THE END okay byeeeee

Part 1

Part 2

For a long time, it was believed that the famous Greek/Roman statues that you see in museums were supposed to just be unpainted marble, but within the past sixty years or so, archeologists have discovered microscopic flecks of paint on the statues and realized that they were actually painted and the paint just came off in the intervening couple thousand years--or was intentionally rubbed off by archeologists and curators of centuries past, for the sake of making them "look right". And, as is described in the tweet pictured above, people have managed to analyze what little bits of paint remain and determine what some of these statues were supposed to look like. They were actually painted with bright colours and patterns.

Team...Galactic?

emerald — canonically went to school!

sapphire — someone get this girl a dyslexia diagnosis PLEASE i am BEGGING you

green (m) — has canonically read a book (giovanni’s ground type tips & tricks). likely has some foundational skills & became a sight reader over time, because his prime reading development years (generally ages 5-7ish) were spent learning martial arts & pokemon training. his sister became a doctor, so it’s likely she and green by extension have had some sort of schooling at some point.

silver — i think he also has canonically read a book (giovanni’s ground type tips & tricks) which is the only reason he is higher than blue (f) on this list.

crystal — works at a school. also, you almost definitely can’t get a job in a research lab without knowing how to read.

blue (f) — she and silver learned “everything they needed to know” from the mask of ice. I cannot see a world where that didn’t include learning to read, and they were kidnapped young enough that they’d be ready to start learning foundational reading skills. however, pryce doesn’t have a teaching certification and therefore it makes me question the quality of their education

gold — does not consider himself a reader and wouldn’t read a book for fun, but often admits to doing “research” on his own time, implying that he does, in fact, read. also, has an arguably normal childhood and likely received whatever the pokemon world considers a “formal education.” definitely needs an adhd diagnosis but that is a separate conversation

ruby — likely knows how to read. is definitely the kid who never wears their glasses during reading group.

yellow — canonically can write, implying she knows how to decode. fluent reading? unclear
