  • The Rat Race
    On this episode, Veteran Lucas and Fisherman Don take a look at the rodents that make up the Pokemon world. Sometimes seen as pests, these animals are some of nature's greatest survivors and they made their way into the games with some of their tricks. How have rats survived for so long. Does Patrat suck? Is Bidoof a god you should fear and respect(yes)? We hope you enjoy our look at these tiny, unstoppable creatures.

  • The Ugly Ducklet
    On this episode of The Science of Pokemon, we take to the skies and go back to where it all began for us. We have talked about flight, but we wanted to go deeper into the science of birds, one of the most dominant animals on the planet and ones we take for granted. Where did birds get all their adaptations for flight? Are pigeons smarter than we think? Does Murkrow get a bad rap? Let's take the leap and learn more about our underappreciated, feathered friends.

  • Year Of The Emboar
    On this episode of The Science of Pokemon, with Gen 8 on the way the whole crew is hyped up and ready to tackle it. Professor Collins has some theories as to what our new fire starter would be, but to explain it we had to go back to every fire starter and discuss where they each came from. Why are salamanders tied closely to fire? How has one Chinese story impacted the world? How terrible is Veteran Lucas's English accent? Let's fire up the hype train and learn about the types that literally started our journeys!

  • Reef Madness
    On this episode of The Science of Pokemon, Don and Lucas drag Professor Collins into the ocean one more time (for now), to explore the beauty of the Coral Reef. Coral plays a vital part in our ecosystem, and Pokemon has had several creatures in their games that both benefit and destroy coral reefs. How does Corsola compare real coral? What impact do we have on coral reefs? Why are white sandy beaches kinda gross? Join us as we go to the heart of the sea to learn what we can about this ocean community

  • In Defense of Luvdisc
    On this episode of the Science of Pokemon, we dive back into the deep blue sea, but this time we brought a friend. Join us in welcoming Fisherman Don, the latest member of our team! In honor of his joining us, we decided to pick up where we left off and talk about some of the fish Pokemon we forget exist, or just don't like. How do real world fish generate electricity? Why is Stunfisk so terrifying? Is the Sun Fish as useless as people think? Lets grab our bait and tackle and get hooked on some more science.
