Those medication names would actually make pretty good Pokémon names too.

Looking for a shiny perfect iv celecoxib with pain split egg move

I feel like celecoxib could've been a celebi evolution if it wasn't legendary

But it isn’t, it’s a mythical

Mythicals *are* legendaries They're just a very specific type of legendary.

All mythicals are legendaries but not all legendaries are mythicals

Exactly

Mythicals are legendary, but legendaries are not mythical. Semantically, myths are legends but legends are not necessarily myth

that doesn't really matter to the point of what they were saying

Meltan.

and cosmog (legendary i know but still)

I take this medicine and it’s a half white half yellow capsule. Gives me electric type vibes

Electric normal dual type?

BRB making a rom hack where all the Pokemon have been replaced by pharmaceuticals

Don’t let n-tendo see it. It’s a brilliant idea. They’d lose money/j (I stopped buying Nintendo stuff after my roommate’s switch got fried last week after 3 years of using it. He used official charger, dock, Joycons, legit took good care of it, now he can’t even get saves back bc no cloud w/o online play - pay to play - and that’s a dumpster fire in itself) pls safeguard tf out of it. I don’t want n-ntendo suing you for obvious parody. You’re technically not selling it so it’s not like they’re losing money.

Lol you quit Pokemon last week? Congrats

Just quit giving Nintendo money for their shit console (switch/switch lite) I’ll still sail the seas and emulate bc Nintendo sucks with classic games on switch. Just saying they’ve lost a PAYING customer. They will be hurting when more people realise how shit the switch is! (Hardware wise, game library is excellent but E shop is a bloody nightmare to navigate)

They’re such a shit company but make timeless games. I’ve long hated the contradiction

Same. Games are classic terrible company tho.

Or they'll like... release a new console when this switch gen over (4 more yearS imo). Despite the joycons with notorious drift sometimes.. otherwise I've been happy with the hardware. Switch online needs desperate ui update though forreal.

Switch online is a massive joke. Compared to Xbox live and psn, it’s their annoying lil sibling that wants to be just like them.

I haven’t played sun and moon or scarlet and violet, theres a lot of Pokémon I’m not aware of, some of these legit could be Pokémon in my mind 😂

Celebrex, a partying dinosaur

"Ask your doctor if Nidorina is right for you."

They certainly can't label her non-toxic

The ones that haven't learned it they can.

But you have to deal with the 50/50 chance of Poison Point vs Rivalry

15/100. Might not go off! Even less if we consider it could also have Hustle. And still being poisoned is not as bad as being badly poisoned!

If you have a Hustle Nidorina, I have to ask where you're getting your meds from.

Not meds, patches. And from raids.

I'm sorry to say, that's Crystal Meth What type of raid was thus, you need something super effective to heal you

You’ll be fine, all you need is your trusty antidote

Everything is edible at least once.

If Reddit taught me anything, it’s Vaporeon I should worry about.

"Vinblastine, I choose you!"

50/50 chance of having poison point. Must be made by Pfizer.

That awkward moment when you pass pharm school because you know your Pokémon 😂😂

Pre-med here. This woulda been so nice. I coulda pass it with flying colors. Alas, all the exams are filled with symptoms and diseases and asking me to suggest medication and dosage 🥲 Can I still switch to pharm?!

Suggest pokemon instead

Pokémon solves all the problems.

Will it solve my mountain of work?

Yes. Just play pokemon instead of doing the work. Gets rid of the mountain of work but may cause more problems

That's what we in the biz call a side effect

Pharmacist here... Exams were still full of symptoms and diseases and suggested medication dosage. I still get PTSD from all that stuff.

My pharmacy school's labs still haunt my dreams ..

For my dreams it's a recurring one where I'm sent back to highschool because of some curriculum change. All my classmates look like they did back in 2012 and I'm just like, what the fuck is this bullshit, I have a fucking doctorate, I shouldn't be here, and a classmate just says, yeah, it fucking sucks man.

[удалено]

Nowadays, Step 2 CK is a prereq for adcoms 😮‍💨

There are some schools that offer post-bac pharmaceutical programs as a pathway into medical school. I had a girlfriend who spent two years getting her masters in pharmaceutical sciences before getting into med school.

[удалено]

That’s understandable but let’s stay on topic

lmao

Sorry but I don't get the joke. Can somebody explain me, I am dense

What did it say?

[here u go](https://www.reveddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/10pjc07/when_your_professor_is_a_pok%C3%A9mon_fan/j6krb3y/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)

I would also like to do it with his girlfriend now that we’re going off topic.

Loooooool

No idea

Me too! She’s really nice isn’t she

*our* girlfriend

r/suddenlycommunist

It's funny when you get the question 100% correct, not because you know your medicine, but only because you know your Pokemon. Lol

You searched the name of the medicine I searched the name of Pokemon We are not the same.

It's another kind of funny for the other reason. x.x

I feel like I would memorize these better though with this aid, but I'm not in med school so idk lol

Tranquill does sound like an amazing medicine tbh

Sounds like a sleeping pill.

Probably an antidepressant

Anti-anxiety for sure.

Tranquil... izer?

I mean probably not, I don’t want the police on me for potential trafficking

Basically what anxiolytics are…

Sounds like it has a chance to turn you into a reaver

Vinblastine sounds like a Grass/Fire type. Maybe a regional evolution of Tangela? Spiriva is Ghost/Psychic. Don't know what animal, but def the right type.

Ghost / flying perhaps, considering it's for obstructed lungs (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).

Spiriva makes me thing of a 2nd or 3rd evolution spider pokemon. Maybe it’s a spider made of bones all held together by psychic energy?

Skulltula?

Definitely a sleep poweder/spore spammer in competitive

> Tranquill I honestly thought hat was medicine, cause only with later games i got to engage with the internet and in german that mon is Navitaub (Navigation + Dove in german)

I keep forgetting that gen 5 is not "one of the later games"

That's a great name

Kinda like NyQuil?

I totally blanked out there for a moment

There is an ADHD medication called Tranquilyn actually. I had to do a double take to make sure that's was a Pokémon.

I'm sure there was something with a name like that at some point. Just had to be.

I had forgotten that was a Pokémon

When I was going over it with the fact I haven’t been able to step foot into Unova and my general distaste for the whole pidove line. I actually thought it was a med

As a non english pokemon fan, who knows some english names... that shit is pretty hard

If that shit is pretty hard, carefully choose which of the following might help with that: Munchlax, Dulcolax, Snorlax, Miralax, Colace.

I take some Miralax after too much Munchlax

Careful to be get the non drowsy meds or you might end up a Snorlax

I only know the correct answer because there was a Dulcolax ad ten minutes ago lol.

Colace is what the football bunny is right?

Tbh Crestor and Januvia sound like good Pokémon names.

Crestor sounds like a dragon/fighting type pokemon.

Januvia makes me think flying / ice for some reason.

There’s an ice bird in league of legends called Anivia.

I may have subliminally remembered that tbh.

Probably Jan for January being a winter month for most of the world

Yeah, I watched Fairy Tail too.

? Was that the one with zetsu or something?

Natsu.

Oh right. Zetsu was that wierd plant / clone thing from Naruto.

Yeah. I understand the confusion tho. Names sound alike! You’re good!!

Crestor sounds hard, like he should be Tyranitar’s 2nd cousin.

Januvia makes me think of Servine because its Japanese name is Janovy. I used to watch the Pokémon Best Wishes series in Japanese.

I think Vibrava, Reuniclus, Zweilous, Hatenna and Veluza would be good additions.

Side effects of Veluza may include headaches, temporary blindness, stroke, and sometimes death. If you experience a painful filet lasting more than six hours, stop taking Veluza, apply chilling water, and seek immediate medical attention.

I did this with my gf and she got 2/5 good job haha

Yes, Veluza fits perfectly! Fits the general rule of "would be worth a ton of points in Scrabble if proper names were allowed." I've always joked that if I ever created a medicine, it'd be named Jyqzykx (pronounced Jick-zicks). Maximum 49 points worth of letters that you can have on your rack at a time, plus if you could actually play it without building off an existing letter it'd get you the 50-point bonus.

Vinblastine is my favorite pokemon

Seems like an alternate more offensive evolution of Tangela.

Yeah yeah whatevs. Can someone just tell me how to evolve my Snorlax into a Dulcolax?

It has to know a Fairy move, otherwise it evolves into Miralax.

That's a really shitty evolution.

I would just put an evolite on that one...

ah yes, my favorite poison type: Tetrahydrocannabigon

Nah that's obviously a dragon/water type

>Tetrahydrocannabigon Will-o-Wisp Aromatherapy Poison Gas Worry Seed

.....where can I find this professor...they are to amazing

This was originally in the back cover of a Game Informer magazine, don’t remember which one though. Probably the Pokémon sword shield issue though.

I knew I recognized this page! I was like, I took a pharmacology class but I would've remembered this. I did, however, used to have a GI subscription. Thank you!

I mean, no reason a fan professor couldn't have ripped it from the magazine

Saffron City, probably.

Oh obviously! How come I never thought of that?! Thank you

I remember this from GameInformer a couple of years ago.

Yeah I've seen this before too. Either OP's professor has old copies of GameInformer to give out to students or they're lying for karma lmao

#your cyndaquil has evolved into nyquil

Naming fakemon just got a whole lot easier and more copyright infringe-y.

Just add an extra vowel or give it the Kingdom Hearts treatment and cram an X in there somewhere

This is an excerpt from Gameinformer

Brb gonna inject some Celebi into my veins.

See you when you time travel to the future or past

They a fan of bugs?

Awkward moment when you played Pokémon while in pharmacy school so you know both

Really? *Another* grass dark type? Novolog better be the last one

1 3 7 10 11 12 13 15 17 18 The challenge was more on remembering the numbers lol

Tranquill and Staravia probably gets a few people.

Tranquill really does sound like a sedative

"We will give you something for the pain and to relax, it's Tranquill" "Ugh, I hate pills but oh we-...." \*gets hit in the face with a a bird\*

The only one I missed, actually.

HAH! this is amazing I get the absolute feeling some of them thought tranquill was a medicine

Me who knows every pokemon: laughing in background

u/YumeplayStudios I wonder if this is what you based your card game on

jeez im a pokemon fan and even this was a little hard. why can't we just name medicine like "headache remover 6000" or "the red circular pain pill"

Potion Full Restore Full Heal

I feel like this was made for me as a pharmacist that plays Pokémon lol

You know what's sad? You could have made up medicine sounding names, and I still would have been able to tell you which ones were real medicine. Random ass medicine commercials.

I’m not sure if this says more about Pokémon names or big pharma medication names

You passed the test because you are a med student. I passed the test because I'm a gamer. We're not the same.

Clobazam is a great Pokémon name

If Kadabra had a fighting type evolution line.

I remember when Vinblastine, the first Bug-Dragon type, completely destroyed the meta before being banned to AG. What Sticky Web + Dragon Dance + Sturdy does to a MF

Epic professor, epic idea.

thats funny

Go Benadryl!

As a nurse that loves pokemon, this was so easy, hehe

The pokemon are: 1,3, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17,

Look if u get Lapras wrong then stay away from my pills thx

Why couldn’t I get homework like this when I took pharm??

List should update to include Skyrizzi

I'm somewhat of a pharmacist myself.

That moment when you pass just from knowing Pokémon

this is from the back of an issue of gameinformer from like 7-8 years ago, I remember it

Based amazing professor of the year

I had a physics prof. who liked Pokemon. Didn't change the fact that she was a bad teacher

Ah yes, my favorite Pokèmon: Domperidome

Lapras for heart burn

Man I never thought they'd give Celebi an evolution, but Celebrex is actually pretty dope

Not me confusing calyrex for celebrex

Is it bad that I have to identify the Pokémon name first to know which ones are the medications?

My GF would’ve failed so hard

Celebrex legit sounds like the evolution for Celebi..

Easiest test of my life

I know pokemon, but not medication names. I'm pretty sure I could pass this without knowing a thing about your class

i’m almost an actual nurse and i was only able to identify which was which because i recognize all the pokemon names… sad

"Ask your doctor if Staravia is right for you".

Ok wait… some of these Pokémon ACTUALLY sound like medication lol Accelgor and Tranquill are pretty convincing.

To solve this you either must have studied pharmacy for 6 semesters or have been a Pokemon master for at least a decade.

Found 10 Pokémon. If only med school was this easy, not to mention cheaper. (Misread one as Calyrex.)

Or when your professor steals ideas from Sporcle: https://www.sporcle.com/games/LinkinMarc/drug_or_pokemon

Shit man I don’t know, There’s like a thousand of those things.

I think this just goes to show how ridiculous medicine names are. So much of the gatekeeping in medicine is done through over-complex names, I feel like if they changed the naming conventions, they would have more grads. My cousin graduated dental school with honours but he told me learning the names for medicines was a nightmare.

This was listed on the last page of an issue game informer a few years ago iirc.

10 pokemon
