    Can't wait! I had a blast last year, and I'm looking forward to this year's as well. I just hope it doesn't go down like last year, where I lost all three of the rock-paper-scissors challenge shots :(

    As did I. It was pretty brutal.

    We were Blue Gold last year(at least, I think it was Gold), and I think any party is a good party if you're rolling with the Squirtle Squad :D

    Caught them all, although Friday morning was a little bit rougher than the norm.

    I had a lot of fun last year on Blue Silver even though I practically missed the first bar. I lost two of the three rock-paper-scissors battle, but fortunately the shots we had were DELICIOUS. The third challenge was pretty complicated to remember, so my challenger and I gave up and just got some drinks together.

    As some people commented oh yea friday morning was rough, by the end of the night i had counted somewhere around 12-15 drinks give or take most of it tequila and whiskey with a few beers mixed in. This was doing all the challenges (normal and bonus) + a few extra drinks in between. Why i was still standing let alone mildly coherent at the end of the night is beyond me.

    Also the poketron costumes were definitely amazing, kinda fun to see them walking around town too since they were all lit up and what not.

    Oh man, can't wait to get back together with the Squirtle Squad.

    Is it in poor taste that I prefer Team Totodile?

    I think it was Gold, too. Probably. And, I think my night/morning were a little rougher than yours, considering I got to drag a half unconscious person to a hotel room. Literally. Still. Great night.

    I walked back to my hotel with a bulbasaur pixel painting and no jacket. I had to borrow Juju's lab coat or I would've froze to death. I got back just in time for the 2-2:30am fire alarm.

    Can anyone participate? Seems like most of the people have done this before and already know their teams..

    @sudoken participants have to be 21+ (bar crawl and all). Spots are limited (check the op). Because this is such a prized event within the community, many attendants are repeaters and have developed team loyalties.

    This is an event for everyone and definitely geared towards newcomers. A lot of people do attend multiple years but that shouldn't dissuade you.

    Not sure about how the spots work, last year my friends and I happened to be at a bar the crawl was passing through and joined up.

    Don't count on this happening- random joining along the path or seeing a house is full and just thinking "Meh, I'll just hit them up along the route" is discouraged because we frequently hit capacity at the bars we visit. So please sign up!

    That said, I know I recruited people along the way last year as we had a few people drop early due to 'livers'.

    Which team won last year? And who arguably has the most arrogant drinkers/people? I kind of want to get my crew to go up against whatever team that is :p

    Blue team took the win for the most money raised. Most arrogant drinkers? Hmmm can't comment on that one. I know Blue put a few of Green team under the table at bar 3 with the 3 shots. At the end of the night the majority of Blue team did appear to still be alive and still partying. At bar 4 red silver appeared to have lost quite a few. Not sure how yellow and green were at the end of the night.

  • MalkaraMalkara Tampa, FLRegistered User regular
    ^ And that doesn't even count the silly amount of money I spent on cookies in the third bar. Seriously, preying on the drunk with sweets is CRUEL.

    Not only can I vouch that two green members ended up calling it quits after that bar, but I can also tell you that two other green members ended up defecting to team blue for the rest of the night. Team Blue is a party animal.

    May have to back out - my wife was going to be coming up Friday, but now will be up Thursday night with the kids. Probably don't need to be in the condition I know I will be in if I do this crawl.

    I'll have a few drinks at the BoardGame of Thrones in your honor.

    Yeah, definitely not encouraged. Last year worked out because like there were a bunch of people on Yellow that didn't show up and even less people doing challenges. I think it was when we met up with Blue that there were a bunch of people who couldn't find anyone to challenge.

    Want to confirm this. I was on Blue Gold last year and when we met the Yellows, I couldn't find a partner to save my life.

    Anyway, looking forward to being back on Team Blue this year! Was definitely the highlight of PAX for me last year.

    Hopefully it runs better this year and I have a partner to help me sort everything out :D

    Hey! I'm new to the forums but this is my second PAX East. Could anyone who participated in the Pokecrawl last year give me a ballpark figure on how much they spent during the course of the night? I'm trying to budget funds and figure out if it's an option. I know it's dependent on how much you want to spend, but I was sort of just trying to get a real life idea. If you included the challenges you participated in, that would be awesome.

    I'd appreciate the info! :)
