Existing Pokémon Professors now have access to the Professor Community (Prof Com), a centralized location for resources, communications, and networking opportunities that will make it easier to connect with fellow Professors. Prof Com includes a myriad of features, such as:

• News: The latest updates on topics relevant to Pokémon Professors.

• Forums: A place for Professors to discuss issues relating to individual games supported by the Play! Pokémon program as well as a location to connect with other local Professors.

• Events: The home for Professor Seminars and Professor Cups.

• Staff Calls: A centralized location for regional Organizers to post staff calls for their events.

• Directory: Here, Professors can create a profile that lists their specialties and current certifications. They can also opt to provide a public contact email address and appear in a global directory. This way, local Organizers can search for Professors in their area who are interested in helping at in-store events.

• Regional Professor Coordinator (RPC) Contact Page: A way to discover the RPC network and find out who the local RPC is for each region.
