Professors, Professors
 
Every region comes with it's own Professor, each different in their own way. The one characteristic that keeps them together however is their names (Oak, Elm, Birch, and Rowan). They're all based off trees or plants of the sort. What name do you believe Isshu Region's professor will carry, and do you think it's possible the pattern may be broken with a new female professor?

I'm thinking Prof. Almus (...yeah, I did look that up. My dictionary on trees aren't very wide) XD; I'd like it to be a female professor, just to change things up a bit, but I'm probably leaning more to the fact that GameFreak may just use another male professor for this region.

Professor Pine

Why? Why Not?

colcolstyles May 16th, 2010 2:31 PM

I'd love to see a Professor Poplar. That would make my day.

JAK3 May 16th, 2010 2:32 PM

Professor Evergreen? Maybe a female Professor with green hair, Haha?

Raichupacabra May 16th, 2010 2:32 PM

Zeph. May 16th, 2010 2:35 PM

I like the name Professor Alder. It's a type of tree if I remember rightly...

Massai May 16th, 2010 2:35 PM

Good catch, but it may not have been a spoiler or easter egg, just a coincidence.

cobraman228 May 16th, 2010 2:37 PM

Prof. Holly, the sexy red headed female professor :P

MartinJF May 16th, 2010 2:38 PM

I was thinking of Proffesor Pine too :P
Professor Redwood?
Proffesor Teak?
Proffesor Mapple?

Hamilton May 16th, 2010 2:58 PM

A female named Prof Holly
EDIT; oh wow, someone beat me to it :P

Kon~ May 16th, 2010 3:00 PM

I seriously want a female professor this time around. I mean, four guys already? And Ivy was only in the anime, so she doesn't count.

Woman please!

GlitchCity May 16th, 2010 3:06 PM

Professor Ivy. xDD Well I really do hope for a female professor in this generation, it will have a different feel to the game. I bet they will study the creation of pokemon, where they came from.

Samme! May 16th, 2010 3:08 PM

Personally, I've always wanted there to be a female professor, and not one that just appeared in the Anime (Professor Ivy in the Orange Islands). But I just have a feeling that there isn't going to be one, though. But I got to choose the name, I wouldn't mind seeing something along the lines of Professor Satsuma, Professor Cypress, or Professor Willow.

But besides the gender and name, I wish the professor would have a more prominent role in the games. Maybe one that doesn't just sit in his/her lab all day and randomly calls you, but one that actually meets you at various points in the game and helps you out? I don't know, I just overall wish there was more involvement with NPCs. ^^;

Raichupacabra May 16th, 2010 3:11 PM

yea there shud be a female prof.
the males are getting boring
and she shud be sum1 who actually has a life and not a pokedex nerd

EmeraldSerenade May 16th, 2010 3:13 PM

Professor James.
He could have some sort of, how should I say this...charming aspect about him? That would be a bit interesting ^^

A female professor would be a nice change though.

Hamilton May 16th, 2010 3:14 PM

a professor that battles some Team _____ goons with you
seriously, a Prof. with their own team would be great

like a stratigest prof. who wants to study the tactics of rasing a battle pokemon?

Skystrike May 16th, 2010 3:55 PM

A female sounds good.
But a professor who...well...Iz the champion LOL

Izanagi May 16th, 2010 4:06 PM

I wonder what hte professor will expertise in. Oak seemed to be well rounded, Elm in Pokemon eggs, Birch, I don't recall, and Rowan in evolution. Maybe this one will relate to natures.

I think it was habitat and behaviour. Or was that just in the anime. >_>

As for the professor...

Considering I never cared about the professor, this one is no different.

Fun fact: Prof Oak was originally going to be the champion in R/B instead of Blue, but it was changed at the last minute. If one hacks the game, they can find he's got a programmed lineup of Tauros, Exeggutor, Arcanine, Gyarados, and his remaining starter from the start of the game. :P

Anyways, I never considered a female professor before (because everyone on the internets know women can't do science. XD), but it seems like a fun idea. I like the name Willow or Cypress. (as they're types of trees used in the names of areas close to where I live. XD)

Bloothump May 16th, 2010 4:16 PM

In my opinion, the male proffesors kind of seem... nerdy. All of them. It's like "I never dated in highschool so I spent all my time learning bout the pokemanz but now I suck at battling so I jsut wait in my lab for some children to arrive..." *heavy breathing*

I think we need, not a promiscuous, but a very atteactive, cool, collected female prof. And not an old one, on in her mid thirties. And yes, it'd be cool to see her in the field. Have some insight on what kind of team she might have. Maybe she could show you how to catch a pokemon, that could be one way to gather insight on her team. Anyway, I feel like a female professor would make the carreer itself ssem more like a success than a nerd's hobby. Not sure why.

Izanagi May 16th, 2010 4:17 PM

They've all got families though! Save for Rowan, that is.

Pityflame May 16th, 2010 4:19 PM

Professor Weed


best name ever.

Like that makes any difference xD I can see it now, roll up through town in a van, open the window... "Hey kid. Wanna get in the van? I've got real pokemon inside..."

Anyway, The name should be something like Willow or Cypress, because those two actually sound like last names. Evergreen is indeed a tree, but doesn't sound like a name.
