PAX West 2016, PPL 2016, West 2016 Leaders

Two more Leaders! Thomas and Clyde!

Thomas the Solo Fighter!

PPL---Thomas

After spending many unfulfilling years as a software programmer for the of the Devon Corporation in Hoenn, a freak accident with a new invention convinced Thomas that the world as he knew it was a simulation. He quit his job and set out to find the strongest Pokemon, hoping to one day to battle his way out of the simulated world. Although you’ll only need to defeat a single Pokemon to win, he will choose randomly between six strong Fighting types, so be ready for anything!
Show Thomas he’s not “The One” to earn the Neo Badge!

The Neo Badge

Clyde the Gym Guide!

PPL---Clyde

Clyde has spent the last several years under the employ of several local gym leaders, giving challengers tips and strategies to help them in their journey toward being the next Pokemon champion. Seeming to have a lot of free time, and a healthy travel budget, he always seems to be right where he is needed to give that one crucial tip to defeat the latest challenge. This year, he has decided to try his had at being a gym leader himself, using his knowledge of journeys past to test a new generation of trainer’s skill. Take him down with your knowledge of the POKEMON world and you’ll receive the Fresh Water Badge!

The First Two Leaders Revealed for PAX West 2016! Annie and Milo Thatch!

Annie the Child of Darkness!

PPL---Annie

 Wanna play? Tibbers and I are always looking for someone new to be our friend. Our last playmate wasn’t fire proof. I want a turn to make you burn! Dodge the flames and win the Playtime Badge!!

Milo Thatch the Gibberish Expert!

PPL---Milo

Upon returning from Atlantis Milo got back to what he loved most (other than Kida), translating dead languages. While deep in one of his study sessions, Mr. Whitmore stopped by and dropped a new journal on his desk. This journal contained a language that Milo had never seen before and this made him as excited as a small child at Christmas. When he asked Mr. Whitmore where he found this journal, he replied that he received it from a friend in Johto who has been spending a lot of time in the Ruins of the Alph. This friend needed an expert in gibberish to help him solve the ancient mysteries of the site and so Milo, with a barely contained grin, made his way to Seattle where another submarine was prepared to take him to a whole new world.
Milo comes from the depths of Atlantis. Come prepared to swim through the ocean and clear away some rocky ruins to make headway to win the Shepard Badge!
