This Official Pokémon Quiz Reveals Which Pokémon You Are

The world is filled with unsolved mysteries. How old is the universe? What’s the meaning of life? If I were a Pokémon, what would I be?

That last one, in particular, is an indecipherable conundrum that no scientific mind could (or would want to) ever answer. In fact, only The Pokémon Company itself has the power to truly put an end to the speculation and, as luck would have it, our prayers have been answered. Well sort of, at least. As per the discovery made by Sora News 24, Japanese Pokémon Center stores have begun using a rather unique type of recruitment process when hiring new employees.

Presumably, before granting traditional interviews, the employer provides candidates with a specially-tailored Pokéquiz that aims to determine the recipient’s personality profile. “There are currently over 800 species of Pokémon,” reads the translated questionnaire, adding “All of them have their own unique strengths and weaknesses, but they all get along with each other.” Sharing that same mantra for its employees, the questionnaire then poses a series of questions for potential hopefuls looking to score a Pokémon Center gig.

Sadly, the test is only available in Japanese and attempts by fans to use Google Translate have been a little unreliable, to say the least…
