If you’re interested in PPL or Australian accents, a new episode of the PPL Aus Podcast has just been released!
2 terrific 2014 PPL Aus Gym Leaders and a level 2 Phil talk all things PPL Aus in our pre-season podcast.
This episode covers some commonly asked questions, such as “What is PPL?”, “How can I participate?” and “What fire-type move should I never use?”

Thank you for Playing! This is East 2015’s Final Post!
Fangamer.com has been a large supporter of us ever since we started doing raffles. They have supplied us with quality prizes each year since 2014!
Please check them out for unique twists on classic favorites in t-shirts, posters, plushies, and more!
Without Al Basler , we really wouldn’t look as good as we do. Business cards, trainer cards, and championship certificates have all been generously donated by him and his company!
One of our own PAX Pokemon organizers, Kim Swanner not only devotes a lot of time as the PAX Pokemon Art Director and East Gym Leader illustrator, but also donated a lot of the prizes for this year’s raffle!
Check out her site and her etsy!
Laura Wilson, one of the many artists at Fangamer, also devoted a lot of her personal time again this year to help make sure the leader art was vibrantly colored!
Check out her work at her site and at Fangamer!
Kristina (cocowoushi) has been a regular inks artist for the PAX Pokemon League!
Her work is fantastic, and you should check it out!
And here they are, those that climbed the ranks through the gyms, managed to defeat the Elite, and beat the champion himself!

Thank you to everyone involved! Especially you, double Mewtwo kid 🙂 See you in 2015!
Do you live in the Maryland/Virginia area? Do you want to get some practice in before PAXes South and East? Then have we got an opportunity for you! Pokemon Researcher Nyankokimi will be running a small tournament at Caffe Amouri in Vienna, Virginia on December 11th starting at 6pm! We will be running a youth and an adult group, maxing out at 16 participants each. We’ll be using Pokemon X&Y since the release of ORAS will still be too fresh. Normal PPL rules will also apply. We will also have a small discussion and Q&A about how to run your own fan-based game group! Please come and join us!
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!)
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.
