Hello there, and welcome to the world of Pokémon.
My name is Professor Jacob, and thank you so much for attending
this lecture on Pokémon biology. Joining me here in the classroom
today as, of course, my wonderful teaching assistant,
Mr. Curtis. Mr. Curtis, I can't help but
know you're the only one here in the classroom.
Yes, I know. Isn't it so calm and peaceful?
Don't tell. Me.
Don't tell me our other. Doing some kind of bits again,
we're doing some kind of bit where Mr., where, where Corbin
comes in late. No, no, no.
Corbin. Corbin is just he, he wasn't
feeling too well. He texted and said that he
wasn't coming in today, that he was calling out from class.
He had a doctor's note. I think it was forged by Gordon,
his roommate. That's a cadabra dressed like a
Mr. Rhyme. But but it is.
Easy for the. Yes, but he did.
But we did get a doctor's note delivered and that has a copy at
the front desk, so. OK.
But it sounds like somebody walking down the hall and we're
like right at the end of the hall.
So is somebody. I mean, no, no, no, no, that,
that I'm sure that's just Annette coming to deliver the
copy that. 4 You see that guys? I found the soccer ball outside.
It's a weird looking soccer ball that doesn't look like any
soccer ball I've seen. It's not very comfortable to
kick, but Oh my God, it is fun to kick.
Oh my God, it's so much destruction.
Look at this guys. Look at this.
Don't kick it. Look at that.
Don't kick it up. Weird.
It's got a bunch of like icicles or something poking out of it.
They don't break like icicles. So I just keep kicking it and it
just doesn't really, you know, seem to shatter.
But anyways, welcome everybody. Let me, I'll grab the ball here
and take a seat. So that's that's our our young
trainer and training Corbin. So I guess So what was?
What was the? Budding soccer star.
Yeah, I mean, listen, honestly, that's better than your rapping
career, so. Right, All right.
Hey. So and it's healthy too.
So go ahead and keep, keep following that.
Go ahead, keep, keep kicking that soccer ball around.
That's a that's a weird soccer ball and we'll have to look into
that in a second. Yeah, it doesn't look quite
right, but hey, it's it's unique.
It's one-of-a-kind. So I obviously I had to keep it.
I didn't ask the front desk, I didn't ask Annette, I didn't ask
anybody at the school if it belonged to anybody.
I just did the right thing and I just took it because it was so
unique. Where, where did that, where'd
that doctor's note come from though?
Was that? Yeah.
Why did you send us the doctor's note saying you were sick?
Yeah. Oh wait, did Gordon give you
guys that one? I mean, I, I, it came in from,
you know, your message this morning.
So I don't, I mean, was that not, was that not you?
Yeah, that was me. Yeah, that was me.
Uh huh. I was sick.
I was. I felt, I felt better.
I felt better. I was not out playing soccer
with Gordon this morning. That's not why I'm late at all.
Well, regardless, I'm glad that you either started to feel
better or got the motivation to come in the classroom.
So that's all good things. Thank you.
Thank you, Corbin. So before we get started on the
lesson proper, I have a Gengar male here that I would very much
like to read. It comes to us from a student
named Topa or Tapa. I'm really not quite sure how
it's pronounced. I'm.
Pretty sure it's TAPA. And and why?
Why do you? Why do you?
Why do you think that? I'm not going to dox them, but
look at their Gmail. OK, I guess, Yeah, yeah, I guess
so. I mean it, yeah, it's still
inconclusive. It's.
I think it's tapa like Tapa. The morning to you.
Right, like that. Well, maybe in in Tapa's next
gang or mail they can include a pronunciation.
Or maybe they already include a pronunciation.
I think I'm forgetting. I think they haven't.
We're just silly. Well, their ginger male says hi,
Professor Jacob Corbin and Mr. Curtis Topa here.
Just to clarify, my sister is a Pokémon performer in the master
class with four Princess keys. OK, wow, wow.
Listen, I think I think we had a little bit confusion about what
their sister did in our last ginger male.
They say in the last e-mail or ginger male I sent you guys
mentioned ice skating and Snom. So that got me thinking.
I have a thinking of having Stomp use icy winds and water to
create an ice skating track. Cool.
Yeah. I'm glad we can make that happen
for you. How we can breathe that
inspiration. Oh, I'm happy, happy, happy that
for you. They say when we got to a Lola,
we met up with a bunch of the other artists and you would not
believe who I saw Don Berlitz. Whoa.
Oh. Man, did you tell her I said hi?
I. Don't think that's the same, Don
that you, you know though, Corbin.
I don't. Honestly, I'm not at liberty to
say what her last name is. I know it, and I know where she
lives, but I'm not allowed to say what her last name is.
Well, that's a little concerning.
Don't worry. About it, but I think Don
Berlitz is a different a different Don who is the the the
heir to a a rich family. I think, I don't think I don't
think your Don is is is rich. I'm glad that you're referring
to her as my Don. We're getting somewhere.
But yeah, yeah. I I don't know that she's
wealthy. I mean, she's rich with love and
beauty, but I don't know that she's like a wealthy.
With love from Corbin, That's right.
Yeah, that shows that she doesn't want, honestly.
Listen, when I when I looked at her house, it wasn't a mansion
like the Berlitz's, so. You gotta stop.
You gotta stop going through addresses the the personal
information of our students. Corbin, you guys?
Listen, I either go through addresses, I wear them.
You gotta pick one. Wear them.
Fine, I'll go back to wearing them.
That's what I pick. Easy.
That's an easy choice. I could do a little bit of both.
No, don't look at other people's addresses.
Anyway, So Tapas Gangar Mail goes on to say I got to chat
with her backstage after my performance and even suggested
she listen to your podcast. And they crossed out podcasts
and wrote lesson series. There we go.
And then they put in a qualifier saying she might be busy,
though. No, no, Everybody's got time to
learn about Pokémon. Can we get some funding from the
esteemed Berlitz family? Thank you very much.
So Tapa says I included some artwork of Mr. Curtis to make up
for not including him last time. No, it's OK, you didn't need to
do that. Also, I heard our assessment,
our assignment, maybe to catch a bug type.
That's when I arrived at Sino. My sister helped me catch a lady
BA. I named him Lepa after my
favorite Berry. On an unrelated note, have you
have you ever thought about how how all nurse toys are very
similar to each other in every sense?
They even sound the same. So if Mr. Mime is a Pokémon, is
a Is Nurse Joy a secret Pokémon too?
Question. Mark No, no, no.
No, I think it's a cult, right? I think it's more that Pokémon
Centers are like dimensional pockets, so every Pokémon Center
is the same Pokémon Center as when you walk through the door,
you're transported into that dimensional pocket.
So it's the same Nurse Joy. It's the same one.
Yeah, I would say that sounds pretty far fetched.
Funny. No, we're not learning about
FAR. Fetched today.
I would say that's pretty out there, but I don't know.
We've seen weirder things happen.
Well, Joy. Joy is the last name, and
they're all part of one big family.
But they all look and sound exactly the same.
I mean, don't, Mr. Curtis, don't you look and sound exactly the
same with your siblings that you ate in the womb?
Yeah, exactly. Why are you saying that like you
don't remember that, Mister Curtis?
No, I I mean I. She told us that you did that.
Well, he was a baby. Of course he's not going to
remember that. I, I, I do actually consciously
remember eating my siblings in the womb, but it's kind of a
traumatic experience. So I don't, I don't, I don't
like to think about it at this point, you know?
OK, sorry, I didn't mean to bring up that soft spot, but.
I mean, you know, nobody likes eating their siblings, but it's
sometimes it's something you have to do in order.
To right, you pass that along to your spinner acts right, you
make them meet each other, right?
Well, I mean, you know, we called the, we called the
rejects and we, you know, recycled the nutrients back into
the colony. This is it has been stated that
we called the rejects. Album title.
Album title anybody? We call the rejects the.
Rejects. And we and we cycle them back
into the to the colony. But yeah, I mean, not all the
Nurse Joys look exactly the same.
I mean, they have similar motifs in their style, but they have
different, you know, different uniforms, different hairstyles
sometime. I mean, you know, they're they,
they kind of do their thing. They're all gorgeous though,
I'll say that they're beautiful each.
Pokémon Center is the same Pokémon Center.
It's in a dimensional pocket I believe.
I think it's a. Cult.
I think it's a cult. They make all of them look and
dress the same and and talk the same.
I think it's part of the, it's trying to make them all seem
like an extension of each other and less as people.
And I think there's something to be said about that.
You know, they're not people when they're Nurse Joys, when
they're on the clock. They are the entity that is the
Nurse Joy association. They are the embodiment of
healing Pokémon. They're they're they're one
unified healing entity is what it is.
It's it's for the brand. It's for the brand, hashtag for
the brand. OK, anyways, I have to finish
Tapas gang our mail. Please do they finish it by
saying thanks for helping me choose my partner for the event.
Here are some photos I got. I'm assuming they're talking
about the ladybug. OK, so we have we have several
wonderful. There's a couple of drawings
here and there's a couple of photos as well.
Can I see them, Corbin? Can you look through them and
talk about one of them? Just one.
Just.
One Yeah, OK, OK, so these photos and and and artwork
pretty gosh darn good. They're incredible.
I have to say they're incredible, just I don't verify.
And I don't say it lately, they're they're insanely good.
The first one I really like. I believe this is a photo of
Tapa and it looks like dawn, not quite the dawn that I.
Believe that's Don Berlitz. Yeah.
I believe that's the rich Dawn. Yeah, with her Pip.
She's a rich dawn. And there's a Snom there.
Snom looks a little butt on on top of his arm, I believe.
And I do love. Snom Snom is such a cutie.
Cute. A cute little ice skating.
What do you call that? A dress Skirt.
What do you call that? Yeah, skirt.
Looks like ice skating. Looks like a skirt Tutu.
And yeah, it's a selfie. It's honestly an artistic
drawing of them taking a selfie together.
And it is beautiful. It is absolutely beautiful.
All right, Mr. Curtis. Mr. Curtis, what's yours?
What's yours? What's your favorite 1 here?
I let there's two good pictures of myself.
Well, those are drawings. There's no way they could have
possibly gotten a picture of you, Mr. Curtis.
That's true. I mean, there's almost
photorealistic, but there's, there's, there's two good
picture or two good drawings, I guess of myself, me and I and I
just, they're just also, there's also cute.
I think I like the one where they're dressed up with their
nice little little sweaters and myself and me are are already
dressed up with the hat :) and the frowny face.
And then I have I as well on top of my head and I have a last
little sweater for them so that that is very cute.
And your glasses are broken, Mr. Curtis.
That's pretty. It's pretty true to reality.
Well, dude, it happens, you know, sometimes, but we just put
a little sticky web on there and we're all rich.
We don't have fixing glass glasses money.
Jeez, right. My favorite one.
I'm going to say real quick, I love the artwork of Lady Bob.
That is such a that is such a good drawing.
So cute. It looks so good easily like
easily my favorite. 22 gold stars. 2 gold stars.
Yeah, I'm just gonna say it right now before you even ask.
Three. I hear.
Do I hear 3? Three.
Mr. Curtis. 33 I coveted 3 gold stars.
Pretty darn good art. No, no, no, No 3 gold stars.
Yeah, 2. Gold stars.
All right, next I'll do 3 pictures of Mr. Curtis and four
of me and you'll get 3. I don't want to, I don't want to
collapse the the Gold Star economy, OK, I can't can't do
that. So yeah, I mean, like somebody
has to though, right? It's got to happen.
Listen, I know we beg for artwork, but out of anybody,
Tapa, we need more. This is so good.
Tapa, no, no, Tapa, thank you so much for your submission.
You won't of course, be getting a gold or I mean a extra credit
for your submissions here. And we're going to Portia's
going to make sure to include these on.
I've already emailed Portia. I've already told her you have
got to put post these. On the discord, maybe on this
one everywhere. Pumpkaboo sky account as.
Well, on Instagram, whatever. Everywhere that we can.
All right. If you of other students at home
would like to send a Gangar mail, you can send it to
wwopokemon@gmail.com and maybe, maybe we'll read it.
I don't know. You can send pictures, You can
send essays or artwork or poems. I don't know and send whatever.
Send whatever you want. But thank you again, Topa, for
this wonderful work. OK, I think it's time that we
move on to the lesson proper. Does anybody know what Pokémon
we're learning about this week? I.
Don't remember, is it decidui? Professor, it's not decidui, no
I. Don't know I'm a stand up
though. I'm getting a cramp though.
Hold on. Yeah, it's, it's Rowlett I
think, right. No, it's not Rowlett.
All right, hold on. Let me just slide my ball off
from under here. I'm getting fidgety.
Yeah, is it, It's that one. It's SOS Buck, right?
Wait, hold on. I can't think I'm starting to
recognize what that ball is that you're kicking around.
What are you talking about? What do you mean?
It might be related to what we're learning about this week.
Jesus, weird how that crazy how that always happens.
I know it's weird coincidental thing.
Hold on. So wait, so wait, so this so my
my soccer ball reminds you the Pokémon we're talking about
today. No, the soccer ball is the
Pokémon and it looks very. Mad No.
What are you? Talking about what?
Do you put that down? What do you some of the soccer
ball with sticks coming out of it?
Yeah. So that's that's a Corsola.
It's not a Corsola. It's like pink and.
Now that's a Gallerian coursola. There's a Gallerian Corsola.
Yeah, look, look at the fate here.
Hold on. Let me pick that up.
Look, look, look, Look at the eyes.
Right here. That's a frowning baby face.
Oh my gosh, look. At that baby face, it's all
frowning. You've been taking it around.
I. AM.
Come. On Corbin Cheese, first you kill
a bee drill. Now you're kicking around a
course alone. Wow man, I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to kick you around. This now I feel really bad.
This has larger implications too, Corbin.
You're probably, so we'll learn a little bit later on, but there
are what Gallerian corsolas do not like being kicked around.
And so we're going to we're going to talk about that later
on. But you, you got, you got some,
no, you got some things to look forward to now.
Can we? So normally we would just
describe the, you know, the standard version of a Pokémon.
But since we have the Gallerian Corsola here, let's go ahead and
describe that. Well, it's black and white.
It looks like a soccer ball, man.
I don't want to tell you it looks like a soccer ball.
You even said it was a weird. I mean a weird one, but a soccer
ball? Still, it has a face.
I didn't see that. But it's like mostly like white
on top with some black dots, and then the bottom side is kind of
like a darker Gray color. And it's got a little frowny
face with red eyes and. Yeah.
And I I was going to say, what are you?
So what are you so frowny about? And then I remembered Corbin was
kicking you around. I'm.
So OK, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry. We need to give this thing a
name. How about a hat trick?
I kicked right quite a bit. Instead of Patrick.
Yeah, could call hat. Trick hat trick instead of this
thing Hat for short. Right Hattie, Hattie, Hattie
Hattie Hattie, JTY Hattie. Doesn't make any sense if you
don't know, like maybe keep thinking of a name.
I'm not. I'm not sold on Hattie.
I thought about it. It's Hattie.
Great. OK, short for hat trick, I guess
it's Hattie. Hattie the Corsola who hates
Corbin because Corbin was kicking it around this whole
time. Wow.
Well, OK, that's not not I I didn't know it wasn't
purposeful. OK, I'm sorry.
Did we mention the the the ghostly spikes that are coming
from it? You mean the sticks?
No he did not mention that. But there there's like these
like semi translucent sticks that are coming out.
Yeah, yeah, kind of like they kind of look a little bit like
fog, I guess, Yeah. Like, like material, like
solidified fog? Yeah, is the best way to
describe it I guess. Now this, the Gallerian Corsola
does, you know, bear a striking resemblance.
It's pretty, it's pretty similar to regular Corsola or I guess
Jotoian Corsola. It's just that in Joto it's like
pink and it's like all kind of like one solid thing.
There isn't these ghostly spikes coming from it.
Also it's smiling. I don't know if that's a.
OK, so something so something's wrong with the ones in Gala?
Region, but the yeah, I mean the, the Galleria one is kind of
frowny. Yeah.
Not smiling. Are they all?
Like that? Or is that just because I kicked
this one? Well, OK, we'll we'll read the
Poke X entries and we'll see if we can figure out why, I guess.
I guess you can leave Hattie out as we're learning.
Because I don't, it's not mine. I don't have a pokey ball for
it. OK, All right, sit there.
Hattie. I'm so I won't kick you anymore.
I'm sorry. OK, let's read these Poke X
entries. The first one.
These are all. These first ones are going to be
all for Jotowian. Right.
Corsola. And then when we move to
Gulerian Corsola, I'll let you know.
OK, please do. All right from the Jotow region,
it says it continuously sheds and grows the tip of its head is
prized as a treasure for its beauty, the.
Tip of its head. Yeah, the tip of its.
Head like what do you mean like one of the spikes or something?
I guess like because the little spike, it's like on his forehead
maybe? Yeah, that makes sense.
I guess I mean, does it though? Maybe, I don't know, the next
entry says. In a South Sea nation, the
people live in communities that are built on groups of these
Pokémon. What South Sea nation are we
talking about? Did I not say?
I think there's a city in the Hoenn region that is built on
top of course a list, so maybe the Hoeing region really.
I didn't know that. Okay, cool.
Yeah, I think so. I mean, at least there's.
Maybe I'm wrong, but hold on. So we.
Can't be spreading fake news in our lesson series now can we
professor? Pacific log city maybe?
I thought those were logs. Well yeah, but the logs are on
top of corsolas. Occasionally these groups get so
large that people may live on top of them.
I'm sorry, Wait, I'm sorry. Well, you're, you're reading
something, Mr. Curtis, if you would like to read it out loud
for everybody to hear. Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, here.
I was just looking this up on my Rotom laptop here because I, I
thought that was crazy for to build a town on top of it, but
apparently, yeah, they they they form large groups and they get
so big that sometime people live on top of them, as is the case
with Pacific Log Town. So yeah, Pacific Log Town.
Be gosh darned that is true. Wow.
What's the source that you're looking at?
It is it is. I just I I googled it on I
don't. OK, you're it's on your Rotom
laptop. That's good enough for me, yeah.
I told my Rotom laptop I needed this information and it spit it
out so. I don't know, he's just reading
the the AI response from from the Google.
Site we can't. Trust that.
No offense, Porsche. It's not, no, it's not, it's not
AI, it's, it's Rotom. They're, they're not artificial.
They're they're ghosts, electric type Pokémon.
We don't hate AI here, Porsche's AI.
All right, so let's just all chill.
Out. That's true, actually, Porsche.
Porsche's Yeah. Geez.
Hey, whoa. Whoa, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. So everybody, everybody, chill
out, OK? Porsche's gonna turn all your
audio into fart sounds, Mr. Curtis, if you're not careful.
Every time you talk it's just gonna be fart noises or
something, OK? Wow.
She's gonna download a virus to your cell phone and it's gonna
be bad, and you're gonna get pictures of haunted corsolas
just popping up on your phone and you're gonna kill yourself.
Haunted corsolas. So regular Gallerian corsolas.
Right, so you're gonna be scared and you're gonna go to bed every
night with that image in your head, all because you were mean
to Porsche? No.
Yeah. I'm glad we got that out of the
way. I'm glad we got Mr. Curtis's
sentence out of the way. All right, so there's one last
entry here from the JoJo region. It says the points on its head
absorb nutrients from clean water.
They cannot survive in polluted water, which is a little bit of
a foreshadowing as to the Galerian.
Really. Yeah, man, this is gonna be,
this is gonna be depressing, isn't it?
No, not that depressing. The next entry comes to us from
the Hoenn region. It says Corsola's branches
glitter very beautifully in seven colors when they catch
sunlight. If any branch breaks off, this
Pokémon grows it back in just one night.
Oh. That's cool.
Yeah. So that's pretty quick, yeah.
What are the seven colors do we think?
Because I mean, it's it's hard. We don't, we don't have a joto
in Corsola here, so. Mr. Curtis, what do you think
the the colors are? Well, it's I mean, according to
this to this result I got from by Rotom bright pink.
So pink is 1 for sure what we need 6 more.
I'm going to say a nice red, but more fire colored.
So I'm going to say a nice, you know, we got a hot pink, we got
a nice fire. Red.
OK, maybe we have a green. As well.
Well, yeah, I was thinking that either either a leaf green or
more of like an emerald would be kind of good.
What about a dazzling Pearl color?
A Pearl would be good, a Pearl would be OK.
I'd really like to see some silver.
Yeah, that makes me feel something in my soul.
A soul. A soul.
Silver. Yeah.
Soul silver would be in there. So what is that?
Hot pink? We said fire red.
A leaf Green. A soul silver.
What else? It's 4I.
Mean, Mr. Curtis said. Something dazzling.
Pearl, I think. Dazzling Pearl.
Yeah, Dazzling Pearl. Right.
So that's definitely 5. And then I would say the last
two maybe. You know what?
I'm sure it it glows black and white too.
Why? Not X&Y.
What was that color? X&Y color?
You know those. Aren't colors Professor?
Are you maybe a scarlet, maybe a Violet?
I don't know. Maybe a sword, maybe a shield?
What are we doing? What are we doing?
I don't know. What is this?
What are you doing? You're all, you're all saying
these things, then kind of chuckling and giggling.
What does that mean? Why?
Why are you? I don't know.
I'm not. I'm no giggling here.
I did this that was a. Pink and and white are the main
colors. I don't know what you're talking
about. Yeah, you've heard it here
first. Pink and white are the main
colors of all time. I'm not making any jokes.
Look on any color wheel, you'll see pink and white and that's
it. Pink and white and every other
color is just some kind of like a derivative of that combination
of pink and white. Exactly.
That's how courtesy's color. All right, the next entry says
we're done with that. Like ridiculousness Cluster is
of course the congregate and warm seas, where they serve as
ideal hiding spaces for smaller Pokémon.
When the water temperature falls, this Pokémon migrates to
the southern seas. So small Pokémon hide inside I
guess communities of Corsola or clusters of Corsola.
That's crabby. Would have some fun.
Some Corsola. Yeah, Crabby in a Corsola and
then maybe like like I don't know, remerade probably or.
Like a wishy washy. A Tim Pole is that one.
That's one, right? Tim Pulse Yeah, that's, I think
that is a. Wishy wash, Yeah.
It sounds like a dude's name, actually.
I'm Tim. I'm Tim Pole.
I'm Tim. This is my pole.
How about an NK? You could have an NK in there
probably. That'd be my guess.
Yeah, it's a fishing pole Pokémon they're.
They're all fishing. They're fishing.
Tim is a fisherman and it's a fishing pole.
Good, good. Save the next entry, says
Course. They'll live in warm southern
seas. If the sea becomes polluted, the
beautiful coral stalks become discolored and crumble away in
tatters. No.
Continuing on this trend, the Center Region Pokedex entry says
many live in the clean seas of the South.
They apparently can't live in polluted waters.
Apparently, I mean we can. What do you mean?
Apparently it's pretty. Easily, I mean, other Pokedex
countries have stated that. I mean, maybe they're just
exactly maybe the the professor here, Professor Rowan were.
Like. I don't know.
I didn't, I didn't witness it myself, but other everybody else
was saying I guess apparently they can't.
OK, there is one Unova Pokedex entry.
OK, they've been, they've been put in the work a little bit
more recently, so good for them. They say they prefer unpolluted
southern seas. Their coral branches lose their
colour and deteriorate. Deteriorate in dirty water.
Yeah, that's, I mean it's just a rewording of what we've already
seen. Pretty much, yeah.
Can you guys believe this? There's nothing from the Calos
region. Calos, come on.
There's nothing new they've already repeated.
They just repeated what was already been said.
All right, guys, time for the main event.
No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, I don't want to do that.
It's it's we have a Lola Poker Centuries now and they are,
they're great. They're great.
Dang, I wanted. To let's hear about how great
and special their course holos are.
Here we go. Coral branches grow from its
head. They break off quite easily, but
they grow back in about 3 days. Now hold on, hold on.
I thought they grew back in the day.
Yeah, I thought they grew back overnight.
Maybe the lolan one. Course solas actually aren't as
good as the normal. Ones they.
Saw Damn. Maybe, hey, maybe a Lola, maybe
for this Pokémon. You guys didn't evolve them
correctly. How about, how about you guys
just suck with this one? Sorry.
Well, hold on, hold on, the next entry says, pursued by Marini
for the branches on its head, this Pokémon.
Is that a Pokémon? Who's?
Pokémon, yeah, we'll learn about that one soon, probably.
Really. Maybe.
Yeah, I just thought it was Marani, but OK, I.
Think you guys were just saying a person's name that works at
the school. I haven't.
Met now I'm pretty sure it's Marini that that that sounds
right to me. I think I think Marani is a very
cool Pokémon. Marani.
Marni. Marni.
No, wait, Marni. Not that it's I'm pretty sure
it's Marini because it sounds like Meany.
Yeah, OK. They're not.
And you can quote me on that. And you're boring, Miss Curtis,
so continue. They're not meanies, they're
they're cutie patu. You don't think they're meanies?
Listen to this. Pursued by Marini for the
branches on its head, this Pokémon will sometimes snap its
own branches off as a diversion while it's it escapes.
Dang. That's pretty.
It sounds pretty mean to me, Mr. Curtis, that Marini would do
that. No, Marini is cutie patootie.
But I mean, it can be cute, but can it can also be mean?
And it's mean to. Yeah, Alola and Corsolas, all
right. And that's like me when I don't
eat. There's two more Alola entries
here. This one, the next one's great.
It says the pink of Corsola that live in Alola is deep and
vibrant thanks to the seas filled with nutrition.
There it is. There's the bloating, so our
ocean has nutrients and no pollution.
Because we care about the environment.
Here. And that's actually very
admirable and I think you should be proud of that.
But. They're vibrant, but your
coleslaw take 3 three times longer to grow back their
branches. No thank you.
I'll take our polluted coursalas that can regenerate in less than
a day, probably because of something toxic in the water, so
I'll think I'll take that, thanks.
No, our is. It's not so since we see regular
corsolas our our water isn't that polluted.
Maybe it's not as nutrient rich as of.
Course not. Are you kidding me?
This is a Lola we're talking about.
Yeah, how could it be? Now here's listen to this, the
next entry says. In a Lola, where their natural
enemies Marini are plentiful, many Corsola have stubby
branches on their heads. Because they keep getting broken
off. Listen, it's a beautiful vibrant
pink, but them them's got some tiny stubby horns.
Or I suppose. Yeah, it sucks.
Yeah, let's see here. Moving on to the Gala region,
there's a couple of new entries here.
The first one says it will regrow any branches that break
off its head. People keep particularly
beautiful Cresola branches as charms to promote safe
childbirth. Interesting.
Yeah, I don't know how that connects.
So that's why they're highly sought after, right?
We said the front part of its face was highly sought after
because people just liked it, but now that's why.
But they think it's a good luck. Charm, the tip of its head, is
prized as a treasure, for its beauty is.
Right, so now it's all people also think it has supernatural
abilities to help during childbirth.
OK. I mean, at least in the Gala
region they do. You know the way to promote safe
childbirth is just don't have kids.
How about that? Well, that's not safe
childbirth. It's just not birth at all.
Bingo. It's a loophole.
He got me, He got me. The next entry from the Galla
region says These Pokémon live in warm seas in prehistoric
times. Many lived in the oceans around
the Galla region as well. Prehistoric times before the
Israel Revolution. Before before the incident
occurred. Well, it sounds like something
happened. I wanna know.
I wanna learn more. Sounds like something happened,
but we'll learn about that maybe when we learn about the Galerian
Corsola. For now I have a Pokedex entry
from the Lentil region about Joe Toian Corsola.
It says of course the grow so beautifully by absorbing
nutrients from clean ocean waters through the branches on
their heads. Sometimes their branches glow
and rant rainbow colours if the sunlight hits them just right.
Everything we said earlier was rainbow.
Like with like with a lip, left hook, left hook, what?
Bam. Well bang.
Well, bam. Bam, sun sun strike straight to
the face. I thought it was funny.
Get it?
Because this is like hit by the sun goes sound like the sun's
punching at me. Like you're getting assaulted.
I see now. Thank.
You. Thank you, Mr. Curtis.
It got a it got a little chortle out of me.
Yeah, and Porsche will cut out the part where I had to explain
it. So you guys just laugh at it to
to. Yeah, yeah, sounds like you're
laughing right at it. Well, now you're now you're
addressing it so. Well, OK, but Porsche will also
cut out this part, and she'll jump right to when I say that
does it for the original Pokedex entries on Jochowy and Corsla.
And now is the time for the pop quiz.
No, I have some unique entries. The first one comes to us from
Ashes Pokedex and says Corsola, the coral Pokémon, a combination
of both water and rock types. Interesting.
And a lot of Pokedex entries don't include the specific
typing. OK, all right.
It sheds and regrows the horns on its heads on its head
numerous times. Yeah, we know that.
Yeah, sometimes for safety, at least when it's in the Alola
region. That's right, and sometimes it
takes longer to grow back if you're in a Lola.
OK, so that does it for the Pokedex entry is on Jotoian
Corsola. So let's go back, let's back up
a little bit and go to the Galar Pokedex entries cuz they have
some for the Galerian Corsola, believe it or not.
Yeah. All right, so the first one says
watch your step when wandering areas.
Oceans once covered, what looks like a stone could be this
Pokémon, and it will curse you if you kick it.
Huh. What'd you say?
It will curse you if you kick it, son of.
A. Watch it.
Oh, I listen, I've I already feel like I'm cursed.
I've been 10 for a while. Something is up.
I mean. Have I been kicking Core solos
this whole time? I wasn't gonna mention it, but
it kind of it kind of like adds up Now I was gonna I was asking
why like your the back of your pants is like split open.
Yeah. It's like you ripped ripped your
pants. You.
Ripped your OK? Alright well I I didn't.
You don't need to look at that. I mean, I don't want to look at
it, but, you know, you're wearing, like, bright polka dot,
polka dot underwear. Yeah.
So it's kind of hard to avoid. OK, well let's not talk about my
underwear on the lesson. Series, yeah, but I'm just
saying I think it's related to the curses here, I think.
I think one of your curses was ripped pants.
Ripped your pants? Yeah.
OK, well, pretty embarrassing. I mean, I did and you are.
Off my bike and got caught in a branch so that would make sense.
And to be honest, I didn't want to say anything, but like,
you're having a really bad hair day today.
I mean your your hair is just all over the.
Place I did leave my my purple hat at home, I did leave at
home. So yeah, my hair is a little
very good today. If anyone wants to draw some fan
out of how Corbin looks today with his ripped pants and his
messed up hair and his scuffed knees from his bicycle fall.
And also and also. And by somebody we mean a top
off thank. You, I thought this was AI,
thought this was a you know, style choice thing but now I'm
looking at it. It does look like you have piggy
poop on your shoulder there. I'm picturing, I'm picturing
this rugged version of myself sitting there looking cool over
a sunset with a, with a, with a bike and, and you know, well,
you know what I mean. It's like I'm just dishevelled,
grungy kind of bike, but it obviously it's a child's bike.
That's right, with training wheels.
That's why I'm picturing. Don't don't try to prompt any of
the artists in the in the virtual scene.
No, let. Them let them, let them speak
through their art all. Right.
Let them do it. Let them draw your ripped pants,
your messy hair, your piggy poop on your shoulder.
All right, all right. OK, back to the Pokedex entries.
The last one from Galar for Gallerian Corsola says sudden
climate change wiped out this ancient kind of Corsola.
This Pokémon absorbs others life force through its branches.
So if you're feeling tired at all, maybe that's why you were
feeling sick today, Corbin. I mean, honestly, yeah, I was
feeling fine. And then now that you mention
it, the more I've been kicking this thing, the more I'm
starting to feel a little stuffy again.
Alright, well, OK, but. I got I'm.
I'm definitely not kicking it anymore, I'll say.
That you better not still be kicking it, yeah.
I've not kicked Hattie once since I found out that I could
be cursed, also because I don't want to.
Hurt you? Yeah.
I mean, yeah, you didn't know that it was a it was a Pokémon,
which is why you were. Right hand RCS I did not know.
Yeah, didn't, didn't pay to any attention to the playful
screams. Of there was no screams there,
it was very silent. Yeah, it was just, it was just
sad. It was just crying.
Yeah, I also had my earbuds in, so I didn't hear any screaming
if it was there. I saw people waving me a lot.
But no, that's it. That was it.
Never mind. I have a unique entry.
It comes to us from goes Rotom phone for Gallerian Corsola.
It says Corsola, Gallerian form the coral Pokémon, a ghost type.
This ancient form of Corsola disappeared as a result of
sudden climate change. If someone kicks it, mistaking
it for a stone, it will attack. OK, well, it didn't attack me.
That's good. At least there's that.
It's just cursing me. I mean that is a form of attack
I feel like. Yeah, I guess it is.
It's a yeah. It's a supernatural attack, if
you will. A karma attack.
Yeah, a karma attack. Hattie knew you were just an
innocent 10 year old who didn't know what they were doing, and
we appreciate that about Hattie for being the bigger person.
Right. It could be worse.
Curses like RIP pants, piggy poop.
It could be a lot worse or. It could be more, who knows?
Who knows what we'll see happen as this lesson goes?
On I I'm really I'm really crossing my fingers and hope
that nothing else. Happened.
Yeah, maybe. Maybe it'll trip and fall or
something. I don't know.
That could be funny. No, no, no, I'm gonna OK.
I'm gonna watch my feet now when I walk.
Okay, so that does it for all of the Pokedex entries on Corsola
and Galerian Corsola. So let's go ahead and move on to
the testing portion. No, today I want you guys to.
Poke me. A Pokémon.
Pitch. Pokémon.
That's how we're going to Pokémon.
So if you could, you know, take some time, think about it, think
about, you know, the different parts, of course, different
things, of course, and go and see if you can pitch one to me.
The rubric here for in case people have forgotten, it's been
a little while since we've done picture Pokémon.
It says 1 you must include information we learned in class,
and two, you must demonstrate an understanding of the Pokémon's
unique attributes and abilities. Three, the selling points must
be unique to the Pokémon we discussed in this lesson, AKA
Corsola. You could do Corsola or Galerian
Corsola. I don't want to limit you in any
way as a sub point 2.3 these selling points must be for the
Pokémon itself and not a product it provides or produces.
So don't sell me Corsola branches.
It's very, very tempting, I know, but don't don't sell them
to me. That's not that's not the
assignment. And then finally, the fourth
point is the student who provides the most compelling
selling points will get a bonus point.
So it's a competition. Everybody on that note, go
ahead, take some time, think about it.
Give me, you know, really, really sell me on this course a
lot and then we'll meet back. Here not anything it provides
not any services, right? I mean not like anything that it
like a product that it produces. Right.
So I can't sell you that, but I can sell you the course a lot.
Exactly. Exactly.
OK, got it. This man's got it.
He's learning. Professor, I'm ready.
I have my pitch nicely secured and written.
I have. Mr. Curtis is waving his hands,
so I think he does as well. Ready to rock'n'roll?
I've stitched mine on the inside of my jacket.
Why didn't you just write it down on your notepad?
Your laptop? Well, my notepad is full of
dictations from today's class. I ran out of paper, so I had to.
I had to come up with a different place.
You ran out of paper. Who are you?
I don't know, I just I, I thought.
It never runs out of paper, I thought.
This I have. Plenty of paper here at my desk.
You could have asked for it. Well, I I first of all, I would
not want to take your paper, and second of all, I thought the six
blank notebooks that I brought to class today would have been
enough, but apparently not. I just I just ran out of
dictation space. You writing in 72 point font.
He does that sometimes. He's he is gripping.
He's gripping. His is the crayon that he uses
to write and is like in his big hand.
That's a nice color crayon there.
I write. I write in in Curtis font is
what I. Call it.
Oh, you have your own font? That's cool.
I wish I could do that. Get a trademark TMTMTM.
TMTMT. M like hieroglyphics.
Yeah. OK, alright, alright, alright.
So Corbin, I would like for you to pitch me a corsola please.
Not like throw one at my head. Trust me, lesson learned.
OK, so I. Got 2?
Don't kick that Corsola out on. Don't kick Happy out on a a
pitch, a soccer pitch, as you may say.
I would not Hattie and I will not kick Addie, I swear.
All right, so we got two. Hey, soccer pitch pitch Pokémon.
Okay, so we got 2. Uses.
That was the joke. Thank you Corbin for
acknowledging it. I got it all right.
So we got 2 uses here for Cosola and neither of them are soccer
related. So first of all, for the regular
Corsola it could be a great addition.
Regular. Okay.
Sorry Joe, regular one mean it, sorry.
All right, it could be all right.
So the Joto one, it could be a great addition to your home
aquarium. Number one is just a cute
Pokémon to have around #2 you have a real time way to monitor
your water cleanliness by just looking at its stocks.
It's a great indicative way of being like, oh, maybe I need to
change my water filter or whatever.
And also provides a safe home for other small water types.
It might be in the aquarium imitating their natural
environment, because obviously other smaller water types like
to play around in Corsola bodies.
Now for a Gallerian 1, I got a use that you can use.
All right, so you got 2 Corsola's here.
The first one you're going to put in your aquarium.
The second one I'm going to tell you what to do with it.
Here you go. So it is a door stopper for your
enemies. Do you have a foe in mind and
want to quote bury the hatchet? Well, give them a cool quote
stone door stopper, which they will inevitably kick when
leaving or entering their home, thus cursing the enemies without
their knowledge. So that's diabolical.
That's diabolical. So they're going to have ripped
pants and piggy poop. How about that?
Dang, yes. I mean, yeah, that was pretty
solid. I like you.
You did prove the. Commanding understanding of the
Pokémon, although I'm not sure it like so a dorsed so OK Han
explain the doorstop thing to me again like because I I don't
think that so a doorstop keeps the door open right?
That's the whole point of a doorstop.
But then when you don't want the door open, you don't want to use
it, you Kick It Out of the way. Kick It Out of the way.
You Kick It Out of the way, right?
That's what most people do, right?
You kind of just nudge it with your foot out of the way, which
a nudge can count as a small kick, and Corsola's not going to
like that. So they're closing the door for
you. No.
So like you keep the stone in front of the door and when the
OK, the quote stone the Corsola in front of the door because
when it doesn't have it spikes out just looks like a Little
Rock. OK, so when you do that, you're
going to put that in front of the door to keep it open.
And then when the person's like, oh, I want to close my door,
they're going to kick the stone out of the way so that the door
closes and kicking that quote stone, they're actually kicking
a Galerian Corolla, which curses them.
OK, I see, I see. I don't know why, but, and maybe
it was because I was trying to write things down that you were
saying frantically. I in my head, I heard it as like
somebody who was like breaking into your, breaking into your
house or something. And.
It's a gift to your enemies. But it's a gift to that you give
to somebody that you don't like. Yeah, yeah.
It's a gift with the attention of being like, hey, this is a
door stopper you can use in your house.
Like, Oh my God, think you've always wanted a stone door
stopper that's white and Gray and then you can it's.
A frowny face and makes noises. And they just kind of like toss
it in the trash can immediately. No, that wouldn't happen.
OK, Hey, Corbin, That was that was pretty good.
Pretty good. Let's hear what Mr. Curtis has
to say. Thank you.
OK, so I, as you know, am a
gosh, hold on real quick, hold on.
Oh yeah, get that syrup, SAP, whatever you call it.
Yeah, yeah. OK, there we go.
All right. I am, as you all know, a
prolific breeder. Of.
Spinnerac. Oh God, he clarified that.
Thank RCS, you said of spinner acts.
Of spinner acts and you know I have an issue with other bug
types of the past but predominantly spinner act.
I mean all spinner act now, all spinner act all day long today.
Cuz spinner act is the best Pokémon, am I right?
Am I right? Nope.
OK, anyway, so but like looking
at Corsa, I was like Corsa would be a great companion Pokémon to
a watertight Pokémon breeder. I think, I think I would be I
think it would be great companion.
So specifically as a a guardian, a shepherd of a watertight
breeder farm of sorts, right? So think about it, biggest
challenges that face, you know, the modern aquaculturist would
be you know, tackled by a dedicated and friendly
coursella, your companion in crime so to speak.
First of all, if you want your water types to breed, you need
to provide a pristine aquatic environment.
That means either a clean, a clean well, cycled tank, or
pristine outdoor pond depending on the the size and the
quantity. And Corsola with their ability
to live or their inability to live in polluted water.
And you know the the way that they indicate when water turns
bad would be an instant tell if your water breeding grounds were
not up to snuff. Then additionally, newborn water
types, you know, especially with the smaller Pokémon types,
typically need a safe place to hide as they grow into adult
size to protect themselves from the other adult size water types
in that water. And we already know that Corsola
provides safe haven in their branches for smaller wall type
Pokémon. Additionally, Corsola spines are
known to be charms for safe childbirth.
So imagine a live. Corsola full of.
Spines fully attached to their bodies still and all the good
luck they would bring to your Pokémon breeding and birthing
endeavors. Finally, they're very positive
and and beautiful, well known to be very beautiful Pokémon and
would it definitely exude the type of positive loving energy
that would be perfect for a spawning environment?
Thank you very much. So this does seem very similar
to what Corbin was saying, but so that just makes my job hard.
We love that. That's what.
That's why you did it. You know, I can't.
It's not, it's not like you guys were comparing notes and we're
saying you do this and I'll change it a little bit.
So Corbin was more about like, you know, just for an aquarium.
But cruises is specifically for breeding for for breeding fish
Pokémon. That's right, is your full time
companion and shepherd of your water type breeding farm.
I don't know how much of A shepherd it's going to be.
The things that you said are absolutely true.
They, you know, they will indicate when the water is bad.
Although I I feel there's a part of me that feels a little bit
bad using Corsola as a water quality indicator because like,
oh man, my Corsola is getting sick.
I guess I better clean the water.
Well, I mean, sometimes, sometimes things can happen and,
and you don't necessarily realize right away that, oh, I
had an ammonia spike or like, you know, my nitrites and my
nitrates are out of ratio. And like, you know, that's not,
it's not like, you know, in, in real life where I could look
into or it's not. Like in.
In, in in, you know, in in like a forest and or a or a field
type environment where you're like, man, this field's full of
you know, Taurus poo or something like that and I need
to clean it right. Sometimes water water chemistry
is not readily apparent at surface at site.
So having. Something like, no, I, I get
that, I understand, but I like, I guess we can instead of saying
like, oh man, the Corsola's getting sick.
It's like, oh man, a Corsola's. Maybe you do like you have like
a color Swatch or something and you like you say if it's this
shade of pink then the water needs more whatever to make it
better. Any.
Well, I thought about it more as your course of the companion can
let you know if something is not out of whack.
I mean, it's a give and a take. Yeah, but I don't think, like, I
don't think the Corsola is going to know exactly what's wrong
with the water, right. You don't think the Corsola,
whose body reacts to changes in water chemistry would you would
tell you. It might when water.
No, I mean it's it's a Pokémon, so I don't know.
I mean some of some are pretty sentient, some aren't.
I don't. Nothing really.
Are you really? Saying to Hattie here that
Hattie's not sentient enough to make.
A decision, you know, community, commutative, I, I don't know, I
mean, it's like we didn't learn about that.
And the Pokedex is all I'm saying.
We learned that they, you know, move towards clean water.
And I don't think necessarily. And that is how they could
indicate to you, which I'm saying it's good.
It's a good idea. I was saying I feel bad a little
bit because we can't, we kind of have to wait until the water is
not good for the course law before they tell us.
I think you're misconstruing this because it's not just I'm
not going to do anything until the water starts to until my
course of those branches start to deteriorate and fall off.
You're doing routine maintenance and taking care of the water.
But if there is an unexpected change in quality before all of
your water type die, your course law can be an early indication
that something can be wrong as like a red alert of like, uh oh,
something's happening that you weren't aware of.
It's not like a water type breeder would not be, you know,
constantly monitoring, monitoring parameters and taking
care of their water type environment.
It's just sometimes unexpected spikes happen.
And of course it would be a good indicator.
You know right off the bat a visual indicator for you.
OK, you're right. I'm sorry I said I feel bad
about doing that. Anyways, moving on the you guys,
perfect marks for both of you. It's hard to say.
You guys pretty much have the same idea for what you're going
to be, what you're pitching. So it's hard to say which one
was better. Maybe, maybe this is 1 where we
let those students decide because I I can't really I it's,
it's it's. Pull it up.
So, I mean, I, I feel like, I feel like Curious Pitch was a
little bit more rehearsed than than Corbin's.
Hey now, but Corbin also included the Gallerian type
course lot and I did. He didn't.
That's right, More isn't always better.
Well, in this case it is. You know what?
Yeah. Dang, you're right.
Corbin. Corbin, you get the the bonus
point. OK, so that's going to do it for
today's lesson on Corsola. Does anybody know what Pokémon
we're going to be? Learning about OK.
You really put your foot in your mouth there, Mr. Curtis.
OK, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.
I just it's fine. What's wrong?
It's you got the bonus points. OK, it's listen, you get the
bonus points all the time and now it's my it's my time to.
Shine and honestly, like, come on, Mr. Curtis, like Corbin
needs the bonus points. I mean, it's far.
Worse this I've been I've been getting cursed left and right
ever since I started kicking it. Oh, I did it again.
No, you kicked it again. No, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. All right.
Does everybody brace yourselves? We're all good.
Wait, why do we need to brace ourselves?
Well OK, something bad happens to me and and directly hits you
guys. Oh, OK, it could be so bad it
affects us. Could be a plane crash, you
know, like into a building, who knows.
Yeah, it could be. Or maybe a piggy will fly in
here, just poop on you and then fly out.
Yeah, we'll see. We'll see, hopefully.
Nothing. We'll see.
Hey, does anybody know what
Pokémon we're learning about next week?
It's a little one, right? I mean, how you define little,
like little in size or like little, it's smaller because I
don't know if it's, I mean, it's it's a it's got a lot of spirit.
This thing got a lot of that makes it sound like it's a ghost
type. It's not a ghost.
Type What about a? What about a cursola?
OK, so yes, that is true. Now virtual students out there
may have thought that Mister Curtis just said corsola again,
but that's not that's not true. He said cursola, which is the
evolved form of Gallerian Corsola so.
Not confusing. We're not learned.
I know it's very confusing. We're not learning about cursula
next week. It's it's not Dragopault.
I think it's a ghost type, right?
Because you said something about.
No, it's not. It's not a ghost type.
It was meant meant like spirit of character, not like you.
Said it has a good spirit of. Character.
Not like a supernatural spirit. Kind of.
Thing Wait, are we saying good spirit of character or bad
spirit? OK, I'm not, I'm not helping.
I'm just going to say it. We are learning about Remerade
next week. So that's good spirit.
And it is small. So you are you are right in
that. All right, Corbin, half a point,
no points given. This is not a great.
All right, fine. But that's going to do it for
today's lesson. If you students at home, you
know, want to reach out to us in any way, there's a lot of ways
you can do that. Or you can follow our, you know,
our stuff outside of this lesson series that you can find links
to that in our description. And there's a link to our link
tree, which leads to a bunch of links.
So things like our Pumpka Boo Sky accounts, things like our
YouTube, which we do live streams on Sundays on and our
Patreon account which we post things like, I don't know,
bloopers and outtakes of these lessons as well as Q&A's for,
you know, for students that have questions and don't want to send
Gangar mails, they can send it to our Discord if they are a
high enough Patreon donor. Oh $5.
And then we and then Corbin, I believe is contractually
obligated to answer those questions.
I am me and Curtis can pick and choose if we want to answer
questions but. You know, that's right.
Yeah. Yeah.
Whatever you want, whatever you want to ask Corbin.
Corbin will answer. I have to.
And that's that's written in his and his student.
Contract the Jotoian constitution.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, the Constitution, OK.
So it is like it is a constitution.
Constitution, that is. That's one part of the
government here. OK, No, it's just a legal
binding document. It's not a constitution.
I'm just. Joking.
OK, well anyways that's gonna do it for today's lesson, so until
next time, class is dismissed.
