2. BBCF Location Test Team Tournament Footage

   Famitsu has some footage from the recent invite-only location test. It's a Red vs. White team battle among the participants! For those of you who don't know, a Red vs. White battle is basically a huge team battle where they take all the players there, divide them into 2 teams, and battle it out pokemon style until one team wins. Scroll to the bottom of the page to see the 3 videos they've put up. I can't read japanese, so I can't provide any additional details, but enjoy the footage!

   And don't forget, this is a location test, so none of what you see is guaranteed to be in the final game.
