if shown pictures of every single pokémon, would you be able to name them? which ones, if any, would give you trouble?

bonus: would you be able to spell every mon's name?

I always assume that anyone who has played the games for a few years would be able to, but there are always one or two pokemon that some people just never have heard of such as event pokemon. I also have seen a few people who have never seen the USUM exclusive ultra beasts, which makes sense: they've only appeared in 1 set of games that were not as popular.

Personally, I can. I would also like to know form names off by heart, but I don't remember all of the Vivillon and Furfrou form names.

I probably would, yes, if shown a picture, anyway. Would I be able to spell all 890 Pokemon's names correctly, though? Absolutely not. There's some I can't even remember the spelling of due to how long and complicated some are.

I'm pretty confident I can remember their names and types. Dex numbers and egg groups are another story, though...

I can certainly put a name to just about every Pokémon I see! Gen 8 might be an exception though, since I haven't bothered to memorise them yet. Oops!

We need a Poké Rap that spans across every Gen. xD

There are still a few SWSH names that haven't stuck yet. I also have a lot of trouble remembering Heliolisk, the Kommo-o line, and sometimes want to call Scolipede "Scoliopede" and Stakataka "Stakalaka." EDIT: And Klinklang "Klingklang."

Bonus: I think I could nail the spelling of everything else.

Up to Gen 7, yeah, every Pokemon, along with the spellings. Oh, not the egg groups and Dex number, though! When it comes to gen 8, I tend to forget, not only because I don't have the Visa to Galar, but also because I'm not playing in the Gen 8 format in Showdown to get used to them :P

Gen 1 to 5 - yes and flawlessly
Gen 6 - only know most of them from romhacks so it's a bit iffy
Gen 7 - same but even worse
Gen 8 - I know the 3 starters and Wooloo off the top of my head, at the very least

https://www.sporcle.com/games/wartjr2373/all_pokemon_quiz_gen_8 I found a quiz where you can test yourself to name all the Pokemon.

You don't have to press "play quiz", though! That's just for code numbers.
I was able to do it... but there were some Pokemon I didn't know how to spell properly and had to Google. :x
My biggest spelling failure was Aurorous which I remember as Amarous by accident.

Have fun if you actually play the game with the codes, though. Because... that's timed.

The last gen where I could name all the Pokemon was gen 4, lol. I... knew all the Pokemon in gen 5, but in two languages and I never consolidated. And... after gen 5, you can legit show me some Pokemon and I'll straight up say "that's a fakemon". :rowlyikes:

I presume I’d be able to do so, yes. I’ve been a fan for over a decade and I think I know my pokemon very well.

i could probably name every pokemon given a picture except for some gen 6 pokemon. i never cared for X and Y that much, so there's probably a couple i don't remember? even though i've seen them before. also, probably some gen 5 pokemon, not because i didn't love gen 5, but because a lot of the time period i played gen 5 is wiped from my memory. rip.
i can also list all the original 151 pokemon off the top of my head without pictures, not in pokedex order, but still. it's only because i've played pokemon leaf green so many times over the course of my life, that i can walk through the whole game in my head. for instance, on the first route above pallet town, rattatas and pidgeys spawn so i could write down both their evo lines. i didn't realize i could do this until someone asked me to do it lol
