Professor Sycamore: Difference between revisions

==In the games==

Professor Sycamore is mentioned as the one who selected a group made up of the [[player character]], the opposite-gendered character, [[Shauna]], [[Tierno]] and [[Trevor]] to help him with his research, sending the {{key|VI|Prof's Letter}} to the [[Grace (Kalos)|player's mother]] to ask her permission. Professor Sycamore personally gives Trevor and Tierno their [[Pokédex]] and first Pokémon, asking them to deliver both a Pokédex and a starter Pokémon for the remaining three members of the group. He sends the three [[Kalos]] [[starter Pokémon]] through Tierno.

When the Pokédex is evaluated at his lab in [[Lumiose City]], Sycamore will give the player an {{key|VI|Oval Charm}} for completing all three Kalos [[Pokédex]]es (Central Kalos, Coastal Kalos, and Mountain Kalos) and a {{key|VI|Shiny Charm}} for completing the [[National Pokédex]].

He appeared again in ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', where he met up with Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie when they returned to Lumiose City. Later, he was captured by {{TRT}}, who sought for his knowledge about Mega Evolution. Serena and Bonnie were also captured when they tried to help the Professor. The three were rescued by Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}}, Clemont, and a {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} from Sycamore's lab, but Team Rocket activated their newest mecha, which chased them across a forest. After Ash and Clemont unsuccessfully tried to defeat the mecha with Pikachu and Chespin, the group was saved by [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]] and his {{p|Blaziken}}, who destroyed the mecha, and Team Rocket was then sent blasting off by Ash and Clemont. At the end of the episode, Sycamore allowed Clemont to capture Chespin when it wanted to travel with the group.

He appeared in flashbacks in ''[[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]]'' and ''[[XY060|A Showcase Debut!]]''.

He reappeared in ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]'' when Ash and his friends visit him before leaving [[Lumiose City]]. He showed the group a special machine that could determine which Pokémon could Mega Evolve with a certain Mega Stone, and found out the Mega Stone was Garchompite. However, Team Rocket stole the Garchompite, along with a Key Stone and the professor's Garchomp. But before they successfully Mega Evolve Garchomp, Professor Sycamore Mega Evolves his Garchomp for the first time with the help of [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]].

He appeared again in ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'', where he first watched the battle between Alain and [[Remo]] and expressed concern over Alain's cold attitude. He and Diantha also commented on the battle between Ash and [[Sawyer]]. He continued to watch the battle in the [[XY128|next episode]].

He appeared again in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', where he countered [[Aliana]]'s {{p|Druddigon}}'s {{m|Dark Pulse}} with an attack from his Mega Garchomp. He later joined Serena and Mairin on their mission to rescue [[Chespie]] from [[Lysandre Labs]], with the assistance of Team Rocket who commandeered a helicopter in order to travel to the laboratories.  

He reappeared in ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]'', where he drove Alain to his laboratory, for the surprise party which Ash and his friends were setting up. He later joined the party and after it finished, he gave out some medals to Ash and his friends and their Pokémon, for their assistance in fighting against [[Team Flare]].

He appeared again in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', where he told Ash and co. that Alain is now going on a journey, along with Mairin, to find a new Key Stone and Mega Stone, due to the fact that he discarded his old ones because Lysandre gave them to him. Sycamore also noted that the Anistar Sundial is providing locations to Mega Stones throughout the region. He later talked to them again while in the middle of presenting a {{tc|Youngster}} with the choice of choosing from one of the three Kalos [[starter Pokémon]].

===In Pokémon Generations===

Professor Sycamore appeared in ''[[PG18|The Redemption]]'', in which he was seen onstage with [[Diantha]] and {{ga|Calem}} at the parade, celebrating the latter's achievement of becoming the new [[Kalos League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}.

Sometime after Team Flare's plot to use the ultimate weapon fails, Professor Sycamore apologizes to X and his friends for not noticing that Lysandre was actually the leader of Team Flare earlier. He asks them to head to Anistar City, where he may use the secrets of the Anistar Sundial to help them stop Team Flare. When X's group arrives at Anistar to meet with the Professor, they find him surrounded by four {{p|Hawlucha}} while dangling on a harness connected to the Anistar Sundial. X and Y free the Professor and battle against the Hawlucha, whose Trainer is hidden in the area. While X's team battles the Hawlucha, Sycamore reveals that the effects of the ultimate weapon firing on Kalos have made it so that X and Y can track Mega Stones with their Mega Rings, but only from 8 PM to 9 PM. X and Y decide to take this information to look for the Mega Stones for their new team members, {{p|Pinsir|Rute}} and {{p|Absol|Solsol}}, but realize that the person who commanded the Hawlucha is still at large. While X and Y stay behind to face the unknown Trainer, Tierno and Shauna take their Mega Rings to find the Key Stones for Rute and Solsol.

Later, after Team Flare is defeated once and for all, Professor Sycamore, the Kalos Gym Leaders, [[Alexa]], [[Bonnie]], and [[Yvette]] congratulate X and his friends for their victory. Professor Sycamore proposes to have a party and parade as a celebration for their heroics, but Trevor declines, as he and his friends prefer to stick close to one another. Later, Sycamore talks to {{adv|Blue}} and [[Blaine]] about their involvement in the battle against Team Flare. Blue and Blaine reveal that after they witnessed Zygarde disintegrate into its Cells, they noticed a green figure from where it once stood. Sycamore reveals that similar creatures have been seen in the [[Alola]] region, and sends Sina and Dexio there to investigate. While Sina and Dexio are away, Sycamore has Trevor take their place as his assistant.

==Trivia==

* According to a male Scientist on the second floor of the lab in Lumiose City, Sycamore learned a lot from [[Professor Rowan]] in [[Sinnoh]] when he was young.

* According to a woman in the [[Tower of Mastery]], Sycamore trained at the Tower of Mastery in his youth to learn about Mega Evolution. However, he left fairly quickly as he decided he didn't have what it takes.
