Protip: each of the things has a (occasionally humorous) description, so don't just blow past everything because you're excited to find a use for the 500 Pokémon you had memorized by heart ten years ago (no personal experience involved here at all /s).

Would be cool to have a score like how many times did you play and how many did you guess right.

Fun coincidence for MATLAB programmers out there:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mathworks.com&#x2F;help&#x2F;matlab&#x2F;ref&#x2F;numel.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mathworks.com&#x2F;help&#x2F;matlab&#x2F;ref&#x2F;numel.html</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Numel_(Pok%C3%A9mon)" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Numel_(Pok%C3%A9mon)</a>

I was thinking about naming some of my npm libraries after pokemons! But then found all of the good ones were already taken, so I switched to Spanish&#x2F;Japanese words (I&#x27;m a Spaniard living in Tokyo)

What happens when a big data project names itself after a Pokemon?!

Ha, I love these. Shamelessly plugging this PWA I recently made that allows you to create your own: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;partyquizzes.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;partyquizzes.com</a><p>(Make your own at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;partyquizzes.com&#x2F;quizzes&#x2F;create" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;partyquizzes.com&#x2F;quizzes&#x2F;create</a>)

This should probably have a year tag on it or something. The last commit was in 2016: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;pixelastic&#x2F;pokemonorbigdata" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;pixelastic&#x2F;pokemonorbigdata</a> The brunt of the commits seem to be from 2015.<p>It has been posted multiple times under the same name before:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=7683428" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=7683428</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10622752" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10622752</a>
