Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture

Pokémon senryū (Japanese: ポケモン川柳) are haiku-like poems about Pokémon or Pokémon-related themes. Composing them is a hobby of Professor Oak, and his senryū about a different Pokémon is featured at the end of many anime episodes.
Senryū are generally light-hearted or humorous, and they consist of three lines with 17 or fewer morae. Unlike haiku, senryū do not require a kigo (season word). The art form was created in the Edo era of real-world Japan by Senryū Karai (柄井川柳, 1718-1790).
In DP075, it was replaced by Pikachu's Movie Memory, as part of a countdown to Giratina and the Sky Warrior.
