'''Professors' aides''' are assistants or scientists that work alongside a [[region]]'s {{pkmn|Professor}}s. These assistants often help the professors in either their research or performing small chores. They may specialize in many things from office work to field work, and work along side the professor's field of study. These characters often provide information or help the player in many ways as they progress through the game. | |||

Many professors' aides are shown throughout the core series, first debuting in [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation]]s I and [[Generation II|II]] many of the professor's assistants appear throughout the game, providing the player with items and feed back on progress on their [[Pokédex]] on behalf of the professor. These assistants went without names and were simply just researchers who helped the professor. While these types of professors remained throughout the core series, starting in {{g|Ruby and Sapphire}}, many assistants became notable characters that the player will interact with more frequently. | |||

[[Professor Oak]]'s aide travels all over [[Kanto]], keeping tabs on how many Pokémon the {{player}} has caught, and giving out item rewards if the player has caught a sufficient amount of Pokémon. This aide usually appears on the second floor of [[gate]]s or in small buildings. The rewards are usually [[Key Item]]s. In addition to the stationed aide, many other aides work in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], helping Professor Oak with day-to-day tasks. There is one aide who appears three times in the [[Kanto]] region. | [[Professor Oak]]'s aide travels all over [[Kanto]], keeping tabs on how many Pokémon the {{player}} has caught, and giving out item rewards if the player has caught a sufficient amount of Pokémon.
