Professor Rowan (Japanese: ナナカマドはかせ Dr. Nanakamado) is the resident professor of Sinnoh. His Japanese name is the word for the Rowan tree, going with the pattern established by the English translation of the games of naming the regional professor after a tree. His English name was revealed to officially be Professor Rowan as well.
Professor Rowan is an old friend of Professor Oak.
In the anime
In the anime, he first appeared in Following a Maiden Voyage to give Dawn her Piplup.
Pokémon
He also has these Pokémon to give to new trainers:
In the games
Professor Rowan works in Sandgem Town with Dawn/Lucas and their family. He has a stern personality that makes him seem intimidating, but he still feels a thrill whenever he travels anywhere with his Pokémon. He apparently has a sweet tooth, as the refrigerator in his laboratory is full of nothing but sweets and candy.
In the manga
In Pokémon Special, he gave Berlitz three Pokétches, three Pokédexes and Turtwig (for Diamond), Chimchar (for Pearl), and Piplup (for herself)
In Pocket Monsters DP, Professor Rowan adopted Hareta as a son. However, on seeing Hareta's ability to understand the souls of Pokémon, he felt it was best to leave him out in the forest with his Pokémon friends to care for him. He did not see Hareta again for four years. Deciding it would help the boy to travel and see the world, the Professor decided he should be a Pokémon Trainer and travel with his assistant, Mitsumi, and one of his Pokémon, Piplup.
