Prof. Name Oddity.

[MysteryHeff?]

Have you ever noticed that all of the prof. names, and the begining city have something to do with a tree. I'm not sure about Prof. Rowan though.

I posted this thread just out of interest and was wondering what people would say about it.

Rowan is a type of plant, much like Professor Ivy's namesake.

Yeah, um, we've known this since at least Ruby and Sapphire. Is this a joke?

Everything just has a theme. The Professors are all named after plants. Kanto cities are named after colors, with Pallet Town being the starting area (artist's color pallet). Johto cities are named after different types of wood, like Mahogany. Hoenn seems to be a mix of the two, with a few named after what they're like (Lavaridge, for instance). Sinnoh has names based on the individual place, like Hearthome and Vielstone.

More like GSC.

It's just another little constant Pokemon has. Like Ash destroying girls' bikes so they'll travel with him. XP
