There can be only one......in the UK.THE SEARCH IS ON FOR THE “POKéMON COLOSSEUM BATTLEMASTER 2004”
There can be only one “Pokémon Colosseum Battlemaster 2004” and the search is on to find the individual worthy of this title. To celebrate the launch of the eagerly anticipated Pokémon Colosseum on 14 May 2004, hundreds of hopefuls can enter a competition to be crowned “Pokémon Colosseum Battlemaster 2004”. The winner will be Pokémon royalty!
The excitement kicks off at forty Toys “R” Us stores on Saturday 24 April, moving to five UCI cinemas before the Grand Daddy of all grand finals at the UK’s biggest cinema screen, bfi London IMAX.
Round One will be hosted at forty Toys “R” Us stores across the UK from 10am –5pm. Fans at these events will find themselves in the honoured position of being the first to play Pokémon Colosseum in the UK, a whole three weeks before launch! Plus, taking part in the competition couldn’t be easier, all people need to do is answer some questions and enter a free prize draw to win the chance of getting through to Round Two hosted at five UCI cinemas.
On Saturday 1 May 2004 Round Two will be held at UCI’s in Manchester, Greenwich, Solihull, Gateshead and Maidenhead. Winning entrants will be invited down to the cinema nearest to them to play the game that’s been making their fingers twitch on the silver screen. Not only is this the first 3D Pokémon game for the Nintendo GameCube which features an amazing Battle Mode and a Pokémon adventure Story Mode, it’s the first time a Pokémon game can be played on the big silver screen! But don’t worry if you are not part of the tournament as you can still come along to the cinemas between 12noon and 4pm to play the brand new game.
By this stage it will be time to enter the Colosseum. Competitors will be asked to either bring their own Pokémon Ruby or Pokémon Sapphire cartridges to use in the battling or use those supplied. If they bring their own, each entrant will need to follow some rules, for example each Pokémon must be trained to a level no higher than 75 (check out www.battlemaster2004.com for the full set of rules). The competition will rage on until just sixteen players remain.
When Saturday 8 May 2004 is upon us, our sixteen finalists will battle it out on the ultimate screen, the colossal bfi London IMAX. Our competitors will need to keep their strength up though, so will be sustained with super-sized food and drink and the chance to have photographs taken with real life Pokémon. In the Grand Final these chosen few will be able to bring along their own cartridges but this time there will be no restriction on the level of Pokémon they can use. By the end of the day the battle will have been played, our competitors spent, and some fabulous prizes won. But one will have reigned victorious, the only question is….who will it be?
