Professor Sycamore: Difference between revisions

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 [[Prof's Letter]] to the {{kal|Grace|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.

The player first meets him in [[Lumiose City]], where he will battle the player and, afterward, gives them one of the three Kanto starter Pokémon. On the way to [[Shalour City]], he will instruct the player to meet [[Gurkinn]], the Mega Evolution guru, to learn and get a better understanding about [[Mega Evolution]]. Later, he appears at the [[Coumarine City]] monorail station and talks to [[Diantha]] about Mega Evolution and how it may be possibly related to the bonds between Pokémon and their Trainers. There, he will congratulate the player for using Mega Evolution for the first time and gives them {{HM|02|Fly}}.

After being defeated for the first time in Lumiose City, Professor Sycamore will let the player choose themselves one of the [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]]. After the player has chosen their Pokémon, Professor will also give the player the starter's final evolution's respective [[Mega Stone]] (if Charmander was chosen, the Charizardite received will depend on the version of the game that's being played).

Professor Sycamore debuts in the {{MangaArc|X & Y}}. He is first seen messaging {{adv|Trevor}} via [[Holo Caster]] to inform him that the package of starter Pokémon he requested has been sent to Trevor's house. When Trevor arrives to take the three Pokémon, he is shocked to find the Legendary Pokémon [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} have appeared and begin battling each other. The battle causes destruction and mass panic in Vaniville Town, but Trevor manages to record footage of the event on his Holo Caster before it gets damaged. Once the two Pokémon leave, Trevor decides to travel with his friends to find answers as to what happened while also wanting to meet up with the professor in Lumiose City.

It was first seen alongside the other Kanto starters watching the footage of the battle between {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Later, it watched the battle between [[Salamè|Charmander]] and {{adv|X}}'s {{p|Chespin}}, [[Marisso]]. When Charmander did damage to Marisso, Bulbasaur congratulated Charmander, embarrassing him.

|desc={{p|Squirtle}} is one of the Pokémon that hangs around Professor Sycamore's lab. It was first seen alongside the other Kanto starters watching the footage of the battle between {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Later, it watched the battle between [[Salamè|Charmander]] and {{adv|X}}'s {{p|Chespin}}, [[Marisso]]. When Charmander did damage to Marisso, Squirtle began clapping, embarrassing Charmander. It later accompanied Sycamore to the Sundial at Anistar City.

|desc={{p|Charmander}} is one the Pokémon that hangs around Professor Sycamore's lab. It was first seen alongside the other Kanto starters watching the footage of the battle between {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Sometime after, Charmander escaped from the lab and took a nap in a flower bed on {{rt|4|Kalos}}, where its tail caused the flowers to catch fire. The fire was put out by {{p|Froakie}}, who Charmander had recognized since they both belonged to the Professor. After returning it to Professor Sycamore, the Professor decided to have a battle with {{adv|X}} and chose Charmander to use against {{p|Chespin}}. Chespin was defeated by Charmander, and to Professor Sycamore's surprise, X took Charmander with him and named it Salamè.}}

* Sycamore is the only [[Pokémon Professor]] to hand out [[starter Pokémon]] that {{DL|Starter Pokémon|Kanto|were not}} introduced in {{DL|Starter Pokémon|Kalos|his generation}} upon first meeting the {{player}}.
