I do not think I know or remember any of those Pokémons, but I know whole periodic table, so it was nice process of elimination :P Nice idea for the quiz.

The idea of this is great. I know my elements moreso than my Pokemon, so this was fairly easy but a little more challenging on the Pokemon end. Excellent quiz!

Very very cool. Thought process:

"Do I recognise it?"

Yes = Element

No = Pokemon

When I started, I thought my knowledge of Pokemon would be more helpful on this quiz. Somewhat surprisingly, it actually turned out to be my knowledge of the Periodic Table.

Don't know Pokemon, but I do know all the elements, so... by process of elimination. But this was a fun quiz and I can see that quite a few Pokemon do in fact sound like elements.

It's only been an element since recently. Some people may have outdated science knowledge due to learning from an outdated source.

At first I only knew it as “ununoctium,” but after reading about fifteen other books on elements and/or chemistry I found out that its OFFICIAL name is “oganesson.”

20/20 pretty quickly; not familiar with most pokemon, but I majored in a chemistry oriented field, so at least I knew how to recognize the elements

Doesn't everyone learn the periodic table at school??

Are there countries where it is not on the curriculum?

This is regardless of how much information sticks of course (but recognizing is much easier than having to come up with them yourself, so it should not be too much of a problem, even if it was decades ago)

Cool quiz, I expected it to be extremely easy but then looking at some of them I realized why this concept made sense because a lot of Pokemon names do sound like elements lol, I got 19/20 just missed Gadolinium which didn't really sound like a Pokemon and I didn't recognize it too well from the elements

I'm a Pokemon nerd so this quiz was very easy but like I never realized how much some Pokemon sound like elements and vice versa. If I didn't know anything about either I definitely would've thought Aggron and Lumineon were elements.

I may not even have known a single Pokémon (until I done this quiz) but I generally hadn't thought they would be so similar to the elements! Luckily, I know my elements quite well, so I managed a 17/20 easily enough.

Half of the people here: "I know the Periodic Table but nothing about Pokémon"

The other half of the people here: "I know the names of every Pokémon but I don't know any elements"

Me, who knows the name of every element AND every Pokémon:

Normally I often find quizzes too tight in time, this one however could be 2:30 minutes less as far as I am concerned. I am not gonna ask it to be decreased btw, as it does not matter if I have 3 minutes left or 3 seconds.

Pretty easy and I don't know anyhing about pokemon. I only know one and I bet you can guess which ;)
