Greetings~ This is my first time using Rotomblr, so I apologize if this is a bit long winded. Unsure if there are unspoken rules I’m not catching onto.
My name is Professor Snakewood. I’m from Kalos (Dahara City, to be exact.) and I’ve just recently been rewarded the necessary grants to really get my research off the ground.
I specialize in the study of rare Pokémon, and Pokémon with rare abilities. I’ve decided it may be interesting to answer questions on the internet pertaining to my work, and maybe even meet other Professors as well.
Anyone may interact, knowledge does not discriminate. Thank you for your time. 🖤

Professor Snakewood, also formerly known as Ibrahim, or to his friends ‘Bibi’ is was a highly celebrated up and coming young Professor from the Kalos region. He is was inquisitive, and will would often answer sarcastic questions at face value.
There are rumors that he has been going through highly questionable channels to receive his research grants and the Pokémon necessary for said research, but so far there has been no solid evidence of it.
His thirst for a human evolution, and meddling with self inflicting the power of a Chosen on himself behind the scenes has led to hundreds of deaths. Ultimately, it seems to have finally taken his own as well.
Through mysterious circumstances, Professor Snakewood has returned to the land of the living, claiming to be ‘The Bridge’ between this world and The Distortion. Aside from that, he seems… Suspiciously back to ‘normal.’
Normal for an amoral scientist, anyhow.
Themes of Pokémon experimentation, Pokémon abuse, organized crime, and medical topics will be relevant on the blog.
Please don’t send me asks that are even vaguely suggestive.
It's nice seeing professors on Rotomblr. Your post about doing menial work reminds me of what I do at my lab! I work at a materials science lab adjoined biology lab in Unova, I won't say which one, but it likely immediately came to mind. If so... please do not inform the head staff that I'm a Pokémon! I'm secretly behind most of the menial tasks for the teams under one of the professors in the materials division.
You might have heard about the Audino situation in Unova. Eggs produced by Audino in Unova have become increasingly fragile and nonviable. I performed most of the experiments and was the editor for the paper on a possible remineralization technique! I've also helped with some of the follow-ups.
That technique hasn't been used yet, but I'm hopeful it will be in the future. It would be nice to think that my efforts are put to work healing Pokémon (and people). What sort of techniques or discoveries have your teams made?

P.S. Your Rattata are very cute!
Greetings.
I’m glad my little post was relatable to someone, at least. Haha.
It is incredible that you’ve managed to find, and maintain such a job as a Pokémon. Especially without your c. Co workers noticing. I assume you have specialized working conditions.
It is rare I even see Pokémon with sentience enough to adeptly communicate. Much less have a job.
I have heard of the Audino population’s ongoing struggles leading to their increasing rarity. I do wish I could work on a more interesting project like that for a change. But as of now, most of the projects we are sent happen to be the jobs that the mainland Kalosian Labs find themselves too good for.
Currently I am attempting to pinpoint a treatment for Sunflora suffering from ‘Solar Exhaustion’ due to the ability Solar Power. It is a painful condition that leads to chronic fatigue in the Pokémon. Hence why I am comparing cell cultures at the moment.
Apologies for any spelling errors. I have a condition that causes my hand to momentarily ‘phase’ through my phone at times.
My Ratatta thank you for the compliment. Or I assume they do by the happy squeaks.
Once again I am categorizing samples. Me. A man of incomprehensible intellectual capacity. I am relegated to dying Sunflora cells in correlation to their ability.
Oh! Ah.. I'd wager a guess at Chlorophyll judging by the presence of enlarged Chloroplasts, clearly adapted for taking in excess energy from sunlight. And it doesn't have any of the telltale signs of sun fatigue that often comes with Solar Power!

...Could you reblog this post if you are someone who accepts asks about Pokémon care, behavior, and biology? It would be nice to know where to send people who are looking for information on those things.
This report has been supplemented with statistics, observations, and information from one Professor Alexander DuPin.
‘Twinkle’ has changed in form. Instead of the ‘Eevee’ I wished for (Exact verbiage, ‘I wish there was an Eevee here.’) the subject is now an exact, perfect copy of my Partner Pokémon, Umber.
Some information about Umber. As you may be able to deduce, he is an Umbreon. He is old, nearly as old as I am, and no longer fit to battle in his advanced age. He has grey furs around his muzzle. His frontal ring is misplaced, and circles his left eye as opposed to sitting neatly on his forehead. He loves chin scratches, and his favorite food is imported Salmini bites from Altera.
Prior to the recent ‘incident’ involving the disruption of the ‘Wishmade Sky,’ which made the formerly begin phenomenon a threat, the Eevee ‘Twinkle’ was its own entity.
Twinkle was a young Eevee of approximately 2 years old. He was able to battle perfectly fine, and even seemed enthusiastic about it. His markings were average, with no sign of any kind of distinction from the average specimen. He pointedly did not enjoy being touched on the chin, and seemed to enjoy Pecha berries more than anything else.
On the morning of June 10th, 2025, it became apparent to me that ‘Twinkle’ no longer existed.
The Eevee was theoretically, still in its provided habitat. However, when approached, it became apparent that ‘Twinkle’ had been replaced with a perfect copy of my Umbreon. Stranger still, I seemed to completely believe this was Umber. I even freed him from his habitat. This, of course, became an issue when I returned to the main body of the lab, and saw the real Umber sitting in his bed.
Curiouser still, I could still, for some reason, not tell which Umber was the real one. This is all despite it being abundantly clear in hindsight.
This launched me into a bit of a panic, I’m embarrassed to say. The idea of losing Umber, and the guilt of somehow mixing him up with an imitation was horrific. Even thinking back on it now is panic inducing.
I gathered myself best I could, and contacted a colleague to come and help me by preforming non-invasive tests to find out which Pokémon was the real Umber. When Professor LePin arrived, however, he could immediately tell which Umber was the imposter. Apparently to everyone but myself, ‘Twinkle’ still has a characteristic shine to its pelt.
Tests were preformed just to be sure, however, every test done only proved that the two Umbreon were completely identical in every way. I had no choice but to take Professor LePin’s word, and allow him to continue with the testing of ‘Twinkle.’
I could not bring myself to do invasive testing on a creature with the face and nature of my partner Pokémon.
[The report is all uninteresting data from this point on…. If you bother to read it, you can tell the copy is biologically the same as a regular Umbreon...]
