Baffled by the pocket monsters his 7-year-old son is obsessed with, one father recently attempted to explain the Pokmon universe he knows nothing about. Covering Pokballs to Pikachu in a 3 minute segment, the video is a result of John Green having a little too much time on his hands at the airport. Then again, the theories of just where the cute, cuddly, awesome, talented species came from has never been quite so entertaining, either. For Pokmon gurus and amateurs alike, this clip has a little bit of everything for everyone.

The video was posted on Tuesday and has been viewed nearly 300,000 times.
