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, the 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 Oak. Psyduck and Pikachu appeared in the background, while Plusle and Minun cheered the viewer on.
Types of Pokémon Trivia Quizzes
Various kinds of puzzles were featured on this segment and each one had its own set of rules.

Today's Question | 今日の問題 Kyō no mondai |
The initial format for Trivia Quizzes involved posing a question containing puns with the Japanese names of Pokémon. | |
See the clip and answer! | 映像を見て答えよう! Eizō o mite kotaeyō! |
A question about an episode scene is made, and then a short clip of this scene starts playing, but it is very blurred and scrambled. There is a time limit, and as time goes by, the clip un-blurs, giving hints to the answer to the question about the clip as the difficulty level goes down. Finally, the clip becomes completely clear and unscrambled, and the answer is given. | |
Pokémon Shiritori | ポケモンしりとり Pokémon shiritori |
A short game of Shiritori, a Japanese word game in which the players are required to say a word which begins with the final kana of the previous word. This game has a twist to it, in that a time limit is present, and the word chain (consisting of Japanese names of Pokémon) is already set, but some of the letters have been blanked out. As time goes by, more letters appear, decreasing the difficulty level, and eventually revealing the answer. | |
Memorize! Pokémon | おぼえて!ポケモン Oboete! Pokémon |
A short clip from an episode starts playing multiple times for close observation. Questions are then made about particular elements of the clip. Lastly, the answer is given and shown. | |
Memorize! Pokémon DX | おぼえて!ポケモンDX Oboete! Pokémon DX |
A set of six Pokémon are repeatedly shown, and then a curtain descends. When the curtain rises, six Pokémon are shown again, but one of them is not one of the original six Pokémon shown before. The answer is the name of the missing Pokémon. | |
Find the odd-one-out! | 仲間はずれをさがせ! Nakama hazure o sagase! |
A screen with five holes is shown, and from each hole, a different Pokémon keeps popping up, like a whack-a-mole game. 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 |
A jigsaw puzzle with all of the pieces blanked out appears on the screen. As time passes, random puzzle pieces appear and disappear, giving glimpses of the Pokémon. When the time is up, the Pokémon is then revealed. | |
Pokémon Arithmetic | ポケモンさんすう Pokémon Sansū |
Some sort of arithmetic operations using Pokémon as variables is shown. Examples are then given to hint as to how should the operations be made in that case. The answer is then shown, explaining how to do the math. | |
Spot The Differences | まちがいさがし Machigaisagashi |
Two sets of six Pokémon are shown scrolling from right to left, and the viewer is invited to spot three differences between the two sets of Pokémon. As time goes by, they scroll more slowly and eventually stop, to make the differences easier to spot. | |
