The Pokémon Company has announced, via Twitter, that you will soon be able to get a degree in Pokémon Mastery. Starting fall 2013, Pokémon courses will be offered in colleges and universities across the world. Students pursuing a degree in Pokémon Mastery will need to complete a number of courses, including the ones in the course schedule above: Human and Pokémon Dynamics, Pokémon Habitats by Region, Theory and Ethics of Pokémon Evolution, Pokémon Abilities and Development, and Pokémon Origins and History.

Ehm… What?
Check the date.
APRIL FOOLS
WTF I seriously just had a dream about this last night…. O____O
unless your’e a kid, if you believed this i feel very sorry for you. seriously?! you can now major as a pokemon master in universities?!.. and i’m president barack obama here.
Go to hell
Actually, its not too far off. And your very dull to think this is preposterous. You can take classes for skyrim in some colleges.
Robin Hood degrees say hi.
When I went to College I took a class on Tolkien Mythology, so Pokemon mastery doesn’t seem to Farfetch’d.
April Fools if you can’t tell
Happy April Fools!
lmao. april 1 ?
I totally fell for it when they posted it xD
I hope my grades are high enough…
If it wasn’t April Fool’s, I would totally go for it!
Spend money and time to take a university course that would be next to useless. Smart idea.
Better than paying for xbox live :P
Yeah no shit. Xbox and it awful online is for whiney, spolied kids who love talking shit on CoD.
Art degree…
Wedding dress designer, advertiser, tattoo designer, cartoonist, architecture, art teacher, illustration artist, box art designer…. Yep, I’m flipping anger that you said Art is useless. Especially since I love art. DOESN’T LOOK SO USLESS NOW DOES IT?!
As long as it’s just for the 1st 151 then count me in!
I don’t think we’d get along very well.
Get outta here, Genwunner
Is it bad I actually want that degree?
We ALL want that degree
I know this is an April fool’s joke, but if it was real I bet all the Nintendrones would take this course in place of something important like math and science.
>important
>math and science
Perhaps someone needs to take some courses in humor, sarcasm, and exaggeration.
Did you take the Sony drone course yet.
lol
It’s just a joke. Lighten up.
Have you even SEEN the formulas for different crap in Pokémon games such as catch rate?
Lots of math in Pokémon
Nah. Most Nintendrones would already know everything they’d teach.
Would be cool if this was true…
Yes
april fools ?
april fools
first
Well then, April Fool’s for you!
If it were true, it would be time to cue the Nukes! I like pokemon, but this would be a tad bit on the ridiculous side.
God damn it, actually fell for this… Oh well, at least one April Fools joke had to get me today!
Lost University concept? Is funny how everything seems to have something from the Lost TV show.
april fools, dammit! :D
Tots legit, gaiz.
Nice one. ALMOST had me fooled
…..
Can i just have a fucking game?
yeah
They’ll make it happen eve tually anyway…
If Harry Potter and LOTR can, why not Pokemon?…
You can learn things from each…
There is an Optimus Prime religion aswell with over 1000 members so a Pokemon Degree is just as valid as these examples…
And to be honest, you learn better values from Ash and Pikachu than the ever stupidity of the 3 Abraham religions…
Maybe because Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings have stories worth analyzing. No one in their right mind woukd waste money and time on a Pokemon course.
Damn. You’re really pissed off.
I would, I really would.
There are also litterature classes that study anime
think I learned better values from my church than I did from pokemon, in fact they were really similar values, but the pokemon ones were far more brief while the church ones were more long winded, but what ever, HAPPY EASTER SEASON! :)
Haha! Nice one :D
Furrealz? That’s maoelvrusly good to know.
April fool nice
Thats a good one!
Damn I wish.
Human and Pokemon Dynamics sounds kinda kinky. :[
At this point in the franchise there’s enough data for such thing.
Already got my masters a t Smogon
haha, April Fools Day !!!
YOU MOTHER FUCKER
I’m going to be honest. I fell for this one hook, line, and sinker.
What the heck is this?!?!?
It “could” possibly be real!?
Damn I’m going to be glad when today is over with…
WTF?!?… Is this really happening.
No lol!
I am Saturu Iwata . April fools bitches ¬_¬
I’m saddened that some people almost fell for this.
Unless Pokemon existed, this would be a worthless degree to have.
Makes me wish Pokemon existed.
I guess Religious Studies would be worthless to that logic as well.

“Maybe because Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings have stories worth analyzing.”
Oh please, both are derivative of iconic/ancient cultures. You better off studying those. Plus it’s all magic. Pokemon (more so the games) have an intricate system to learn. That bein said, all three are wastes of education funding. Happy Springtime :D
Ash definitely isn’t going to be a pokemon master anytime soon, huh? Good thing Ash has amassed a crap load of money from trainer battles over the course of his adventure he
won’t have to take out student loans.
I got really excited, and then I remembered it’s April Fools today 3:

Who is going to fall for this?
At first I was like. Wtf. This can’t be real. Then I remembered the date. This and the Xwatch are the best ones I have seen today!
The first thing I thought was in-game schools like the ones from Black and White, but as a read on, it sounded more serious. Then I read the names of the professors and remembered what day it was. This “story” doesn’t hold a candle to the 3DS’s first April Fools Day though:

Ay si, ahorita.
I forgot all about it being April Fools when I first read this. I feel like an idiot now.
