When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought “oh I couldn’t POSSIBLY be autistic.” Because when I read “takes everything literally” I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like “I don’t take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!” And I just realized the other day that it didn’t actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.

Ok not to be really insufferable but I think the thing that’s often lost when people talk about the Pokédex is that it’s assumed it’s genuinely a tool for adults. Like the in game professors describe it as a “high tech encyclopaedia” and that’s taken at face value.

But in Japanese the word used is “図鑑” - “zukan”. This means “picture encyclopaedia”. But what the implication of this is is actually mostly stuff like this:

Like the type of thing you read in primary school! Those big illustrated books that give kids introduction to just simple concepts of biology, or zoology. Full of fun facts that may not be 100% accurate but sure are cool! Not necessarily a robust resource for adults.

I’m not saying “zukan” is never used to refer to something a bit more high level. A little search around and I did find zukans that seemed targeted at older people, but honestly I noticed some of these had negative reviews like “there’s no furigana in this! This is too hard for my kid!”. So that to me suggests the connotation is very much like. Kids encyclopaedia.

So my point is when the Pokédex says bonkers stuff like:

It’s more akin to children’s encyclopaedia publishing a “fun fact” that’s just like…could be theoretically true but only if you simplify a bunch of stuff.

Anyway my point is

a) the Pokédex is a resource specifically for grade-school age children

b) Professor Oak is one of those professors that at some point diverted most of his time into children’s science communication.

GAME CHANGER WEIRD SHIT

- zac, bdg, josh and kevin aren't credited in the episode description, but ash, nico, and kaylin are.

- the clown's name is roscoe, until it's no problem.

- trapp's prize is samuel dalton's watch.

- solzhenitzyn's nobel prize speech is about the endurance of art, the ache of the soul, the ineffability of the bigger picture - and reminds me of Sam's obsession with recursion, callbacks, and nesting doll structures.
