The '''Pokémon Trivia Quiz''' is a segment featured at the end of some {{pkmn|anime}} episodes in Japan. They replaced [[Professor Oak's lecture]] (except for some special lectures about the [[Hoenn League]] and coming movies) beginning with [[AG105]], and went until the beginning of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, when Professor Oak's lectures were once again featured on a regular basis.
The '''Pokémon Trivia Quiz''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントリビアクイズ''' ''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 Pokémon Lecture]]. However, Oak held special lectures about the [[Grand Festival]], [[Hoenn League]] and upcoming [[Pokémon movie|movies]] during this time, as well as an ordinary lecture about a {{p|Beautifly}}. The segment debuted in [[AG105]] and ended in [[AG192]], and was succeeded by [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]].


The segment consists of little games, one for each episode in which Pokémon Trivia Quiz features on, about Pokémon and the Pokémon anime. Some games are quite difficult to understand without basic Japanese and Japanese Pokémon names knowledge, as plays on words are quite common.
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 are varied, including {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]] and [[Professor Oak]].  
The hosts for the segment rotated among {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and {{an|Professor Oak}}. {{p|Psyduck}} and {{p|Pikachu}} appeared in the background, while {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} cheered the viewer on.


Background Pokémon includes {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}, the last two appearing using pom-pons to cheer.

Revision as of 04:08, 29 December 2015

Revised title screen featuring Psyduck
Original title screen featuring Pikachu, Plusle and Minun

The Pokémon Trivia Quiz (Japanese: ポケモントリビアクイズ 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 Pokémon 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, and was succeeded by Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia.

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.
