YIS PokeThread + PokeQuiz

[lr2k]

How it is going, fellow members of the YourInteractiveStory Boards.

I was wondering as to what degree people here play the Pokemon games, specifically the Fourth Generation but any other is sufficient.

So, to get things going, I have created a little quiz to test everyone's knowledge of the Pokemon universe and see under what tier your are. The only rule is that you do not use any reference website/book to help you with any question. There is no reason to cheat, for the test is just to see what you know. (Please do not guess; skewing your score will not make you look any cooler, and there is also a penalty for guessing).
