Quiz Time: What Kind of Pokemon Are You?

Back when I was a kid there was this soundtrack for the Pokemon cartoon that had a whole bunch of songs that were supposedly from the show. I certainly don’t remember hearing any of them, but that was okay because the soundtrack was pretty catchy. One of those songs was called “What Kind of Pokemon Are You?” and posing that very question was the whole premise of the song. Well it popped into my head earlier so I thought it would be fun to take a quiz in the spirit of the song.

This quiz will be to decide your Pokemon type! Now there are a total of 18 different types in the current generation of Pokemon, so that’s a lot of possibilities. Luckily, I was able to sum it up with just one multiple choice question. So let’s get started!

THE RESULTS
The quiz is finally over, and now it’s time to discuss the results. First, look at question nineteen. If you answered either the first or second option, you are actually a person and are not a Pokemon at all. So the other eighteen questions don’t reflect anything about your Pokemon typing.

Okay, okay, at this point some of you are probably experiencing legitimate feelings of hatred for me. But seriously, there still is a quiz here. Third time’s the charm, so this quiz has to be legitimate. No fake outs, no goofing off, just me asking you questions to decide your Pokemon typing.

Each question will ask you to pick between two options. Based on what option you choose, you’ll be redirected to another question. Just keep going, following directions until you get to the end.

THE RESULTS
Result One: Ghost – You are one of the rarest Pokemon types, with power over psychic and over other ghosts like yourself. Just watch out for the forces of darkness, because believe it or not, they’ve seen scarier things than you.

Result Two: Fighting – You’re a type of Pokemon with incredible offensive strength, able to tear apart normal types, dark types, steel types, rock types, and ice types with ease. Of course, it’s hard to reach enemies that can fly, and the psychic’s power of the mind will always overcome the power of your body.

Result Three: Normal – One of the most common Pokemon types, people tend to sleep on you. Your attacks can be powerful, and fighting type is your only real weakness. Just don’t mess with ghosts, because you lack the power to touch them.

Result Four: Electric – Pikachu! Actually, there are way more electric types, and like the rest of them you can easily overcome water and flying Pokemon. Your only weakness is ground, so be sure to watch out for enemies from the earth.

Result Five: Fire – One of three starter types, fire is rare and has the power to melt ice and steel while turning grass and bug to ash. Just be careful that water, rock, and ground types don’t douse your inner flame.

Result Six: Steel – When it comes to defense, no one can touch you. Your metallic strength easily overcomes rock, ice, and fairy. Just be careful around the fire, ground, and fighting types, because they can tear through your armor with ease.

Result Seven: Poison – Crafty and slow, you whittle your enemies down over time. This careful strategy is particularly effective against grass and fairy Pokemon, but ground and psychic types are wise to your clever tricks.

Result Eight: Flying – The sky is your domain, and you are able to fly circles around many other types. Fighting, grass, and bug all stand no chance against you. Just be careful about electric, rock, and ice – they can clip your wings with ease.

Result Nine: Bug – People always underestimate bugs, but though you start out small, once you’ve gone through your pupa stage you become something truly terrifying. Psychic, dark, and grass types fear you, but keep your eyes open for fire, rock, and flying type Pokemon.

Result Ten: Dragon – Considered by some to be the most powerful Pokemon type, you’ve got so much strength that even other dragons cower before you. Of course, ice can cool your fiery breath, and fairy Pokemon are just too darn charming for you to fight against.

Result Eleven: Fairy – The youngest type in the bunch, fairies are whimsical and fun but pack a punch that some might underestimate. Even mighty dragons fear fairies, as well as fighting and dark types. Just be careful about poison and steel Pokemon – these man-made forces overwhelm your magical cuteness.

Result Twelve: Grass – Plants and flowers may not seem intimidating, but they can overwhelm a civilization if given time and opportunity. You have the advantage against the forces of water, rock, and ground, but be wary: fire, flying, bug, poison, and ice all wield power over you.

Result Thirteen: Ground – You come from the earth itself, commanding the force of earthquakes and the bones of the fallen. Your power to sunder the land overcomes types like rock, steel, electric, and poison. However, water, grass, and ice can stop you in your tracks.

Result Fourteen: Rock – Not to be confused with ground, your strength comes from the land but you are separate from it. This gives you unique power over different types – bugs and flying types fear you, as well as fire and ice Pokemon. However, though your hide is strong, Pokemon of the steel, water, grass, ground, and fighting types all pose a threat to you.

Result Fifteen: Psychic – You command the power of the mind, using your brain to read the minds of others and cripple their wills. You anticipate the crafty methods of poison types and overwhelm the frail minds of fighting types, but the powers of bug, darkness, and ghost can overwhelm you.

Result Sixteen: Dark – You call on powers beyond yourself, upon the forces hidden in the dark. Even mighty enemies like ghosts and psychic Pokemon fear your insidious powers. But be wary, because the light of fairies, the strength of fighting, and the craftiness of bugs can stop your dark power in its tracks.

Result Seventeen: Ice – Beautiful, fragile, and cold, you have the power to chill many Pokemon to the bone. Grass, flying, even the mighty dragon all tremble before you awesome power. But with strength comes frailty; fire, rock, fighting, steel, all have the power to shatter you if given the opportunity.

Result Eighteen: Water – You flow through the sea in elegant patterns, yet smash against the land with pulverizing force. Your overwhelming persistence whittles down rocks, ground, and flame, but be wary of grass and electricity – they can stop your endless wave once and for all.

There you have it, folks, the real quiz! I know it wasn’t quite as glorious as the usual quizzes, but let’s face it – there are so many types in Pokemon – plus the possibility of dual types – that building a quiz around the idea is a pretty weighty proposition. If you had fun regardless of the fake quizzes, I commend you! I promise that tomorrow’s Fanfic Friday will be infinitely less troll-ish.
