I'm suddenly seeing the huge, gigantic flaw in the whole unadopted pokémon tournament thing... the whole 'you'll have to wait until the tournament is over if you want to legitimately adopt them' clause. Am I the only one who thinks people will be put off adopting them even further if they think they're gonna have to wait for an indeterminate time before they can actually use them? For example, if I was in Ben's situation, who has just adopted his first pokémon who just so happens to be in the tournament, I would be muchly pissed off with the organisation of this whole thing right now coz I'd have to wait until god knows when to actually be able to join in.

Don't get me wrong, the whole battle tournament is a good idea, I just realise now that it wasn't that great an idea to have it interfering in any shape way or form with the day-to-day running of the adoption centres. Face it, it's been dead enough already WITHOUT us going 'oh, sorry, you have to wait a while before you can adopt this pokémon' to further put people off.
