A Pokémon Professor (ポケモン博士 Pokémon Expert) is considered an expert on Pokémon in his or her respective region. Pokémon Professors are often researchers as well, and many times they are the ones responsible for distributing Pokédexes and giving Trainers their first Pokémon.
Several known Pokémon Professors have had reports published in Pokémon Researchers Monthly. In the canon games, Pokémon Professor is also a Trainer class used by Augustine Sycamore in Pokémon X and Y and Kukui in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.
Professors are appointed the rank of Professor by the Pokémon League. In Harmonic Multiverse Journeys, along with its game and spin-off, the males were once Specialists while the females were once fairies. Four of the girls in the spin-off, however, had just become or are already fairies as of their respective debuts.
