Talking How many pokemon professors are there?

With talk of a 2006 professor cup I became curious about the current size of professordom if anyone else is similarly curious please post your local numbers and I'll add them to the list.


GB - 20
USA- 416
Canada - 19
NL - 10
Norway - 9

474

that leaves another 230+ to find!

The Professor List on the official website lists 416 professors in the US. I'm not sure if that list is updated live or not, though.

It could all be inactive/banned professors. I'm not sure how you got ahold of the number, and I'm not sure if that's accurate because it seems like a bunch of professors to me. For all we know, the rest of these "unacounted" professors could be in Japan...

For the last few days I haven't been able to access the site to see how many Canadian professors there are. I'll let you know when the site is up for me.

For the Netherlands 10 active professors are listed. Although... only 5 or 6 of them are officially active.

Yeah we have like loads of professors ready to take over the world, including myself. Seriously, it's great to have this much professors because it shows that there are people who can help out in Pokemon when needed.

But still, I thought that Japan had a professor program for their Japanese players, even if it isn't affiliated with POP...

To my knowledge, those are the abbreviations for countries. I didn't see Japan on there, which I've seen abbreviated as JP.
