“Need Pokémon Trivia Game”
PokéBrainrot 9000
“Bro discovered trivia games in 2024 and thought he was Satoshi Tajiri.”
An AI agent that quizzes users on Pokémon lore, stats, move sets, and Pokédex entries across all 9 generations.
This is not a problem — this is a Google search. Trivia apps are the 'to-do list app' of the gaming world: every bootcamp student has built one. The Pokémon IP specifically has an insane amount of existing trivia infrastructure. The only way this isn't embarrassingly redundant is if you're targeting an extremely specific niche like competitive EV/IV optimization trivia for Smogon players.
