As always, we will be running our normal Pokemon League almost every Saturday for the next three months. We now have a League Challenge event once per month where players can earn much needed Championship Points to help them on their quest to play in the Pokemon World Championships in August. League Challenges will be $5-6 depending on division while the general Pokemon League on Saturday’s is free to attend and play.
Come April 9th, we will also be hosting the largest Pokemon TCG event in the state starting at 10 AM when the Virginia Pokemon State Championship comes to The Fantastic Store. We are expecting upwards of 150 players in a fun-filled day of battles and fierce competition as we crown champions across all three division for the state of Virginia. There will be tons of prizes, raffles, and giveaways including an exclusive giveaway which is only being offered to players who preregister for the event.
