Prove your worth at the Pokemon World Championship and become a sprite in Pokemon Black & White 2

If you've ever dreamt of pulling on Ash Ketchum's infamous cap and becoming a real-world Pokemon trainer, you'll be extremely pleased to read that Nintendo will soon give you the chance to do just that. Sort of.

Should you manage to prove your worth against other budding trainers at next month's Pokemon World Championship event in Hawaii, Ninty will transform you into a sprite and throw you headlong into the world of the recently released Pokemon Black & White 2 games.

You, along with your custom team of critters, will be distributed to players via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Players will be able to take you on in the Pokemon World Tournament - a special battle arena that debuted with the new games.

Pokemon Black & White 2 are scheduled to hit store shelves in the US on October 7th, then make their way over to the UK on October 12th.
