Again, Professor Rowan is far more like Charles Darwin than Professor Oak, as he actually studies evolution, while Oak does not. Plus, Ash evolves Pokemon himself, while Oak does not. Ash is FAR closer to the subject of Pokemon evolving than Professor Oak is. Not to mention Ash Ketchum travels a lot, and Charles Darwin would travel as well. The closest Professor Oak has to Charles Darwin is that they're both old fucks that study shit, and Charles Darwin could easily be portrayed in his younger appearance as much as his older appearance. Not to mention Ash Ketchum, along with Pikachu, is THE most popular character of the Pokemon franchise and is THE ideal character to use. People may or may not recognize Professor Oak if they aren't used to the older games. At best, Professor Oak could be used as a cameo. He's perfect for the role of a cameo (especially at a line like "Are you a boy or a girl?"), but certainly not as a rapper.
