Are you a true Pokémon fan? If you think you know your Bulbasaurs from your Mudkips, it’s time to put your skills to the test with Who’s That Pokémon?. This engaging and interactive guessing game brings a creative twist to the Pokémon universe, making it the perfect activity for players of all ages.
At its core, Who’s That Pokémon? is all about identifying Pokémon based on minimal visual cues. Players are shown a blacked-out silhouette or a distorted version of a Pokémon and must guess its name before the full image is revealed. This simple yet addictive format draws inspiration from the iconic segment in the original Pokémon anime, where viewers were asked to guess the mystery Pokémon during commercial breaks.
With hundreds of creatures from across multiple generations, the game spans the entire Pokémon universe—from the classics like Jigglypuff and Snorlax to modern additions like Annihilape and Tinkaton.
Gameplay can vary depending on the version you're playing, but the core idea remains the same: recognize the Pokémon using only its shape or partial details. Once you submit your guess, the full image and name of the Pokémon are revealed, letting you see if your instincts were right.
There are many ways to enjoy the game:

Mobile apps with increasing difficulty levels
Printable cards for party games or classroom use
Group challenges where friends compete in real-time
