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 [[Pokédex]]es and giving the {{player}} their [[starter Pokémon|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.

Pokémon Professors from regions in the [[Version|main series]] of Pokémon games are all named after trees.

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.
