Comments are appreciated! I added on some brief explanations of some of the less obvious names.

I love the bonus answers. (Curse my knowledge of only Generation I!)

As long as it was Japanese, I got most (thank you browsing Bulbapedia for a year before taking this quiz!) I got lost on the Chinese, Korean, French and German ones though ... well, most anyway.

I think you might be way to generous with your alternate answers. Drowzee, for example, shouldn't get me "Sleeper." His Japanese name is "Sleep," and that's a different name. Otherwise, it's a cool quiz!

Ahaha, oh my gosh, I'm in love with Snorlax's german name. (And Incognito's a pretty spiffy name aswell) I got Charmander completely by accident, thinking it was Simsala. This was very fun. :)

Cleaned up the quiz format a bit, and added two more names. I've placed the explanations of the foreign names along with the answers instead of having a bunch of bonus answers hanging off the end. Hopefully it's easier to read this way.

Great quiz! It's really fun to guess the pokemon when you can translate what part of it means! Btw, you put Beldum as Generation IV, not III.
