>Every region has pokemon "professors"
>Many regions have organizations dedicated to studying pokemon, their attacks, their biology, abilities, and whatnot
>Virtually anything interesting about them is completely unknown despite all this massive research and them being at the center of everything
Are all scientists and researchers completely incompetent in the pokemon world? They managed to find out fuck all about pokemon. Literally a ten year old with a glorified note-taking app is more of a researcher than any of them.

They all have specific studies.
A lot is known about Breeding and what may come out of an egg, because Elm. Hoenn and Unova's Habitat lists come from their professor's research.
The only joke us Sycamore, who knows very little about Mega Evolution, despite Lucario Town existing

What did Oak even do besides creating an empty Pokedex?
What was professor Ivy studying? Remember when Oak had like 3 different assistance?

Elm did not say anything about IVs, natures, how they're passed on, how everstones, destiny knots, incenses, etc work in relation to breeding and so on. Hell, they don't even know where the eggs come from. He calls himself a professor?

Wasn't it the pink pokemon?

Nah something to do with the winged mirages
Considering most kids drop out of school at age 10 to pursue a career in adventuring, maybe we should be asking what's wrong with the system.
Is it a coincidence how Rowan did ponder about the possibility of legendaries evolving and then three generations later we get our first evolving legendary.

Considering that the next remakes in line would be DP, probably not.God I fucking hope we don't get DP remakes, I'd take another trip to Kanto over that.

Actually, according to the anime, kids are only given 6 months off school to go adventure. Ash was just delinquent and asked his mom to tell the school to give him more time.

Really? What's the explanation for Gary then?
>>31155540
He grew up and became a researcher.
>>31155551
But he's the same age as Ash.

According to Anime Canon, his research field is human-Pokémon relations.
