its really funny to me how despite your background story being exactly the same in every pokemon game

the new kid who just moved to the region and adjusts to culture shock via endless travelling through said region

like….every single professor has noticed this like ‘ah yes you must be the new……..creature……girl…? boy….? anyhow im sure you’ll be fine now go take this level 5 lizard and red smartphone and dont talk to me until youre the champion or filled out your smartphone. or you know what? ill find you.’

anyway despite all that being exactly the same every single pokemon game and all the professors being loveable fun people, Kukui is the only professor who is making sure these 12 year olds are doing ok consistently. Following you around the islands, paying ur bus fare, showing u where the good food is etc.

like hes the only one who it like occurred to him that maybe he should try and watch out for these children in a world filled with crazy world-forming monsters.

“Don’t even speak to me unless you’ve kidnapped all the local gods.”–99% of all Pokemon professors, probably.
