The #quiz channel is where the ''Who's That Pokémon?'' game takes place. VortexBot will announce in the ''#general'' channel and here when the game is about to begin.

~~When the game begins~~, VortexBot ~~will show the chat~~ a ~~card has~~ a Pokémon~~'s silhouette, as seen here on the right~~ and ~~everyone must~~ type ~~what~~ Pokémon ~~they think it is~~.

Each round, VortexBot shows a silhouette of a Pokémon. You must be quick and type the name of that Pokémon as fast as you can. The round will end once somebody gets the correct answer. Every correct answer will earn you a raffle ticket for a prize draw at the end of the quiz. The quiz lasts for 10 rounds.

~~While~~ the ~~initial question will display if a Pokémon has punctuation in the name, it~~ is ~~not necessary to use these in your answer~~, ~~nor~~ is ~~it required to use capitalization of letters. For example~~, if the ~~answer is ''~~[[~~Arceus (Electric)~~]]'~~' a correct answer would also be~~ ''~~arceus electric~~'' ~~or even~~ '~~'arceuselectric'' which can significantly cut down some users typing time.~~

Once the quiz is over, a raffle will be held. A random ticket is selected, and the person holding that ticket will win a [[Promo Codes|promo code]] for the [[Cosmog]] that was announced at the start of the quiz.

'''Tips:'''

~~Once a correct answer has been submitted by someone,~~ VortexBot ~~will start a countdown of 1.5 seconds. In~~ this 1.~~5 seconds, anyone who also gets~~ the ~~correct answer will be accepted. Everyone with a correct answer~~ in ~~this time-frame and the original correct answer that started the timer will be awarded a single quiz point~~.

The channel will be silenced when VortexBot is talking and you won't be able to type anything when this happens. This allows everyone to see the silhouette before the answers start to flood in.

~~This process~~ will ~~be repeated until either~~ a ~~single or multiple users have 10 points. If multiple users end up on 10 points~~, it ~~will start tie-breaker rounds and continue~~ to ~~do so until there~~ is ~~only one person left with more points than everyone else~~.

While the initial question will display if a Pokémon has punctuation in the name, it is not necessary to use these in your answer, nor is it required to use capitalization of letters. For example, if the answer is ''[[Arceus (Electric)]]'' a correct answer would also be ''arceus electric'' or even ''arceuselectric'' which can significantly cut down some users typing time.

When there is only a single user left over 10 points and with more points than everyone else, the game will end and award that winning user with a [[Promo Codes|promo code]] for the [[Cosmog]] that was announced before the game started.

'''Note:''' ''Currently, the quiz runs every hour, on the hour but it is not guaranteed to remain on this schedule.''

The discord-plays-vortex channel is Vortex's take on the "social experiment" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitch_Plays_Pok%C3%A9mon Twitch Plays Pokémon] in which users would play the game using the chat and interact with a bot. discord-plays-vortex is the same in this respect but instead of playing a handheld Pokémon game, the chatroom users are playing Pokémon Vortex.
