Professor Rowan (Japanese:ナナカマド博士Dr. Nanakamado) is the residentPokémon Professor ofSandgem Town in theSinnohregion. He specializes inPokémonEvolution.
In the core series games
Professor Rowan works inSandgem Town withDawn/Lucas and their family. This makes him the first Professor from the handheld games that does not live in theplayer's hometown. He left theSinnohregion four years prior to the events ofGeneration IV to studyPokédex systems inKanto withProfessor Oak, and has recently returned at the start ofPokémon Diamond and Pearl, having invented a new Pokédex while working with Oak. He has a stern personality that makes him seem intimidating and mean, but he is actually very kind and patient. Rowan says he still feels a thrill whenever he travels anywhere with his Pokémon. He apparently has a sweet tooth, as the refrigerator in his laboratory is full of nothing but sweets and candy.
Rowan's particular field of study is PokémonEvolution, having discovered that 90% of all Pokémon areconnected in some way to others through Evolution. He is also interested in determining if Evolution is supposed to be a form of Pokémon reaching maturity, or a way for an "incomplete" being to become "more complete," and the implications that the process has onLegendary Pokémon, which were not known to evolve.
InPokémon Diamond and Pearl andPokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Professor Rowan is seen for the first time observingLake Verity with his assistant. After being interrupted by the player andtheir friend, he quickly walks off leaving his briefcase, which holds threePoké Balls containingTurtwig,Chimchar, andPiplup, behind. The player and their friend try to return it to him, but are attacked by wild Pokémon in the process, and are forced to use two of the Pokémon in the briefcase for defense. After returning the Pokémon to Rowan in his lab, Rowan hears about the survival tactics that they used, and tells them to keep the Pokémon, as well as giving them each aPokédex to record data about every single Pokémon.
InPokémon Platinum, however, the player and their friend leaveTwinleaf Town just as Rowan returns from the lake, with Rowan stopping the two from journeying into the tall grass without a Pokémon. His assistant then arrives with the briefcase he left behind at the lake, and Rowan offers the two afirst partner Pokémon. When he is visited in Sandgem for the first time, he hands outTM27 (Return) as well as the Pokédex.
In all five games, just as the player returns fromOreburgh City with theCoal Badge, Rowan and his assistant travel toJubilife City, whereTeam Galactic appears and attempts to seize their research notes. The player and the professor's assistant defeat Team Galactic, causing them to retreat. Rowan then suggests to the player that they collect Sinnoh'sGymBadges.
After the player obtains theMine Badge, Rowan gathers his assistant, the player, and their friend in theCanalave Library, where he tells them about the legends of theLake guardians. Rowan asks the Trainers to journey to the three lakes of Sinnoh to find the legendary Pokémon, sending the player's friend toLake Acuity in the north, his assistant toLake Verity, and the player toLake Valor. Just as they finish their discussion, however, an earthquake shakes the region, caused by the detonation of the Galactic Bomb at Lake Acuity. After seeing the explosion on the news, the four evacuate the building. Rowan reiterates his request for the player to investigate Lake Valor.
He apparently previously gaveCynthia her first Pokémon and a Pokédex, though it is unknown how long before the games' events this occurred.
Professor Rowan is an old friend ofProfessor Oak, and Rowan's assistant claims that Oak is Rowan's junior in terms of seniority. After the player defeats thePokémon League inPlatinum, he can be seen in the basement of theVeilstone Department Store sulking about the fact they've run out ofRage Candy Bars.
Pokémon
InPokémon Diamond, Pearl,Platinum,Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl, Professor Rowan has one of each Sinnoh first partner Pokémon in his briefcase. Prior to meeting the player, he also used to have at least one additional Sinnoh first partner Pokémon of the same species, which he gave to his assistant, theplayer character not chosen.

History
Diamond & Pearl arc
Professor Rowan first appears after he andPlatinum's father,Professor Berlitz, are accidentally knocked onto the ground afterDiamond andPearl crash into them. After yelling at the two boys, Rowan talks to Sir Berlitz about sending his daughter out into the world but notes that since she promised to record the Sinnoh Pokémon, he quickly accepted this and gave a Pokédex, Pokétch, and some Poké Balls for her journey. They quickly meet up withPaka and Uji, two bodyguards hired to protect Platinum on her journey and give them the letter detailing their mission inside of it. Unbeknownst to them, when Rowan and Professor Berlitz were knocked on the ground by Diamond and Pearl, they had accidentally switched letters, causing Diamond and Pearl to take the bodyguard mission while mistaking it for a tour and Paka and Uji getting Diamond and Pearl's prize for winning a comedy competition, a bike ride.
Later, at Professor Rowan's lab, he and Professor Berlitz are discussing the topics on their upcoming presentation in Canalave City. After taking a break for sweets, they set off to Canalave for the conference. Later, they reach Canalave and note the discoveries they can make while Gym LeaderByron talks to his sonRoark on the Pokégear as he passes by them. Sometime later, they go to do their presentation when a woman gives Rowan a newspaper from thePokémon News Press. Rowan just decides to throw it away, failing to notice that Platinum is on the cover and is traveling with Diamond and Pearl instead of her bodyguards.
Later, after Platinum defeatsFantina in their Gym Battle, she sees on the television that both Professor Rowan and her father have gone missing. Platinum, Diamond, and Pearl go to Canalave to find the missing scientists; they eventually find them at theCanalave Gym being held there by the Gym Leader, Byron. After clearing up some misunderstandings, Byron reveals that it was aTeam Galactic Grunt wearing acloak that used a special device to trap the two scientists in a cage.
Later that night, the Advanced level Grunt returns to Canalave to set Professor Rowan and Professor Berlitz from their prison. Although freed from the cage, they are weak from staying inside of it for several days and need crutches just to be able to stand up. After Professor Berlitz allows Platinum to go and defeatTeam Galactic and have Diamond and Pearl as her bodyguards, Professor Rowan upgrades their Pokédex to the National mode and gives them the ability to see gender differences.
During the final battle on theSpear Pillar, Rowan and Professor Berlitz join Byron and theUnderground Man as bystanders while the other Sinnoh Gym Leaders fight against Team Galactic. They use a machine to monitor the distortion of space-time asDialga andPalkia battle each other.

He did not see Hareta again for four years.
Professor Rowan made his first appearance inIn Search of the Legendary Pokémon Dialga!! where he saw Hareta after he dealt with anOnix. He took him andMitsumi to aPokémon Center inSandgem Town. He then spoke to Mitsumi about Hareta.

After Jupiter fled, Professor Rowan explained about thelake trio as to how Team Galactic was going to capture them for their hunt forDialga. Professor Rowan assigned Mitsumi and Jun to go to the lakes where the three Pokémon live.
InTeam Galactic's Ultimate Warrior, afterCyrus succeeded in obtainingMesprit atLake Verity, Professor Rowan came by and spoke to Cyrus.

Cyrus was unfazed about this as he has a greatest warrior and mentioned that she was someone that he knows quite well.
Professor Rowan went withCynthia toSpear Pillar inThe Advent of the Legendary Pokémon!! in order to find Hareta to warn him aboutPalkia. InWill Hareta's Wish Get Through?!, he encountered Jun and Jupiter where he told Jupiter that he didn't have time for that when Jupiter prevented him from getting through and then told her that the entire world was in danger. He then continued his way to Spear Pillar with Jun and Cynthia. Arriving in Spear Pillar, he witnessed Hareta's battle with Cyrus. After Dialga was freed from theRed Chain, Professor Rowan went to Cyrus and told him about his defeat. Afterwards, Palkia appeared with Professor Rowan informing Hareta about it. InBonds Connect Across Space-Time..., Professor Rowan explained to Hareta the origin regarding the fight between Dialga and Palkia. He then saw that Hareta had a Master Ball and had an idea where they'll stop fighting if one of them got caught with the Master Ball. This made Hareta set out to do so.
InClash! Hareta vs. Koya, Professor Rowan arrives at theSinnoh League Tournament. He thought about how far Hareta came. He then reunited with Hareta as he wanted to see him in action. He stayed in the Sinnoh League watching Hareta's battles with the other Trainers. InA Surprise Visit from Hareta's Father!, he saw that Kaisei was there watching his son in the Sinnoh League and informed Mitsumi and Jun that Kaisei was Hareta's father. Later, he then witnessed Neo Team Galactic infiltrating the Sinnoh League and had Mitsumi and Jun stop them.
InHareta's Excellent New Partner...Minun?!, Professor Rowan met up with Hareta, Mitsumi, and Jun at theCanalave Library. They spoke about Giratina and while Professor Rowan didn't have much information about Giratina, Kaisei would.
InGathering of the Legendary Pokémon!, Professor Rowan was notified byB-2 aboutGiratina fighting Dialga and Palkia. He was then taken to where the battle took place.
