The Guardian article about Pluto, with the quote from Paul Byrne, associate professor of earth, environmental and planetary ssciences at Washington University in St. Louis: "There are 1,025 official Pokemon species, and I've never heard a kid say that's too many".

I don't even buy Pokemon cards but I still wanna take the quiz to know if I have enough knowledge to buy Pokemon cards.

Various news articles headlines from Google News reporting on a Japanese card game store implementing a policy to test people buying Pokemon cards to pass a Pokemon quiz in order to combat scalping. This is under the Technology tag because apparently the physical Pokemon TCG is considered technology according to Google.
