Tough quiz. I'd call myself a decent fan, seeing as I've played the games from Diamond/Pearl up to Sun/Moon. I also used to watch the anime a lot, and have taken up Pokemon Go recently. Still, I struggled past 250, and only ended up getting 354. This is one of those quizzes where I feel like I missed a lot of very obvious answers.
One thing worth noting is that my performance declined a lot with later generations. Everything up to (and including) Generation 5 I got a decent amount of, but then I only got a few Kalos Pokemon and barely any Alola/Galar. Based on the percentage trends, it seems that others were the same way.
Ok well, my score went up to 534. Playing Pokemon Shield over the past few months has probably helped. Still, I'm kinda shocked that my score beats only 68.6% of test takers. Not to say I'm better than everyone else, but I feel like my memory plateaus after a while and I struggle to remember new Pokemon, and I would have expected most other test-takers to have the same problem and not get past a certain point. Kudos to anyone who got a score in the 600s or 700s (who didn't cheat)!
But that wasn't my question. I don't know them all, and I'm wondering what percentage you need to get in order to get a 5. Getting over 600 correct just feels like it should earn more than a 3. At least a 4.
Getting 5 points probably requires 900+ answers. Jetpunk gives 5 points at the 95th percentile of scores. According to the score distribution stats for this quiz, getting 900 puts someone at 83.5%. I'm not entirely sure I'm reading this right, but you probably need to get way more than 600 to get full points.
That's rough. I mean, how hardcore of a Pokemon fan would you need to be in order to get that many? For example, I'm a huge He-Man and She-Ra fan. I couldn't name more than 900 characters in one sitting if my life depended on it. I feel like I need a Master's degree in Pokemon to achieve getting all 900+!
people who grew up with pokemon and engaged with the franchise regularly have a slightly different brain chemistry to help remember them all!! it's not exclusively a pokemon thing, I'm sure if you were obsessed with yugioh cards or the simpsons your brain would slightly alter to respond more strongly to character and creatures from these shows. I've been able to name all of the pokemon since I was 13 or 14, I'd say due to how obsessed I was (and still am) with the franchise. I feel the same way you feel about pokemon with sports players, I don't know how people keep track of different players on different teams but some people could name thousands because of how immersed they are in sports. It's fascinating to think about :P
Only know the original 150/ 151... Had no idea there's now over 900! Tough, might have to find a quiz which is just for the first generation instead. No forgiveness on spelling either.
Got 905/905 - I have ~500 memorized in number order and all the others I got from reaching into the depths of my brain. I definitely would have done way worse if there were no type hints.
You actually can make a quiz longer than 60 minutes... kind of. Quiz times can range up to 90 minutes, but only Stewart and the QM can increase times on quizzes past 60 minutes with special requests.
It's so annoying that you need to *ace* this quiz in order to get all the points on it. Even having taken the quiz more than a dozen times, and typing off a list I still have never been able to get above 1000. I'm blown away that more than 90% of users have gotten over that mark. Permanently stuck at 4/5. :/
i find it just as hard to believe that so many people can name premier league players so easily! it's all about what one grows up with. this franchise is integral to millions of childhoods, it's even in our brain structure :p
I know it´s a lot of work, but could you please accept German/French names again? I know that this was possible in the past because I played this quiz quite often and since I have only played this game in German I only know the German names. To learn all the English names would take ages. Other than that, great quiz, I´d even say my favourite :)
Hey Thomas, I did not remove the languages because of the amount of work it takes, but because some of the entries mess with people who only know the English names. Typing in the German name Dodri is enough to trigger Dodrio already and people who are trying to go through all of the English entries might stumble over the additional o they typed.
That's why I have extracted the German names into its own quiz: https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/136733/alle-pokemon-0001-bis-1008-deutsch
Hey, would it maybe be possible for you to make a quiz which accepts multilingual answers seperate to this one? I feel like some people may not know all the names in just one language (me included :,)) it would be amazing, as I am a huge fan of this quiz and really appreciate the work you put into it! If it's to complicated to do then that is also completely understandable
Hey! I did this at first, but decided to remove this again, as some names in some languages were messing with names in other languages. For example the German name Dodri for Dodrio would hinder English speaking players, as they were left with an unnecessary o
Komala was the last one I got. 1008/1008, sad to know the quiz will be reset due to teal mask and indigo disk which I know them , but I am for sure not typing these again lol.
I did this quiz before the update and did it pretty quickly, so when I saw that it finally got the update, I tried it without looking at the typings which was a lot harder and I got about 970 that way, but I had like no time left, so I looked at the types and after a little was only missing 2, which I got with like 1 minute left, phew, why do Sawk and Throh exist?
Finished at 60:53. I think that the main reason most people can't finish is because they didn't grow up with the later games. I'm still a kid, and while Paldea has so many forgettable pokemon, I still manage to remember them all because I play Violet frequently. It's still sad to see everyone hating on the more recent games though (except Galar).
If you'd like to drive traffic I'd gladly play the nine quizzes this would result in if you split it up by generation. Sitting down in quiz mode for seventy five minutes without a pause is too much for me.
One thing worth noting is that my performance declined a lot with later generations. Everything up to (and including) Generation 5 I got a decent amount of, but then I only got a few Kalos Pokemon and barely any Alola/Galar. Based on the percentage trends, it seems that others were the same way.
Anyways, great quiz!
That means Kubfu, Urshifu, Regieleki, Regidrago, Zarude, Spectrier, Glastrier and Calyrex.
Kind regards.
however I do have to say that there are a few Pokemon that weren't on there such as Altaria :)
I only know few of the gen 7 pokemon besides the starters, regional birds, pseudo legends, fossils, mythical and legendaries
excellent quiz btw
Now it's #0001.
We have come a long way.

I am a pokemon fan (like many who take the quiz) but I am slow at typing, only on episode 40 on Indigo League, and only have 215 pokemon cards.
