Sadly I will not be attending PAX Prime this year (I usually go as a PPL challenger anyways at Prime) but I look forward to helping out in the art department for all the new leaders we'll get! See you on the PPL Forums!

ah, ok.
well if you hang arround the forums, we like ideas that are awesome. and you're known for great ideas.
I tried to talk my boyfriend into signing up for this, but he wouldn't do it. I think he'll need some coaxing for next year. I think he'd have a lot of fun.

you should most defineately have him come challenge the League!
I can be a challenger and Is there a list of Pokemon that are "illegal"?
And how much of a commitment is the PPT? Can I just see leaders randomly then battle or do we have meeting spot, if so do I have to go to every meeting etc.

Not sure if the final rule set, but this is what was used for East. Looks like Deoxys was legal for it, which means someone needs to look at the rules more often 8P
Which reminds me, why is the link to anything not in the first post....

yeah, these were the final rules for PAX EAST.
We aren't likely to change them MUCH from these rules, but the are subject to change.

I think your team is quite well rounded, but I would consider dropping Deoxys for a different psychic type in case Deoxys is added to our ban list. If not dropping completely, planning for a backup

Yeah. I'm working on it. I'll probably give it a go just to get him to do it. Which means I gotta get working on my team. ^_^
I'm thinking of doing this, but I'm hesitating because it's Pokemon Black/White...
I'm a huge fan of the original 150, but I never played any of the games past Ruby/Sapphire because I just couldn't get interested in the new Pokemon. That's the same thing that's holding me back from getting Black/White. How much time would I have to invest in the game before coming across some of the original 150 Pokemon? And generally what level Pokemon do people bring to the PAX Pokemon League?

In my honest opinion (that is not in any way sponsored by nintendo, I promise) is that Black and White are great re-introductions to Pokemon. The game is structured that you don't encounter any old pokemon until after you beat the Elite four, but then you find them almost everywhere. Beating the E4 usually takes about 30 hours of game play (by my guess) and roughly level 45 pokemon.
Also the cool thing about challenging the league is we use the IR Flat battle setting. This means that any pokemon under level 50, get scaled up to level 50, and any pokemon above level 50 get scaled down to level 50. The only advantage to leveling above 50 is to learn new moves, evolutions, or more time aquiring EVs.
Right, just bought Pokemon White so I can hopefully do this. Haven't played Pokemon since Silver, so.. um.. yeah. Should be interesting
it's an ADVENTURE!
Spoiler:
I like this more than you can imagine.
All I did was edit out the Finn and Jake and replaced it with some shaky-handed laptop mouse-pad writing of Patrick & Co.But thanks for the appreciation!
EDIT: I'm going to post this on my blog. ( zoroark173.tumblr.com )
If you ever get stuck, just hack yourself in a Zoroark. (If you don't know what Pokemon that is, look at my avatar.) Zoroark fixes all problems. Zoroark will help you out. Zoroark will make you feel sleepy. Very very sleepy. Zoroark will tell you to give him all of your money. Zoroark will get it. Zoroark will run away.
