We ask the most important question in the universe: Pokémon or drug? We bet you that you can’t assign all the Pokémon correctly.

You may be familiar with this: you’re sitting in the doctor’s waiting room, boredly leafing through the brochures, and suddenly you stumble across a name that sounds suspiciously like a Pokémon. Or was it the other way around? Sometimes the line between Japanese pocket monster creations and pharmaceutical miracle cures is frighteningly fluid.

Take our quiz and find out whether you should become a Pokémon professor or a pharmacist. Have fun – and don’t worry, if you have any side effects, just ask your doctor, pharmacist or trusted Pokémon trainer!

The ultimate challenge for Pokémon trainers and hypochondriacs

Snorlax, Charmander, Caterpillar – of course, these are Pokémon. With these names you immediately recognize the inspiration behind them. But what about Kecleon? Sounds like an allergy remedy, but it’s actually a chameleon-like Pokémon. And Palladon? This is a painkiller, not a cute monster to collect.

Can you allocate them correctly?

We at GIGA are now presenting you with the most important decision of your life: Pokémon or medication? In our quiz you have to prove that you can tell the difference between game freak creations and pharmaceutical innovations.

We bet even die-hard Pokémon fans will be sweating. Because let’s be honest: If your doctor prescribed “Kaguron” for you, would you be suspicious?
