Trivia

  • According to Erika, each PML Badge is handed out by more than one different PML Leader.
  • Hapu is the only known PML Leader who is not a Gym Leader.
    • She is also the only PML Leader who gives her badge to the player before battling them.
  • Red is indirectly responsible for the creation of the PML, as him defeating Lear before the events of Pokémon Masters EX was what inspired Lear to create the League in order to get another chance at beating him.
