[EAST] PAX Pokemon League 2012: Rivals!
Posts
Also, I'm sure Propriety will be along soon with some official survey for people to fill out about what they liked/disliked.
PS: Upload the pictures faster Heleor, dammit.
PSS: A special thanks to the challengers out there who told me they wanted me to have a team similar to the one I ran last year. Made me feel all mushy on the inside to see people wanting to get Dynamic Punched in the face again by Butterbean.
It's become one of my favorite piece of clothing
Cosplay Check List: WOOPER [X]
WOOP WOOP!

Cosplay Check List: WOOPER [X]
WOOP WOOP!
I suppose a slight introduction is in order here, I was the Steven Stone cosplay with the beast of an Aerodactyl (you know you love him Heleor ) and the awesome Broseidon on my team. I had an amazing time getting to know many of the gym leaders and E4, and provided school doesn't get in the way next year I would be honored to join their ranks. Thanks to Heleor and Propriety, and whoever else gets the cred for putting this all together and taking your time and money to make an experience that everyone can enjoy.
Heleor, Desmond/StandstormS I'll post my FC on the PPL forums and we can have a real battle. No aerodactyls, i promise.
Oceanus, if you want that piplup nicknamed correctly...see above.
IF ONLY I HAD KNOWN! I so would have dragged a leader down there or something D:
Wooper's gonna woop
~Steven Stone, Hoenn Champion R/S
EDIT: Final Badge count 15 leaders, 1 Rival (although i had like, 2 informal rivals on the side) and 2 E4. Not t0o shabby!
Dude, Dude, ok your my favorite person,
because 1, your forum name, is the same name I named my Quilava, and two, because your just an awesome person, and I remember you since we hung out a lot... and you know... your forum name is what I name my johto starter...
that's enough criteria to love you right?

WOOP WOOP!
I got all excited for a battle when I overheard you mention my text box sign when I was bopping around the handheld lounge. But you broke my heart and for that, I am sad.

volaro sorry to break your heart! i meant to get around to battling you later, but I got caught up in getting badges and you sort of slipped my mind
if you want to wifi, give me a week. I gave away one of my key pokemon and i have to re-breed it since i no longer have the excuse of time constraints to justify pokegen
also Woop (calling you that regardless of anything, sans your real name) do they do custom hoodies? I'd love an Aggron or Quilava one
I don't remember everyone, but I'll certainly try:
Ser Butcher - what a terrifying name
Lady Jello - at least, I think that's how you spell it
Ser Tom K
Ser Tommy
Ser Andrew
Lady Emily
Ser Brian
Ser Javier
Ser Dan
Ser John
Ser Oscar
Ser Scott
Lady Chelsi
Ser Steven
Ser Kirk
Ser Dustin
Ser Ryan
Ser Derek
Ser Devon
Ser Ethan
Ser Paul
Ser James
Ser Jake
Ser Colin
Ser Dominic
Ser Volaro
Please show due respect to these valiant, new Knights of the PAX Pokemon League. If you were knighted and do not see your name listed, by all means let me know and I'll add you to the roster with my apologies.
I know you knighted me
And sure, Quill, just send me a PM when you're good and ready. Same for you, Wooper / Asianknight. I'd like having some friends to ocassionally battle in the off season.
B-b-b-b-b-bullet punch!
And you're totally lame for not being up at 8am for our pre-coffeeIcan'tthinkstarightbattle.
There will surely be pictures going up soon on the site, as well as a survey where you can tell us what you liked/didn't like/any ideas for next PAX. And, of course, if you want to be a gym leader at PAX East, keep an eye out around September/October time, when we'll put out the call.
Oh nooooo I was clearly too frightened of my imminent defeat. Sorry this never happened. We'll have to swap friend codes and battle anyway. :B And then my badge will appear mysteriously by your bedside one morning.

My wife teased me to no end. "You're 35 and too shy to play pokemon with those people?" I just stayed on a nearby Sumo and lived vicariously through you.
I'll try to work up the nerve to challenge you if I come back next year.
A list of all the champions will be going up on the website soon, but all the photos I have have been posted on the facebook group!
Facebook album here.
next year man, next year.
although i heard you live in Toronto? be careful what you say, i might just end up on your doorstep for that badge!
Aw shucks! You're never too old for a Pokemon battle!
And we had at least one leader who is in his thirties, and I'm sure several of our challengers were too! Next time, you should definitely challenge us. No need to be shy about it, all the leaders are very friendly.

Hehe, thanks. Maybe I'll apply to be a gym leader next year so I won't feel like such a creeper. Accepting challenges is somehow less daunting then demanding one, for some reason. Plus, I'm good with kids and love giving feedback.

Seriously, though. This feedback helps us immensely. So please take it if you can! <3

I liked the Champion battle a lot, because it's fun to break the game down into battle strategy vs. team selection strategy. Apparently I have some of the latter (well, unclear, since I still haven't battled outside of PPL) but not enough of the former. Hmph. Are you sure the Plusle and Minun were actually the same speed? (Having the 50-50 odds work against me twice...well, okay, I guess 25% chance is still pretty reasonable).
Anyway, it was a very cool idea; very fun!
So, if I wanted to apply to be a gym leader for next year, how would I do that? A brilliant leader idea came to me as I was on my sixth hour of the Settlers of Catan tournament...
What do you do for Wheat, though? And what would be number 6? Hm....
Thank you all for wishing me better. I think I'm finally past this cold. I hope I didn't give anyone IRL Pokerus by mistake.
I'm happy with how my team did considering the options I had. I can't tell you how much I loved the expressions people had when my Zoroark was revealed. But argh, those Vaporeons!!!
I'll see you all next year. I'm already looking forward to it!
Aw I thought I was the oldest.
No way. He was mean & tough & he dare those weak little bugs hit so hard!
how dare he work those weak little bugs so hard?
Reading about you guys prepping for it got me all excited to try it out, then I remembered I wouldn't be doing East since I'm super-West Coast.
Fairly well, depending on the leader. My team was built with no regard for IV/EVs, and in the end I couldn't tell the challengers who bothered with them from the ones that didn't. Wins and loses seemed to have everything to do with strategy and tactics, which made most every battle very fun.
I was the one who coordinated most of the Rival card stuff at East; I'm not going to be helping out with Prime (primarily because I'm not going), so I don't know.

Second - my son brought his makeshift badge case and his four badges to school for share time (aka Show n Tell) last week. He was basically king shit on turd island for the day. All his friends were super impressed and thought that him actually beating gym leaders was the most awesome thing ever. Thanks again to the leaders he battled - off hand it was a ghost gym, cave gym, flying/air, water...we had to bolt before he could battle the bug king sadly.
Hehe! If you want a rematch on Wifi we could do that, but my levels vary between 63-52.
