Interesting question. How many of you guys can name every existing Pokémon from memory? I'm a big nerd and should be able to name all of them (sometimes I have brain farts and forget a few, but that usually comes back quickly), but I've seen others who could only name up to a certain generation. What about you?

I think I can mention from memory all Pokémon from Gens 1, 2 and 3. After that it starts to get fuzzy at some points besides one can easily get the names of some Pokémon wrong such as the Klink line.

But who knows? With enough caffeine everything is possible.

hell nah i couldn't do that. i think i could do gen I-III decently. i'd lose traction around IV and V. hell if i know VI and VII lmfao. it'd be a lost cause at that point.

I can't name them all in order, but I know all the names (I.E. I'm immediately able to connect a picture of a Pokemon to their name and vice versa).

I bet the guys at work £40 I could do the original 151.

… Yeah, I didn't win that bet. Got like 140 before running out of ideas and then time.

I doubt I could list them all off the top of my head, but I'm confident I could name them all from pics (except one or two of the Srd/Sld Pokés whose names I've yet to memorize). Maybe silhouettes as well, given they aren't deceptive (no Jigglypuff from the top view). (Might have trouble with Voltorb/Electrode, though.) Definitely can't name them in order.

Definitely not off the top of my head, but if I had some pictures or something to go off of then yeah, I think I could name most Pokemon.

i could probably name the original 151 off the top of my head (not in order)... up to gen 5 i can name most of them based on a picture i think o: i wasnt really too invested in XY or sun/moon so i honestly am not familiar with the entirety of their respective dexes! i know a lot of them but some of their names escape me

I'm certain I could name a lot from raw memory, but not sure exactly how many that would be. Definitely could not do literally all of them though.

I think I could name them all out of my head. I would have problems in IV and V as I'm not sure where few Pokémon, mostly the fish ones, belong to, but could figure it out after few minutes. I would also misspell few of them as I was just thinking how are Aromatisse and Slurpuff spelled correctly. I even called Slurpuff Spurmuff or something like that. I also don't count Gen VIII Pokémon as I haven't caught up on the Roggenrola and Gigalith clones' names.

not in generational order.

kind of ashamed that as a former seventh gen mod, I don't really remember a whole lot of seventh gen Pokemon. ._.

but then again, I don't remember a lot of sixth gen Pokemon either. for whatever reason, the more recent gen Pokemon slip my mind because I tend to use older Pokemon in my playthroughs more often than not.

Heck no I can't! Lmao. I can barely remember the 151 without hesitation. I'm getting so old...*sobbing* but, really. No. I can't really remember pokemon that I haven't trained in the newer games.

I can probably memorize 2/3ds of them, mainly my favorites

its the ones I hate the most I have harder time memorizing

I've done the sporcle quizzes for the first 6 generations and I generally manage 100% for 1, 2, 3 & 6 but there's always a few stragglers from 4 & 5 that get me although different every time. I haven't done one for 7 yet actually though.

Gen 1 for anyone that wants to try:

I only did the first 3 gens so far, will do the others later:

From memory? Maybe, it depends on how I'm feeling, though. But in Pokedex order? Probably not...

From memory? Absolutely not. Gimme a name or an image and I can definitely tell you whether it's a Pokemon or not, though. I know them all, I just can't bring every name to the front of my mind when put on the spot.

I've actually tested this in sporcle, and the results weren't very good. xD I probably wouldn't be able to.

a good memory test would be to see "how many of the most recent generation pokemon you can name without looking them up"

most people who grew up on the older generations would be more than familiar enough with them so this would be an interesting approach

I was actually a huge pokemon nerd, and i managed to remember until 493 (Arceus), unfortunately i don't really dive deep into pokemon like i was and so i only could list them until gen IV
