How to Play
Before getting started, it's important everyone knows the rules. First, make sure everyone playing has a pencil and a piece of paper to record their answers. After that, select one player to be the "game head." The game head is in charge of asking all the questions, breaking the game into 15-question rounds, and keeping track of points. That said, for every question a player gets right, they earn one point. Naturally, the player with the most points at the end of the game wins!
Also, if you and your friends can't get together in person, you can play via text messages. To do so, have one player create a group chat and send the questions via text.
Now get ready for an intense night of all things Pokémon trivia!
