A '''Professor's assistant''' is helper or scientist that works alongside a [[region]]'s {{pkmn|Professor}}. 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.
