Seeing these comments, Su Feng smiled inwardly as some viewers began to understand his perspective, though he didn't show it outwardly.
"The reason I started running before the Beedrill chased me is because I saw the Kakuna."
"Kakuna and Beedrill are part of the same evolutionary line. Kakuna is the pre-evolved form of Beedrill."
"As I mentioned earlier, while Kakuna in this form can hardly move, it's also the safest state for them."
"Because once someone intrudes into their territory, swarms of Beedrill will appear and aggressively attack any intruders."
"They won't stop until the intruder is driven away or killed, becoming their food."
"Like me, I barely escaped by running out of their attack range."
Though it sounded harsh, Su Feng felt it was necessary to state the facts.
While he advocated that Pokémon were friendly, their threat to humans was very real.
He didn't want anyone recklessly approaching Pokémon and getting injured, or worse, killed.
After all, not everyone had his physique.
"In short, if you encounter these two Pokémon and don't have enough self-defense capabilities, the first thing you should do is run. Escape their territory as fast as you can."
[Oh no, the streamer is actually giving serious educational content.]
[Where did you get this data? Is it reliable?]
[What does evolution mean? What are attributes? Streamer, if you know, please explain in detail!]
Seeing these two comments, Su Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.
While others were focused on the dangers, these two were concerned about the data. It seemed some researchers had joined his stream.
But Su Feng didn't plan to hide anything. After all, he was an educational streamer.
"Evolution for Pokémon refers to a transformation to a higher level of existence. Kakuna and Beedrill are great examples."
"As long as a Pokémon that can evolve accumulates enough energy or reaches a certain level, it will naturally evolve into a higher form without external interference."
"This is an instinct for Pokémon."
"Of course, aside from a small number of Pokémon that don't evolve and some special cases, most Pokémon have evolutionary forms."
[Impossible. Human evolution from apes to our current form took millions of years. Such evolution can't happen in a short time.]
[You're stuck in a mindset trap. Evolution doesn't have to be long-term. For example, cicadas spend decades underground accumulating energy before emerging, shedding their shells, and learning to fly. That's also a form of evolution.]
"Exactly, this viewer is absolutely correct," Su Feng nodded in agreement.
"Pokémon evolution is a manifestation of their effort to grow stronger. You can think of it like silkworms turning into moths, mosquito larvae becoming adult mosquitoes, or even a fish leaping over a dragon gate to become a dragon."
[You didn't have to use mosquitoes as an example. I'm starting to feel itchy.]
[The first two make sense, but the fish leaping over a dragon gate sounds a bit exaggerated.]
[As much as I don't want to believe it, it's true. I've personally witnessed a Pokémon evolving...]
Seeing some viewers starting to refer to "monsters" as Pokémon, Su Feng felt a small sense of accomplishment. His insistence on calling them Pokémon wasn't in vain.
"Ahem, regarding Pokémon evolution, I only know the basics."
"But witnessing a Pokémon evolve is a very fortunate event. After all, most Pokémon only evolve once or twice in their lifetime, with very few having three evolutionary stages."
"I'm getting off track. Pokémon evolution is quite rare, but if I get the chance, I'll definitely stream it for you."
"If you're worried about missing it, feel free to follow me. This account is solely for Pokémon education and nothing else."
After Su Feng's reminder, viewers quickly followed the account, realizing he was indeed an educational streamer.
Seeing the skyrocketing number of followers and the influx of gifts, Su Feng was very satisfied.
"Following is enough. No need for gifts," Su Feng kindly reminded.
After all, his account wasn't linked to a bank card. Any gifts would just go to the platform, and he wouldn't see a penny.
But at this moment, the system, which had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke up.
[Are you sure you don't want them? Gifts can be exchanged for educational points.]
"Educational points?" Su Feng was puzzled.
[Every 500 yuan worth of gifts can be exchanged for 1 educational point. These points can be used for lottery draws or to purchase items from the system's store.]
"You're such a scammer! 500 yuan for just 1 point?"
[Tsk, take it or leave it.]
"Fine, I'll take it!"
Su Feng mentally cursed the system's relatives while vowing to get back at it someday.
"Just kidding, everyone. Feel free to send gifts! 500 yuan isn't too much, and even 0.1 yuan is appreciated!" Su Feng quickly added.
[I respect the streamer's shamelessness.]
[Wait, wasn't the streamer just acting all noble about money a second ago?]
[No problem. As long as the streamer provides more information, the gifts will keep coming.]
With that, another wave of gifts worth 8,000 yuan came in.
Including the previous gifts, the total had already surpassed 10,000 yuan, which translated to 20 educational points.
But Su Feng wasn't in a hurry to exchange them. After all, suddenly pulling something out of thin air might get him mistaken for a monster and taken away for research.
[Streamer, what did you mean by attributes earlier?]
Seeing this comment persistently asking about attributes, Su Feng noticed it was from the viewer who had gifted him the most.
After some thought, Su Feng decided not to withhold the information.
Although this person seemed like an official researcher, since he was committed to the path of educational streaming, interacting with officials was inevitable.
Rather than avoiding it, he might as well answer directly and try to build a good relationship.
"Since this viewer is so persistent about attributes, I'll give a brief explanation."
"All Pokémon have different attributes. For example, the Beedrill family I just encountered are all Poison and Bug types."
"From what I know, there are 18 attributes in the Pokémon world, each corresponding to different powers."
"They are: Water, Fire, Grass, Flying, Psychic, Normal, Ghost, Bug, Poison, Ice, Dragon, Fighting, Dark, Rock, Ground, Electric, Steel, and Fairy."
"Pokémon can have either one or two attributes. There are no Pokémon with three or more attributes."
"Most Pokémon's attributes can be determined by their appearance, habitat, moves, and other factors."
"Additionally, and most importantly, Pokémon attributes have type advantages and disadvantages."
"For example, Water beats Fire, Fire beats Grass, and Grass beats Water. This is the most classic example."
"The same applies to other attributes. It's a bit too much to explain all at once, but I'll go into detail when we encounter specific Pokémon."
