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 is Yeah, for sure, if we could get like a little fanfare
that plays whenever I. We should just play that instead
of the intro music. Yeah, OK, no, but when I when I
say it, when I say it, OK, OK, this wait, what?
What's the thing that I say? Hey, welcome to the world of
Pokémon this. Is no, I know, I know from the
beginning. I just want to do the end.
Thank you so much for joining me on this lecture on Pokémon
Biology. No, no, Curtis Poris is going to
play a thing. Not his face takes so red I can
see every single vein in his name.
Dropping out of his. Neck.
You don't even need Porsche. You got him.
That's right. He's your Foley artist.
You're editing the lessons from now on, Mr. Curtis.
I'm so excited. Yeah, Porsche needs a break.
Yeah, dude, Porsche is going to edit in a fart noise whenever
you talk now, Corbin, because you said we don't need her.
What? I didn't say that.
Yeah, you, I think you did. I'm sorry, I can't say that.
I can't hear you, I said. Porsche needs a break, I'm
hearing. You for all the fart noise, all
the. Fart noises?
Yeah, I can't hear you right now.
I don't think I don't think Porsche would do that in post.
Joining me here. Oh, it's not is.
Are you sure it's in post? Are you sure it's farting all
the time, Corbin? Listen no.
I think you're a stinky little fart boy.
I think you're not my real dad. I never claimed to be your real
dad. I'm not a Mr. Mime.
No, Donnie James, your dad, we know.
He's not. He is not my biological father.
My biological father is a man who left many years ago.
All right, I got 2 jokesters in the classroom today with me.
I have Mr. Curtis say hello. Hello, it's me.
He's my teaching assistant. Also joining me in the classroom
is the young trainer in training, Corbin.
Corbin, say hello. Hello it's I.
OK, all right, we got, we got work to do today, guys.
All right, we are learning about a very special Pokémon,
everyone. 'S favorite.
Everybody's favorite. Everybody's favorite Pokémon.
Before we do, I do have a Gengar male that I would like to read.
When do you not have one? I listen, we're just so popular,
Corbin, this lesson. We get thousands a day.
It's just. Insane.
Millions even. When you have millions of
listeners and everybody wants to talk to you guys, it's a it is a
lot of work. It's.
Beautiful. Work.
Maybe one day we'll experience that.
That's right, we have it now. What are you talking about?
No, I wouldn't say millions. OK, this ginger male comes to us
from JC, they say. Dear Professor Jacobs, just
Jacob. Just one Jacob, I think.
Jacob I. Mean, but we could use more
Jacobs if we want. It's okay.
That's all right. That's Archie is alive.
We could not we get enough. Dear Professor Jacobs, Minister
Curtis and Corbin. My name is JC.
I'm pretty sure it could be JC. Could also be JC.
'S mom has got it going. On JC, feel free to correct us
in your next Gengar male. My name is JC and I am a Pokémon
trainer from the Gala region studying Pokémon biology in
Paldea. I listen to your Spotify
podcast. Well, it's a lesson series.
One Lesson Series 2 Spotify. Spotify gone get it right.
So you you although you know what, to be fair, Spotify gone
does spell it like Spotify, so it's weird I guess.
JC right? It has helped a lot on my exams
and everywhere in general. Wow.
Even your personal life. You're welcome.
I suppose a relationship. With my mom has gotten better
because of this. And that's unbelievable,
honestly. Thank you so much for sharing
your knowledge on Pokémon with everyone around the world.
I'm sending you this e-mail to ask a little about the biology
of a Quagsire, as I have one on my team.
His name is Spoofal and I adore him.
Great name. Great name, great name.
I caught him as a whooper in the Gala region while I was still
living there back in 2019, and he has grown so much since I've
caught him. My main question about
Quagsires, I'm, I'm asking is how do they open their mouths so
wide? Is it a sort of defense tactic?
So OK, so let's answer those questions.
I think I, I don't think the question is how do they open
their mouths wide? It's why do they open their
mouths wide? Well, it says.
It does say how, though it does say.
I'm looking at the letter here. It does say how.
And I know, I know what it does say, but I think I'm, I'm trying
to, you know, understand what they are asking.
Well, I do have an answer for the how the how portion of that
too. OK, they are a hot air balloon.
No, Nope, they actually have they actually have so a lot of a
lot of people like you know big Serpentine snake type Pokémon.
You know they unhinge their jaw to open it so wow wide.
But that's not what Quagsire does.
Quagsire actually has two hinges in their jaw.
Oh nice. So it's a double hinge and the
second hinge is farther back. So it makes it like swing out
one and then another way. So that's.
What makes it pops out of the first hinge and snaps into the
second hinge? So it's a double hinged jaw
actually. Yeah, yeah.
They have to be careful to not, you know, pop their brain out by
accident because of how much they're opening their mouths.
Yeah, yes. OK, great.
OK. And then they say is it sort of
a defense tactic? I don't think it is.
I think it's all about eating because they kind of just open
up their mouths and just schlurp up food as they go.
They are hungry, hungry, hungry ones.
All right. The next one says, and if you've
been to Paldea, do you know how they get their regional form,
Claude sire, I mean this evolved from from the regional Whooper,
right? Get it?
It'll get from the store. How they get there now, how
they've made it. Can we?
Geez. OK, let's let's stop
antagonizing how JC has written their their Grand Garmel.
Corbin boom, roasted. OK.
So how how do we think that their regional form came about?
I mean, I think it talked about the fact for whoopers at least,
how they kind of lost the territorial war and they were
kind of kicked out of the water, which forced them to, you know,
change and become a little bit more poison oriented.
Than get all muddy. Yeah, then then water oriented.
So I assume that that you know that just, you know, continued
that that followed suit at when they evolved into a clod sire.
Perhaps, Perhaps. Any other theories?
Well, I think just all the time in the mud.
That'll do it. All the time in the mud.
All. The time in the mud, but you
know. T-shirt.
The the non Paldean the the Jotoian Quagsire I guess.
Wait, that's the Quagsire? They also spend a lot of time in
the mud. They do, That's true.
So I don't know. I don't know if it's like a mud
based thing. Well, they spend a lot of time
in the mud, but they also spend a lot of time swimming, right?
And the cloudshire doesn't do a lot of swimming, I think.
I think that's the difference. Claude, Sire.
Claude. Sire Claude.
Cloud sure is what you? Nope.
Cloud sure. Yeah, Nope.
Never gets a little cloud. Sure.
I would love to know all about Quagsires and Claude Sires.
Well, that's great. And inquisitive mind is
important in the world of biology.
It is. It seems almost like their
regional forms just appeared out of nowhere one day.
Well, I mean, I don't think that's the case.
The Paldean form of Quagsire Claude Sire bears almost no
resemblance to its counterpart aside from the cute little face
they both share. Their smiles are so silly and I
love it. Me too.
Agreed Agreed. That's all I had to say.
I hope you all have a great night slash day.
I love listening to your Spotify podcast, your Spotify Gone
podcast. Lesson series.
It is a lesson. Series you are being great on.
This work JC, I hope you're turning on your homework and
submitting your attendance because if you aren't well,
that's that's a lot of money down the drain that's.
Right. Yeah.
All right, so Mr. Kurtis, what do you think?
Think they should get a Gold Star for this work.
Yeah, I'd I'd give him a Gold Star for this.
Good. I'd have to say good work and
good, good inquisitive mind. It it the question.
The question was a little late though, 'cause we already did
have a lesson on Quagshire IT. Probably wasn't late.
Let's be. Honest.
Yeah, we're late. Yeah, I think we're late reading
it. Oh, OK, All right.
Well then that's then you have to get a Gold Star just, you
know, as an apology then. All right, everybody, so you saw
it here. You can in fact get gold stars
without mentioning spinner rack. Wow, that's first.
Well, it's something on 1st, but it is notable.
Notable it does help if you do, but it doesn't mean you won't,
you know, maybe if you don't and, you know, antagonize and
call me stinky, try somebody Yeah, I got.
Them Yeah, you really don't want to be a a bull calling the cup
cup toasted. Yeah.
No, because that's not how you get a Gold Star.
That doesn't make any sense. And I think it makes a lot of
sense. You think, you think you're
going to call be a bowl and you're going to call a cup cup
toasted. You think that Cup Cup's going
to give you a Gold Star, Corbin? Exactly.
I feel like I'm having a stroke, Professor.
Exactly. Exactly.
All right, OK, Well, let's move on then.
Thank you so much, JC, for that wonderful Gangar mail.
If you students at home have something that you would like to
send, a question, an essay, drawings, anything, you can send
it. To tell me I'm cute, go ahead.
You want to tell Corbin he's cute?
You can send it to wwopokemon@gmail.com.
We'll talk more about that at the end of the lesson, as we
always do. But today, today we are learning
about Pokémon. We're learning about a very
special Pokémon. Does anybody know who that is
everybody's favorite? Fly gone.
Is it decision? Why?
No and no. One more guest from the both of
you and then I'm going to say it.
Trap Inch. Ryan Ry, Ry Bombi.
Ryan Bombi That's, that's the guy that runs the bakery down
the street. Mr. Curtis, we're not learning
about Ryan today. But he makes such good Poppins.
I love his Poppins. Dude, those bagels, those
bagels, we talk about them. French toast bagels to die for.
French toast bagels. So good.
Thank you, Ryan. Ryan Bombi, this one is.
Sponsored by Ryan Bombi's Bagels.
Noted pastry maker in Johto or in the Golden Run City downtown.
Golden. That's right.
Great, we love them. No, we're learning about Grand
Bull today. The evolved form of snubble.
OK, that's definitely a Pokémon. Yes, yes it is.
It just doesn't. I just haven't heard of this one
very much. That's fair.
I think I mean we did talk about
it last week. So I feel like you guys should
have known that was going to be but you.
Know maybe, maybe. You'd be surprised.
So this is great. So you have not seen a Grand
Bull, Corbin? I have never seen a Grand Bowl,
no. Now Mr. Curtis has for sure.
Yes. OK.
Anyways, well, I have one here today.
We're gonna take a look at it, all right.
Whip it out. Yeah, so just, you know, don't
freak out, OK, Corbin? OK, freak out.
Great. Here's Here's a grand bowl.
Oh, OK, she's she's kind of fierce looking.
It is a female gram bowl. Thank you Corbin for noticing.
Is so and this is not Trouble, AKA Felipe, that we learned
about last week. No, that was not my Pokémon.
That was also a boy. Okay, so never mind.
Felipe did go back to their trainer, safe and sound and one
piece. Hi, you're kind of you're really
fierce looking. I was gonna say so.
Starting to growl at you, Corbin.
A little bit, yeah. I didn't.
I didn't think that Snubble was very intimidating, but Granble
definitely is little bit taller. No, I think Granble's cuter
than. Snubble.
You think so? I think Granble's coming today.
Snubble's wearing like a cute little dress.
What are you talking about, Gord?
Yeah, no dress here. Full fleshy pink body furry.
It's a little bit, a little bit more jacked, a little furry, I
guess. It looks, it looks fleshy from
here, but it's got a little tail, a little pink tail.
The whole body's pink. It looks like it's got these
like little like Gray wrist cuff things or something.
It honestly. So the scarf, the blue scarf
that Snubble had now looks like it's Gray.
And that underbite, those two things that snubble had giant
pink teeth. Now it matches the rest of its
body. Also, those four ears that
Snubble had, they're now merged into two giant little ears kind.
Of cone shaped. Ears.
Kind of cone shaped ears, yeah. Pretty good.
Looks like it's be pretty good at hearing.
And yeah, I mean, it's just really fierce, fierce looking.
It's like a bigger version of Snubble with no dress.
Yeah. And look, oh, oh, wow, it's
opening its mouth really wide. Whoa, look at that.
Oh, jumpers. Let's come.
Back. Oh Dang it, you scared Lex away.
Lex is gone. God, looks like we're out of
time now. Oh Dang.
Guys, looks like we're, it's like we're out of time now.
We're really, really going to be on the clock for this lesson.
I see what you did there. I do, professor, I do.
Thank you, I really do. Oh, oh, the gramble was just was
just yawning because it's kind of tired.
Was Lex going to come back? How we going to know what time
it is? I don't know.
Listen, the lesson will end when
the lesson ends. That's what I always say.
I like that. Yeah, cuz sometimes they're
long, sometimes they're short. Maybe this one will be short.
Who? Knows and that is what you.
That is what you always say, I mean.
Or maybe you'll end right now. Play the music.
Play it. Bye everyone.
And by the music I mean the S my B music.
Hit it, hit it. Suck my butt.
Suck, suck, suck my. Butt I love that music.
That's good. It's.
Always good. No, that's not the end of the
lesson. We still have a lot more to do.
I'm going to go ahead and put Gramble back into the pokey
ball, unless Corby, did you want to provide a name or anything?
Well, I think we're out of Patreon name, so I'm just going
to call her Gertrude. She looks like a Gertrude.
I can see that. Maybe.
Let's call her Gert for short. Gertie called Gertie for.
Sure, Gertie. Gertie, Gertie, Gertie.
Gertie, Gertie, wait, wait. What about rude?
How about how about Gert, Gertie and then Rude?
How about Gertrude? I'll go back.
To her, Yeah. Let's call her Gertrude.
Yeah, let's go back. To it for short.
OK all. Right like that I like Gertrude
all. Right back to the Pokémon.
Yeah, by. Gertrude.
Yeah. OK, I think it's time that we
dive into some of these Pokedex entries.
What do you guys think? I'm ready to die, I.
Think that's great, professor. I'm so excited.
I know. I can tell.
I can. You're like rocking back and
forth in your hair, Curtis. Jeez, calm down.
It's not. That sad?
Yes. Would you like to read some
Pokedex entries, Mr. Curtis? You sure?
Yeah, yeah, I can do that. Here.
Read the first one here. All right, so the first one from
the Johto region says it's actually timid and, and, and,
and, and easily spooked if attacked.
If it it, it fends it, it fends it, it flails about to fend off
its attacker. There we go.
Easy peasy. So that's right, he was reading
it from far away. He couldn't quite see the the
letters. Yeah.
That made a difference, yeah. Yeah, that's why I was reading
it so bad. It's actually spooked and very
timid. If it flails, it attacks to fend
off its attacker. That was that's the first part
right, Second part wrong. If attacked, it flails about to
fend off its attacker. So when when Gertrude was out
here, does that, was that the kind of vibe that you got from
her? I felt like I needed to run.
Yeah, she she really like Gramble.
Really looks like a Pokémon that can do a lot of damage, but it
kind of seems like it's a little bit inept when it comes to
battling. OK, Yeah, gotcha.
So you have the opposite. People that aren't intimidated
by me, but you know, everybody underestimates me.
And then I just usually come out on top.
We're all looking at Corbin with a with a scrutinizing look here.
None of us believe him. Please believe me, I.
Don't believe you. OK?
The next entry here says because it's fangs are too heavy, it
always keeps its head tilted down.
However, it's bite is powerful. Oh yeah, he's got that.
He's got that gramble in him. He's got the gramble in him.
T-shirt. Wait, what's the T-shirt?
It's got that gramble in me. Yeah.
And then does it also make that weird noise that you were
making? Yeah, in lower case.
A lot of R. S and.
A lot of A's just spelled out. Yeah, that is a gramble barking
I assume is what? Yes, of course.
No, that was a houndum. OK, weird, weird choice.
Yeah, a lot of people don't know when you hear when you when
there's a gramble like on the screen and like it hasn't make a
noise. Like a lot of the times they've
swapped out the gramble sound with a hound doom sound because
if you were to hear a gramble like.
It's not as a. Target.
It's just not an intimidating it's kind of like a high pitched
kind of squeal. Right, exactly.
Not like you know, you know, impressive like a like a hound
Doom. Yeah, yeah.
All right.
So the next entry says it can make most any Pokémon runaway
simply by opening its mouth wide to reveal it's big fangs.
We saw that. We saw that.
Scary. We did.
We did see that. To Lex.
God I hope Lex is OK. I know he he never leaves.
He never. Honestly, I didn't think he was
ever really paying attention to the class.
No, she's gone now. Yeah, OK.
The next entry comes to us from the Hohen region.
It says Gramble has a particularly well developed
lower jaw. The enormous fangs are heavy,
causing the Pokémon to tip its head back for balance.
Unless it is startled, it will not try to bite
indiscriminately. OK, so it bite's only when it
has. To or when it is startled.
When it is startled. Yeah, if you startle it, it
will. It will bite.
It will bite and it will tear. With its powerful, powerful
fangs. Oh yeah.
Which are?
You didn't mention this Corbin. The fangs are the same color as
the rest. Of they are, it's weird.
So like, is it covered in skin? They just don't happen to be the
same color. They're fuzzy.
They're fuzzy fangs. Fuzzy Fangs.
Fuzzy fangs that. Would've been a good alternative
name that. Would've been such a good name.
Yeah, little FF fuzz. Fuzz Fuzz, Fuzz Fuz, Fuzz Fang.
Fuzzy Fuzz Fang. OK, the next moving on to the
Sino region, there was only one entry in the Johto region.
I mean, there is another entry but it's like, it's like exactly
the same thing but like changed slightly, so I'm not gonna read
it. Yes, yes.
Yes, yes, yes. In Sino, they say it is timid,
and it is timid in spite of its looks.
If it becomes enraged, however, it will strike with its huge
fangs scramble in them. The gramble in them.
All right, so we got it Will. So if it's startled, it will
bite, and if it becomes enraged, it will bite.
What do we think? What do we think is the trigger
that makes a grand bull become enraged?
If you call it a naughty name. OK, like OK, such as?
Like poop head or something. 1 of it, or something that we
would say in one of our earlier lessons.
That we would not say now. No, no, of course.
Not right or something that we would say in one of our streams.
Stop, stop promoting our streams in the middle of the lesson.
Corbin, OH. My God, subscribe on YouTube.
Thank you. Oh my God, stop it.
OK, Mr. Gers, what do you think? I think if you maybe like called
it, I don't know, like green, like you're looking very green
today. That, that is, would be enough
to enrage it. I think, I think Gramble takes I
got I got the impression from Gramble that they take very much
pride in their. Appearance and if you wanted to
call them green instead of the pinkish purplish color that they
are, then I think they'd be pretty.
Upset with that, but green specifically or just not the
color that they are? I think any color that's not
what they truly are. OK, OK, all right, I hear.
You and that color is. Pinkish purple.
All right, all right. You passed the test, Mr. Curtis.
You heard it here, folks. OK, let's keep reading.
We can skip you, Nova and Callus.
There's nothing new there, Lola says it's well developed.
Lower draw and heavy fangs are its weapons.
As long as it's not provoked, it rarely bites.
That's right. That's right.
Yeah, I think it's the same thing as being enraged, right?
Yes. The next entry says more timid
than snubble. Wow.
That's why that's very timid. This Pokémon is doted on by
young people, amused at the contrast between its looks and
its attitude, which is what we saw in Snubble, too.
Why? Why in Snubble is such popular?
Yes. Wow.
But that is why, because like Snubble was very timid.
I think what we learned. Can you tell me Granble is even
a bigger baby? Bigger baby, bigger baby.
Gertrude, the big baby. That's right.
The next entry says while it has powerful jaws, it doesn't care
for disputes, so it rarely has a chance to display their might.
Yeah. Makes you wonder why.
Why they have them, huh? Exactly, it's just for showing
off. Maybe it's for?
Hold on, hold on. Hold on to those theories,
Corbin, Hold on to those theories.
OK, alright. There may be a time when it's
better to say that. Bark Bark quietly, but carry a
big. Fangs.
Fangs The. Carry of big fangs.
That's my favorite saying. That's my second favorite
saying. That's right.
All right, the next entry says. Although it is popular with
young people, Gramble is timid and sensitive, so it is totally
incompetent as a watchdog. What's a watchdog?
Is that? A different type of glizzy that
I've not had. I think it's a play on Watchog
Watch Hog, which is a yeah, that's a that's a Pokémon in the
Eola region. I think they're.
I think they they may just mean like a guard dog I think.
It's callous. What's a dog?
Yeah. What is a guard?
What is a dog? Speak on that, Mister Curtis.
It's, I mean, it's what the what the pokey deck said.
I mean, I don't know if the pokey deck says watchdog.
Well, that's what we were trying to figure out.
Why would why it would say Watchdog?
And then you said it's a guard dog.
You said it's a guard dog, so it's a guard.
The dog is just like the royal like dog, like what's up dog?
How you doing my dog? Like a watch.
Like a watch homie. Like a DAWG.
Yeah, DAWG. Yeah.
It's a homie that watches out for it.
No good as a no, good as a guard, homie.
It's it's a watch, homie. Sensitive.
Yeah. OK, that's too.
Sensitive. Do you kiss your watch homies on
the forehead before you go to sleep?
Is Gordon my watch homie? Then yes, I kiss myself and I
and the other 60 spinner axe I brought with me every night
before I go to bed. That's a lot of work.
Who do you kiss before bed, Jacob?
Wait, Han Han, is it still only 60?
I mean, they fluctuate higher or lower.
You know, I'm trying not to overrun the Rigsby's farm,
Rigby's. So they're they're they're
breeding farm, that which we went to in the last lesson, it's
only got so much capacity. So I can't you know, they said,
you said you got to, you can't, we got to leave room for the
customers. Can't just overrun the farm with
your spin rack. And I respect that.
So, yeah. But do you listen?
I mean, if I stash a couple extra, you know, under the bed
in the shack or in the trees in the woods behind the farm, I
mean, you know, who's going to know?
This right they will, because it's their house.
Yeah, well, it's in the, you know, it's in the woods behind
their house, right? So like, you know, as far as
they're concerned, they're like, oh, we just got some more wild
spinner rack showing up here, which is weird because they've
never been there before, but we've got so many of them now.
The the the baby Pokémon that live at the daycare center talk
about the forest behind the daycare center in hushed tones.
Yeah, it's the place where you go and don't come back.
What happened? What happened to little Timmy?
Little Timmy, the tocopy, he said he was going to come back.
Like he said, we we kicked the ball and it went to the forest.
He was going to go grab it and come back.
He hasn't come. He.
Never did. It's been a He never came back.
He walked into the forest and I heard what sounded like 1000
legs all moving, converging on to 1 location.
Haunting. No, we're not learning about
Haunter Corbin. All right, so that's going to do
it for the Alola Pokedex entries.
And then there's nothing new from Galar, Hissui, or Paldea.
There's nothing new from the Lentil region either.
Let's see here. I do have one unique Pokedex
entry. Only one.
OK, is it from my baby girl? Nope, it comes.
Well, I mean unless Ash is your baby girl.
He is not. OK, I don't want to assume this
comes to us from Ash's Pokedex. It says Gran Bull of the Fairy
Pokémon, the evolved form of Snowball.
Gran Bull has extreme biting power due to its heavily muscled
jaw and it's strong teeth and tusks.
OK, so T those are tusks. I guess those are technically
tusks. They aren't teeth.
OK, I'm sure somebody has already let us know on Spotify
gun comments that we were wrong and that is.
Fine, I mean, what? What are what are teeth if not
tusks, right? That's true.
Or what are tusks? But if not, what that is the
teeth? Exactly.
Teeth, tusks, it's all the same. All the same if you ask me.
I'm telling you, we're going to get somebody, actually.
You'll find that. You'll find that.
Teeth. It's OK, Porsche, we'll cut all
that out. Anyways, we love your feedback,
students. Yeah, feedback, constructive
feedback. Great.
Love it. Anyways, moving on, that's going
to do it for all the Pokedex entries on Gramble.
Actually not, not too terribly much there.
So I would like for us to do an assignment now.
No, Woo. Yes, we're going to do an essay
question today. Yeah.
Yes. So the question I proposed to
you is why has Gramble developed such a powerful lower jaw?
Why has Gramble developed such a powerful lower jaw?
They say that it's a very powerful bite.
They mention that does bite when it gets scared, but doesn't
really seem to be the one to go and attack.
So I'm just curious if there's maybe an alternate reason why
you think maybe it has this very powerful jaw.
OK, take your time. This is again another one of
those kind of participation grades.
So, you know, just just just really, it's really like your
creativity fly. Just make it all right.
Let it soar, let it soar. Yeah, breaking free.
Soaring. Flying.
Letting go, Yeah. Right, All right.
So I'm guessing you guys are done.
The the the furious pen writing has stopped.
It has ceased. Let's see.
Let's see what you got. Corbin, you want to kick us off
here? I do.
OK, so again, why has Granville developed such a powerful jaw?
I will tell you, I believe that Granville has developed a large
lower jaw for scooping water and digging.
It's kind of like the same motion there, but the main one
is digging. I just figured scooping water
just kind of a bonus, you know, taking a lot of water, get
hydrated. So because it's timid and it
hates fights, Granville is able to very quickly hide.
It can break the soil or most soil surfaces with its really
hard fangs or tusks. And then it uses its jaw, its
big lower jaw, as a glorified shovel to dig a hole quickly to
hide. And then, you know, because it's
a terrible watchdog, the fact that it's able to mostly conceal
itself underground can help it be a little bit better of a
watchdog. So sure, you think into not
having your gramble as a watchdog when you're out and
about. Let's say you're camping out for
the night. Just encourage your gramble to
dig a hole with its bottom jaw and then you might be sitting
pretty. Okay, it feels like you slipped
a little bit into picture Pokémon there.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm just saying that's what I
think. That's maybe a little bit, but I
was just saying I think that's the main reason it has such a
lower jaw is for digging, for digging and for being hide and
conceal itself quickly because it's so timid.
OK. All right.
OK. So digging mainly for the
purposes of hiding, Yes. OK.
I think you know what, Corbin, I think that's not only a possible
answer, but also one that draws from what we've learned from the
Pokedex entry. So I think that was very good
job. Thank you.
Full, full marks for you, Corbin.
All right, Mr. Kurtis, let's hear what you have to say.
It's always interesting and exciting.
Well, let me just say I've got to figure it out.
Water. Oh yeah, that's right.
I. Encourage him to sip like that.
Hey, he's got to do it. My throat is.
You could tell.
I don't want his throat to hurt. Yeah, I'm always thinking about
your throat, Mr. Curtis. You could you could stand to
think about his throat a little bit less.
Probably did. You die.
Did you die? No, he's just chugging Maple.
Syrup. No, he's.
Just chugging. Much better now.
OK, now. Now I feel much better.
Thank you, professor. That's what I needed.
Well, of course, Granville's thick, burly jaw is a is a
direct carryover from his time as a snub bowl, right.
So as we know, snub bowl does like, love to play and love to
lane lounge around all the time. But it only had little tiny baby
arms, if you remember. So, you know, a lot of times as
a stub bowl, it used his head to push and do many things.
So now that it's now that it's older, even though it has longer
arms, it has, you know, all of its time is manipulating things
with its head as a as a stub bowl has has resulted in having
a big. Stubble's name different every
time as a gram. Bowl and now as a as a gramble,
it can do all those great things that it really wanted to do as a
stubble when it was like, you know, trying to relax and have a
good time with this trainer right like it can crack nuts and
open packages and poke a hole in a coconut to drink good juice
juice, right milk whatever basically like everything.
Smoothie. That everything that it needs to
just be able to like chill at home, right?
You know, open packages of snacks to eat.
You know, crack open some nuts to to snack and eat and relax.
So this is still the essay? Yeah, look at the years.
Basically, basically it's it's using its jaw.
I've lost my whole train of thought.
It's using. Basically it's using.
A first time went to. Its jaw to relax and chill all
day and help it strain her out. Yeah, that's it.
OK. OK, OK.
OK. All right.
Let me see if I can. If I'm understanding what you're
saying, it's well developed jaw is to counteract with the weak
little arms that it had when it was a snuggle, correct.
OK. And now sorry.
So now you're talking the fact that it can like poke holes and
coconuts or whatever wild thing you were saying.
It's, it's now it's a benefit because it has that giant, that
big jaw. Right now gets to do all the
things that it wanted to do to relax and just chill and help
its trainer out as a stubble. And now it's returning that
affection because snubbles were snubbed, I guess basically by
the other Pokémon, right? But like its trainer loved it
and thought it was cute and gave it affection.
And so now it's developed a big, really thick jaw to be able to
help his trainer out do all these wonderful things, as well
as a as a way of saying thank you and for making up for its
inabilities when it was just a little snubble.
OK. All right.
Largely a replacement for its arms is what your answer was.
And then there's a lot of fluff on the end there.
Right. Love it.
OK, yes, I I think that's a very good theory, Mr. Curtis.
It makes sense. So now it now it has strong jaw
and strong. So good things are all going
towards gramble. All right, Excellent job to the
both of you. Full marks.
Again, this isn't really a, it's not really a it's a great thing.
It's a great thing, but just a participation.
So yeah, you could have really written down anything.
I would have given you points. That's good to know I won't put
in as much effort next time. I wouldn't test it.
I might give you 0 points,
Corbin. Okay, well I know you hate me so
that makes sense. Yeah, you're my least favorite
person in this classroom. Wow, actually, that makes sense,
yeah. I mean, it's not that
surprising. There's only other two other
people, so you got to like one or the other I.
Love myself like I'm my favorite person by far.
And I and you love me too, right Professor?
Like, and then you're like, you're like just below Mr.
Curtis, just barely below Mr. Curtis, Oh, OK.
Yes, it's not that bad. Oh, I mean, but, but you do like
me, right, Professor? So that's going to do it for
today's lesson on Gramble Does that might know who we're
learning about next week. Is it scar Marie?
Is it just situized? It's not Scar Marie or just
situized. It's not a flying type Pokémon.
OK, so it's got to be a really big fun Pokémon because we're
learning about it on Christmas. Well, you know what, I think
it's very apropos of Christmas because of the common Christmas
celebrations here in the JoJo region.
Really. So it's a Christmas themed
Pokémon? It works.
It's like a deli bird day is. It a deli bird.
We're learning about deli Bird next.
Week. It's not delivered, no.
Is it hound doom? It's.
Not It's not Hound Doom, it's not a dog, it's not one of those
dog like Pokémon or puppy Pokémon that the pokey Dicks
described. Is it that one?
Come on, come on, you know, you know the the Christmas
traditions here in the Johto region.
Oh, is it? Wait, hold on, is it Quilfish?
Yes, of course, Quilfish. Right, Gordon told me about the
tradition that's. Join us next week class because
we are having a Quilfish Christmas and say that 10 * 5
times. Dare you.
I dare you to say it because I'm going to have to say it a bunch
next week. So hold on, we I have to be here
Christmas Day. I can't be with my family.
Yep, you got to be here Christmas Day.
Well, OK, what were you going to go go home to see your family?
Well, I'd like to go home and see my family.
I need a break. I need a Christmas.
Now, I actually got a letter from Donnie J.
He said, hey, sorry, I'm going to need you to watch Corbin
during Christmas. He's we, we, we're we're doing a
big thing for his sister. And you know, they don't really
get along. So we're going to need to just
keep him over there with you, Dang it.
And don't tell him about this. Don't tell him about this
letter. Well, now you've told me.
Because he will get, because he'll get very sad.
But you know what? I don't want to hide anything
from you. Well, I appreciate that, but now
I'm sad. Great.
Ah, the true, the true spirit of the holidays.
That's right. But yes, join us next week as we
celebrate our quill fist Christmas.
Didn't quite say it right, but you know, I tried.
I tried. That's the fun of it.
That's yeah, that's why they do it.
All right. But until that, until then, if
you have any questions for me, the professor, you can send me a
Gengar mail at wwwpokemon@gmail.com.
Or you can visit one of the many links that we have in our link
tree in the description below. Tell us about one of the things
on the Link tree, Curtis. Well, of course there is a link

Yeah, yeah, I guess so, yeah. Can you tell them about the
Patreon? Mr. Curtis is.
There anything on there? Well, Patreon's pretty cool.
I mean, the most important thing is my doodles.
True. Every lesson I doodle the
Pokémon and you get to to view it only on the Patreon.
That's right, subscriber level. We also release our Nuz Lock
there two weeks earlier than the Mewtube.
We have Q&A that we do every other week where those of the
highest tier can ask us questions.
That's right, we release bloopers and outtakes the
opposite every two weeks. So that's that's fun you.
Can opposite of every two weeks. That's for you to figure out
when you join the Patreon. Do you think that's four weeks
or do you think that's once a? Week, I think it's every 10
weeks. The opposite week of the every
other week. OK.
I see. And yeah, so we've got a lot of
great stuff on there. All right, come join.
Corbin quickly, very quickly, tell us about the YouTube
channel. The YouTube channel has a ton of
stuff on there. You get to see all of our Nuz
locks. Again, you can see them earlier
on Patreon, but you get to watch all of our Nuz Lock episodes,
our randomized Nuz Lock playthrough that we're all doing
together on on YouTube. We also have funny clips that
we're posting under the shorts category from YouTube.
And also we do live stream periodically on there as well.
So you can come hang out with us, go subscribe on there.
Our next big goal is trying to hit 500 subscribers on YouTube.
That'd be kind of kind of cool. We're like a little over halfway
there. So go to the channel, subscribe,
turn on the notifications, and then when we go live one of
these days you can come hang out with us and come talk to us and
tell us how great we are. Yeah, well, don't do that last
time cuz I don't know how to take a compliment.
All right, but that's gonna do it for today's lesson.
Until next time. Wait, Professor, before we go,
we do have one scheduling note about our class lessons coming
up in the future. Yes.
Do you remember Professor? You're right, Mr. Curtis.
So yeah, I should mention that. So after our wonderful cool fish
Christmas, we will be taking a little bit of a break for the
just to, you know, recover after the after the holiday season.
