The PPL Art team has not even released these images to us! I am... SO EXCITED to see them!

Ahhh, very very tempting to volunteer as a gym leader, but I've got cosplay planned for all 3 days already with my friends, so I couldn't really rock the gym leader thing. I'll be sure to challenge a leader, though!
Man, even Dora the Explorer thinks you're slow.

We've actually already got gym leaders lined up for this year, so what we need is challengers! Everything works out perfectly! I look forward to your challenge!

By the way, because I was Propriety's roommate (the one with the cookies), and I hung out with you all after the end of PAX last year, I blame you all for making me have to play the Pokemans. :P
Funny story, the other two guys at my work play Pokemon. I'm the oldest at 26, the youngest is 22.
So most likely yes, I will try my hand at the League as a trainer (albeit not very good, as this is my first Pokemon game, and I've had it since last March).

Haha, sorry man, you hang out with me, you're going to catch the Pokerus! It's inevitable! I'm glad you'll be back for another challenge, and I'm sure you'll be able to earn some badges.
Everyone plays pokemon! Pokemon knows no age limits!
Also: Heleor is crazy. I told him he was crazy. "It's too egg-stravigant," I told him! "You'll never be able to egg-secute your plans in time!" But it seems he's persisting dog-egg-ly, despite my warnings.
(Wish I were there to help, I've already sketched out how Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur would look.)

I also need to get a cute new messenger bag or something, I bought a set of the original badges from that one booth upstairs and I've yet to actually wear any of them 'cuz my current purse is made of like...hemp or something, I don't know. And I don't really have much room on my DS bag 'cuz I covered the strap in all my PPL badges!

It's too OVUM the top? Need more time to POACH ideas from the internet?
Oh, I think it's really over-easy. It's not as if we're scrambling at the last minute. Those were just an egg-sample, but we have a bunch more ready to work on.
Currently, I have no idea what my Pokemanzes are up to, because my DS is in my room. All I know is that I'm trying to keep moving through Icarus City(where Dragonspiral Tower is?) and I'm stuck. Well, that and also two of my pokemon are already in need of a tone down for the League. The rest need to level up more.
I was a huge fan of Pokemon back when it first came out, I had the hat, red and blue games with all pokemon including the hidden one, and I use to record all the TV shows so I could watch them over and over again.... This was back when I was still in middle school/high school... since then I lost touch with pokemon... but reading this thread I think I'm going to pick up a black or white game and see if I can't have some pokemon to play with by the time pax arrives... I want to challange at least one gym leader before pax is over! lol sounds like great fun!

Oh its a lot of fun. I'm saying this from a Gym Leaders prospective, but I was told by a lot of challengers how much fun they had with it. I'm hoping we get more then twice the number of people involved this year
yeah, just picked up pokemon white, and borrowed my nieces DS... lol so far I have 2 gym badges... So quick question on this... is there a level I should try to be? like are all the gym leaders lvl50+ or is it like in the game? the first gym leader is going to be pretty easy, and get harder as I go along?
All the leaders will be 50+, but the battles will be Flat Battle - which means if your Pokemon is lower than level 50, it will be leveled up automatically.

EDIT: Nevermind! I have been corrected. In HGSS this was a problem, but apparently, in BW, your pokemon DO get leveled up! Sorry about that.
Also, @Korvas, we're planning on having gym leaders at varying levels of difficulty, with a suggested order if you want to scale up, like in the games. Experienced battlers can go straight for the tougher leaders, while more casual players can follow the "in game" path.

Uh, no, this is not true. In flat battles, if your pokemon is under level 50, it will NOT be leveled up! Pokemon ABOVE level 50 will be leveled DOWN to 50.
So, make sure your pokemon are AT LEAST level 50 if you want to challenge the league. This was only an issue once last year, but I did play a kid whose freshly caught Pokes were level 30, and it was a mess. So please please please make sure your pokemon are at level 50 or above! All gym leaders will be doing flat battle, so you don't have to worry about getting them beyond that.

In an IR battle, it uses the 50-All Rule in which pokemon below level 50 will become level 50. I assume this is what Heleor means and how PPL Prime was done this year.

I am saddened by N's lack of success thus far. And so you must be...punished!
And honestly, anyone who uses that freaking Shuckle needs to be kicked out of the League for cruel and unusual punishment. Pokemon's fun and all, but there's really no need for a 10 minute *battle* against one Pokemon. And I hesitate to call it that. Freaking goo bug...I'd kick it but I'd probably stub my toe.

Hey now, rainbowtunnel's shuckle team is great fun!
Hey, I said punishment, didn't I? Mwahaha! >:D I apologize for any collateral damage, but you should use your terror to encourage N to finish his task!

I totally have something better than a badge to give you if you challenge me this year. It might be a Shuckle figure. Okay it is a Shuckle figure.

Why canned when you can get it fresh! Warning: eating the heart of Shuckle will not give you their heart.

I can't wait to battle you all again this year, too!! I'm admittedly still on story mode (after restarting it once and not having played in a long, long time), so we'll see if I can pull a team together in time. I have a new team lined up if I have time enough to create it..... the Inanimate Object team!!

You've got plenty of time! PAX is still five months away.
Ooh, I like that team theme. Now I am curious! :O

Hello all! GumbyX AKA Hamto here. As you all know, PAX badges went on sale last week (hope you guys orders yours already) and now is the perfect time to spread word of the PAX Pokemon League (PPL)! If you know any trainers who don't know of us, be sure to tell them about our event and send them to http://paxpokemonleague.com/ to learn more. With more gym leaders participating this year, we are hoping to have even more con-goers take part in the PPL. So pull our your PokeGear and C-Gear and help spread the word!! :-D
