About this quiz
Drug makers and game designers face the same problem: inventing a short, catchy name that nobody has used before. The results can be hard to tell apart.
- The board is split evenly: 20 medicines and 20 Pokémon.
- Each row shows what the name really is once you answer: the active ingredient or the Pokédex number.
- One key press is a full answer, so there is no need to press Enter.
- The names come up in a different order each day.
