He is depicted as a professor that has a tendency to be absentminded, perhaps due to his immersion in his work. His lack of attention to the ouside world was shown in an episode of the Pokémon anime where Team Rocket comes into his lab lost and the professor, not looking up from his work, takes them to be Nurse Joy from the Pokémon Center and tells them to take the Pokémon, which they do. When the real Nurse Joy comes by later on, Elm discovers that his one of his Pokémon, Totodile, has been stolen.
