PAX Pokemon League History

Thank you to all of you, to every one of you challengers, for making the PAX Pokemon Leauge 2013 the biggest and best PPL to date. The League wouldn’t be anything without it’s challengers! You make it happen!

I know I personally also want to thank all the gym leaders, elite six members, and the champion, as well as my fellow researcher Kim, who all helped make the league as great as it was. I couldn’t have done it without all of you. Thank you!

Within the next week, I’ll be posting a little survey for you to take so we can gather some statistics to make the League even better next year! Also there will be some places for suggestions and for you to tell us any cool stories you may have from your league challenge, and information so you can find out all the other cool stuff our gym leaders do when they’re not being gym leaders!

And if you want to be a gym leader at PAX East next year, we accept applications starting in September. Make sure you’re following our twitter (@PAXPokemon) and/or our Facebook to be kept up to date on all the going-ons! We’ll be posting a bunch of photos to our facebook account! Also, you can join our Forums. It’s a bit quiet now, but we’d love to make it more active. Go in there and share your stories!

For right now, though, I’m going to get my Snorlax on… everyone use REST… and make sure you’re not holding a Chesto Berry.

Thanks again!

In case you missed the original post, here’s a quick review about Trainer Cards!

After facing your first gym leader, win or lose, they should award you a trainer card! On the front of this card, you’ll see a subset of gym leaders who might be most suitable for you to battle! Remember, though, you can battle ANY Leader, not just those pictured on your card!

Collect eight badges from any leader for the right to face the Elite Six. Collect four emblems from any of the Elite Six for the right to face the champion!

While supplies last, anyone who beats the Champion will be themselves crowned champion and will be awarded one of these FABULOUS CHAMPION CAPES!

On the back of the card is important information, like meetup times, swarm times, and contact info for the League!

Also on the back of the card is a puzzle detailing the location of one of the legendary birds. Solve the puzzle using clues you pick up during your PPL journey! We highly recommend working together with other challengers to find clues! Some gym leaders will also have clues that might help. Once you’ve unmixed the solution to the puzzle, find Researcher Propriety or Researcher Kim (pictured on the back of the cards) to claim your prize! The puzzle is nonmandatory, but it is a good way to win prizes!

Also, here is a quick wallpaper of the Elite 6 and the Champion, to get you in the mood for a challenge!

Researcher Kim, in preparing for her big trip to Boston, has typed up this handy list of things you shouldn’t forget to bring! Nothing is more embarrassing than going all the way to the Pokemon League and forgetting all your Pokeballs, so review this list to avoid forgetting anything!
