We’re kicking things off with one of the worst fathers in video games who also gives off extreme daddy energy. Professor Turo from Pokémon Violet is a terrible caregiver to his son Arven. The scientist is so obsessed with studying the future evolution of Pokémon that he neglects his son for years and ultimately is killed for his hubris. When he miraculously time travels and visits the future before his death, all he cares about is furthering his research, not seeing his son before he goes.

But goddamn, I felt a whole other kind of sexual awakening when Game Freak revealed him, so he has to go on the list as a video game daddy.
