Which Pokémon becomes Professor Tangrowth in Pokémon Pokopia?

Tangrowth becomes Professor Tangrowth in Pokémon Pokopia.

After Ditto awakens in the abandoned world, it meets a Tangrowth who has taken on the role of Professor Tangrowth. This character studies the damaged environment and investigates the mystery surrounding the disappearance of humans and Pokémon.

Professor Tangrowth is a story character rather than a generic species reference. The name keeps the Pokémon's species in the title, which helps distinguish the character from human professors such as Professor Oak or Professor Rowan in other Pokémon games.

Tangrowth also fits the game's environmental themes. As a Grass-type Pokémon associated with vines and plant growth, it is an especially fitting guide for a story about restoring habitats and making a barren world livable again. The professor's role helps introduce the game's central mystery and restoration objective.
