Doppler Radar the Weather Man

PPL---Doppler

What if mankind can control the sky? What if we could bend mother nature to our will? Imagine the possibilities! Forest fire? Bring out the rain! Torrential downpour? Part the clouds! Too hot or too cold? Never again! Think of all the possibilities! All the help we could bring. That’s all I’ve ever wanted… To help… But they laughed… Everyone laughed. Calling my research senseless and absurd. I’ll Show them! I’LL SHOW THEM ALL!! What ever the means… Overcome natures wrath and claim a Four Cast Badge!

Jose the PokeRanger

PPL---Jose

Something evil has come to the streets of Seattle! The Mighty Morphing Power Rangers are here to help subdue these dastardly villains but they need your help! They can handle any oversize monsters, but they are not exactly professionals when it comes to Pokemon battles. However, they need to make sure you, the challenger, are tough enough to stop the evil doer behind all of this mess. Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi! You’ll need the power of teamwork to overcome these teenagers with attitude and win the Ranger Badge!

Lucas the Boy from Nowhere!

PPL---Lucas

Lucas has lived a rough life growing up on the Nowhere Islands, with his family fracturing due to the attempts of a power-hungry tyrant and his pig-masked army trying to reshape the once quiet islands they all lived on. Through his adventure to try and put an end to the threat to save his home, Lucas discovered he possessed the power of PSI, allowing him to harness both incredible power as well as a deep connection with Psychic Pokemon. Lucas may be timid, but don’t let that fool you: the battles he’s been part of have made the mental toughness of him and his Psychic friends unbreakable. If you can shake off the effects of this PSI onslaught, the Needle Badge will be yours, along with Lucas’ friendship!

 Leaving the hustle and bustle of an office job for the valley life has done Nienla good. In between tending to her crops and raising livestock, this spring chicken is accepting challengers. BUT, you better get to her before her energy runs out…Will you harvest a victory, blossom into a better trainer or cry until the cows come home? Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket if you want to defeat Nienla’s team to earn the Stardew Badge!

Gonzo the Psychicdelic Hippie

PPL---Gonzo

Gonzo, a far out trainer from the Kalos region, has been traveling through different regions exploring them and what they have to offer. In his travels, he came across psychic type Pokemon and became extremely fascinated with them. From then on his travels have consisted of him collecting more psychic Pokemon, meditating with those Pokemon, and battling to grow closer to them. Because of his fascination with the powers of his Pokemon he obtained the title of the Psychicdelic Hippie. You will have to send some pretty dark vibes his way to obtain yourself the Psychicdelic Badge.

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!

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!

/ / PAX West 2016, PPL 2016, West 2016 Leaders

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!!

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!

We would first like to thank all our gym leaders for the hard work they do to help make the PPL a success every year.

But other acknowledgments must be made as well!

We would like to thank our artist Lilia (cypressphoenix) for getting all the art done in such a short amount of time. If you’d like to check out some of Lilia’s other work or commission her please click here!

(We are currently working on a credits page for all our artists over the years so please stay tuned for that!)

A big thanks to Morganstern for helping design a lot of the badges this year without us even asking. You’re the best!

Thank you to the Diversity Lounge at PAX for hosting our table. You guys are one of my favorite things at PAX and we felt honored to be among the tables this year.  We hope we can be there again next year!

And a BIG thanks to Kim (nyankokimi) and Propriety for helping and showing us the ropes as admins! (Also helping us with the small emergencies that came up.)

Also a big thanks to all the dedicated challengers who look for those elusive green scarves every year. You guys are why we do this every year at all the PAXes.

We hope to see you soon!

Frances and Ryan (RoxasEmoQueen and DoubtedCarrot)

PS: The Hall of Fame for Prime 2015 will be posted by the end of the week.

(PPS: Propriety here. I want to personally give a huge thanks to Admin Frances and Admin Ryan, who stepped up to make PPL Prime happen and did a wonderful job. They did so much work!!! Everyone please thank them too. <3)
