What is it?
Pokemon Crossfire, or PXFIRE for short, is PXR's very own version of the popular forum WAR competitions that have been held in the past. We know many people enjoyed WAR despite its issues, and the PXR admins have gotten together to discuss how we could create our own version that better fits PXR's community!

PXFIRE is a team game involving various contests. Members can submit entries, have them judged and earn points for their team. This year, we are incorporating the following events: drawing, graphic art, spriting, roleplaying, creative writing, comics, showdown battling, and humour. PXFIRE will also incorporate participation events such as puzzles and quizzes where points are awarded based on participation.

In contrast to WAR, PXFIRE aims to encourage participation from all forum members by awarding points for participating in events, as well as for winning! We hope to present you with a competitive but fun forum game! For our first attempt at this new event, everyone who signs up for PXFIRE will be randomly sorted into teams with equal numbers of players.

When is it?
Sign ups are open during the whole event. You can join anytime and will be randomly allocated to a team.

PXFIRE will officially begin on Sunday, July 2nd.
