

Since it was my first time going to a World championship, I didn't exactly know what to expect but hoping I could get some goodies.  I was so scared that I would have to spend more then $300 but thank god, I only spend around $100.  YEY :D.  I was surprised with the prices actually!

As you can see, plushies were $15 or less.  I was so expecting them to be $50+ since I saw in Jwittz's nationals vlog that a plushie was $50.  I was like da heck! But they were cheappp.  The rule at the retail store was that worlds merchandise such as deck box, play mat, binder, etc. was one per person each and the plushies was BUY AS MANY AS YOU WANT!  There was a "lifesize" pikachu, minccino and emolga for $30 which wasn't half bad either but I have no use for plushies. :/.  I really wanted the pouch but they ran out by the time my butt got there.

Pokemon Worlds at Vancouver 2013 Day 2 and X & Y special announcement

The second day I woke up on time! Finally :D.  I was pretty tired from day one since I was lining up most of the time to play in the card game tournament.  Nonetheless, I woke up on time and got onto the skytrain around 8:30 am.  By the time I got there, I found out that they chopped the venue in half.  WHAT THE HECK!  Especially when it is the semi finals and 90% of the people were there to watch the semi-finalist play.  It was so dang crammed....why.

I have to admit, I went on the second day because I wanted to do the side events and get cool stuff again but they didn't exactly have the side event booth and I couldn't even find the little cards.  So I thought they weren't doing them anymore but then later in the day, I would see people holding fresh sheets and I was like what the hey!  I couldn't find any after because they ran out.  WHAT? POOP.  

I did enjoy watching the video game semi finals.  The audience was so excited about everything, even I who didn't know what was happening was cheering like we won the finals in hockey back in the Vancouver winter Olympics :D. Brendan Zheng from the juniors division was amazing! Him against Japan. It was a clean game, he O.K-ed every pokemon that came his way.

 While everyone was still watching the tournaments  I went out to look around and saw people lining up for something.  I wasn't with my boyfriend at the time since he still didn't come from church with his family so I just said what the heck and lined up.  Lucky me, the line up was still pretty short and it grew pretty quickly.  The line up was actually for the autographing sessions going on for the CEO of Pokemon, Tsunekazu Ishihara.  They didn't get through many people, many about 50 since Mr. Ishihara was taking his sweet sweet time LOL.
