Why are Professors named after trees?


There's no real reason to why they're all named like this, but rather they
primarily do it to just follow a fun naming scheme. Naming schemes are common
in a lot of media. The most common use of this is the use of the 7 Deadly Sins
as names, found in several pieces of entertainment. You never know though,
Game Freak might run out of trees eventually!
