Hello there and welcome to the world of Pokemon.
My name is Professor Jacob and thank you so much for attending
this lecture on Pokemon biology. Joining me here today in the
classroom is of course, my wonderful teaching assistant mr.
Curtis, please, say hello to everybody, mr.
Curtis. Oh, thank you.
Hello everybody design. Stir Curtis.
I am here for class today as I am, every day, even when class
is not in session, I just come on the days.
When we're off just in case, the professor decides he wants to
give an impromptu class, you see I do pop.
I do pop quizzes, not pop classes.
He's never done a pop Tommy but when in listen in the six the
six times I've taken this class to the end that was seven.
This is the status of the 70 this that.
Okay. Excuse me.
He's never, he's never shown up. Pop class.
But I, you know, I know the one time I don't come, he's gonna do
it. So I make sure I'm here every
day of the week. You see, that's why I also come
every single day of the week, but I hide just to see if mr.
Curtis comes or not that one day that he doesn't, then I'm going
to have the pop class. That's right.
Yeah, I would also hide from Curtis every chance that I get
Well, you know that other that other voice that you're hearing
students at home that is our wonderful trainer in training.
It's of course Corbin please say hello to everybody Corbin.
Yo what's up? Oh that's gonna hi.
What's up, everybody? Feeling good today, I'm feeling
good, you know, I feel a lot of stress has just been lifted off
my shoulders because I know that we're still talking about the
Abra line, yes of Pokemon. Exactly.
And we got to be, we gotta make sure we clear our heads.
So my head is cleared, I'm at peace.
I'm not thinking about a whole lot today.
Yeah, you guys are used to be thinking about a ton of stuff
that happened heads full of knowledge.
There's so much knowledge in here.
Normally, you guys are usually so dumbfounded by how much I
have to say. So, I thought I'd clear my head
today and the same classes that we are.
No, I don't know. It's kind of, its kind of nice.
It's a nice. I actually meditated this
morning in my head is very clear and I'm having a good having a
good day so far. It's great.
I mean, how was the only one that you need to have a clear
head for because? Oh, okay.
Right. I'm clearing my head.
All right, so I need to calm down.
Did you hate? Did you enjoy it, though?
Did you enjoy that time? I did it all, then.
It's not wasted. Yep.
That's right. Exactly.
Okay. So, yeah, mr.
Corbin was exactly correct. We are taught.
We are still talking about the abberline.
We're talking about the final evolution in that line.
As I've been want to throw a name out there for what this
Pokemon is Curtis. What is it?
You know, it, come on. This is Rowlett.
That's right. Growling, it's not, it's not
heavy, roll it for a very long time.
I just so it's alacadabra. I just that's that's the second
most pokemon I want to talk about what's the first spinarak?
Obviously I was it was it was a joke.
We know. Okay.
See you ever shut up about every class but more like a joke
Curtis, What Pokemon do you love to talk about every week?
What Pokémon is a spin track? Oh ha ha pause for laughter
pause for laughter. Yep.
Okay, see you said, wait, what do you say?
Cadabra's am or something out? It's alacadabra.
Don't be rude. It's a camera.
No, it's, I mean, you're kind of close to so Kadabra for an
instrument, right? Alakazoo Kadabra had a name and
it's like can understand why you would think that.
The next one would have cadabra's name in it, but it
doesn't, we're learning. Alakazam Alakazam today, which
is the final evolution in the are aligned.
It is. Yes.
And it's, it's a pretty rare Pokemon because the
circumstances to get a Kadabra to evolve our little bit odd,
you want sacrificed Arceus. That's the one that you got, it.
That is odd, but it's not how you do it, okay?
You essentially have to take your Kadabra.
And give it to your friend. Oh, and for some reason, that
makes it evolved into an Alakazam.
I don't understand the transition there.
And what that, how that gives it enough energy to evolve and make
sure you don't have any friends. How do you evolve a Kadabra?
Well, you have to make you have to make are asking for a friend.
He doesn't have any. Wow, weird.
How that works? Yeah, I don't know if he's a
loser, you have to create like a super Convincing, you know like
mannequin of yourself. Okay.
And then give it to that man again, okay, yeah, yeah nice.
Yeah, you make sure your friend isn't a jerk and then runs away
with the Alakazam and doesn't give it back.
He's like, yeah, that would be rude.
What's the point of training up a Kadabra and then trading?
It has soaked, involvement Alakazam.
Then not getting it back. What's the point of that?
Yeah, I don't know. That's what I was gonna say.
Yeah, I would suck. I bet Team Rocket steals a lot
of cadavers then we're all exams.
Yeah, I In there, they're pretty rare.
And in fact it's it's like it's see, this Pokemon is super weird
to me and I guess just get this off my chest.
It's incredibly intelligent and it has like an IQ of 5000 which
is a ludicrous number. It's absolutely wild number and
it makes me wonder why it's okay with us.
Putting it into little Pokeballs and carrying around like having
it carried around with us in those Pokeballs.
And then Sing it to fight other Pokémon.
It just seems beyond it, right? It feels like, it feels like it
should be the trainer and we should be the Pokemon if it
really, is that smart right? Right, right.
Yeah. I don't know.
Maybe he likes to comfort inside the ball?
I don't know. Who knows?
Maybe I don't know why don't we ask it?
Oh, would you assess? Are you asking to see in
Alakazam? We do you have one?
Did you trade with somebody? Do you have a friend?
Can I be their friend to did you bring Casey?
So yes. Where's Terry?
Do not tarry.
Its Casey. It was it was oh, devolve into a
Kadabra. All right.
And yes, I was able to get it to
evolve into an Alakazam. I did have to use the mannequin
technique, but that's just because I didn't have time to
have to ask a friends. Yeah, I always use Jeffrey from
the inter-regional association of assistance to
professionalism. I feel like that name is
changing again different. Yeah, it's not every time.
Yeah, whatever. Time we have a meeting.
We go back through to revise to see if we want to update the
name you know. Oh yeah that's good for social
media. Yeah, well good for recognition,
get the name out there which one we don't know.
We don't know. Just all of them.
Um, all right, so I'm gonna go ahead and throw out Casey, we're
going to see notice some differences here between Kadabra
and Alakazam there, because they're okay.
Alright, let's take a look. All right, let's see, let's see.
Whoa, that's all those horns. What are those?
I guess you could call them horns it and but it's the same
kind of General Vibe of a cadaver, right?
The same color more similar in like in any inform, you know?
And yeah body style it still has those like you know, like that
weird body armor looking stuff on it.
Yeah. Okay.
Yeah. Bigfix Soldier plates.
Yeah, it's yes, go ahead. Does it like see Ariel.
Why does it have two spoons? Well Kadabra have one spoon
helped Focus, its power. So I would assume it's an
extension of that. Okay cool.
Yeah. All right sick.
Yeah I like it. It's got a really long mustache
to I like that very groovy and no tail.
The tail is completely on their tails gone.
Didn't need is true. It just a weakness.
A weakness that tail was weakness is a very intense
looking eyes and a big noggin you know.
Like you can tell there's something powerful hiding in
that. That skull.
Yeah, I like it. You know man.
Alec exams are very intelligent. Maybe we could try to test that
knowledge a little bit. I'm not sure.
I'm not sure if you could call you.
Okay, Corbin ask away. Whoa, whoa, did his voice sound
different? Ask.
Okay, you sure we can have come back.
Mr. Curtis, you have some questions that you might want.
Um, yeah sure, what's the first? Remember you're asking Alakazam
not Corbin. That's right.
Cor, I mean Alakazam, this is good one for you.
What did the professor eat for lunch today?
Shrimp tacos, with a side of yogurt and mustard, he knew,
wow, my favorite combo. It's not a lot of people like to
mix mustard in Yogurt. But I love it for some mean.
Yeah, to stand watching you slather that all over the tacos
for lunch, just bring so much joy to my heart.
I just you were watching me. Oh yeah, I monitor all your
meals. Have to make sure you're getting
enough of a balanced diet. Professor, have you finished
your questions? No.
Okay. Sorry.
Okay. I guess so, I guess the, how can
they have has taken over Corbin somehow with its cycle a house?
That is that true Alakazam? I paid for the empty is mined in
the room. Oh, that that stands to reason
if Alakazam and corben's brain, maybe I can get now because a
man's brain. Is he in there, mr.
Curtis it appears that you've soiled yourself.
Yeah, he does do everything. All right, I did try really hard
there. Let me ask a question.
Alakazam how many stars are in the Milky Way There is 1 comma 0
4 7 comma 2 4 6, comma 3 3 2 comma 3 7 9 4 comma 2.
Okay okay okay we get we get it, we get it.
I don't I shouldn't have asked that one.
I don't know the answer to that myself.
I know it's a lot and looks like he was, he was on that that kind
of that trail curse. You have any other questions you
have? You want to test it out?
Okay, I have a good one for you. Choose your questions very
carefully. Yes.
This is that a threat? No.
It's a promise. No.
No, of course not but this this is one is the one that only only
I would know there's no way Corbin would know this one so
that way we know he's not faking.
How many toes are on my feet 11 and 3/4 how did you know is that
right you? Oh my God.
Wait what's the 3/4 of at? Oh yeah it's where I ate my twin
in. In in the weight when we were
embryos he said 11 and 3/4 is that mean you have 11 like so,
the whole separate toes and then another 3/4 of 1 or do you have
10 regular toes and then another one.
That's so big. It's like the size of one full
regular toe and three quarters of another one.
Right? Well, so the the he said, yes to
that one. Yeah, the one that is one, and
three quarters of a size comes off like the side of my foot.
And that's actually all. That's better, right angle?
Yeah. It's the it's all that's left of
my twin that twin that I ate in the womb.
So I wrote tired and weary of this empty mind, please ask one
more question. I have one more question for
you. All right, it's very simple,
very easy. What is 57 thousand, two hundred
times 85 thousand six hundred and thirty three.
Four billion. Eight hundred and ninety eight
million two hundred and seven thousand six hundred.
Okay, homie. Let me type that into my
calculator here. Well, would you look at that?
He is exactly correct. Okay.
Here here we have it. Everybody, this is you can't
just take at face value everything you hear, right?
And so we tested it ourselves and I can say, without a doubt
that Alakazam is a pretty smart cookie.
That's true. You're welcome.
I'll get you next time out exam and can I just say your mustache
is lovely. Thank you.
All right. Can we have Corbin back please?
Absolutely. A Corvette that feeling.
Oh my God, I blacked out for the longest time.
I'm really craving shrimp tacos. Yeah, with with some mustard and
yogurt, Jack, did you read my mind or something?
That's crazy. Yeah, maybe I'm just as smart as
Alakazam. No.
Did you guys ask it anything or like, you know, I have a
question. Why did you know it's turning
around? I don't know why sir.
All right, I'm going to put it back into its, it's It's
pointing his finger at my Pokeball, which is, oh yeah, a
little ruv. You don't want to talk.
I mean, I thought we were going to ask it questions.
That is not. We did we.
Did we did answer. Yeah, that's done.
It's oh, I'll send you the recording of the lesson and then
you can, you came? Oh okay.
Well, where was I was, I take a nap or something you can you'll
see in an only it asked are we asked it three really good
questions and it gave us the correct answers?
Hmm, okay, sweet good. Very good, three really good
questions and then one really bad.
Justin, I guess. No, no, there was only three
questions asked, I don't know. Nothing about Curtis and his
personal body. What did you guys ask this thing
Chris you're the one who asked that?
No I don't I mean I just assumed it would never know but it what
would it? Did it know that I didn't
assume? It wouldn't know?
I don't know because that question never happened.
Alright, let me ask it one before it goes.
Do you want to be my friend? Whoa.
We should have just went back in the Pokeball.
Yeah that's it. I never seen a Pokemon willingly
go back and actually somehow manipulate technology to force
itself back into the ball. That's pretty crazy.
Yeah, I guess that's what happens when when you try to
talk to other people. Yeah, I know when your voice
goes off, I kind of a kind of--if you Pokeballs and think
about what it would be like to go in there.
Well, thanks man. Appreciate that.
All right, all right, all right, enough of this dilly-dallying.
Let's let's get to why we're here.
Reading Pokedex entries? Are we are you guys ready?
Yep. Oh hey all right starting off in
the Kanto region. Of course the first one here
says it's brain can outperform a supercomputer.
Its intelligence quotient is said to be 5,000.
Hmm. So I was saying that before its
IQ is 5000 which is a ridiculous.
Number knows what's the average? What's the average adult humans?
It's around, geez, it's in the hundreds.
It's like 120 or 130 or something like that.
Nice, nice. Okay, wow.
That's a lot more. Yeah, just a little bit.
And I guess I don't know if like, I don't know if people
have calculated what a super computers IQ would be.
I don't know if I'd like a nonliving thing can have an IQ
technically, but essentially, if the, if the IQ intelligence
question, doesn't do it for you, also, it can now perform a
supercomputer. Geez.
Okay, that's impressive. Yeah, definitely.
Next one, here says a Pokémon that can memorize anything.
It never forgets what it learns that's why this Pokemon is
smart. That's why huh?
Yeah so I mean there is more to being intelligent intelligent
than just, you know, memorizing everything.
But it's certainly doors, have a great memory.
Does does help help you? I know increase your sure.
Alright, the last one here in the Kanto region, says, a
Pokemon that uses psychic power. It is highly intelligent and
capable of instantly identifying its foes weakness.
Hmm, absolutely. Like Curtis has 11 and His toes.
What you have? What, what are you talking
about? I don't worry.
That's how do you know that? That's gross.
That's not true. How do you shoes?
I'd never happen. Oh no, not until now, oh my God.
Like, there's like, a weird like, outcropping on the side of
his life, your shoes custom-made.
I don't know what you're talking about.
He has to whether it's either that or break is weird.
My feet are normal. I can tell you for a fact that
they're not leave But I feel low see, quite clearly.
Clearly, this is a really leaves you for leave Tommy alone.
Tommy, actually toast. That's the Nate.
That's the. That was gonna be his name.
I have never wanted you to continue teaching more my life,
please? OK, let's go on to the Johto
region. Then closing, both its eyes
heightens all, its other sentence senses.
This enables it to use its abilities to their extremes.
Hey, that's kind of, like Abra it.
Was it kind of focus its powers more?
When its eyes were closed and teleporting, right?
I believe you mean Kadabra. No, that was a brow abraca
teleport and it focuses. Yes.
The it can't teleport and it sleeps all the time but its
leaves all the time because if it doesn't sleep all the time,
it loses its telekinetic Powers. A psychic powers are like very
rough on its brain. Abra was the one where if it
closes its eyes, it increases its power.
And also if Focuses on. It's spoon.
It also increases its power, gotcha, gotcha.
But, yeah, so it seems like Alakazam could do something very
similar. Hmm.
The next one. Here says, it's brain cells.
Multiply continually until it dies as a result.
It remembers everything. That's crazy.
Yeah, that is as pretty great. And so like so like the reason
it's smart is because it remembers everything, but it
remembers everything because it's brain cells, multiply
continually until it dies. That's, you know what?
I wish I could say the same for myself.
Yeah. Yours are like decreasing at a
rapid. Yeah, I started I served with
him out that I would have as an adult.
I think they're decreasing, you know, ya brain cells as the
average adult have just find that out.
I think it's about 200. I would say if I had to guess
yeah something like that. That's an educated guess Curtis
do you wager a guess brain cells ordered I'd say I'd say I'd say
I'm gonna pull one out of Alec has a book for this one.
This is going to be 336,000. Okay.
Alright, well the closest without going over was
definitely mr. Curtis, I mean it wasn't 200.
No, no, I'm praying. As aren't made up of two hundred
cells and that's it. I was a little off.
Okay. All right, so yeah, I mean I
would assume that Alakazam has way more than that and it is
constantly multiplying and that's how it memorizes
everything. Alright, the last one here from
the joke. No reason.
Says region says, it has an IQ of 5,000.
It calculates, many things in order to gain the edge in every
battle. Yeah.
What do you do this? What do you think some of these
things that I calculates are? I think it calculates the
opponent's speed there, okay. You know, basically, all the
stats India towels on its physiology individual grains of
dirt on every Square centimeter of the entire Battlefield.
As well as how would that help it in the battle, the exact
parameters of air and air flow and and it knows everything
about every Speck of matter within the battlefield.
So it knows exactly how to use the environment into terrain to
its Advantage as it floats around.
Okay, yeah, see that. Maybe the, the punch to cry
ratio. So How likely the the Pokemon
the opponent Pokemon is? Is to cry.
If you punch it in the face real hard, that could probably help
it out a lot. Yeah, sure.
Of course yeah. Yeah.
How many it calculates the average circumference of each of
mr. Curtis has toes.
Well, okay, enough about the toast please.
I beg you. I'm sorry.
All 10. Appropriately sized Toes that I
do. Yeah, so it's pretty easy for
it. Okay.
All right, let's move on to the Hoenn region.
First one here, says Alex. Eames Alakazam Huh.
Because in whoa, Uncle Tom Alec has a brain continually grows,
making its head far too heavy to support its neck.
This Pokemon holds its head up by using its psychokinetic
powers instead. Wow.
Okay, yeah. So instead of you because that's
the thing, I mean I don't know if you noticed this when
Alakazam was out but it ain't got no muscles.
It's a string bean for sure. Yeah.
Yeah so I bet it's defense stats or terrible.
Yeah, I guess if you could boil down, a Pokémon's defensive
ability into some kind of statistic on the scale of, you
know, on that scale as compared to all the other Pokémon
Alakazam would probably be pretty darn low.
But if you're going toe-to-toe with like a like a like I'm a
champ or something it would get its ass handed to it.
Maybe definitely not. No, no.
Okay? What everybody Alakazam can
handle a Machamp. No problem.
Easy. Right.
Yeah, like it would crumble it up before that Machamp even
thinks to start attacking oh word, nice.
Yeah. But if you get something creepy
crawly on it like like Butterfree or or a pair of
stacked game over game over for Alakazam, doesn't like the
creepy crawlies. There's a, it's a weird kind of
Power Balance that exists in this world if you really think
about it. It's true.
It doesn't make any sense. But hey, when I was here, it
does, we're not here to understand it.
We're here to learn about it. And understand it.
Alright the next thing here in the Hoenn region says Alakazam
his brain. Continually grows infinitely
multiplying brain cells. This amazing brain gives us
Pokemon astoundingly high IQ of 5,000.
It has a thorough memory of everything that has ever
occurred in the world. Damn everything.
Like a whole like to get history book.
Okay. But that's that's different
from, you know, just memories that happened to itself, right?
That's memorizing. That's ever happened ever?
Yeah, that's intense. Which is pretty crazy.
Yeah, like, how does it know Danny while it's trying to do
that? That's when the spinner extract
says yeah. Okay, I gotta be honest, I don't
think a spinarak is gonna be able to take out in Alakazam.
I think, in Alexander's gonna have a spinarak beat and ariados
maybe can take on an Alakazam, but they are pretty bad Pokemon.
Don't just, you know, what did you say?
I said that well, it has strong psychic abilities and high
intelligence and Alexander's muscles are very weak.
It uses psychic power to move its body so it's not just its
neck that you Has it's like a kinetic powers to hold up.
It also just it moves, like every part of its body with its
psychic powers. Nice, that's crazy.
So it's really that weak that it has these in psychic powers for
pretty much everything, huh, true, but I mean like that's not
too different from how we control our own bodies.
I mean yes we have muscles but how do we control the control
those muscles with? I mean, involuntary impulses
from the brain, right from the brain.
Yeah, parade. Alright, the last one.
Here. From the Hoenn region says it
does not like physical attacks very much.
Instead it freely uses extrasensory powers to defeat
foes. Nice.
Yeah, I mean, it's like in do any punching or kicking?
All right, let's move on to the center region.
It's superb memory. Let's it recall.
Everything it has experienced from birth.
Its IQ exceeds five thousand, mmm, okay.
Go get em out of times, that they're saying that IQ is higher
than 5,000. You think I might include that
in my pop quiz. Wait, there's a pop quiz.
God dang it. I gave it away.
Dang it. I like to keep my boys, come on,
not expecting that at all. Yes.
So, maybe might be a good idea to write down that number.
All right, I'll write that down. Okay?
With another 4,000 5,000. 5,000, at least 5,000, at least a
minimum. It's highly developed.
Brain is on par with a supercomputer.
It can use all forms of psychic abilities.
Okay, telekinesis psycho. Kinetics hydrate cases.
Hydro kinesin. I hero Kinesis I guess I feel
like is he? Yeah I guess so.
Um I don't know what other kind of teleportation.
Butter. Kinesis, I can bend butter of
right? Maybe Concerned butter back in
the pilgrim days. They churned butter energy,
breast, and primarily what Alec exams were used for.
Was churning butter that I see. I told you it seems like a seems
like a an appropriate use of Alexander's fast.
Yeah brother. Yeah.
Totally thousand percent. Alright the next one here says
the spoons clutched in his hands are said to have been created by
its psychic powers. What.
Yeah, so like it doesn't just like grab a spoon from like the
spoon drawer. It like creates it out of thin
air. Mmm-hmm I guess Gorman and find
that. Very interesting.
No, I said, I said the next one then no.
I said like yeah. Wow.
Like that's cool. Like I agree like that's cool.
Are you sure he didn't say like mmmm?
No, that is a precedent. What's it?
Making it out of, you know, like some of the think about because
that is something to think about.
All right, so that does it for this.
Peace in our region and the you Nova and Kalos as they always
do, just copy and pasted. So let's move on to the Aloha
region. The first one here says it is
said to have an IQ of approximately 5,000.
It's overflowing psychokinetic Powers causes headaches to
anyone nearby, like Psyduck. So, it's almost this.
So, they're on the same playing field in terms of, intelligence
intelligence, hell, no. Okay.
Don't tell a lie that he might be down the hall.
Perry the sidewalk the school therapist for students at home
in case they don't Member Perry is a very intelligent duck.
Okay, no, no intelligence. Its attendant elegance and
psychokinetic and psychic. Ability is different.
All right? I thought the same thing.
Don't look Perry is smart. Okay, I we talk all the time to
and from school and he rides on my bike.
He, you know, we have a lot of deep conversations about the
world, okay? But really think about though,
does he ever actually respond to you, or you just talking to
yourself like kind of like bouncing your ideas off of Okay,
he listens he yeah, he's a listener.
I think he listens. I think he hears me.
No, no, he seems pretty focused. On this Oran, Berry shoes.
I gave him so no! No, he's a good listener.
He's a good listener for sure. Okay.
But you guys got that, right? Overflowing psychokinetic Powers
color flowing. Yep.
Yeah. Cause cause cause cause, cause
cause cause boy, headaches headaches nearby, it causes
headache. Anybody nearby mr.
Curtis, because it's so smart. I got it all the time.
Did you guys get headaches when it was out?
I didn't over and feel of urban planning, psychokinetic Powers,
not intelligence different thing.
Who's got a weight? It has overflowing psychokinetic
side. Excited, kinetic.
I don't kinetic. Right.
Like so kinetic. Right.
So it has overflowing bicycle. Kinetic energy.
Yes. And it causes other people have
headaches because of it, right? Exactly.
Correct. Okay, gotcha.
All right. The next one here says, it's
brain cells. Continue to increase in number
until its death. The older, the Alakazam the
larger its head damn, and I guess that, you know, there's
been some science out, that kind of says that brain size doesn't
actually really correlate to intelligence.
It's more about like the folds and the wrinkles in the brain.
Right. Because, you know, it's about
the surface area and how much you can fit into a small space.
Because the larger the head is the harder it is to hold up.
And so it's not really sure the best kind of a you know, it
doesn't really make sense but you know, it's in the Pokédex.
So who am I to judge? Okay, Alakazam uses its psychic
powers to make the spoons. It carries each spoon is an
original that there is only one of in the whole world, like a
snowflake, like any other spoon. Hmm.
Oh okay. Yeah, there's only there.
I mean, there's only one of that.
Spoon. Well, don't tell the spoons,
that that's kind of rude. I mean, well, no, it's not
you're all unique. Oh yeah, just never told my
drawer. Look pretty similar Professor.
I don't know, but on an atomic level.
They're all different. They're all different from each
other. I suppose, there are a couple of
those. I have looked more times than
I've looked at once. Okay, what.
Yeah, you know, you would you when you're, when you're hungry
and you just lick a spoon, I don't know how you clean off
your spoon. Wounds by licking them.
You've never done that before. Like cleaned your no no I don't
like it. Like I don't my mom's mr.
Mime usually just washes them in the sink.
Like a normal like normal. Like a normal family like well
normal for relegates all the chores to the mr.
Mime normal for you. I suppose I take responsibility
for my own cleaning. Thank you very much.
Curtis your mouth is the most unclean thing on Arceus is
planet. Okay?
Alright, Larry, this last century here, feel all our
region, if it trust somebody deeply it will let them have one
of its spoons, anything you eat anything, you eat with that
spoon is apparently delicious? What?
That's kind of. It's almost sounds like
borderline folklore. Yeah.
Or maybe it's like a placebo effect.
Like maybe, like, you've heard this story before.
And so, like, your brain just tells you.
All right, this thing that I'm eating is now delicious, because
I'm eating it with a, with an Alakazam spoon or I'm looking up
the Gal our region entries here. I'm trying to think, I think
they're very similar. Let me read them.
It has an incredibly high level of intelligence.
Some said that Alakazam remembers everything that ever
happens to it from birth till death.
So it I mean it was the same thing but worded slightly
different, right? And the last one says Alakazam
wields put potent psychic powers.
It is said that this Pokémon use these powers to create the
spoons at holds. It is set.
Make somebody's ever seen it, done knowing what it probably.
Just because So slow, like it just slowly builds them from
like tiny pieces that you. So I don't know.
What do you mean? Nobody's seen it?
Because it builds it. So slow, Curtis, doesn't make
any sense. Yeah, like it.
Nobody sees it. Actually, building, everyone's
thinking. Now this is amazing, Alakazam
must poof the spoon into existence that's not it.
It's a slow. It's a long poem.
It goes home every night and slowly slowly crafts.
It's poo. Moon.
That's right. It's a state doesn't bring it
out until it's fully done a delicate process.
Yeah. And it would have to be for
creates it out of like nothing. Exactly.
Alright. That does it for the original
Pokedex entries. Let me go ahead and read the
unique Pokedex entries for Alakazam.
First one comes to us from ashes Pokedex, of course, it says,
Alakazam a Sci-Fi Pokemon. This Pokemon uses psychic
attacks, to overcome its opponents.
And then the last one, here comes to us from Don's Pokédex.
Says, Alakazam the Sigh Pokémon and the evolved form of Kadabra
with a brain like a supercomputer.
If possesses many different Supernatural powers whooshing
for natural, huh? Yeah, well yeah Supernatural.
I guess super I got I could say that you know psychic and
telekinetic and all that is a supernatural kind of power but
it's not because it's grounded in science, it's not grounded
Outlet. He's well, you know it's science
that we you know magic is science that you don't
understand. Okay.
Yeah. Well that nothing is
Supernatural. Well, that's my point.
It's science. So you just don't like the term
Supernatural just on principle. It doesn't apply.
Do we live in a world with a bunch of crazy stuff happens all
the time. Okay.
You know what I mean? Like, nothing.
Nothing is real. Nothing.
That makes any sense. Nothing crazy.
Crazy ever happens. Definitely didn't happen within
the first, you know, five to ten minutes of this lesson in and of
itself, right? Like Something whatever
happened. I'm just assuming because it
sounded crazy, something like that, whatever was sound
Supernatural. But again, that's based around
science that you guys don't understand because our brains
can't conceive it. That's what we consider magic.
I mean, have you ever been licked by a Haunter?
There's nothing natural about that.
Have you? Yeah.
Why happen. How many nodes might have you
been licked by mr. Curtis don't answer that.
No, don't answer that. It's a lot.
I do.
Oh, if I could give you a number right now professor and I have
to go back through my notes. Yeah, go ahead over here.
You know, I don't think he needs to do that.
I don't think that's the thing. Are you talking about individual
Pokemon or different types of Pokémon different types of
Pokémon? Like, if I don't, looks by three
Pikachu's like that only counts as one or that counts as three
counts as one, okay? All right, that's one.
All right. I'll go through counting, okay.
Just just continue. Please Professor.
All right. Well that, okay, so that does it
for the Pokedex entries for Alakazam.
However, Alakazam Does have a mega form, no kidding, Yahweh.
And there are couple entries here for Mega Alakazam.
It's been 32 talked about a mayor 32 32 different types of
Pokémon 32. What 32 different types of
Pokémon have licked me. I've tried to forget about that
gross. Thank you for, thank you for
reminding me. Please be quiet.
Now, that this period of clearing your mind, he tried to
forget that I did. Alright, let me read the entries
on Mega Alakazam. They of course, come To us from
the Aloha region, which is like the only reason that does pokes
Pokedex entries for the megas. I wish they all would.
They're so interesting. There's so much we could learn
about them their powers almost seems, you know.
Yeah, we get it, we get it. I mean, I think there's they're
not they're cool, but they're not as cool as the chiman to Max
Pokemon some giant manta Max, huh?
Yeah everybody loves a man to maxing so I Jamie answer maxing
Pokémon. They're just amazing.
Sure. Alright let me read these
entries. Cool.
As a result of Mega Evolution, its power has been entirely
converted into psychic energy. It has lost all strength and its
muscles. Oh, nothing really had much.
It didn't have much but now it's completely gone.
Wow. Yeah.
So if you ever see a an Alakazam a Mega Alakazam moving just know
it's using its like psychic powers do that and not muscles
because it doesn't have any Wow cool.
Yeah but I so that that means it has to manually control every
function in its body, right? Well it's like breathing for us
it's just something you don't really think about it.
It's got this how it's got to be for a Mega Alakazam.
I guess it just uses its telekinesis to, you know,
increase like breathe in and breathe out, but I'm sure
without even thinking about it is such a weird thing to say
about powers that originated in your brain.
Yeah. It's psychic Instinct.
Alright, the next thing here says it's hidden psychic.
Power has been Unleashed a glance at.
Someone gives it knowledge of the course of that person's life
from birth to death. Wait, say that again.
What? So, okay.
A glance at someone gives it knowledge of the course of that
person's life from worth, from birth to death.
So even things that haven't happened yet.
Wow. That's insane.
Yeah, it's pretty crazy. Next one says, it sends out
psychic power from the red organ on its forehead.
I'm sorry. What is a, what know what?
It sends out psychic powers from the red organ on its forehead.
I mean that kind of looks like a gym to me.
But what are you looking at Curtis?
I don't see anything. I was sorry, sorry.
I gave the picture on my Pokédex.
All curse came early so I gave him the handout.
I forgot to give it to you and you came in here.
Here, there is no, it's It's just a picture of Mega Alakazam.
Oh that's cool. Okay, so what has that a pimple
like Kadabra? Yeah and so this one like you,
we know that this one isn't like a gem.
Okay, this is a this is an organ this like if you touch it, it's
squishy. You look like a heart.
Yeah, kind of. It seems like a major weakness
that have that on the front of your face.
Oh yeah. That's that's right about its
entire body at this point is weakness.
So True true. But like, not like you could
ever get closer because it can see the future.
True. Okay, so sorry, let me let me I
didn't, I didn't actually finish reading that entry, it sends out
psychic power from the red organized forehead to foresee.
Its opponents every move. Geez.
Yeah, so it basically can't be stopped, and it's like the
ultimate Pokémon, right? It can see everything.
You really do think that this would be the most powerful
Pokémon. But then again, what if some,
maybe it can see the future but what if something can Attack it
or do damage to it faster than it can react.
So even knowing that's going to happen.
If it can't react in time than it doesn't matter.
Right. Right.
Yeah. Well, it's got to be the most
powerful Pokémon, right for. It's too powerful for it to
prevent with its psychic power, so yes, it can see everything
and it knows what's going to happen.
That doesn't mean that's all powerful, okay?
Okay. So how do you counter that?
It's seen by 6,000 and psychic powers or by being a ghost type
because Ghost types don't have a life.
Are already dead. Oh yeah.
So they're complete enigmas to Mega.
I gotcha. See, makes sense lean, you know
what? I got those so like okay, so we
haven't talked about this because I don't think we've
talked about any ghost-type Pokémon yet, not yet.
But there are a lot of ghosts Pokemon out there that were
originally humans. And what I know this is a weird
Band-Aid to rip off right now, maybe I shouldn't but like And
we'll talk about it when we get there, but there's a lot of
Ghost Pokemon that were like. This is a human that took over a
tree stump or some dumb stuff like that.
Why? I'm so it's not.
So if an if a Mega Alakazam can when a glance at somebody, it
gains the knowledge of the person's life from birth to
death and if there are human that will become a Pokemon after
they die. Does it, does it also see that
or is that Beyond Mega Alakazam possibility?
I might be Beyond because this new life, maybe doesn't see
that. You know life.
It has to glance at that new life to see it.
Yeah, exactly. That new undeath that corpse
that ghost. Yeah, so man I can't wait to
talk about ghost-type Pokémon there and cheer their pretty
little pretty interesting. It's like do they die?
Like how does that work? They I mean they don't die but
they have died before, right? But like how does fainting work
with them, dude? I don't know, saying we will get
there, we'll get there. okay, well this next one says I don't
think about this one. Having traded away.
Its muscles. Alakazam is true.
Power has been Unleashed with its psychic powers.
It can foresee all things till the end of time.
That's right, Lee. All right.
This last one here says, it's a depth at precognition when
attacks completely Miss Alakazam, that's because it's
seeing the future. Whoa, dude, when it hits it,
kind of slipped up a little bit when it hits.
It was like, I had a brain fart had a brain fart, and it got me.
Imagine, could you imagine the odor from a from a Alakazam
brain for you? Take a weight, technically, all
of Alakazam, sparts, our brain farts because it doesn't have
any muscles. That's the part with its brain.
Oh wow, good point. All right, I don't normally
title my lessons, but I think I would like to title.
This one Alakazam farts with its brain Alakazam.
It should have been called the brain fart Pokemons race.
I why aren't you writing this down?
Write it down now. This is a note.
Okay. All right fine.
Okay, let me quickly read this unsourced uncredited article and
then we can make our way to the pop.
Who wins? There's a what there's a Quiz.
Oh my God. I didn't say beforehand.
She what are you telling me that spoiled that earlier today?
I gotta get a dog, I guess. It's on.
Look, it's on page 36 of my dictations for this class C
right over here. Oh, what's that stuff?
Because I did not say 36 Pages worth of stuff.
Well, it's right. I always liked notate on like,
what the light level, okay? Whatever you going right?
This lesson is going on a bit long.
So let me let me, let me try to speed it up.
Alakazam is a humanoid humanoid Pokémon with lock with a large
mustache. A female Alakazam is has a
significantly shorter mustache than a male.
Wow, it has a long thin. Snout narrow eyes are like
spikes extending from the top of its head.
Oh maybe those are its ears? Oh yeah yeah not horns.
Yeah. On top of its head and an
additional Spike protruding from each cheek like cheekbones if
you ask me. Yeah, I agree covering its
yellow skeletal body are brown armor like sections over its
chest shoulders forearms and knees.
Are three toes on each foot Each of which has a white cloth to of
the toes Face Forward, while one faces backwards at wields, a
silver spoon in each hand, which act as amplifiers for its
psychic abilities. We have to assume that that
wasn't said in the Pokédex entry is, I mean, it was said and
cadabra's pokedex entry that the spoon amplifies its psychic
powers, but it didn't say that for for Alakazam, but we could
probably, it's probably safe to assume that the spoon Is are
created using its psychic powers and it may give one to someone
at trusts Alakazam is able to lower the accuracy of its
opponents by bending the spoons. It wields.
I mean, notnot in, Pokedex has but, you know, this person, I
don't remember you mentioning that before Professor.
Yeah, I mean, it seems like a weird thing to be able to do to
like, why would a bending spoon? Make me lose accuracy, dude.
I don't know because it may be shines some light off Ben's off
the spoon blinds. You.
It's it's when it's When like Blastoise like shoots water at
it and then it bends it spoon just so that it can catch the
water in that way. You know how like when you're
washing the dishes and like, you know mr.
Mime does that too. Oh yeah.
You know what mr. Mime is why don't dishes and it
like Ben's a spoon perfectly and all the water just like shoots
out of the sink. Wait, sure, I don't really watch
them wash. I just I just lick everything.
Okay. You know what I'm doing, I'm
moving on, move on, move on, as Mega Alakazam, it's mustache
turns, white and becomes longer and bushier.
It also grows a Long White Beard, the armor like sections
become bulkier and it's upper body section becomes slightly
shorter to reveal, its thin stomach, the ear like spikes
becomes slightly shorter and a larger Spike forms.
On top of its head. Additionally, it gains an oval
red. Organ in the center of his
forehead. The organ is said to him, it's
like Powers. Its lower leg has become longer
and Slimmer and its feet, become skinnier and resemble resemble
talents. Games three additional spoons
for a total of five that it levitates in the air.
Wow, so it really maximizes its over there, it creates those
immediately. Wow, that's crazy.
So Curtis you're wrong. It's crazy.
It is crazy stuff on the Fly Mega Alakazam can create spoons
immediately. I don't know if regular regular
out because I'm good. Okay, at the cost of its already
low, muscular strength and Mega Alakazam, his power is entirely
converted to Pure psychic energy.
It can read the course of a person's entire life with a
single glance. Nice Alakazam is able to use all
forms of psychic ability is the Overflow of its psychic powers
can cause headaches to those nearby.
These powers are used to move its body as opposed to its weak
muscles. It also uses its psychic power
to hold up its head, which is too heavy to be supported by its
neck due to its continually growing brain.
Its head becomes larger with age, it is said to have an
excellent memory and can remember everything that has
experienced since hatching as a nap rub its time of its death,
it has an IQ that Exceeds five thousand as found in urban
areas. Yeah, just chilling out with,
with regular humans word. Same work.
Yeah. All right.
So that does it on all of the information that we have for
Alakazam? It is now time to test your
knowledge with. Oh Pop Quiz.
Wait, hold on. Wait, are you when what I know?
It's surprising, it's it always got.
All right, I wish I knew about this.
Why should I? I know I should have told you.
I wouldn't help prepare for it. Damn it.
But go ahead and put away. Your Pokedex is get out your
wrote on laptops, maybe some paper, maybe a pencil.
Maybe, I don't know. It's up to you really.
Yeah. It's this is from collate pretty
laid back. All right.
Are you ready? Yeah, I'm ready.
Yeah, I got a really perfect. Okay.
And on the other a lot more vocal about being ready, sorry
ready? Alright, question number one,
what are two side effects of Alakazam?
She's constantly multiplying brain cells.
Okay. Both of the answers are in.
Let me go ahead and read Corbin's.
First courtroom says, it's brain keeps growing continually
continually and it remembers everything it's ever seen.
It's brain keeps growing continually I mean it's kind of
the same thing as saying it's well that's that's that's a
physical thing. Like it's that's that's a
physical thing. It brain its brain literally
keeps getting bigger and its head gets bigger.
And it remember what gets bigger?
Okay? Okay, well, that's what I meant.
It's brain, keeps getting bigger inside of a Ted and he remembers
everything. Its head is, it keeps getting
bigger and it, Members everything.
What are you? Okay, I'm gonna read mr.
Kurtz's answer. Okay.
All right. It remembers everything.
But its head grows far too heavy to support with its next.
Next I think you definitely went to write neck, right?
Got its got more than one neck. Huh?
No next as in any yeah, support with its neck.
Oh oops, that's okay. So yeah so yeah it's Remember
that everything you got that 100 percent, right Corbin but the
fact, its head continually grows and then becomes too heavy for
it to support. I think is more in line.
What I was looking for there. Okay.
Well it's all good. I'm good.
Most of it, right? Yeah.
I'm gonna give you three
quarters idea. What else?
I'll take that. That's fine.
Take all the shame. What if occurs what else?
What a fair and Equitable answer that shop style trying to make
that thing? It's not gonna be a thing side
of thing. No, one likes when you say that.
All right. Question number two, what allows
Those Mega Alakazam to see the future.
Oh, an answer from mr. Curtis first.
Whoa, quick quickly. Followed from an answer by
Corbin's, let me go ahead and read them.
Now, Corbin says, by staring into someone's eyes, it can see
their entire life from birth to death.
Okay, let me go ahead and read mr.
Curtis has he says, the red organized forehead.
So, we took a very different, we took some very different
approach to this. Oh, yeah.
Mr. Curtis is right here so that's the red a.
So let me read the entry here that I guess.
I kind of took this one from specifically it sends out
psychic power from the red organ on its forehead to foresee its
opponents every move. Oh said that's that's where it's
like if power is damn is focused and so that's that he had me how
it can Foresee the future crap. Missed.
I'm not on my game today. I know.
I can see though, how you would,
how you would think that? But I'm gonna have to, I'm gonna
have to take off points for this.
Maybe, maybe you emptied your brain a little bit too much but
I just, I mean it's just like I mean I don't know like ever
since I have that nap earlier in class just have that in.
Okay sense. It feels like it feels like your
brain had an update and at like moved all your stuff into the
wrong place. Yeah.
Just keep thinking about shrimp tacos and like you know, the
The, the the galaxies and stars and it's just like I do, it's
like my head's not in where it needs to be right now.
It's weird and specifically the number 4 billion, eight hundred
ninety eight million two hundred and seven thousand six hundred.
Can you read minds? Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know. It's a weird weird that I knew
that triangle that I was thinking of that exact number.
It's maybe eight. Maybe I'm an Alakazam.
No. Okay.
All right.
Question number three.
What causes Alakazam to give everyone around.
It headaches. All right, both of the answers
are in Corbin responded with. Let's see if he got the cat.
Got it right this time. Did I get it right?
It's constant psychic. Energy flowing from its Noggin
and mr. Kerr says it's overwhelming.
Psychokinetic Powers now I am very impressed.
Because mr. Curtis has it word for word but
the answer is overflowing psycho kinetic Powers.
Oh, I say Said overwhelming, oh yeah you did say, oh, I wrote
it. I wrote it down.
Over here on my notes. See right here, maybe.
Wait, does it say I wrote down over well?
Overflowing maybe it did say overwhelming.
Oh, I don't know which one, I like the word.
Hello. I said flow.
You did you did. And you know what?
I'm gonna give you the answer. Well, thanks man, like it Powers
less specific than psychokinetic Powers because again,
psychokinesis isn't just straight up like psychic powers.
It's a, it's a A subcategory of psychic powers but I feel bad.
So I'm gonna give it to you or thanks man, I appreciate this
is, it would do. We determine though.
Is it overwhelming or overflowing?
It's it's overflowing. I know, know what.
I'm gonna take some points off of you mr.
Curtis sorry, mr. Curtis all right, you talked me
out of it, you talked me out? Thank goodness.
All right, this last question is an essay question.
Alright, so again, to these questions, these are long-form
answers. With no specific right or wrong?
It's kind of kind of us. I feel like maybe there's an
area where the Pokedex entry was lacking and I just want to see
what you guys think about it, okay, so the question is, what
are Alakazam spoons made out of? Now keep in mind that it makes
them itself out of seemingly nothing and it helps.
We can assume that it helps strengthen its powers once, but
when it focuses on it, And it also does that thing where it
makes every food tastes really good, which is a, which is a
kind of weird thing about it. So keep that stuff in mind when
you're crafting me, you're perfectly worded answers.
Mmm. Okay good.
Good job. Good job, guys.
Both of the answers are in. Let's go ahead and of course
start with korben korben. Would you like to read your own
answer? Do you want me to read it for?
You know what? You can read it.
Okay. Okay.
So Corbin says and is the answer the question?
Is what our out. Sam spoons may have Corbin, says
it can see and know everything. So it finds the strongest metal
and steel from the remains of a long ceased, Steel type Pokemon
and forges it into spoons. This metal which was once the
part of a living Pokemon enhances.
Its psychic abilities. Okay, so you're saying it uses
its like it. So it's not creating this this
out of nothing. It's, you know, it's using
mileage, tiny, little bits and pieces.
Like I mean this is we're not talking about like, a Steel type
Pokemon that just died recently. Oh no, we're talking about it
long deceased poet. Like it's been dead for a long
time and it finds these metal bits within the Earth, and it
brings it out. And then it forges it into very,
very powerful spoons, which enhance its abilities.
Now, why would having the spoon of an ancient deceased Steel
type Pokemon enhance? Its psychic abilities because it
used to be alive, you know? Like it's not just like, oh
that's just pick up a rock on the Ground because it used to be
a part of something that was once alive.
And, you know, the whole earth and living things are all
connected. So it's because it could kind of
see into the future and see, into the past.
It's almost like it's almost a Alakazam can't see into the
future only, well, because I'm all right.
Well, it's, it's almost profiting.
If you will off of that that long deceased Pokemons, I guess
dead energy from its, from its steal.
From from, from the material that made up of It's body.
Okay, you know what, I am fine with that answer that?
That is an acceptable answer to me.
Excellent job. There Corbin.
Thank you. I especially move on to Curtis
Curtis. I will give you the same option
that I gave Corbin. Would you like to read your own
answer, or do you want me to read it?
I Professor, I would be more than happy to preach my truth to
the class. I love it when I mr.
Curtis reads, think so. I am here to tell you today,
that is actually how it stars spoons are made of pure
crystalline sugar, the residents and the criminal critic do.
Excuse me, so good. The resonance in the crystal
structure, resonates with the psychic powers Alakazam.
Mm, it's allowing. I just say I love that.
He says their resonance in the crystal structure.
Resonates. So that's right.
Very good with The crystal Powers Alakazam or excuse me,
the pet psychic powers than Alakazam, it's allowing it to
use them, to help them control their powers.
It generates these spoons from its own blood sugar, which
contributes to the atrophy, we see on Alakazam, it has to
siphon off its own nutrients to build and maintain the spoons.
Finally, this is why thinks taste good when you eat them
with Alakazam spoon. Because everything tastes better
with sugar, I love it, I love it.
That is like, there's an excellent, it's out its out of
the box because I mean like you look you look at the spoons
right and you think that's a metal clearly but right?
No no, wow. This is some kind of weird pure
crystalline structure of sugar. That that resembles a and it's
shininess might have been your best answer yet.
Mr. Curtis good job. Yeah.
And I love the fact and like I like that, it's from its on
blood sugar, right? And so you're kind of using that
same premise that Corbin did where its powers were being
Amplified from like the living nature.
That's still resides in this to go.
The chemicals that make up. Yeah, that's that's, that's a
great answer. Very nice.
I believe it. You know what?
Maybe, hey, maybe you're right mr.
Curtis maybe you're actually maybe this is for once.
You might actually be right. Mr. Curtis, all right, so full
marks the both of you. I mean, on that one, not for the
rest of the quiz. Corbin did very bad.
Rest of the quiz. But for that question full marks
and with that that is the end of today's lesson.
Yeah. Does anybody know who we're
going to talk about in next week's lesson?
Yeah it's Machop it is it is my shop.
Why do you know that? Oh sorry I just I guess the
leftover you Knowledge from the Alakazam earlier and I guess
just rubbed off on me. I don't know.
Yeah it does. That is that does happen?
Some of its Brain cells kind of fell off its body and and
squeegeed their way into your brain.
Probably. But yes, we are learning about
much hop, which is gonna be very exciting as a pure fighting-type
Pokémon and guys, it can pack a punch but that's that's for next
week's lesson until then, if you have any questions for me,
Professor. Jacob, you can G mail them to
me, which, of course stands for Gengar mail, which is a Pokemon
that we have not talked about yet talked about, but we will
soon. I promise it's coming.
It's coming. Can't wait to Gmail.
My Gmail is wo Pokemon at gmail.com.
If you don't have a Gmail account, that's fine.
You can also find me on the flying-type Pokémon theme social
network site. Twitter, you can find me there
at wo Pokémon as well. Also, hey, if you really liked
this lesson and you want other students, if you want this, the
class to grow, you'd have more classmates to work with and
share your homework with then, go ahead and give us a rating on
flap. Will Podcasts.
It's spelled Apple podcasts. It has a invisible F at the
front of it. Yeah.
We're how they did that silence. Yeah.
But give us a real give us a reviewer rating there and if we
get to what was it, 30 30, 30, 30 ratings, we're going to go on
a field trip. We're gonna go on a field trip.
So we'll see. We'll see if that happens.
I haven't talked to the principal yet so maybe it won't,
but that does it for today's lesson.
So until next time class is dismissed Welcome to the world
of Pokemon is a part of the Pokey casters Network.
Welcome to the world of Pokemon is a part of the Pokey casters
Network.
