Introduce yourselves!

[Kaladin]

Hello there. I'm Kaladin. I've been watching the goings on (from online) the last couple years. East this coming year is going to be the first PAX I'll be able to make it to, and I'm hoping I'll be able to get involved with the PPL.

So Generation 6 is a definite then? And if the Gym Leader application go out before then are we allowed to change our team lineup once X and Y come out?

[Shrain]

Your team doesn't need to be final during the sign-up period - as a matter of fact - you may tweek it even as the final weeks to PAX draw near. Don't worry about having the EV/IVs all planned, the movesets, all that jazz. Just come in with a brilliant idea with a clear direction you're taking it, and you can change it up accordingly - later on.

[Kaladin]

Ok, thanks. I've got that much planned out already, I was just worried about getting locked in to a team before X and Y was even out.

[Propriety]

We wouldn't make you do that! After all, not everyone can be lucky enough to be a Psychic type gym leader so they can use Future Sight...

Gym leaders end up changing and tweaking their teams all the way up until the day before PAX! All we ask is that you have some idea of what you want your gym leader to be, and show that you've put some thought into it! If X&Y throws a wrench in your plans for some reason, you'll be able to adjust to work it out.

I'm Coan, aka Coan Arcanius, aka Conan.

I've been playing Pokemon since gen 1, played some gen 2, skipped 3, got back into it hard with 4 and working again to try and catch em all (was so close in pearl...490/493 ) Unlike the other old folks who started with gen 1, I'm ok with all generations, even that misfit gen in the middle that I played through after completing gen 4.

As for PPL, I participated last year and it was a blast, didn't quite get my 8 badges, but, such is trying to juggle EVERYTHING with my first pax.

For PA, I've been a part of the community for the most part over almost 15 years, so I'm pretty stoked to have things in line to goto East these days and meet friends I've only known online or have met before with other PA events (like the pre-cursor to PAX, NecrowombiCON).

Stoked to be participating in ppl east 2014 (possibly as a leader) and seeing what X/Y keeps bringing for surprises.

Hey there! I'm Seth, or Spm517, and I'm new to the forums. I'm just posting this in order to say hi to everyone else on the forums and get a feel for the PAX community. It will be my first year attending PAX this year so I'm pretty excited!

[Erkenhelm]

Hey everyone, I'm Erkenhelm. I battled in the PPL at PAX East this year and decided to sign up for these forums in anticipation of the next PAX East. PPL was one of the highlights of my last PAX so I can't wait to battle in X/Y.
