[Spoiler]Akuroma
 
I think this new professor spells trouble. He looks like an evil scientist. The colors under his lab coat appear to be Team Plasma colors.

And don't forget, Genesect, who was created by Team Plasma scientists as it says in his Pokedex entry- is to be revealed at some point in these games, whether in game or in an event.

I'm convinced that this will be the return of Team Plasma.

It was mentioned that he studies Pokemon Strength. That's exactly what Team Plasma did to Genesect...made it modified into a much stronger Pokemon.

I think this is going to be a massive theme in BW2.

BW1 focused on the ethics of owning/battling with Pokemon. BW2 appears to be focused on the genetic modification of Pokemon... I mean look at the mascots...fused Pokemon forms!

Kano Shuuya April 13th, 2012 5:20 PM

His hair scares me, and I think he'll be evil.. I know there were ideas of him either being part of Plasma, or the new Professor, but I don't think either one has been confirmed? I can't wait to see what they do with him. It would be neat (though it won't happen!), if he were to be part of a previous villain team. Rocket, Magma, etc..

If he is the main professor, I wouldn't trust him with that role. >_>

Less convinced by this given the fact if thy wanted to focus on him with Genosect then surely it should have been the event legendary announced during B2W2 info, not Meleotta?

I did think on first impressions that he might be evil, but looks can be deceiving after all. I'll be content to wait and see on what he actually does as well as clarification on what he actually does in the game - Pokemon Strength can mean a lot of things when you think about it.

PaxAmericana April 13th, 2012 5:37 PM

The new antagonist or professor has the evil glimmer surrounding him, so I really feel he will be an evil guy.

Well it's very possible, they may release a Wi-Fi item sometime later that could lead to this. For example, Celebi was released almost a year after HGSS yet it led to something. We just have to wait for Serebii to go into the game data and see if there's any special data.

Jellicent♀ April 13th, 2012 9:13 PM

I like him! I don't trust him, but I like him. He seems to be younger, which is pretty refreshing after having all the old bags send you across the nation. He seems like he'll be just as active as Juniper, which I like. Maybe he's a relative of hers?

Yes, that's true, but I feel it unlikely for them to introduce this new character now and not couple it with an in-game wifi event at release but only further down the line. I'm not saying we won't maybe get an event or something for Genosect, but I question it being related to this guy at this stage because we know very little about what he really does.

I really hope he isn't the professor. :( I just want him to be an evil scientist. If he's not I'll be very disappointed. I also hope his hideout is in Dreamyard and he's discovered later when that part is unfrozen. :3;

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ April 14th, 2012 6:44 AM

Oh man, I hope the evil professor is THE professor. Having that would be awesome and a nice change of pace from the professor who's a goody-goody. I've always liked the idea of an evil professor, and it might actually happen this time around xD

Bluerang1 April 14th, 2012 7:12 AM

I love him! He's cool, is wearing blue and black, and that streak! He might turn out be be evil as he has a suspiciousness about him but I like that.

RedJ April 14th, 2012 7:33 AM

Hmm...maybe he's NOT actually evil, but was a former member of Team Plasma, and part of his research is being used to cause whatever's going on in Unova, or something like that.

Pkmn Trainer Touko April 14th, 2012 9:47 AM

Akuroma is described by the trailer as "Foe? Friend? A mysterious character."

I'm pretty convinced he's bad news. But he's very attractive!

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire April 14th, 2012 12:28 PM

I read a theory that Akuroma may be researching Kyurem as his name means colorless...and if so who knows what he may want to use it for...he could be Ghetsis' new lacky...
Though he doesn't look all that evil to me, he might be our new N, a confused character.

Zelda April 14th, 2012 2:13 PM

I love the fact that there's a chance the new professor will be evil and secretive. This has never happened before. The professor will definitely be more interactive throughout the game too, and it creates a huge change. It is time that GameFreak lets go of some generic things that repeat in every mainstream game. Instead of Akuroma teaching us how to throw a Pokéball, he'll be scheming up his own plans. That is, if he's what we make him out to be.

I admire this character already.

I admire this character already.

If he is, then he really resembles the Mayor in Pokemon Colosseum. Playing the innocent victim and then revealing that he was the enemy the entire time. I'm really excited about his character, whether or not he is evil or not, I'm eager to see how his role plays out.
His hair is probably the most ridiculous though, and yes, that blue part is his hair.

What's this book he's holding? Perhaps legends of Kyurem, Reshiram and Zekrom?

The book looks like something Ghetsis had.

Jellicent♀ April 14th, 2012 4:02 PM

It looks like Akuroma has a much bigger role than we had anticipated, as shown by the promotional video showing him entering onto a stage that appeared to be televised. I'm guessing he's more of a celebrity, now.

Ho-Oh April 14th, 2012 5:51 PM

If he is a celebrity, does that mean he'll likely end up doing what Ghetsis did and kinda brainwash everyone into liking him...?

Maybe he did something really good, and then something went corrupt with him and as a result he's evil, but everyone thinks he's a good guy so they listen/do what he says. :3

I like this idea. A lot. Maybe he already has convinced everyone to like him already and his hair? Maybe he convinces people that he's doing the right thing (a little more effectively than Ghetsis, mind you) and they all give him millions of dollars and make him rich, which he then uses the money to build technology to help him do his evil plan!
-gasp-
I'm excited. <3

Seems wickedly scheme-ish to me. u_u Akumora looks really arrogant too, so I can imagine him showing off to many people, and they admire it. BUT LITTLE DO THEY KNOW. and so little we know too

That would make him more awesome imo. Like, Giovanni (money wise) meets Cyrus (technology wise) meets Ghetsis (in the sense that he tries to make people think he's a good guy).

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire April 14th, 2012 8:06 PM

^ Meets Archie, Maxie, and N too if his intentions are fof the betterment of the world.

Also note that Akuroma spells Akuma when the ro is removed...and Akuma means demon!

wombateiro April 14th, 2012 11:26 PM

I think he could be the leader of that military looking new team (if they really are new team). He could have created some kind of disaster, use that team to show how they are fighting with with disaster and use media to make people think he and his team are heroes saving the day.

That's really interesting. If he was (like someone else brought up) able to manipulate people and gain charity (which would pay for his plans), he could have used a bit more of the original funds to actually cause some kind of disaster, undercover obviously, and then 'stop it' to win a serious amount of the population over, thus making him look like a hero while he plans even bigger things.

Yeah, probably overthinking, but ah well. This is something really crazy to think over, haha.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire April 15th, 2012 11:54 AM

That book he is holding seems old, my guess is that it was discovered in the newly rebuilt ruins and details the full legend of the dragons.

Perhaps he uses the fu ds to unearth an ancient item that will allow him to control Kyurem and take over the region like Ghetsis before him dreamed of minus the unnecessary taking people's Pokemon.
