Pokemon Biology Lesson No. 2: The Coalossal Line

Habitat: Mountains

Lifespan: 80-90 years

Diet: Grass, leaves, any plant material.

Predators: Rolycoly are preyed upon by other carnivorous Rock Types, but Carkol and Coalossal are too big to be taken down.

The pile of coal on Carkol and Coalossal’s bodies… is their poop, as their digestive tracks compressed the plant material into coal in a span of 2 days (the process normally takes millions of years).

Coalossal usually dig tunnels within mountains to make their nests, but with the advent of mining, they resorted to using mines as their nests.

For defense, a Rolycoly will heat up their bodies to the point that it will burn in the mouth of their predators.

During the winter, Carkol and Coalossal will burn up their own supply of coal to keep warm. This will case the surrounding ice to melt in the process.

They are one of the few Rock-types who don’t fear water. As a result, any bodies of water a Coalossal is in will become a hot springs.

More updates… seems this new show… is not using the OG cast. Instead it’s a new generation… THANK GOD!

So… my friend found this on Twitter… I hate to say this, but I rather have the Netflix reboot that this one. Yes, they butchered characters, but the bus is still the bus. This… isn’t the bus I knew and love!

More on this AU:

Janet is (sadly) in this, and she is a rival to both Carlos and Wanda.

Wanda has a fear of Hydreigon due to an incident when she was six. By the present day (AKA the time of B2W2/XY), she overcame that fear.

The kids have experienced the Team Plasma disasters. The first one had their Pokémon controlled by Team Plasma and the second one is similar to canon. Also, they are the same age as the Nuvema Town gang.

Once, Carlos was sick during the Wallace Cup, so Wanda took his place and won the Aqua Ribbon.

Of course the Team Rocket Trio comes to steal the gang’s Pokémon and Jessie being a rival to Carlos and Wanda in Contests. Also Jessie’s Serviper and Yanmega have beef with both Keesha’s Serviper and Wanda’s Yanmega.

Also, Wanda’s Gyarados is not the Red Gyarados. She was a Shiny Magikarp, not a regular one.

We need a master post of our MSB/Pokemon AU. Like stat.

Well....

The MSB gang are from the Unova region, specifically Mistralton City. (Which takes the place of Walkerville in this AU.)

Ms. Frizzle knows pretty much all the Professors, Gym Leaders, Champions, etc. She even studied under Professor Rowan when she was younger.

Carlos and Wanda both do Pokemon Contests and Showcases in addition to regular battling.

To add more to the discussion:

The reboot confirmed Walkerville is in Virginia (because that’s where Joanna Cole was born in)… but the reboot is non-canon so we can say Walkerville is a moving town.

And if you search up Walkerville on Google Maps, you’ll discover that there are two Walkervilles in North America. One in Michigan and the other in Windsor (which is in Canada). Considering that MSB was a Canadian show (produced by Nelvana) and a talk with some Discord friends who are from Michigan and how much the Michigan accent takes from Canadian English, Walkerville being from the state of Michigan (either as a small town or part of the greater Detroit-Windsor metropolis area) is plausible… but the moving town theory is much funnier.

MSB rambles: locations

As anyone who’s watched the Magic School Bus series knows, the show is mostly set in Walkerville, a made-up town. However, they never specify where it is, except for “in the USA.” They don’t specify what state, or even what region of the country it’s in. But here are my observations.

In “Gets Eaten,” Ms. Frizzle drives the class to the beach, while the bus is in normal bus mode. The beach looks like a California beach to me (based on my experience going to beaches there), and a sea otter makes a brief appearance. In the US, sea otters are only found along the west coast.

In a few episodes (Getting Energized, Rocks and Rolls, etc…), it’s shown that there are mountains/foothills just outside Walkerville, and that there’s snow on top for at least part of the year.

We know it snows during the winter in town as well. (Source: MSB Holiday Special)

There is a swamp with alligators and blue jays within driving distance of town, as shown in “Butterfly and the Bog Beast.” The whole vibe of the swamp feels very southern to me. (Note: “driving distance” might not necessarily mean said swamp is near town. Could just be that anywhere is driving distance on the Magic School Bus.)

In “Gets Swamped” we see that there is a more marshy swamp in town. The main vegetation is reeds and small shrubs, and the animal life consists of species such as snapping turtles, muskrats, wood ducks, harriers (marsh hawks), bullfrogs, red-winged blackbirds, and dragonflies. This suggests a more northern location for Walkerville.

In “Goes to Mussel Beach,” the mussels are described as “Mytilus californianus” aka the California Mussel, a species only found along the west coast. Again, we have no idea how far away the beach is from town, but it’s a different beach than the one in “Gets Eaten.”

In “Kicks Up a Storm” the outside temperature gets to a high of 99 degrees Fahrenheit— which, judging by the kids’ reactions, is too hot for them. As a Californian, I can sympathize with this.

In “All Dried Up,” the bus (in plane mode) must fly over a mountain range to get to what looks like the Sonoran Desert. Which mountain range they fly over is not specified.

In the book “The Truth About Bats,” it is stated that in order to see bats in Yosemite National Park, the class must fly to California— thus implying that Walkerville is not located in my home state.

In “Goes to Seed,” there is a Ruby-throated hummingbird (at least that’s what I think it is) in the garden at Phoebe’s old school. The Ruby-throated hummingbird lives mainly in the eastern half of the US.

In “In a Beehive,” Tim mentions a “big frost” approaching. Again, this suggests Walkerville is somewhere Up North. (We don’t get a “big frost” where I live— just a few smaller frosts.)

In “In the City,” we see that some of Walkerville’s urban wildlife includes peregrine falcons, red foxes, opossums, raccoons, and nighthawks. It is also implied that bears live in the woods outside of town.

In the book “The Wild Whale Watch,” the New England coast is a short drive from school, which directly contradicts my observations about coastal locations in the show.

The woodpecker in “Meets the Rot Squad” is a red-bellied woodpecker, a species found in the eastern US.

In the book “Rocky Road Trip,” Carlos says that he collected some of the rocks in his collection near “the Saddle River.” I looked it up, and in the real world, Saddle River runs through New York and New Jersey. (But for all we know, the Saddle River in the book could be made up just like Walkerville.)

In “Ups and Downs,” we see that Walkerville is located near a good-sized lake— large and deep enough for a submarine to dive in, and with plenty of underwater vegetation.

In terms of continuity, there is no continuity when it comes to where the heck Walkerville is. This sometimes frustrates my overanalytical brain. So, I leave it to you, fellow Magic School Bus fans, to answer the question:

Map for reference!

Canon. I mean… yeah, there might be a pizza night and there’s Phoebe, but no… there’s the tarantula in the house!

Ralphie would often visit Carlos's place

Carlos would not visit Ralphie's though due to Fang's presence

The Pokémon World is weird… in the best way!

Favorite things that canonically happened in the Pokemon games:

-Rival Green/Blue takes a picture with your HGSS character because he thinks you’re cool

-he’s also feeling pretty peachy

-Erika talks crud

-someone was like making out or something in Bill’s yard in GSC 

-Giovanni literally ditches his son because he’s upset about a 10 year old beating his butt

-Silver tears a layer of your clothes off

-Children hate Steven Stone because his obsession with rocks is weird

-Prof. Birch runs away from his wife because he thinks she’s a pokemon

-There’s a tv show in Hoenn called the “Hoenn Rangers”

-There’s a magazine about exposed champions

-Characters who act attracted to you usually act the same no matter what gender you are

-Rival Barry gets distracted by a crogunk cutout when the world is ending

-Team plasma + stuff bad for team plasma= plasbad

-N knows the lyrics burn baby burn somehow

-N shouts “that’s an ugly formula!”

- Prof. Birch runs away from his wife because he thinks she’s a pokemon

(add your own bc this is just getting good)
