Despite the fact Pokemon was an instant hit over 20 years ago, most of society assumed it was nothing more than a fad. Even Nintendo assumed the Pokecraze would inevitable fade. Yet, here we are decades later and Pikachu and friends has become the most lucrative video game franchise ever, surpassing titans like Super Mario.

Some gamers have become so invested in the addictive series, they can name every single Pokemon in the Kanto or Unova region... in order. Heck, if you're a massive fan, you might still be able to recite the Pokerap after all these years.

But there is one simple thing that trips up the most devoted fans; remembering which generation Pokemon appeared in. Not every little critter stands out as much as Mewtwo or Lugia so its tricky to remember where they fall in the roster. Which game did Klink debut in? Was Litwick in Gen 3 or Gen 4? Did Dedanne first appear in Ruby/Sapphire or X/Y?

If you're a fantatic of the series, you should recognise ever Pokemon on this list. But remembering which Gen they debuted in is a different story.
