>>34506139he's responsible for rotomdex, an entirely new form for a pokemon that allows us to communicate with rotom (and thus through to other pokemon) like he's a human being
studying the creation of pokemon moves is also legit. There's an entire industry to recording pokemon moves onto disk (TMs and HMs) that suggest the process of forming and using these moves is tangible and quantifiable, rather than "spit fire up and down rather than side to side". what about all the other professors that study random shit?
Professor Elm, the lead figure in research into Pokemon breeding who didn't know that pokemon have sex with their dicks and vaginas and pop out eggs?
Samson Oak who is apparently so perplexed by the idea that two different pokemon of one species that branched off into two vastly differing geographical areas that they evolved differently, that he spent his life researching it?
