Talk:Professor Kukui

Speech

His Japanese trailer has a lot more dialog from him than the English version. One immediately obvious character trait is that he speaks in an extremely casual style for a man of his age and position. The lone English line of his in the US/UK trailer shows its maintained in the English text. This seems a prominent enough character trait to add to the page. --Deuxhero (talk) 00:36, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Kukui's Rockruff

He was shown to own a Rockruff today in footage from Pokenchi. Nutter Butter (talk) 23:49, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

It looks like it could very easily have just been a clip from the game's intro. I.e., that'd be like saying Sycamore owns a Gogoat. Tiddlywinks (talk) 00:29, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

wait... why don't we say Sycamore owns a Gogoat? Nutter Butter (talk) 16:14, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

...Why should we? It happens in every game. And is there ever a point in the rest of the game that shows any of the professors with the intro Pokemon again? Tiddlywinks (talk) 16:21, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

Is there ever a point in the rest of the game that shows the Old Man from Kanto's Weedle again? Or Calem/Serena's Bunnelby that they catch in the tutorial? But those are listed.

Even if we make a unique section for "in opening" like how Calem/Serena have "Caught in tutorial", it should be mentioned somewhere. Nutter Butter (talk) 18:39, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

I'm really not sure about that... Go back and watch Sycamore's intro. Are you gonna tell me that's part of the "real (Pokemon) world"? At the end, you go through a door of light in the middle of the room. It's just an abstract thing. I don't think hardly any of the intros make strict sense (especially the professors' dialogue) if you try to imagine it as actually happening "for real". Maybe ORAS, but it's still presented in a relatively unique circumstance.

The catching tutorials are not even remotely the same thing. Tiddlywinks (talk) 19:01, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
