Biography: Professor Joe Maple is a former Pok'emon Professor and a former colleague of Professors Oak and Elm. Nowadays, however, he spends the majority of his time feasting on takeout food and watching daytime television; due to an undisclosed incident, he lost both his laboratory and his reputation within the Pok'emon scientific community.

Thankfully, however, he held on to several of his old gadgets, most importantly his Pok'eDexes and a certain trio of starter Pok'emon. Interestingly, he chooses to gift these to our hero shortly after meeting him; perhaps in the protagonist, he sees a chance at atoning for past mistakes? He will pop up several times throughout the story, and will hopefully prove to be a more engaging Professor character. His eccentric attitude and perverted tendencies will also hopefully be amusing.
