I have never had an academy board be nothing but fair, so I am sure there will be no issue there.

Thanks again to everyone that applied. If you did not get selected, well you can blame Kurt.

No basically the process was, well first we took all the applicants and Kurt, Tani, and I listed our PROs and CONs for each. Which most of the final decisions came down to how much we knew about the applicant. A lot of those applying I did not know a lot about.

I guess what I am trying to say is, be active on the site he-he. I am sorry though, most of what I knew about members came from the academy and gym battles, so that leaves me only knowing talents and not the person.

Thanks again for your interest and we will be working on getting all the lowercase j's dotted and t's crossed for the next semester.

An update of what the board has been doing. The student rules and requirements have been updated. In the requirements section the way reports should be PM'd has been adjusted. There has been 2 rules added to the list so far.

Now on to what is going on with the next semester.

There is currently 3 ideas being floated around.

Ideas

1. Poké Academy Gym Edition
   • Basically an advanced version of the Breeders & Battlers.
   • We will focus on helping people get a start in collecting their badges.
2. Basic Breeders
   • An intro to breeding and starting a farm.
3. Advance Breeding
   • An add-on to the basic breeding semesters.
   • I really have no clue how we could teach an advance class. If you learn the basics, then perfecting your craft would be up to the individual to want to do. Not much we can do here.

The board has been working hard on this, well mainly Kurt, but we never give him credit he-he.

The Battling Arts is going to be merged in with the Poké Academy. The PA will pick up one board member from the BA, welcome aboard cowmoo.

We are still working on the next semester, but I can tell you that we will be bringing back and old classic. We will be having another semester of Breeders & Battlers, with some twist. This will be a gym edition semester. We will be helping battlers learn to prepare for battling the gym system. Also for the breeders, you will not be required to breed the same Pokémon as the battling students. We will still be teaching the basics in farming.

We will be making some very exciting announcements soon, but until then if you are interested, please look over the requirement section to see what you will need to be a member.
