are there any pokemon fans with a special interest in geology or tectonics out there? for nerd reasons, i need to know how Mt. Coronet formed, what its vague characteristics might be, and generally what this implies for the geography of Sinnoh as a whole. thank you!

I don’t know about you but I always felt like Wammys was the kind of institution to have such strict rules and precautions to prevent students from cheating that if anyone actually managed they’d be rewarded for it. Like if you go through the test with information hidden on you or in the classroom at your disposal, nobody catches you, and then you give proof that you did after the test is over, your stealthiness and strategy will be added to your score.

Like teachers would be like keeping the locations where tests will take place like it was a state secret and stuff. Meanwhile students of Wammys take daring to cheat as a test of courage that only idiots would take.

And since it’s the amongst the most difficult dare I imagined Mello challenging Near to do it together, to see who comes up with the better strategy. And since Near found the idea interesting he accepted, leading to the greatest betting circle of the Wammy’s house amongst the children and even more severe controls from teachers when voice spread out that the two brightest of the institution were going to try the impossible feat.

Dunnow if Matt would participate. Either he’d find more effortless to just study a bit last minute or he’s secretly a master of cheating who’s completely uninterested in explaining his tactics to teachers for extra points. I’m leaning towards the second one.

How would things play out?

What do you think? Thought it might be an interesting idea 😅

Yeah fun thought! Here's some counterquestions:

Realistically, this would reward kids to cheat and even encourage it, wouldn't it? Very unfair to the kids who actually try to play fair. Wouldn't gamifying cheating take the focus away from learning the actual stuff they're supposed to learn? Cause of course tricking the adults and proving their wits is fun and I feel like this would lead to a big portion of the kids putting more effort into scheming on how to cheat than to actually learn.

And revealing how the kids cheated would only tighten security measures, wouldn't it? I would think that every new method noted can't be used in future exams. How far would this spiral? Handcuffing the kids to their desk? Forcing them to wear blinders like horses? Putting them in solitary confinement for the duration of the test? Stripping them before taking the test?

At that point, you could question the whole common exam structure, develping new and hopefully healthier ways to test the competence of students without judging them by how well they perform in a high pressure scenario where they have to sit still for a couple hours, regurgitate facts and feel the pressure to cheat the system to be worth something if they fail. If the school is so open minded to reward students for cheating, they would use the open mindedness to invent tests where cheating doesn't even make sense.

Lemme know your thoughts!

this bad boy took me forever to make and was such a pain... but i'm glad i finished it. a flow chart to show the tectonic history! i basically named all the different major islands and continents (as seen in this video), and charted out how they split (when arrows come from a name) and collide (when arrows point to a name). red landforms exist in the "modern" period!
