I like the idea of that. She could study the relationship between Pokémon and plants.

Enough alliteration for ya? Now I want Prof. Pine.

It's never enough!
If they didn't do a professor at all.. I really think that would be really interesting. They are changing a lot this time around, after all. I wouldn't be surprised. Buuut, of all things to change, I doubt this is one of them.

Who would give out the starter Pokémon and Pokédex then?

[PokémonShinySilver]

I really would think that there should be the region's Professor giving out new trainers their starter Pokémon. It's happened in every other game, it'll happen the same in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. ;)

I dunno, maybe someone more personal, like a relative who was a well known trainer back in the day... Like I said, doubt it would happen, but I like to think of new things haha.

Yeah, change is good. I think that would be great idea, but I get the feeling that they're going to use the generic Professor idea.

[vaporeon7]

I'm fine with a Professor, as long as they're not like Rowan, I didn't like him much.

[pokemonmasteraaron]

I just hope the game doesn't get screwed up by game freak. It seems so promising ATM.

Maybe they will change up the whole professor giving the Pokemon idea up, like say the player has been anticipating getting their new Pokemon for ages, much like Ash in the anime. You wake up on the day you get your starter, only to find the lab is in chaos! Aids are frantically running outside and you come running in and see the professor standing by a broken window. The Pokemon took a run for it! The professor is distraught and takes the player and the rival to the lab's Pokemon reservation area. The professor hands both of you a Pokeball. You see Pokemon tracks going in several directions. Now time to choose, will you go look for the water Pokemon by the pond area? the grass in the wooded area? or the fire by the mountain area? This leads to you catching the starter you chose to chase down. Woot. :D

Sorry, I get carried away sometimes haha.

[vaporeon7]

I just hope I don't have to sit through some tutorial at the start, those are so tedious.

I'm not going to lie, that's a really impressive idea.

[Sydian]

I will cry my eyes out if we get another hand holding tutorial like in BW. Seriously...

If they want to include one they could at least make it optional.

[PokémonShinySilver]

They would have to put one in so that the new people that are playing the game would learn how to use the controls and learn about how the game works.

There is no reason why it couldn't be optional though. Game Freak knows a lot of old fans will buy it.

Thank you I think it'd be pretty neat.

Heck, people that started on Red/Blue didn't get tutorials. If anything they can put that screen in like on FireRed/LeafGreen that explains the controls a bit and whatnot. That way you only have to press A like twice haha.

[Mr. X]

Apparently, Bianca is going to make a appearance in X/Y.

"Alright, class, this is your last day here, as you know. However, you all get to choose a Pokémon, and this will be your turn to get into the world and show everyone just what you're made of!"

Your rival is in your class. And picks the starter strong to yours. As usual.

Because that involves more programming that takes other code out, possibly eliminating a feature. Though a Yes/No prompt should do the trick, but yeah...

Wow, Chespin in the form of Bianca, eh? Yeah, very similar. lol

But nah... I think there'll be someone entirely new that would be giving out starter Pokémon, whenever it would be a Professor or someone new.

[Oshamaru]

Chespin´s Evolution line:

Spoiler:

As for the Professor, what about Alpine? Pine doesn´t sound too good.

[Sydian]

Alpine sounds nice! More for a female than male imo though. idk why. It just sounds more feminine.

[Forever]

Yeah I like that. But seems more appropriate for a snowy area, rather than where these games appear to be set tbh. :(

[CycloneGU]

Generation VII - set in Alaska. Meet Professor Alpine!

(Yeah, right.)

Cyclone

[PokémonShinySilver]

Actually, Professor Alpine sounds like a great name for a Professor, probably this generation's professor might even be female, who knows? :o

[Zupplu]

I thought it would be cool, combing the two ideas above together. Your Mum or someone close could give you your Pokemon, but there could be a professor and when you encounter him/her and they go to give you a Pokemon you could say you've already got one or something like that.
