The purpose of this thread is to serve as an announcement board, where The Gym League Administration is capable of announcing anything new to the public. This thread, however, will not be open for the public to comment on what has been announced; instead, the Gym League's Feedback & Response Board will serve such purpose.

• Gym #1: boberry2009 (Normal-type)
• Gym #2: Super Pichu62 (Electric-type)
• Gym #3: ~Whimsicott~ (Flying-type)
• Gym #4: Idno58 (Ice-type)
• Gym #5: Magmaster12 (Fire-type)
• Gym #6: ThePokeMan (Steel-type)
• Gym #7: Quadcentruo (Dark-type)
• Gym #8: TurtwigX (Grass-type)

• The first thing that was looked upon was each applicant's activity. Some applicants applied and never bothered to log in again, while others were the kind who would log in once every few weeks. Such applicants were eliminated from the list.
  
• We then looked at each applicant's maturity and capability of moderating his own gym. Most applicants showed positive attitude, but few lacked such ability and had to be eliminated from the list.
  
• A good number of teams shared the same type. Such teams were compared and only the stronger one was chosen.
  
• The fourth and final reason may be of interest to those who weren't chosen:

Announcement #3
Seven out of our eight gym leaders have already updated their signatures to include the Gym League's official banner. The eighth is in the progress of doing so. This action serves to identify these eight as part of the Gym League team. Now, you can easily spot them.

Announcement #4
Gyms are getting constructed now and will start to appear one after another. However, these gyms are closed, so please do not challenge any gym leader if the thread happens to be opened.

Announcement #5
All gyms have been constructed and all images have been fixed. They will open once the League is fully ready.

Announcement #6
Initially, we planned to open the League in the first week of November. However, AuraKshatriya and I realised how busy we will be by then, thus, we agreed to open the League earlier.

After looking at calender, it turned out that I will have a short, national holiday, starting from 24/10/2012 till 27/10/2012. Therefore, expect the League to open within these number of days.

Announcement #7
Gym League is now open. Please check the following threads:

• Gym League's Official Guide
• Gym League's Events & Tournaments Section
• Gym League's Certified Trainers List
• Gym League's Support Thread

Announcement #8
Gym Leaders are now allowed to challenge each other. Two instructions have been added to the guide. Please check them.

Announcement #9
Gym Leader #5, Magmaster12, has dropped out of the League due to his incapability of training his team to the required level margin. Thus, members are allowed to apply for his position instead. Anyone who is interested may apply in this thread.

Announcement #10
Our new gym leader is RotomGuy, who will serve as a Ghost-type gym leader. Congratulations to our new appointed gym leader; as for other applicants, please work harder and defeat this League to become Victory Road's Elite Four!

Announcement #11
Gym Leader #4, Idno58, has sadly decided to leave his position as a gym leader. His gym has been closed and brought down.

The Rotation Battles event will start in two weeks by the beginning of February. Everyone, be prepared!

Announcement #12
It is the month of February. Throughout this month, an event will take place, in which all battles must be 4vs.4 Rotation Battles. No need to make a new team, just enjoy the new style of battles!

Announcement #13
The new gym leader is Fallen Trainer. He will serve as a Fire-type gym leader. Congratulations!

Announcement #14
RotomGuy will serve as Gym #3.
Fallen Trainer will serve as Gym #4.

Announcement #15
Fallen Trainer had to leave the forums, and so, he left his position.

I hereby welcome the new 2014 VRGL gym leaders! I was particularly stuck between two applications for the same type; they were both well-made. One big thing I took under consideration among the apps was activity. I'll be sending the gym leaders more details around the time when Pokebank gets released worldwide. Again, the Gym League will not begin until 3 weeks after the bank gets released. (Good going Game Freak for trying to release the thing on Christmas)

• Gym #1: Rotomguy (Ghost-type)
  
• Gym #2: Tarellethiel (Fairy-type)
  
• Gym #3: TurtwigX (Grass-type)
  
• Gym #4: ThePokeMan (Steel-type)
  
• Gym #5: JDxImpetus (Fighting-type)
• Gym #6: Kakashidragon (Dark-type)
  
• Gym #7: Magmaster12 (Fire-type)
  
• Gym #8: Alakazamaster (Psychic-type)

With the Bank now released in Europe and North America, the gym league will officially start 3 weeks from now on February 27th.

Just a reminder: The league starts in a week from now, so gym leaders, please have your teams ready...PLEASE. If anyone has any issues with making their team, send me a PM.

Something else I should mention; the Fairy gym leader has been inactive for over a month, so it's likely that a new leader will be chosen. If Tarellethiel doesn't come on within the next 7 days, I'll reopen the application thread and a new leader will be chosen.

As of today, the X and Y Gym League is now open! Some gym leaders have valid reasons for not opening their gym today, so expect most of them to be open by this weekend. Besides that, have fun guys! Be sure to PM me if you have any questions.

ThePokeMan has resigned his gym leader position, so the application thread is back up and a new leader will be chosen.
