    Hey all,
    Bla bla bla
    So there's an Oak, Elm, Birch, Rowan and Juniper in the games.
    Is there a Professor Yew anytime soon?

    Juniper WAS Yew.

    Araragi: Japanese yew (Taxus cuspidata)

    The fact that they chose to change that rather than leave it the same means they're not going to have a Yew. They probably thought it was too punny/too confusing in verbal conversation.

    Wait, a Professor Me? (bad pun)
    As the user above said, there might not be a Professor Yew, but who knows? Game Freak is always full of suprises. I'm hoping for a Professor Maple. :P

    I'm pining for Professors Maple, Willow, and Pine, with Maple and Willow preferably being as hot as Professor Juniper. :D (Pine sounds like a male's surname to me)

    Here's what Pokemon Scarlet Version (fanmade variant) had for a Prof. Maple:

    Well if that's true then I'm glad because I don't find Yew to be a very flattering name for anyone.

    Having just looked up a list of tree names (yes I just did that :D) I found Araucaria, Nyssa, and Picea to be pretty future professor names. Those are all scientific names by the way!

    From what I've heard, Professor Yew is a fan-made professor from a magazine (Pokemon World). So while it's possible that this professor could make an appearance, it's unlikely that he will.
