Which Pokemon Prof?

All new Pokemon trainers could use a little help. Which pokemon professor would you prefer to learn from?

If you had the chance to pick a mentor just like you pick your starter then who would be the right one to work with you? Oak, Elm, Birch, Rowan, Juniper, Sycamore or Kukui. The choice is yours.

If you really want someone not from the main series games like Professor Willow or Ivy then I guess that's fine too!

Birch, definitely. He was always a doer, studying the habitats of pokémon and being able to give me good hints about where to find pokémon. And he's also a good father so he'd be keen on helping me out and be patient with me hopefully.

These are some cool choices so far.

Of the professors I'm familiar with I think Professor Sycamore would be nice. It came down to either him or Prof Juniper. They are of a somewhat similar ilk. They are not just bright minds but are also free-spirited with some youthful vigor that you would not get from say Prof Oak.

Because Sycamore's one of the most involved professors story-wise I feel as though he loves and nurtures the trainers who come to him a bit more, and really gives you a beautiful send-off at the end of XY.

He's this cool, classy guy doing some of the more ambitious research out of there-- unlocking the mysteries of mega evolution. He's the first prof in the main series who will battle you to keep you on your toes. The man is even awesome enough to even have a Garchomp hanging out with him in his lab.

Professor Oak, because he's the OG. :P

But I would rather be a student of Fantina, since she uses the Ghost-type. :D (I realize she's not a professor)

Professor Juniper due to being the first female professor in game and is from unova.

Rowan is my choice. He's wise, and doesn't play favorites like Oak, and also isn't as absent-minded as Elm.

Elm, only because I would take his starter pokemon and hightail out of his lab.

Birch because he doesn't study inside a building, and in the beginning he's getting chased around so we would probably get into a lot of funny situations.

Juniper! Maybe I'm biased due to my love for Unova, but I like her cheerful, breezy sort of attitude, and...I don't know, she just seems like somebody I'd interact with in real life, somehow. Plus, she was willing to take Bianca under her wing, who is...more similar to me than I want to admit. XD

Rowan no contest

he dosent play favorites (oak)
he isnt absent minded (elm)
he dosent spend far too much time in the field (birch, kukui, juniper to an extent)
he actually acts like a professor rather than a bland nobody that could easily be replaced by any random npc (sycamore)

he's firm but fair, he's happy to put young trainers on their journey if their intentions are pure, he's chosen to study one of the most mysterious aspects of pokemon and he hits the right balance of field work and lab work.

Professor Juniper, Rowan, or Sycamore. I've always loved Juniper, as she's almost a motherly figure, and I admire her youthful and energetic spirit.

Sycamore is similar to Juniper this way, he's very friendly, and personally I would love to learn about Pokemon in a place as grand as Lumiose City. He also is very involved with his 'students' if you will, and he genuinely cares about them.

Rowan, he's is full of knowledge and wisdom, which I admire and Pokemon Pearl was my very first game so learning from him would bring up a lot of nostalgia. :)

But really, all of the professors are unique and amazing, these ones just happen to be my favourites.

Professor Rowan is my favourite of all the professors. He is grizzled and stern, having devoted his life to his research, and as a result has no respect for those who waste his time (such as Team Galactic grunts), though he does help those who work for their dreams, showing that he can be kind.
His appearance makes him seem almost scary, like an old lion, but that only helps highlight his wisdom. You respect what he has to say due to his seniority.
He is a lot like his region Sinnoh: quite cold and formidable. Unlike other video game professors, he isn't overly friendly with you - you only met at the beginning of the game - but he still congratulates you at the Hall of Fame.
I also find his research on evolution the most interesting (after all, everyone loves evolution.) It seems much more mystical and alien than other Professors' research, such as Kukui's research on Pokemon moves.
He also treats Dawn/Lucas very well, so based on all that I've said, I'd probably enjoy learning from him.

Another Professor I like is Professor Hastings from Pokemon Ranger Shadows of Almia. Because another user already gave a pretty in-depth look at Professor Hastings, I'll just say that he is like a more humorous Professor Rowan, which is great in my book, and his travels would provide great hands on experience.

I loved Pokemon Rowan! But maybe just because it is also my name? XD (my name is Roan)

I think I'd go with both of the Junipers if that counts. Both Professor Juniper and her dad have different fields of expertise, and sometimes have differing opinions on things, so it would be nice to learn from different points of view, instead of just one.

I've always liked Professor Rowan more than the other professors, although Kukui is a close second. Even though Hoenn is my favourite region, I'm not a big fan of Professor Birch.

Oak, Juniper, or Sycamore! I love those three. Oak is such an experienced and iconic character, who wouldn't want him as a mentor in the Pokéworld? + Juniper and Sycamore are v beautiful <3 ya that is a reason ok
