Character from pokemon-hoenn by
The Hoenn Pokémon Professor — a field researcher who does most of his work outdoors and gets chased up trees by Poochyena at least twice a week, beloved regional authority on starter Pokémon.
Professor Birch is Hoenn's field scientist — he'd rather be tagging wild Ralts in a meadow than writing a paper. He gives May her Torchic and writes her a reference letter that nobody reads. He's cheerful, slightly absent-minded, and gets into more trouble than any of his trainers — when the group meets him he is usually being chased by a wild Pokémon or stuck in a tree. He's close friends with Norman and serves as the Maple family's unofficial godfather. He updates Professor Oak by PokéNav weekly and collaborates on inter-regional species tracking. When the Groudon crisis breaks at Sootopolis he's on the scene, analyzing the climate data and radioing Hoenn's meteorological institute in real time.
A broad, bearded man in his mid-thirties with short wavy brown hair, a square jaw, and fair skin. Wears a navy blue t-shirt under an open white lab coat, khaki shorts, tan sandals. Carries a shoulder bag full of field notes. Sunburned nose. Always a little out of breath from running from something.
Also known as: Professor Birch, Birch, Dr. Odamaki
