Hello all, welcome again to the monthly Nintentube Quizbowl. This months quiz is based on the DS classics (and arguably the best Pokemon games to date), Heart Gold and Soul Silver. The games were released on 12th September 2009 in Japan so consider this quiz our tribute to its 10 year anniversary.

Format

As before, PM the answers to me ( u/joejs16 ) by the 8th of September. Your answers should look like this:

1. ANSWER

2. ANSWER

3. ANSWER etc.

​

Reward

No prizes, but the winner gets a Quizbowl Champion User Flair for the month and can also have a video of their choice pinned to the sub-reddit for 3 days. In the event of a tie, all joint winners can choose a video. Due to the way reddit works, only one can be pinned at a time, so you'll have to take turns.
