You might be asking "what exactly is this Elite Pokémon League?" If so, or if you would like to know more about what we are, read on!
Elite Pokémon League (EPL) is a place for people who play the Pokémon video games (particularly X and Y for the Nintendo 3DS) to battle, trade and, most importantly, make new friends. There's a bit more to it than that, however that is the essence of what we hope to accomplish here. I'll go into detail about what we do here at EPL:
Battles
Firstly, EPL is about battling. This is a Pokémon League, right? Much like the games (and anime, to an extent), the League is a program in which trainers test their mettle against 8 Gym Leaders who use varying types of Pokémon. Once victorious with proof of their winnings (badges), trainers move on to the Elite Four. The Elite Four, as the name suggests, houses four of the most powerful trainers around. Only by defeating all four members of this group will the trainer claim victory and forever be recorded in the Hall of Champions. What an aspiration!
Of course, the League is only one part of the battling scene here at EPL. We also take part in fun, unranked battles in order to better our strategies, Pokémon, and mindsets. Or just to play Pokémon! Check out the Free Battle Arena and the Gym Arenas for more information.
Trades
We can hardly catch 'em all by ourselves, can we? Therefore, trading is an integral part of the Pokémon games and our interaction here. We trade to obtain new Pokémon, rares, shinies, IV-bred Pokémon, you name it! Head on over to the Trading Center to take a look and trade with other trainers!
Discussions
What good is battling and trading if we can't talk about it? Discussing the games, strategies, thoughts, and predictions are just as important as battling and trading, if not more so. This is truly how we build relationships and lasting friendships. At the end of the day, you'll make friends here and that's what really matters. Head on over to the General Chat or any of the forums in the Pokémon Discussion area to chat with other trainers!
