GAME: Pokemon Hangman v.62 (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 oppourtunity 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), BURMY Steel." Don't include this extra letter, extra word, or extra 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:

On each new puzzle, no player may guess a vowel (A, E, I, O, or U) until they have guessed at least one consonant. However, anyone may make Pokemon guesses before guessing a consonant.

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, Latias, Rayquaza, Uxie, Azelf, Mesprit, Heatran, Regigigas, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Cresselia, Phione, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin and Arceus. All others are fine.

Some Pokemon have unusual characters in their names. The following is a guide to show how we display those Pokemon in Hangman puzzles:

*Ho-oh - HOOH(4 letters)
Mr. Mime - MRMIME(6 letters)
Mime Jr. - MIMEJR(6 letters)
Porygon Two - PORYGON2(8 letters)
Porygon Z - PORYGONZ(8 letters)
Nidoran Female - NIDORANF(8 letters)
Nidoran Male - NIDORANM(8 letters)
Farfetch'd - FARFETCHD(9 letters)

* - Since Ho-oh is a legendary, only a worker may give it out. But this could be useful if you see a worker giving a four-lettered puzzle.

You are allowed a maximum of TEN incorrect guesses before it's Game Over, not per person, that includes everyone's incorrect guesses. Usually people guess the name before the ten 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), 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, 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 almost 500 Pokemon to choose from so good luck!

If there's something you don't understand then ask mr_pikachu, Number1ChanseyFan, 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-six times
Hangman makes up approximately 1/5 of the total posts in PCG since 2005; considering this game began in very late April

So now, is up to Crazy Elf Boy to cut the ribbon and begin a new puzzle. Here you go player.

I already have a Pidgey plushie. Does anyone want to trade? I also have a Skitty plushie available for trading.

And I would like to trade, Gabi. The only duplicate that I have to offer right now is Baltoy, so if you want it, let me know!! ^_^

[mr_pikachu]

Let's lead with an R.

Oh, and shouldn't we start with 10 incorrect guesses remaining?

[Number1ChanseyFan]

I will start by guessing a C.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Yes, it should. Why does this always happen? I try to not make a mistake and it happens. I think there is a curse of this game that causes me to do this.

Anyways ... yes, there is a R in this puzzle and yes there is a C in this puzzle.

_ _ R _ _ _ C _ _ (9 Letters)

Incorrect Guesses: 0
Guesses Remaining: 10

[Shadow Wolf]

Hey, don't worry about that. You know that everyone is vulnerable to make mistakes.

This seems to be a Farfetch’d.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Good, because here is one mistake I didn't make. When Farfetch'd came up on the randomizer, I immediately read the rules on how to deal with pokemon that didn't fit the traditional Pokemon Hangman norm.

Here is your Farfetch'd Plushie. And I would like an S in advance.

By the way, what is the deal with the 'd at the end of Farfetch'd name anyways?

[Number1ChanseyFan]

C in advance please...

And yeah, now that you bring it up, Farfetch'd does have a pretty weird name spelling.

[mr_pikachu]

Nice move, Louis! I'll take an R in advance.

And yeah, it's tricky sometimes. From Porygon2 to Ho-oh, they do love making Hangman a challenge, huh?

[Shadow Wolf]

By the way, what is the deal with the 'd at the end of Farfetch'd name anyways?

Well, according to an article originated from bulbapedia...

Farfetch'd's name comes from the word farfetched, which means unbelievable. It could also refer to the game of fetch, which animals play using sticks.

...so I believe they tried to combine both meanings with that apostrophe.

Anyway, thanks ID! That's another new plushie for me.

..and new plushie is related to new puzzle.

[Heald]

Is it Ariados?

[mr_pikachu]

Yeah, I'm sure that's it. Once Inferno confirms it, I'll take an R in advance.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Heald, you are correct. Here is your plushie and I would like an S in advance.

[Heald]

Kk.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _

No S.

Incorrect Guesses: S
9 left

[mr_pikachu]

Yeah, I'm sure that's it. Once Inferno confirms it, I'll take an R in advance.

I'm starting to wonder if we should consider changing the rules on advanced guesses, since that seems to be a problem from time to time with those extremely early guesses.

[Heald]

Oh shoot, sorry, I thought you were guessing I_D's in case I got it wrong.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ (7)

No R.

Incorrect Guesses: S, R

[mr_pikachu]

Heh, don't worry about it. Like I said, our advanced guesses are often misunderstood. It's nothing new.

I'll look for an L this time.

[Heald]

No L.

[mr_pikachu]

Dang it... well, there's a 50/50 chance of this being a Mantyke.

[Heald]

Yes. Well done.

[Inferno_Dragon]

I would like an S in advance.

[mr_pikachu]

Whew! Long round, but it paid off in the end. Thanks for the Mantyke, Heald! That's another new plushie for the collection!

Here's the next one.

[Inferno_Dragon]

There are two possible answers for this puzzle;

Is it Slowpoke?

[mr_pikachu]

Indeed it is! Nice play. Inferno, the Slowpoke is yours!

Unless, of course, you'd like to trade it...

[Inferno_Dragon]

I would but I don't have a Slowpoke ... but I could give it up if you made the right offer.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ (7 Letters)

Incorrect Guesses: 0
Guesses Remaining: 10

[mr_pikachu]

Nah, that's okay. If it's not a duplicate, I won't pressure you to give it up.

Anyway, I'll start with an R here.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Yes, there is.

_ _ _ R _ _ _ (7 Letters)

Incorrect Guesses: 0
Guesses Remaining: 10

(I understand but don't worry. I just wanted to see if you could a make a good offer that might convince me to give it up.

[mr_pikachu]

There's a 50% chance of an N being present.


If you really want to see what I'd be willing to give up anyway, here's my trade list...

Aggron
Azurill
Clamperl
Corsola
Crawdaunt
Cubone

...I also have a spare Raikou, but I'm saving that to trade for another legendary (or possibly a 2-for-1 deal).

[Inferno_Dragon]

There is a 50 percent chance that there is a N in this puzzle but it is on the negative side.

_ _ _ R _ _ _ (7 Letters)

Incorrect Guesses: N
Guesses Remaining: 9

(You know, it just hit me. My birthday was last year and I never asked for a plushie. I don't know why it took me so long to realize this but oh well, maybe next birthday. I can wait that long.)

[mr_pikachu]

Now there's a fifty-fifty chance of an S being here.

[Inferno_Dragon]

This time you are right.

S _ _ R _ _ _ (7 Letters)

Incorrect Guesses: N
Guesses Remaining: 9

(By the way, why do have 3 Gyarados Duplicate Plushies?)

[mr_pikachu]

Because nobody ever wants to trade for them. -_-;;

This could be a Skorupi.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Too bad, it isn't.

S _ _ R _ _ _ (7 Letters)

Incorrect Guesses: N, Skorupi
Guesses Remaining: 7

(Also too bad, if I had any duplicate plushies you need, I would take one of those Gyarados plushies off of your hands ...

I also have a shiny Registeel. It isn't a duplicate but I would trade it for another pokemon pluse. Sure I might not get another shiny Registeel {I probably would get a regular Registeel} but what is so important about shiny pokemon anyways?)

[mr_pikachu]

Well, the shiny Pokemon are basically one-of-a-kind, which is extremely cool. (They're far rarer than legendaries, even. I consider two-for-one trades for legendaries fair, but I wouldn't think of giving up a shiny.)

If you really wanted to trade it, I'm perfectly willing to give up my spare Raikou... but I'd advise you to think very carefully before doing so. Legendaries appear about 1 in every 19 worker plushies, while shinies are about five times rarer. So it'll probably be somewhere around 1,900 worker-led puzzles before you even have a chance at another shiny legendary.

Anyway. This could also be a Solrock.

[Inferno_Dragon]

I didn't want to give it up ... I was just considering the options. By the way, how does a worker tell if it is shiny or not? The randomizer doesn't do that (If it has, I haven't been paying real attention.)

And yes, it is a Solrock.

I would like an S in advance.

[mr_pikachu]

Ah, I see. It's probably good that you're not planning on making a trade. And we have our ways of knowing when it's a shiny. Super secret ways! :ninja:

Anyway, thanks for the Solrock! That's another new plushie for the collection! Getting close to the big 300 Pokedex tier...

Here's the next one.

Okay, I'm not brave enough to waste a guess, so I'll sit back for a bit.

You may have just discovered something important...

[Heald]

Haha. I'm winning a Pokemon Hangman puzzle. I wish I could get this much cooler.

All too easy.

Enjoy your plushie of a zombie bee thing.

Sweet. Just what I always wanted, ectoplasmic honey! That's another plushie for the collection, so thanks, Heald!

It's eight, once again the curse of this game has made me mess up again.
