Hello dear trainers!

Are you excited for Malaysia's first Pokémon LARP??
Today I will share some information with you about PLAY! PokéLeague.

Before you start your adventure, you'll need your own Nintendo
3DS/3DSXL console and your Pokémon X/Y game.
Although not necessary, I would recommend becoming the Champion of the Kalos region before you embark on this League as the trainers you face may have already reached beyond this point in the Kalos region.

In this LARP, what's most important is your imagination and passion for Pokémon.
For the best experience, trainers are required to follow the play rules and although not necessary (but recommended!), to roleplay as your character.
Your character is you, a young trainer looking for a destiny to greatness.
So be the very best YOU (or if you choose to cosplay and play as that character, that's ok too)!

Now, I firmly believe in every trainer's ability to bring out the best in their Pokémon so in this League you may use any naturally obtained Pokémon whether by breeding, capture, transfer from another region or a gift from Nintendo in your team.
However be aware that sometimes your opponent may choose a battle mode like "Flat Battle" that restrict the use of certain Pokémon, so it is a good idea to prepare a variety of Pokémon to choose for your battles.

Just so you know, I frown upon modified Pokémon that have moves and abilities unnatural to them, and will remove your rights to participate if I hear of such abuse.

Now I'll talk about the Gym Leaders and Elite Four.
We will be providing a guide to help you locate them.
Gym leaders will be active from 12pm to 5pm.
Some are wandering around the hall, some like to stay in a spot, some may just be chilling at a canteen somewhere.
Look for them by asking around.
Some Gym leaders may give you a quest before you can challenge him/her.
You will need to get all 8 Gym badges before facing the Elite Four.

The Elite Four will start to accept challenges from 3pm to 6pm.
Defeating a member of the Elite Four will not be easy but you will be awarded a badge for your victory.
That's right, there will be *12* Badges to collect before one can claim the title of Champion.
Keeping the title will be tough as each trainer with 12 badges may challenge the reigning Champion to try and claim the title.
Once a Champion has lost to a challenger, he will relinquish the title to his challenger permanently, so do your best to hold the title until the LARP ends!

So there you have it.
It may be a lot to take in, but what's important is to have fun and enjoy Pokémon!

I hope to see you all at PLAY! Convention this June 28th.
I will be waiting.

You might want to use the official tournament rules unless you want to see legendaries all over the place. XD
