Put some respect on Professor Oak’s name: Becoming a Pokémon expert isn’t easy. A man from Iowa named Kyle Lee Owens found this out the hard way, after submitting an application to be an officially designated Pokémon Professor. The Pokémon Company evidently did not feel his credentials were up to snuff, and now the rejection has turned into a legal rigmarole.

This is an interesting take on the challenges of pursuing a dream! It’s fascinating to see how passionate some people are about their hobbies and aspirations. The idea of becoming a Pokémon Professor certainly has a unique appeal.
