Really fun and super addicting, I played the most before they updated their ui to require you to confirm your answer before proceeding so I used to hit the wrong one all the time and get confused. I also don't like how they list the alternate forms, like megas and stuff, because sometimes the column will be like 'mega form' but then the list both includes non-megas AND lists all the mega forms with 'mega' in their name. I think it'd be more of a challenge if the megas weren't listed at all and you just had to remember who got a mega and who didn't. But I'm sure that'd mess things up in other ways so it's whatever. It's gotten a lot of updates since the last time I played consistently but I fell off of it so hard.
A fun and unique way to test one's Pokémon knowledge, but without a proper leaderboard or win streak counter, scores feel kind of meaningless, and the fact that you have to get all nine right on your first try feels pretty harsh for one of these web browser guessing games.
UPDATE: They actually added a win streak counter, so that was a pleasant surprise.

A perfectly passable time-waster for those with too much Pokemon brainrot. The fun part (maximizing your Uniqueness score by selecting options you think players won't choose) comes second to the Other Part (desperately trying to remember which friendship-evolving mon can learn Shadow Ball). Not worth sinking any meaningful time into.
i don't really play this that often but when i remember it exists i always have a good time with it. as someone who's a pretty casual pokemon fan that plays through the story of the new mainline game that comes out every few years it's a good challenge of my memory and im pretty sure every time ive played ive failed so it always has me striving to get a win one of these days. the real issue is if you still haven't gotten around to one of the games in this series you're probably boned on a given day's puzzle, had a few times where i just blankly stare at anything relating to gen 9
this reminds me of how divorced i am from this series now and that makes me kinda sad cause a lot of people i know who are still deep into it are on this. it isn't quite a fear of missing out so much as just remembering a time when i had passion that is no longer there or is otherwise diminished.
otherwise not really a fan of this sort of puzzle cause it feels like trivia with extra steps and less... well, trivia.
