Professor Elm is the "Pokémon Professor" in charge of giving starting-off trainers their first Pokémon in the video games Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. An old student of Professor Oak, he lives in New Bark Town in the ficional region of Johto where he conducts his Pokémon research on Pokémon evolution and breeding.
He dresses with a shirt that has a stripe across it under his lab robe, pants, and sometimes in night slippers or moccasins. He usually doesn't have time for many other things due to the fact that he gets so immersed in his work. His lack of attention to the ouside world was shown in the episode of the Pokémon Anime titled "Don't Touch That 'Dile!" 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 Totodile has been stolen. With the help of Officer Jenny and the local Police Department the Pokémon is recovered from Team Rocket. This was meant to reproduce the moment in the game where one of his Pokémon is stolen for real and is never recovered.

In the game, this is hinted in a much more stuble manner for only if the player speaks to Elm's wife (neither she nor their child appear in the anime), who worries that Elm hasn't eaten lunch, and checks the trash can in his lab, will he see that he gets so involved in his work that he doesn't have any time left to even worry about eating!
Also, New Bark Town does not have a Pokémon Center in the game. Instead the only way for players to heal their pokémon in this town is with a healing machine identical to that in all the Pokémon centers found in Professor Elm's lab. The robbery of Professor Elm's Pokémon occurs later on here (in the anime it occurs before the new trainer comes to pick a Pokémon). A greedy person (the player's rival) who can't get a Pokémon for himself decides to steal it.
One show of how dedicated Professor Elm is to his work in the game is the quest that he sends the player on which will ultimately get them Togepi.
