Professor Oak reciting a Pokémon senryū

Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture (Japanese: オーキド博士のポケモン講座 Doctor Okido's Pokémon Lecture) is a segment featured at the end of anime episodes in Japan during the original series and Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire. It was featured from EP061 to AG104, and it was succeeded by the Pokémon Trivia Quiz. Professor Oak's lectures returned at the beginning of Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl with Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia.

Generally, the lecture will start with Professor Oak using the reels of a slot machine to show the silhouette of a Pokémon. The display on his computer will switch to show the image of the Pokémon, surrounded by some general information. He will then show some clips of the Pokémon in the anime as he discusses it. After this, he will show a live example of the Pokémon in his laboratory. Frequently, he will (unintentionally) do something to upset the Pokémon which responds by attacking or hurt him shortly after. The lecture sometimes closes with Professor Oak reciting a Pokémon senryū. There are also some special lectures, such as those which will promote an upcoming movie or discuss one of the characters.

Pokémon senryū (Japanese: ポケモン川柳) are haiku-like poems about Pokémon or Pokémon-related themes. Composing them is a hobby of Professor Oak usually used to close his lectures in the anime. Senryū are generally light-hearted or humorous, and they consist of three lines with 17 or fewer morae. Unlike haiku, senryū do not require a kigo (season word). The art form was created in the Edo era of real-world Japan by Senryū Karai (柄井川柳, 1718-1790).

The segment has never been used in the English dub and those based on it, though footage from the segments has been used in other English releases. Footage from the lecture of Alakazam was used to introduce the VHS release of Mewtwo Strikes Back. Segments for Slowpoke, Starmie, and Marowak were dubbed for a promotional VHS tape called "Pokémon Insider: The Video." Footage from the lecture of Entei was used on a promotional CD-ROM released in the UK to promote Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. Footage has also been used in promos for Kids' WB!, such as Kids' WB! Top 20 Pokéthon Countdown 1999, and the footage of Oak pulling his computer's lever and the computer's display was also used in the Pikachu's Jukebox music video for "What Kind of Pokémon Are You?".

Trivia

  • A precursor to this segment, "Pokémon Valuable Information", aired alongside EP052 and EP053, covering M01.
  • This segment was digitally animated from the beginning, even though proper episodes switched to digital coloring only in EP261.
  • Between EP061 and AG090, all but five Generation I and II Pokémon are given a lecture. The five omitted are Kadabra, Mew, Mewtwo, Porygon, and Porygon2. Kadabra may have been omitted because of the issues with Uri Geller, Porygon and Porygon2 due to the EP038 incident, and Mew and Mewtwo due to their status as the most unknown legendary Pokémon in the anime.
  • The senryū for EP083 is a reference to the Japanese proverb jishin kaminari kaji oyaji.
