    The professors are the "trees" from which all young trainers "bud" and "grow." Simple metaphor. <.<;

    Yeah, this pattern was outlined especially during the announcement of the latest Professor's name, Rowan. The metaphor above ^^ is interesting~

    I never think about profs.
    I mean they gave us our starters and give advices.
    That's it.(No offence)


    I'm so sorry.
    My brother did that when I was going to bathroom.
    I knew this when this thread is in my subscriptions.

    Well,if you don't say I'll never know that Prof names are plants/trees!:shocked:

    Lol, I noticed a few years ago. Anyone realised this?
    Brock-rock
    Misty-self explanitory
    Lt. Surge- Surge of electricity

    I suppose they started a pattern and forgot.
    It also explains the type of Pokemon they specialize in.

    Yah, I realized way back when Professor Elm was named after a tree like Proffessor Oak. Yep... kinda old news to me, but it's still pretty cool.

    I actually noticed in Generation I. Because Ash is named after a tree, Ash Tree and Oak after an Oak tree. This was confirmed when Prof Elm came out. Elm Tree.
