made some GIFs of my favorite segments from the episode "Oak's Lab - All Members Gather". what a cute episode. These GIFs are all under 10MB, so they can be used for discord or probably most other sites that allow GIF support.

"with family and friends like mine, you don't need enemies." he has them, he just doesn't need them. he'd like them to be out of his life forever, in fact. his enemies, not his family and friends.

❝ Charizard has been observed to have two separate Mega Evolution forms, both with their own abilities and typings, as well as a Gigantamax form and unique signature move. With this in mind, do you think there's further transformation potential that we've yet to discover? And, follow up inquiry: Do you have any hypotheses on why species such as Charizard, Pikachu and Meowth seem to carry a greater susceptibility for transformational battle gimmicks and regional differences? ❞

" An excellent line of questioning, one I've been looking into myself! I've long since hypothesized that pokemon with multiple evolution lines - such as Eevee - are closer in their genetics to Mew. Now, I wouldn't fully equate transformative battle techniques and regional differences, though there is some overlap.

Regional differences truly seem to be more adaptational necessity than anything else. I have questions on whether the Galarian Meowth should truly be considered the same Pokemon as it's Kantonian and Alolan counterparts, but that's another discussion altogether.

Transformative battle differences is a slightly more interesting phenomenon. Mega-Evolution and Gigantamaxing. A very small, yet interesting cross section of pokemon are capable of both. Only 4, in fact. Charizard, Venusaur, Blastoise, and Gengar. Perhaps they have a greater susceptibility to radiation than other pokemon? The changes are distinct, and yet there are similarities to the processes. Both require a stone to activate, and a certain type of energy or particle to manifest the temporary change."

He shakes his head, grinning.

"Ah, I've rambled more than I've answered your question. I suppose the best answer I can give without involving Professor Magnolia and Professor Sycamore is that the susceptibility to regional variants appears to be a slow change to the pokemon over time, an adaptation to circumstances after a pokemon species has been introduced to a new environment, while a higher liklihood of being affected by temporary transformative phenomenon seems to be a way to capitalize on energies and radiation similar to that let off when a pokemon evolves, but in a way where the pokemon cannot maintain the transformation past when the radiation can be metabolized.

Does that make sense? Again, I would have to consult the literature a little more to give a sure answer, but from observation alone, that's what I would hypothesize."

Professor Samuel Oak is currently accepting pokemon related questions. Have at him.

he's writing another damned paper

#we can still support each other | interaction

thinking about oak and how it’s not that he’s straight it’s just he’s never thought ‘but what about trying again with someone not agatha’

He’s told plenty of lies in all his years. From earth-shattering revelations, coated in honeyed words and fed to the masses till they’d never think anything of it . . . to the smallest details, things so close to being right if one just squinted a little harder at them. Even with being caught out, it could be difficult to discern just which kind he’d told, bending reality as easily as he broke it.

Contrary to popular belief, though, Giovanni considers his words carefully in the moment. Staring in an unblinking gaze as he takes in the professor’s expression. Oak almost seems stunned, as if the very thought of his . . . friend? . . . being anything but had sent a jolt through his entire system. Widened eyes, as if still trying and failing to accept it, but barreling forward into accusations nonetheless.

A way to cope, then, and partially a way to still hold to hope that it’s all just a misunderstanding, honest! A misunderstanding of just how much any one man could ever mean to him, and how easily he can discard the trust they’ve built.

“Every man has his regrets. The fact that you found out in this way . . . ” he takes a bold step forward, sweeping in a wide motion until his hand comes to rest on Oak’s shoulder. His eyes have still never left his companion, not even for a second, and they betray nothing.

“I must say it’s one of mine.”

There's a part of him - an awful, wistful part - that wants to believe Giovanni even after everything. But he can't. It would be a betrayal to himself and his family if he did. Friendships built on a lie weren't real, and he couldn't afford to live in some fantasy world. He had children to look after, and a town that had come to respect him.

The hand on his shoulder is brushed away less than a second after it lands, the professor stepping back to regain the distance between them. He's drawing a line in the sand. Knowledge he never should have had lingers between them, and it isn't something he can push aside; but it also isn't something he can act on. He can bring questioning eyes to Giovanni, perhaps, but in the end the man he thought was his friend had a reputation of his own that held just as much weight.

"How would you have preferred I found out? What way would make any of this go over better?" It's a controlled anger, something Samuel hasn't felt in a long time. "I don't want to see you in Pallet Town ever again."

Oak stares at Giovanni, something stubborn and unwavering in his posture.

"Do you understand?"
