'''Professor Oak's lecture''' is a feature sometimes seen at the end of {{pkmn|anime}} episodes in Japan.
'''Pokémon {{wp|senryū}}''' (Japanese: ポケモン川柳) are [[wp:Haiku|haiku]]-like poems about Pokémon or Pokémon-related themes. Composing them is a hobby of [[Professor Oak]], and his senryū about a different Pokémon is featured at the end of many anime episodes.


[[wp:Senryū|Senryū]] are generally light-hearted or humorous, and they consist of three lines with 17 or fewer [[wp:Morae|morae]]. Unlike haiku, senryū do not require a [[wp:Kigo|kigo]] (season word). The art form was created in the [[wp:Edo era|Edo era]] of real-world Japan by Senryū Karai (柄井川柳, 1718-1790).
Generally, the lecture will start with [[Professor Oak]] using the reels of a [[wp:slot machine|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 [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his laboratory]].  Frequently, the Pokémon will attack or hurt him shortly after.  The lecture closes with a [[Pokémon senryū]].

Revision as of 03:43, 9 May 2008

Professor Oak's lecture is a feature sometimes seen at the end of anime episodes in Japan.

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, the Pokémon will attack or hurt him shortly after. The lecture closes with a Pokémon senryū.

There are also some special lectures, such as those which will promote an upcoming movie or discuss one of the characters.

The segment has never been used in the dub, though footage from the lecture of Alakazam was used to introduce the VHS release of Mewtwo Strikes Back.
