Missed four. Three were perpetual Jetpunk betes noires Pokemon, Game of Thrones and Spongebob. If none of those things existed I'd do a lot better on these quizzes.
Kanto is also the region in Japan that contains Tokyo. Pokemon regions are all based on real geographical places (though Kanto is the only one that shares the name).
I missed the same three plus the Risk one, another frequent category. If the quizzes repeatedly asked about romantic literature or classical music, (or even country music or R&B) I'd do much better, although I am learning. I knew the Spongebob one had something to do with Krabby patties, I just didn't know the name. And I guessed Kingsland for Game of Thrones - so close. The other categories that get me are video games and The Simpsons.
One of the best parts of being young in the '60s - the beach scene with Jan & Dean, The Beach Boys, Gidget & Moondoggie, Where the Boys Are, and Frankie and Annette.
Agreed. Maybe it's an age-group thing, but I never have and never will consider Pokémon anything more than a cartoon and toy for little kids. I don't see pogs, cabbage patch kids, my little pony, or strawberry shortcake trivia featured heavily here, so why does Pokémon get so much love?
I used to occasionally babysit for a boy who brought Pokemon cards along, and that was my only exposure to it - his family was originally from Colorado. I know many kids who played Magic:The Gathering, yet I never see anything pertaining to that game on this site. Maybe it's a regional thing here in the Upper South.
Are you one of those people that thinks art isn't important? Spongebob is maybe the exception, but fiction is not stupid. Fantasy is not stupid. And learning anything cannot make one dumber.
I'm trying hard to do jetpunk quizzes without using up my scarce brain cells by remembering trivial bits of information like Spongebob, pokemon, American convenience stores and pop music, obscure childrens' stories etc. So far I'm doing pretty well, but my scores are not so great!
