Professor Elm is a prominent Pokémon Professor from the Johto region, introduced in the second generation of Pokémon games, Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. He is known for his research into Pokémon breeding and evolution, particularly on how Pokémon eggs are produced. His laboratory is located in New Bark Town, the starting point for trainers in the Johto region. Professor Elm is depicted as a kind and somewhat absent-minded individual, deeply engrossed in his scientific pursuits. He is the one who entrusts the player with their first partner Pokémon: Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile. Beyond the games, Professor Elm has appeared in the Pokémon anime, often providing guidance and information to Ash and his friends as they journey through Johto. He represents the academic side of the Pokémon world, contributing to the understanding of Pokémon biology and behavior, and his lectures are a core part of a trainer's initial education.
