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. |
