Nintendo UK has announced today that it is hosting a new Pokémon X & Y tournament in the United Kingdom. Prizes for winners include a trip to Tokyo and various Nintendo products. Four players will also receive fast track entry to take part in the UK Pokémon Video Game Championship series, organised by The Pokémon Company International, taking place in May.

The qualifying events kicking off on 1st March at selected GAME stores and shopping centres across Great Britain, will then lead to a Grand Final taking place in London in April. The two top placing Trainers from the "Ultimate Pokémon Expert" and "Junior Expert" age categories at the Grand Final will then be offered fast track entry to the Pokémon UK Video Game Championships event this coming Spring, meaning they skip straight to the second round.

The winner of the prestigious "Ultimate Pokémon Expert" title, a category open to those aged thirteen years or older, will earn themselves a week-long trip for two to Japan, the birthplace of Pokémon. They'll be able to immerse themselves in the Pokémon world by visiting the Pokémon Center and also explore all of the sights of Tokyo.

Be sure to check out the dedicated event page to see what you have to do in order to participate in the tournament.
