However, in the Pokémon franchise’s native Japan, Slowpoke is known as Yadon, a subtle reworking of doya, the Japanese word for a self-satisfied, but not particularly intellectual, look on someone’s face.
With a name that literally describes someone who’s incapable of getting things done in a timely manner, it doesn’t seem like he’d be much help in finishing your assignments before their due dates. If you were choosing a Pokémon to have as a coworker or study buddy, based solely on his name Slowpoke might not seem like the wisest pick.
Pokémon plushie pal’s productivity parameters are suspect, but his cuteness can’t be denied.
