Teacher expertise and credentials
I'm new to pokemon, but I think they are so cool. The creator originally wanted to use them to connect kids with nature, and I want to dig into that connection. I started with Pokemon Go, and have started playing on the switch. My favorite pokemon are: Snorlax, Growlithe, and Venusaur.
