    It appears Scarlet and Violent, won't be glued to single professor, as news article posted each version wills be have its own professor.
    [PokeCommunity.com] Prof in each versions.

    - Proffesor Sada: Bit indian-ish woman (only on Scarlet)
    and Prof Turo who appears on Violent.
    Also.. These prof don't have any name that like other professors are since all other profs have names related to flora/plants
     
    Sada actually can be traced back to a plant, "Sadabahar", which is a flowering shrub native to Madagascar. Turo could also be a reference to "Arturo", a spiny leafed succulent native to Africa.

    Personally, I like Sada's design. Obviously, they're going for a "tribal" aesthetic with her and while it is quite on the nose, I feel like overall her design has good balance and color coordination. Turo is cool too, though personally not as visually interesting as Sada to me.

    Though imo, Turo looks like a human version of Dialga, which is pretty neat and could maybe have lore implications? If any of the fan theories have substance, that is. :)

    Interesting. Their names would still differ in not outright being called a tree (even Rowan is named as such), but maybe it's a compromise between this and the past/future naming theme? I also feel these might be less of 'trees' specifically than the previous professor namesakes, from a quick google...

    Indeed, both of these plants are shrubs/bushes, not proper trees. My guess is just that the past/future reference is the real takeaway.. and their names "shrub-adjacent" is more coincidental than anything else.
