IMPORTANT: Due to low enrollments in the live classes, I encourage you to consider taking the “flex” version of this class. It contains the same content and can be taken on a flexible schedule. What’s more, I offer a “pay what you can” discount for all flex classes! Just sign up for the class and then send a message requesting your preferred discount. Here’s a link to the flex version of this course:

▬▬▬▬▬▬  COURSE SUMMARY  ▬▬▬▬▬▬

This course explores over 60 Pokemon and their origins in Japanese mythology and culture. Students will learn about cultural traditions that have inspired Pokemon, and a plethora of Japanese of myths and legends that are the basis for other popular Pokemon. While the focus of this class will be the culture/mythology of Japan, it is through the lens of the Pokemon world, and thus is not a comprehensive review of the entirety of Japanese culture, folklore, or mythology.

Students will also have the opportunity to create a Pokemon that is inspired by a Yokai (one that hasn't been made into a Pokemon yet). Instructions will be given in Week 3, and presentations will be at the beginning of class in Week 4.


▬▬▬▬▬▬  SCHEDULE REQUESTS ▬▬▬▬▬▬

I create my entire teaching schedule based on schedule requests, so if you don't see a time that works for you, please put in a request! However, I can only teach live classes from 9 AM to 4 PM Arizona time. If you need to watch the class outside that time period, you can enroll in the “flex” version of this class and watch the recordings at your leisure! Here is the link:
