Whether your Pokédex is full or you stopped counting after Gen 1, there's something uniquely satisfying about knowing your Pokémon. How far does yours go?
From Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle in a Pallet Town lab to Gym Leaders, the Elite Four and legendary Pokémon across nine generations. This quiz covers the franchise from its roots to its recent history. Every Trainer thinks they know their Pokémon. Prove you do.
Created by Satoshi Tajiri and Ken Sugimori, Pokémon launched in Japan in 1996 with 151 Pokémon across Red and Blue. It became the most profitable entertainment franchise in the world, ahead of Star Wars and Marvel. Nine generations later, there are over 900 Pokémon and the Pokédex keeps growing. What started with a boy leaving Pallet Town became a cultural phenomenon that has never really slowed down.
Gen 1 nostalgia is real and earned. Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle remain the most iconic starters in franchise history. But Pokémon has rewarded the Trainers who kept going through Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and beyond. This quiz spans the full range. Casual fans and Pokédex completionists both have something at stake here.
