Professor Willow

Professor Willow is Pokémon professor who helps new Trainers learn the basics of Pokémon GO and assists experienced Trainers with research tasks he gives them. He is portrayed as a guide who directs and assists Trainers through their Pokémon journey. He appears at the beginning of the game to introduce the mechanics. He can also be found in the Tips Menu and through various Special Research tasks. He has white hair, dark grey eyes and his skin is white. His clothes were mostly dark with some lime-green details. He wears a white lab coat, glasses, and has big blue rucksack in his back. During Season of Light, he wore a black jacket, new glasses, brown pants and boots. Professor Willow was an only child who learned his love of Pokémon and exploring from his parents. His mother researched Pokémon ecology and his father was fascinated by the outdoors. Before setting out on his own exploration, he worked in a lab studying Pokémon under Professor Oak, whom he still looks up to today. Despite his confident presentation, Professor Willow confesses to a shy side and values spending time alone outdoors for his research. He always wears his lab coat to help himself focus on his research. His dream is to explore uncharted lands and to examine and document new Pokémon species yet to be discovered in their natural habitat.
