WithPokemonbeing the highest-grossing media franchise in the world, it’s unsurprising that it can be found everywhere, even schools. The franchise is only getting larger withPokemon Brilliant DiamondandShining Pearlarriving in under two weeks. Pokemon trading cards have also experienced a revival of sorts during the pandemic with scalpers buying off large amounts of cards to sell them at higher prices. Theprice of olderPokemoncards has also gone upwith more value slowly starting to be placed on the franchise overall.

To this day, thePokemonin Generation 1 still remain as some of the most popular in the franchise and that includes that starter Pokemon. Although competing with Charmander and Squirtle, Bulbasaur has proven to be a fan favorite over the years. As such, one middle school teacher has taken to Reddit to share the Generation 1 Pokemon resin figures that they made for their students.

PeekatmePikachu, a user on Reddit that teaches aPokemonelective at their school, has shown off 100 mini green Bulbasaur resin figures that they plan to give away to their students for the year. The Redditor primarily teaches math which they also bring into theirPokemonelective class. The elective teaches students how to playPokemon, how they can build their decks, and the “mathematics” behind the game. PeekatmePikachu further elaborated stating that the students look at the odds of drawing cards, as well as the ratio of Pokemon cards, Trainer cards, and Energy cards so the deck is well balanced and more.

It’s an interesting middle school elective that uses somethingas popular asPokemonto help learn mathematics. Luckily the students will also be receiving some very cool miniature resin figures that they can take home and put on display.

AlthoughPokemonis being taught at this middle school and potentially others, the idea of having this franchise show up in school wasn’t always well-received asPokemoncards and games were initially banned in many schools. Parents and teachers initially sawPokemonmerchandise as a distraction so it’s nice to see that this teacher and the school as a whole is allowing kids to learn something like math through Pokemon cards. It’s a smart way to engage with students while also teaching them something new.

Additionally, it was nice of the teacher to take time out of their day to create something for their students.Pokemon, being the most popular media franchise in the world, has seen many people create fan-made content such as the recentLavender Town Halloween animated short. It’s a franchise that shows no signs of slowing down as well with new games and cards continuously coming out.
