At the end of each episode, Orchid-hakase will usually talk about a Pokémon and then recite some senryuu (a Japanese form of poetry) relating to the Pokémon. For a while during the Diamond and Pearl saga, he would make up senryuu relating to the Pokémon belonging to the main characters and it would include some nice pictures of the characters with their Pokémon. The pictures of Satoshi with his Pokémon and the senryuu, plus translations, that went with them can be found here.
