New ECPL Site

Attention ECPL trainers and Gym Leaders.

You may be asking "Where did the forum go?", or "How do I make one of those trainer cards?"
Your questions will be answered in this post.
Introducing the NEW and improved ECPL site: http://ecpl.orgfree.com

ECPL Main Page
This is the ECPL site that brings the all ECPL sites together.

ECPL Forum
This forum provides another venue to communicate with trainers and gym leaders in the ECPL, post battle videos, find battle partners, and just keep up with general pokechat. The forums will also make it easier to keep track of any challengers who rise to battle the ECPL gym leaders and their progress.

Interview with Mike TV, Ground Gym Leader

[removed until GGL finishes his job hunt]
We Decided at ECPL we haven't had much actual pokemon strategy talk recently, so starting today, we will be posting interviews with the gym leaders. We had a late night sitdown with our very own Ground Gym leader to discuss battle strategies, and find out who his personal favorite pokemon is.

Enjoy!

Dark-Fighting-Rock

Hello all, I've created Trainer Cards for the gyms I'm associated with, Dark, Fighting, and Rock, and posted the images below. Officially I'm only the leader of the Dark Gym, but I suppose until further notice I'll be serving as leader of the other two. The cards shown below highlight the pokemon & items you may encounter although I reserve the right to use trained Dark, Fighting, and Rock pokemon who may not appear on the respective card. When you defeat any of these teams you'll be award the Corona Badge (Dark), Title Badge (Fighting), or Asteroid Badge (Rock). I can be contacted using the ECPL Administration email address: ecpladmin@gmail.com

The distribution will end June 25.
This Route allows players to capture Pokémon with moves they cannot normally learn by leveling up, such as a Munchlax with Selfdestruct or a Horsea with Muddy Water. Several items useful in battle are also available. This Route was initially available to players of the Japanese versions of HeartGold and SoulSilver from Oct. 17 to Dec. 17, 2009 and from Jan. 13 to 27 earlier this year.
