50 free Pokemon X and Y trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Pokémon X and Y opened the sixth generation of the series, trading flat sprites for a fully three-dimensional world. The Kalos region brought new starters, a new type and Mega Evolution, a mid-battle transformation that gave old favourites a second life. This quiz follows the adventure from the first steps to the Hall of Fame: Kalos and its landmarks, Gym Leaders and villains, the Pokémon that debuted here, and the features that changed how players trade and battle. It also covers the quizzes hidden inside the games themselves, including the ones that pay out TMs. It suits anyone who played through Kalos at release, as well as fans arriving from the anime or from the series' later return to Lumiose City. Questions run from easy openers to deep cuts on TMs and the post-game.
