  • I can name the first 251(gen 1 and 2) by heart and 3 by sight and name, but not by number. It gets a little easier when you realize Gen2 is only 100 pokemon, the smallest Gen. Celebi is #251 and you can work backwards to Mew.

    Easy way to solve most gens if you have to fill out a blank sheet - The starters are always grass/fire/water in that order, so your first 9 are always solved. Then the 2 early game bugs(Butterfree and Beedrill/ledyba and spinarak) and HM rat (Rattata/sentret/zigzagoon)and then from there’s it’s wild west until the end. The pseudo-legendary evo of 3 are with the legendaries, and those come in a set of 3, followed by the 2 title characters plus their hidden legendary so that’s the back 9 solved for most gens. Gen 4 has more legendaries/pseudo legendaries so you get 12-15 for free on the back end.

    There’s some new ones I like but fuck there’s over 1000 now. I’m happy just knowing up to 386.


























  • Best and worst could go to Fritz Haber. You may not have heard of him unless you’re into agriculture, but he is a Prussian Chemist, born in 1868. He worked with Carl Bosch and created the Haber-Bosch process. This process allows you to synthesize ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen. Large amounts of fertilizer can be made from this quickly. He received the Nobel Prize for this in 1918. It is what allows us, even today, to mass grow crops. His work, without hyperbole, feeds billions today.

    However, his background in chemistry meant that in 1914, he was asked by his country to contribute to the war effort. After all, that’s what one does in war right? He devised heavier-than-air chlorine gas that would go on to be used to kill millions. He resigned from his field in 1939, but the nazis took his research and used it to form Zyklon B - the chemical used in gas chambers on Jews.

    He is one of the people whom we ask “does their good outweigh the bad?”
