Professor Hastings (Japanese: シンバラ教授 Professor Shinbara) is a Pokémon professor who lives in Fall City in the Fiore region. He is the Ranger Union's chief of technology. He has a very hasty personality.
Professor Hastings is the creator of the Capture Styler and is an important figure for the Ranger federation. It is one of the hero's first missions to escort him from Ringtown back to Fall City, however along the way they are attacked by the Go-Rock Squad and Hastings's new prototype "Super Styler" is stolen.
Near the end of the game, it is revealed that Hastings and Gordor went to school together and at one point used to work as colleagues.
In the third Ranger Net mission, players are sent to capture a Mew so that Hastings may do research on it.
He reappears in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, investigating the Gigaremo Units. He is the first to discover the Dark Shards inside the machines. After the player becomes a Top Ranger, Hastings appears in the Ranger Union.
Years ago, he, Erma, and Lamont were childhood friends with dreams. His dream was to invent a tool capable of transmiting friendship feelings to Pokémon.
