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.

ECPL Trainer Card Creator
Challengers create ECPL Trainer Cards, which keep track of their battle team, badges, and other information. They are allowed to use 9 Pokemon for their quest.

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!
