Game: Pokémon Hangman v.51 (MA)

[mr_pikachu]

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, shinypkmnchaser, or me - we bite but we'll still help. Or maybe someone else can help. Have fun! Your hosts and hostess- mr_pikachu, Number1ChanseyFan, shinypkmnchaser

The man has been hung a total of thirty-three times
Hangman makes up approximately 1/5 of the total posts in PCG since last year; considering this game began in very late April

[Blademaster]

All right! I got me a Lapras! That's a new one for-

Uh, never mind.

Yes, I should.

And yes, it's Heracross. Enjoy.

And please don't impale yourself on its horn - I don't wanna get sued and have to flee to Mexico again. :sweat:

[mr_pikachu]

Ah, thank you, Blademaster! That's a new plushie for the collection!

Hmmmmmmm...

Oh!

Could this be the rock an' rollin' Omanyte?

[mr_pikachu]

Hooray, a new plushie! About time!

(puts Omanyte plushie on shelf)

_ _ _ _ _ _ (6)

Wrong: R

Yep! ^^

DING!

(Sealeo plushie pops out of Randomizer)

Enjoy. And watch the tusks - they're sharp.

[mr_pikachu]

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

Here's the next one.


_ _ _ _ _ _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: N/A
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 9


Good luck!

[Blademaster]

OK, I'm going to start off by guessing an S.

[mr_pikachu]

Leading off with a hit!


S _ _ _ _ _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: N/A
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 9

[Blademaster]

Aw, crap, not this again...

(sigh)

OK, OK, let's see if a T is here somewhere.

[mr_pikachu]

I spy, with my little eye... something wrong.


S _ _ _ _ _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: T
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8

[Blademaster]

OK... my last letter guess will be...

An A.

[mr_pikachu]

Weak.


S _ _ _ _ _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: T, A
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 7

[Blademaster]

OK, process of elimination time...

Is this Swinub?

[mr_pikachu]

Eliminated!


S _ _ _ _ _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: T, A, Swinub
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 5

[Blademaster]

Well, that's a relief...

OK, so...

Oh, wait!

Could this be Spoink?

[mr_pikachu]

A winner is you.

The Spoink is yours, Blademaster!

[Blademaster]

Cool, thanks Bri!

(turns to camera; holds up Spoink plushie)

"Spoink: The other white meat!" :yes:

(turns back; puts Spoink on shelf)

Next!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [8]

Wrong: Gear

[mr_pikachu]

Let's begin with the usual R.

[Blademaster]

...

(looks back)

Why did I listen to the Randomizer again...? :grumble:

R _ _ _ R _ _ _ [8]

Wrong: Finland
Left: Bob Barker

[mr_pikachu]

Because the point of a randomizer is to pick something random, not just something you want to be picked.

Is this a Remoraid?

[Blademaster]

Oh, is that the reason?

Hmm... mr_pikachu made the Randomizer...

...And mr_pikachu has replaced Kyle as 'Official Hangman plushie whore of TPM...'

Coincidence?

I don't think so. ;)

And yes, it's a Remoraid. Enjoy the stupid ugly mooching fish.

(hucks it)

[mr_pikachu]

Interesting argument. Especially considering that I keep getting repeat plushies, when I'd rather get new ones to complete my collection.

Nevertheless, thanks for the Remoraid, Blademaster! It's up for trade.

Here's the next one.


_ _ _ _ _ _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: N/A
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 9


Good luck!

[Blademaster]

Yeah, well... That's probably just to throw people off. I am so smrt. :D

Now, is there an E?

[mr_pikachu]

Was your poor guess to throw people off, as well?


_ _ _ _ _ _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: E
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8

[Blademaster]

Wha...?

Shut up.

And give me an S.

[mr_pikachu]

Ah, but if I shut up, you wouldn't get to see your guess in the puzzle!

...Wait...


_ _ _ _ _ _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: E, S
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 7

[Blademaster]

Grrrrr... stop taunting me with your logic! :swear:

OK, I'll guess an A now.

[mr_pikachu]

Since you admit my superior logic, I will grant you a pity letter. ;)


_ A _ _ _ _ (6)

How about Machop?

[mr_pikachu]

[mr_pikachu]

Heh... it's identical to a puzzle from earlier tonight...

Let's see if the same guess of L helps.

I don't know what's in your mind, but there's an L.

_ _ A L _ _ (6)

Wrong: R

[mr_pikachu]

Exactly the same result there, too... o_0

Let's break the chain of mirroring. Is this a Swalot?

[darktyranitar]

Well...

You're right, it is a Swalot! Congratulation, mr_pika! Here's your Swalot plushie! *a Swalot plushie fell down along with some jelly substance* Careful, it's still fresh...

Your turn!

[mr_pikachu]

Ah, thank you, dt! That's another new plushie for the collection! Hehe... 7 in the morning, and I've already hit my three-plushies-a-day quota... ^_^

Here's the next one!

Incorrect Guesses: N/A

Good luck!

[Lady Vulpix]

That's what happens when you're so dedicated. :P After this round, you can find someone else to which you can dedicate yourself.

Hmm... Is it Furret?

[mr_pikachu]

That's correct! The Furret plushie is yours, Gabi! Well played.

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks... Though it was mainly a matter of luck.
I will add the plushie to my collection once I get home. Now the randomizer has called for an 8-letter pokemon.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _(8)


http://www.geocities.com/gsteren/H0.txt

[mr_pikachu]

Even though I can't win, I can still help reveal this for others... so let's try an R.

[Lady Vulpix]

Ok, you're making this an easy win for a lucky poster.

_ _ R _ _ _ _ R(8)


http://www.geocities.com/gsteren/H0.txt

[mr_pikachu]

Well, I like giving less experienced players as much of a chance as possible when I'm not in the game. ^_^

Can I get an L?

[Lady Vulpix]

Of course.

L _ R _ _ _ _ R(8)


http://www.geocities.com/gsteren/H0.txt

[mr_pikachu]

And now, let's finish with an extra-revealing A.


EDIT: Backwards comment... I can't guess the remaining letters. Three letter guesses a round, remember?

[Lady Vulpix]

Too obvious. Someone please post before he keeps guessing the few missing letters.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is it Larvitar?

[mr_pikachu]

I'm pretty sure that's it, so I'll guess an R in advance.

[Lady Vulpix]

Indeed it is. Congratulations! You get a Larvitar plushie.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Thanks for the plushie ... and I don't mind the delay.

_ _ _ _ _ _ R (7)

Incorrect Guesses: 0
Incorrect Guesses Remaing: 9

[mr_pikachu]

A guess of S should narrow this down a bit.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Nope, no S in this puzzle.

_ _ _ _ _ _ R (7)

Incorrect Guesses: S
Incorrect Guesses Remaing: 8

[mr_pikachu]

Then I'll finish narrowing down the possibilities with an I guess.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Yes, there is an I in this puzzle.

_ _ _ I _ _ R (7)

Incorrect Guesses: S
Incorrect Guesses Remaing: 8

[mr_pikachu]

Then I'm thinking this is a Pupitar.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Yes, it is. Which is kind of odd because the plushie I won was Larvitar, the plushie you won now was Pupitar ... if the next puzzle is the final stage, I will be so surprised.

And here is your plushie .... and I would like an A in advance.

[mr_pikachu]

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

Sorry, but I don't think this next one will be Tyranitar. Wrong number of letters. It would've been funny, though.

Here's the next one.


_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: A
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 9


Good luck!

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is there an E in the puzzle?

[mr_pikachu]

Another miss.


_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: A, E
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 7

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is there an S in the puzzle?

[mr_pikachu]

Three strikes, and...


_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: A, E, S
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 6

[Inferno_Dragon]

This is a total guess .... since I can't guess any more letters, is it Hoothoot?

[Shadow Wolf]

I'm going to guess an O(of course, if this one isn't a hoothoot)

[mr_pikachu]

One miss, two hits.


_ _ _ _ _ O _ O (8)

Incorrect Guesses: A, E, S, Hoothoot
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 4

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is it Ludicolo?

[Shadow Wolf]

ID probably, guessed right so...

I in advance please

[mr_pikachu]

ID did guess right. The Ludicolo is yours, Inferno! Nice move.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Okay, since I already have a Ludicolo, this one is up for trade.

And here is the puzzle;

_ _ _ _ _ I _ _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: 0
Incorrect Guesses Remaing: 9

[mr_pikachu]

Hmm. A lot of possibilities, and no extremely good letters to guess... well, is there an N here?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Nope, no N in this puzzle.

_ _ _ _ _ I _ _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: N
Incorrect Guesses Remaing: 8

[mr_pikachu]

Then maybe an R would help.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Nope, there isn't an R in this puzzle either.

_ _ _ _ _ I _ _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: N, R
Incorrect Guesses Remaing: 7

[mr_pikachu]

Then a T should finish narrowing it down, even if it's not in the puzzle.

[Inferno_Dragon]

The good news is there is a T in the puzzle;

T _ T _ _ I _ _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: N, R
Incorrect Guesses Remaing: 7

(The better news is that this puzzle should be very easy.)

[mr_pikachu]

It's gotta be a Totodile.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Congratulations, you are right. Here is your Totodile Plushie. This one is very energetic and loves to dance.

(All plushies given to members of TPM by Inferno_Dragon were checked by a mysterious council to make sure they do what they do. Inferno_Dragon cannot be at fault if one of the plushies malfunctions. If you do have a problem with the received plushie, direct all complaints towards Inferno_Dragon's demon lawyer. All attacks against Inferno_Dragon will be reflected by a magic shield and if they do get past that shield, they will have to mess with Freddy Krueger.)

Sorry but after the Machamp incident, I had to make sure I was fully prepared.

And I would like an E in advance please.

[mr_pikachu]

All right! This finishes my basic Hoenn starter set! Thank you, Inferno!

Here's the next one.


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

Incorrect Guesses: E
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8


Good luck!

[Blademaster]

Actually, Bri, Totodile is a Johto Pokemon; Mudkip was the Hoenn Water starter.

And I'm guessing an O now.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is there an S in the puzzle?

[mr_pikachu]

...

Huh. I must be tired.

Good thing I already have Mudkip, Torchip, and Treecko, anyway.

Hehe.


S _ _ O _ O O _ O (9)

Incorrect Guesses: E
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8


So, who's gonna post first?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is it Sudowoodo?

[mr_pikachu]

What else could it be? The Sudowoodo is yours, Inferno!

[Inferno_Dragon]

Thanks for the Sudowood plushie.

_ _ _ _ _ _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: 0
Incorrect Guesses Remaing: 9

[mr_pikachu]

Let's begin with an R.

[Inferno_Dragon]

No Rs in this puzzle.

_ _ _ _ _ _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: R
Incorrect Guesses Remaing: 8

[mr_pikachu]

Okay, let's try a desperate E.

[Inferno_Dragon]

No Es either, sorry

_ _ _ _ _ _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: R,E
Incorrect Guesses Remaing: 7

[mr_pikachu]

Okay, time to roll the dice with an O.

[Inferno_Dragon]

You roll the dice and you win a brand new car.

Well, no you don't but there is an O in the puzzle.

_ _ _ _ O _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: R,E
Incorrect Guesses Remaing: 7

[mr_pikachu]

Ugh... I couldn't have picked a worse spot to find an O.

Okay, time to guess the plushies I don't already own. Is this a Baltoy?

[Inferno_Dragon]

It could be a Baltoy ............ but it isn't.


_ _ _ _ O _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: R,E,Baltoy
Incorrect Guesses Remaing: 5

[mr_pikachu]

Is it a Flygon, then?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Once again, I wish it was Flygon ................................ but it isn't either.

_ _ _ _ O _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: R,E,Baltoy, Flygon
Incorrect Guesses Remaing: 3

(Just wondering is there a limit to the Pokemon names you can guess? I know about the letter limit.)

[mr_pikachu]

Nope, just the letter limit. After all, if enough Pokemon names are guessed without ending the puzzle, then... well, they will end the puzzle in an entirely different way.

If it isn't Machop, then I hope the next poster makes one of the two best letter guesses to avoid hanging the puzzle.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Just wondering ..... but sorry it isn't Machop either. Man you aren't having any luck.

_ _ _ _ O _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: R,E,Baltoy, Flygon, Machop
Incorrect Guesses Remaing: 1

(Man, this is the first time one of my puzzles have gotten so close to being hanged.)

[Shadow Wolf]

OK, there are two possibilities here, but since there's one point remaining, I am not going to hang this man so...

Can I have an S?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Yes, there is an S in this puzzle.

_ _ S _ O _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: R,E,Baltoy, Flygon, Machop
Incorrect Guesses Remaing: 1

[mr_pikachu]

Then is this plushie a Dustox?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Yes, the answer is Dustox. FINALLY. This was a close game. Here is your plushie. And I would like an A in advance.

[mr_pikachu]

Thank you, Inferno! That's my second Dustox, so it's up for trade.

Here's the next one!


_ A _ _ _ _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: N/A
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 9


Good luck!

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is there an E in the puzzle?

[mr_pikachu]

Nope.


_ A _ _ _ _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: E
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is there an S in the puzzle?

[mr_pikachu]

Not a chance.


_ A _ _ _ _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: E, S
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 7

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is there an I in the puzzle?

[Blademaster]

Is this possibly the walking tank, Lairon?

[mr_pikachu]

Inferno: This is your fourth letter guess. That does not compute.

Blademaster: Possibly. But not likely.


_ A _ _ _ _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: E, S, Lairon
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 5

[Blademaster]

Nice font.

And if this isn't Lairon, then I'll guess Baltoy.

[mr_pikachu]

Thank you. I like it, too.

But I don't like your guess.


_ A _ _ _ _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: E, S, Lairon, Baltoy
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 3

[Blademaster]

Well, I'm stumped.

Let's try a letter now, just to be safe...

Is there an O?

[Number1ChanseyFan]

[color=magenta]Is there an R in this puzzle?

[mr_pikachu]

One of these guesses will help. The other will bring the man that much closer to swinging from the rafters.


_ A _ _ _ O (6)

Incorrect Guesses: E, S, Lairon, Baltoy, R
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 2

[Blademaster]

Who's that Pokemon?

It's Kabuto!

[mr_pikachu]

I was nervous that someone would screw up and misspell Kabuto. ^_^;

Anyway, the plushie is yours, Blademaster! Well done.

[Inferno_Dragon]

I will take an E in advance and hope that I watch how many letter guesses that I post.

[Blademaster]

Heh... you needn't worry about me misspelling any Pokemon names, Bri - I'm the guy who correctly spelled methionylglutaminylarginyltyrosylglutamylserylleuc ylphenylalanylalanylglutaminylleucyllysylglutamyla rginyllysyglutamylgycylalanylphenylalanylvalylprol ylphenylal

Now, new puzzle!

Randomizer: (is too stunned by that word to give a new puzzle)

:sweat:

Urk...

(hits 'Reboot' button)

Now, while we're waiting...

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ (7)

Wrong: E
Left: 8

[mr_pikachu]

1. You copied and pasted that.
2. Stop breaking the Randomizer!

Let's try an R.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is there an A in the puzzle?

[Blademaster]

1. I also took the time to find it. Besides, people have misspelled copied/pasted words before.

2. I didn't break it! It's just rebooting, see?

(points to Randomizer, which has 'Help me.' on the screen)

:eek:

(jumps in front of screen; hits 'Shutdown' button')

Yep, juuuuuuuust rebooting... :rolleyes:

And because you insulted me, I'm not giving you a letter!

_ A _ _ _ _ _ (7)

Wrong: E, R
Left: 7

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is there an S in the puzzle?

[mr_pikachu]

Hmm... is this a Taillow?

[Blademaster]

..............

(looks behind Randomizer)

...........

OK, I dunno how you did that, but yes, it's a Taillow.

(hands over plushie)

Randomizer: DING!

And the Randomizer is up and running again, so...

Screw it. T in advance, por favor.

[mr_pikachu]

Ah, thank you, Blademaster! That's my second Taillow, so it's up for trade.

Here's the next one!


_ _ _ T _ _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: N/A
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 9


Good luck!

[Blademaster]

Hmmmmm...

I see a possibility here, but I won't risk it yet...

Is there an A?

[mr_pikachu]

You're wise to not risk it, apparently.


_ _ _ T _ _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: A
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8

[Blademaster]

OK, so Gastly is out... There's no other RBY Pokemon that fit...

...Except one.

Is this the genetic horror, Mewtwo?

[mr_pikachu]

A good try. But not good enough.


_ _ _ T _ _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: A, Mewtwo
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 6

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is there an O in the puzzle?

[mr_pikachu]

Indeed.


_ _ _ T O _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: A, Mewtwo
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 6

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is it Dustox?

[mr_pikachu]

Exactly! The Dustox is yours, Inferno!

[Blademaster]

EDIT: .........................................

(bites tongue)

E, pleathe.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Yes, another plushie.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ (7)

Incorrect Guesses: E
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8

[mr_pikachu]

Let's go for an R.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Yes, there is an R.


_ _ _ _ _ _ R (7)

Incorrect Guesses: E
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8

[mr_pikachu]

An I should help here.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Yes, it can.


I _ _ _ _ _ R (7)

Incorrect Guesses: E
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8

[mr_pikachu]

Ooh, is this an Ivysaur?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Yes, it is. Here is your Ivysaur.

And I would like an E in advance please.

[mr_pikachu]

Excellent! Thank you, Inferno. That completes my Bulbasaur evolution set! Awesome!

Here's the next one.


_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: E
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8


Good luck!

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is there an A in the puzzle?

[mr_pikachu]

A pretty good guess.


_ _ _ _ _ _ A _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: E
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8

[Blademaster]

Is there an O?

[mr_pikachu]

A better question would have been, "Are there any Os?"


_ _ O _ O _ A _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: E
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8

[Blademaster]

Here's a better question:

Who's that Pokemon?

It's Croconaw!

[mr_pikachu]

You learn quickly. The Croconaw is yours, Blademaster!

[Blademaster]

And now, just one puzzle after Bri completes his Bulbasaur evolution line, I complete my Totodile line...

Huh. Weird! :lookout:

Next!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [8]

Wrong: 1-Up Mushroom
Left: Yo-yo

[mr_pikachu]

Let's start with the traditional R.

[Blademaster]

And once again, the phrase 'Why change a good thing?' pertains to the game.

_ R _ _ R _ _ _ [8]

Wrong: Humpty Dumpty
Left: Anchorage

[mr_pikachu]

Hmm, is this an Ursaring?

[Blademaster]

What else would it be?

(drags out a big, raggedy teddy bear)

There... ya go. Eesh, that plushie is heavy.

(Randomizer spits out a more plushie-sized plushie)

Eh...? Then... what is...

(looks at big raggedy teddy bear, which growls and snorts steam)

..........Eep.

(runs)

[Inferno_Dragon]

OKKKKKKKKKKKKKAYYYY ... that was akward.

I will take an E in advance please.

[mr_pikachu]

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

Here's the next one!


_ _ _ _ _ _ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: E
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8


Good luck!

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is there an A in the puzzle?
