'''Professor Augustine Sycamore''' (Japanese: '''プラターヌ博士''' ''Dr. Platane'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] from the [[Kalos]] region. He specializes in both [[Evolution]], [[Mega Evolution]], and change.


==In the games==
==In the core series games==
Professor Sycamore is mentioned as the one who selected a group made up of the [[player character]], the opposite-gendered character, [[Shauna]], [[Tierno]], and [[Trevor]] to help him with his research, sending the [[Prof's Letter]] to the {{kal|Grace|player's mother}} to ask her permission. Professor Sycamore personally gives Trevor and Tierno their [[Pokédex]] and first Pokémon, asking them to deliver both a Pokédex and a starter Pokémon for the remaining three members of the group. He sends the three [[Kalos]] [[starter Pokémon]] through Tierno.

Professor Sycamore personally gives Trevor and Tierno their [[Pokédex]] and first Pokémon, asking them to deliver both a Pokédex and a first partner Pokémon for the remaining three members of the group. He sends the three [[Kalos]] [[first partner Pokémon]] through Tierno.


The player first meets him in [[Lumiose City]], where he will battle the player and, afterward, gives them one of the three Kanto starter Pokémon. On the way to [[Shalour City]], he will instruct the player to meet [[Gurkinn]], the Mega Evolution guru, to learn and get a better understanding about [[Mega Evolution]]. Later, he appears at the [[Coumarine City]] monorail station and talks to [[Diantha]] about Mega Evolution and how it may be possibly related to the bonds between Pokémon and their Trainers. There, he will congratulate the player for using Mega Evolution for the first time and gives them {{HM|02|Fly}}.

He feels disappointed when [[Lysandre]] reveals himself to be the boss of [[Team Flare]], but turns to his network of acquaintances to try to stop the villainous team's plan. He sends [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] to the [[Lysandre Labs]] in order to investigate Team Flare's interest in [[AZ]] and how to thwart their plans.

At [[Couriway Town]], he will apologize to the player for not preventing what Lysandre had done. He then challenges the player to another battle to test how far they have come in their journey. After being defeated, he informs the player that he has a special surprise for helping stop [[Team Flare]] and leaves. Once the player has beaten the Pokémon League, he leads a parade for the player in Lumiose City, where he awards them and their friends with the [[Honor of Kalos]] for their heroics.

After being defeated for the first time in Lumiose City, Professor Sycamore will let the player choose themselves one of the [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]].

'''Intro'''
In [[Pokémon GO]], [[Professor Willow]] mentions that Sycamore is one of his colleagues.
:''"Welcome to the world of Pokémon!"''
:''"I am Augustine Sycamore, the Kalos region's very own Pokémon Professor."''
:''"This world of ours is widely inhabited by creatures known as Pokémon!"''
:''"These mysterious creatures can be found in every corner of our world..."''
:''"Some run across the plains, others fly through the skies, and others yet swim in deep oceans..."''
:''"We live together with these Pokémon, lending our strength to one another to live and prosper."''
:''"Let's get started with some quick questions... Are you a boy? Or are you a girl?"''
* Either choice
:''"And what do you look like?"''


* Any choice
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
:''"Oho, I see. Would you tell me your name?"''
{{main|Professor Sycamore (Masters)}}
:''"So it's <player>, then? Did I get that right?"''
Professor Sycamore forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Xerneas}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, and {{p|Gogoat}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Professor Sycamore became a playable sync pair on February 11, 2021.
::'''Yes''': ''"<player>... {{tt|Très bien|French for very good; excellent}}! What a fantastic name!"''
::'''No''': Returns the player to the 'Your name?' screen.
:''"<player>! Your adventure begins now! You are about to enter the beautiful Kalos region!"''
:''"Go and meet many Pokémon and people, and fill your life with rich experiences!"''
:''"Now let's go visit the world of Pokémon!"''


'''[[Lumiose City]]'''
{{PairDex/h|Kalos}}
:''"So, we finally meet!"''
{{PairDex|116|Professor Sycamore|trainerlink=Professor Sycamore (Masters)#Xerneas|trainerimg=Sycamore|0716|Xerneas|form={{Form|Xerneas|Active Mode}}|Fairy|Steel|Support|6|Legendary Adventures<br>''Give and Take''}}

:''"Well now, you DO have a certain {{tt|je ne sais quoi|unidentifiable charm; lit. 'I do not know what'}}! I have a good feeling about you! At first, I was thinking of choosing only one child from a town when I was deciding who to give a Pokémon to. In Vaniville Town, it was going to be the child of a Veteran Trainer I know. About then, I learned that the {{p|Rhyhorn}} racer {{kal|Grace}} and her {{tt|son|if the player is a boy}}/{{tt|daughter|if the player is a girl}} were moving here. Here in the Kalos region, you're far away from everything you used to know... That really hit me right here... Then it hit me--I should give you a Pokémon and have you travel around Kalos!"''
:''"Fantastic! Now, let's all have a Pokémon battle! Your opponent shall be me!"''
 
* Before battle
:''"Shall we start the battle?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Just so you know, I'm not that tough!"''
::'''No''': ''"No problem at all! I'll wait! I'll wait as long as I must!"''
 
* Being defeated
:''"Ha ha! You're too much for me! You're really something, aren't you?"''
 
* After being defeated
:''"I think I've about figured it out!"''
:''"<Player>! You are an interesting Pokémon Trainer indeed! It'd be fantastic if you took another Pokémon with you! Here! Pick one!"''
:''"You picked Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle, then! I see. That's simply wonderful!"''
:* If the player's party is full and the player declines to send a Pokémon to the PC
::''"Oh! So you don't want it right now? Come back and get your Pokémon once you've organized your PC Boxes."''
:* If the player has or makes room in their party
::''"Would you like to give your Pokémon a nickname?"''
:::'''Yes''': ''"So, you've decided its nickname will be <nickname>?"''
:::'''No''': ''"Oh, I see. You're not going to give your Pokémon a nickname, then."''
:''"Since you chose Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle, I'll give you this Mega Stone."''
:''"Come now, you two. Pick your Pokémon."''
:''"Well, I've got a feeling everyone else will show up soon."''
:''"See. Wonderful! Everyone's all here! So now that we're all here, I'd like to say a few words. Be the best Trainer you can be! At the same time, remember to have fun traveling with your Pokémon! Also, I want to ask for your help in solving the Kalos region's biggest Pokémon mystery: the secret and potential of Mega Evolution, a new kind of Evolution that occurs in battle! That's why I gave you that Mega Stone just now. It's an important clue!"''
:''"Trevor, my lad, if that's what "best Trainer" means to you, then I want you to go out there and complete that Pokédex!"''
:''"If you're investigating Mega Evolution, why don't you check out [[Camphrier Town]]? That town has a lot of history--you might find a hint there! Now listen. If you visit many different places to complete the Pokédex, you will probably see Pokémon with many ways of living and meet people with many ways of thinking. First, accept the ways of living and thinking that sometimes conflict with your own. And think about what's really imporant--this will truly broaden your horizons."''
 
* If Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle was previously left with the professor
:''"Why hello! Nice to see you! Here's the <Pokémon> you chose! Take good care of it, OK?"'' (If accepted, afterwards he asks about giving it a nickname, the same as above. Whether accepted or not, he concludes with his last four lines above.)
 
'''[[Coumarine City]]'''
:''"Why hello, <player>!"''
:''"Congratulations! I see you finally obtained everything you need for Mega Evolution! A Mega Stone for the Pokémon, a [[Mega Ring]] for the Trainer, and a strong bond with your Pokémon."''
:''"It's only a hypothesis, but I think the bond between Pokémon and Trainer is the key to this new Evolution. But what is this bond, exactly? And why are there examples of Mega Evolution only in the Kalos region? There's still so much we don't know..."''
:''"Oh! What an excellent point! Indeed! The more you know, the more there is to research! The excitement never ends, does it?"''
:''"Oh, that's right! I came here to give you this!"''
:''"Use the [[HM]] {{m|Fly}} to pop right over to [[Pokémon Center]]s of places you've already visited! Well then, <player>..."''
:''"Diantha, I hope to see you both again soon!"''
 
'''[[Lumiose City]] (Lysandre Café)'''
:''"Over here!"''
:''"I was just having a conversation with Lysandre about Mega Evolution."''
:''"Actually, Lysandre himself is of royal ancestry... He truly is a chosen one."''
:''"By the way, <player>... Do you know where the Holo Caster is made?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"That's right! They're made in Lysandre's lab."''
::'''No''': ''"Oh really? Well, they just happen to be made in Lysandre's lab."''
:''"Lysandre is a great man. He supports Trainers and Pokémon research with some of the profit from the Holo Caster."''
:''"What a passionate person. He's just like a blazing flame. Perhaps his pride in his lineage is what makes him burn so intensely."''
:''"That being said, what Lysandre says is only one way to looking at things... It's not necessarily the truth. <player>! What's truly important is the time you spend together with others! Treasure these moments spent traveling the Kalos region with your Pokémon!"''
 
'''[[Couriway Town]]'''
:''"Hello..."''
:''"I have to apologize to you about Lysandre... I'm very sorry for the trouble he caused..."''
:''"And I'd also like to thank you! I'm sincerely grateful for what you did for all of the Pokémon and people of this world. And by stopping Team Flare, you also saved Lysandre. I always knew that he desired a beautiful world..."''
:''"And maybe someday the population of people and Pokémon will actually increase to where resources become very scarce. If someone acts out of greed in such a world, surely some will go without. If all living things keep acting that way, there will be nothing left at all in the end. Why, there won't even be anything left to steal, will there?"''
:''"But what I really wanted was for him to put his ego aside and lead everything to greater heights. I never had this discussion with him, though. So I'm partially responsible for this."''
 
* Before battle
:''"Well, enough of that. <player>! I want you and your Pokémon to take everything you learned from your journey and hit me with your very best shot!"''
 
* Being defeated
:''"You are really something! You and your Pokémon have developed strong bonds by spending time together and by caring about one another. That's why you and your Pokémon are so strong."''
 
* After being defeated
:''"The strength you've found is simply marvelous! And... You truly love and trust your Pokémon! <player>! A treasure of mine is hidden in this town! If you'd like, try to find it. Well, I'll be off then! I have many preparations I must attend to! I have a little surprise planned for all of you to thank you for fighting Team Flare and saving Kalos!"''
 
'''Parade at Lumiose City''' (after entering [[Hall of Fame]])
:''"What an amazing turnout! All of these people are here to celebrate your achievements. I'd like to present you with the [[Honor of Kalos]] for the bravery you showed battling Team Flare! I'm so proud of you all! On behalf of the entire Kalos region, I'd like to say... Thank you!"''
:''"[[AZ|His]] {{p|Floette|Pokémon}} was waiting all this time... Waiting for him to return to the man he was. The man who loved Pokémon with all his heart."''
 
'''Lumiose Station''' (post-game)
:''"How did you like your parade, <player>? So the reason I asked you to come here is... I wanted to give you a pass to Kiloude City!"''
:''"Doesn't ring any bells? Kiloude City is a city in the southern part of the Kalos region. And it's the perfect place for Trainers looking to sharpen their skills! So here's your [[TMV Pass|pass]] for the super high-speed rail to Kiloude City!"''
:''"Use it to ride the TMV super high-speed rail! Take your pass to that scanner over there. It's an orange machine. Have the machine scan your pass to board the train. Have a fantastic time!"''
 
'''Anistar City'''  (after defeating {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} in [[Kiloude City]] post-game)
:''"Why, hello, <player>!"
:''"Running around all over Kalos is actially rather tiring, is it not?"
:''"Oh yeah, I'm the one making you do that, aren't I?"
:''"Terribly sorry about that!"
:''"Well, {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} may have already told you, but I found a way to power up the Mega Ring!"
:''"Before we get to that, however..."
:''"Let's talk about Mega Stones briefly."
:''"My theory is that they're special stones irradiated by the light--the energy of the Legendary Pokemon {{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}/{{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}--fired from the [[ultimate weapon]] 3,000 years ago."
:''"And that's what I think they are."
:''"It's even possible that stones like Fire Stones were what turned into these Mega Stones."
:''"So, what's the Mega Ring you are holding?"
:''"That mysterious stone transforms feelings felt towards Pokemon into some kind of wavelength."
:''"The Mega Ring works in a similar way to how this object over here works."
:''"It's an object that changes sunlight into a mysterious light."
:''"For one hour starting at 8 pm, this sundial starts emitting light."
:''"This mysterious object has towered over the city here for over 3,000 years."
:''"It's relationship to the Mega Ring isn't understood at all yet."
:''"Now, let's get down to the heart of the matter!"
:''"<player>! Try touching the sundial!"
 
* After touching
:''"You were exposed to the Legendary Pokemon's energy in Team Flare's secret HQ."
:''"And the Mega Ring has absorbed the power of the sundial."
:''"These two powers have combined to upgrade your Mega Ring."
:''"Now, it will react to underground Mega Stones, but only when the sundial is emitting light."
:''"I'm sure these stones hide in every corner of Kalos!  Use this power to find them!"
 
====[[Pokédex]] evaluation====
* Before evaluating the player's Pokédex in person:
:''"Well now, let's have a look at your Pokédex!"''
* After evaluating the player's Pokédex in person:
:''"Your Pokédex must be jam-packed with all the memories of your journey... I hope you treasure it always!"''
* After evaluating one of the Kalos Pokédexes via a PC after all three have been finished or National Pokédex when it has been finished:
:''"You're encountering Pokémon at a really good clip, aren't you?"''
:''"I have something for you, so stop by the lab when you have a moment!"''
* After evaluating one of the Kalos Pokédexes in person after all three have been finished:
:''"You're encountering Pokémon at a really good clip, aren't you?"''
:''"I want to give you this to help you reach your goal!"''
:''"So, if you're holding an [[Oval Charm]], {{pkmn|Egg}}s are discovered at the [[Pokémon Day Care]] more easily than normal."''
* After evaluating the National Pokédex in person after it has been finished:
:''"You're encountering Pokémon at a really good clip, aren't you?"''
:''"I want to give you this to help you reach your goal!"''
:''"Holding a [[Shiny Charm]] will improve your chances of finding a [[Shiny Pokémon]]!"''
* If the National Pokédex has already been completed and evaluated:
:''"Congratulations! You completed the Pokédex!"''
 
=====Central Kalos Pokédex=====
* When talking to Sycamore to get the Pokédex evaluated:

* 40-59 Pokémon:

:''"Why hello! Find any Pokémon that you've taken a particular shine to yet?"''

Professor Sycamore debuts in the {{chap|X & Y}}. He is first seen messaging {{adv|Trevor}} via [[Holo Caster]] to inform him that the package of starter Pokémon he requested has been sent to Trevor's house. When Trevor arrives to take the three Pokémon, he is shocked to find the Legendary Pokémon [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} have appeared and begin battling each other. The battle causes destruction and mass panic in Vaniville Town, but Trevor manages to record footage of the event on his Holo Caster before it gets damaged. Once the two Pokémon leave, Trevor decides to travel with his friends to find answers as to what happened while also wanting to meet up with the professor in Lumiose City.

Professor Augustine Sycamore (Japanese: プラターヌ博士 Dr. Platane) is a Pokémon Professor from the Kalos region. He specializes in both Evolution, Mega Evolution, and change.

In the core series games

Sycamore in the opening of Pokémon X and Y

Professor Sycamore is mentioned as the one who selected a group made up of the player character, the opposite-gendered character, Shauna, Tierno, and Trevor to help him with his research, sending the Prof's Letter to the player's mother to ask her permission. Professor Sycamore personally gives Trevor and Tierno their Pokédex and first Pokémon, asking them to deliver both a Pokédex and a first partner Pokémon for the remaining three members of the group. He sends the three Kalos first partner Pokémon through Tierno.

The player first meets him in Lumiose City, where he will battle the player and, afterward, gives them one of the three Kanto first partner Pokémon. On the way to Shalour City, he will instruct the player to meet Gurkinn, the Mega Evolution guru, to learn and get a better understanding about Mega Evolution. Later, he appears at the Coumarine City monorail station and talks to Diantha about Mega Evolution and how it may be possibly related to the bonds between Pokémon and their Trainers. There, he will congratulate the player for using Mega Evolution for the first time and gives them HM02 (Fly).

He feels disappointed when Lysandre reveals himself to be the boss of Team Flare, but turns to his network of acquaintances to try to stop the villainous team's plan. He sends Dexio and Sina to the Lysandre Labs in order to investigate Team Flare's interest in AZ and how to thwart their plans.

At Couriway Town, he will apologize to the player for not preventing what Lysandre had done. He then challenges the player to another battle to test how far they have come in their journey. After being defeated, he informs the player that he has a special surprise for helping stop Team Flare and leaves. Once the player has beaten the Pokémon League, he leads a parade for the player in Lumiose City, where he awards them and their friends with the Honor of Kalos for their heroics.

Later, he tells the player to meet him in Lumiose Station, where he gives them a TMV Pass to board a train to Kiloude City. After Calem/Serena is defeated in Kiloude, Professor Sycamore will upgrade the player's Mega Ring in Anistar City so that they can detect hidden Mega Stones from 8 PM to 9 PM.

When the Pokédex is evaluated at his lab in Lumiose City, Sycamore will give the player an Oval Charm for completing all three Kalos Pokédexes (Central Kalos, Coastal Kalos, and Mountain Kalos) and a Shiny Charm for completing the National Pokédex.

Professor Sycamore is also mentioned in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, where Dexio and Sina reveal that he was the one who discovered the Zygarde Cube.

After being defeated for the first time in Lumiose City, Professor Sycamore will let the player choose themselves one of the Kanto first partner Pokémon. After the player has chosen their Pokémon, Professor will also give the player the first partner Pokémon's final evolution's respective Mega Stone (if Charmander was chosen, the Charizardite received will depend on the version of the game that's being played).

Professor Sycamore in Pokémon Adventures

Professor Sycamore debuts in the X & Y arc. He is first seen messaging Trevor via Holo Caster to inform him that the package of first partner Pokémon he requested has been sent to Trevor's house. When Trevor arrives to take the three Pokémon, he is shocked to find the Legendary Pokémon Xerneas and Yveltal have appeared and begin battling each other. The battle causes destruction and mass panic in Vaniville Town, but Trevor manages to record footage of the event on his Holo Caster before it gets damaged. Once the two Pokémon leave, Trevor decides to travel with his friends to find answers as to what happened while also wanting to meet up with the professor in Lumiose City.

Sycamore debuts in person at his lab in Lumiose City, where he shows the footage Trevor recorded to Lysandre. Sycamore also gives a copy of the footage so that it may be used for further study.

Later, Trevor and his friends make it to Lumiose City. There, they meet with Professor Sycamore and return the Charmander that had previously escaped from Sycamore's lab. Trevor, Y, Tierno, and Shauna are sent to Lysandre Café to have Trevor's Holo Caster fixed while X stays behind. When X reveals that he doesn't want to take the Chespin that Trevor got for him because he worries that it will only get caught up in the constant attacks from Team Flare, Professor Sycamore decides to challenge him to a battle in hopes of changing his mind. Although X agrees, he is angered when he is forced to use Chespin instead of Kanga. The battle ends with Professor Sycamore as the victor. Despite the lack of interest in the fight, X is impressed by Chespin's valor enough to take it on his team and give it a nickname. Much to Professor Sycamore's surprise and confusion, X also takes an interest in training the Charmander.

Afterward, the two head off to the Prism Tower while riding the Gogoat Shuttle service. When X's friends ask Sycamore about Lysandre's scary demeanor, Sycamore laughs their worries off and assumes they were just shocked from his majestic personality. He then heads inside Prism Tower to have an interview with Lumiose Press.

Sometime after Team Flare's plot to use the ultimate weapon fails, Professor Sycamore apologizes to X and his friends for not noticing that Lysandre was actually the leader of Team Flare earlier. He asks them to head to Anistar City, where he may use the secrets of the Anistar Sundial to help them stop Team Flare. When X's group arrives at Anistar to meet with the Professor, they find him surrounded by four Hawlucha while dangling on a harness connected to the Anistar Sundial. X and Y free the Professor and battle against the Hawlucha, whose Trainer is hidden in the area. While X's team battles the Hawlucha, Sycamore reveals that the effects of the ultimate weapon firing on Kalos have made it so that X and Y can track Mega Stones with their Mega Rings, but only from 8 PM to 9 PM. X and Y decide to take this information to look for the Mega Stones for their new team members, Rute and Solsol, but realize that the person who commanded the Hawlucha is still at large. While X and Y stay behind to face the unknown Trainer, Tierno and Shauna take their Mega Rings to find the Mega Stones for Rute and Solsol. As Tierno and Shauna search for the Mega Stones, Y discovers the person who attacked Sycamore was Essentia, a member of Team Flare, and battles her. After Essentia escapes, Sycamore learns from his assistants that Team Flare are hiding at the Pokémon Village.

Later, after Team Flare is defeated once and for all, Professor Sycamore, the Kalos Gym Leaders, Alexa, Bonnie, and Yvette congratulate X and his friends for their victory. Professor Sycamore proposes to have a party and parade as a celebration for their heroics, but Trevor declines, as he and his friends prefer to stick close to one another. Later, Sycamore talks to Blue and Blaine about their involvement in the battle against Team Flare. Blue and Blaine reveal that after they witnessed Zygarde disintegrate into its Cells, they noticed a green figure from where it once stood. Sycamore reveals that similar creatures have been seen in the Alola region, and sends Sina and Dexio there to investigate. While Sina and Dexio are away, Sycamore has Trevor take their place as his assistant.
