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.

Meetup Times, Trainer Cards, and Prizes!!!

Lots of important news! First, PPL Aus, like PPL Prime and PPL East before it, will feature Trainer Cards!

The PPL Aus 2014 Trainer Card!

When you challenge a gym leader for the first time, win or lose, they’ll give you one of these! It has a list of all the gym leaders (to help you identify them and keep track of the ones you’ve faced) as well as a list of all the ways to keep track of us (social media stuff) and a helpful list of Meetup Times!

Meetups will be held in the Handheld Lounge (level 0, click that for a map) at:

Friday, 10:30 AM
Saturday, Noon
Sunday, 3:00 PM

Meetups are a great way to find lots of gym leaders to battle, as well as other challengers! Compare badges, get to know some new friends, or maybe… Rivals?!?

Finally: if you manage to collect 8 badges, find Gym Leader Phil (he’s the PPL Aus Administrator, and also a gym leader!) and show him. He’ll take your picture for the Hall of Fame and give you a prize! (While supplies last, we don’t know how fast they’ll go!)

There’s no Elite 4 or Champion to defeat this year; the League is starting small to gauge interest. But if we get enough demand, we hope to grow next year!
