I really like this quiz.

Level 88

Jul 15, 2021

I did horrible at this since I don't know my Pokemon (or elements apparently); however, I nominated it because I love the idea.

+26

Level 88

Dec 7, 2021

I only got 2 out of 20 the first time I took it. Six months later I took it a second tmie and got 19 out of 20. Apparently taking an inordinate amount of JetPunk quizzes has made me smarter.

bro how can you get 2/20 on a true or false quiz

Level 73

Aug 29, 2022

you know the absurd amount of luck it represents?

I do know, it is 1:5519

Level 55

Dec 28, 2022

There is 2^20 combinations, and 19+18+17+16+15+14+13+12+11+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 of them have 2/20

Level 25

May 3, 2023

2/20? that's impressively low, I'd be proud of that.

+11

Level 55

Jul 21, 2021

Absolutely love the idea of this. I know my Pokemon so it wasn't too hard but some of them really do sound like elements! Great idea for a quiz

Level 57

Jul 21, 2021

Thanks!

Level 73

Sep 24, 2023

Easy quiz. You either know your elements or you know your Pokey-Whazzits. To me it was elementary, my dear Watson.

Level 67

Jul 21, 2021

Really cool quiz!

Level 57

Jul 21, 2021

Thanks!

Level 69

Dec 4, 2021

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.

Level 51

Dec 23, 2021

Same haha

Level 94

Dec 4, 2021

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!

Level 83

Dec 4, 2021

Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Also, I totally loved the quiz idea!!

+42

Level 68

Dec 4, 2021

Very very cool. Thought process:

"Do I recognise it?"

Yes = Element

No = Pokemon

Level 57

Dec 4, 2021

Thanks a ton!

Level 79

Dec 10, 2021

You and me both, man!

Level 55

Dec 10, 2021

I did it the opposite way around lol

Level 59

Dec 10, 2021

Yep, that was my tactic too!

Level 83

Dec 4, 2021

Fun idea!

Level 85

Dec 4, 2021

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.

Level 83

Dec 4, 2021

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.

Level 57

Dec 5, 2021

Finally, a science quiz I can ace.

Level 79

Dec 6, 2021

Finally, a Pokemon quiz I can ace.

May 6, 2022

Finally, a science and Pokémon quiz I can ace.

Level 45

Dec 5, 2021

I thought that elements will be 10

Level 79

Dec 5, 2021

Super clever...well done!

Level 73

Dec 6, 2021

Hilarious, and much harder than I might have guessed!

Level 84

Dec 7, 2021

Managed to get 20/20 - all from my knowledge of elements, as I know nothing about Pokemon!

Level 69

Dec 10, 2021

I happen to be a fan of both, so this quiz was a breeze.

Level 71

Dec 10, 2021

Same :)

Level 79

Dec 10, 2021

"Oganesson" is... an... element??!? Huh. TIL!

Level 66

Dec 10, 2021

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

Level 73

May 8, 2023

Well, the source wasn't outdated at the time. I guess that means I'm outdated.

Level 32

Apr 15, 2023

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.”

Level 66

Dec 10, 2021

Clever quiz, thank you

Level 49

Dec 10, 2021

20/20 I only know the names of like two Pokemons (Pikachu and Squirtle), but at least I'm decent with the periodic table!

Level 47

Dec 10, 2021

I wonder if it's bad that I only got 100 percent due to my knowledge of Pokémon rather than science xD

Level 60

Apr 18, 2022

doesn't matter as long as you're happy

Level 67

Dec 10, 2021

You should add "both" as an option for every question, even if it applies to none, just to mess with people!

Level 44

Dec 10, 2021

memorize all of either category and you're good

Level 61

Dec 10, 2021

Easy for a Pokemon fan like me.

Level 37

Dec 10, 2021

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

Level 65

Dec 10, 2021

This comments section is a good example of "there are two kinds of people in the world" lol

Level 66

Dec 10, 2021

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

Level 75

Dec 10, 2021

Knew zero of those Pokemon characters...scored 100%. I'm satisfied with memorizing the Periodic table over those.

Level 57

Dec 11, 2021

Nice quiz, I wouldn't know a single Pokemon but the elements are easy. :)

Level 54

Dec 11, 2021

I knew nothing about Pokémon, but yet got 100%. I know my chemistry. :-)

Level 56

Dec 11, 2021

My knowlegde of elements is so sincere that i got 19 on my first try.

Level 26

Dec 12, 2021

argh!

Level 66

Dec 12, 2021

This is the best trivia idea I've seen on this site!

Level 40

Dec 12, 2021

I like this quiz. Cool concept.

Level 57

Dec 12, 2021

This is a great combination of concepts and ideas. My Pokemon knowledge really helped me pull through here

Level 27

Dec 13, 2021

Easiest quiz I've done, I'm knowledgeable in both Pokemon and elements lol

Level 46

Dec 14, 2021

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.

Level 48

Dec 21, 2021

If you think you are a Pokemon nerd, then try this quiz:

Level 24

Feb 1, 2022

HOW COULD YOU DO THAT??????????????

Level 88

Jan 18, 2022

It seems the twain don't mix, like people would either be science geeks or Pokemon geeks and either way score 100%.

Level 73

Jan 26, 2022

Yep, got 20/20 and the only Pokemon I've heard of is Pickachu

Level 47

May 3, 2023

I don't even know all my elements or any pokemon and I still got 20/20 first try

Level 60

Apr 18, 2022

it does for some of us! i know my elements perfectly but pokemon are far easier to identify when they're a big part of one's childhood.

Level 24

Feb 1, 2022

20/20, my chemistry knowledge got me the 5 points there.

Level 75

Mar 21, 2022

Great idea.

Level 45

May 11, 2022

20/20 in 30 seconds

Level 22

May 12, 2022

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.

Level 65

May 21, 2022

I know absolutely nothing about pokemon, but because i know all the elements, i got 100%

Level 59

May 27, 2022

The pokemon names were chosen pretty well. eg: Meganium really sounds like an element name

Level 57

May 3, 2023

Aggron / Argon almost got me.

Level 28

May 28, 2022

i got them all right somehow i dont even like pokemon

Level 69

Jul 28, 2022

This quiz is really cool because i only had to know one of them. I know a lot about pokemon, and nothing about elements, but I knew which ones were and were not pokemon

Level 75

Sep 16, 2022

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:

Level 27

Sep 23, 2022

i thought silicon said silcoon

Level 45

Oct 17, 2022

I somehow first tried this in 36 seconds

Level 47

Nov 10, 2022

I don't know any pokemon, but knowing your elements makes this an easy 20/20

Level 74

Nov 18, 2022

Too pokemon-centric

Level 58

Jan 1, 2023

Oh, look, salty oatmeal.

Level 62

Feb 2, 2023

It's quite literally a quiz about Pokémon, what did you expect? Countries of the World?

Level 47

May 3, 2023

He was making a joke

Level 22

Nov 29, 2022

i aced it in 30 seconds on my first try. i know too much about pokemon

Level 47

May 3, 2023

I aced it in 34 seconds on my first try and I don't know anything about Pokemon, it's pretty easy for anybody

Level 58

Jan 1, 2023

When you're a nerd who knows all of both...

Nerd powers engaged! 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

Level 38

Jan 8, 2023

20/20 i love my pokemon which made this easier (bc i don't know my elements lol)

Level 16

Jan 13, 2023

too easy, I had 3:35 left

Level 66

Apr 10, 2023

What I did is if it didn't sound familiar, it was an element.

Level 32

Apr 15, 2023

Have never heard of Pokémon.

Got 100%

That’s why I took the elements quiz first.

Level 45

May 3, 2023

Ha Ha. Good fun. The sort of thing at a trivia night that would encourage a lot of involvement.

Level 47

May 3, 2023

I got them all right the first time and I don't even play Pokemon. Maybe reduce the time limit

Level 78

May 3, 2023

Nah. On a multiple choice quiz it doesn’t matter. You either get it right or wrong. Time isn’t really a factor.

Level 57

May 3, 2023

Depends on the quiz and the quizmaker. Some quizmakers might make MC quizzes that are looking for quick answers, like speed multiplication.

Level 42

May 3, 2023

Great quiz, but a little heavy on the Pokémon side of things perhaps?

Level 57

May 3, 2023

I thought the same, but there are more Pokémon that sound like elements than elements that sound like Pokémon.

Level 46

May 4, 2023

Proof that you don't need to know everything in life:

I have never watched Pokemon but got 100% in this quiz.

Level 23

May 5, 2023

i got 18/20 even though i only knew like 4 of them for certain.... i just went off of how the names sound

Level 30

May 5, 2023

i dont know my pokemon though i know my element names

so if its not an element name ill just pick pokemon

Level 15

May 7, 2023

This is a very cool idea. Nice quiz!

Level 23

May 19, 2023

Got 20/20 first try on 19 seconds. I may have watched too much Pokémon… I recognized almost every pokémon in under a second.

Level 38

Jul 18, 2023

As a Pokémon fan, I easily got 20/20.

Level 4

Aug 4, 2023

18/20 and I am French

Level 24

Sep 21, 2023

I got 17/20 first time
