TimTim Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Probably Professor Birch, more involvement in the plot as rival's father, which is unprecedented in the franchise(if i didnt miss anything), and his outfit is casual which gives you a very friendly vibe, and also the fact that he and his wife are family friend of player character's family~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monochrome_Complex Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Juniper, because she's a girl and her theme always puts a smile on my face. Rowan and Birch would follow Sycamore is irresponsible and felt really unbelievable in how he handled Lysandre. Oak is fine, but I like the designs of the above 4 more. His theme is cool too. Elm is the most forgettable. screw Kennel. Dreamworld ftl. For the non-introductory professors, Colress is by far my favorite. I don't like how he gets off scott free from aiding Plasma though, really pokemon has gotten really weird with this since BW2 where villains are basically getting away with a lot more than they should.

Eternal Edge Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I like Colress a lot actually. When I first heard about him being added to Gen 5 I was super hyped. He ended up having his own battle theme as well which was super cool. I hope Nintendo starts doing more of those soon actually. DOGARS/POKEMON was super neat, as was Colress' battle theme.

Monochrome_Complex Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Colress has my favorite battle theme in the franchise, which is saying a lot. Plus his science themed team was really neat, although I don't understand why he had a Magneton AND a Magnezone where a Porygon Z easily could've replaced one of them. Man I kind of want to play BW2 again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star-kin Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 yeah, Birch was really goofy. i like him :^) Prof. Park is basically me 24/7 in terms of personality and yeah, Colress was respectable. his battle theme has gotta be my favourite out of all the evil bosses. second is Lysandre. i really hope he makes a reappearance in future games. i wanna hear an update about his "bring out the full potential of a Pokemon" research. pls GF make it happen as for my fav researcher, it's Cozmo. because coincidentally, my father gave me a telescope when i was little while he was working overseas before he was...well, divorced, just like Prof. Cozmo. which is weird. and amusing.

mde2001 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I like Birch. He seems like a good researcher and knows his stuff. But he is also really friendly and more involved in the universe of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star-kin Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 I just realized that Birch and Elm are really different. Elm's always cooped up in his lab doing his work to the point where his child really wishes he could at least eat dinner with him. unlike Birch who loves to go out to do his field research. he's barely ever in his laboratory. never neglects his kid, too. but my fav actual Pokemon Professor is Juniper. she takes N's harsh criticism in Chargestone cave pretty well, and we need more people like her ok. and i love her as a character too, and this dialogue always makes me smile: ">Player<!" ">Player<!!!!" "HELLO? >PLAYER<!!!" "Oh! You picked up..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sieg12 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Colress. Badass theme and very neat team. He also seems like a true scientist in how he would do anything to further his research. Sycamore. Cause he's French. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Mods Ice Cream Sand Witch Posted October 16, 2015 Global Mods Share Posted October 16, 2015 Probably Professor Birch because of the running gag of him thinking everyone and everything is a wild Pokemon that's chasing him in ORAS, and I like that he prefers fieldwork to desk work.

Xiri Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I recently re-read the BW Pokemon Special and I love Professor Juniper's character xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Of the introductory professors, they all have a very unique expertise and it's hard to pick one, even with Rowan in the bunch (due to having not played a Gen 4 game very much at all) that really stands out, but I guess I will go ahead and say my favorite is Professor Birch, of Hoenn. Birch, like all of the introductory professors, has a childlike fascination with 'Mons and it comes coupled, as with the other introductory professors again, with a degree of dopey dialogue and behavior. However, as was already pointed out, the Hoenn Prof. has a distinguishable secondary role as your father's friend and thus a friend to your family. There are endearing cutscenes throughout ORAS that indicate Birch's involvement with the story being significantly greater than that of just being the game's 'Dex handler. Furthermore, the father of your primary rival in the Generation III titles just so happens to again - be Prof. Birch - adding to that family dynamic even more by binding the protagonist's family to your rivals. And yet again, in that regard, the most current version of the game delivers in telling that part of the story too. Birch's topic of study however, is ultimately what makes him separate from the pack along with Cedric Juniper. Distribution of Pokemon, as someone who likes to catch as many as possible, is one of the most important topics to me as a trainer, and for those of you that didn't know... After beating Wallace in ORAS, you can return to Birch in Littleroot to upgrade to the national Pokedex, with Birch noting the return of some foreign Pokemon to the region folliowing primal Groudon/Kyogre's departure. This allows us as trainers to use Pokemon from later generations against the Elite Four - the first time you face them! Continuing with the well fleshed out theme - Colress is probably my favorite professor of them all too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masquerain Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Juniper, I like her design and she also had more involvement and even had a father introduced! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead account Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Internet Explorer-head(Colress) is easily my favourite pokemon researcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
