hello
I would like to join~~
but I have a question.....
in the rules section it says bring your A-game .... I train cute pokemon that I love and cherish. Due to some of their naturally low stats, especially in unevolved forms, even after extensive training, they will never be as powerful as a well-trained pokemon with naturally good stats. Should I give up on my cute team, or is there an alternate challenge option for Pokemon trainers like myself?
You could always fight Team Rocket =D

We won't have alternative challenges, but we have picked a scope of gym leaders for you to try. Every team should be capable of defeating at least one or two of the leaders - but only the best will defeat all of them!
Our lowest tier leaders have only 3 Pokemon, so a team of 6, even with lower stats, should be able to defeat them.
that, and I know only some of the GLs and E4 are EV/IV training they're 'mons. I know I'm not, because I'm not that pro. I will make my team tough in other ways.

Likewise, I'm nowhere near that OCD, if my 'mons do their job, I don't need to micromanage.

Tell anyone whose going to PAX that might be remotely interested in this! The more challengers there are the better I say. Lots of people gathering in one place and wanting badges would be awesome if we have official meetups during PAX for people to challenge the league.
If you're Team Rocket, do you have to randomly find a league player and spontaneously confront him anywhere and shout:
Prepare for trouble...
...And make it double
To protect the world from devistation...
...to unite all peoples within our nation.
To Denonunce the evils of truth and love...
...To extend our reach to the stars above.
Jessie...
...James
Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light...
...surrender now or prepare to fight.
MEEEEEEEEEEOWTH THATS RIGHT!
Then try to challenge him/her to their badges? That would make for some great publicity and entertainment :P, next comes the outfits and meowth cosplay!
this is a cool idea! Totally going to get my team up and ready. I have been addicted to heartgold, haha. Plus i have a pokemon cosplay group coming. I'm going to be Gary Oak. And i have a really cool Eevee related team ^^

You need to challenge players right after they finish a battle. Or right before they go after the Elite 4.... just to be Gary Mother****ing Oak.

Or just get a Meowth plushie. If anyone does that in my LoS, they get immediate Rocket Badges. Also likely induction in any retinue I may gather....>>;;

we may need to coordinate something. check your PMs.
also, as for rockets challenging you FOR your badges... these aren't like the PAX challenge badges, that they can be won off you from annother loss, but I would recommend rockets to battle people WITH badges.
I'm 90% sure this is what you meant anyways.
but yeah, team rocket is confirmed at the PPL, and I look forward to Gary Oak. Gary should just stand arround after each gym leader and battle you without healing your 'mons

You do realize the Pokemon are healed immediately after each battle, right?

Hahaha yeah but they do heal after the battles ^^ Dont think i want to just stand around haha, cause i want to be doing other PAX stuff, like I know u do as well, but my friends and I will try and help if u want. If this actually works out then I am totally pumped! Gotta get my team to 100s though. Right now they are at 70
So far we have a Gary, Brock, possibly Ash, and other friends who are still deciding :P

YES! They have tooo!! XD I was James at my first year at PAX and it was hilarious to yell that at people!
Srry if i replied on this forumn three times. I am new and totally just realized i could have replied to everyone's post in one post...Sorry hahaha
My wife and I just got back into Pokemon with HG/SS. We'd be interested in participating in this as challengers, or possibly helping out in other ways. Was there already some sort of meeting planned at Pax?

It does raise an interesting point. Other than losing the match, there's no real penalty for losing against Team Rocket....I shall have to think on this...

We're glad to have you both! We don't have any specific meetings planned yet, but if you see any of us in the halls feel free to challenge us for badges! We especially welcome challengers in the various lines we'll be waiting in.
Actual meet-up times will probably depend on the official schedule, but there should be at least one a day.
back on topic though, I plan on a super awesome secret cosplay that will be revealed at a later time... but trust me, it'll be freakin' AWESOME!
Ohhhh!! Exciting :P I'm going to hopefully get some of my Gary related stuff this evening. Also, Matev...U RULE for doing Gumshoe and Giovanni. Those two are awesome. I am a huge phoenix wright fan and have cosplayed Klavier Gavin before. Gumshoe is one of my favs though! XD

Klavier's tough, but seems like he would rewarding to pull off.
Gumshoe's just a big old wooby people can't help but pity and love. He's the lovable lug of the series.
Back on Pokemans, though *180s.* Mwahahahaha, pain and bad...! and Stuff....!

Well, it seems as if I'll be coming out to the West Coast after all. Heleor, you're first.
Seriously though, I'm going to get steamrolled. I'm as casual a pokemoner as you can get. Still, it's going to be awesome and if Prime is anything like PAX East was...

You know what Smogon is and how choice items work. You're not casual. o_O

SSSHHHHHHHHHH.... If they know what I know I know, then they would know that I know more than I think they know I know.
Just as a note - I know at least I am going to be at the Pre-Pax dinner, but I'm going to be avoiding actual challenges there. It's just not as fun when you're not in character.
While I don't know how this thread is the first hit when typing "Does flat battle have sleep clause?" into Google, but I am very glad it is. Before stumbling onto this thread, I had no idea what PAX was about. I thought that it was like ComiCon, which I was rather bored at when I was invited to attend this year with a friend. I became interested when I heard that PAX was more about video games, and the nerds attracted to them, which is much more my cup of tea.
I actually made an account to say this: this idea is brilliant. I was actually excited enough to read through the whole thread, taking in all the delicious good-ideaness. Makes me sad that I hadn't heard much about PAX until now, as there is little to no chance of me making it. I will definitely have to make it a point to attend next year, and I hope your even goes as planned (so I can participate next year, of course ).

Pull some strings and join us! You got some months left to lie to your bosses and head on down :P
I've been half-assedly following this, the half-assedly part mostly because I am not used to battling anything besides NPCs and I am worried if I can pull together an awesome enough team. I am going to try either way, though. This sounds like one of the best events in the history of PAX as far as I'm concerned.
It sounds like you've got your hands full with Team Rocket... However, I will be cosplaying as Rocket Executive Ariana on Sunday, so you've got one more.
I'll also have my Pokewalker on me, I haven't had much of a chance to use it since SakuraCon.
You guys are so awesome for putting this together!!
Wow! I'll be a first-time PAX attendee and I just bought my tickets yesterday, but this looks like it's going to be really awesome! I'm a pretty casual Pokèmon player, but hopefully I'll be able to find a gym leader or two and give this a shot, if I can whip my team into shape. It looks really cool!

I meant that IF PPL happens AFTER the launch of the game...
this is why you're the PR man
and I updated the front page again.... sorry for the delay.
Likewise, I'm nowhere near that OCD, if my 'mons do their job, I don't need to micromanage.
One more challenger here!
Is there anything us challengers need to do for this, aside from the bringing of A-game?
I would also recommend picking up HG/SS, but D/P/pt will work just as well.
other than that, just be prepared to battle!

It's the psychological effect that counts
Hahaha That would be hilarious! I am totally planning on yelling "Smell Ya Later" to a billion people ^^
