Professor Rowan

"Hello there! It's so very nice to meet you! Welcome to the world of Pokémon!"
"My name is Rowan. However, everyone just calls me the Pokémon Professor. Before I go any further, is this your first adventure? If you need advice, I'm certainly capable of giving it.
"Would you like to know more about anything else?"*
"This world is widely inhabited by creatures known as Pokémon. Here, I have a Poké Ball. Touch the button on the middle of the Poké Ball, if you'd please."
"No, no! Not that button! The button on the Poké Ball."*
"We humans live alongside Pokémon as friends. At times we play together, and at other times we work together. Some people use their Pokémon to battle and develop closer bonds with them. What do I do? I conduct research so that we may learn more about Pokémon. Now, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself? Are you a boy? Or are you a girl?"
"All right, so you're a boy/girl?"
"Tell me, what is your name?"
"Your name is Platnium?"
"Ok... So, you're Platnium? A fine name that is! Now this boy here... I believe he's your friend. What might his name be?"
"Barry, is it? That's your friend's name?"
"Alright, Platnium, the time has come. Your very own tale of grand adventure is about to unfold. On your journey, you will meet countless Pokémon and people. I'm sure that along the way you will discover many things, perhaps even something about yourself. Now, go on, leap into the world of Pokémon!"

Like most Pokemon Professors, Professor Rowan seems too invested in Trainer’s Names and genders
