Hey guys, it's Corbin here with another cold opening.
And Speaking of cold, I have one so that's why I sound like poop.
So you'll have to excuse that. So we wanted to let you guys
know that we will be hosting our very first charity live stream
on Sunday, June 22nd at 6:00 PM Eastern Time on our YouTube
channel in support of The Trevor Project.
Again, you can find a link to our YouTube channel and other
social media in the description in our link tree.
If you're unfamiliar, The Trevor Project is a nonprofit
organization that focuses on the suicide prevention of LGBTQ plus
peoples. So it's a 'cause that means a
lot to us and we definitely want to show our support during times
like this. And to sweeten the deal a little
bit, we do have incentives for those of you guys that do decide
to donate. So for example, for $10,
Professor Jacob will read a Pokedex entry based off of you.
If you donate $15.00, I will freestyle for one minute.
And for $20, Mr. Curtis will draw a horrific doodle of your
pet. And we are setting our goal for
200. We're keeping it very modest
because we have a smaller audience.
But if we reach half of our goal, $100, we will be doing a
watch party of Pokémon, the first movie with you guys.
And if we hit our goal of $200, I will release a rap single as
Pokémon Trainer Corbin. Is that a good incentive?
I don't know, but we're going to do it anyway.
So come on out to the stream on June 22nd.
Even if you can't donate, it would be awesome to see you guys
there and interact with us and show your support and also share
the stream too. Also, as a friendly reminder, we
are uploading new lessons every other week until September 3rd.
So on September 3rd we will switch back to weekly uploads,
but for the remainder of the summer we will be uploading
every other week. So whenever we say next week in
this lesson, just know we actually mean two weeks from
now. So sorry for the confusion.
Anyways, we love you guys. Thank you for the support.
Thank you for listening to the lesson.
Hope to see you at the charity stream on June 22nd.
If you're listening to this after June 22nd, you missed a
great time. That's on you.
Have a great day guys, talk to you soon.
Bye, bye, bye. Hello there, and welcome to the
world of Pokémon. My name is Professor Jacob, and
thank you so much for once again joining me in this world of
Pokémon biology. Yeah, joining me here today in
this classroom, this different classroom, it's not our
classroom, it's a classroom. It's a classroom that we've been
renovating, working on for a little while for.
So long now. I know, I know, but it's just
been, there's been a lot of it's, it was a lot more work
than I thought it was going to be.
I thought we could get it done in a lesson, but clearly there's
things we didn't think about. But we're back here again.
But you know, it works out pretty well for what's coming up
here in this lesson. Joining me here in this
classroom today is of my, of course, my wonderful teaching
assistant, Mr. Curtis. Mr. Curtis, how are you?
How are you today? Professor, it is so good to be
here with you in this classroom and in honor of switching up our
location and our and our field trip as well yeah a mini field
trip across the hall if you will.
I've. Written.
I've written this 20 page treatise as to the beauty of the
bug types around us. Please, everybody, take a seat
back. No, we don't have time for all
that. This will be you need to read
all that and a good a good three to four hours.
Take a seat as I goes. Written here.
Yes, yes, the seat back. Take a seat back.
Everybody. I don't know.
I'm curious to see how it at least start.
On the day that Archaeus bred life into the world, he smiled
upon the land and he's and he looked upon a rock.
And he said this. Rock would be really cool if it
had a face, and that is how Kakuna was born.
Thank you very much. And then from the from the
Kakuna born, the B drill. But you know, but then you know,
as we as as and then that's when seizor became Sizor and you know
that that's you know, everyone thinks that's.
A. That's a I'm I meant to hit Fast
forward where he'd do a really funny fast voice talking thing.
Fast forward. Yeah.
Oh, OK. And you see, where are you
moving? Don't go, don't give.
OK, and pause. Hey, slap your mouth.
And regular speed. And then that's when you need to
move them to the larger enclosure so that you can
increase the area that they're living in, in.
But but wow, that. Was fun.
Also, this is not fun. Also joining me here in the
classroom today is our young trainer and training, Corbin.
Corbin, how you doing? I'm good and I'm an anarchist so
I cannot be controlled like that.
Hello everybody, good to be here.
I am excited to learn about today's Pokémon.
I know it's a fun one, it's a free one, it's a lovely one it's
another water type. Is that why we're back here
again? I swear we've been here for like
4 or five weeks. I.
Mean it is a. No, Corbin, it's deciduous.
Power off. Power off, Power off.
So OK, it is a wire type, but that's not why we're back here
today, Corbin. There's a very specific region
reason why. We'll talk about that here in a
second. Before we get into the lesson
proper, I do have a Ganga mail that I would like to read.
Shut up. Do you really?
I I know, I know. It's crazy, right?
I'm going to Power Corp, Mr. Curtis back on because it's kind
of sad seeing it. His face is kind of like just in
the water and where he's not breathing.
So power. On no I I'm not working.
And, and, and, you know, it's really important at that point
that you separate the male and the female from each other.
You gotta stop. Dude, otherwise I'm just gonna
no. More Select menu, pull the.
Plug on it, pull the plug. No.
More so we're talking just says end something to go to that.
Otherwise, it's gonna be and, and and that is why bug types
are the best. Thank you very much for joining
me on my Ted Talk. Wow, that journey that was, that
was. Very good, buddy.
Good. Job good.
All right, so I will be printing copies of that treatise and and
and I will be giving you a hand signed copy.
Thank you. Can't wait.
Thank you all for sitting in for that SO.
Yeah, we did, of course. OK, so I have a Gen.
Gar mail here that I'm going to read.
OK. It comes to us from Evelyn.
That's very short one they say. Hello, Professor Jacob.
Mr. Curtis, Anne Corbin. This is my first time sending a
Gengar mail. I'm Evelyn and I've been
listening to this lesson series for a while now.
How long is a while though? I don't know how dedicated you
actually are. Yeah, so send us another Gengar
mail. Tell us the exact definition of
a while in minutes. Actually, if you give us the
time in minutes, that would be great.
Yep. Give us a list of how many
lessons you've listened to, which one of us is your
favorite, and which one of us you would like to eat a cupcake
with. And why it's the professor cuz
he's everyone's favorite. Okay, Evelyn goes on to say.
My main favorite Pokémon are Evie, Zerora, Ditto and Leaveny
was a good which Leaveny is a book right Mr. Curtis?
Yeah, yeah, actually I do really like Leaveny.
That's a good one. Leaf type or.
A leaf type, huh, Corbin? Hey, you think you think it's a
leaf type? Corbin?
That's what you said. You said Leaf.
Yeah. Well, let me just look through
the types here. Yeah, Huh.
Get him, get him, punch him while he's down.
Yeah, he's a leaf. Let's see in Leaf, could you
first leave me grass type, Corbin?
Grass type. Yeah, God.
Who? Who's this man's teacher?
Fine. I meant I meant leaf.
I meant leaf category. Alright, grass type makes sense.
Sure, sure. Leaving, he's a a great example
of a of a a real good companion bug type.
You know you have to have a really good friendship with.
No, no. No, no, no, no, that's not my
treatise. I'm just saying that leaving
these a good book type to like because because you know,
they're very nurturing and they have there's a lot of utility
that they have with their like sticky spit stuff, silk that
they make so. Just like unlike spinner, right?
Just like spinner act silk. I was going to say they make
good, good silk. Good silk you heard here.
And they're natural born, natural born nurturers.
That's all very well and good Mr. Curtis.
I'm glad you're you're so interested in this Ganga male
because this next part is a question to you, Evelyn says.
Also Mr. Curtis, have you thought of creating a mega stone
for Spinner Act or Ariadose? But you don't have that.
Power now is a mega stone something we can create?
No, not him, I mean. The Curtis might be able to I I
can't. That's what they that's what
they said about my super sized mutant spinner axe.
But you know, see where we are today?
What? Well, those are some mega
spinner axe. They were like, no, no, no, no.
That's the incorrect terminology.
These are Mutant spinner axe. That's right, pure purebred
spinner axe is actually the the proper the proper terminology,
but or blessed is a better. Term but blessed from the
Mother. Cursed less blessed from the
night mother, but but I have, I have.
I think we've touched on this once before in the past, but but
you know basically what what the Mega Stone does is like give
whatever a Pokémon that you're using it for a temporary super
boost before it's going to return back to its its previous
form. And it's normally fairly painful
or, you know, traumatic sustainable for the the Pokémon.
So my, my, my goal first is to breed the peak perfect spinner
rack, right? And then once I've gotten the
Nat, the the, you know, the the oso natural body of the spinner
act to the the peak and and most powerful it can be, then I'm
going to add this the mega stone to it, Right.
So like the mega stone is the second priority after I have
made the cake. Yeah, Yeah.
And then then it's going to push it even that much farther
beyond. You know what I'm saying?
So OK, but. How I, and I know I've asked
this before, how could you possibly know you've reached the
perfect spinner? Act like I think, I think
you're, you're, you're really shooting yourself in the foot
here by going for perfection. That that is, that is great
question. And you know, the that's, that's
really comes down to my, my faith and my, my following of
the teaching of the night mother.
And she speaks to me and she tells me what the spinner act
needs to be and that's what the goal is.
So. OK.
And and that is. And that is what?
Like the ideal spinner. Do you want me to draw a
picture? I mean, I could show you what
the ideal spinner act looks. Like, yeah, go ahead, draw a
picture, put that on the. Maybe you should include that
along with your weekly drawing of.
Today's yeah, the picture on and we'll see that later.
Evelyn finishes the Gengar mail by saying.
Anyways, have a good day. Farewell, signed and this is
what I really want to talk about.
Signed Evil Evelyn so. How evil are we talking?
So. So why are you Evelyn?
Why are you evil? What's with the evil?
Go on here. What evil deeds have you
committed? And how come you're so eager to
out yourself as evil? Yeah, what?
What makes you an evil? Evelyn Person.
Yeah, right. Right, we'll, we are anxiously
waiting on your response here, but that's let us know do it for
for the Gangar male here. Mr. Curtis, do you think a Gold
Star is worthy? They did talk about how great
Leaf and he was so and Leaf and he is a bug type.
So Leaf any I will take it out. I will, I will, I will take it.
And by take it I mean give it and that what I giving is a Gold
Star. What he's taking.
Yeah, you can. You can take a knee and you can
leave a knee, Mr. Curtis. That's right.
Could have said it better. Thank you so Gold Star for evil
Evelyn and no extra credit, though, because there was number
no extra work in here. But you know, thank you.
Thank you so much for the Gengar mail.
Extra credit of my heart. No, you can't.
You can't give out extra credit, Mr. Curtis.
You can't do that. Yeah, you don't have that power,
dude. Come on.
Yeah, and that extra credit in my class.
If you would like to send a Gengar mail to me, the
professor, if you would like to talk to Mr. Curtis or even
Corbin perhaps. Yeah, even me, believe it or
not. You can send a Gengar mail to
wwopokemon@gmail.com and we'll talk more about that at the end
of the lesson. But we do have a lesson.
We need to get into it. And you know, we're back here in
in the Remiraid classroom, the Remiraid habitat, for a very
important reason. Now, some of you may have heard
crying echoing through the hallways, and it's not Mr.
Curtis this time. Or Corbin.
And it and it wasn't me earlier that you guys heard because I
didn't have breakfast. Yeah, it's actually one of our
remiraids here. Oh which?
One Remi, actually. Remy name for Remy Raid.
Poor Remy. What's going?
On So, Remy is feeling a little homesick, unfortunately.
A little blue. But I'm yeah, sure, yeah, it's
feeling a little he's. Got those Remy raid bluesy.
Yeah. That was beautiful.
Sorry, that was my that was my jukebox.
Right, Yeah. And now and now he's kind of
feeling alienated. So let's not, let's not talk
about it too, too much. So what we've done here, we,
we've pooled our resources together as as a school, we've
actually hired a new let's what's, what's the word
emotional support. Therapist.
Pokémon emotional support Pokémon for the remer aids.
OK, does anybody know what Pokémon it is?
We talked about this last week, what Pokémon we're going to be
learning about. Oh, it's so it's last week's
Pokémon, so it's. No, no, no.
We talked about last week about what Pokémon we'd be learning
about this week, and it is this Pokémon.
Oh, is that amazing? That makes.
Sense is it decision? Why?
No, that makes total sense. It's Della Bird, right?
Now we learned about Della Bird last week.
Right. We talked about it.
Last time I mean, I can think of few things that would get me
happy than a a a surprise present from a deadly bird.
Yeah, even though. Like, wait, hold on.
No, it's Mantine. Mantine.
Yes, we are learning. It's guys.
It's man time. It is time for man time because
it's man time. Yeah, Clocky, clocky.
Like that joke. Clocky's laughing.
Clocky, nice. You like that?
Yeah. Clocky loves any kind of time.
Thanks Clocky. All right, so I do have that
mantine here. It's it's an emotional support
mantine because, but we'll learn about why a here in a little
bit. So I'm going to go ahead and
throw out the mantine and we're going to let it acclimate
itself. This habitat.
We'll let it hang out with Remy and the other Remy raids.
So here, here it is. Wow, she's beautiful.
What's this one's name? I don't, I don't think we've
named it yet. Maybe, maybe we should put a
poll out on this lesson and have other people name it. 00 or wait
a poll. I don't know how or I don't know
Porsche is in charge of all this spot Spotify on stuff.
Whoever comments the best name, that's what we'll name it.
Let's let's get some more engagement, guys.
Whoever comments the best name on Spotify, gone.
That's what we're going to. Do or maybe or in the discord as
well if you commented in because I think we normally I'm not sure
if I think Corbin was doing this makes a thread for the new
lesson so. For each new lesson.
Yeah, yeah. So if you go to that lesson that
that that lesson thread and put down your best name for this
Mantine here, then we can well, we'll make it that well.
Maybe if I describe her a little bit it'll help you guys.
Yes, it's a great idea, Corbin. That's a great idea.
OK, all right, here we go. I'm gonna try to break this
down. Never seen anything quite like
it. So it's got an Oval shaped body,
right? The top of it is blue, but the
underside is kind of like a cream whitish color.
It's got 2 gills kind of on the bottom part in the middle
section and 2 little and like I basically, yeah, it's like 2
fins, right? Obviously big circle, 2 fins.
That's the general structure. It's got a little wispy little
grey tail. It's got 2 blue antennas at the
top. It has these little black and
white little beady eyes. And then it has these this cute
little smile on it and these two little it looks like baby fangs
and. Fangs.
You don't think that that's like creases around its mouth, kind
of like it's chewing? Something it could be fangs, it
could be a mustache. It's kind of hard to tell from
this angle, but it's very, very it's a very cute Pokémon.
It looks like it's a. Is that Remy right there that's
coming up to? It.
Oh, yes. Yeah.
Oh. Yeah, Remy always take it to Oh
my God, It's like a oh, it's like a mother and her baby.
Yeah, of course he could describe what Remy is doing,
actually. Remy is nestling himself
underneath insert name that we pick.
Mantine, say Mantine. Mantine's a little fin there.
It's so cute, like nestling underneath.
Oh, oh, now it's like circling it.
Are we sure that Remy is not the emotional support Remy raid to
this Mantine? It's a it's a symbiotic
relationship. Right, they complete each other
this. Is they're here to mutual
mutually support each other? Yeah, that's what love is.
That's what true love is. I I hope to have some thoughts
someday. You need to let Don go.
Honestly, you need to move on. Move on.
Move on to the away from. Dawn.
No, I'm not moving on. I'm not moving on from Dawn.
OK, All right, I'm going to start writing some Blues songs
about her. I guess, I guess there's reads.
I'm reading the rule book now. There's nothing in the rules
that just can't do that. So I.
Guess if I can rap then I'll sing the Blues.
Sing the Blues. At least at least until until he
gets another What? What was the what was the thing
that you got sent to jail for for rapping?
It was. Don't worry about it.
I'm on permission. You don't need to worry about.
It you wait, you're on wait, are you still on permission?
Maybe in my life without her, it feels like a knife.
Wow, beautiful. OK, we're not learning about
Dawn this week. We are learning about Mantine.
We're going to let our Mantine friend here kind of like
continue to acclimate into this new environment, but I think we
should learn a little bit about Mantine so we can maybe, maybe,
maybe this environment a little bit more friendly to them if we
can. Yes, fine idea.
All right, so the first entry here comes to us from the Jyoto
region that says as it majestically swims, it doesn't
care if remirate attached to it for scavenging its leftovers.
See. See, like, even in the very
first Pokedex entry, we can see that, you know, this thing,
this, this Pokémon lives with remerades.
We can't. We're so foolish.
How could we possibly think that we could make a remerade habitat
without also having Mantine? Yeah, of course, 1 completes the
other. It's like a yin and Yang.
Yeah, the next entry says. Swimming freely in open seas, it
may fly out of the water and over the waves if it builds up
enough speed. Oh, OK.
Is that really a? Family or is it more of a glide?
I mean, I, I think it can fly a little bit.
I think it counts as flying. Maybe.
Yeah, maybe you're right. Next entry says it swims along
freely, eating things that swim into its mouth.
Its whole body is very coarse. OK, OK.
Like like a like like rough hair or like is it like a hard
surface? Like how coarse we talking?
Like like like sandpaper Corbin. Oh OK, nice.
And that feels good for Remedy to rub up against.
I guess, I guess like and it does say rumored attached to it,
right? I think, I think we learned that
rumored use it's like top dorsal fin is like a suction cup,
right? Is that is that the case?
Yeah, I believe so. Do you remember as I remember
anybody, Yes. Did anybody listen to the lesson
that we that we did on rumored? Again, I black out after every
lesson. You know, yeah, that's fair.
That's fair. I also do that.
Yeah. So I guess it's like suction
cupped on there and it just doesn't care.
It just doesn't even care. And the way that it gets its
food also. Did we catch that?
Yes. Well, it eats the scraps, right?
Well, I'm talking about Mantine now.
It opens its mouth, it just flies to the water.
Yeah, it just, it just, it eats things that swim into its mouth.
That's it, right? That's so easy.
Could that be it? Could that be a remarine?
I bet it could be a remarine. It could be, it might be.
Something to think about. Something to think about.
The Mantine giveth, and the mantine taketh away.
That's true. We should have we taken a
number, remember like a head count on all the remoraids that
we have in here. That's a good point cuz.
Maybe we wanna start keeping track, just in case the old man
time here just eats one of them. I think there's about 22 maybe?
22, all right, 22, all right. That's the number. 22.
We'll see. We'll count at the end of this
lesson to see if it's the same right?
If we remember, we probably won't.
Moving on to moving on to the Hoenn region.
Here the first entry says on sunny days, schools of Mantein
can be seen elegantly leaping over the seas waves.
This Pokémon is not bothered by the remerade that hitches rides.
Not bothered at all. No.
#Unbothered. Put that on T-shirt with a
mantein on it. Now I mean, remind me.
Professor, from when we, when we did the remerade lesson, did it
did any of the Yeah, when we did the remedy lesson, did, did did
any of remedy entries say anything about Mantine?
Well, I have an excellent memory and I definitely do remember.
And you know, I'm not stalling for time at all as I.
Sounds like you are. Feels like you're.
Doing look, of course, Mr. Curse, of course this first
entry, second entry here says using a dorsal fin as a section
pad. See, I did say that.
Check the tapes. I just said that.
Check the tapes. Check the tapes.
It clings to a mantine's
underside to scavenge for leftovers.
So yes. OK, OK.
I just wanted to make sure because I was going to say a lot
of Remiraid man times entries are focused around its
relationship with Remiraid, almost like it's, you know,
really more fixating on Remiraid as opposed to man time.
But you know, I don't know, I didn't get the impression from
Remiraid so much that they were. So, you know, it would just, it
just seems a little unequal is what I'm trying to say.
Yeah, well, I mean, we haven't read all the entries yet, so
maybe let's keep going and see if there's more on Mantine
itself. Cuz kind of what we know right
now is that it's cool with Remy Raid chilling on it that eats
things that swim into its mouth, and if it builds up enough speed
it can look as though it's flying out of the water.
Right gliding if you. Want gliding?
Sure. Leaping, I think, is what the HO
and Pokedex entries say, which I think is, yeah, probably a
pretty good description of what it's doing.
OK, the next entry here comes to us from the Sino region.
It says when the waves are calm, one may encounter a swarm of
mantine swimming as if they are in flight.
Oh, OK. A lot of these Pokedex entries
really kind of, I don't know, they really, it feels like
they're kind of forcing. They're saying like, see, This
is why it's a flying type. Guys know we swear it's a flying
type. See they, they swim and it looks
like they're flying, right? So it counts.
It counts as the flying type. There it is.
That's all it is if it. If it looks, you know, if it
looks like it's flying, you get to call it a flying type, so.
It's that simple, yeah. If you even if it's not actually
flying, I mean, I can, I can run around with my arms out and like
jump really high. Does that make me a flying type?
According to like these Pokedex entries, yeah, it seems like you
would. Yeah, I guess so.
The next entry says it swims elegantly, mindless of Rhema
Raid hitching onto its broad fins.
It has a docile nature. It's very chill, you know.
That it's chill doesn't care. I mean will it care if like a
different Pokémon like clung onto its broad fins?
Like what if an artillery suction cupped onto its fins?
Would it be as docile about that?
Probably. Well, I don't how many how many
mantine do you see swimming around that have a have a a
artillery strapped to the bottom side?
Clearly it's not the same relationship, yet Remedy just
has a vibe about it that makes Mantine want to be around it.
No, no, no, no, no. It's the other way around.
Mantine has a vibe around it that Remedy Raid wants.
It has a vibe about it that R.E.M.
Raid wants to be around. Right, right.
But clearly it likes it. Like the Mantine doesn't hang
out let other Pokémon hang out with it that much.
But I mean, I'm so it's like nothing, we've got to like it
too. Nothing we've seen states that,
nothing that you've seen states that Mantine doesn't like other
things attaching to it. In fact, we've seen that it's
docile, that it doesn't care, that it's just, you know, just
very absent mindedly swimming around.
I think, I think if something like an artillery were to
suction cup onto it, it would also, it would be as equally as
chill. It's just that doesn't happen
because an artillery is strong enough to defend itself.
It doesn't need the the crutch of a mantine.
No offense running. Remy, sorry.
Wow, no. Offense running I'm.
Sorry I'm. Sorry, shot me in the eye.
Jeez. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
You should. You should have thought twice.
This is a. Professor here.
You can't be shooting at the other professors.
OK. Well, his respect is goes both
ways, OK. I know I need to respect them
more. I listen.
I'm just I'm just trying to explain to my students for me
why, you know, sometimes like, you know, weak pathetic Pokémon
try to playing to large. Ow geez, why'd you, why'd you
hit me that time? I didn't say that.
The professor said that. Ow oh gosh, we're on the.
Turntables. I like this.
Now you guys are getting hurt
and I am laughing. We're gonna move on here.
Hey. Hey, Mantine.
Control your remerade please if you could.
Wow, wow. OK.
All right, where on earth was? I think I was still in the
center region, the next entry says.
While elegantly swimming in the sea, it ignores remerade that
cling to its fin seeking food scraps.
All right, sure makes sense. Moving on to Unova, there is one
entry here. This one is actually kind of
interesting. So it says if it builds up
enough speed swimming, it can fly over 300 feet out of the
water from the surface of the ocean.
Wow. So that's not like gliding right
on the surface, That's pretty far.
That's very, very far. Yeah, that's very impressive
distance to fly, don't get me wrong.
But you know, you know, like most flying types, they can,
they can just, you know, they can fly a lot more than 300
feet. That's all I'm saying.
That is true. And I guess it's like
horizontally 300 feet, not vertically 300 feet, But it
doesn't say that, so it could be.
The way that it's worded, it's a little bit confusing because it
says it can fly over 300 feet out of the water.
Yeah, from the surface of the ocean, it just sounds like it's
300 feet above the surface of the ocean, right?
That's how that's how I interpret it.
Yeah. Like it flies directly up 300
feet, not like soars for 300 feet.
You know, parallel to the ocean, it's 300 feet up.
Which is pretty high. That's like a what was that,
like a 30 story building? That is pretty high.
That's what I'm saying. That's.
Pretty impressive. That's pretty.
That's pretty high. So you know what?
All right, it's a flying type. I'll, I'll agree with that.
Anything that can be that far in the air, I think should count as
a flying type. And you can quote me on that.
Which is I will quote you. Which is why I've decided that
Rocket is a flying type. Well, he's orbiting space.
He's not really flying. He was Corbin, he was flying,
and it was beautiful. It was beautiful to watch.
What? Do you mean was there's still
flying? Because you say he's not flying
now. Well, he's in orbit.
That's not really flying. Yeah, like he.
Was when he was going into orbit.
Right, that's what you mean. Has anybody checked on my boy
Rocket in space? How's he doing?
What's up with him?
So that does it for you, Nova. Let's go ahead.
Let's see here. Kalos has nothing new.
We do have an entry here in Alola.
The first one says postcards and posters featuring Mantine
leaping elegantly above the waves are popular souvenirs of
Alola. Cool cool, I guess.
And the next one says many people have taken up surfing
because they admire how magnificently Mantine swims.
So Alola, these entries kind of suck.
Whoa, got them. Because it's kind of cool.
It kind of like, you know, builds your world of Alola, but
doesn't tell me anything about the biology of Mantine.
But that's not what Alola entries are about.
It's all about learning about Alola, because Alola's great.
Right. Yeah, it really does seem like
the Alola entries are learning about the wonderful world of
Alola. It's great advertising.
Come wheat, you love our mantine leaping souvenirs.
Look how great our our our Pokémon are but.
It isn't even saying that for this one.
It's saying that like, hey, people here surf because of
Mantine. It doesn't say like, oh,
Mantine's fins are, you know, resilient to this amount of
whatever. It doesn't tell me about that,
doesn't tell me what about the food that they eat is.
It just says that their people likes to surf because they see
Mantine surfing. Our our mantines.
Our mantines fly 400 feet, not 300 feet, because we're much
better. And they do it with their eyes
closed. All right, moving on.
There's nothing new from the Gala region.
But, but, but, but there is an entry here from the Hisui
region. Yes, it says this calm and
gentle Pokémon swims gracefully to the sea.
After building speed, it can leap out of the water.
It is often misidentified as a bird Pokémon due to this
behavior. Well, back then it was Hisuiens
were obviously, you know, dumb and primitive so.
I mean, couldn't agree more, Corbin could not agree more.
But I guess that that kind of like ancient bias has kind of
like filtered it filtered its way up to our present day
Pokémon. Biology and our modern day
classification of Mantine. Yeah, yeah, of course.
So we're, you know, it was grandfathered into the flying
Pokémon typing. All right, so let's see here.
There's nothing new from the Paldea region.
However, I think there is something in the Lentil region.
The Pokedex entry says when Mantine swim as a school, they
often race one another. Sometimes Mantine will.
Sometimes Mantine will build up so much speed it leaps right out
of the water. Just flying splash.
Just just lying. Just flying.
Hey Mantine, I'm just flying. Quote UN quote flying all right,
so so that does it for the regional entries.
There is one unique entry which comes to us from ashes Pokedex
and says Mantine the kite Pokémon.
Mantine swims about the ocean majestically and may fly out of
the water if it builds up enough speed.
Like a rocket, not our. Rocket.
Yeah, Like rocket. Like beautiful, powerful rocket.
Like rocket leaving leaving the earth, going into space.
So Mantine leaves the water and goes into the sky.
Right, but rocket's still fine though.
Right, yeah, I was about to say. Except for Mantine comes down
and rockets still in orbit. Forever.
But he's happy with that, right? Beautifully, probably.
He's still beeping, beeping and flashing every day.
#Beeping and flashing. #Beeping and flashing.
You're going to see that in our merch store on a shirt.
With with an amphros orbiting the earth?
Yep. Beeping and flashing Rocket
signed Rocket with Love. Yep, personally signed by him.
OK, that's going to do it. That's all the Bogue next
centuries that we have. I think we should move on to the
testing portion. It's a very.
Easy 1 today. No, no, no.
No, no quiz. Time to do the pop quiz, Pop
queen. Time to do.
A pop quiz. I don't want a pop.
Pop. You know, you think that they
would come to. Expect it.
Pop pop Pop Pop Pop pop pop Pop pop.
Pop no pop such a big thing. Every single time we get here.
No, I know what it is, I just don't wanna.
So we're not doing a pop quiz. We're not doing a pop quiz.
Oh, professor, Yay. What?
Are we doing? I think we're doing something
that really encapsulates the majesty of a Mantine.
So we are doing a poem today. So I would like I did.
I did say a poem, yes. Finally, this is what a great
Pokémon to write about too. Yes.
Are you sure? We can't do a pop quiz.
No, shut up, he said. Poem.
Here the pop quiz pop quiz question #1.
Wow. Wow, we can't do that, can we?
Do wait, can you? Didn't.
Even hear me, you didn't even hear what I said.
I said pop quiz question number one.
Write a poem on Mantel. OK, I like this pop quiz.
This is my favorite one. Yeah, you got it, boss.
Like always, this isn't a this is more of a participation
grade. So really, take the time, Let
your creativity fly. Don't let any worry about, you
know my arbitrary grading hinder you in any way.
Oh, I never do. Great.
All right. I'll see you guys back here in a
little bit when you're done. Professor, I have written my
elegant, beautiful, majestic poem for you.
Corbin, I can't wait. I'm so excited to hear.
The are. You running in from outside, Mr.
Curse? Where did you?
Where did you go? I didn't even see you leave to.
Stay in here. What do you?
Yeah. Gosh, and you're splashing water
everywhere as you run. I I'm sorry, I need me to make
such a mess. I just I, just I.
Needed clocky. Yeah, clocky, I'm so sorry,
Clocky, I'm so clocky. I'm so sorry.
I'm so. Clocky.
OK, Alright. You didn't.
You're not gonna answer where you came from.
That's fine. I don't.
I don't really care that much. Alright, so we have some poems
here to read. Corbin, would you like to start?
I know I don't. I.
Had to go make. I had to go make some coffee.
I don't care. I don't care.
I don't care, Corbin. I don't care.
Portia love Portia cut out whatever he said.
We don't care. We don't care where he was.
I would love We don't need the back story, we don't need the
lore. I would love to start first with
my poem if that's OK with. The worst for first, let's hear
it. All right, this one is called
Mantine. Here we go.
Inspired. 2PS2 pods. No masters, no gods.
Two friends, 2 hearts where one begins, the other starts.
Rememorate in Mantine. 2 souls now combined.
Swimming fast, swimming free, Gliding through flowing seas.
The Mantine doesn't mind. It's loving and it's kind.
Not in class, but in schools, leaping without any rules.
Remerade waits. Remerade wonders, after being
left asunder for its buddy, for its comrade, the best it's ever
had to descend, to come home beneath the waves, bubbling
foam, to rejoin, to see again the Remerade it calls a friend.
Beautiful. I love it.
You were. Yeah, I guess like that
definitely. In the beginning I was kind of
like, wait, where's this going? But yeah, obviously 2 peas in a
pod. That's Remerade and Mantine.
Also, you do bring up an interesting point, Corbin, that
I think we take a couple minutes right now to talk about.
So when Mantine does just blast out of the water at 300 feet,
you think? Did I say Remerade or Mantine?
When Mantine blasts out of the water 300 feet in the air, you
think Remorates coming along for that ride.
No, no, no, no, of course not. What I mean is, what do you mean
behind? I think I think it's very
possible that it could. I don't know if the I don't
know, maybe because it's. The way I think comes onto the
wing of the Mantine, it's suckered on there.
This was written from a perspective of it's OK to have
other friends that go off and do other stuff.
You know what I mean? OK, so last weekend Gordon had
some other friends that he hung out with, and I was not invited
because I didn't know these friends.
And that's OK. And Gordon's my roommate the
cadaver for those again. Who dresses like a Mr. Rhyme?
Remember the? Dress the Mr. Rhyme.
Remember the Laura's very key. But you know, it's kind of like
the Rumor Aid and the Mantine are attached to the hip.
They're best friends, however the Mantine deserves to go off
on his own and be with his own kind and to have fun.
But he will always come back. After flying around the seas
with his Mantine buddies, he will always come back to.
His roommate, maybe. Hold on, wait a second.
Hold on. Wait, wait.
Hold. On a second.
Wait a second. No, I thought I said a really
good point. We should brain.
Blast, brain blast. I'm getting a brain blast.
Hold on hold on. Does anybody remember how far
out of the water remorade can hit stuff?
100 feet. No.
Why that 300 feet? Whoa, hold on the.
Reason it can hit stuff, it can hit stuff from that far is
because it is parallel to them, because it's flying next to
them. It's attached to the mantine,
it's flying there. There's literally a wingle next
to it flying in the sky. It's like, hey buddy Ting Ting
and then it falls down. I think.
I think you could say it's, I think what it's doing is it's,
it's practicing so it can protect.
It's man time, buddy. That's that high in the air and
it's protecting it by shooting down other predators that way.
You cracked the case. I think that's what's going.
On. That's good.
I didn't even think of that,
Professor. Wow.
Corbin, Corbin, thank you. This wonderful poem that's
really, I think it's a perfect example of what poems can do,
can make us think and wonder. What art does It provokes
discussion. Incredible.
And it's a wonderful, you know, view of art.
And it was enough of all of that.
Let's hear whatever crap Mr. Curtis has.
Whoa. And here.
Even his poopy poems are still considered art by some, you
know, mentally. I'm just gonna.
Take that again, Whoop. Take that again.
Whoop. They take that again.
By some people. By some people.
So let's hear it, Mr. Curse what you got?
I was gonna dedicate this poem to you, professor, but you
brought my poem poopy. I don't want it.
I don't want it dedicated to me. Mr. Curtis.
All right, I'll dedicate it to the to to the all the mantines
in the world. Yeah, you're just gonna.
Quick slip here yeah, quick slip here yeah, I get some snap I.
Forgot that last week, so I'm gonna get.
There, no. I took a big swig last week too.
All right. OK.
Sorry for not remembering. Yeah, that was a week ago.
Let your creativity fly or hold on, hold on, Let me start real
quick. Hold on.
I need to take. Portia, keep all this in.
This is all gold. Hello.
Yeah. It's all gold.
OK, Much better. Let your creativity like a
mantine fly. All the haters are just the
river aid eating scraps at your side.
Pay them no mind. As you drive by 300 feet over
the wave into the sky. You glide freely.
Consume everything that goes in your mouth like stir fry.
Inspire those around you like the surfers of Aloha who stare
wide eyed. Thank you.
Beautiful. All right.
That was pretty good. I think it was pretty
information filled there. Mr. Curtis, you're talking about
thank you there, defeat in the air, but did it?
Spark a discussion. No, it didn't.
It did Spark. A discussion.
It didn't think about all the good stir fry you could eat.
Yeah. What is stir fry?
Never heard of that. What is stir fry, Mr. Curtis?
I'm thinking about it. I'm not discussing.
It Sir, it's, I mean, OK, so you take a bunch of ingredients, all
right, Like some noodles. And some vegetables.
Anything you can. Find and some some meat and then
you you put you put some seasoning on them.
You get some juices in there and then you put it in a pan and fry
it and while you fry it you stir it.
It's pretty. Cool.
Oh my. Gosh, wow.
And this relates to Mantine Tau. Because you can freely consume.
You can freely consume stir fry that fly.
You know, like mantines eat everything that goes into their
mouth. All right.
I really find myself walking in stir fry just flying into my
mouth. Yeah, you know when when the
when the weather for the day says 90% chance of stir fry, I
just I just go outside, open my mouth the.
Only time I'm riding my bike on the way to class and like
there's a stir fry flying in my mouth.
It's like a real problem during this time of the.
Year delicious. A delicious problem, I'll admit.
A delicious problem, but it's still a problem, you know.
Right, right. So I mean see it is provoking
discussions. Yeah, Corbin, Yeah, No,
excellent job. You both get full marks.
Very, very well done. OK, let's go ahead.
I think, I think this is a good place to close out this lesson
on Mantine. Does anybody know who we're
going to be talking about next week?
Steve all form of Mantine. It's Whale Lord, right?
No, no, Mantine. Wrong on so many levels.
Mantine does not evolve into Whale Lord.
Wilmer, sorry I skipped 1. No.
Oh OK, no, well Mantine does not evolve into Wilmer.
How about the situation? Oh, what about hey, what about
Mantec? How can we talk about?
Mantec yet? No.
OK. So yeah.
It's Mantec. Mr. Curtis doesn't give a good
point. Mantec does evolve into Mantec,
but sure, you know, this is Mantec was discovered in a
different region. So we won't talk about that
Pokémon until we get to that region.
So we got some time before then. I know, I know.
But and in any case, it's not who we're learning about next
week, although it is a flying type next week.
OK. Flying and and steel.
OK. All right.
Steel and flying. Flying and steel.
Steel. Is it Korvanite?
Yeah. It's gotta be Korvanite, right?
That's what I was gonna. Say no, it's not Korvanite.
It's not. Age of slash.
Well, age of slash is not flying type.
It is a steel type though. One more.
Guess. One more guess, they can hover.
Scarmory. Yes, we are.
Yes, very good. Corbin.
We are learning about scarmory next week.
I'm so. Yes, I've been guessing that one
a lot, so I knew it was there. Have you?
I can't remember. Once or twice.
Anyways, join us next week for our lesson on a scarmory.
I'm very much looking forward to it.
If you would like to contact me. You being the virtual students,
Corbin, you, not you. I know I'm looking at you, but
I'm speaking to the virtual students.
If you virtual students would like to contact me, you can send
me a Gengar mail at wwwpokemon@gmail.com and you can
find that in the link in our description below.
You can also find the link to our YouTube channel.
Yeah, Mr. Curtis. Yeah.
Tell us what's in the YouTube channel.
Well, just one thing in the YouTube channel.
Just one thing. What's just one thing?
Hours upon hours of content on the YouTube channel.
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, fun days.
That's right, come down, come on down on Sunday and and talk to
the professor, myself and Corbin as we play a game on our YouTube
channel and interact with our wonderful fans such as you are
students at home. Yes, very good point.
Read that off his hand again. I like it.
Very good point. Mr. Mr. Curtis.
If you would like to talk to us directly, you can do so on our
stream Live. We live, We are live.
It's not pre recorded, I promise.
You don't have to wait. You don't have to wait for 2 to
400. Sorry, exactly.
You don't have to wait 2 to 400 business days for us to read
your e-mail. You can talk to us live on the
live stream guys. Yes, yes, very good.
Corbin, if you could please tell us something that's on our
Patreon. There is a whole playlist full
of bloopers and outtakes. There's a whole playlist.
You have a cough, Mr. Curtis. Yeah, just why are you?
Oh, that's a machete under your coat.
OK, There are doodles. Yeah.
That Mister Curtis. Does every week.
So if you're listening to this lesson right now, there is a new
doodle that Mister Curtis drew and he usually draws 2 versions
of it, one from memory and one from, you know, tracing or
something. No, I didn't.
I think he just, he looks at it as he's doing.
I don't think he traces them, Don.
I hope he's not tracing them. I wish they would be better.
They'd be far better, yeah. He might be tracing them, I
don't know. No, no, I don't think so.
But yeah, Mr. Curtis has those drawings on there also.
Blip personnel takes, those are on there too.
Yeah, and listen, we're only charging you $1.00 a month to
see these horrible, horrible doodles.
So I think it's a pretty. The lowest tier.
Pretty darn good deal if you ask me.
There's other stuff like a Nuz lock for $1.00 and access to our
Discord for $1.00, but yeah, that's fine.
And also I want to mention one more time, we mentioned this
last week, I'm going to mention again, the tiers are one dollar
$5 and $10.00. So if you're paying something
that is more than that for any of those tiers, it's probably
because you're using the app. The Apples, a third party
application that's gonna charge you more for their service like
Flapple does that. Go straight to the Patreon
website. Go to the Patreon website.
Please please please just go to the Patreon website.
We don't want greedy companies to be getting to be taking extra
money from you guys. Yes, we're the greedy ones.
We're the greedy ones. We're enough money.
No, but anyways, so yes, thank you.
Thank you so much for coming to this lesson.
I mean, I don't know why I'm thanking you.
You pay for these lessons so you know, it's and it's all part of
your grade and you welcome, professor, to catch Pokémon in
this wonderful world of Pokémon that we live in.
But anyways, until next time class is dismissed.
