10	[[http://ask-virbank-university-blog.tumblr.com/ Ask Phd Pokémon]] is a Pokemon Ask Blog styled web series written and illustrated by Chokoron. Taking place starting in 1969 and working it's way through the 1970's, the blog follows the lives of both the Faculty and Student body in Virbank State University though much of the stories will follow the characters in their lives outside of the school and frequently displays their lives throughout the city of Virbank itself, a cold north-eastern Port city based off Portland, Maine with the entire state being based off Maine itself. The characters are frequently faced with hurdles most experience in college and early adulthood in both the modern age and the late 60's.

15	%% * AlwaysSecondBest: Poor Charlie can't catch a break.
16	%% * AntiVillain:

22	%% * EyelidPullTaunt: You can always count on Ciel to find new ways to [[http://41.media.tumblr.com/02cd69dca1ba5dc7cb2cdf66d63ff95b/tumblr_nnu9cmyIub1u6jdm5o4_1280.jpg stick her tongue out]].
23	%% * GratuitousFrench: Ciel is so french it's painful
24	%% * HollywoodNewEngland: Virbank State is basically Maine, with Virbank city being Portland.
25	%% * Hot Scientist: Valentine Pfiffer, if you can get past the sanity issues.
26	%% * JustFriends: Ciel and Victor
27	%% * MinnesotaNice: Lucy, as is constantly showcased in her dialogue (though Lucy herself is from Wisconsin)
28	%% * MyCountryRightOrWrong: Popular among those who were in Vietnam, no exceptions here.
29	%% * NerdsAreSexy: The general consensus of the student body's feelings towards Louvel Labelle
30	%% * OfficeRomance: Björn and Alina made it all the way to marriage.
31	* RedScare: Unovians are brainwashed by their local media into fearing what has long since passed as a threat. This doesn't stop Abby and Marion from living in fear of the red menace, however.

33	* SecondPlaceIsForLosers: At least, in Charlie's eyes it is. Especially when that means having only the SECOND best GPA in the school. Second only to Lauren.
