Pokemon Character Reviews: Generation II



Do I haaave to? Once its novelty wore off as Pokemon's first sequel and the third generation got so much weirder, it became painfully obvious how bland the second generation's new Pokemon really were as a whole, and the human cast isn't a whole lot better. A dark time for Pocket Monsters, I think.



PROFESSOR ELM

I do at least like this generation's professor a fair bit. Oak is such a laid back older scientist, practically retired from any challenging work we've ever seen, while Elm is still relatively young, disorganized and overworked, a more relatable researcher who's up long hours at his computer completely forgetting to bathe or feed himself, which isn't a joke I'm making up but entirely canon according to the anime.
