A 7 Hour Pokemon Party rocked Bryant Park last Tuesday as Pokemon USA hosted their 10th Anniversary party and continued the Video Game Championships where they crowned the National Video Game Champion. There were multiple attractions including the long line as trainers waited to obtain one of the top twenty pokemon voted on by the fans of pokemon.com. The winner of the 13 & over contest was Minh Le, age 22, of Chicago, Illinois and the winner of the 12 & under contest was Samin Syed, age 12, of Philadelphia, PA. We were able to get a hold of the live video aired from Bryant Park where you can view the semifinals, finals, Hogan's Interview, and extensive interviews with the participants.
