Review Fix Editor-In-Chief Patrick Hickey Jr. breaks down the reasons why this month’s tournament at Brooklyn Video Games, the first ever Pokemon Retro Cup, was created and well as discussing how it’ll be different from many Pokemon tournaments hosted at other stores.
INFO:
On Friday, November 11, 2016, the next adventure in the beloved Pokemon series, Sun/Moon will be released.
To celebrate the 20-year-legacy of the series, ReviewFix.com, alongside Brooklyn Video Games, the best retro video game store in the 718 at 6801 20th Ave in Brooklyn, New York, will present a Pokemon Red/Blue and Yellow tournament on the original Nintendo Game Boy family of consoles on Nov 11, 2016.
Don’t have an original Game Boy or the original Pokemon games? Well, guess what? Brooklyn Video Games does! With almost two months to train, there’s no reason why you can’t start a brand new Pokemon journey and fight against some of the most experienced trainers in the borough.
As well, in preparation for Sun and Moon, Review Fix Editor-In-Chief Patrick Hickey Jr. will help gamers transfer their Pokemon to the latest version via Pokebank, while all participants can trade Pokemon with each other.
*This tournament will not be played on the Nintendo 3DS versions of Red/Blue and Yellow. You need a handheld that can play the original games. Link cables will be available for purchase at the store as well. Participants are also free to share consoles and cables.
