I. W h a t i s t h e P e r s o n a l i t y T e s t ?
=============================================================================
The personality test is, in reality, a test that will determine which Pokémon
you will be in the game. The questions on the test have nature values; the
most nature values you get by choosing answers will be the nature the game
will tell you. The nature, as well as gender, will determine your starter.
The list of Pokémon available, along with the nature necessary to get it, is
as follows:
Once you have determined your starter, you may choose your partner. Your
partner may be any of the starters, excluding Meowth, Skitty, and Munchlax.
However, it should be noted that your partner may not be of the same type as
your starter. For example, if you chose Bulbasaur, then Chikorita, Treecko,
and Turtwig are not available as partners.
=============================================================================
II. T h e Q u e s t i o n s
=============================================================================
The 64 total questions you may see on the test have been arranged by nature
values below. They have also been labeled with which Pokémon can be obtained
through that nature. CTRL + F is your friend if you're looking for anything
specific.
