PAX South 2015, PPL 2015, South 2015 News

Get Well Soon, Hiker Bill!

Propriety here, with some bad news, trainers: Hiker Bill was skiing in the mountains (no we are not kidding, he is truly committed to the outdoor life of a hiker!) and he dislocated his kneecap, chipping a bone in his knee. He’s had to have surgery, and unfortunately he is unable to make the hike out to PAX South. 🙁 We will miss him and wish him a speedy recovery.

All is not lost, however! Hiker Bill has entrusted his badges to Elite Four Member Darren and Elite Four Member Sorrel, who have concocted a plan. Ask them for details on how to show you’re worthy of the Beard Badge!

Also, remember that there are bonus badge opportunities to help you collect your eight badges!

Remember, the Pokemon League challenge is often full of challenges and surprises, but the important thing is to have fun! Good luck, trainers!

PPL Australia: Episode 4 (and 3)!

The fourth and final Episode of the PAX Pokemon League Australia Podcast is up! CHECK IT OUT!

Produced by and starring the sizzlingly electric (and eclectic) Professor Fern, and this week featuring PPL Aus administrator/Ghost-type-in-the-machine gym leader Phil (as always) and Bug-type gym leader Priam! They talk about how PPL Aus went overall, give some shout-outs to a few memorable challengers, and talk about how YOU can get involved in the PPL Aus!

In short: if you’re interested in getting involved in PPL Aus as a gym leader next year, applications will open up some time in late May/early June of next year. That’s a long time to wait and it’s easy to forget, so I suggest following the PPL Twitter account (@PAXPokemon) or Like our Facebook group (PAX Pokemon League) or if you’re social media adverse, you can even follow our RSS feed! We’ll announce when applications open.

If you’re planning on attending any of the other PAXes, the PPL will be there too! It’s too late to apply to be a gym leader for PPL South, but applications for PPL East will open very soon! So watch for that… and PPL Prime applications will go up sometime in March!

While you’re waiting, though, follow Phil’s advice in the podcast and join the forums! Chat with gym leaders, give us ideas for next year’s League, share stories… it’s a good place. 🙂

(Also, we goofed and didn’t link to it, but Episode 3 went up a few weeks ago! Did you miss it? Give it a listen!)

PPL Australia: Thank you for playing!!!

Thank you everyone for making the first PPL Australia a big success!

We’ll have another update with some pictures soon, but for now I wanted to say a few thank yous:

Thanks to Phil (philomglol on the forums and on twitter) for agreeing to organize the League and run things on the ground! Without him this wouldn’t have been possible.

Thanks to loltsundere for the wonderful gym leader art, and my good friend Kim for helping keep the art side of things organized.

Thanks to the great and powerful Morganstern for designing the badges for those gym leaders who asked (Morganstern has designed SO MANY BADGES you guys, he’s amazing).

Thanks to all the gym leaders who worked hard to put together their teams and put their time and money and effort into making this happen…

and thanks to YOU, for participating! The League would be nothing without you! We hope you play again next year!

If you want to join our community, come join our forums! You’ll find lots of gym leaders hanging around.

Aus 2014 Leaders, PAX Aus 2014, PPL 2014

Leader: Chillian, the Fire Master from Legend!

ChillianBefore the Pokéball, before the Pokédex, before technology as we know it today existed, Pokémon were not caught; they were befriended. The bonds of friendship were what tied Humans and Pokémon together, not cages. In this age long since past, there were ‘The Four’. These Champions, who represented the 4 main types of discovered Pokémon (Water, Grass, Fire, and Electric) were the Ultimate test for people who held the power of Pokémon. Their skill level was beyond comprehension; their bonds with their Pokémon, unrivaled. Humans would challenge these Four in hope to obtain the greatest Merit given: the Title of Loyalty.

Chillian, the Master of Flame, was no exception to the Legend of The Four. His fierce battling strategy was feared by many, and his warm heart loved by many more.The Dogs of War, his pride and joy, reflect both of Chillian’s core values: they are both ferocious battlers and the loyal companions. Demonstrate your bond with your Pokemon to Chillian and be awarded the Loyalty Badge!

Leader: Hydra, the Righteous Ace!

HydraHydra was an ace trainer specializing in dragon-type Pokémon. He prided himself on his righteousness, always fighting for the good of people and Pokémon alike, and was appalled when he heard news about organisations like Team Flare and Team Rocket who were mistreating Pokémon for nefarious ends. Thus, he resolved to fight back. He began gathering like-minded ace trainers and set up a Pokemon gym dedicated to guiding up-and-coming trainers on the importance of respecting their Pokemon. Hydra’s mantra echos: “only those pure and just will pass through my gym!” Are you righteous enough to earn the Scale Badge?
