Hi! What do you do? Thanks for the follow - Jun @goldenmareep
My primary activity at the moment is forgetting to update on here 🤦♀️
I guess I would describe myself as trainer-turned-researcher, or maybe a steel-type specialist. I’m currently based in Wedgehurst, Galar, out of Professor Magnolia’s research laboratory.
I’ve recently finished a two-year field expedition in the Crown Tundra, studying how modern-day pokémon populations there differ from those elsewhere (it’s mostly, but not always, due to climate) - for example, the Aggron-line is widely extinct in Galar, but there are some very successful surviving populations in the CT.
Prior to that, I was a fairly successful professional trainer and spent some time as a gym leader in the Galar Major Division. I still battle occasionally, but haven’t participated in any tournaments since retiring.
I also volunteer at the Wedgehurst pokémon sanctuary, and have recently become involved with a non-profit de-extinction programme in Sinnoh focussing on the extinct Hisuian Goodra-line.
I have also applied for a research fellowship in Paldea that is taking place this winter, which I’m hoping to get. 🤞 😬
My interests are pretty varied, and I like to get involved wherever I can!
Feel free to contact me for a chat or with any questions (about me, my research/experiences, battling, steel-types, etc.) :)
