The Pokémon Company International just announced European dates and details for the upcoming Pokémon Video Game National Championships, starting next year.


From 3rd March to 1st April 2012, Pokémon Black & White players can step up to the challenge in one of five European cities:

Saturday 3rd March — UK, Birmingham, NEC, Hall 11
Saturday 10th March — Germany, Essen, Messe Essen, Halle 1A
Saturday 17th March — France, Paris, Espace Champerret, Hall C
