On Sunday, at 6:31 PM after PAX officially closes, come to the lobby of the Grand Hyatt (right next to the convention center!) for the 

Gym leaders, Elite Four, and Challengers will mingle and battle! Maybe pick up a few of the badges you missed, get to know your fellow Pokemaniacs, and just generally have a good time! Plus, challengers who beat the Champion can come here to show off the teams that brought them to the Hall of Fame!

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!

To help challengers on their way to the Elite Four, PPL South is offering extra badges for other activities in addition to battling Gym Leaders.

First up, help spread the word about the PPL at PAX South and earn yourself the Network Badge! Challengers just need to take a picture of themselves holding their Trainer Card and upload it to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or any other social media network with the hashtags #PAXSouth and #PAXPokemon to receive the Network Badge!

Our second bonus badge is the Technical Badge! Each day of PAX, we’ll be posting a special clue describing a pokemon move taught by a Technical Machine here on PAXPokemonLeague.net. Figure out which move it is and present a pokemon that knows that day’s move to receive the Technical Badge!

We interrupt your Prime updates to post a notice that applications for PPL South are officially closed! Thank you to everyone who applied; the response was wonderful! We’ve reviewed applications and sent out decision emails! Check your inboxes!

What’s that kicking up dust in the distance??? It’s a new PPL!!! PPL is expanding YET AGAIN to PAX South!!!
