Description

"U-Uwaah!" *faceplant* 

"O-Oh my! I'm sorry about that. Let's start over again, shall we? Ahem..."

"Welcome to the world of Pokémon! I am Ginkgo, the Excelo region's Pokémon Professor. This world of ours is widely inhabited by creatures known as Pokémon! These mysterious creatures can be found all around our world. Some live in the wilds, others have grown accustomed to living among us! Many of us share invaluable bonds with Pokemon in our everyday lives. Despite our close relationship with Pokemon, there are many things we don't know about them. And that's my duty as a Pokemon Professor to find out more! Why just yesterday we found a colony of DRAGANTE living out on Mt. ... oops! Can't let myself get carried away now. Let's get started with some quick questions... Are you a boy? Or are you a girl?"

Professor Ginkgo
PKMN Professor
Age: 23
Favorite Type(s): Rock
"Professor Ginkgo is the Pokemon Professor of the Excelo Region. Her primary focus is studying Pokemon prehistory/history. She hands out one of three Pokemon (Gujarial, Tiglaze, and Platypow) to beginning trainers in Ambrias Town. She is the successor to the now retired Prof. Biloba Ginkgo, her mother. Being a new professor in the field isn't easy, as shown by her clumsy disposition. But her enthusiasm for the subjects carry her onward... until she trips over that stray folder in the lab."

Trivia
Later on, Professor Ginkgo is the person trainers head to for reviving fossil Pokemon!
She wears a ginkgo leaf hairpin and amber beads to tie her hair up.
Her mother is still alive and kicking, travelling through the Excelo Region for her research. Don't worry, she's got pretty powerful Pokemon to protect her!
Outside of research and fossils, Professor Ginkgo is a huge anime nerd. During her free time, she loves watching her favorites such as Beartic Cafe, Mobile Suit Golurk, and Faint la Faint. 

=============================

This was a fun character to draw. Her profession was clear to me when I thought about it, as the Excelo Region is well-known for its prehistory focus. I also loved the idea of having a clumsy professor in the lab, reviving fossils and tripping over nothing. Her name comes from the Ginkgo tree, a living fossil from 270 million years ago. Fitting, no?

I made this long before Dr. Alphys was introduced by Undertale, but I can see the resemblance, haha.

WELL, I just came across this recently, and this is undoubtedly one of my favorite Pokemon Professor OC's on this site!

Mostly because my own character, Professor Cycas (Aka Professor Tipsy), is also a Fossil enthusiast, and eagerly studies Pokemon prehistory and biological lineage! As well as the author of the ongoing project, the Pokemon Field Guide.

Professor Tipsy and his team, The Archosaur Brigade, humbly greet this fellow paleontologist. And can't wait to see what this region has to offer. ^^

Thank ya very much! Although I did have a question about the Excelo Region!

I'm kind of assuming here the regions in Pokemon are bases off real locations. I.e Unova is modeled from New York, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh are based off various regions in Japan, while Kalos is mostly based on France.

About what would Excelo's real life counterpart be? Just asking cuz I don't think there's any info on the region itself.

Dragonith In reply to TipsyRa1d3n [2016-05-18 03:31:09 +0000 UTC]

There's no map yet, but the region would be loosely based on a much smaller scale version of Gondwana and Laurasia.

Ah, gotcha. Thank ya! In which case, hope I manage to portray the region and its Pokemon just right!

I prefer Guraena Laglarge. Rayquaza Stones and Rayquaza Stones Delta Mega were also good shows too in my opinion. Mewtwo is one of my favorite anime antagonists. A lot of people disliked the Hoopa saga but I kinda liked it actually. Not the best of all the sagas but it was alright in my opinion.

ginkgo... She's a female right? I know the professors are named after trees, but the female professor was named after the bush, juniper!

Well... Yeah now that you mention it... Wow. I'm really blind, but what I'm trying to say is that shouldn't she be named after a bush? The males are trees, females are bushes!

Dragonith In reply to randomdood39 [2015-05-13 05:35:42 +0000 UTC]

There's literally been like... 1 main female professor thus far, and this is excluding anime-exclusive professors. The plant her name along with her father's (Cedric Juniper) is based on is doubled as a shrub or an evergreen tree; not just a bush.

As for all else, I prefer this name just for the sake of it. I'm not changing it. It's still a plant which goes with the theme after all.

Nice hair, nice base characterization, and her mom's name made me laugh. Cool idea to have the professor be fossil specialized, it's nice when they aren't just "General Pokemon Professor" and have some sort of focus.

Dragonith please seriously consider my comments from you last post. You really do fantastic work and your designs may very well bring a fresh take on the Pokemon franchise. Please consider trying to sell these designs to Nintendo. If a game is made out this then I will be the first to buy all the games that come out your designs. Continue the great work!

Dragonith In reply to Sushi250 [2014-09-29 01:04:03 +0000 UTC]

It's not that I don't consider the option. Game Freak just doesn't necessarily get assistance from random fans for their games. I'm pretty content with how things are for now tbh.

Sushi250 In reply to Dragonith [2014-09-29 01:13:38 +0000 UTC]

Well maybe. Have you tried e-mailing some of your designs to them? I'm pretty sure Game Freak and Nintendo have people checking the thousands of e-mails they receive and sort out the important ones from the junk. But if your happy then I guess we have to live with that.

Nah. They probably don't have people, they have computer programs, that are programmed to trash the fan idea mails.

Dragonith In reply to MichaelRaptor [2014-09-28 22:37:42 +0000 UTC]

Would've made more sense to use my region's fossils I admit, but I just went with Kanto's for simplicity's sake. Not like she doesn't collect fossils not native to her home region anyways.
