Professor Mangrove is the Pokémon Professor in Sage. He resides in the starting town, Dacapo Town. Along with his assistant Sequoia, he works to study Urobos's Pokémon.
Bio
Professor Mangrove is a stubborn, tea-drinking gentleman who is often lost in the beauty of the nature of Pokémon. He came to Urobos to study the diverse fauna shortly after graduating from university, and often dealt with deadly wildlife and other occupational hazards. One of the few foreign scientists in the region, Mangrove soon came to love the folk tales and legends about the local Pokémon, and began trying to sort fact from fiction. What began as a hobby soon turned into a life-long endeavor, and Mangrove is now the undisputed authority on Pokémon in the region. The Professor is still as adventurous as ever, but he simply isn't as young as he used to be.
In his youth Mangrove was good friends with Professor Northington, but this once cordial relationship has grown cold ever since Northington was excised from the scientific community for his more outlandish theories.
Role
Like all Pokémon Professors, Mangrove gives the player and their friendly rival their Starter Pokemon.
