Catch Both Escapist Pokemon Quizzes!

26th place on the normal quiz: had I actually been trying, I would have placed higher.

Let's see what this impossible quiz has to offer...

[mysticite]

It's not even "devout" or "casual", it's more "did you play the series when it was good? (red/blue/yellow)" or "have you played the more recent games?".

Oh please. Don't even start.

Look, I love RBY as much as the next guy, but it's blind nostalgia. The current games just blow the old ones out of the water. Unless you liked playing a game completely dominated by psychic types with no real reliable counter?

You could never have the competitive scene you do today in the Gen1 games.

This.

Although, I have to a admit that it's getting a little ridiculous now- the new Pokemon are all relatively shit and it took it out of me to even buy Platinum. Compared to the two-tone days of RBY there have been massive improvements, though my favourite will always be somewhere between Crystal and Sapphire/Ruby/Emerald.

Every generation has had its lame Pokemon. Tangela and Eggxecutor (or however you spell that one), anybody?

There are still some gems in the current gen. Empoleon remains one of my favorites of all time - you can't go wrong with a giant metal penguin. You just can't!

You do have a point about Empoleon, but throughout every game I always made a point to pick the fire Pokemon as my starter and was massively disappointed when it didn't turn out to be a pretty much unbeatable powerhouse despite my nerdy, selective training (see: Typhlosion, Charizard and Blaziken (also, excuse my spelling of the names, too)).

Really, I'm talking about the 'Legendaries', in their quest to make them the most powerful and impressive, things have got...well, it's all down to personal opinion, really, but Shaymin is about as threatening as a piece of buttered toast. At least Mew had the potential to be earth shattering!

...I guess I'm starting to grow out of Pokemon.

8th in impossible. Got 80% on the first go, too - kind of surprising given that I know almost nothing about Diamond/Pearl/Platinum.

I have to say, there is an argument for at least two of the Pokemon on the "not like the others" question, if not three.

The actual answer is noticeably different from the others.

You picked Infernape and it couldn't kill everything, you are doing something wrong because Infernape is pretty much Blaziken on STEROIDS.

Maybe I just didn't like it because it wasn't attractive enough.
ALSO IT SUCKED.

...personal opinion, I preferred Empoleon.
It might have been due to the fact that I was battling against a friend of mine who spends the vast majority of his time playing Pokemon.
Whatever, I'll go with the age thing.

2nd place in the Impossible quiz, 70th in the Normal quiz which I did even faster.

I blame lag.

It's not even "devout" or "casual", it's more "did you play the series when it was good? (red/blue/yellow)" or "have you played the more recent games?".

Personally, the only generation whose pokemon I don't like are the second gen's. They all just seem so...bland. Even the starters are a huge letdown after we had a fire lizard evolve into a dragon and a small turtle evolve into a turtle tank. There was a lot of easily forgettable, non-evolving pokemon, many of which I only remember now because they recently got evolutions. On that note, Ambipom's design seriously creeps me out...

 

[Zagzag]

10th in the hard quiz. I bet it won't last...

 

[DazZ.]

100% on the normal,
20% on impossible...

I like nostalgia...

 

[CyberKnight]

I'm surprised I actually scored 8/10 on the normal quiz.
but I more than made up for my normal scores with the Impossible quiz's 3/10 score -_-
heh heh heh, I haven't watched pokemon in years. never even seen the ones after the original series

Same scores here, and pretty much the same reason, I think. I got to the question about the Legendary Pokémon and the only one I even recognized was Mewtwo. :?

 

[The_Chief]

100% on the normal,
20% on impossible...

I like nostalgia...

woo not the only failure!!

 

[Metric Monkey]

100% normal. My first 100 ^.^
60% impossible.

How do people finish these things in around half a minute?

 

[Nexus424]

Finally quizzes I can rock with pokemon knowledge. Let's see what I can do.

Welp 14th on the normal of course cause it was easy.

Darn impossible quiz though.

EDIT:

19th on impossible that's more like it. *Ignores amount of retries*

 

[Proteus214]

Blargh. My Pokemon knowledge does not extend beyond Red/Blue. The normal quiz was easy as hell, but I had to guess on pretty much every question on the impossible quiz. =\

First, Ihave to say that you are a beast for being able to remember the rosters of the fighting gym leaders. I had to take the Impossible quiz four times because I didn't know that question. I was so sure Chuck used a Machoke.

Next, I have to say that the current generation had some awesome pokemon, and so did the previous one. Metagross, Slamence, Roserade and Garchomp are some of my favorites. As for the starters, I picked Piplup, but Chimchar was the coolest for two reasons: Flaming. Poo.

 

[orangebandguy]

I'm a Pokemon Master!, or not as my impossible quiz results seem to show..

 

[Swaki]

90% on the first go on normal, holy shit! i haven't had any thing to do whit pokemon since its first arrival to denmark back when i was an apple cheeked lad, how can i still remember these things? well i did collect the cards, watch the show and play the games, but still.

also this quiz invoked my old passion, first thing tomorrow im gonna buy the old seasons from my youth and freak out the people close to me even more, growing up is for adults.

 

[Aedes]

AHA! 80% on normal and 40% on inpossible! High five anyone???

Oh well, my pokemon knowledge is not what it used to be... But then again, the last time I actually enjoyed anything related to them was more than 7 years ago.
Not so bad after all.

 

[Yoshi_egg80]

60% on impossible most of the questions were from the DS games which I never touched since quite frankly I never owned a DS.

 

[SharPhoe]

100% on the Normal one, and 90% on the Impossible one.
*pats himself on the back*
That'll do, pig. That'll do.
