Other activities of the league include meetings of the members, soccer games and other video games.


==History==
The league began with an invitation on the [http://foros.atomix.vg/ Atomix magazine forums] and soon after that some people were interested and ''Pokemasters'' was created as a clan, but most of the members were from different cities, so a lot of them had to drop out because the [[Generation III]] games didn't have online play, and it would be difficult to play between members.


=History=
The remaining members from Mexico city wanted to create a ''Pokémon League'' with the rule of accepting only people from the same city in order to make meetings in a regular basis, they decided to change their name and "PKMN United" was the winner of the poll. They decided to make their first tournament to determine the champion, that was (LinkGold)which is currently an ex-member. Soon after the league members determined that after certain amount of time there would be a new tournament to have a new Champion.
Originally the founders of the league used to belong to an Atomix clan named Gamers Force who specializes on Smash Bros Melee competitive gaming, but also played other videogames in a secondary way, after taking the decision of making their own pokemon league, this originally had been thought to being named Pokemasters and be composed of people of all the country of Mexico, but after the league only was formed by the north and center region. Originally the league members trained their own pokemons, but with the knowdelge and use of Gameshark, Action Replay and Pokemon Factory, the league facilitated the training of their pokemon and the general level of the league rose,


The league had used as HQ Forums Pokemex and Atomix basically, also they recently lost their pay forums, they have won some tournaments like the Odessa's, netbattle and more recently Wi-Fi tournaments. Only a tournament had been organized by PKMN United and it were won by a Nekenio member
Although initially training their own {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, the league soon acquired knowledge of [[GameShark]] and [[Action Replay]]. In order to use Pokémon to their full potential.


Soon after, they decided to challenge other leagues including Pokemex, Nekenio  and Dark soul and taking on public tournaments, and organizing their own both on [[Netbattle]] or in the city (such as the copa PU I and II, Ampharos Cup and Miss pity & Pikitri cup) which were ruled by the alternative [[Tier List|tier list]] made by the league.


A new branch was opened in the north (Sinaloa), but it didn't last long, the sister "PKMN United Norte" didn't had enough members.


==Challenges againist other fan organizations==
The league was successful for some years, winning some tournaments (not as many as their rival league: Nekenio) and having both good and bad reputation, criticism existed towards PKMN United for not winning the Pokemex tournament and the ways the league members expressed over Internet forums (such as [http://www.pokemex.com/ Pokemex]) to their rivals. But at the time [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond & Pearl]]  were released, many Trainers had to quit the game due to other occupations and so the league had to find new members, the tournament to determine a new champion was canceled for a time until now.
Thanks to the PKMN United league is located in Mexico City, the league have had physicall contact with other groups and challenges of the same type


Recently the league returned to tournaments, most of them over [[Nintendo]] Wi-Fi and accepting the first member outside Mexico city (Neoth). They opened their own YouTube channel to record some of their battles.


Actually, the league consists of 14 members.
