Game: Pokémon Hangman v.50 (MA)

[Shadow Wolf]

ANNOUNCEMENT: mr_pikachu has created a Pokémon randomizer that will help you pick a Pokémon when it is your turn to post a puzzle. This will help make sure that every Pokémon will have an equal opportunity of coming up. Here is the link to it: The Official Pokémon Hangman Randomizer (http://pokemon-randomizer.greatnow.com/randomizer.html)

ANNOUNCEMENT: Randomizer Update! If you select an Unown plushie using the Official Pokémon Hangman Randomizer, it will also name what Unown form has been selected in parentheses, like "UNOWN (A)." Don't include this extra letter (or symbol) in the puzzle, however. Just tell the winner what the form is when you award the plushie!

I'm sure we've all played hangman when you're bored, or at least heard of it. Pokemon Hangman was first created by Mist who is associated with the Charmander Central Club in giving out "plushies" as prizes for people who guessed correctly. People began big collections of these "plushies" when this game was first introduced to PCG, and I hope that people will extend their big collections, or even start them, today.

Rules
Newest rules in Light Yellow

The rules of Hangman are fairly straight-forward. If you don't know them, then watch a few people post and we're sure you'll get the hang of it. *sigh*

But we do have specific rules that we need to follow to make the game slightly trickier. You may only post a maximum of THREE single letter guesses per person before you must guess the name of the Pokemon. This rule is subject to change. But for now it's THREE and only THREE single letter guesses per person, per round. This shouldn't be too hard to follow. If you notice someone that has made more than three single letter guesses then you should be smart and tell them so. :rolleyes:

When someone guesses the word correctly it is their turn to think of a Pokemon for others to guess. Please make sure you don't mess up for other people's sake - Double check to see if a letter is present in the Pokemon's name you're doing before you post to avoid mistakes. Also, if it's your turn, try and pick a Pokemon that hasn't already been done. You don't need to always pick evolved forms. The rarity of each plushie should remain the same so we have a nice mix. You may only win a maximum of three plushies per day - This is to prevent a certain group of people called plushie hogs grabbing all the stuff every second turn. (Each person’s “day” depends on the time listed in their forum profile. Each new day begins at midnight.)

If you win three plushies you may still play, however if you win after you've exceeded the limit you must either A) Give the plushie to someone else who is less fortunate or B) Do not take the plushie as a prize. Just make sure everyone has a fair go too!

Legendaries can be won here, but only a worker may give them out. Anyone else may not. If this were possible we'd have legendaries popping up everywhere, and they deserve a rarity. Specialized plushies may also be won here, like a Shiny Claydol, or a Pikachu with a Blue Scarf... the list continues, and only the workers may give them out. You won't know if you've won one of these very rare plushies until you win the plushie.

The only pokemon that aren't allowed to be done by the players here are: Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres, Mew, Mewtwo, Lugia, Ho-oh, Celebi, Raikou, Suicune, Entei, Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Jirachi, Deoxys, Groudon, Kyogre, Latios and Latias. All others are fine. Oh, and please don't do any Pokemon from the upcoming Diamond and Pearl games yet, either.

You are allowed a maximum of NINE incorrect guesses before it's Game Over, not per person, that includes everyone's incorrect guesses. Usually people guess the name before the nine incorrect guesses so don't worry. If no one guesses the Pokemon correctly by the quota then no one receives a plushie, and one of the workers must do the next puzzle. You don't get two turns in a row at it. You may only post one guess until the person posts an update of the current Pokemon.

Try and not be too idle, the workers would like the game to be fast moving. If you guess the Pokemon correctly and then you're going to be away for 2 weeks then don't wait until you get back because you'll most likely forget about the game. Give someone else a turn.

Right now, an incorrect letter is counted as 1 incorrect guess and incorrect Pokemon are also counted as 2 incorrect guesses. This is also subject to change later on to improve/decrease the difficulty, if any of the workers think it's needed.

Absolutely no editing your guess at the name or a letter. If you plan to edit your post and notice a late spelling mistake and want to change it then specify so. Don't use this as an excuse to change your guess because you might have someone who witnessed you with your previous guess. You'll be in big trouble then.

If it is your turn to post a puzzle, you have 24 hours to post or update the puzzle. In the case of updating, this applies to four situations:

1. When someone makes a letter guess, and it is in (or not in) the puzzle (this also applies to letter guesses in advance).

2. When someone makes a Pokemon guess, and it is wrong/right

3. When so many guesses are made that the man might hang (this also applies to letter guesses in advance as well)

4. When you have yet to post after winning a plushie

If you don't post 24 hours after any situation above, you will lose your turn, and one of the workers will start the next puzzle. (note: the 24 hour rule doesn't apply to the workers).

If you make an incorrect Pokemon guess by accident, you aren't allowed to delete it and make a new guess before the person whose turn it is updates.

When you are guessing the name of a Pokemon on anyone else's turn, you must spell the Pokemon correctly in order to win a plushie of that Pokemon. Example of this rule in action: Let's say someone guessed "Picachu" as their answer to a puzzle, and then another person afterword guesses "Pikachu", if the puzzle is indeed Pikachu, the person who posted second would get the plushie, since the first person spelt it wrong. So please try and avoid making this mistake every time you guess a Pokemon. As for a counter-example, if the man is close to hanging, a correct guess for the Pokemon that is spelled incorrectly will unfortunately make the man hang if there are 1 or 2 guesses remaining, so be careful about this.

Also, if it's your birthday, you're more than welcome to pick any plushie you want for your birthday (excluding legendaries and D/P Pokemon), however, you cannot pick a shiny plushie, as they are obviously rarer than legendaries. When it is your birthday, just post here saying what regular coloured, non-legendary plushie you want (again, you cannot choose a D/P Pokemon either until D/P are released here in North America), and one of the workers will give you your plushie on their next post.


Plushies

What is a Plushie?

Plushies are soft toys. In this game, if you guess a Pokemon correctly you receive a soft toy of the Pokemon you guessed correctly.

What do I do with a Plushie?

Umm... look at them? They aren't really used for anything, mainly just a fun collecting sort of thing. That's all. Maybe one day they might be used for something, but that's a doubtful possibility. If you have a site it might be wise to put them on there to keep track of what you have. Or keep them on a word document.

I don't like my plushie! Can I trade with someone else?

Yes, you may as long as the other person agrees. If they don't want to trade with you then you should respect that. There are many others that may want to trade. Since this game was created long ago some people may already have a decent amount of plushies they might like to trade. You could try sending a PM/IM to one of them if you would like to trade or ask for a list of their plushies. Most people who play Expedia have plushies, so try trading with one of them, or you could start playing the game to extend your collection a different way.

Can I sell my plushies? Or buy one off someone?

No, you may not sell your plushies for CCPs or Stamps.

How many plushies am I allowed to own?

As many as you can win here. Just remember you can only win a maximum of three every day!

Final Words

ONLY post the names of Pokemon. No dictionary words! That is if you haven't been bothered to read the rules, which I recommend reading. There are well over 300 Pokemon to choose from so good luck! (And again, please don’t do any Pokemon from the upcoming Diamond and Pearl games yet.)

If there's something you don't understand then ask Number1ChanseyFan, mr_pikachu, or me - we bite but we'll still help. Or maybe someone else can help. Have fun! Your hosts and hostess- mr_pikachu, Number1ChanseyFan,

Alright, Inferno_Dragon, you have the honor to post the first puzzle of this version. Good luck to everyone. ^_^

[mr_pikachu]

I'll take an R in advance for this puzzle. ^_^

[Blademaster]

And I'll take a Y.

(damn that random number generator! :swear:)

[Inferno_Dragon]

Okay, the first puzzle of this game.

There is an R but no Y. (I feel sorry for you, Blademaster. I think that random number generator doesn't like you.)

_ _ _ _ _ R _ _ _ (9)

Incorrect Guesses: Y
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8

[mr_pikachu]

Number of Pokemon through three generations: 386
Number of those Pokemon with a Y in their name: 55
Approximate odds of scoring with an advance guess of Y: 14.25%

The number generator isn't the problem. Is there a T here?

[Inferno_Dragon]

That is some impressive calculations ... and for the work, I will say there is a T in the puzzle.


_ _ _ _ T R _ _ _ (9)

Incorrect Guesses: Y
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8

[mr_pikachu]

Hmm, let me see... is this an Electrode?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Man, that was fast. Yes, it is the exploding Electrode. Here is your plushie. Wait out it explodes on contact.

And I would like a E in advance please.

[mr_pikachu]

Hey, thank you, Inferno! That's another new plushie for the collec---

*Electrode explodes*

You're a lively one, aren't you?

...Here's the next one. *coughs up smoke*

Good luck!

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is it Elekid?

[mr_pikachu]

Precisely! The Elekid is yours, Inferno! Well played.

[Blademaster]

The number generator isn't the problem.

You're absolutely right - you are the problem for making the Pokemon Randomizer (or as I call it, the Kick-O-Matic) choose one of the other 85.75% on this particular occasion.

Now, I would like a B.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Another plushie and sorry Blademaster, no B in this puzzle.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: B
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8

[mr_pikachu]

Let's try an R here.

[Blademaster]

Damn you, uncooperative Randomizer!

(goes to kick it)

...Wait.




Hey, don't kick the Randomizer! :mad2:

(throws a rock at the Randomizer instead)

Hunk of crap... how about a C?

[Inferno_Dragon]

A Hit (no pun here ) and a miss.

_ _ _ _ _ _ R _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: B, C

[Inferno_Dragon]

Nope, sorry it isn't that pokemon.


_ _ _ _ _ _ R _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: B, C, Magikarp
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 5

[mr_pikachu]

An E should provide the final revelation.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Yes, it shall.

_ _ _ _ _ _ R E (8)

Incorrect Guesses: B, C, Magikarp
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 5

[Blademaster]

Who's that Pokemon?

It's Quagsire!

[Inferno_Dragon]

Congratulations, you are so right. Here is your Quagsire plushie.

And I would like an E in advance.

[mr_pikachu]

Good one, Blademaster! I'll take an R in advance.

[Blademaster]

Well, thanks, gang! Now I-

...Wait.

...

I ALREADY HAVE A QUAGSIRE!!!!! :swear:

(chucks it in the 'TRADE NOW!!!' pile)

What a waste... and I beat my record on that guess, too... 27 seconds... Damn it. :sweat:

...OK, next.

[mr_pikachu]

Let's begin with an R.

[Shadow Wolf]

I'll start with an I.

[Lady Vulpix]

And I'll guess an N.

Hey, Blademaster! Would you like to trade your spare Quagsire plushie for my spare Growlithe plushie?

[Blademaster]

Growlithe, huh? That's a new one for me... OK, Gabi, you have yourself a deal!

(sticks a red bow on Quagsire plushie and sits it on the table)

I'll just leave that here for now; in the meantime, how about a D?

[Inferno_Dragon]

There is no N in the puzzle, but D, I, and R are present.

_ _ D D I _ R _ _ (9)

Incorrect Guesses: N
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8

(Should be easy.)

[mr_pikachu]

It is. This has got to be a Teddiursa.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Yes, here is your Teddiursa Plushie and I would like an E in advance.

Ah, thank you, Inferno! That's another new plushie for the collection!

Here's the next one.

[Blademaster]

Gee, this is a toughie...

Is it... ummmmm...

...hrmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Snorlax?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Yes, it is the heavy Pokemon Snorlax. Here is your .... plushie.

Man, this thing weighs a ton. Don't drop thing thing on your foot people.

And a A in advance for me please.

[Blademaster]

OK!

...Aw, crap, another duplicate... Uh, Gabi...?

_ _ _ _ _ _ (6)

Wrong: A

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is there an E in the puzzle?

[mr_pikachu]

[Blademaster]

Nope! ^_^

[mr_pikachu]

There's an 80% chance of at least one P being present.

What are the odds of half the puzzle being P's?

_ _ P P _ P (6)

Wrong: A, E, R, S

And it's a deal! I sent it via air mail.

(cargo plane flies overhead; drops a huge green plushie with a parachute attached)

Well, that went pretty well.

(parachute rips from the weight; plushie plummets and crushes Randomizer)

****!!

...

Good thing we have a spare... :sweat:

[mr_pikachu]

*pulls out loaded AK-47*

Yes, it's a good thing you're going to build a spare.

Anyway, this is a Hoppip, right?

[Blademaster]

O_O''''''''''

(pulls out toolbox; fixes Randomizer at cartoonish speed)

There! Good as new! ^_^;;;;;;

(kicks a spare gear out of sight)

And yes, it's a Hoppip! Enjoy!

:heh:

[mr_pikachu]

*grabs wrench and throws it at Blademaster's head*

Fix it right.

Anyway, thanks for the Hoppip! That's my... third one, so it's very up for trade.

Here's the next one!

Hmmmm... parallel to the automator dial... no, that's not it... ah, here we go.

(blast of ash in his face)

(cough)

Is there an S?

[mr_pikachu]

You'd be best served to focus on your work. Play can come after you've fixed the Randomizer.


_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: S
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8

[Blademaster]

I already fixed it, genius - otherwise you wouldn't have this puzzle I'm trying to guess right now!

OK, now, let's see... red to red and blue to bl-

KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT! !!!!!!!!!!

No, but the Randomizer does. And I randomized a few puzzles in advance just in case you decided to do something foolish like this.

Incorrect Guesses: S, R

[Blademaster]

(sigh)

Whatever, can I at least have an instruction manual for this thing?

(gunshot)

I guess not. :sweat:

(removes circuit board)

Now, let's see... this goes here... and that thing connects there...

(pulls out a small tab)

"Made in China"? Huh...

(replaces tab; switches a few gears around)

OK, try it now.

And give me an O.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Hey, I did it! :dance:

[mr_pikachu]

Yeah, you did it. You activated the self-destruct mechanism!

Here's your Houndoom. *runs away screaming*

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is there an A in the puzzle?

Now, take it away Mr. Note, and I'd like an R in advance before Bri can guess it.

Thanks, Mr. Note! :wave:

Good one, Louis! I'll take an S in advance.

Why would there be dice in a Hangman puzzle?

...Is there an L here?

[Shadow Wolf]

Or maybe a K, right?



Oh, and Louis, I could swap for that Yanma. My trade list follows.


Corsola
Cubone

(Fifteen pokemon names later)

Umbreon
Venomoth


That Umbreon intrigues me...

So what do you say, is it OK to trade my Yanma for your Umbreon?

[mr_pikachu]

...Wow, you actually counted the number of Pokemon on my trade list? :o

Anyway, Umbreon for Yanma sounds good. Let's make it a trade! ^_^

[Blademaster]

Why would there be dice in a Hangman puzzle?

The same reason there'd be a self-destruct mechanism on a Randomizer. :mad2:

_ _ _ K _ L L (7)

Wrong: A, E, I, R, T

Too bad... I kinda wanted to hang this little *****...

Oh, and do you still have that spare Hoppip, Bri? It'd go very well with my Skiploom...

[mr_pikachu]

Well, does Hoppip for Totodile sound good to you?

And I'll guess a Duskull here.

[Blademaster]

Nope, sorry, it's actually Rodkill, the Pancake Pokemon. You lose. :p

.....

OK, fine, it's Duskull. Here.

(tosses plushie; hits someone in the background in the head)

Oops...

And no, I'm not trading Totodile - he goes with my Feraligatr. I'll bold the plushies that I'm willing to trade.

[mr_pikachu]

Oh. Well, um, you might want to take "all up for trade" out of your sig, then.

Anyway, thanks for the Duskull! That's another new plushie for the collection!

Here's the next one.

EDIT: What about Noctowl for Hoppip, Blademaster?

[Blademaster]

Deal - that plushie scares me, anyway.

Is there an E?

[mr_pikachu]

Thanks for the trade, Blademaster!

Porygon?

[mr_pikachu]

Indeed! The Porygon plushie is yours, Blademaster.

Heh... now I really doubled my investment.

Next!

[mr_pikachu]

Let's begin with an R.

[mr_pikachu]

Hmm... is there an S here?

[Blademaster]

OK, now you blew it.

_ _ _ R _ _ (6)

Wrong: S
Left: 8

[mr_pikachu]

A guess of A should clear things up.

(This was actually a plan; guesses of S and A consecutively given an R in the fourth spot were certain to reveal the answer.)

[Blademaster]

.....Huh?

_ _ A R _ _ (6)

Wrong: S
Left: 8

[mr_pikachu]

Perhaps my guess of Fearow will clarify things.

[Blademaster]

....No, not really.

But it is Fearow.

(pushes Randomizer button; Fearow plushie pops out)

There. Go nuts.

[mr_pikachu]

Ah, thank you for the Fearow, Blademaster! That's my second one, so it's up for trade!

Here's the next one.


_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: N/A

Good luck!

[Blademaster]

That's my second one, so it's up for trade!

Eh, I have that spare Porygon, if you need one... :rolleyes:

And is there an N?

[mr_pikachu]

Well, I already have a Porygon. But would you like to trade my Fearow for your Remoraid?


_ _ _ N _ _ _ _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: N/A
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 9

[Blademaster]

Ehhhhhh.... OK. Fish annoy me, anyway. And so do moochers. And Remoraid is a mooching fish, so...

(drop-kicks Remmy out of the collection)

See ya! :wave:

And I want an O.

[mr_pikachu]

Here's the deal. If you want one, you have to take the other. That's the rule.


_ O _ N _ O _ _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: N/A

[Blademaster]

Oh, so I can have Fearow and Remmy, then? Fair enough.

(snatches both plushies)

Sweet. :D

And is there a U here?

I was talking about the Os... not the plushies. >_>

[Blademaster]

Well, you should've made that clearer. :rolleyes:

And why are you still awake, anyway? Don't you have school or something? :eek:

Anyway...

Who's that Pokemon?

It's Houndour!

[mr_pikachu]

Humans don't really need sleep. It's nothing more than an illusion crafted by the government to render us unconscious so that they can easily capture us and perform their experiments!

...

Yeah, it's Houndour. Good one!

[Shadow Wolf]

Nice one Blade, congratulations.

Oh, and thanks for the trade mr_pikachu! ^_^




...Wow, you actually counted the number of Pokemon on my trade list? :o


Well, "there is an inherent hopelessness in boredom; people will expend considerable effort to prevent or remedy it, yet in many circumstances it is accepted as an inevitable suffering to be endured. A common way to escape boredom is through creative thoughts or daydreaming."

Oh, a few choices here, but I'm going with Electrode

[mr_pikachu]

It could also be an Exeggcute.

[Blademaster]

Yes, it is Exeggcute...

No, it's Electrode. Sorry. :p

...

OK, it's too soon for this bit again. Eggy it is. Enjoy.

(hands over a half a dozen pink eggs)

The other half dozen will cost you extra.

[mr_pikachu]

Better luck next time, Louis. And Blademaster, thanks for the Exeggcute! That's my second one, so it's up for trade!

Here's the next one.

[mr_pikachu]

Quit playing Hangman and go to Vegas!


_ I _ _ O _ _ O _ (9)

Incorrect Guesses: E, R
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 7

[Shadow Wolf]

The difference between Hangman and Vegas is that, altough the prizes in Vegas are real(and I can win money), in Hangman you get something that you can't win at Vegas, Friends, real friends.

As for my guess, I'm going with Hitmontop.

[mr_pikachu]

Aww, how sweet, Louis! Since you've made such a kind remark, I'll award you this Hitmontop plushie!

(Well, there's also the fact that you guessed correctly...)

[Shadow Wolf]

Thanks mr_pikachu, this plushie is a new one to me, and also one of my favorites.

OK, time to do it!(no pun intended)

Here you go!

[Shadow Wolf]

You don't have to guess vowels when you guess correctly, right?

_ _ _ R _ S( 6 )

Incorrect: none

Remaining: 9

[mr_pikachu]

I see you've caught onto my philosophy. ^_^

Hmm... is this a Lapras?

[Lady Vulpix]

Ah, you ninja'd me to that guess, Brian.

[Shadow Wolf]

This one could have also been a Tauros, but it doesn't matter now.

Congratulations on guessing eight minutes and eleven seconds faster mr_pikachu, and better luck next time Lady Vulpix.

*hands over a big Lapras plushie*

I don't know how I was able to carry that plushie.

Anyway, I in advance please

[mr_pikachu]

Ah, thank you, Louis! And Gabi, maybe you'll grab the next one.

May as well take a shot for the legendary... is it Celebi?

[Shadow Wolf]

There is only a 14.285714 chance for this one to be a Celebi, you know!











But, you know mr_pikachu, you have always overcome the odds(well, almost all the time), and today it's not the exception. Congratulations, you have won a Celebi plushie.

*hands over the legendary plushie*

It's kinda odd that two legendary plushies are given in a row. :ninja:

Anyway, I in advance please.

[mr_pikachu]

All right! Thank you for the Celebi, Louis! That's definitely a new one for the collection. ^_^

Here's the next one!

Congratulations Blade, and don't worry about that mr_pikachu.

As you said to me a couple of weeks(or months, I can't remember) ago: "Life Happens ^_^"

I in advance please

[Blademaster]

Here, here, Bri - not even you can be at TPM all the time...

BTW, anybody want a spare Porygon? Duplicate plushies annoy me.

If anyone has a spare Mareep they'd like to trade, then that's great, too. :D

[Shadow Wolf]

Sorry my friend, but no repeated plushies on my list.

Anyway, can I have an O?

Enjoy your new plushie; I'll take an R in advance, kthnxbai!

It was all I could afford. :sweat:

Great job mr_pikachu, congratulations. :yes:

Hmm, I still got a long way to go!

Anyway, I in advance please

[mr_pikachu]

Yeah, that's number 200! Big thank you, Blademaster. I appreciate the thought of the balloon, too.
