really disappointed that you chose not to include Fcharizard, Epikachu, Wblastoise, Gvenusaur...I feel like this list is very selective..

Must’ve slipped through the cracks somehow. Too lazy to update the quiz to include them though.

I don't know much about Pokemon but it seems counterintuitive to me that Psyduck is not a psychic type.

Agreed! Especially considering it uses lots of psychic moves, and the main gimmick of the Pokémon is its constant migraine brought on by its psychic powers. But alas, it is just a humble water type pokemon.

PLEEEASE remove the extra white boxes at the ends of some of the lists. I wasted a ton of time trying to think of Pokemon that would go there.

Also, Whiscash and Walrein should be swapped.

Sorry, I don’t really use dark mode so I didn't know this was a problem. Will fix. Walrein and Whiscash are in the right spot now.

Feels like maybe a little more time would be nice, but maybe that's just me.

I made this quiz before Gen 8 and Gen 9, so I bet what happened was that when I updated the quiz to include those generations I didn’t update the timer. I’ll add a couple more minutes.

This quiz is so fun! Also, if you're adding gen 9 Pokemon as they're announced, Wiglett works too
