In Pokémon Pokopia, which Pokémon serves as the professor who helps build a town?

In Pokémon Pokopia, Professor Tangrowth helps the player build a town for Pokémon.

This character is a notable departure from the human professors who commonly introduce Pokémon research in the main series. Tangrowth is itself a Pokémon, and its professor role reflects Pokopia’s broader idea that Pokémon organize and rebuild their own communities.

The town-building storyline gives the player a practical goal beyond collecting creatures. The player works with Pokémon, improves the surrounding land, and creates a place where different species can live together. Tangrowth’s role connects the game’s narrative with its construction systems.

Players may incorrectly select Professor Oak because he is the best-known Pokémon professor, or Professor Rowan and Professor Juniper because they are prominent regional researchers. Those characters belong to other Pokémon games. Pokopia’s named professor is Tangrowth, a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
