Pokemon Professor: New species rolling around in the world

The Professor discovered new species of beetles and named them after three legendary birds Pokemon. What do you think Professor can only perform in the four walls of boundaries? So check out this article you will find the real savage of being a professor.

According to the Eastern New Mexico University, Dr. Darren Pollock and Yun Hsiao collaborated on a paper to document the beetle discovery and describe the new species for an upcoming third edition of “Australian Beetles.” The duo examined the specimens and officially named them Binburrum Articuno, Binburrum zapdos, and Binburrum moltres after the Pokemon Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres.

Pokemon fan and Ph.D. student Yun proposed naming the beetles after the legendary birds because he wanted the monikers to refer to the species’ rareness with only a few specimens. Admittedly, the beetles haven’t quite as brightly colored as their animated namesakes. Still, they have been described as being “distinct” as they have a very slight color variation between them.

Much like Pokemon’s legendary birds, the trio of beetles easily identified from one another. Binburrum Articuno (far left) has a silvery brown coloring across its body and wings. In contrast, Binburrum moltres (middle) has a very distinct two-tone coloring with a golden top-half and a black bottom-half, and the Binburrum zapdos (right) has black wings with a golden prothorax between its body and head.

“Yun says that he was an aspiring Pokemon trainer when he was young, and so, because of the rarity of the specimens of the three new species, he suggested that we name them after the three Legendary bird Pokemon,” Pollock explained. “I thought that this was a great idea, and so, the new species which were unveiled to the world in 2020 are Binburrum articuno, Binburrum moltres, and Binburrum zapdos.”

Significantly, this study has emerged in Pokemon’s 25th Anniversary year, with celebrations expected to continue throughout the rest of 2021. The Pokemon Company has already shared some incredible news, including all-new game reveals and details for New Pokemon Snap.

Pollock noted the importance of naming a species and choosing a tough name to differentiate between the specimens. He also indicated that more new genus-species like beetle discovered since the paper published. They may have referred back to their Pokedex of pocket monsters to assign even more Pokemon names to the insects.
