Favorite Professor?

Who is your favorite professor & why?
[Cheers if you want to throw in your least]

Surprisingly I think it's Oak. Surprising in that I guess I've never thought about this before but it seems I really don't have strong opinions on the Professors either way and I guess it's Oak by default since he is THE Prof. Kukui is quite memorable but he doesn't deserve the top spot just for having a masked wrestler alter ego as fun as that was.

The lack of Prof. Ivy on this disappoints me.

^ that's why there's an "other" option

personally, I'm going to go for the iconic prof oak, although kukui is a very close second.

Birch but that's because Hoenn is my favorite region /shrug

Sycamore is really underrated. He has a great design and thanks to him you get two starters and a megastone. He is also the first professor in the series that gets personally involved to help you fight for good. He tests you with battles, is there to help you learn more about mega evolution and the history of Kalos, then plans an elaborate celebration for you in gratitude for saving the region. Xy often gets criticized as needing more development, but don't forget about Prof Sycamore! He's more developed than most professors. My second fav is Juniper.

Professor Oak. He's a bit of a git, but what can you do?

sycamore and juniper are cuties
kukui too

and oak, for being the classic professor! my vote went to sycamore tho \o/

I clicked on Professor Oak because it was the first option. Wondering if the results would be different if poll presented choices in a different order.

Actually, Professor Oak is my favourite anyway, ha!

Rowan becuase he has a moustache and his fire and grass starters are cute

Sycamore is cute, Birch is wholesome, Kukui is cool, but the best professor is professor Burnet. She's so cool and her research is fascinating :D I love that they re-used her in Alola!

I'm old, it has to be Oak

It's got to be Professor Oak for me, he was the first professor in my first Pokemon game.

I like Elm because he is sort of goofy lol.

If we're just going by the games, my choices would be Professor Birch and Juniper, based on the kind of research they do. If I had to pick just one of the two though, I would lean towards Juniper, as I think it's interesting to try and figure out where and when Pokemon first came into existence, and when humans first started interacting with them.

I was deciding between Elm, Juniper, Sycamore and Kukui, but after months of thinking about it over and over again, I think I'll give this one to Sycamore. Read VisionofMilotic's post, because she listed most of the reasons why I like him.

Professor Birch, mostly because of my Hoenn bias.

Rowan has always been a mysterious person to me, and that's a quality in my opinion

Professor Oak is by far my favorite one, i grew up and watching him in anime and never knew other professors.
