A Pokémon Professor (Japanese: 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 the player their first Pokémon. The first Pokémon Professor introduced in the games and anime, Professor Oak, was also the first NPC ever seen in the main series games. He also, has made the most appearances in the main series games, appearing in alk games but the Hoenn-based ones.

According to a comment Professor Birch makes when grading a player's Pokédex, catching a large number of Pokémon species helps to qualify one as a Pokémon Professor. However, as Professor Oak mentions he has not completed the Pokédex, this is presumably not the only way to become one.
