Just for the record:
A quick google search for the words “pokemon” and “cancer” return a surprising number of results. A few of the articles even mention “Pokemon Master” genes.
I have two questions: What was going through the researcher’s head when they named it the, “POK Erythroid Myeloid ONtogenic factor?”
The other question is, “What in the hell does POK stand for?”
I wonder what Nintendo’s official response will be.
