About This Quiz
From the flame-powered Fire-type Pokemon to the creepy-looking Ghost-type Pokemon, Generation 1 is filled with a slew of interesting and intimidating pocket monsters, each with their own unique abilities and characteristics.

It's time to see how many Pokedex entries you completed on your journey through the region by listing the types of the Pokemon you encountered. That's if you are up for the challenge, of course. After all, this quiz won't be easy. From common Pokemon like Rattata to rarer encounters like Articuno, there's plenty here to dig into.
