Revision as of 02:59, 8 February 2015
The Pokémon Trivia Quiz is a segment featured at the end of some anime episodes in Japan. The segment, for the most part, replaced Professor Oak's lecture. However, Oak held special lectures about the Grand Festival, Hoenn League and upcoming movies during this time, as well as an ordinary lecture about a Beautifly. The segment debuted in AG105 and ended in AG192, when Professor Oak's lectures were once again featured on a regular basis from the start of the Diamond & Pearl series.
The segment consists of minigames, one for each episode in which Pokémon Trivia Quiz is featured in, about not only the anime, but Pokémon species as well.
Before the series format change accompanying AG146, the quizzes focused exclusively on questions that are quite difficult to understand without basic knowledge of the Japanese language and Japanese Pokémon names, involving plays on words. Afterward, various other types of quizzes were featured as well.
The hosts for the segment rotated among Ash, Brock, May, Max, and Professor Oak. Psyduck and Pikachu appeared in the background, while Plusle and Minun cheered the viewer on.

Of these five Pokémon, four share some sort of similarity, while the fifth lacks this trait. This game consists of finding which Pokémon does not belong in a group with the others. After some time, a hint is given, telling the trait the viewer should look for. Finally, the answer is given. | |
Pokémon Puzzle | ポケモンパズル Pokémon Puzzle |
