Propriety here. Everybody at PAX Pokemon League headquarters is completely wiped out from a weekend of unforgettable battles, so until they’re recovered I’ll just put up a brief note: thank you to everyone who made PPL Prime 2013 another amazing year! Thank you to the gym leaders and elite four, and all you challengers who came out to give it your best in the PWT! You’re all winners! ^0^
If you participated in the PPL at PAX Prime 2013, you’d be so inclined, please fill out this brief survey! Your responses will help the League continue to improve! And come join our forums!
Also keep your eyes on this space… news about East will be coming soon. VERY soon. ^_~
This year at the Pax Pokemon League, we have lots of exciting leaders to battle. Not to be too single-minded, however, we’ve also got a few tricks up our sleeve! The first time you battle you will get a special card that not only shows our leaders, but will show you how to get these fancy medals, there’s four of them! and you can use them to count towards the eight badges needed to challenge the Elite four (though it takes two medals to equal one badge for that.)
Without further ado, here are the four medals, and how to get them!
The Battle Medal is gotten by having 8 BP in the Battle section of your card!The Trivia Medal is gotten by having 8 BP in the Trivia section of your Trainer Card!The Challenge Medal is gotten by having 4 BP in the Special section of your trainer card!The Victory Medal is gotten by having 4 BP in the victory section of your trainer card!
Challengers battle other challengers and make a request to a Leader to facilitate the challenge
This battle can either be just standard singles or according to one of the special rulesets under the Special category
Once the battle is over, the challengers return to the leader to get the BP squares on their cards initialed to show they have completed it accordingly
If it’s a standard Singles battle, then both participants get 1 BP marked off under Battles, and the victor of the battle gets 1 BP marked off under Victories
If it’s a special rules battle, both participants get 1 BP marked off under Battles, 1 BP marked off under the relevant Special square, and the victor gets 1 BP marked off under Victories
Of course, that all doesn’t apply to Trivia. For trivia, a challenger asks a leader for a trivia question and the leader provides one. If the challenger gets it correct, the leader initials one of the Trivia BP squares! Be careful, this trivia could be about anything! (Though it will most likely be Pokemon related)
When you have the correct number of BP in any one category, go find and show a leader to receive your corresponding Medal!
On a similar note! Also make sure to find the Trick master and ask her about her Trivia, in which you can receive a Trick Trick Badge, which can count as one of the eight badges needed to fight the Elite 6! (And I mean, if you manage to pass it off to the Champ as the Actual Trick Badge, we won’t hold it against you!) It also allows you to fight the Trick Masters Special team, so be sure to look for her. She will probably be disguised; either as one of her favorite Pokemon, Volcarona, or as one of the other leaders…
Greetings Challengers!
Our theme for Prime 2013 is the Pokemon World Tournament (PWT)! If you are not familiar with the PWT south of Driftveil City in Unova, it assembles Leaders and Champions from all the regions to compete in a grand showcase of pokemon and trainer talent! If you can beat 8 of these well traveled Leaders, and 4 of the Elites, you can face the Champion of Prime for recognition in the PAX Pokemon League Hall of Fame.
Expect updates on our Leaders from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and more as PAX Prime swiftly approaches! Check back regularly here for updates and pictures all throughout August!
It’s been a while since we posted any news here, but fear not, the league is on-track for this up-coming convention. The leaders are busy training their teams, polishing their badges, and getting ready for the stream of challengers that’s sure to come in a bit more than a month!
Keep checking back and we’ll post more information, including what leaders you will be able to challenge, in the weeks ahead!
That’s right, PAX Prime 2013 leader applications are now closed!
Those who applied, thank you! We’ve been looking over all of them. We’ve reached our decision, and will be e-mailing information to those who applied by the e-mails you listed in your application, so keep an eye on your inbox!
For the rest of you, look forward to awesome posts leading up to PAX Prime 2013 as we’ll begin revealing the Leaders this summer!
Hope to see you all at PAX Prime!
