I Ranked ALL 12 Pokemon Professors | Mr1upz 

It's my headcanon that Rowan has a double-barrel shotgun, chainsmokes cigars, chugs whiskey, and is the reason for Ursaluna's extinction. He is the Teddy Roosevelt of the Pokemon universe.

Professor Laventon is my guy. The man finds you the player, a random person who just washed up on the beach and doesn’t know anyone, and he gives you a place to stay, gives you a job and stands up for you in front of the whole town. Later when the town turns its back on you he’s once again in your corner. He gives you shelter when you’re on missions, actually goes out into the wild with you and works with you to build the Pokédex. Plus the man made the FIRST ever Pokédex and his personal insights and comments in it are awesome.

"In an other era, they would have erected statues of this man, with the body of a Machoke and a groin of a Barboach". Peak literature right there.

“No nonsense, 442 formation, toe-punting the ball professoring” Professor Rowan is the Sean Dyche of the Pokemon universe

Miss FINSTER outranks all of them by default She could solo Anime Leon with her bare hands

Birch specialises in studying Pokémon in their own habitats, right in the wild... And wears flip-flops. The guy thinks he's Kukui, he thinks he specialises in tanning on an Alolan beach...

Bro is finding literally ANYTHING to rank these days 💀 can’t complain tho, content still goated

“Officer please leave the stolen Chikorita, this man needs his PC checked” that had me dying.

6:20 "Said Who? SAID ME!"

Elm being deemed a sideman is painful but true

"Patrats are Big fans of Young Sheldon" I was doing right fainting any one I came across.

Surprised by the lack of Burnett. Goes from dreaming up legendaries for a living to keeping Kukui on a leash while studying monstrosities from different dimensions.

As a huge Mr1Upz fan, I wanna recommend a few video ideas, since I'm worried you might run low! 1-9) Obviously, the easiest ones are just for you to rank all the Pokemon in a single region 10) Ranking Pokemon games themselves 11) Ranking Z moves (ngl I feel like this one could be really funny if you do it right) 12) Ranking Route 1 encounters (this one's pretty off-the-shits) Lastly, because I feel like there's not a lot of Alola respect on this channel, either 13) Ranking the Kahunas and Trial Captains or 14) Ranking the Trial Bosses!!

Every sentence you say is just absolute peak content, I can't understand how you're able to pull this off every single time. Congrats on the new ranking! This video made my day already.

Juniper,Sonia,and Sada are the best Pokewaifus besides Cynthia but I am suprised Pokemon doesn't have a Archelogogy Professer yet also Burnett got the best glow up! When she went to Alola she became better.

You'd cut banger promos man 😂 Trips has gotta sign you

Had my first GCSEs today you don’t know how much I needed this. Thank you you bloody legend.

The akianu meme caught me off guard😂😂😂

They running out of trees to name these professors after

12:38 The Sanhedrin chucking Leaf Stones at Stephen is up there with Moses ripping the Red Sea with a beyblade in terms of legit bible lore.

I have been noticing more brazil references in your bag, also the the whole rowan part was great, the 4-4-2 formation was good stuff.

Best dad Kukui has to be high on this list. We can all agree Professors start becoming much hotter when we get to Juniper. Not saying the ones before weren't hot everyone has their own taste, but the hotness level increases drastically

I dunno how you come up with it but these jokes Never miss. Some of the most consistently funny scripting I've ever heard.

This is easily one of the most unique lists you’ve made. If I were to request a list, I’d love to see like your Top 10 fav Pokémon trainers (Gym Leaders, Professors, Champions, Elite Four, Rivals etc.) or your Top 10 fav Pokémon overall.

Oh my god, Come As You Are WAS the first riff I ever learned. I still remember it, I was like...5, begging my older brother to teach me how to play even ONE thing off of the mixtape he made me for my birthday. He finally relented and wrote it out as a tab for me, despite the fact that I couldn’t even really get my teeny tiny arms around the guitar lol Another truly superlative, hilarious video as always. I need to learn to stop eating/drinking anything while watching your stuff, one of these days I’m gonna get hit with an unexpected joke and choke to death on a corn flake or something.

That whole professor Elm Bit had me in fucking tears son LMFAOOOOOO

Thanks!

First time Gen 1 ever got a win aside from technically Beedrill. Lets fucking go.

OH LORD Christmas has come early and this this is the pogostick I've been waiting for

your banter, vibe, and accent always make my day :) keep it goin' Goober

Yes! The professors tier finally! I love your tiers man!

Bro is cooking up *in sequence* . Love to see it.

Will you be doing a rerank of all the paldea trainers now that a bunch of new trainers and updated teams have come in?

Yes! Been hoping he'd do this one.

His banter is the highlight of my day. I always am cracking up during these videos lads😂😂

I tried to save Elm but the everstone was in gen2. He didn’t even try to find munchlax.

This man NEVER misses when it comes to commentary 💪🏽

9:13 bruh the Big Lez reference had me in stitches 😂

More 1upz we ballin

Oak has the nostalgia but turo has the future robots, the cool tech suit, the chad face meme and him having an ai robot him makes more sense then sada having one XD

I value Birch a bit more highly because he's the first we saw actually in the field doing something. And he DID have pokemon with him, you grabbed your starter out of his bag. He just tripped and dropped it and the dog was after him before he could grab it. He wasn't' dumb enough to go unarmed, he just got startled at the wrong moment. Plus having that "friend's clumsy dad" thing elevates him for me, actually having a bit of character. Though I'd only raise him by putting Sycamore below him, I just don't care for the man or trust his research skills. Feels to me like last decade's rival character was forced to get a job. Still jumping children and trying to fight the evil team.

Never knew i needed this list.

Love the mega man music being used, love to see the people I watch are cultured af

I'm surprised Jacq wasn't mentioned

Here I'm here! Let's gooooo! (Now do the frontier brains)

Always a good day when the boy uploads

2 videos within a month what a blessing from almighty 1upz

Watching this in my 1upz shirt

HE'S BAAAAAAAAAAAACK

Kukui turns me into a rock type. Catch me out here spamming harden

You actually learn a lot of things about❤ Sonia's gym challenge during the story. Like how she participated in the same gym challenge with Leon, the fact that she befriended Nessa during that gym challenge and that (if you read Opal's notes about Leon and Sonia) you realize that she very likely gave up her gym challenge after losing at Opal's gym. It's also very likely that she decided to participate as an electric type user considering that Yamper is her only (known) pokemon. Which kinda explains as well Nessa's connection to her and Milo. And when it comes to her character I really like how Sonia's arc was about her not having an objective and doing things out of obligation rather than passion. Since it was her grandmother the one that commanded her to investigate the darkest day in the first place after she noticed that Sonia was using "being her assistant" as a way to excuse the fact that she wasn't moving forward with her life like Leon, her friend Nessa (and Raihan) and even compared to the player and Hop that by comparison had meaningful objectives and rivalries. That's why Leon hesitate a bit and had barely nothing to say about her when he introduced Sonia to the player. And it's also why Sonia could only mention things from the past, during their gym challenge to present herself to the player. That's also the reason why her grandmother told her: "Those two young trainers are setting out on a journey but what are you doing with your life?". But she grew to really care about the task that she was doing and took a genuine interest in the legends of galar and in the idea of looking for the truth until the end. And when it comes to her achievements as a pokemon professor I think she should be higher because not only she gained the respect and approval of her grandma and became one of the youngest pokemon professor to date but she also actively helped to discover the secrets of the legends of her own region, the existence of two legendary pokemon that were unknown until that moment and put her findings in a book that even got published and super popular. To the point where you can even find it in Naranja/Uva academy. Which is easily the biggest and most renowned school of any pokemon game. And then she got even more development in the post-game when she got betrayed by her own assistant but didn't let that mistake discourage her and kept helping you, the player, and Hop to stop the plans of Swordward and Shieldbert. And after finishing her book she even keeps moving forward towards new goals by doing research in the crown tundra about the Cobalion, Virizion and Terrakion. You can tell that she really grew as a person and keeps moving forward even after her huge achievements. She even took Hop as her apprentice and also forgave her old assistant.

Let’s go!!

LET'S GOOOOOO

Mr.1upz videos are top notch 😎😆

Goated video again. How about trying your hand at ranking frontier brains, or baby Pokémon, or superbosses, or all paldea trainers since the indigo disk came out? Just throwing it out there.

Sycamore gives "20 INT while dumping WIS" energy.

I do enjoy all the wrestling jokes/references you make in your videos

Wait what’s the Masked Royal doing here this is a professor list

I'm super early, love your work 🎉

Were eating good with all this quality content

Ranking can cause divisions among people, but this guy spends so much time being hilarious that I can’t imagine anyone even having the time to disagree. The journey through is great!

I stand by this. If Kukui and Leon ever teamed up, that is a Two Man Power Trip. They running the regions in a couple hours, minimum difficulty

Fresh video on the Same day my fresh green Senior 1 Upz shirt showed up What a time to be alive

Ngl, i thought Sonia was the professor. Didnt play gen 8

this is a certified banger

I think Professor Burnet and especially Professor Cedric Juniper should have been mentioned given they do have important to their relatives on thid list.

Brock is upset you didn't include Professor Ivy

Funny thing about not finding Oak randomly during your journey, in the Electric Tale Of Pikachu manga Ash meets Professor Oak on Mt Moon, who is dressed as a Clefairtly. Ash also got his Pikachu by finding it in his house nibbling on cable wire.

another banger

Juniper must love pokemon a whole lot to risk waking up some day and seeing a Watchhog standing in her house

Professor Oak is a classic and deserves #1 from just being iconic, but ngl, Kukui is probably my favorite. He’s just the homie throughout your entire journey and is an absolute unit

Professor Sammy Oak's deathbed wish was fucking hilarious. I could just imagine him doing a dramatic hand on forehead moment at "It's too late for me, boys!" That Barboach joke at the end didn't quite hit though. Still, Oak at the Opera more than made up for it.

Kukui should've won alone on the fact that he actually finished raising Ash, turns out our boy only needed a father figure and he went from jobber to Regional Champion to the best trainer IN THE WORLD. And, have you looked at the S-tier waifu he landed? The man lost no time, married her and had a child so fast that Ash leaving wouldn't cause them empty nest syndrome.

I love the idea of Kukui being the person who decides the attack damage of every move. Because that implies that he not only met every single legendary, but was so much of a gigachad that he took everyone of their signature moves to the chest. AND SURVIVED. My goat.

nah birch face on top of akainu is crazy. couldnt stop laughing

Streets need to see a 1upz vid ranking which region/generation has the best/worst designs in the same format of his “Which type has the best design” video from awhile ago

Sonia doesn't have tenure yet so she needs to be out there in the trenches.

I don't accept anything but absolute respect for daddy Rowan, the professor of professors. Not only are there three major researchers that came right from under his wing (reminder that Cynthia is also an active researcher in the field of history and mythology) but he also teaches children at a study summer camp, man is singlehandedly upkeeping the academic community

Can’t wait to double feature this treasure with Zoe Bee’s professor ranking video (by how good they are as actual professors) during writing sessions for years to come.

Magnolia is like a supply professor they sent in because the regular professor was off sick

I LITERALLY JUST READ A COMMENT ON ONE OF YOUR VIDS SAYING "You should do the professors or smth" AND I SEE THIS IN MY SUBSCRIPTION TAB OMG

Yo think you can rank every gym puzzles? Maybe include the trail challenges

My favorite it Juniper. Her study seems to be by far the most interesting and important. I love her design, and she felt so new (which fits Unova) as the first female professor.

Didn't think the last word I'd hear in this video would be "Barboach" but here we are

The nidorino from the intro of RBY is Oak's

I don't think you've done this yet, but you should do the secret/super bosses ranking!!!

I was just watching the Turquoise Frisby video when this dropped!

I could like your video without a second of watchtime

Turo and Sada being the only ones who canonically died in the name of their research has to put them near the top of the list. The Marie Curie of the Pokémon world, discovered time travel and all the negative effects that go with it.

Kind of shocked this hasn’t been done before tbh

Looker missions is banger post game

Kukui better be near the top

I remember Professor Elm because that was my first Pokémon game that was 100% nine. Him and Birch

2 posts in 2 weeks???

What app do you get that tier list ?

It's definitely true that the top spot came down to Kukui and Oak just... Astronmomically ahead of all the others. I'm a Sun/Moon apologist, so I lean Kukui. He's got so much personality, literally throws down with pokemon, and is a happily married man. Oak, we never really find out about his family besides Gary/Blue, but is that because things fell apart with Agatha and they divorced? These are the questions. Kukui has his bases answered.

Elm getting roasted got me good lmao

Professor 1Upz!

Juniper and that skirt are always top of the line for me. Also gotta give props to Kukui putting a ring on another professor as fine as he is, but somehow managed to become his own competition for her affection while wearing a mask lol.

I look at the thumbnail and first thing I see is venusaur Im just sitting here thinking "ah yes Venusaur, My favorite pokemon professor"
