Pokémon Trivia Quiz: Difference between revisions

{{incomplete|2=Japanese characters with translation and missing quiz information}}

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 coming 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 Japanese and Japanese Pokémon names knowledge, as plays on words are quite common.

|See the clip and answer!

''Eizō o mite kotaeyō!''

|A question about an episode scene is made and then a short clip of this scene starts playing, but it is very blurred and scrambled. There's a time limit and, as time goes by, the clip looks less blurred, giving hints to the answer to the question about the clip as the difficulty level goes down. Finally, the clip gets completely clear and unscrambled and the answer is given.

|Pokémon Shiritori

''Pokémon shiritori''

|It's a short game of {{wp|Shiritori}}, a Japanese word game in which the players are required to say a word which begins with the final {{wp|kana}} of the previous word. But this game has a little twist to it, as it has a time limit and the word chain (consisting of Japanese names of Pokémon) is already set, but some of the letters have been blanked out. As time goes by, more letters appear, decreasing the difficulty level and eventually revealing the answer.
