In the [[Generation III]] games and their [[Generation VI]] remakes, Professor Birch is the resident Pokémon Professor and the father of the rival character (if the player is {{ga|Brendan}}, then Professor Birch is {{ga|May}}'s father; if the player is May, then Professor Birch is Brendan's father). In the start of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], he must be rescued from a wild {{p|Poochyena}}. In the start of {{game|Emerald}}, he must be rescued from a wild {{p|Zigzagoon}}. After he is saved, he will give the player the starter Pokémon they used in the rescue. Birch distributes [[Pokédex]]es and one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] of Hoenn: {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, or {{p|Mudkip}}, to aspiring Hoenn Trainers.
In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}, Professor Birch is the resident Pokémon Professor and the father of the rival character (if the player is {{ga|Brendan}}, then Professor Birch is {{ga|May}}'s father; if the player is May, then Professor Birch is Brendan's father).


In addition, after the player completes the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Hoenn Pokédex]] in {{game|Emerald}}, he will give them one of the three starter Pokémon of [[Johto]]: {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}}. In {{2v2|Omega Ruby|Alpha Sapphire}}, he will give one of the Johto starters after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]] and meets [[Zinnia]]. Later, after the completion of the [[Delta Episode]], he will give the player one of the starter Pokémon from [[Unova]]: {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, or {{p|Oshawott}}. Finally, after the player enters the Hall of Fame a second time, he will give one of the starter Pokémon from [[Sinnoh]]: {{p|Turtwig}}, {{p|Chimchar}}, or {{p|Piplup}}. He will also give the player the [[Oval Charm]] and [[Shiny Charm]] when the appropriate prerequisites are met.
At the start of the game, he is being chased by a wild {{p|Poochyena}}{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}/{{p|Zigzagoon}}{{sup/3|E}}, and requests the player take a Pokémon from his discarded bag to save him. After he is saved, he allows the player to keep the starter Pokémon they used in the rescue. Birch distributes [[Pokédex]]es and one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] of Hoenn: {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, or {{p|Mudkip}}, to aspiring Hoenn Trainers.

In Omega Ruby abd Alpha Sapphire, he will give one of the Johto starters after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]] and meets [[Zinnia]]. Later, after the completion of the [[Delta Episode]], he will give the player one of the starter Pokémon from [[Unova]]: {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, or {{p|Oshawott}}.

He often works with his child to help observe and capture wild Pokémon. His wife worries about him, because he's always busy and rarely has time to come home. He is known to be more outgoing than the other Pokémon Professors, and oftentimes his research takes him outdoors. His field of study is primarily how Pokémon behave in the wild. Birch has known [[Norman]] since their school days.<ref>http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-gb/characters/professor-birch</ref>

===Pokémon Breeder mini===
In [[Pokémon Breeder mini]], after the player finished setting the time and choosing a name, Professor Birch tells them that he found rare eggs. However, he is too busy to take care of them, so he gives the player a choice between a {{p|Torchic}}, a {{p|Treecko}}, or a {{p|Mudkip}} to hatch and raise.
===Pokémon Masters Arena===
===Pokémon Masters Arena===
In [[Pokémon Masters Arena]], one of the questions in the [[Pokémon Trivia Challenge]] is about which Pokémon attacked Professor Birch. The correct answer accepted by the game is {{p|Poochyena}}, because it was released prior to {{game|Emerald}}, where {{p|Zigzagoon}} attacks him. Zigzagoon is coincidentally listed as one of the answers as well, but it is considered an incorrect answer by the game.

Birch debuted in ''[[AG001|Get The Show On The Road]]'', where he rushed to the [[Littleroot Town]] ports in his SUV to pick up Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}. He soon diagnosed Pikachu with an electrical overcharge and treated him at his lab. However, Pikachu's electricity overloaded the electrical absorption machine and he ran off into the wilderness. Ash and Birch chased after him with the three [[Hoenn]] [[starter Pokémon]] in hand, as Ash had no other Pokémon on him. During the search effort, Birch slipped down a cliff and disturbed a sleeping {{p|Poochyena}} pack in the process. He scrambled onto a tree branch, just as {{an|May}} stumbled onto the scene. After she was unable to properly order {{p|Mudkip}} to help Birch, he forced to take over and had Mudkip settle the situation. After {{TRT}} incidentally helped Pikachu in his recovery, Birch took everyone back to his lab. Later, he had May select her starter Pokémon, and she picked out a {{TP|May|Torchic}}.

In ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme!]]'', Birch was revealed to have traveled to [[Dewford Island]] to conduct field research during the {{p|Wingull}} nesting season. While examining a Wingull nest, he slipped from the sea cliff and subsequently landed on a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Loudred}}. Ash and {{ashfr}} then came across the Professor and later joined him on his expedition. The group noticed a cave and found inside it a [[Secret Base]] belonging to [[Keanu]], but they quickly left after being shouted at. After Team Rocket stormed the Base and stole Keanu's {{p|Nincada}} from him, Birch and the others attempted to confront the trio, but they realized the Base had been tunneled through. They followed the tunnel through to an ancient ruin site, and watched as [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]] confronted each other. Birch and the others remained undetected throughout the whole ordeal.

In the [[AG028|following episode]], Birch spotted several {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Seedot}} wandering around aimlessly because of a recent landslide that left them without a home. He played with the Seedot just before Team Rocket appeared again. When [[Jessie]] called out her "{{p|Silcoon}}", Birch corrected her, saying Jessie actually had a {{TP|Jessie|Cascoon}} under her possession, but Jessie didn't believe him. [[May's Silcoon]] [[Evolution|evolved]] during the confrontation, and Birch later handed May a frisbee to help her new {{p|Beautifly}} strengthen its {{m|Gust}} attack. Later, Birch and the others found an ideal location for the Seedot to drink from, but Team Rocket appeared again to disturb the peace. This time, Jessie's Cascoon evolved into a {{p|Dustox}}, confirming the Professor's earlier statement. After Team Rocket blasted off, and with the Seedot now happily relocated, Birch headed back to Littleroot Town.

As Ash arrived home to [[Pallet Town]], Birch and Max had driven over there to attend the homecoming party in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''. In the [[AG133|following episode]], Birch visited [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], where [[Ash's Muk]] took a particular liking to him. Later, Birch tried to confront Team Rocket, but {{Delia}} told him to leave it to the children, who went on to defeat the trio. With Ash and his friends setting off for the Kanto [[Pokémon Contest]]s and {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, the two Professors gifted Ash and May an updated [[Pokédex]] each.

===Character===
====Character====
Birch has a keen interest in field research and likes to study Pokémon habitats and behaviors. Because his line of work requires him to be primarily outside his lab, Birch's assistant {{OBP|Joshua|assistant}} is often left running the lab in his place, doing duties such as giving new {{pkmn|Trainer}}s their [[starter Pokémon]]. He is good friends with [[Norman]] and was also familiar with Norman's daughter {{an|May}}, as mentioned in ''[[AG001|Get The Show On The Road]]''.

Personally, Birch is jovial and carefree, but he has a reckless driving style in which he regularly jumps ledges and travels on winding mountain roads. He was also a fantastic mentor, even though he does not like teaching, and he is held in high regard by {{pkmn|Trainer}}s like {{jo|Harrison}}. He enjoys playing with Pokémon, as seen in ''[[AG028|Seeing is Believing!]]'', where he quickly understood a group of {{p|Seedot}} and befriended them. However, he often finds himself in precarious situations and is often attacked by [[wild Pokémon]] during his expeditions.
