Hello there! Welcome to the world of Pokémon! I am Buttonwood, the Pokémon Professor! What, you thought there was one Professor per region? No, Oak isn't the only smart guy in Kanto. He may take all the credit, but it was ME who came up with the Pokédex, damn it! Not him!
Oh, sorry about that. Bit of a sore spot there. Anyways, the economy's rough, it's hard to find work, and I have to feed my Persian. So I decided to take this teaching job. The problem with this generation is that they have their heads clouded up with superstitions and misconceptions. There are still fools who reject natural evolution and believe that Arceus "intelligently evolves" Pokémon! I mean, we're not ten years old anymore! Some of the latest guys I met were thirteen, maybe even fifteen! Let me tell you right now, the Alpha Pokémon is dead. All of the other supposed "Legendaries" can be explained with simple biology. They're just like the "animals" from ancient times. You've heard of animals, right? Like caterpillars?
...
No, not Caterpies, caterpillars. They're like Caterpies and Weedles, but a lot smaller. Where was I? Oh, yes, they are just like animals. All of their unusual attributes can be studied and explained. So, my dear pupils, it's my duty as your teacher to clear up the misinformation you were taught. So, ask me anything about this wonderful world of ours and I will give my answer. Farewell.
~ Prof. Buttonwood
