What is Tangrowth’s research name in Pokémon Pokopia?

Tangrowth’s research name in Pokémon Pokopia is Professor Tangrowth.

Professor Tangrowth is the unusual Tangrowth who meets Ditto in the game’s opening story. He has taken responsibility for studying the abandoned environment and investigating the mystery of why humans and Pokémon left the region.

The character helps establish Pokopia’s main premise. Rather than beginning with a traditional Pokémon Professor handing over starter Pokémon, the story places Ditto alongside a Pokémon researcher who is already trying to understand a broken world. Together, they work to restore habitats and support the surviving Pokémon population.

The name is easy to confuse with the names of famous human professors from the main series, such as Professor Oak or Professor Rowan. Professor Tangrowth is not a human scientist and is not a standard regional professor. The title is part of the character’s identity in Pokopia, where Pokémon themselves can take on social roles associated with human communities.
