Professor Elm is a prominent character in the Pokémon universe, primarily known for his role in the Johto region. He is the resident Pokémon Professor of New Bark Town, specializing in Pokémon breeding, particularly the study of Pokémon eggs and their evolution. Elm is depicted as a kind and somewhat scatterbrained scientist, often so engrossed in his research that he forgets other things. He is the one who entrusts the player character with their first partner Pokémon (Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile) in the Generation II games, Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and their remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver. His laboratory serves as a hub for the player's early adventures, providing essential research and support. Beyond the games, Professor Elm has made appearances in the Pokémon anime, often assisting Ash and his friends with their understanding of Pokémon and their behaviors. His contributions to the scientific understanding of Pokémon breeding are significant, making him a respected figure in the Pokémon world and a memorable character for fans of the Johto region.
