The Professor (EntityTopic, 26)

<[#ontology [kind topic] [cats Puyo_Wars Puyo_series character unimaginatively_named professor]]>
'''The Professor''' is a [[unimaginatively named]] character from [[Puyo Wars]]. As his rather [[sarcasm|well-thought out]] name implies, he apparently is a professor of [[Puyo]] and [[Tectar]]s, though he probably spends more time [[Lemres|eating his lolipop]]. He is the (adoptive) father of [[Daichi]], offering his expertise and [[useless advice|advice]] throughout the game, and raising Daichi from birth, being the only person other than perhaps [[Angol Mois]] that is aware of his origins during the first half of the game.

When on the overworld, [[player]]s can visit his lab (Daichi's house?), where they can tinker with their tectars in a variety of ways. They can also check their [[Pokédex|Tectar encyclopedia]] to view data on any of the 650 tectars they've seen and recruited or built. Other than that though, he is a generally infrequent character.

== Etymology ==
"The Professor" is a translation of "Hakase", which can literally mean 'Doctor' or 'PhD'.
