Some of you may remember that at the start of August, in-store events giving Pokémon fans the chance to obtain the rare Pokémon Keldeo on their copy of Pokémon Black or Pokémon White were announced for the US and UK. While the events aren't due to start in the UK until the beginning of September, the events in the US have gone live from today.

The events are taking place in Gamestop stores across the US, and EBGames stores across Canada from today until the 6th of October. However a list of which stores are taking part hasn't yet been released, so you're best off checking with your local store to see if they have the event or not. For full details on the Keldeo, read on!

This weekend has seen Hawaii play host once more to the Pokémon Video Game World Championships and after three days of tough battling we now have our champions. In the Masters division US player Ray Rizzo fought hard and took the championship title for the third year running. After making it through the swiss rounds without losing a single match and having played really well in the finals, Ray deserved it. For the Seniors division Toler Webb took the championship title, while Abram Burrows took the title for the Junior division.

If you want to find out how other players who attended the event did you can find the full tournament results here. However, this isn't the only exciting news to come out of Worlds this weekend. The event's time in Hawaii has come to an end, and the 2013 Pokémon Video Game Championships will instead be held in Vancouver, Canada. This marks the first time in the event's history for it to be held outside of the United States.

And thus this year's championships come to a close, but with next year's due to be held in Canada it gives the hopeful Pokémon trainers for next year a lot to look forward to.
