Pokémon quiz: name the answer nobody else gives

Everyone can name Pikachu. The real question is which Pokémon, move or Gym Leader nobody else would think of. This quiz asks you to go past the obvious, across the games, the anime, the movies and Pokémon GO.

Each category is a question you answer by typing, in Abyss, Wonderhop's rarest answer game: any real answer counts, and the fewer players gave it, the more points it earns. The first game of 7 categories is free, with no account.

How it works

Open the quiz: game 1 starts right away in your browser, on a phone or a computer. Nothing to install.
Read the category and type a real answer before the timer runs out. Small spelling mistakes are fine: an AI judge checks every answer.
The obvious answers score little. A correct answer that few players thought of takes you deeper.
After 7 categories, see your score and how rare each of your answers was.

What the quiz covers

The 140 categories cover every generation: starters and Legendaries, every type, moves and abilities, regions, towns and Gym Leaders, the anime and its companions, the movies, spin-off games and Pokémon GO events.

The categories are split into 20 games of 7. Game 1 starts with the categories every fan knows; the others go into the deeper cuts. The full list is below.

Why the rarest answer?

Most quizzes reward whoever answers fastest. Here, knowing a lot is what counts: in a category like starter Pokémon, Legendary Pokémon, Gym Leaders or Pokémon named in the PokéRap, the first names that come to mind are the ones everyone gives. Real fans find the ones that nobody else remembers, and the judge makes sure they are real.

Price

Game 1 is free. The 19 other games of the Pokémon pack cost 2.99 USD, once, to play whenever you like. The Hop Pass (9.99 USD for life, or 3 USD a month) unlocks all 5 packs and the ones to come, along with unlimited games and the archives. In several countries, the game shows a lower local price in your own currency, always before you pay.
