Professor Oak is never jealous of anyone, and certainly not his friends. Rowan is by far one of the few people who he can treat as an intellectual equal, so he is more than happy to swap stories, and even the schematics on the Pokedex. After all, he enjoys making upgrades and being able to collect encyclopedic data on different Pokemon in the various regions, so why shouldn’t he share with the rest of the scientific community?

Of course, it’s still staggering, when he realizes what Rowan has managed to do. He cannot figure out how the man has redesigned his brainchild. Portable scanners, perhaps, or do the Pokemon in the Sinnoh Region simply placidly stay skill and allow for more in-depth scanning before fleeing or attacking?

No, he cannot imagine that.

Then it must be that some new configuration of equipment simply functions more efficiently now. It even gives information on what times of day certain rarer species of Pokemon can be obtained! Fascinating!

The Trainers are certainly happy – he has seen more than one go on television, advertising how awesome the Sinnoh Pokedex is.

Oak feels slightly envious, but no matter what, the Pokedex is still his, and everyone who is anyone knows it.

Right…?

This is just my speculating and happiness because it’s so nice that the Pokedex in Sinnoh only requires you to see the Pokemon, not catch them!
