BEING A TANK. IS ALL ABOUT LOVE.

I am here for you

I will protect you with armor, shields, abilities

When they fail I will stand between you and danger

As long as you continue to fight I am with you

If you cannot carry on, I will carry you home

It will be my back that takes the bullets

And it will be my shield that leads you to battle

Fight Heal Do battle

Know that you are safe in my care

I realize it’s just because they’re trying to introduce the audience to the concept of Pokemon and everything but nothing will ever be funnier to me than prof oak being like “these are creatures called Pokemon, they live in all sorts of environments!” like imagine if you met a biology professor and they were like ‘I’ve been studying these intriguing creatures called “animals’

fair-itself

I maintain that Pokemon starts to make a lot more sense when you stop thinking of the Professors as biologists and start thinking of them as children’s science communicators, which, in a world where children as young as 10 are expected to make their way in a world populated by superpowered fauna almost entirely alone, stands as an important and laudable career. “There are 150 animals” becomes the in-universe equivalent of “There are three states of matter.” There’s too much information in this field to dump on a grade-schooler all at once, so Professor Oak is here to mete out animal facts as they become relevant in an easy-to-understand way.

That being said, I would love to see what kind of shit the real Pokemon biologists are on. I’m just imagining some disheveled, overcaffienated researcher writing a grant proposal for their study on why certain wingull seem to evolve into pelipper faster when they hatched in the winter or something. There’s bird shit on their glasses. They haven’t left the lighthouse in months. This is their life’s work. Ash Ketchum doesn’t need to know about real Pokémon biology.

let me be a Pokémon biologist pleeeeease

fun fact when somebody mentions unicorns or I read about them somewhere i never imagine those cute lil ponies or precious white graceful beasts.. I imagine huge monstrosity standing about 2,5 m at the shoulder.. and killing anything humanoid except virgins…

Like in that one czech fairy tale…Look at THAT

This lends credence to the “it was literally just a rhinoceros” theory

I mean… it’s not a “theory”, some of the earliest descriptions of unicorns literally say they have elephant feet and live in India.

Also the greater one-horned rhino is named Rhinoceros unicornis. It and the Javan Rhino (Rhinoceros sondaicus) rhinos in the genus Rhinoceros fit the unicorn description of being horsey (odd-toed ungulates) and having one horn.
