The sixth generation of Pokémon arrive soon with the Oct. 12 release of Pokémon X and Y. With more than 600 characters total, we can't help but wonder who really can catch 'em all, let alone name them.
To get to the bottom of this, we put New Yorkers to the test, quizzing them on how many Pokémon they could identify. The twist? How does pop culture knowledge size up to historical smarts? We asked the same people to name as many U.S. presidents as they could right after.
The results may surprise you.
