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. You got it.
Joining me here in the daycare center South of Goldenrod City
is, of course, my wonderful teaching assistant Mr. Curtis.
Mr. Curtis, please. Go ahead.
Thank you. Thank you.
I'm glad. Thank you for inviting me here.
I'm glad to be here. It's actually obligated.
Yeah. Why I'm obligated and I did, you
know, I did prep the room and everything.
So, you know, yeah, I. Am.
You were here first, weren't you?
Like? Yeah, yeah, I I stay on the
shack on the premises, I guess, remember.
And you open the door for us and let us in.
Normally it's it's Eleanor will open the door for us.
Yeah, what happened with? That.
No, no, unfortunately the the Rigby's, they weren't available
today and you know I'm just watching over the house.
They lived here and well they you know they had some other
things they had to take care of. But don't don't worry I've I've
got it taken care of. We've got the house, everything
is set, so we're we're good to go.
OK. Also joining me here today is of
course our young trainer and training, Corbin.
Corbin, please say hello. What's up?
What it is, What it do?
What's going on? Everybody?
Glad to be back. Been enjoying my time at the
daycare. Eleanor and Harold did allow me
to spend the night last night. I did have a fun time with that.
Whoa, wait, wait, wait. So they were here last night.
Yeah, I I mean, I I saw them last night.
But did you see them this morning?
I. No, I mean I saw like there was.
I mean it it was weird that there weren't wasn't breakfast
like laid out like there, you know, has has been before.
I mean, I've stayed the night here the last few weeks.
I've stayed here a couple nights.
They're very hospitable. And she usually, they're very
good about making breakfast, you know, a whole spread, if you
will. But like, yeah, when I woke up
this morning, there wasn't anything there.
Actually, it was kind of strange.
Like the cupboards and stuff were kind of open.
Like there was like like it was almost like something.
Like they disappear. Like they left in a hurry or
something. I fixed you breakfast, okay.
I mean, come on now. Like this is like Mikasa sukas.
Well, I mean, it was hardly a breakfast.
It was oatmeal. And what was that?
And cookies. That's your favorite breakfast.
What you talking about? Had web on them, Mr. Curtis?
I mean, how did you? And in them thank you and.
They were also in them. So.
Gross. That's true.
Man, oh, you're such a Rascal,
Mr. Curtis. But that's how you get the best
flavor. No, it's not.
It's really not. He said it was so much
confidence, though. Oh, it tastes so good, though.
Feels. Like it?
Does Well, he's wrong. All right.
Well, yeah, we have a lot to talk about today, and I would
like to start off this lesson with a single one. 1.
One and only Gengar male. Just one.
Today. OK.
Just one, OK. Just one.
We'll see. Maybe there's two.
I don't know. All right, This comes to us from
Joseph. Hi, Joseph.
Joseph says hello there. Professor Jacob, hi.
This is Chris and Corbin. Hi, you.
Said advice. You're waiting for a response
Corbin. No, I'm just.
I'm just happy. Anyways, they say my name is
Joseph and I am sending in from the wonderful region of Paldea.
First off, I would like to share my favorite bug type.
None of them got them. I imagine Joseph did a did a mic
drop right there too. Got them?
Boom.
Got them? That hurts.
Well then they then they go on
to say. But if I were forced to choose
one, it would be my Gar Chomp Sir Chomps as he has the Terra
type bug. Now, we don't know a lot about
Terra types because, you know, we haven't gotten to whose
terror region. Well, it's a special kind of
it's hardly an evolution, it's just it's a special.
Let's call it what it is, a gimmick.
Over there in the Pale Deer region where Pokémon get a
different typing. I guess Sir Chomps has and.
A big and a big crystal head. See, I don't know if that
counts. I honestly don't know if that
counts as a bug type, but I guess we'll find out in the in
the section where I asked Mr. Curtis if you get a Gold Star or
not. Yeah, it's true.
OK, the next thing they say. Second, I would like to suggest
a Pokémon for Corbin to take care of.
Remember Fumbler? I do remember Fumbler the
syndaquel, right? Yeah, it's the Syndaquel.
Not only is it one of the greatest Pokémon, it also works
to kill bug types that are in his little area.
That's right, kill them all. Well, that's a good suggestion,
certainly. Corbin, you better be careful.
I can't get to Joseph right now, but I can't get to you.
It's not my fault I didn't write.
This I mean, you're just. I'm just saying you better be
careful what you're. Saying and you are staying
there. Like nodding your head.
Agreeing with it all though, Corbin.
Right. But just, 'cause I'm agree, I
just 'cause I'm an accessory doesn't mean I'm guilty.
I mean, accessories don't get arrested.
I mean, come on. Access Guilty by negligence When
IS? An accessory.
Ever been guilty of anything? I don't know those Those
earrings you're wearing are pretty guilty of being an
eyesore. Got him.
You don't like my little fake earrings that I wore today?
Got him. That's.
A good one. For President Mr. Curtis.
I think I thought my earrings that I wore today look cute, but
OK. Well, depending on getting him
actually pierced. But now I feel like I I
shouldn't. No, no, they they do actually.
I'm just jealous. They do look very good.
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
Yeah, it does it. It it does look like you do have
them like tied into your hair though.
OK, well the hair's getting a little like.
Pierced through your hair's getting.
A little long, so sorry. Yeah, the the hair coming out of
your ears. You have very hairy ears.
Are we talking about my hair today?
You know what? Let's forget about Pokémon.
Let's talk about my hair. No, we can't.
We can't. But I have to finish this game.
Let's. Talk about my hair.
We can't. We can't we?
Can't. So you know.
Syndequal is a good starter Pokémon of course, and so it is
one of the options for Corbin to get.
You know when of course of course, once he finishes this
lesson series. So thank you for the suggestion.
They go on to say. Finally I would like to say a
trait slash personality about all of you.
We will decide if Joseph succeeded in that.
They say, Professor, you are very intelligent and skilled and
catching nearly every Pokémon in all the previous lessons.
Is that true? Have you caught?
Have you caught every Pokémon in every previous lesson?
Well, I mean I I helped bring some in from my, you know,
uncle's breeding farm up region. I mean, like it's not all the
professor. And you cannot deny that I I put
them back in the Pokeball right after I that's.
True every time. He's never missed a Pokeball
toss yet that. Counts.
Thank you. Thank you.
Joseph goes on to say you also have a great patience if you've
had Mr. Curtis in your class for seven run throughs of the
Pokedex over many, I'm assuming difficult years.
Oh, no kidding. I mean a.
Pleasure. A pleasure.
Full years. Pleasure.
Full years, huh? No comment, Mr. Curtis.
You need to stop breeding abominations.
They are a problem. Well, I would never breathe an
abomination, so is. That a trait?
Or is that just a command and? I feel like you.
Yeah, I only breathe the the purest and most beautiful form
of Pokémon that there is, and they are not abominations so
that there you go getting. Kind of mad about that.
That's right and. Then they say they're.
Beautiful gifts from the Night Mother.
Corbin Good luck, turning 11 at less than 500.
Hey, thank you. I I mean, I'm, I think I'm
actually, I feel like I've been getting older, but I don't know,
like, everybody keeps telling me I'm still 10 years old, so it
doesn't really make sense. I don't know.
The Earth keeps spinning around the sun, so I I I feel like it's
a it's a conspiracy theory. You're only as old as you feel,
Corbin. Joseph goes on to say Corbin
good luck turning 11 at less than 500 and on you will only
you will have only have nine fingers.
Also at less than 1000, I think he should get to see the zinc,
the gelatin again. If you're here, I think it
should be sooner, but yeah. I mean, maybe less than a.
Thousand. I mean, I could see him again.
I just can't own him as a. Yeah, well, I mean, I mean.
Providing I don't. Know we've said before, Jolteons
don't live that long. That's right, if he's still
around at that point. He's still around.
Now I don't even see. We can't say that for sure.
Well, I've listen. I hopped on a webcam call with
Perry the other day during therapy, and I did see zinc
zipping back and forth in the background at at the Saffron
City Learning Center. Why?
Is Zinc at the Saffron City Learning Center?
I don't know why he was there. Zinc should be packed up right
now. I don't.
That's I might have to take a
trip back to the Saffron studying Learning Center if
they're going to. Fold the zinc on up.
Put him in the in. The I shouldn't have said
anything. Don't put him back up at the
breeding for him, please. No, I'm going to have to put him
back up at the breeding for him. He must have.
Escaped. He's a quick little guy.
Anyways, Joseph says also keep working hard to get to get
better grades so you can get a better starter Pokémon to start
your journey. I'm trying.
That's that's good. That's good.
Wishing, honestly. Corbin.
Corbin, I'm.
I'm only asking this once. You've been doing better.
You have been. Thank you.
Your grades have been doing a lot better.
That's true. Yeah, there is.
There is hope for you yet. Yeah.
Well, thank you. That's good to hear.
I I like to. I'd like to think it's all
because of my wonderful, my incredible skill at teaching
that's been able to to to rein you in.
I think some of that has helped. But who knows?
OK, so let's go ahead and move on.
Thank you so much, Joseph. Oh, Mr. Curtis Gold Star.
Absolutely not. Whoa.
Throw this lesson, throw this, throw this e-mail away.
I kind of this game Garmaro. Yeah, I mean, he did slam on Mr.
Curtis pretty hard. Calling my babies breeding
abominations, Absolutely not. No, no, no, no and and not
liking bug types and trying to say the ground dragon type, Gar
Chomp is even close to the beauty.
It's way of a bug type. Garchomp's cool.
It's a pseudo legendary idiot. It's cool.
I'm sorry, Professor. Actually -1 Gold Star.
Wow, you're in the negative up top like me.
All right. Jess, if you heard.
No, I'm, I'm on the net zero now.
You you owe us a Gold Star, so we will be waiting for that Gold
Star to come in the Gengar male. That's right.
Thank you. Very much.
OK, That's going to do it for Gengar males for today.
Does anybody know what Pokémon we're talking about this week?
It's a baby. Is it?
Is it your wife, Professor? It's not just a Jew, I know, and
it can be a little bit tough to figure out who we're.
Learning about Is it a? Is it?
A. Is it iggly buff?
Yeah, it is iggly bua. Oh, wow.
OK. It's Igly Buff.
We're learning about Igly. Buff.
That's what they pronounce in kalos though, right?
Iggly Bua. No, they no, they don't
actually. They say equally.
But I thought I heard that from somebody.
Gordon lying. Again Gordon.
Yeah, let's talk about Gordon for.
No, we don't have time, Professor.
We really, Professor, we really don't.
Talk. I talked to Gordon this last.
Week. Oh yeah.
Yeah, tell. Me tell me, professor, what did
he say? I did, and Corbin is right.
He does just like to wear Mr. Rhyme clothes.
I told you it is definitely not a Mr. Rhyme himself.
Now it is not a Mr. Rhyme, however, it is a it's it's a
cadabra. It's not a human, it's a
cadabra. No, it's not.
That's a shame. Did you like Corbin?
Mr. Rhyme Clothes. That's a human.
No, he's not a cadaver. Listen, listen, if we go off of
what the Pokedex Pokedex entries say, you're right, it was a
human at one point, but it's not a human.
Anymore. Hold on.
That makes so much sense, no? No, no, no, no, no.
Gordon Gordon, otherwise known as Corbin's roommate.
Everybody write this down. Write it down now.
Is a cadabra that dresses like a Mr. Rhyme.
OK. All right.
No, that's. Everybody's professor.
No, I mean making fan art of that.
It will be on T-shirts by the end of the year.
You can quote me on that. His little his his.
His spoon is like, built into the you weren't there.
It carries around. You weren't even there.
No, no, that makes sense. No, I've.
I mean, I've seen Gordon before. I've not had an extended
conversation. Dyed his mustache to be the
right color. OK, so you couldn't verify his
identity sooner then if you'd seen him before.
No, I just mean now that I I always thought Gordon looked a
little bit off, OK. I mean, yeah, knows that the
skin was a little jaundice. It's a little yellow.
I thought he was just sick all the time, but now it's starting
to make sense. But.
Now that the professor says so, I'm like, Oh yeah, I do see it.
I do see it is a it. Gordon is a cadabra.
This dresses up as a Mr. Rhyme. I almost.
Thought it was weird that he had a really long yellow mustache I
was trying to make. Yeah, well, no he no, he did dye
his mustache to be the right. Color it is.
Yeah, it is brown. But I I I don't.
I still think it might be human. Professor, there's no way.
But I if I lived with a Pokémon dressed as another Pokémon, I
think I would have known. OK, I'm pretty observant.
I don't think so. I'm like when you get home.
When you get home tonight, go ahead, just take another look.
Take another look, all right. That's right.
Take another look when. I get home from class.
And you can also look at all the fan art we're going to get of a
cadaver dressed up as a Mr. Rhyme, I'm sure.
Oh, I'm sure we'll get tons. Looking forward to that.
That's a guaranteed Gold Star for anybody who turns that in.
10 gold stars, some would say. Maybe 10 gold stars.
We'll see. All right.
So yes, today we are learning about Igali Buff normally.
See, I was hoping I could get to talk to Eleanor before, you know
the lesson started so I could figure out where she kept.
Keeps the the iggly buff that. She Oh, I I have, I I have.
They're in this door over here. Are you ready for them?
I mean, I can. I can open it up real quick if
you want. OK.
Did you just crammed them in in there?
Yeah, I mean, I I they're they're pretty malleable, you
know, you just show them in here real quick.
You just squished a whole bunch of them in there.
Yeah, yeah. Here, I'll just open it up.
See Ohh those little babies. They came out oh.
God, they just they're just bouncing all over the place.
Oh. My see this is.
This is why you have to keep them contained, OK?
Just listen very We have to catch them.
They won't stop bouncing, alright, they.
Just that's true. That's.
True. Catch them, Grab guys.
I'll get. Put a web slippery.
I got a web slippery. I got one.
I got one.
This is why you keep spinner Axe
around. You could throw up a net real
quick and catch all your igly buffs.
Thank you very much. You guys are?
Flown away. You guys are out of this world.
Oh man. Oh, I'm going to name you
Cosmic. How about that?
Man Cosmic would have been an incredible name for a Clefa.
Don't you think? Hey, hush.
Hey, this is cosmic. Now listen.
I wish I listen. I could have thought of that
last week, but I thought of it now.
Oh, hi there, little cosmic. So cute.
While you're while you're like patting COSMIC on the head,
Corbin, can you go ahead and describe Iggly Buff to our
listeners? Oh, Iggly Buff.
Let me tell you about Iggly Buff.
Iggly Buff is a beautiful little orb baby.
It's pink. It's got little.
It's similar to Cleffa in that it's out of this world.
No, it's it's got little nub hands and nub feet, just like
Cleffa. And it has a little little Tri
poof on the top of its head. And it has bigger eyes, bigger
kind of reddish eyes with big old black pupils.
And then it has a little squiggly, little like it looks
like a six on its forehead. What is that, Professor?
What is this thing? It looks like somebody drew on
it with pen. Mr. Carter, did you draw draw on
all these to mark them? It's no, no, I didn't.
That seems like you did it's. A little curly cue of hair.
That's a hair. That's a hair.
That's a black hair. Yeah.
Yeah, OK. It's a single strand.
Well, the rest of its pink hair, then, that's.
You have to look really close to see the pink.
Well, yeah. OK, alright, alright, cool.
Black hair there. Alright.
Hey, Cosmic. I'm about it.
I like it. I dig it.
Cool. OK, go ahead and set Cosmic Down
very gently. OK, here you go, little baby.
And definitely. I know it's tempting, but do not
spike it like. AI will not.
I'm not abusive. I will not.
Scored a touchdown. Mr. Curtis I could count on him
to do that, so keep an eye on him.
No, no, of course not. See, look, we've got, I got them
all caught up in the net here. They're not going anywhere, OK?
OK. All right.
OK. You can set them free from the
net. You don't have to put them in a
net, dude. I mean the heck yeah.
I mean, OK, I guess I can set them down 1 by 1.
If I just cut the net, they'll just start bouncing around
everywhere. Let's put them back in the
closet and. When he's right, let's put them
back in the closet, OK? Yeah, let's put them back in the
closet. Except for.
Except for the back in the closet.
Come on. Come on.
Yeah. Keep cosmic.
Hold on back. Wait a second.
Mr. Curtis I'm looking in this closet, but I see Eleanor and
Harold's jacket. Mm hmm.
Why They wouldn't have brought their jacket.
It's very cold outside. I mean, they didn't go far, you
know, they're just bit. They just couldn't come to see
you all today. They've been gone all morning.
I I would not betray their confidence like that.
I'm. Sorry, it's a no no no.
So they. Told you in confidence.
They told you in confidence they were going somewhere and they
not to tell anybody. Else.
No, they just were kind of like it's none of your business, Mr.
Curtis, but I just didn't want to seem seem like I didn't know
what was going on. But they they said watch, watch
the house. We trust you, Mr. Curtis.
You've been such a great help here on the farm and the
professor's coming with Corbin. And don't forget to make cookies
for Corbin for breakfast this morning.
He's definitely like and you know how he likes the spinner
act silk to be in there. That's what they told me.
You can. Do you see how it was like?
He was like, looking up at the ceiling the entire time?
Yeah, something's off Coming up with that, I don't know.
I think I know what happened here.
I think it's pretty obvious. What?
I think, I think Team Rockets, after them, they went into
hiding. I did.
Wow.
OK that would explain. Because when I when I walked in
through like the the sitting room that they have like on that
then that like you know there's like a two chairs with and then
in the middle of it is like a little like a little coffee
table thing. That's where they sit and they
drink their coffee. In the morning there were two
cups of half like finished coffee, like it was like I put
my finger. It was still warm like that.
They just got up in the middle and they left the that coffee
there. It's almost like they had to to
leave really quickly before you got here.
And I mean, that's just what it seems like, of course.
That's that's one explanation. But you know what?
I'm thinking too much about this.
That's right. Let's go on the lesson.
Yeah, I think we should read some Pokedex entries for Igliba.
I think that's yeah, I think it's a good idea.
Starting off in the Jotur region, the first entry says it
has a very soft body. If it starts to roll, it will
bounce all over and be impossible to stop.
Impossible. No.
Stop. Impossible.
I mean, we did it. So we've done the, we've done
the impossible. Go ahead and put that on your
resume. Everybody we do, we do it
proficient in. Doing the impossible.
I'm putting that on my college application.
The next entry says it's extremely sorry.
It's extremely flexible and elastic body makes it bounce
continuously anytime, anywhere You name the place.
Let's go. Let's do this.
Continuously bouncing, no problem.
Just sounds like it's starting a fight with somebody.
I mean, honestly, that's dangerous.
It could. It could win a fight because
Zano's stopping it. Impossible to stop, even though
you did. It and it's made of cushion so.
I mean, so it wouldn't hurt, right?
Well, it's so soft you can't land a hit on it.
It's not going to be hurt. Yeah, it's like it's like trying
to catch a bubble. Can't do it.
That's right. You can't do it.
It's just trying to trying to
capture a snowflake. Wow, I think that should go on a
T-shirt. And simply can't.
Simply can't. It's like trying to catch a
skiddy covered in butter. Nope.
Have you tried it? You can't do it.
I did do that once at the fair last year.
I. Didn't I love the buttered
skiddy catch? Yeah, I went last year to the
one in Saffron City. I did not go to the the one and
go on and ride because, you know, I was told there wasn't
one. I'm going to go give it a try.
But they did mine with the Litton and I got burnt pretty
bad. It wasn't, it wasn't it wasn't a
good experience. So I don't.
I don't know that I'll. Do it.
Oh man. See, when I was doing it, they
were doing, they were doing the Skitty catch.
But it was amazing. They put one delicati in there.
So you had to like, you know, if you could catch the delicati,
you got like extra prize points. And I did.
I did catch it, and I spent all my points on corndogs.
There you go. Yeah.
That I wouldn't. I wouldn't.
And the more I'm saying this, the more I'm realizing, Yeah.
Uh, huh. Yeah.
It was a dream I had. It was actually a dream.
None of us actually had this. No, it's all.
Having a dream and I'm realizing it right here, right now.
Yeah, yeah. You're not that great.
There is egg on my face anyways, the next entry says instead of
walking with its short legs, it moves around by bouncing on its
soft, tender body. How tender is it?
It's so tender I hardly know her.
I. Thought.
We had to finish playing give. Give a very, very funny
professor. Give a.
Porch of some space here. It'll let me.
So of course she decides she's even going to include that in
the lesson. All right, moving on.
The next region is the hohen region.
We're going from Joe to the Hohen.
Can you believe it? It says the first entry here,
says Iggly. Buff's vocal cords are not
sufficiently developed. It would hurt its throat if it
were to sing too much. This Pokémon gargles with fresh
water from a clean stream. So maybe you should try wrapping
then. No, no, no, no, that's not
allowed. Well, yeah, it can rap.
It's against the law. No.
I mean no rapping. You know the no.
I'm just not allowed to rap you. Went to rappers, Anonymous, OK.
I'm not allowed to rap in Saffron City.
No, you're not allowed to. You're not allowed to rap
anywhere. Corbett OK, but other Pokémon
can rap though. I I guess so.
I mean, OK, but how is that going to help it with like, oh,
like a like a like a like a like a flow, like a like a rhyming
flow? I get.
I mean, like, if it Can't Sing, it can rap.
There's that. Oh, I mean that would also hurts
vocal cords. Well, I mean, I don't know.
You don't have to sing a melody when you rap, though.
Yeah, but listen, I've been talking for like.
Too much, some would say. Last Yeah.
And my throat is killing me so we can.
End the lesson now That's. Fine, Okay.
All right, well, that's gonna do it for today's lesson until
next. Time.
All right. Goodbye, Sir.
Hold on. I didn't say it.
I didn't say it yet. Hold that thought.
Let me read this next entry. It says.
Igglypuff has a soft and plushy body that feels very much like a
marshmallow. From this body wafts A gently
sweet fragrance that soothes and calms the emotions of its foes.
Pop quiz. What other Pokémon have we
learned about that soothes and calms the emotion of its foes
with fragrance? Gloom.
That's. I mean, if by soothing and
calming you mean by making it vomit all over the place, then
sure. Chika Chika Chika Chika.
Chika Chikarita. Yes, Chikarita, and I believe
meganium also has a soothing effect.
Not not Bay leaf, Bay leaf. The sweat.
No, please continue. The sweat.
The sweat of the machop soothe the smell of it.
The smell of the sweat. Yep.
No, no, no. All right.
I mean that that's that's official.
That's official. Corbin.
Corbin facts right now is that the smell of Machoke sweat
soothes him. Well, not me.
I'm just saying some people, right, it makes you pass out.
That's that's relaxing. They stink.
I guess so. OK.
The next entry says, Oh, by the way, full, full marks.
Mr. Curtis with chicorita. Very good, very good job.
Corbin to. Tikka tikka, read it.
The next entry says it's soft and pliable body is very bouncy.
When it sings continuously with all its might, its body steadily
turns a deepening pink color. Very interesting.
The next entry says this is coming to us from the center
region. Says it has a soft and bouncy
body. Once it starts bouncing it
becomes impossible to stop. But God, that's.
I mean, it's not the same as what we've read before, but it
is almost indistinguishable. But we stopped it.
We did stop it. We did the impossible.
We already stopped it. Then we made this joke.
Moving on to the Unova region once again.
They have an entry here. They they really like this baby
Pokémon who does it. It says it's body has a faintly
sweet scent and is bouncy and soft.
If it bounces even once, it cannot stop.
They cannot. They refuse it.
That one is like it can't stop itself.
Like we could. We it doesn't.
It doesn't mean that we can't stop it, right?
Like it's just saying that once it starts, it can't stop itself.
But like an outside force could stop it.
It stops when it wants to. No it no it doesn't.
No, no, no. Somebody else could stop it,
Yeah. OK, exactly not that what you
said. OK.
All right. Right.
Okay, skipping over the Kalos region because they don't care
about making their own entries. Moving on to the Alola region,
the 1st, the first entry says it likes to sing, but it is not yet
good at it. With praise and encouragement,
it will get better little by little.
Sounds like most people sounds like me.
I thrive off of the praise and encouragement of those around
me. Really.
I always assume that you thrive off of harsh critiquing and
light bullying. No, you've been wrong for 174
lessons. Really.
Then. Then I guess your improvement is
just a fluke then, huh? Yeah.
Boom, got him, the next entry says it moves by bouncing along
as it moves a lot. It sweats and it's body gives
off a sweet aroma. So.
I guess it's so similar to my chop.
Kind of, I guess. Categorically the opposite
though. OK.
So again, so suiting that you pass out.
Yeah, in in in function not form, right?
Right. It smells good, so it makes you
relaxed and not it smells so bad it makes you pass out and
therefore you are. If you're asleep, you're relaxed
though I'm just throwing that out there.
But anyways continue. Left to its own devices, it will
constantly practice singing. You should make it take a break
so it doesn't hurt its throat. Aw, OK, that does it for the
Ellola region. Moving on to the Galler region.
I think these are different. They're.
I mean, if they are different, they're only slightly different.
I'm going to read them anyways. They say Iggly buff loves to
sing. It's marshmallow like body,
gives off a faint sweet smell and the next one says taking
advantage of the softness of its body.
Iggly Buff moves as if bouncing. Its body turns a deep pink when
its temperature rises. Yeah, so like, if you see like a
pink, like, it's normally like kind of like a pale pink.
But if it gets like. When it gets heated, it's.
Real pink? Yeah, exactly.
OK, that does it for the Gala region, and there's nothing new
from the Palde region and there's nothing from the Lentil
region. This time I I have a unique
entry that comes to us from Ash's Pokedex.
It says Iggly buff the balloon Pokémon.
Igly Buff's resilient body allows it to bounce endlessly
once it's been put in motion. Forever.
I bet we could like, I bet we could harness that somehow,
right? That's like a fuel that.
Yeah, that's like a perpetual motion.
I was about to say perpetual motion Professor.
Like, there you go. You read my mind.
If you like, put it in like, I don't know, like some kind of
chamber where like bouncing up and down causes it to move.
Some kind of like, I don't know, like piston or something.
I mean, we're we're talking unlimited energy.
I think you're on to something. Like we just get enough of them
and put them all in a room. All right.
The next unique entry comes to us from Professor Neroli.
Sorry. You guys are looking at me like
you don't know what I said. Professor Stromboli.
Professor. Stromoli.
That's his. It's soft and elastic body makes
it bounce even in its sleep. On very rare occasions it
apparently practices its singing in its dreams.
Me, me, me, me, me. Which is pretty.
Dreams. Dreams.
So it's like you'll see it's like little leg twitching or
something and then it'll be like.
See. A little bit of flex in the
vocal cords, yeah. And then poof.
Like Badoof bading. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
It'll like twitches. Be and be like Badoof, bading
like underneath its breath and you're like, what a beautiful.
Exactly. That's what.
That's the vocal warmups it does.
Yeah, Badoof padding. Okay, that's gonna do it on the
Pokedex entries for Iggly buff, not as many as Clefa for.
Something not as cool as Clefa. I mean.
I didn't mean that. I didn't mean that I was.
Kidding. That was none of us.
Are that was a joke. Cosmic.
I'm sorry. Okay, now that all of the unique
Pokedex entries are out of the way, I do have an essay here to
read. Remember how I said maybe I'm
only reading one e-mail this time?
Well, this is the I tricked you. Guess again.
Pull a little fast one on you. This one comes to us from
Professor Widom. I think we've gotten, I believe
we've gotten a Gengar mail before from Professor Widom.
The professor thinks you're very memorable, Professor Widom.
Don't do me like that, Corbin. I'll do you like that,
Professor. Professor Widom says Please pick
me, professor, to read my essay on the ugliest Pokémon of all
time. Here it is.
Don't listen confident. I can't and I can't believe this
is an essay on Iggly Buff. It says Iggly Buff is the 174th
Pokémon in the Pokedex. It is one foot tall and 2.2 lbs.
It can be male or female and it's categorized as Balloon the
balloon balloon. As balloon as.
Balloon or the Balloon Pokémon it has?
Your liabilities. Cute charm and competitive.
It is typed as normal and fairy. My question is how is this
abomination typed as normal? It is uglier than anything ever
made. Oh, weak to poison and steel,
but they can't attack it because they feel so sorry for it.
It is said to have a sweet smell, but no one was able to
get close enough to prove it. Due to its ugliness.
It likes to sing, but it sucks currently.
I guess that happened from ugliness.
Thank you for reading this, Professor Widom.
That's a very negative, professor.
That was the most aggressive essay I think we've read.
I feel sorry for his students. I do.
Yeah, that is that is you know I feel like it's it's hard to to
give, you know extra credit for this one because it feels like
it slipped from being an essay to being like you know personal
personal thoughts and feelings on iggly buff which personally.
The roast of Iggly Buff. Firstly, I think Iggly Buff is
pretty cute and I I don't think I'm alone insane.
I agree. Iggly buff.
I mean, it's not as cute as spinner.
Well, you're an idiot, I mean. So you're an idiot.
What is All right, so I'm still going to award extra credit.
I love it when students take the initiative to send in an essay.
Mr. Curtis Gold Star. This time.
No. What?
What do you mean no, you don't get seen this?
No. It is mean, I know.
He's right and it is mean. It is mean, but it didn't
specifically attack bug types and Oh my God, my sweet baby
Spinarakis. OK, I'll tell you what.
I will give Professor with him a silver star.
OK, it was it was good. Didn't say anything nice
particularly about the Pokémon in question or bug types, so I
can't justify full Gold Star, but I will give you a silver
star. All right.
Well, thank you so much, Professor Witham, for that essay
and you know, thank you for taking the time to send it in.
All right. Let's I think it's time we move
on to the testing portion. At my root on laptop, put the
pokedex away, no. No, no.
No, we're going to get out that root on laptop, I feel.
Like we should get a compilation of all these little songs that
makes the greatest things. Oh, the the ugly buff.
Ugly Buff is singing along. Did you see that?
Yeah. Sing log with me.
Gonna get out that ripped on that top.
Gonna put that book. Don't.
Yourself. Hey, don't yourself, it said.
Remember, the Pokedex said to stop it.
It's hurting. Itself.
Wow. It's really exciting.
That's true. That's true.
Pink Right now it's starting to almost be red.
Alright, let's start saying okay, today we are doing it's
your Pokémon. Oh yeah, so I would very much
like to buy a Pokémon. You guys have an Iggly buff and
I I want you guys to sell it to me.
Now there are I do have some rules, I have a rubric of sorts.
First, two are the same. As always you must include
information we learn in class, and two you must demonstrate an
understanding of the Pokemons unique attributes and abilities.
The Third Point is selling points must be unique to the
Pokémon we discussed in this lesson IE Iggly Buff.
These selling points must be for the Pokémon itself and not a
product it provides or produces. So as tempting as it is, do not
send me unlimited power that that will that will make you.
Lose, I was going to say. You pretty much pitched that
already. I know.
So I'm getting right out in front of it.
And then the final point is it's kind of like a bonus point.
The student who provides the most compelling selling points
will get a bonus point, which I kind of regret putting in
because it puts a lot of pressure on me to to choose who
it. Sure does but.
Here we are. Here we are, better than ever.
All right. So go ahead, take some time,
make a good pitch and proposal and we'll see what you got.
Okay. Are we all ready?
Is everybody? Ready.
I'm ready. I'm ready.
Okay.
Let's start with Corbin. Okay, I'm down.
Let's do it. All right, so I'm.
A fancy man. I'm a fancy man with a lot of
money and I would like to buy. Oh, Mr. Fancy Man.
No, you're not the. Fancy Man is back once again.
Mr. Fancy Man, it's so good to see you.
It's hard to hear you with all this money jingling in my
pockets. Oh.
Listen to me. I made so much money with my
hats that I've sold. Oh, really?
We're on the same same level of wealth than young boys I.
Made 20 bucks last week selling hats.
Oh yeah. Wow, 20 Wow.
My goodness. OK, you are far richer than I
am. I think I have 15 bucks only.
Oh. Listen, yeah, I only have $10.
Hey, Mr. Curse, we're in different tax.
We. Can hang out, It's OK.
Hey Mr. Curse, this is this is my fun character that I'm doing
All right. So let me let's let me have fun
and. Then.
It's kind of like a solo act that I'm doing right now.
Yeah, you're really stealing this Thunder.
OK, I I I only have 5-5 dollars. OK, hilarious.
OK, all right, Corbin, pitch me a Pokémon.
I got two really, really great uses for an Iggly Boof,
Honestly. No, no butter.
Things you could use it for. So number one, this one is going
to be a little bit more obvious. A pillow for when you're feeling
angry. Now this one might even be a
little bit more beneficial if you happen to be, I don't know,
running a penitentiary because it's known.
Listen, the sweet smell of an Igglypuff is known to comets,
foes and enemies down. What do prisoners need?
A good night's sleep. If they're in jail, they can
rest their head on their Igglypuff and the the, the, the,
you know, the cold hard sell. It just drifts away because all
there is is the good sweet smelling scent of an Iggly buff
and also the soft plushy Ness of the body.
Now I know that you're not a prisoner, but it's something to
think about if you ever do go to prison professor, 'cause I know
that you have a little bit of a tainted past like with Team
Rocket, I'm not 100% sure, but either way, the point is you can
use it as a pillow. I'm just saying specifically for
anybody listening out there, if you get arrested, try to find an
Igly buff and bring with you to prison.
Now the other great thing that you.
Could use And why couldn't it have just been an angry pillow?
How come it had to be wait for a locked up?
Well, it's also if you're in a bad mood, you go to bed that
night, you can whip out the ugly buff.
Instead of you know, instead of your regular pillow you use ugly
buff. It will calm you down after
after a rough day at work, you're.
Limiting yourself so hard by making it specifically a prison.
I didn't say specifically prison.
I said first it's a pillow, and then I said if you also happen
to go to prison, it's even more beneficial.
The point is. Definitely want to have it with
you if you're in a. Stressful environment, whether
it's prison, whether you had a bad day at work, those are
synonymous. You're teaching class to
whether. You're teaching class right to
people who try to steal your Thunder and, you know, mimic
your characters that you created.
Mr. Carson Look at you so you can use that to calm yourself
down at night when you sleep. The other great use for it is
listen Iggly Puff, no better Made in the world for a very.
Specific. He definitely, said Iggly Puff,
right? I said.
Igly Puff. Yeah, I say.
Igly puff there's. AB and not AB there.
That's the wrong Pokémon Corbin. Shut your mouth, all right?
So it's great for floating up to tall places to clean parts of
your house that you can't reach. Why use the ladder?
Why waste the time to get a ladder out or hurt yourself
climbing up on the countertops? I mean like tall parts of like
your kitchen or your living room, or especially if you have
like a vaulted ceiling or something.
I mean, you're a fancy man. You must have a vaulted ceiling,
right? Or a loft or something.
I have multiple vaults on my ceiling.
Yeah, vaults on your vaults. So like, if there's somewhere
high in your you know, in your in your house that you can't
reach, guess what? Give the ugly buff a little
duster and just let it dust around up top.
There you go. That way you get to clean your
house and all the spaces, get all the spinner rack webs out of
your house. Boom, boom, boom.
Okay, explain to me, Mr. Fancy Man, How?
What do you mean? Put your iggly buff, give it a
duster and put it put it up there.
What do you what do you mean by that?
Give it a duster, give it a little duster, let it hold it
and then just want like float up to the top of the room and let
it dust the corner. OK, what do you mean float up?
Where is this floating coming from?
Floating. Flying.
I did. I know a bouncy a bounce.
It could bounce a little higher. Well here's the thing, it could
bounce from different surface. Tops.
It bounces from different surface tops.
It could bounce onto the counter and then it could bounce onto
another counter that's a little bit higher and then it could
keep going until it reaches the top and then when it comes down
it can jump from the highest point all the way down and it's
all cushion. It's not going to hurt it.
It can bounce from one part to another.
It can find different ways, like you have like a litton will jump
from 1 countertop to an X to a table.
It's like that, but it can reach the highest corners and you know
get up real top. It can think it bounce pretty
high. All right, So OK, so angry
pillow. Yep is one.
And second point is. A floating maid.
Put a dot doesn't float. A bouncing maid?
A bouncing maid. And so you're suggesting I put a
duster on it and let me see if I'm using this word correctly.
Yeat it at the high places in my well, you can house with my.
Voltage. An underhanded an underhanded
toss will do. OK, an underhanded.
Yeat, an underhanded heat will do.
All right. Obviously you're losing a couple
of points. Well, that's on you.
So for for the second part of the rubric, I'm going to give
you a three instead of a four, but everything else is fours, so
good job there, Corbin. Thank you Mr. Curtis, if you
could please give me your page. All right.
Thank you. Thank you, Professor.
Let me just get a quick little. Who's the professor?
I'm Mr. Fancy Man. Doctor, Doctor, Fancy Man.
Actually I just got my. Doctor.
Mr. Fancy Man does.
Thank you. Yes, I am another fancy man, and
I'm here to tell you about this fancy friend I.
Have to do it anymore that he now he's.
Doing OK, OK, well by I'm sorry, my fancy, my fancy workout
friend that is Iggly, you know. Porsche can put in sound
effects, you don't have to do them.
No, it's better if he. Doesn't.
Yeah, I know, but it sounds better when it comes out of my
mouth. Not.
True. OK, Iggly Buff is bouncy, which
means it can be used as a bouncy ball like a basketball to help
train cardio and coordination. The impossible to stop bouncing
also means you can do sprints as you try to chase after them.
They keep you going and going and going and going and then as
you start to lose motivation, as you're working out so hard,
Iggly buffs, positive attitude and singing will help cheer you
on and then keep you going and keep you energized.
And then, as you and the igly buff get stinky and sweaty, the
iggly buff actually starts to smell good.
And it'll help you kind of mitigate your stinky and
smelliness, 'cause you know all the fancy man's can't actually
smell bad. And then, you know, as iggly
buff slowly becomes more pink as it warms up, you know when igly
buff gets to be that really dark color pink?
That's a good timing and indication to you to say, hey,
let's stop, let's take a break, take a drink from a clear
stream, you know, reset ourselves and then prep for the
next stage of our our self improvement adventure.
Thank you very much. Lame.
Pretty good. Pretty good.
I will say, though, I don't I I think you're forgetting that
that it's it's aroma. Well, yes, true, it does smell
good. It also has a very calming and
relaxing effect. Well, I mean after you're just
kind of the. Exact opposite of what you
wanted, right? You want to be able to keep
yourself going. That's true that you want to
stay motivated. That's the singing helps you
stay motivated. But then you know when you're
get hot and stinky and sweaty and you're ready to take a
break, then the the good smell and aroma will help you calm
down. That's good.
So here's the so here's the thing.
It does sing, it does smell, and it does turn pink.
These are all true things that we take shot.
And hey, and it is bouncy and impossible to stop, which means
you can do sprints chasing. Absolutely to stop.
However, we never said anything about singing keeping you
energized and we also specifically mentioned that it's
smell makes you sleepy and relaxed.
I think I gotta take a point off of you for the for the second
part again. Wacker oh.
Professor what? I'm sorry, I just.
Corbett, just straight up said those angly, but float.
It did. At least everything, I said.
We're all true. We could be all we could be here
all day debating on what floating actually is.
Bouncing is a form of floating, so it does.
It does float slash bounce from one place to another, and it can
climb up very high, squeeze in between corners.
It's very malleable. It's a very flexible little
baby. You said floating, You
absolutely said. Floating.
I put something on it and it floats up there to clean.
It was a curse of pidgeotto. Now my what?
A what? A callback.
You're welcome. What a.
Callback. Well, you said iggly puff
instead Igly said buff, Igly buff.
You said the wrong. I meant time, too.
Wow, bringing up ancient history just to get the the just to get
a point. Jeez, I don't know who to give
the bonus point to. I.
Don't know. You should let the listeners
decide. You should let the students
decide who had the best pitch. Sure.
You know what? We'll we'll do that again.
I don't want to do that for every lesson, but we we can let
the students decide. Do you think Corbin's idea for
an angry pillow and a bouncing maid, I think, is what you said?
Yep, and then Mr., Curtis says. A basketball that definitely
won't put you to sleep. That's.
I mean, gosh, bouncing maids are supposed to clean up, though.
If you have a maid bouncing around, your house is going to
make a mess. It's like it's like it's like a
Roomba, but it's, you know, it's it's like a Roomba that can.
Move in 3D. 3 dimensions. They're careful.
All right. Well, hey, everybody.
Good. Good work today.
Good. Good lesson.
Hey, good lesson. Let's let's do a little bit of a
clap all around. Good.
Good lesson. # back Good job. Good job.
Yeah. But that's going to do it for
today is anybody who we're going to be learning about next week.
Oh, it's another. Baby, right.
Is it decision? Why, professor?
It's not. It's not decision why.
Oh, we're talking about Pichu again?
Yeah, In a weird turn of events, we're actually going back and
talking, oh, I just, I just really felt like we didn't, you
know, do Pichu justice. So we're we're doing Pichu
again. As much LAX.
No, it's not much LAX. We're learning about a Pokémon
that a lot of people think belong in the Canto Pokedex, but
it actually it originated in the Joto Pokedex as its first
introduction into the greater pokey knowledge.
We're learning about Togapee next week.
OK. I thought we learned about
Togapee and Canto. I mean, this is literally what I
just said. No, no, no.
Togapee is in the Johto portion of.
An app if you say so. I do.
I'm looking looking at it right here.
There's a togapee that's no, that's a iggly buff.
That's cosmic. Remember, it's my Lesson plan,
looking at my OK, So and the iggly buff does Cosmic does
happen to be in my lab, but I'm not looking at it, right.
All right. So until then, if you have any
questions for me and the professor, you can, you know,
look in the description to find all of our contact information,
between Genger mails, between Twitter, between Discord and
Instagram. Oh my goodness, could we
possibly, are we possibly posting things on Instagram and
TikTok right now? Corbin.
Whoa. Yeah, lots to post.
Hey Corbin, tell us what's going on on the TikTok and the
Instagram. The TikTok and Instagram
Instagram is So here's the thing, we're growing a lot more
on Instagram and any fun, you know, fan art or student art you
guys send us is getting posted on all of the social media.
So Twitter and Instagram and maybe we'll start posting some
on TikTok. But TikTok is going to feature a
lot of clips from the Nuzz Lock Challenge.
What's that? The Nuzz Lock, the Pokémon
Randomizer, Nuzz lock playthrough that we're doing
with Pokémon Emerald version. Right now it's only available to
our patrons, but you guys could see funny clips of it on our
Instagram and our TikTok and you guys can check those out there
to get a little taste of it. But yeah, to watch the full
episodes, you have got to be a patron to do that.
But yeah, and also fun animations and stuff are going
to be continue to be posted on TikTok and Instagram as well.
Do you know what you don't have to be a patron to do though,
Corbin? To You know what?
You don't. Oh, oh, I know.
Submit to vote for class president.
Exactly. Class president voting is still
going on as we speak, just like everything else.
You can find a link to that in the link tree in our
description. Make sure to cast your vote.
You have one week. One week only.
One more week, once the Toga P lesson comes out, voting is
done. That's.
Yeah, one week. And then we will as soon as we
can announce to the class president is.
That's a big deal. But yeah, make sure your voice
is heard, everybody. I think that is a good place to
end this lesson. So until next time class is
dismissed.
