Pokecology is getting an official English release on April 21st, here's some of the pages in English
>sada/turonot anymore LMAO
>>58750014And we’ll still have retards saying the entries are written by the protagonists
>>58750014Are those tiny dead dududududunsparce on the tray under experimentation???
>>58750014don't need the other pages, you already covered the best pokemon
>>58750039yes lol
>>58750039Good
>its all pokedex descriptions Very lame
>>58750028>A Pokédex is a compendium of data that has been compiled by observing or catching PokémonThe text is confirming the protagonists are part of it...
>>58750091>wakens (in the morelull passage)that's... not a word
>>58750028It's either that or accepting that professors and scientists are retard enough to say Magcargo's temperature is 18,000 degrees F lmao
>>58750017In an alternate timeline they are still alive shut up
>>58750416The page literally shows them measuring a Pokemon's temperature
>>58750028>>58750388>>58750416Laventon wrote the Legends Arceus entries based on thorough observations and specific situational tests by the player. So until proven otherwise, that's what I assume all professors do
>>58750190>canon fact ms about Pokemon in a book about canon facts about PokemonWowser
>>58750388It's pretty clear that at least in the modern games, the Pokedex entries are already pre-written and catching the Pokemon just unlocks them for the player/protagonist.The protagonist isn't part of the research process, the Pokedex is just a tool for them.
>>58750450It's time to accept these retard professors either can't read numbers, can't measure temperatures or Magcargo is hotter than the fucking sun and our planet is doomed.Choose your pill dudes..
>>58750190The fact that it’s the same reused ones from DP/BW is what’s extra lame. At least SM/USUM (and SWSH to a lesser extent) bothered to give us some new lore on existing Pokemon, like their predator/prey relationships, or how different cultures viewed them.
>>58750477>It's pretty clearIt's not.
>>58750483there’s no such thing as predator or prey’s in the world of pokemon. They all eat berries.
>>58750489lol...
>>58750497See >>58750091
>>58750506the page depicting predator and prey, yes?
>>58750388>”within it, you’ll find the results of all kinds of research and surveys.”I would blame you retards that keep spouting the “pokedex entries are written by 10 year olds” for lacking reading comprehension, but they even put pictures illustrating examples of how they do said research so the issue is much deeper.
Oak has a lab and studies pokemon there, elm studies pokemon eggs or whatever, kikui's whole research thing was letting pokemon hit him with their attacks to study them, there's obviously way more going on than just a 10 year old writing pokedex entries
>>58750407https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/waken
>>58750506>image that talks about duskull eating children
>>58750532>”within it, you’ll find the results of all kinds of research and surveys.”Dude.. you replied yourself, ALL KINDS. And who is doing the catching? Not Oak, that's for sure lmaoInstead of believing some fanfic book that copypastes dex entries I think people should play the games. The Professors task the protagonists with observing and catching, not these made up scientists from the fanfic book. Legends Arceus is the best proof.
>>58750629>fanficThat's now how that works
>>58750596*draining their life force
>trainers do the catching>professors do controlled environment research, occasionally ask trainers to do natural environment or in-battle observations>from this data, the professors write the pokedex entrieswhat about this is so hard to understand?
>>58750732Indeed, it's not that hard. As long as you decide to believe everything written in those dex entries is true.Because everything is true, right.. dudes?
>>58750014>this INTELLIGENT pokemonPikachu is confirmed fuckable because it can consent.
>>58750416>18,000 degrees Fwhy do retards think it's impossible? the sun literally has millions degrees
>>58750078>Kanto Farfetch'd getting Leekshamed Poor bird.
>>58750028If the research and surveys already exist, why is it necessary for the mc to catch Pokemon at all? Even the anime realized that didn't make sense.
>>58750014What the fuck, tiny Dudunsparce?
>>58750982Are you retarded? It's a drawing
>>58750951>If the research and surveys already exist,In Gen 1, they didn't, but this was retconned
>>58750416They're canonically retard enough to accept Cara Liss's bullshit claims about her godless suffering hybrids that these were genuine living creatures in the past, so yeah.
>>58750883Nobody said that temperature was impossible lolI know it might be hard for you, but think a bit about what would happen if you got close to something that is 18,000 degrees F..
>>58751009>In Gen 1, they didn'tDidn't they? What the fuck was Oak doing in his decades long career?
>forever debunks the validity of Pokemon researchers worldwide and makes the Pokedex a fanfic drivel machine for all eternity
>>58751024Nothing? It really deprends on how much mass has this temperature, but if a single atom was as hot at it would touch you then you wouldn't feel anything.
>>58751027>one scientist lied>all science is now compromised
>>58751034Yes, because these abominations were legitimized as Pokemon and her claims were taken as gospel enough to be put into the Pokedex on a worldwide scale (HOME), rather than being arrested for her crimes against God and her bastard children euthanized to put them out of their misery.
>>58750951You may as well ask why any protag after Red has to catch Pikachu for the dex if it was already registered by him.
>>58750014Inject Dudunsparce with the Popplio femboy syrum.
>>58750039I assume it’s just an image comparing the two forms
>>58751467easily explainable by needing to see if being in a different region creates new discoveries in wild groups of already documented species; which did wind up being the case for Pikachu in Alola
>>58751025Jacking off, which is why no one found out Pokemon evolved through friendship (everyone was just an asshole, I guess, so no Crobat) or that there were Pokemon who only appeared at night until after Red became champion (so no one knew Murkrow and Houndour were chilling in Kanto this entire time until that progression of time between Red's journey and the start of Gold's journey).
>>58750596It says it eats their "vital energy/life-force"Which is up for interpretation, it could be anything like chi or the kid's straight-up soul
>>58751034This place is super autistic, and everything has to be some all-or-nothing situation.Pokemon is, or was, presented as a new burgeoning field of research where society is still learning new things about pokemon each and every day. Of course things are gonna be inconsisten, or even rely on folklore or hearsay
>>58750014>>58750078>>58750091>>58750101is the entire book just recycled pokedex entries?
>>58750014thats my birthday
>>58752005Yes
>>58750017I like that you pointed them out and not laventon, who is almost certainly dead in the present
>>58750457If it added new stuff than people would scream about how it's not canon and fanfictionAt least the art is cute. I like things written like in-universe textbooks.
>>58750101The inclusion of fossil Pokemon in this implies that they're living in the wild.
>>58752509The line up is also weird, the order seems to be chronological but Laventon is from pokemon's equivalent of the 19th century so he would be the first in line
>>58750014Sada/Turo look so fucking stupid next to the othersGlad it's getting an english release though. This is the autistic shit I want to see
>>58750078Why are Galarians longer and thicker than Kantonians?
>>58750028>the entries are written by the protagoniststhey are, makes the most logical sense>uhhh actually it's the professor saying that kadabra is a child that woke up as it one daya lot of entries sound like just urban legends/rumors that the young trainers heard around and wrote in after catching it not the work an actual professor conducting proper research on a species
>>58752517Yeah it's chronologicalFor when the games released
>>58752549*bitch slaps you with my cock*
>>58750101>Magcargo>Water is vaporized on contactWhy the fuck didnt they give it an ability that makes it immune to Water-type moves?
>>58752530>>uhhh actually it's the professor saying that kadabra is a child that woke up as it one dayThat's supposed to be a reference to Kafka's Metamorphosis, the original full entry was that Kadabra was popular among literary buffs because of a famous short story in-universe It was in pic related, which was one of the first official Pokemon material released and contained a lot of the full gen 1 entries that obviously couldn't fit on a game boy screen
>>58752512>people would scream about how it's not canon and fanfictionzoomers are so fucked>inb4 seething typedos
>>58752586>zoomersMillennials
>>58752512The entire Poketard community had no problem treating stolen scraps written by a random intern as canon, why would they bitch about official released material that actually builds the Pokémon world? >>58752586Calm down, faggot. “Typedos” only “seethe” when failed abortions use scraps written by a retarded pedophilic intern to start hate campaigns
>>58752005Who made the book? If it wasn’t by game freak (this book actually looks good so it doubt game feel made it) then whoever made it was probably under strict limits on what they could write
>>58752512>>58752586case in point lmao >>58752617
>>58752512>>58752617Case in point, lmao >>58752652
>>58752652>>58752673>typedo mindbroken forever >skibidigatr also mindbroken foreverfeel good being a meganuiumchad, fan of the one and only canon jotho starter.
>>58750014Kukui does so much in Gen 7 that I forget he's primarily a professor. No wonder he got married.
>>58752516They’ve escaped into the wild in crown tundra, so Galar is 2 for 2 in fossil related crimes against nature.
>>58750014I find it incredibly odd that they officially consider Sada/Turo the professor of Paldea and not Jacq. He is the guy responsible for everything pokedex related in the game.
>>58750486Its very obvious in SV that's the case, as it has no information to give to the player on the paradox mon, and has to find what it can
>>58750028Are you blind? It's a "compendium of data compiled from observing/catching Pokemon". That means the protagonists can also contribute.If anything, this proves a Pokedex is just Wikipedia, which means any moron can write down an entry, even if it sounds like bullshit. And few are actually going to try and disprove it, so it's taken as truth.
>>58752925Jacq is just a teacher. Sada and Turo are the only ones with a professor title. Also, they studied the generational gimmick like most profs do.
>>58750388no shit, what do you think the professor handing you one at the start of a playthrough is for
>>58752516>what is breeding and releasing
>>58750883Amerinigger education and their obsession about using objecively wrong and turdworld-tier measuring systems all the fucking time
It's staggering how legitimately stupid some people are that they couldn't understand the encyclopaedia presented and treated as a scientific journal of record of the study of the presented creatures WASN'T similarly written by established, educated experienced adult professors, despite even the ANIME stressing that particular nugget of info with an entire episode centred around the latest in a long line of professors stated to have worked writing pokédex entries.
>>58750014>aprilat this point they should've waited for gen10 to release and sell it during christmas
>>58750552Rowan also specifically studies evolution.
>>58752925He's the professor stand in, but he's not actually a professor, that would be Sada and Turo
>>58750014>brown scientist
>>58753146>Also, they studied the generational gimmick like most profs do.I miss when professors specialized in something other than the new meme they push...
>>58753568It's been like that since gen 2 my dude.
>>58753580not rowan and juniper
>>58753585Rowan studied evolution to shill the cross-gen evosJuniper studied the origins of Pokémon to shill Gen 5 being a reboot
>>58753568They always specialized in something very relevant to the current gameElm - breeding (Literally the big new thing at the time of Gen 2, on top of baby Pokemon)Birch - habitats (Gen 3 gives more of a focus on the locations Pokemon show up in, however FRLG's dex is actually the one that list Pokemon via their habitats)Rowan - evolution (new evolutions for older Pokemon)Juniper - origins of Pokemon (like >>58753606 this anon said, Gen 5 was originally planned as a reboot)Sycamore - mega evolution (Obviously because of the new gimmick, but Sycamore also says he used to study under Rowan)Kukui - moves (z-moves)Magnolia - dynamaxSada and Turo - terastallizationOak is the only one that doesn't seem to specialize in anything, he's just an in general Pokemon Professor, and seems to be the most successful one, but he was also the first we were introduced to, so a given
>>58753695Didn't Oak also specialise in evolution for the sake of shilling that as a feature?
>>58753765If he does, I don't remember, I wouldn't be surprised if Oak does a mix of things, just because muh Kanto has to be the best tbqh
>>58753695>“Unraveling the mysteries of Pokemon would unravel the mystery of the evolution of life itself, and by extension, might even result in us discovering the origins of humanity. This is the primary reason why I’ve devoted myself to Pokemonology.”
