The '''Pokémon Trivia Quiz''' is a segment featured at the end of some {{pkmn|anime}} episodes in Japan. The segment, for the most part, replaced [[Professor Oak's lecture]]. However, Oak held special lectures about the [[Hoenn League]] and upcoming [[Pokémon movie|movies]] during this time. The segment debuted in [[AG105]] and ended in [[AG192]], when Professor Oak's lectures were once again featured on a regular basis in time for the start of the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}.

The segment consists of minigames, one for each episode in which Pokémon Trivia Quiz is featured in, about not only the anime, but the species. Some games are quite difficult to understand without basic knowledge of the Japanese language and Japanese Pokémon names, as plays on words are quite common.
