    Poetic, you are so hardcore. I haven't even finished White yet - in fact, I haven't played it since East!

    Everyone make sure lots of pictures of the PPL are taken - I'm counting on you!

    Yeah...I tend to take these things way too seriously xD it's probably going to get me into a lot of trouble one of these days. And I'll be making sure to bring my own camera this time around, so hopefully I'll have loads of pictures of everyone!

    Any restrictions on usable Pokemon we should know about?

    The basic rules are Pokemon with Base stats = 600 are restricted (only one per team) and >600 base stats are banned. Look for a full post being posted shortly!

    Wow, this time around for East the thread for the PPL was booming. Too bad there isn't more activity.

    We're not so gently prodding our illustrious organizers to get in gear for this thang.

    That said, I would recommend checking out Twitter, specifically accounts related to @PaxPokemonLeague

    In my experience, nothing makes a thread like this more active than a healthy dose of smack talk.

    This time around you were basically keeping the thread around single-handedly. ;)

    And yes, I understand everyone's waiting. We're typing things up and cracking whips at the Aipom on a keyboard in the back room.

    Oh psh, I wasn't posting that frequently, was I? Okay, maybe I was on the forums every day.... multiple times a day............ but that's not the point! I agree with Zerzhul - the revealing of the leaders was a great draw-in. Can't wait for that at East! Also, great imagery there with the Aipom.

    it has nothing to do with level, it's based on that particular pokemon's attributes.

    Looking forward to seeing the old and new PPL faces. ;) It'll be nice to be on the challenging side again.

    Scope out the metagame for PAX East. Hehehe..

    Coco~ I'm so excited to see you again!

    I will, unfortunately, not be attending Prime ):

    However, my Shuckle team will be ready and willing for East! Alongside my new B/W team which will also be themed, as I hinted at in the PPL forums.

    Level 50 as we'll be using flat battle, which lowers pokemon above 50 down to 50, but does not raise pokemon up.

    Other than that, bring what you think will be a good/fun team (within the restrictions of the rules in the OP) a large dollop of patience, and a willingness to have a good time.

    I'm pretty sure it raises the Pokemon in B/W, so no levels necessary. :)

    Without getting into EV training, which there are many guides online, some advice:

    - Type Coverage: Have a number of different type moves to try and cover all weaknesses and effectiveness. This is one of the most important things you can do when planning your team. You don't need 1 pokemon with 2-3 fire moves, or 4 pokemon with 1 fire move each.

    - Hold Items: While item clause is in effect, you need to know where to place your items to help your team the most. Realize there are subsitutions (IE: Leftovers, Black Sludge for poison type, Shell Bell, Sitrus Berry, Big Root for a mon with a draining move are all ways to recover HP) and don't overlook any possibility. (Frigging Quick Claw Torkoal took out my Steel Team.)

    - Know The Role: Know what niche you want each pokemon on your team to play. Are they a Physical Sweeper? Special? Mixed? Wall? Wall breaker? Lead? Revenge kill? Support? Stall? Knowing ahead of time what you want your pokemon to do will help you plan their build and adjust their play style.
