Kukui is actually growing on me a bit. I still like Elm the best, but Kukui is getting closer. Not to mention it is so cute he is married to Burnet.
I'm in a fight of that. Sycamore and Kukui. Sycamore because let's be honest here. He's the first to be blunt and say : I don't care if you don't focus on the Pokédex. I just want you to enjoy your journey. Make friends with the people here and have fun with it. He also has that clueless aspect. Because his friend is the bad guy. Now for Kukui. Apart from his indecency when entering a home, he's really the professor who makes all the characters laugh. Also he acts like a dad that Lillie never had. He's sweet and caring to anyone who needs a hand.
ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL I'd have to say Oak or Kukui. Oak is just such a derpy character. I mean, he forgets his grandson's name, he wears slippers to work, and he's obviously a telepath. Plus, he's basically the 'secret boss' in R/B, so he's a telepathic slipper-wearing forgetful badass. Kukui is very quickly growing on me. He genuinely made me laugh several times, and he is the Champ, which is pretty cool. And he's the Masked Royal. #MissingNo
It's a tough call for me. All the professors study their own little things, and it isn't until the 4th gen that they start establishing branches of study. Evolution, natural habitats, moves and what gives them power, these are some of the branches I mean Kukui is like Birch: They both like to do field research. Birch studies Pokémon in their natural habitats, while Kukui likes to see moves in action. In a way, I like both of these professors because of their field research. But my favorite is Rowan, specifically because of his studies on evolution and his take-no-crap attitude.
I'd have to say Professor Rowan as well, at first, he looks a little intimidating and stern but I think he has a soft spot for the trainers that take their research/battling seriously, and people who are willing to improve themselves. I also like Professor Juniper (gen 5 nostalgia) because I like her topic of research the best, but I also love that she was the first female core series main Professor! She has a Minccino too, which is one of my favorite Pokémon.
Kukui is the bomb. He's the cool/goofy/ripped Hawaiian Alolan brother/uncle I wish I could have. Birch takes an honorable mention. The guy's so into his fieldwork that he got chased by his wife and mistook her for a Pokémon. XD
Either Birch or Kukui. They seem more like hands-on professors in going out into the field to study rather than sitting at a desk all day. Then again Rowan and his mustache are legends in their own right.
Juniper is my favorite. She has an energetic, carefree personality that isn't really in your face or overwhelming. She reminds me of some of my favorite teachers. She's just really cool, really down to earth, and a ton of fun.
Either Sycamore or Kukui. They both have that laid back attitude, not caring too much about anything but having a good time, and I appreciate that. I'd chill with them any day of the week.
I like Professor Rowan because he's the only one who actually acts seriously, but is still really nice to the protagonist.
Kukui is a cool guy; he certainly has a lot more personality than past Pokémon professors and I appreciate that.
Professor Kukui. He just seems so much fun and energized, not to mention involved with what's going on. And I really like his design.
Professor Elm. The man is a hot mess. He's all over the place. LOOK AT THE FOOL. The man inspires me because he can be that much of a mess and still get far in life. I love it.
Probably Birch for nostalgic reasons. I like Sycamore too though, even if I'm not a massive fan of Gen 6.
