Welcome to the World of Pokémon

By Professor Jacob

Have you ever taken a close look at the Pokédex entries for each Pokémon? Have you wondered how Bulbasaur gets its bulb or why Wartortle has wings for ears? Then you are the kind of student Prof. Jacob is looking for! Every week, along with his teaching assistant Mr. Kurtis and aspiring Pokémon trainer Corbin, we discuss each Pokédex entry for a new Pokémon! Don’t forget: all grades are final, and Welcome to the World of Pokémon! New lessons every Wednesday. ►Support the Professor's class on Patreon: patreon.com/wwopokemon ►Discord & other links: https://linktr.ee/wwopokemon

151: Mew

151: Mew

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 151st lesson on Pokémon biology. And for the final lesson this semester, we will be discussing Mew: the New Species Pokémon and our first Mythical Pokémon. Mew is the opposite of its man-made counterpart Mewtwo. It is kind, gentle, playful, and purehearted. It has been said that Mew contains the DNA of every single Pokémon. Some even believe it is the ancestor of all Pokémon! Mew is so rare that most people don’t believe it exists. It is rumored to appear only to those with a pure heart and strong desire to see it. And students, we thank you for listening to our Kanto semester. Classes will resume September 6. Enjoy your break!

150: Mewtwo

150: Mewtwo

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 150th lesson on Pokémon biology. Today’s lesson is all about Mewtwo: the Genetic Pokémon. By no circumstances is this a Pokémon for any trainer. Mewtwo is a man-made Pokémon, created after years of unethical research, gene splicing, and DNA engineering based on the Mythical Pokémon Mew. Humans managed to create one of the most powerful Pokémon of all… but they failed to give it a compassionate heart. All Mewtwo thinks about is pulverizing its enemies, especially humans. If you ever happen to spot Mewtwo in the wild, please notify the authorities immediately… and beg for your life. There’s so much to learn about this Legendary Pokémon, so please take good notes!

149: Dragonite

149: Dragonite

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 149th lesson on Pokémon biology. And in today's lesson, we will be learning all about Dragonite: the Dragon Pokémon (again) and final evolved form of Dratini. This incredibly powerful Pokémon can fly so fast, that it is capable of circling the globe in just 16 hours. Easily the fastest Pokémon we have discussed so far (don't fact check that, just trust me). Dragonite is also known for its caring nature, as it commonly rescues drowning people and guides lost ships to safety. So before you even dare think about making fun of Dragonite's bulky physique, just remember: you're talking about the great "Sea Incarnate". So show some respect! There's much more to learn about Dragonite, so please take detailed notes!

148: Dragonair

148: Dragonair

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 148th lesson on Pokémon biology. This lesson is on Dragonair: the Dragon Pokémon and evolved form of Dratini. Dragonair has a ton of energy stored within its body, which it can discharge through the blue crystals on its neck and tail. And this energy can cause the weather to change! Because of this, many refer to Dragonair as a “divine Pokémon”. Also, it’s been said that if you see one at the start of a new year, you will be granted good health. Does that also work if it’s the middle of the year? Asking for a friend. There’s more to learn about Dragonair, so take good notes!

147: Dratini

147: Dratini

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 147th lesson on Pokémon biology. Today’s class is all about Dratini: the Dragon Pokémon. This rare, little noodle is constantly growing due to its excess life energy. As it grows, Dratini will shed its skin regularly. It typically hides behind waterfalls to protect itself during the shedding process. The shed skin is a very popular material used in shoemaking! Dratini skin shoes are quite expensive, so don’t wear them on a hike! Maybe a first date would be more appropriate. There’s more to learn about Dratini, so make sure you take good notes!

146: Moltres

146: Moltres

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 146th lesson on Pokémon biology. This lesson is all about Moltres: the Flame Pokémon and the third Legendary Bird of Kanto! Moltres has beautiful, dazzling wings that shed embers with every flap. It is known to bathe in hot magma to heal itself from injuries. If that’s not hardcore, I don’t know what is! It is believed by many that seeing Moltres is an indicator of an early spring. That sounds a bit less hardcore… but still awesome. And there’s so much more to learn about Moltres, including its Galarian form, so take good notes!

145: Zapdos

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 145th lesson on Pokémon biology. And today’s lesson, we are discussing Zapdos: the Electric Pokémon and the second Legendary Bird of Kanto! Zapdos brings the storm… literally. Its glittering wings have been reported to cause thunderstorms. As it flies, Zapdos’ wings will make crackling and snapping sounds as lightning bolts are released. Can you imagine riding a Zapdos? Rubber pants would be a necessity for sure! There’s more to learn about Zapdos, including its Galarian form, so take plenty of notes!

144: Articuno

144: Articuno

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 144th lesson on Pokémon biology. And for class today, we are discussing Articuno: the Freeze Pokémon. Also, this is our first class on a Legendary Pokémon (not to be confused with Arcanine)! Articuno is one of the three Legendary Birds of Kanto. It has the ability to control ice, which is helpful for flying since its seemingly translucent wings are made of ice. It's been reported that whenever Articuno flaps its wings, snow will fall. It has also been known to help travelers lost in dangerous, icy places. To be honest, you'd have to be pretty dumb to allow that to happen. Can you imagine? There's much more to learn about Articuno, including its Galarian form, so make sure you bundle up and take good notes!

143: Snorlax

143: Snorlax

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 143rd lesson on Pokémon biology. Today’s class is all about Snorlax: the Sleeping Pokémon. This massive Pokémon loves a good slumber! The only time Snorlax will willingly wake up is to eat! It requires approximately 900 lbs of food every day. And when you’re this fat, you don’t have room to be picky. Snorlax will eat anything. Its stomach allows it to consume expired food and apparently even Muk poison! Listen, just take our word for it. Please don't force your Snorlax to guzzle toxins. There’s much more to learn about Snorlax, including its Gigantamax evolution, so take good notes!

142: Aerodactyl

142: Aerodactyl

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 142nd lesson on Pokémon biology. And this lesson is all about Aerodactyl: the Fossil Pokémon. This vicious (rawr) Pokémon has saw-like fangs and loves to rip throats! Not one for kids' birthday parties, am I right? While Aerodactyl flies through the air, it lets out high-pitched screeches - alerting all in the area that their throats are in danger. As terrifying as Aerodactyl is, you likely won't see one... because they're extinct. It is commonly believed that a giant meteor killed them in prehistoric times. So your throats are safe... for now. There's more to learn about Aerodactyl, including its Mega Evolution, so take good notes!

141: Kabutops

141: Kabutops

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 141st lesson on Pokémon biology. Today's class is all about Kabutops: the Shellfish Pokémon and evolved form of Kabuto. Kabutops is most well known for its cool, sharp scythes, which it uses to slice its foes and drain their fluids. So appetizing. And any part of its prey Kabutops doesn't eat will be consumed by other Pokémon. The circle of life... beautiful! Kabutops is also a very fast swimmer, gliding through the water up to 29 knots! And there's way more to learn about Kabutops, so make sure you take good notes!

140: Kabuto

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 140th lesson on Pokémon biology. And this lesson today is all about Kabuto: the Shellfish Pokémon. Like our previously discussed fossil Pokémon, Kabuto used to thrive on the sea floor many years ago. However, they're not completely extinct - plot twist! There are rare cases of Kabuto living in the wild... but we don't know where. No one bothered to write that down. Kabuto is also so cool that it has gone unchanged for 300 million years. The perfect specimen. Never change, Kabuto! There's more to learn, so make sure you take detailed notes!

139: Omastar

139: Omastar

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 139th lesson on Pokémon biology. Today's lesson is all about Omastar: the Spiral Pokémon and evolved form of Omanyte. After extensive research, scientists believe that this fossil Pokémon went extinct because it got fat... yes, I'm serious. The increased weight of Omastar's shell resulted in a loss of mobility, which affected its ability to hunt. But when this fatty could grab a meal, it preferred Shellder! Omastar would use its tentacles to capture the Shellder, crush the shell with its sharp beak, and then suck out the body. Yummy. Sounds tasty, right!? There's more to learn about Omastar, so take plenty of notes!

138: Omanyte

138: Omanyte

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 138th lesson on Pokémon biology. And this lesson is all about Omanyte: the Spiral Pokémon. So technically, Omanyte is extinct. Where Omanyte once thrived in ancient oceans, they’re all fossils now. But with the help of modern science, we can excavate the fossils and revive them! Crazy, right? While it’s great that so many have been revived, some Omanyte have been released or escaped back into the wild, where they’ve started to cause problems. What are those problems? Beats me. Hopefully not gang wars with other water types. There’s more to learn about Omanyte, so take good notes!

137: Porygon

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 137th lesson on Pokémon biology. Today's lesson is all about Porygon: the Virtual Pokémon. Porygon is mankind's first artificially created Pokémon! Due to it being artificial, it does not need to eat or breathe... but it will crush a delicious poffin. Just so long as Mr. Kurtis didn't make it. Porygon has the ability to convert its body into digital data, which allows it to travel across cyberspace. And as a special surprise in today's lesson, we are pleased to welcome Portia the Porygon, our class editor! There's a lot to learn about Porygon, so make sure you take good notes!

136: Flareon

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 136th lesson on Pokémon biology. And in today's class, we are learning about the fire type Eeveelution, Flareon: the Flame Pokémon. Flareon has a flame sac (also called a pouch, chamber, bag, etc), where it heats inhaled air and spews it as flames over 3,000°F. To keep cool, Flareon fluffs out the fur on its collar. Honestly, it's the most adorable thing you'll ever see. Flareon is also known to roast berries until they're well done before eating them. What a classy Pokémon! There's more to learn about Flareon, so be sure to take good notes!

135: Jolteon

135: Jolteon

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 135th lesson on Pokémon biology. Today's lesson is all about Jolteon: the Lightning Pokémon. This evolved form of Eevee creates electricity with an organ in its lungs. No one bothered to name this organ apparently. Jolteon is capable of discharging 10,000-volt lightning bolts, which it is able to do by accumulating negative ions in the atmosphere. These ions in Jolteon's fur cause a sparking noise, which you can hear if you get close enough to one. But not too close! Not only will you get zapped, but the hairs on Jolteon's body are spiky, sharp needles that can stab you! You have been warned. There's more to learn about Jolteon, so take plenty of notes!

134: Vaporeon

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 134th lesson on Pokémon biology. And for today’s class, we will be discussing Vaporeon: the Bubble Jet Pokémon. Once originally thought to be a mermaid, Vaporeon is a beautiful creature with a cell structure similar to water molecules. Guess that really does make it a water type… HA! Because of its cell structure, Vaporeon has the ability to melt in water! So be sure to double check your water filters… wouldn’t want you to pour a cold glass of Vaporeon! There’s more to learn about Vaporeon, so make sure you take plenty of notes!
