Professor Forsythia, the Pika-Clone Scientist!

Professor Forsythia is a geneticist studying Pikachu and other Pokémon that act or look similar to Pikachu that are considered “Pika-clones”. Forsythia has a lot of questions she is currently trying to answer for her research: are these “Pika-clones” really clones of Pikachu? And if not, why do people refer to them as such? Why are most of them Electric-type Pokémon but some are not?

Help Professor Forsythia with her research and win yourself the Chu-DNA Badge!

Prof. Wattieza, the Primal Historian!

After years of studying fossils, Prof. Wattieza has become the leading expert of ancient Pokémon. Once the technology to resurrect these Pokémon came to be, a new field revealed itself: the study of how these Pokémon battled! 

Can you overcome their primal might and win the Paleo Badge, or become ancient history?

Roxas, the Over-Caffeinated Admin!

Admin Roxas retired from battling due to the stress of running the PAX Pokémon League. However, with each passing year the urge to battle has grown. Now with a smaller league and a lot more coffee, Admin Roxas has decided to pick up the battle mantle again. 

Overcome the aroma of coffee and earn the Caffeinated Badge!

Cynthia?? The Supposed Sinnoh Champion!

Someone claiming to be the Sinnoh Champion has joined the League! Their Pokémon may be different than the last time you faced them, but they’re claiming it’s because this is their ultimate team; they’ve also promised us that they’re absolutely not an imposter. Show this definitely not suspicious, absolutely the Sinnoh Champion that you have what it takes to challenge the PPLO.

Battle this almost familiar foe to get the Teardrop Badge!
