Happy Halloween

We here at the ECPL wish you all to have a Safe Halloween.

	Avoid trick-or-treating alone. Walk in groups or with a trusted adult.
	Fasten reflective tape to costumes and bags to help drivers see you.
	Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them. Limit the amount of treats you eat.
	Hold a flashlight while trick-or-treating to help you see and others see you. Always WALK and don't run from house to house.
	Always test make-up in a small area first. Remove it before bedtime to prevent possible skin and eye irritation.

	Lower your risk for serious eye injury by not wearing decorative contact lenses.
	Only walk on sidewalks whenever possible, or on the far edge of the road facing traffic to stay safe.

Shiny Dialga: Monday, Aug. 19, 2013–Sunday, Sept. 8, 2013

Beginning August 19, U.S. GameStop stores will offer a Shiny version of Steel- and Dragon-type Dialga for a period of three weeks. If you're unaware, the Shiny versions of Pokémon are extremely rare, and offer unique coloration not normally found in the species.

Shiny Dialga

• US: At participating Gamestop stores from August 19th through September 8th.
• Canada: At participating EB Games stores from August 30th through September 12th.
• Europe: At participating stores from August 30th through September 12th.

Pokemon X and Y right around the corner!!!!!

Hey guys the games have a lot of hype now, and I myself can not wait to see what they have now came up with.  With them basically here I thought I would post a little "Summary" of what has been released.

• Fairies - New Type, and New moves.

1. Parting Shot
   Type: Unknown
   This move reduces an enemy Pokemon's Sp Atk and Atk stats before forcing the enemy Pokemon to retreat.
2. Parabolic Charge
   Type: Electric
   This move deals damage to all enemies in range on the field - including allies - and then heals the user by 50% of the damage dealt.
3. Boomburst
   Type: Normal
   This move deals damage to all enemies on the field, including any allies.
4. Moonblast
   Type: Fairy
   This move deals damage to an enemy Pokemon with a chance to reduce their Sp Atk.
5. Noble Roar
   Type: Normal
   This move lowers the Atk and Sp Atk of an enemy Pokemon.
6. Fairy Wind
   Type: Fairy
   This move is a powerful Fairy-type attack that summons a wind that attacks enemy Pokemon when they attack.

• New Pokemon + some old favorites are returning. (Not a completely new pokedex?) 

1. Talonflame (Japan: Flarrow)
   This is an evolution of the Pokemon Fletchling, which had been previously revealed. It is a Fire/Flying type Pokemon, and can learn the move Brave Bird.
2. Scatterbug (Japan: Kofukimushi)
   This is basically a new Caterpie for Pokemon X and Y, a Bug-type Pokemon that resembles a caterpiller. It was first revealed in CoroCoro's June issue.
3. Spewpa (Japan: Kofuurai)
   This is an evolution from Scatterbug and resembles a larger version of its predecessor clouded by what is presumed to be a white powder that acts as a carapace for the Pokemon. It is a Bug-type Pokemon.
4. Vivillon (Japan: Vivillon)
   Vivillion is the third and final evolution of Scatterbug and resembles Butterfree - even in its prior evolutions. It is a Bug/Flying type Pokemon and can learn the move Struggle Bug.
5. Noivern (Japan: Onvern)
   This Flying/Dragon type resembles a bat, but its earlier prevolutions are not yet known. It can learn a new move Boomburst, which I have detailed in the Moves section above.
6. Clauncher (Japan: Udebbou)
   This is a Water-type Pokemon resembling a blue lobster with an oversized claw, which can use the move Clawhammer.
7. Skrelp (Japan: Kuzumou)
   Skrelp is a 'psuedo seaweed' Pokemon and is designed to look like a rotting piece of kelp, which he supposedly uses to be ignored by prey before covering them in poison. Skrelp is a Poison/Water type Pokemon and uses the ability Sludge Bomb.
8. Litleo (Japan: Shishiko)
   This is a Fire/Normal type Pokemon and resembles lion cub. It was first revealed in the June issue of CoroCoro.
9. Flabébé (Japan: Furabebe)
   Though this Pokemon looks like it is actually a flower, the monster itself is the tiny Fairy creature sitting on top of the flower. Flabébé is a Fairy-type Pokemon that finds and protects a flower soon after its birth, which it stays attached to for its lifetime. It can use the ability Fairy Wind and was first revealed in CoroCoro's June issue.

• Poke Amie!!!!!!!!!
• Still only one save file!!!!

1. If you were hoping that Pokemon X and Y will change the series' tradition for only having one save file then you're about to be disappointed: it was revealed during E3 2013 that Pokemon X and Y will still only use one save file.

   Pokemon can be imported from previous save files, however, though it is not yet clear which games and how this will work.

• Sky Battles!
• Horde Battles!
• The possibility that EVs and IVs will now be more visible. --- Still haven't seen or heard much of this.

The release dates is Oct 12th ALL AROUND THE WORLD. Happy hunting everyone!

Twelve years since they won their first Super Bowl with Lewis and the defense leading the way, the Ravens finished off a surprising playoff run with a thrilling 34-31 victory Sunday night over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

If you plan to go downtown, don't forget your 3DS and street-pass with the ECPL Dark Gym Leader. It might be hard to spot him otherwise in the sea of purple.
