GAME: Pokémon Hangman v.52 (MA) + ANNOUNCEMENT!!

[Number1ChanseyFan]

ANNOUNCEMENT: Ok this really isn't important and doesn't have anything at all to do with Hangman, but... today is my 6 Year TPM registration anniversary!! Yay, go me!! ^_^

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!


Pokémon Hangman v.52

Game Founder / Rules Creator: Jay
Rules Editor For This Version: Christen (Number1ChanseyFan)
Hosts: mr_pikachu, Number1ChanseyFan, shinypkmnchaser

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 mr_pikachu, 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

[color=magenta]Louis, it is your turn to post the next puzzle!! Good luck everybody!!

[mr_pikachu]

I'll take an R in advance, Louis.

And congrats on 6 years, Christen! I figured you wouldn't dare miss this day. ^_^

[Inferno_Dragon]

I will take an E in advance.

[Number1ChanseyFan]

congrats on 6 years, Christen! I figured you wouldn't dare miss this day. ^_^
[color=magenta]Thanks!! Meh, it is hard to believe I have been here so long!! I wish I could find my first post here on archive.org. XD It would have been one of the few that I made here that wasn't in magenta font!!

Oh, BTW I will take a C in advance!!

[Shadow Wolf]

[color=magenta]ANNOUNCEMENT: Ok this really isn't important and doesn't have anything at all to do with Hangman, but... today is my 6 Year TPM registration anniversary!! Yay, go me!! ^_^


Congratulations Christen, I hope that you stay around TPM for many years to come(I hope that I'm saying this well). ^_^

[Inferno_Dragon]

Another plushie to my collection and sorry there is no S in this puzzle.

Is this a Doduo?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Are you saying that you have some sort of mental problem, Blademaster. If you do, then you need some psychological help soon.

And no the answer isn't Doduo.

_ _ _ _ _ (5)

Incorrect Guesses: S,A,I,Doduo
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 4

[Blademaster]

Great, just what TPM needs: another mr_pikachu...

This could be Unown...

[mr_pikachu]

I'll ignore that comment. Pick your battles, y'know?

Let's try an L.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Wait, what do you mean by that statement?

And no, this isn't Unown either and there is no L in this puzzle.

Careful or you will hang this guy.

_ _ _ _ _ (5)

Incorrect Guesses: S,A,I,Doduo,Unown, L
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 1

[mr_pikachu]

Oh, hell. It's a complete toss-up and there's no way to guess a safe letter that would be in both puzzles.

Time to take a stab and pray. Is it Eevee?

[Inferno_Dragon]

YES, YES, YES

... sorry but I hoped that no one would hang this puzzle. If some had guessed the Letter E early, this puzzle wouldn't be on its very threads but you really can't trust vowels most of the time .. so whatever.

Here is your Eevee plushie ... the first multi-chain evolution pokemon before Poliwhirl evolved into Politoed and Gloom evolved into Bellossom. Plus the first Pokemon palindrome.

And I would like an A in advance.

[Blademaster]

EDIT: ...Just... Never mind. :sweat:

[mr_pikachu]

Whew! *wipes brow* That was a close one! Thanks, Inferno. That's my second Eevee, so it's up for trade!

It's a shame to follow such a great speech with such a misguided guess.

One long sentence is the equivalent of a speech? I wish my Public Speaking class was that easy... :sweat:

OK, there's probably about 80 guesses that fit here, so...

Let's get started. :cool:

Is this the ghastly, gutsy, and yet still somewhat goofy Gengar?

[mr_pikachu]

Skill is unnecessary when one has luck. The Gengar is yours, Blademaster! ;)

[Blademaster]

......

Really?

.......

Seriously?

......

......

Honest?

Sweet!

(grabs plushie; hand goes right through it)

WTF...?

Wrong: French toast

[mr_pikachu]

*stares at link*

Must... cliiiiiiiick...

*looks longingly*

While I struggle with self-restraint issues, can I have an R?

[Blademaster]

Be strong, Bri!

...Or just click it. Either way, the world isn't gonna change.

(something somewhere explodes because he said that)

...Yep... Nooooothing's gonna change...

Huh? M? No, I'm sorry, we're all out.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [8]

Wrong: M, R

Yep, all out. But we do have a surplus of these laying around. Here, it's on the house.

"What's wroooooong, Briiiiiaaaan? Don't you looooove meeee? Yooouuu can't be the 'judge of everything' if you don't click eeeeverythiiiiiing..."

[mr_pikachu]

A-a-a-a-all one needs to j-j-judge is to have proper l-l-logic! And m-m-my logic tells me that c-c-clicking that link w-would be unwise!

L-l-l-lets try an O.

[mr_pikachu]

I-I-I-I think this is a To-To-To-Totodile.

(My guess is Totodile, not To-To-To-Totodile. Just to be c-c-c-clear.)

[Blademaster]

Totodile?

Mmmmmmmmmm... YES!

(pumps fist so hard he accidenally hits the link and sends it flying)

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!"

TWING!

Eh...?

(looks; sees nothing)

Uh, OK...

Anyways, nice deduction there, Bri. A Totodile is yours!

(Totodile plushie rolls out of Randomizer)

2. Is there an O here?

Here is the puzzle;

Incorrect Guesses: 0
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 9

[mr_pikachu]

Let's start with an R.


P.S. ...I just checked, and that was my third plushie of the day, much to my chagrin. It's thanks to Blademaster, who posted to confirm my guess of Paras nine seconds after midnight.

I could scream.

[Inferno_Dragon]

That's okay, at least you might help someone get another plushie. But in this turn, you can't.

Nope, there isn't an I in this puzzle.

Mwahahahahahahaha - my plan worked perfectly! :evil:

Now, is there an E?

Your plan might have worked perfectly, but I am sorry to say that there is no E in this puzzle.

[Shadow Wolf]

I bet that there's an S on this one.

You'd bet right, there is a S. But there isn't a T.


S _ _ _ L _ (6)

That one must be a Swablu.

[mr_pikachu]

I'm pretty sure Louis has it, so I'll take an R in advance.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Yes, it is. Here is your Swablu plushie.

And I will take an E in advance.

[Shadow Wolf]

Thanks Inferno, this plushie is new to me!

OK, here we go!

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is there an A in the puzzle?

[Blademaster]

[mr_pikachu]

I think an L may help.

[Shadow Wolf]

OK, so there is, and there isn't, and it will help!


_ A _ _ L E( 6 )

Incorrect: R,T

(So, who's gonna post first?)

[mr_pikachu]

I am! By guessing an M!

[Shadow Wolf]

Nice guess!

Incorrect: R,T

(How hard can it be?)

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is it Mawile?

[mr_pikachu]

Yeah, I think it's time to deliver a predictable advance guess of R.

So, how's that plan working out for you, Blade? Are you reaping the rewards with me out of the picture?

[Shadow Wolf]

Quite right Inferno, congratulations!

*hands over the Mawile plushie*

Careful with its teeth(well, horns)

S in advance please.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Mawile, Wobbufet and Girafarig were some of the strangest pokemon because you couldn't tell which part was which.

Christen's favorite letter may help. Let's try a C!

[Inferno_Dragon]

Sorry, no N or C in this puzzle.

_ R _ _ _ _ _ _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: S,N,C
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 6

[Shadow Wolf]

OK, I got to go, but before I go, I'm going to guess Graveler.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Sorry, it isn't Graveler.

_ R _ _ _ _ _ _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: S,N,C,Graveler
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 4

[mr_pikachu]

Graveler has an extra R...

Let's go for a couple of Ps.

[Inferno_Dragon]

I knew that.

P R _ _ _ _ P _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: S,N,C,Graveler
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 4

[Blademaster]

So, how's that plan working out for you, Blade? Are you reaping the rewards with me out of the picture?

Nuuh... Sorry, Bri; I got more pressing concerns right now...

I'm such an idiot...

And this is Primeape.

[mr_pikachu]

Hooray for R in advance!

[Inferno_Dragon]

Yes, it is. You get the Punchy Pokemon, Primeape. Try saying Punchy Pokemon, Primeape 10 times fast.

Here is your plushie and I would like an E in advance.

[Blademaster]

...

K.

_ R _ _ _ _ _ E [8]

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is there an A in the puzzle?

[mr_pikachu]

I'll take some Ns, please.

[Blademaster]

A R _ A N _ N E [8]

Wrong: ~

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is it Arcanine?

[Blademaster]

Yep.

I need a break.

[mr_pikachu]

And I need an R!

[Inferno_Dragon]

My third pokemon of the day and my 50th Plushie (if you count the double pokemon plushies.)

_ _ _ _ _ _ (6)

Wrong: R
Left: 8

[mr_pikachu]

Congratulations, Inferno!

Let's try an L.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Thanks, and here is your complementary L.

_ _ L _ _ _ (6)

Wrong: R
Left: 8

[mr_pikachu]

Let's go for something different. Is there a U here?

[Inferno_Dragon]

That is different and it succeeded.

_ U L _ _ _ (6)

Wrong: R
Left: 8

[Blademaster]

Who's that Pokemon?

It's Vulpix!

[Inferno_Dragon]

Yes, it is. Here is your Vulpix. And my turn is over in this game until tomorrow.

[Blademaster]

Thanx, ID!

(puts plushie up on shelf)

Aaaaaaaand that's my last plushie for today, but a new day is starting in 5 minutes, so... :D

Next!

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

Wrong: Carpet
Left: Grapefruit


And BTW, while I was looking back to see if I exceeded my limit today, I noticed something:

Bri, I didn't give you your plushie 9 seconds too late - ID did. Kthnxbai.

[mr_pikachu]

Well, yes. Except, uh, you... used his account. By proxy.

And if you didn't, then he was thinking of you. Actually, you were controlling his mind.

Yeah.

...

Give me an R and don't try your Jedi mind tricks on me.

[Blademaster]

Yes, it is Paras. A little fact that Paras was the first Pokemon to appear on the First Pokemon Episode (The Problem With Paras) that Premiered on WB.

Here is your Paras Plushie.

And that's all for me.

The Quote button doesn't lie.

And neither do I - there's no R, Islamabad is the capital of Pakistan, and Bob Barker is a robot.

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

Wrong: R
Left: 8

[mr_pikachu]

Your Jedi mind tricks will not work on me!

So give me an N.

[Blademaster]

You cannot resist my Jedi mind tricks because my Jedi mind tricks do not exist. That which does not exist does not work, but that which does not work can indeed exist. However, N does work here and thusly must exist, and yet it does not, which creates a paradox. And the paradox exists, though it does no actual work, resulting in it not working and yet existing, thus confirming my statement. So therefore, my Jedi mind tricks may not work, but that is because they do exist - and consequently, they do not exist. And if they do not exist, then I am telling the truth.

And the truth is that I am right, you are wrong, and N exists - in this case, in two forms.

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

Wrong: R
Left: 8

[mr_pikachu]

I don't particularly feel like counting the fallacious statements in that post.

Is this Ninetales?

[Blademaster]

OK, then let me put it another way...

Accept the truth, or I'll pound your stupid Randomizer to scrap metal!

Randomizer: O_O''''''

And yes, it is a Ninetales.

(reverse-kicks Randomizer; Ninetales plushie fires out like a bullet)

[mr_pikachu]

I'll let you live for now, because this is a joyous moment for me.

I just completed half the Pokedex! Only 193 Pokemon species to go! ^_^ Thanks, Blademaster.

Here's the next one!

What else could it be? The Venusaur is yours, Blademaster.

[Blademaster]

Thanx...

Well, since you were the only one who asked a question...

Let's go for an O.

[mr_pikachu]

Ah, is this a Lunatone?

[Blademaster]

Well, it's either that or a Solrock that needs a new watch.

Randomizer: DING!

(plushie rolls out)

There... now, speaking of Lunatone...

[mr_pikachu]

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

Wow. Not even five in the morning, and I've won my daily quota. o_o;; Anyway, thank you, Louis! That's my second Jynx, so it's up for trade!

OK, this is a tough one, so I should take the easy way...

[Shadow Wolf]

I bet that this one is a Marshtomp.

[Blademaster]

You people have serious gambling problems... :(

But this is a Marshtomp. Nice snag, Lou.

Randomizer: DING!

(Marshtomp plushie rolls out)

Hmmm... I wonder where all those plushies come from...

Ah, I'll worry about that later. C in advance kthnxbai. :wave:

I shouldn't even give you that plushie if you have to still ask.

...

OK, fine.

Randomizer: ...

Oh, damn it, not this again...

(kicks Randomizer)

DING!

(Chimecho plushie flies out and embeds in wall)

Is there an S in the puzzle?

And thanks for the match, but I meant to say you still owe me a new watch. Oh forgot it. I can buy myself a new watch by myself.

Well, hopefully you can replace it cheaply.


S _ E _ _ _ _ (7)

Incorrect Guesses: A
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8

[Blademaster]

I'll sell you my fake Rolex for $199.99.

And I'll sell Bri a fake new wall for only an extra $299.99. How can you beat that?

And I have a feeling this may be a Shelgon.

[mr_pikachu]

By not buying it, perhaps?

And you need to get a new feeling.


S _ E _ _ _ _ (7)

Incorrect Guesses: A, Shelgon
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 6

[Blademaster]

Too late - construction has already begun.

(several 'construction workers' are putting up a new 'wall' and one of them is 'stealing' $299.99 from 'mr_pikachu's' 'safe')

Thank you for your business, and please keep Blademaster Building Co. in mind for all of your construction needs. :wave:

And if this isn't a Shelgon, then perhaps it is a...

...Um, I dunno. O please.

[darktyranitar]

How about a Swellow?

[mr_pikachu]

Oh, that reminds me. Thanks for "loaning" me those "funds" and that "safe," "Blademaster." And this "wall" will be a nice "addition" to the "middle" of your "bedroom."

This plushie is indeed a Swellow! Well played, dt.
