The Personality Quiz

The game begins with the following words:

Welcome

This is the portal that leads to the world inhabited only by Pokémon

Beyond this gateway, many new adventures and fresh experiences await your arrival!

Before you depart for the adventure, you must answer some questions.

Be truthful when you answer them!

Now, are you ready?

Then...let the questions begin!

The personality test will then follow. The Pokémon will be chosen from the nature gathered in points from each question. The following Pokémon can be played, but those marked with a * cannot be chosen as partners:

Pokémon	Nature/Personality		Pokémon.com description
	Male	Female
Bulbasaur	Lonely	Docile	Bulbasaur's Overgrow Ability powers up Grass-type moves when it's weakened.
Charmander	Docile	Brave	This starter Pokémon wears its emotions on its tail—the flame on its tail, that is!
Squirtle	Quirky	Bold	With its Water Terrain ability, Squirtle can lead you across rivers and lakes!
Pikachu	Brave	Hasty	Pikachu is one of the starters you can choose from! We wonder if its ability, Static, will come in to play?
Meowth*	Sassy	Relaxed	If Meowth sees something shiny, its eyes sparkle like jewels!
Chikorita	Calm	Quiet	Grass-type Pokémon like Chikorita can be found in forests.
Cyndaquil	Timid	Calm	Cyndaquil delivers a warm reception when it's angered or startled—its back erupts with fire!

Treecko	Quiet	Hardy	After you battle in the Explorer Maze, Treecko shows up to request a job.
Torchic	Hardy	Rash	Those who hug Torchic get an extra warm feeling because a fire burns inside its body!
Mudkip	Rash	Lonely	Skilled in Water-type moves, Mudkip checks its surroundings using the fin on its head.
Skitty*	Hasty	Naïve	Skitty is so adorable that its Cute Charm Ability can even infatuate its foes.
Turtwig	Bold	Timid	Turtwig is a Grass-type Pokémon. Will it be powerful in grassy areas?
Chimchar	Naïve	Impish	Using Fire-type moves with Chimchar will definitely help you out in a pinch.
Piplup	Impish	Quirky	Piplup is friendly and enthusiastic. It will make a great Pokémon adventurer!
