This is a question I am often asking my groups that are interested in Pokémon!
My theme here of leveraging student interests (and Pokémon) is not new but I count as an alignment both with the client values prong of EBP and neurodiversity affirmation.
To that end, a quick techie find and a couple tips. This website has archived images of Pokémon cards over many years. It is searchable so you can look up a specific character but I have just been looking through random sets for the fine print description at the bottom (oh, my old eyes!). These descriptions are helpful not only for the terrific Tier 2 vocabulary but also for opening your students up to social analogies.
I screenshot the card, put it on a Google Slide like so (screenshotting again the description and enlarging it) and use the good old "we talk, I type" strategy (kids are strangely engaged by watching you type). This allows us to explore topics and tools that I link to strategies like Zones or Autism Level Up, or both. Indeed it does not serve Drampa to destroy his whole environment!
What an insightful post! Pokémon teaches us valuable lessons about perseverance, friendship, and adaptability. Just like Ash and his Pokémon face numerous challenges, we too can learn to embrace obstacles and grow stronger from them. The importance of teamwork and understanding each other's strengths is a fantastic reminder for both personal and professional relationships. Thanks for sharing these great insights!

Pokémon teaches us valuable lessons in perseverance, friendship, and growth. Just as trainers work to strengthen their Pokémon, we can learn to develop our own skills and tackle challenges with resilience. Pokémon’s evolution themes also remind us that growth takes time and effort. For fans, customizing accessories like hats or bags with a PVC patch maker can be a fun way to express this fandom! A custom patch can showcase your favorite Pokémon, capturing its unique personality while being durable enough for daily use. Embrace Pokémon’s spirit of adventure and creativity in ways that inspire personal growth every day!
