[Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Lord Windos]

Uh…I honestly don’t know myself, since it never was a concern until now. All I can say is Galar is a hyper capitalist hyper society ala The Black City due to fruitful relations with Neo Unova and other stuff, and that society lenders reflects all the way down to researchers. Which means they more akin to Mallorn in attitude (poke poke poke) and not as focused on caring for most Mons like other Professors would.

Not that the new regional Profess couldn’t be like the typical one, but the odds for that are…low. They could still be rather nice people, just less so and more businesses focused to non friends.

Uh uh…yeah, the plot of SwSh never happened. I alluded to this when the big bad selves his plans in the prologue and him becoming best buddies with Neo Unova (and their region too by extension) to tech up their regions together. The Armament Dogs never got involved, the Claw from Hell is still ‘not a problem’ , and Galar as a whole adapted to the new world order more along the chairman’s and Enigma/Human First beliefs. Chairman is still alive and well too due to Plot reasons, while the major figures of SwSh … *Shrugs*

Kalos is also friendly with Neo U, but guardedly so, and their general culture remains from the games. Team Flare still tried to doom the world, so the region got its wake up call, but it ended up being attributed to more an insane mad man than it completely stigmatized Teams and extremist measures.

I'd still be inclined to say that Sonia could have gotten the title of Professor from her grandmother and written at least part of what she'd discovered about the twin heroes.  Since the main portion of SwSh's story is actually almost completely unrelated to Victor/Gloria's journey until the climax (very stupid story writing decision, btw), most of the discoveries concerning the twin heroes could have actually been made (the key ones being the statues behind the mural Bede destroyed and the old tapestries in the oddest places).  Sonia might be viewed as a bit more...eccentric among her peers without the solid evidence of the actual doggos existing though...so maybe she's just not the main professor in Galar these days?

Victor/Gloria and Hop don't even get the Legendaries until the postgame, so Leon could still have been dethroned as the champion (though with Rose's company's still operating as normal, Galar's Battle Tower might not be a thing here)

Hmm…I’m half inclined to say Rose and Co would’ve classified the Doggi Research at some point due to Enigma (friends, but not stupidly so) , but that doesn’t preclude Sonia becoming a Professor. Just one working more closely and privately with the Powrrs that Be. Legit, but out of focus from the region and world at large.

Rose holds both the Chaiman and Champ Title, while Leon us one of his Champion Class Trainers that can sub in as Champ and splits that side of the workload. They’re pretty chummy, all things considered, and help balance out each other’s quirks and flaws. Leon don’t like Enigma, tho, which is a sore point between them . Hop has become a E4 Class Trainer, details pending.
