Professor Willow from 'Pokémon Go' needs to be immediately sacked

LONDON — As somebody who's been life-alteringly hooked on Pokémon Go for over seven months now, I really feel I am as certified as anybody to make the next assertion: Professor Willow, as useful as he might sometimes appear, must lose his job.

The man is actually the worst professor on the earth. 

To start with it kind of appeared like he knew what he was doing. Together with his wild gray hair and lab coat he at the very least appeared the half, and he was there to information us by means of the beginning of the sport in the identical grandfartherly means that Professor Oak used to do. He even had people writing think-pieces about how he was "kind of hot", whereas others truly made fan artwork about him.

However it wasn't lengthy earlier than the cracks started to point out.

First, there was this monstrosity in the long run of October replace.

Now I am no scientist, however I am fairly positive Willow's not going to be getting the Nobel Prize in Physiology anytime quickly for this specific nugget of data.

I imply it is actually taken him greater than three months to work out the color of some eggs.

This was adopted by a collection of different, equally naff "discoveries".

Slowly, the tide of public opinion started to show.

Then December rolled spherical, and Professor Willow took issues one discovery too far.

It is unclear whether or not individuals have been fed up with Professor Willow's "discoveries" by this stage, or whether or not he'd merely grow to be the scapegoat for individuals's growing frustration with the sport generally — however both method, he abruptly turned public enemy primary.

Somebody even began a thread on Reddit describing him because the "worst Professor ever".

Flash ahead now to Feb. 15 and the official announcement of Gen II, although, and Professor Willow is nowhere to be seen.

No mentions of his identify. No mentions of any extra "discoveries".

It appears clear that he is both a) gone into hiding or b) has uncared for his professor duties to such a surprising extent that he hasn't even observed 80+ new species of Pokémon.

At this level, it appears as if the one factor left is for Professor Willow to do the honourable factor and step down.
