About This Quiz

Welcome to the world of Pokemon, where you can become a skilled trainer or dedicate your life to helping Pokemon! Anyone who watched the Pokemon anime is familiar with the many types of trainers, professionals and general characters within the show. Each one has their own interesting and quirky personality that made them who they are. Love them or hate them; they all had significant roles that have stuck with us for a long time. Have you ever wondered who you're most like?

It's time to imagine yourself within the world of Pokemon. Who would you be? What would you do? Would you spend your time with Pokemon? Just because it's a world where you exist with these incredible creatures doesn't mean that you'll always spend your time working with them. But if you do, then you probably have many things in common with most of the main characters. We hope that you don't have a fear of bug Pokemon like Misty does! If you do, then you'll have to hope that Ash will catch it.
