Professor vs Professor
 
Between the two series -- HG and DPpt, which series' Professor did you like better? A pretty simple question, but an interesting question I'd like to hear answers for! Was it Sinnoh's Professor Rowan, and his white moustache? Or perhaps Johto's wacky Professor Elm? The choice is up to you! Which do you choose?

I prefer Professor Elm over Professor Rowan, simply because I love Professor Elm's wacky character. I found Professor Rowan a bit too serious, and his character in the anime I didn't think was as likable as Professor Elm's.

I liked Professor Rowan better, because I liked how he was serious and stern. He was different to the other professors. And i liked his moustache ;)

MrRocket515 July 21st, 2012 4:40 PM

I like Elm over Rowan because Elm always had better starters

T!M July 21st, 2012 6:37 PM

Rowan, mainly because he was just so... prophetic. He knew that the main character of DPPt would turn out to be great, long before the end of his journey. I thought that was pretty amazing.

Prof. Elm <3 Not only because I prefer the 2nd gen over the 4th, I also prefer Elm's wacky personnality.
Professor Rowan isn't as interesting, he's in some ways a cliché professor, with his white moustache, serious personnality and so on.

I like Professor Rowan because of his serious and kind personality. It's also hilarious that he has a sweet tooth too.

Perriechu July 23rd, 2012 7:24 AM

I prefer Rowan over Elm. Rowan is more helpful and takes the time to travel around a bit. I totally forgot about Elm whilst playing HG/SS you meet him at the beginning, have a conversation after you win the Pokemon League and then that's it. ;;

Professor Elm for me :) I feel more attached to him cause he was the professor in the first ever game I played :)

bobandbill July 23rd, 2012 3:57 PM

Rowan; he seemed far more like a professor should be to me, and I preferred his personality. Elm was just too...well, dumb for my liking. Consider this; he has a wife and child and yet had no idea where Pokemon came from and was astounded by the idea of an egg. Sure, part of that is to do with the Pokemon way of avoiding the whole existence of sex ('I have no idea where this egg came from!') but nonetheless...

I went with Rowan, he's more professional and I like Sinnoh better than Johto. He knew the DPPt protagonist would turn out be a good Trainer.

Katie the Friendly Ghost July 23rd, 2012 6:23 PM

Prof. Rowan looks like one of my professors haha. And I didn't like him. Rowan's ok though. I can't really choose between a professor because I really just ignored them both. Ignored the Pokedex, the Togepi Egg, everything they said lol.

diab_low July 23rd, 2012 7:43 PM

I Picked Elm as he was my first Professor and my favourite fire type is from him lol

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ July 27th, 2012 3:09 AM

Rowan looks more like a professor, plus he's not scatterbrained and actually steps out of the lab sometime (like in the Canalave library). It struck me odd as to how Elm even became a professor and certainly he's not one of the more memorable ones.

So Rowan for me.

I liked Elm because I can relate, judging from his concept art he's a pretty disorganized guy, and like you said he's wacky which is kinda like me from time to time to time

Affliction July 27th, 2012 6:03 AM

Elm cause he's better, and helped me get my favourite Pokemon (Typhlosion).

Elm also cause he's cooler.

TrainerBliss July 27th, 2012 12:19 PM

Well since I never played the Diamond/Pearl games, imma gonna have to go with Elm. Besides, Typhlosion is my favourite Pokemon.

Heh, Elm is so unmemorable that I honestly thought Oak was still the main professor during Johto! :P So I'd have to go for Rowan in this scenario. He seemed quite professional and professor-y, and I can actually remember his name, which is a definite benefit.

Affliction August 6th, 2012 8:34 AM

Basically, the only Professors I never saw were Professor Birch and Professor Juniper.

Snowdrop August 9th, 2012 9:11 AM

I chose none, I didn't find either of them particularly memorable to be honest.

If I remember correctly, Elm was once one of Professor Oak's assistants. Then he became a Professor of Johto. Although I'd say Professor Oak and Elm are pretty much a tie.

JaySawn August 9th, 2012 11:25 AM

None ; professor oak will always be my choice

I like his personality , the fact that he was the professor to give Ash his 1st pokemon ( not to mention one of the best trainers alive :O ) Pikachu! , and awesome voice actor!


Alright so I like professor juniper cause she's cute... >.<

chella182 August 10th, 2012 7:00 AM

For some reason I've clicked "None" on the poll, but I'd probably say Elm out of the two. I just never liked the professors past Johto tbh.

Bourne-mouth August 18th, 2012 9:52 PM

I'd say both. I never cared about which Professor shows up on my face everytime I start a new journey.
