Professor Juniper

Professor Aurea Juniper is the regional Pokémon professor of Pokémon Black and White. She uses a Minccino in the introduction. She is the person who sets off you and your rivals on their adventures. Right at the start of the game, you see her enter and quickly exit a house then you see you and your friends standing in front of a green box, you open it and find three Pokémon as in all the other games you choose first. Your male rival Cheren chooses the Starter with the type advantage over yours, while Bianca chooses the remaining Starter.

In the Anime
She has given Ash Oshawott after learning that Oshawott followed Ash up to where he is. She also gives Trip a Snivy for his starter.

In the Manga
She is still set to appear. Though it is stated that she was the one who gave the Pokédex to Black, Bianca and Cheren.
