Professor Juniper is the first female professor in the Pokémon series. Her specialisation is Pokémon origin and she is an old friend of Professor Oak, because who isn’t, right? Her clothes are pretty plain, especially when compared to the other Pokémon Profs.

In Pokemon, James is a member of Team Rocket, a trio that follows Ash Ketchum around trying to steal his Pikachu. If you see James, his mates Jessie and Meowth are usually not far behind.

Lieutenant Surge, aka “The Lightning American” (Fumihiko Tachiki / Maddie Blaustein) is the gym leader of Vermilion Gym. His Pokemon specialization is in Electric-types. During his time in the US Army, his life was saved by Electric-type Pokemon. His love and respect from them stems from that experience, and he appreciates trainers who are gutsy.

In Pokemon Go, Professor Willow introduces beginner trainers to the game by giving them their first pokeballs, and experienced trainers a shot at catching Mew. With his silver fox looks and toned physique, any Pokemon trainer would be happy to follow Professor Willow’s orders.

As the head of Team Rocket and the former gym leader for the Viridian City gym in the Kanto Region, Giovanni chooses Persian as his Pokémon. He normally has a very calm demeanour, trusting Jessie and James despite their nearly uncountable number of failures, but he is really a ruthless and evil leader. Let’s just say his fashion style is… unique.

In Pokemon, Meloetta is all about the music, with musical bar streaks in her hair, quarter notes for hands, and treble clef headpiece. The melodies sung by Meloetta have the power to make Pokémon that hear them happy or sad.
