Hi guys. It's me Sliggoorific again. Anyway, I just wanted to come here to talk about this fun new idea I had that I would like to call "Pokemon in The Classroom". Before I tell you guys what it is and what i plan to do with it... I want to tell you the story about how i came up with this.
Onse upon a time... (this actually happened like last week because i just started school on Tuesday but I am doing this for dramattic effect.)
Anyway, so yeah, I am in an Honors Geometry class with my teacher Mr. Scallon. And believe me when i say this: GOD was it boring. That guy really knows how to make a math class feel like a snooze party.. if those even exist. So it got me thinking... how can I come up with a better way to teach? can i be a better teacher than my actual teacher and keep students enjaged and learning? And luckly for you and me, I think Ive found the solution.
INTRODUCING... POKEMON IN THE CLASSROOM
Pokemon in The Classroom will be the new way to teach students about all sorts of academic concepts. It works like this: instead of teaching about boring stuff that make students fall asleep while learning, we will be teaching this nation's youth about everything they need to know through Pokemon. Why does this work? Well, what's the one thing kids love? Pokemon. Thats right. Pokemon is a super sucessful franchise with many fans and it sells a lot of games and stuffed animals and excetera. So, if we teach kids using pokemon they will be able to learn faster and more quickly than ever before, and this is good,. Still dont get it? Dont worry. I will provide examples of what i mean.
EXAMPLES:
1.
Find the volume of this Voltorb if its height is 20 inches.
Answer: 4188.79 cubic inches
As you can see, using a Voltorb instead of a sphere makes this problem a lot easier to figure out because you know what a Voltorb is. A sphere is harder to do math on because you cant just like imagine a sphere. It's really hard to do that. but you can imagine a Pokemon. So using Voltorb as a replacment would make it a lot easier for children in the classroom to learn.
2.
Find the linear equation that defines the highlighted edge of Duraludon.
Answer: y=-3x+6
Again, using Pokemon makes algebra very easy. Many kids can understand how straight a Duraludon is. Therefour, they will be able to use Duraludon as a refrence for what a linear equation is: a very straight line. Simply saying "linear equation" to kids is not very smart because kids will get confused because they've never heard of the word "linear" before. On the other hand, using Duraludon is better. Duraludon is a Pokemon that many kids will recognize and be able to apply to math, making math a lot easier.

If it is morning, and you are playing Pokemon Crystal, and you are looking for a female Phanpy on Johto Route 45, what are the chances you'll find one at any given encounter?
Answer:
Everyone knows that Phanpy has a 5% chance to be found on Route 45 in Pokemon Crystal in the morning. Even if a student did not know this, they could very easily find this information on Bulbapedia. Everyone should also know that Phanpy has a 50% chance to be female. Using these two concepts, one can very easily come to the conclusion that 5% times 50% is 2.5%, using a calculator. For kids who already are very knowledgeable about Pokemon, they will be able to do this math very very quickly. Eliminating the need to think very hard about numbers which can be very abstract. Like I mentioned in the beginning, the point of this is to relate to kids and put numbers into terms they understand, even when the math is complex. Also Phanpy is a good Pokemon so I bet a lot of kids would be very enjaged if they saw this on their test.
4.
If I have 30 individual Exeggcute eggs in my party, how many Exeggcutes are in my party?
Answer: 5 Exeggcutes
So, this is a very simple algrebra problem. All you have to do is solve for 6x = 30, because there is 6 eggs in each Exeggcute. However, just because this is simple math does not mean that this Pokemon in The Classroom idea is a simple idea. This just proves that Pokemon in The Classroom can be extended to all grades. Not only will this idea be very suitible for High School, but it will also be very usefull for kids in Middle School or even Elementary School! Since Pokemon is such a big series, there is no doubt in my mind that replacing the current education system with this would greatly improve the smartness of our youth. From quantum psychics to multication tables, Pokemon is a fun and easy way to learn.
CONCLUSION:
Pokemon in The Classroom is what I think is the future of education. I havent even mentioned how this will only make Pokemon more popular! This means that more people will play Pokemon which will make it easier for kids to Wonder Trade and Surprise Trade for Pokemon who are version exclusive. This is just one of the many added bonuses to Pokemon in The Classroom. Since some kids today don't have friends who have Pokemon games, they canot easily trade for Pokemon they need. With Pokemon in The Classroom, everyone will have Pokemon games. But overall, Pokemon in The Classroom is a good program that we should be setting up in our school's circulum. Without it, we may be stuck trying to learn math using really abstract concepts that many of us don't understand. How come there are millions of celebrities who do stupid stuff like sing like Miley Cyrus? It's not fair! How come the only famous smart person is Albert Einstein? Do you know why?!? It's because he's the only smart guy. He's the only guy who understands math enough to be famous for it. However, with Pokemon in The Classroom, everyone will be smart just like him. They will learn math through Pokemon at an alarming rate. and that's good.
Please let me know if you agree with the ideas i have persented here.
