You can tell that Pokémon Black and White was a soft reboot of the series because right after Gen 4 and Professor Rowan they made the executive decision that every Professor must be young and hot now.
I recall people being like “oh yeah of course the first female Professor in the main games is an attractive lady *eye roll*” but it didn’t really sink in that this was becoming a thing until Arceus’s perfect pretty boy idiot, Sycamore sauntered on to the scene.
And, well, you know the rest right up to now with our new dual docs, Professor Red Sonjia and Dr. GigaChad Lite.
