Tower Tycoon Palmer (Japanese: タワータイクーン クロツグ Tower Tycoon Kurotsugu) is the leader of the Battle Tower in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, and the Frontier Brain of the same facility in Pokémon Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver. He is Pearl's father. Palmer is very similar to his son in look and character, as he's always in a rush. Just like the player and Pearl did, he once went to a lake with the player's father, got his starter Pokémon there, and was attacked by wild Pokémon.

Quotes
First battle
Before the battle:
"Hi! My name's Palmer. I remember you from when you were in Twinleaf, [player]. You were always playing with my son [name], right? You’ve grown up since then, and most impressively, too! So, I'd like you to show me. Show me the bond you’ve built with your Pokémon. Show me the skill you've acquired as a Trainer!"
After the battle:
"Losing to an outstanding Trainer like you... I can live with that."
"Bravo! One day, I imagine my son will come challenge me just as you have. That’s something I look forward to a great deal. You will become even more skilled the very same way your father did. Keep battling Trainers from around the world and keep growing greater in stature!"
Second battle
Before the battle:
"So, you've come this so far! As the Tower Tycoon, I'll have to give you my best effort. That's how the best Trainers show respect to each other. By Battling all out as dedicated students of Pokémon!"
After the battle:
"Losing to an outstanding Trainer like you... I can live with that."
"Bravo! I feel inspired in my heart! It brings back a memory of that day long ago... I went out to the lake with your father that day... We were attacked by a wild Pokémon. We fended it off, but I don't recall how. It was that desperate. That was my first step as a Trainer. I wonder if the professor is doing well? ...That's enough reminiscing. My young friend, the world and your future hold infinite promise. Go on, you can be all that you desire! There is no limit to where you can go!"
In the anime
Palmer has a cameo appearance at the beginning of Arceus and the Jewel of Life, in a battle against Cynthia.
Palmer makes his first real appearance in DP140 where he meets up with his son, Barry. In DP141, he held a tournament in order to see what Trainer was strong enough to battle him. Ash won that tournament and had his battle with Palmer. Even though Ash lost the battle, Palmer still gave him a trophy as recognition for completing the tournament.
Palmer later told Ash about the next gym being at Sunyshore City and hinted about the Gym Leader of Sunyshore Gym, Volkner.

Trivia

- Interestingly, he was battling Cynthia herself in his first anime appearance, in the cameo at the beginning of the twelfth movie.
