AssumptionPrime / January 9, 2019 / PAX Pokemon League History, PAX South 2019, PPL 2019, South 2019 Leaders

Happy, the Holiday Enthusiast!

Happy always looked forward to the holidays, so much that when ever he was asked which one if your favorite he would answer with “All of them!” His first Pokemon was a Delibird given to him as a Christmas present, and when he was able to go out on his own Pokemon journey, he only caught Pokemon that embodied each of his favorite holidays. Before long, he had a whole team that represented what he loved most about his favorite times of the year.

Mark your calendars for victory and earn the Celebration Badge!

Yazmina, the Fanciful Fairy Fashionista!

Oh the horror! The disgrace! The Riches beaten by a brat from Nuvema Town?! If only Yazmina was not overseas premiering her new line of poke-evening wear! Now it falls to Yazmina to restore the honor of my family name, The Riches. She will redeem their trampled honor by strutting over all challengers who dare to foolishly face the fanciful fairy fashionista! Ohohohohoho!

Prove your bearing to adorn the Magnolia Badge! Ohohohohoho!

Pika-chan, Featuring Pika and the Clones!

Like a thunderbolt to the heart or an aqua jet to the soul, beautiful idol Pika-chan is here to sing and dance her way to victory! Her adorable Pika-clone backup dancers will lend her a helping hand, and not just with electric moves! Don’t be surprised if they play rough! Hey…that one doesn’t look cute at all! Actually, it looks kind of creepy…

Show Pika your moves to earn the Celebrity Badge!

Gym Leaders With Jobs! Three More South Leaders Revealed! Steven Wolfe, Jade, and Howard!

AssumptionPrime / January 8, 2019 / PAX South 2019, PPL 2019, South 2019 Leaders

Steven J Wolfe, the Dog Trainer Extraordinaire!

Surrounded by dog Pokemon growing up, Steven found that they were best companions for him. Taking that cue, he went to work learning to become a world class dog trainer. With his dogs by his side, he’s out to prove that they can be more than household pets!

Show Steven who’s top dog to earn the Gimme Paw Badge!

Jade, the Gem-loving Jeweler!

Timeless, beautiful, and a girl’s best friend – that’s right, we’re talking precious rock Pokemon! Whether you’re looking for a giga-sized rock for your team or a perfect, legendary gem for your true love, every champ begins with Jade. She has ice in her wineglass and a fossil timepiece, but she won’t break your bank – just your winning streak!

Have her appraise your team as worthy and earn the Diamond Badge!

Howard, the Insomniac Night Shift Manager!

Howard got a job as a night shift hotel manager, but that turns out to be a pretty eerie place to work in a part of town where the Dark Pokemon come out. The glowing eyes peering in the windows used to give him the jitters, but the nightmares have mostly stopped now that he’s mostly stopped sleeping. In fact, he seems to have really bonded with the creepy Pokemon that come out to visit at night. Howard has taken a vacation day so trainers can challenge the things that go bump in the night!

Knock Howard out (and give him some much need rest!) to earn the Red Eye Badge!

PAX South Approaches! Leader Reveals Begin! Celeste, Kaido, and Ray Chandler!

AssumptionPrime / January 7, 2019 / PAX South 2019, PPL 2019, South 2019 Leaders

Celeste, the Avian Astronomer!

Isabelle’s not the only animal crossing over to explore beyond her town! Celeste is hanging up her telescope and spreading her wings to share her cosmic knowledge at PAX South. This little chickadee was inspired by the universe she studies and has trained a group of star-studded Pokemon to put to the test.

Knock her team out of this world to earn the Constellation Badge!

Kaido, the Kaiju Ranger!

The kaiju of Monster Island are here to make their presence known! These Kaiju razed the lands until the brave ranger Kaido and his companion, MechaGodzilla, tamed their ferocity. Scarred by the battle, Kaido now wears armor made from his companion’s steel. Kaido may look worn, but when backed into a corner, his key stone will glow, unleashing a dormant destructive force from within!

Rock the kaiju’s world, and bring them to the Ground to earn the Destroy All Monsters Badge!

Ray Chandler, Detective of the West!

It’s been 2 years since the UB case was put to bed and International Police Officer Looker has disappeared. Luckily, a new detective is on the case! Following his biggest lead yet, Ray Chandler takes to the streets. For his team, be ready for a threatening psychic vibe as well as some canine surprises. It’s going to be a great mystery, but one truth prevails!

Solve this mystery to uncover the Sleuth Badge!
