Hai ACP!  I am pleased to announce that I will be hosting the very first ACP Pokemon tournament,  and you only need a computer for this one!

So you might be thinking “Hey fluffy, how do we only need a computer to play a game for a console/handheld device?” Well, there is this site and its called Pokemon showdown. It is a pokemon battle simulator where you can make your own team with pokemon, items, abilities and their own move set too. I’ll go over everything later in the post but now, I’m going straight to the prizes.
