    The inclusion of Pokédex Entry numbers is great.
    Also, I like the sources cited for the paper. One of them is “Pigeon-Elephant Theory: the real origin of humans – Journal of Astrological Big Data Ecology by B McGraw”

      Is there money in writing crap “research” papers like this?

      I would be fine doing this under a pseudonym. But I know UFO researchers really have to hustle a ton. So maybe not?

        People also do this to take the piss out of a junk journal. Usually ones that let anything through

          Ooooohhhh… That’s a thing? Let me guess, I have to pay to publish my ChatGPT-authored “research” proving that cats are actually aliens?

        I have no idea, but I am guessing the religious right pays handsomely for anything “scientific” which supports their absolutely asinine beliefs.
