Nearly every Pokemon region is spearheaded by a Pokémon Professor. An acadeꦆmic, quirky, intelligent type, these people have dedicated their lives to a field of study and are, us🐷ually, the first people you meet on your Pokémon adventure.

They know everything you need to know about a . Many times, a Professor has given Trainers their♑ first Pokémon to help you begin your adventure in the fir♏st place.

14 Professor G🅺rand Oak ไ

The worst Professor in this list. Professor Grand Oak masquerades as the Developer of Pokémon Home, which, by itself, sounds i🦩mpressive. But the long hair and funky glasses can’t distract from the fact nobody knows who he is.

He hides behind the name Oak so players don’t question his auth🦋ority on Pokémon. He says that his dream is to “create an absolutely grand Pokédex by registering all the Pokémon that exist i🎐n the world!” which is just the motive of every trainer.

13 𒊎 Professor Willow 🤪

Professor Willow is the friendly face Trainers work with in the world of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon Go. He gives players tasks to help him with his research on Pokémon geography, which just sounds like a budget Professor Birch. H🐈is dream is to analyze uncharted territory and document where new Pokémon live. With this description, it sounds like he would much rather be a Hiker than a Professor.

The moral ambiguity of where the Candy comes from after you hand over Pokémon to him for ‘research’ also p🌜uts him pretty low on this list. A smart Professor would’ve avoided this ♏PR crisis.

12 Professor Kukui𝐆

After 25 games, it’s impressive that Game Freak is able to come up with new ideas for Pokémon res🐬earch. Professor Kukui specializes in Pokémon attacks, which is an interesting field of study. However, he sometimes throws himself into the path of an attack to study the moves. Any good researcher knows that Health and Safety are of the utmost importance when conducting field research. Not to mention the ethics of this - the Pokémon may be holding back their power.

11 ไ Professor Birch

The Hoenn Professor specializes in the study of Pokémon habi𒊎tats alongside human existences. This sounds like a degree in Climateogly, which is fitting given Generations 3’s themes.

Professor Birch is your go-to man when it comes to all things Climate-wise, but the man can’t handle a level 3 Poochyena. For a Professor who pri🍌des himself on his field research, he shouldn’t have to rely on a local child to save him.

10 ꦚ Professor Samson Oak

Otherwise unf𒅌airly known as “💎Alolan Oak”, Professor Samson Oak studies Regional variants in the Alola region. He’s the cousin of Professor Samuel Oak, but sadly, he’ll never quite reach the level of the OG Oak.

Studying Regional variants is a wor🅠thy cause but, at the end of the day, it’s essentially the equivalent of a High School diploma in Biology.

9 ♊ Professor Aurea Jꦿuniper

Her specialty is the study of Pokémon origins in relation to mythology. Unova focuses on mythology and Pokémon lore, which m🐬akes her a perfect Professor for this region. She’s clearly excited by her work and is almost meta-aware of the fact that being around Pokémon all day is fun. Sadly, her work lacks concrete analysis - her research couldn’t tell the player how to re🐟surrect the legendary Reshiram or Zekrom.

8 Profess🍨or Bellis 🐲

Professor Bellis is the Professor in the region of Pas🧸io, the setting of Pokémon Masters. She is an expert when it comes to the relationship between Pokémon and sync stones. You can tell how passionate she is about her work because she won’t stop talking when the subject of sync pairs arises. She can also speak multiple languages, including Japanese and French. To be able to speak fluently about your subject area in a different language is pretty smart.

7 Professor Rowan 🌳 ❀

The Pokémon equivalent of Charles Darwin, Professor Rowan is the leading expert voice on Pokém⛎on evolutionary patterns. You think this would make him the smartest Professor in the Pokémon Universe, but he’s got some tough competiti🔯on.

Whilst it takes a lot to study Pokémon evolutionary patterns, and Rowan has certainly dedicated a number of years to it, it essentially boils down to recording which Pokémon evolves into what, which is b🥂asically what a Trainer does.

6 👍 Professor Samuel🐎 Oak

The Kantonian Professor, whose work is credited wit♔h starting it all. Specializing in the study of relationships between people and Pokémon, this Professor is nothing short of a celebrity in the world of Pokémon. His research formed the basis of lots of other Professors’ work - many Professors who came after explicitly studied underneath him.

5 💖 Professor Augustin♎e Sycamore

Pokemon Professor Sycamore with one hand raised

The Brooklyn-style babe of the Pokémon Universe. Professor Sycamore heralds from the Kalos region and specializes in studying "Mega Evolution.". Mega Evolution was first discovered in X and Y by Sycamore and is one of the only region-specific ‘gimmicks’ to return in later Generations. This makes Professor Sycamore’s work influential across the Pokémon world. It’s also mentioned in Pokémon Sun and Moon by Dexio and Sina that he was the one 🐭who😼 discovered the Zygarde Cube.
