2024/11/27

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 207th lesson on Pokémon biology. For today’s class in Corbin’s apartment, we will be learning all about Gligar: the Fly Scorpion Pokémon! And fly it does… right into your unsuspecting face! Gligar is known for stealthily gliding through the air and into its prey’s face, where it clamps down and jabs them with its stinger. Maybe not the best Pokémon for the kids to play with. And there’s more to learn about Gligar, including its ties to Thanksgiving in Johto,

2024/11/20

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 206th lesson on Pokémon biology. And for today’s lesson, we will be discussing Dunsparce: the Land Snake Pokémon. This normal type Pokémon is a floater, meaning it uses its tiny wings to float around... duh. Many researchers believe these wings were once used to help Dunsparce fly during ancient times. But now, Dunsparce is all about the ground. When it wants to escape, Dunsparce uses its tail to burrow into the ground backwards. I said BACKWARDS - that’s

Welcome to the World of Pokémon ·

2024/11/13

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 205th lesson on Pokémon biology. And in today’s class, we will be discussing Forretress: the Bagworm Pokémon. This bug & steel type is a tough cookie! Forretress is encased in a hard shell, which it uses to defend itself by shooting parts of it out at enemies. Talk about shell shocking… am I right!? But here’s the thing about Forretress: no one actually knows what’s inside the shell. The world’s greatest mystery perhaps? Maybe not, but it's still

It’s made from Pineco’s spit, which hardens when exposed to air. And there’s more to learn about this little fella, so strap in and take notes!►Support the Professor's class on Patreon:

2024/10/30

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 203rd lesson on Pokémon biology. And in today’s special Halloween-themed lesson, we will be learning about Girafarig: the Long Neck Pokémon. Totally on theme, right? Girafarig has an additional head on the end of its tail. Some may find that scary, right? It’s been said that this tail head can’t think much on its own, but is responsible for unleashing Girafarig’s psychic abilities. And also it bites… scaryyyyyy! There’s more to learn about Girafarig, so grab

Welcome to the World of Pokémon ·

2024/10/23

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 202nd lesson on Pokémon biology. For today’s lesson, we will be discussing Wobbuffet: the Patient Pokémon. This chill psychic type rarely attacks first. But when it is attacked, oh boy… you’re in for it. If provoked, Wobbuffet will counter attack you into next week! Wobbuffet also keeps its tail hidden and will protect it at all costs. Some believe its tail holds a special secret. Oooooooh! And there’s more to learn about Wobbuffet, so strap in and take good

Welcome to the World of Pokémon ·

2024/10/16

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 201st lesson on Pokémon biology. And in this class today, we will be taking a field trip to learn about Unown: the Symbol Pokémon. There are 28 different forms of Unown, with each representing a different letter of the alphabet (plus two punctuation marks). Like their namesake, Unown are shrouded in mystery and there’s a lot we don’t know about them. And although these Pokémon are shaped like hieroglyphs, many researchers wonder which came first: the ancient

2024/10/09

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 200th lesson on Pokémon biology. Wow, 200 lessons!? Insane! For today’s class, we will be learning about Misdreavus: the Screech Pokémon. And screech it does indeed. Is that proper grammar? Misdreavus is a mischievous little booger, startling people by yanking on their hair or screaming right in their ears. Listeners, beware! Its shrieks have been known to resemble that of a child’s, which is horrifying. So for parents of young ones, if you hear your “child”

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 199th lesson on Pokémon biology. And in today’s class, we will be discussing Slowking: the Royal Pokémon and other evolved form of Slowpoke. Remember how Shellder loves biting Slowpoke tails? Well guess what… now it’s on Slowpoke’s head. Shellder’s bite releases a toxin that seeps into Slowpoke’s brain, causing it to awaken a newfound intelligence and power like none other - becoming Slowking! So what happens if that Shellder comes off the head? Well, you

Welcome to the World of Pokémon ·

2024/09/25

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 198th lesson on Pokémon biology. For today’s lesson, we will be discussing Murkrow: the Darkness Pokémon (wow so edgy). This nocturnal Pokémon loves anything that sparkles. It’s been known to frequently fight with Pokémon, such as Meowth or Gabite, in order to raid their stashes. And whatever shiny things Murkrow steals, it returns to its trainer. So trainers: is it really theft if YOU didn’t steal it? Something to think about. Many people are superstitious

2024/09/11

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 197th lesson on Pokémon biology. And for today’s lesson, we will be learning about Umbreon: the Moonlight Pokémon and dark type evolution of Eevee. Umbreon is a nocturnal hunter, using its highly-developed eyesight to spot prey in pure darkness. And when Umbreon is ready to attack, the beautiful rings on its body will glow! Believe it or not, Umbreon’s rings will glow for a variety of reasons. “What are they?” I hear you ask. Well, why would I spoil it here

Espeon’s fur is so special that it can sense changes in the weather and predict its enemy’s movements. And on top of that, Espeon can also read your thoughts. So keep it clean, folks… Espeon knows all. And there’s much more to learn about Espeon, so make sure you take detailed notes!►Support the Professor's class

Welcome to the World of Pokémon ·

2024/08/14

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 195th lesson on Pokémon biology. This lesson today is about Quagsire: the Water Fish Pokémon and evolved form of Wooper. Quagsire is a carefree soul, so much so that it is completely unbothered when it swims into boats. So if you’re ever out on a boat and you feel a random bump, it’s probably a dumb Quagsire carelessly swimming. And there’s more to learn about Quagsire, so lock in and take good notes!►Support the Professor's class on Patreon:

Welcome to the World of Pokémon ·

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 194th lesson on Pokémon biology. And today’s lesson is all about Wooper: the Water Fish Pokémon. This cutie loves cold water. And do you know what it loves more than that? Mud! Wooper loves to bury itself in mud while sleeping underwater. Soooo cozy! Wooper is also coated in a toxic, slimy film that keeps it from dehydrating. This slimy film also causes shooting pain if touched barehanded, so be careful. And there’s more to learn about Wooper, including its

Welcome to the World of Pokémon ·

2024/07/17

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 193rd lesson on Pokémon biology. And today’s class is all about Yanma: the Clear Wing Pokémon. Yanma is a masterful flier. So much so that it can make sudden stops and turns midair! That maneuverability is unfathomable. Yanma also has 360-degree vision, meaning it can spot prey in any direction without even moving its eyes. And there’s more to learn about Yanma, so buckle up and take good notes!►Support the Professor's class on Patreon:

Welcome to the World of Pokémon ·

2024/07/10

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 192nd lesson on Pokémon biology. This lesson is on Sunflora: the Sun Pokémon. As you might’ve guessed, Sunflora is all about the sun. Throughout the day, Sunflora is constantly chasing sunlight in order to convert it into energy. And when the sun sets, Sunflora stops moving completely! So Sunflora has gotta make sure it’s not in a bad part of town when the sun sets, if you catch my drift. There’s more to learn about Sunflora, so make sure you’re taking

Welcome to the World of Pokémon ·

2024/07/03

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 191st lesson on Pokémon biology. This class today is all about Sunkern: the Seed Pokémon. This little grass type is a weak one. Pretty puny in fact. But that’s because Sunkern is storing all of its energy for its evolution. Literally all Sunkern does is fall out of the sky and drink morning dew. What a way to live! I would say there’s a lot more to learn about Sunkern, but I’d be lying.►Support the Professor's class on Patreon:

Welcome to the World of Pokémon ·

2024/06/26

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 190th lesson on Pokémon biology. And today’s lesson is all about Aipom: the Long Tail Pokémon. This little cutie uses its strong tail for many things, such as hanging on branches, picking fruits, and more. Because it’s always using its tail, Aipom has weak, baby arms. They’re cute no doubt, but ultimately useless (same). And there’s more to learn about Aipom, so make sure you take good notes!►Support the Professor's class on Patreon:

Welcome to the World of Pokémon ·

2024/06/19

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 189th lesson on Pokémon biology. Wait… no this isn’t a lesson. It’s a village debriefing/announcement/warning. That makes sense, right? Either way, we’re learning about Jumpluff: the Cottonweed Pokémon and final evolved form of Hoppip. Don’t let Jumpluff fool you with its kind face - it drifts on seasonal winds and releases its cotton spores all around the world. And inhaling these spores has been known to cause coughing and itchiness. What a plague Jumpluff

Welcome to the World of Pokémon ·

2024/06/12

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 188th lesson on Pokémon biology. Today’s lesson is all about Skiploom: the Cottonweed Pokémon and evolved form of Hoppip. Skiploom is known for the beautiful bloom on top of its head, which opens and closes as the temperature fluctuates. And like Hoppip, Skiploom also floats! However, it has a bit more control over where it goes. When the weather gets too chilly, Skiploom bids farewell and floats to warmer places. Wish I could do that. And there’s more info
