Professor Oak has to be my favorite because he started me on my journey.
 
Prof Ivy is a favorite of mine. She was just so calm and collected. I loved that about her.
 
The OG professor, Oak! Except when he comes to stay at my Villa, because he doesn't leave for days! >:/


And who the heck are these guys?:

Professor Krane
Professor P
Professor Hastings
 
I think Professor Oak is the most intelligent one primarily because it seems he has the most experience out of them all and he knows his stuff. I will always remember Oak starting me off in Pokemon Blue.
 
Professor oak, hands down. I don't know why, but I LOVE him!!
 
Porfessor Oak, because he rocks, AND he's a grandpa! He was the first grandpa I met that didn't yell at me!
 
I like Professor Oak because he ''taught'' me how to use the Pokemon types and the different Pokemon moves in an easier defeating way.
 
Oak because everytime he speaks in the game I mimic his voice perfectly and do the ^-^ face

They're the profs. from the home console/spinoff games. Krane comes form the GCN game Pokemon XD (Colosseum didn't have a professor, and in XD Krane doesn't give you a starter Pokemon (whether he gives out any at all is unknown, but maybe not given Orre in those games is still recovering and only getting wild Pokemon coming back), but he instead works on helping build the system to purify Shadow Pokemon and teaches you how to snag Pokemon, maybe...?

Prof. P is from Trozei, and Hastings is in the Ranger games.

Anyways, I voted for Oak - he just seems to be the most like-able of the lot for me. He also seems the most professor-like - he does know his stuff, and according to various canons was a good battler in his day as well. Compared to the likes of Elm who lets Silver steal a Pokemon from him, and had no idea about Pokemon eggs despite being an authority on the subject of Pokemon breeding... =/ Birch gets chased by a Poochyena/Zigzagoon of all things and needs your help with defeating it... Rowan I suppose is decent though, with an interesting personality, and also some amusing jokes in Platinum.

Krane is ok, but I never particularly liked him, never played Trozei nor saw Ivy in the anime... Hastings was ok too, I suppose, but for me Oak wins. Never mind his haikus. =P
 
No one beats the original; that means Professor Oak. He seems like to be the most knowledgeable one of all. He has experience of what it's like to be a Pokemon Trainer, and I think he invented the Pokedex?
