#just kidding / but it does explain why my relearning of the Quran in a better sense is....a slow process

[delightfullygiddy]

Way back when I was young and Pokemon was still just as strong, my family always berated for knowing the names of 150 Pokemon more than important text. I’ve always wondered why too, but I came to a conclusion this morning.

I think it’s mainly because Pokemon media is part text but mainly a visual medium. Through sprites, official art especially by Ken Sugimori, I’ve been able to remember so much more about Pokemon than something that is just text because my mind can have a reference when I think of them.

Like offhand immediately when I can name, Mew, Budew, Trapinch, Totodile,Serperior, I can also see the designs that go with those particular creatures. (Along with their system of Pokemon typings which have their own aesthetic for each that follow certain lines *more or less*)

So it may just be my personal way of learning, I’m a visual learner first, textual learner second.
