Happy Birthday to the ECPL's Ground Gym Leader

Happy Birthday to the dirtiest Pokémon trainer of all time. The East Coast Pokémon League's very own Ground Gym Leader. A few years ago, for some unknown reason, GGL set off an Earthquake in the North East of the United States. Luckily I didn't have to Bulldoze my home. Let's keep him in good spirits this year. So make a Drill Run to the liquor store to buy him a Mud Shot. If you don't imbibe/condone alcohol, no worries. Just send him some warm wishes. I'm sure he'll still Dig it.

Happy Groundhog Day

Happy Groundhog Day from the people here at the ECPL. Looks like the Swinub has predicted 6 more weeks of winter. I know the Ice Gym Leader is happy.

Happy Halloween

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

	Swords, knives, and similar costume accessories should be short, soft, and flexible.
	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.
	Look both ways before crossing the street. Use established crosswalks wherever possible.
	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.
	Wear well-fitting masks, costumes, and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips, and falls.
	Eat only factory-wrapped treats. Avoid eating homemade treats made by strangers.
	Enter homes only if you're with a trusted adult. Only visit well-lit houses. Don't stop at dark houses. Never accept rides from strangers.

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!
