Gengar EX: Legend Maker

The year 2005-2006 marked a significant milestone in the Pokémon Organized Play (POP) scene, particularly with the introduction of the 'Battle Frontier Cycle' and the growth of competitive play. This cycle was characterized by seven seasons, each revolving around the Frontier Brains in Pokémon Emerald's Battle Frontier.

Regional Championships Series

One notable addition to the POP schedule during this period was the Regional Championships Series. This series brought together top players from across North America to compete against one another. The first Regional Championship took place on November 12, 2005, at Gamemaster Games in Gilbert, Arizona.

International Tournaments

While competitive play heavily revolved around the United States' schedule, international tournaments also gained traction. Mexico, in particular, saw a surge in Pokémon events, with multiple locations hosting tournaments throughout the year. Some notable events include:

* Pro Games in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico (December 20, 2005)

* Oki-Doki in Pozarica, Veracruz, Mexico (November 27, 2005)

* Metagames in Cancan, Yucatan, Mexico (December 21, 2005)

Gym Challenge and City Championships

The Gym Challenge continued to be a staple of the POP schedule, with players vying for Gym Badges. The City Championships also saw increased participation, with events taking place across North America.

The 2005-2006 season was an exciting time for Pokémon Organized Play, marked by growth and expansion both domestically and internationally. With the introduction of new tournament formats and the continued popularity of existing ones, this period set the stage for future competitive play. If you have any promotional materials or attendance records from this time period, your contributions are greatly appreciated in helping to preserve this piece of Pokémon history.
