Had so much fun... maybe too much, as I don't recall the latter half. It was great to meet all of you wonderful folks. If you saw me do something terribly embarrassing, I'd rather not know all the details. I've already heard too much. I unfortunately spent a good chunk of my day recovering on the couch area in the Exhibit Hall, fantasizing about playing games. :? There's always tomorrow? Thanks to everyone who organized and participated for creating this monstrous and awesome event.
Team Green-Gold, you guys rocked that crawl. It was an honour to have walked it with you, and I'm proud to say that this is the first crawl I've been able to drink responsibly and long enough to finish.
All you other crawlers? Many thanks for the challenges. I now know what a "Froot Loops" is, and am much the happier for the knowledge!
So I was at the panel where atlus presented the money we raised fof childs play and it was over $3000. For a night of drinking that is pretty impressive. Of course Team Blue got bragging rights for raising the most.
My friends and I were accepted into the Yellow Team at a bar and had an amazing time! We were the four who started chanting "yellow TEAM" and "pika-CHU!" while walking around, we wanted to thank everyone for being so dope and making our night awesome.
I have a ton of pictures that im going through now from the trip (just got back home to NYC) and i will get them uploaded to a Photobucket so i can share them here. A lot of people in the costumes and people we were with from the Red Team are also in these pictures so hope you guys enjoy!
I had an absolutely fantastic time. I tip my Gyrados hat to you, team blue gold! Squirtle Squad, you party like rock stars! Poketron: magnificent. And the members of team green that helped me reenact a gang battle a la the Jets and the Sharks outside of the third bar? Thank you, I'm still giggling over that.
As a bonus, I woke up with the "drank em all" and legendary dogs pins, and an autographed Freezepop cd. I'll see you guys again next year!
Fantastic night everyone! Thanks to everyone on Team Yellow who came out!
Bell in Hand dance party was totally the highlight of the night.
I did not enjoy having to remind certain people of boundaries inherent with at the barest minimum not being a dick, so this was not the highlight of my night.
But overall, I had a great time. Amorphous Tron, you guys were awesome, hope to see you next year, or at least around the con! Same with all the rest of my Golds.

I was one of those from team Green Gold. I actually have a short video from it somewhere...
And here is a picture of my little team green gold group that stayed together that night.
Sexy Dave!!!!
I also got to hand with my PokeProf the next night too. She was awesome. Hi Val!
I was your friendly recruiter in the yellow hat and hoodie. Thanks for being so spirited, we needed about 500% more chanting and you definitely delivered. I expect to see you all again next year.
I do Pokecrawl things. Professor Team Instinct, Hufflepuff supporter.@loofmodnar
Watching the reaction of locals as we stormed the streets, chanting: "Squirtle! Squirtle! Squirtle!".…..it just warmed my shrivled old heart. Thanks team Blue Gold! Ill never forget it! (What I remember, anyway. RPS at McFaddens almost killed me.)
The only downside to the night was I apparently agreed to do an interview with some local radio. TERRIBLE idea, it was a Howard Stern type show with racy questions. Gotta hope that never reaches my work....
So much Pokecrawl love, we tried to take every opportunity to tell people about it during the rest of the event as well. Next year, expect Evolution 2.0.
Team Blue/Blue Gold/everyone else: Had an awesome time partying with you guys and yelling at folks with the Squirtle Squad. Got all of my badges!
BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE
Squirtle Squad Member here and it was equally a pleasure. All of you were amazing company, and amazing challengers. Cannot wait to do it all again next year.
The hangover was SURPRISINGLY mild despite the VERY rough challenges (I'm looking at you Tequila!)
Redfield, we too, enjoyed the chant! Looking forward to seeing where the storyline goes. I have to say tho, I don't love the new shirt as much as I hoped. I may buy it anyway, but I am disappoint.
Another Squirtle squad member here. Team Blue/Gold you guys were super awesome to drink and hang out with and thanks for helping us turn team totodile into its true form, TEAM SQUIRTLE! SQUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRTTTTTTTTTTTLLLLLLEEEEEEEEE!!!! BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE! To the green team members that we recruited to the squirtle side you guys were awesome too!

My totodile hat and I heartily resent this remark. Though, the squirtle chant was pretty awesome.
I had fun drinking with Yellow Gold! Big ups to the PokeTron crew, you were friendly and easy to spot. My only regret was not bringing more Child's Play money and forgetting my mp3 player that had PokeShots on it.
@redfield85, were you the one rocking the Best in the World shirt? I was the Team Yellow guy in the Nexus armband. XD
And Sarah from Yellow Silver who I walked back to the T, you should totally hit me up on here!
also, to the guy that beat me in RPS 3 times in a row. You suck. The hardest thing all night was doing 5 shots at the 3rd bar.
Fuck. Tequila.
Also, I had to drink 2 of 3 and then we did the challenge portion. My opponent lost both, but I still bought myself 2 shots as well (although we had tasty shots).

Had so much fun hanging with you awesome peeps (especially my fellow Poketrons and the leader of Yellow Silver)! We were really lit on Team Yellow Gold.

Despite a few navigational difficulties, I'm so glad I was on Yellow Silver. I had a blast...from what I can remember. Feel free to find me on Facebook!
Here's my pix from the crawl (and the rest of pax, I'll be honest) Again, cannot stress just how good a time I had. That was entirely on the backs of the organizers and participants: you're all awesome folks.
just wanted to drop in and echo sentiments. had a great time on the crawl! was so nice meeting all my blue compatriots as you came to pick up your totodile shirts. also, huge shoutout to lucazzo who had to wait all day for UPS to deliver them to his house. rockstar!
great times, will definitely be coming along again next year. oh, and can I request that rock paper scissors always be a challenge? that was frickin awesome.

To the left is my arm. I drew those before the crawl. On the right is a drawing I did at the end of the crawl.

Nah. He was the one helping me chant it in the streets though! I had a Pokeball/Teefury shirt, green vest thingy, and pokeball hanging off my belt.

Did you ever get to catch anything with your Pokeball?
Surprisingly, I didn't throw it at anyone. Would've figured I would have at Team Yellow. Damn Ampharos!
