Same here (although my living dex has since been deposited in Bank). I was super psyched to take this quiz and then was immediately disappointed by the first question. Too bad, coulda been funny.
The first one, "Crebase", turned out to be a Pokemon, but that's its Japanese name (クレベース); it's Avalugg in English, which sounds a lot less like actual technologies like Couchbase or Graphbase.
Maybe they are implying that "big data" is trendy at the moment? As far as I've seen on HN over the last year or so, lots of people are talking about what is and what is not big data.
Or the company who made the post uses #bigdata on twitter. In case you missed the "if you got 100% send us your resume" on the last page.
My experience with MongoDB (granted, this was five years ago) was with it losing half my dataset for no particular reason, so I can certainly relate with the quote (and found it very funny).
Mongo got a bad rap a few years ago about taking somewhat liberal stance about the integrity of the data stored inside and during sharding/replication.
There were personal accounts about lots of lost/corrupted data.
The final page says that if you got them all right you should apply to Big Data Borat Labs. If you're learning from this, you're an idiot (or a genius, the line is thin).

Disclaimer: I created the (currently) most popular browser-based Pokemon fan game. So it's pretty sad.
Just because it's a meme doesn't make it right.
Consider the accent affected by #BigDataBorat...
Using the americanized Japanese names is not right. Either use the native Japanese names in the correct alphabet, or use the English translated names.

Can anyone elaborate why he said so?

Yeah, indeed it's funny (because I know about Hadoop), but for someone that's learning with this, it could be taken as a serious statement.
...that person better not exist.
