>It is said that Pocket Monsters (colloquially shortened to Pokémon) first appeared some 2 million years ago. The first systematic study of Pokémon was undertaken in the late 18th century by a French author, Baron Tajirin. At the time, only 30 species had been discovered. Nevertheless the detailed data and sketches left by Baron Tajirin became the foundations for study thereafter. From France, research into Pokémon spread throughout western Europe to include England, Germany, Spain, and Italy. In line with the incredible progress of transportation technology, the academic movement found a home in Japan at the end of the 19th century. Professor Nishinomori is said to be the father of Pokémon studies in our country. In 1899, he published the paper “An Observation on the Evolution of Pikachu.” It described how two Pokémon– which had been thought to be 2 entirely different creatures– were actually the same. One was simply the evolved form. As a result of this breakthrough, Pokémon research entered a new phase of discovery, earning Prof. Nishinomori worldwide recognition. Because of his paper, Japan came to be known as a leader in the study of Pokémon. Incidentally, 80 Pokémon species had been discovered by then. As of 1996, thanks to the investigative and research efforts of Prof. Oak, 150 species of Pokémon have been discovered. We are gradually gaining insights into their behavior, lifecycle, evolution, nature and so on. This guidebook examines the presently discovered 150 species of Pokémon by their habitats such as grasslands, mountains, and near bodies of water. The descriptive text for each Pokémon includes only facts known to date. It must also be noted that not all species of Pokémon have been discovered. We intend to continue with our research with the intention of publishing updated guides when new Pokémon are found.

I expect all of you gathered here must have a strong interest in the creatures known as Pokemon, and some of you might even have some of your very own. I’ve bred many specimens in my laboratory for research… ...and I’ve also got a Pikachu living with me who plays a big part in my day-to-day life! When I’m really focused on my research, sometimes I forget to pay my electric bill and the power gets cut off — at which point Pikachu’s electric discharge abilities are truly invaluable!
HEHEHE...ahem…
“Well, leaving that aside for the time being, allow me to start off by telling you how I became involved with Pokemon.”
“Before joining this field of study, I was researching simple biology. ‘How have living things evolved? Where did humans come from?’ Biology has unraveled the answers to these questions via the theory of evolution. … … … You there, what was that? … … Ah, ‘If the theory of evolution holds true, then everything must be determined by Darwin’s Law of Natural Selection?’ … … ... Well, you certainly know a lot for someone so young. I used to believe that too actually.”
“However, when you study the process of evolution, it becomes clear how different strains of life have evolved divergently — which makes the mysteries of new life emerging even more mysterious…. In my opinion, nothing exemplifies this more than Pokemon.”
“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.”

“Now the field of Pokemonology is older than you might expect, a continuation of the studies of countless past researchers who held the same grand academic pursuits as we do in the present. However, I’m proud to say our institute is the first in the world to classify all 150 Pokemon identified thus far by species, ecology, preferences, and evolution!! … ahem.”
“There are lots of people in this word who think of Pokemon as simple pets, or fearsome beasts, but these perspectives hold great misunderstandings. First of all, Pokemon aren’t a single genus called ‘Pokemon.’ And I want everyone to remember that! So then, what are they? They’re all Pokemon... but not. … … Ah, young lady, you just laughed at that. So allow me to explain. Pokemon are all connected, but they’re not all the same. What I mean is, Pokemon aren’t all one species in a single genus. Pokemon is a general term for a wide variety of inexplicable creatures that have evolved divergently.”
“However, while Pokemon are split into a few different genera, they do share some common characteristics. A prime example is their ability to be stored in capsules…. While SOME Pokemon demonstrate extreme violence when active... when they become physically weakened... hypnotized... etc, Lets instead put the emphasis on ‘some’ and sort of gloss over ‘extreme violence’ as if its just another part of the sentence, more contemplative. Then lets also linger on the end of weakened and hypnotized.
“Physically weakened… hypnotized… etcetera.” As if trying to think of the next word while still saying the previous… eventually just saying ‘etcetera’ after not being able to think of another example. their brutal nature recedes, and they can be forced into a small capsule — and I’ve brought one here to show you — known as a Poke Ball.”

“It was in 1925 that the father of Pokemonology in our country, Professor Nishinomori, experimented with extracting the angry energy from a Primeape. However, at this point in time the then-retired professor’s years had caught up with him, and he made a mistake in dosage when administering drugs, which weakened his precious Primeape. Doing so must have triggered the Primeape’s survival instincts, as it fit itself snugly inside the Professor’s glasses case, curled up like a fetus. Various methods of capturing Pokemon were best experimented with around this same time, ...so this Primeape incident encouraged further research on capture capsules.”
“And after many revisions, these capsules became the easy-to-use and high capture-rate ‘Poke Balls’ you can find in modern-day shops.”
“Pokemon live side-by-side with humans in the modern era. It sure is nice having Pokemon as pets instead of cats or dogs. It’s also nice having a Pikachu to power my house. (haha) Pokemon have other practical applications as well, like how Ivysaur’s Cut ability is often used in forest development! It’s these unique abilities that make Pokemon different from ordinary animals. A wide variety of these sorts of abilities exist, some of which are learned naturally, while others are learned from technical machines developed by researchers.”
“...But how exactly did Pokemon come to possess these unique abilities? ...unfortunately, this is something our research has yet to uncover… ...But I do dare say... that at some point in their 2 million years of existence... in order to coexist along-side humans... they gained the power to store these abilities in their cells and DNA….”
“...Thank you.”
