In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Earl had an academy named "Earl Dervish's Pokémon Academy". It first appeared in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, when {{adv|Professor Oak}} went to meet {{adv|Crystal}} and give her a [[Pokédex]]. Crystal was a helper at the academy, which was in very poor shape and low on money. It is later revealed during the {{chap|Emerald}} that {{adv|Emerald}} arrived at the academy on that same day, after the [[Trick Master]] sent him there. Emerald admired Crystal and decided to stay, not knowing that Oak hired Crystal to complete the Pokédex for him, and the next day she left the academy. | In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Earl had an academy named "Earl Dervish's Pokémon Academy".

* Earl is notable for changing the order of the words in his sentences, somewhat like {{wp|Yoda}} from {{wp|Star Wars}}, although his grammar is generally incorrect. | * Earl is notable for changing the order of the words in his sentences, somewhat like {{wp|Yoda}} from {{wp|Star Wars}}, although his grammar is generally incorrect. For example, when asking a potential student if they want to learn from him, he will ask, "What you want to know? Want to be a winner is you?" This may be a reference to the {{wp|Engrish}} used in the NES game ''Pro Wrestling'', where the phrase "A WINNER IS YOU" is shown at the end of a winning match. Earl does not talk like this in {{g|Stadium 2}}, which may be due to the quite extensive scope of the Pokémon academy in this game. | ||
**In the {{pmin|Germany|German}} version of Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, Earl is portrayed with a French accent on top of his incorrect grammar. This is dropped in the German version of Pokémon Stadium 2, similar to the case in the English translation. | ** In the {{pmin|Germany|German}} version of Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, Earl is portrayed with a French accent on top of his incorrect grammar.

*Earl's last name is "Dervish", a word in the English language, which can mean (among other things) "One that possesses abundant and often frenzied energy". This serves to reinforce the idea of his eccentric personality. It could also be a nod to the phrase "whirling dervish," as while leading the player to his school during Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, he twirls around at every turn along the way and when ever the player talks to him. | * Earl's last name is "Dervish", a word in the English language, which can mean (among other things) "One that possesses abundant and often frenzied energy".
