Whether you watched Ash make his way through all the gym leaders on television, or you tore it up from Pewter City to Viridian City yourself, we all loved the classic, memorable parade of Pokemon that captured our hearts and battled for glory. If you remember the first Pokemon movie in theaters, the complementary shiny mew card that came with its viewing, and the amazing unveiling of golden Pokemon cards at Burger King, then this quiz is for you.
Whether you played Pokemon Stadium on the Nintendo 64, collected the cards in those sweet plastic collectors books, or you went hard on Game-boy, we’re talking about you, Poke-fans. We know only true Pokemon Masters will be able to name all these original Pokemon.
