Game: Pokemon Hangman v.77 (MA)

[Lady Vulpix]

NOTE: here is the link to The Official Pokémon Hangman Randomizer (http://pokemon-randomizer.greatnow.com/randomizer_bw.html). If you select a Pokemon with alternate forms using the Official Pokémon Hangman Randomizer, it will also name what form has been selected in parentheses, like "UNOWN (A)" or "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!

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

Rules
Newest rules in Cyan

The rules of Hangman are fairly straightforward. If you don't know them, then watch a few people post and we're sure you'll get the hang of it. (Pun intended? I don't know, I just copy/pasted it.)

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 once or more in the Pokemon's name you're doing before you post to avoid mistakes. Also, if it's your turn, try and preserve the rarity of each plushie so we have a nice mix. You can use the randomizer (see link above) to help you with this. However, if you use another randomizer and the pokemon you have to award has an alternate form, select the form that you will award and announce it at the end of the puzzle.

You may only win a maximum of three plushies per 24-hour period; this is to prevent a certain group of people called plushie hogs grabbing all the stuff every second turn. (Each new day begins 24 hours after you've won the first of the three plushies.)

Even 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 award them. Anyone else may not. If this were possible we'd have legendaries popping up everywhere, and they deserve some rarity. Shiny plushies may also be won here, 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, Arceus, Victini, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, Keldeo, Landorus, Tornadus, Thundurus, Meloetta and Genesect. 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 award it. But this could be useful if you see a worker giving a four-lettered puzzle.

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 48 hours to post or update the puzzle. In the case of updating, this applies to three 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 you have yet to post after winning a plushie.

If you don't post 48 hours after any situation above, you will lose your turn, and one of the workers will start the next puzzle. (note: the 48 hour rule doesn't apply to the workers). This will keep the game running quickly.

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 spelled 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 played 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 24-hour-period!

Final Words

ONLY post the names of Pokemon. No dictionary words (nor anything else that is not a Pokemon)! That is if you haven't been bothered to read the rules, which I recommend reading. There are almost 650 Pokemon to choose from so good luck!

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

The man has been hung a total of forty-three (43) times (last hanging: 2011-09-05)

Knight of Time is running the current puzzle. I've already won 3 plushies today, but I will guess an R to help other players.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Gabi...I wasn't expecting to be caught off-guard at the end of the last version, but oh well, it happens.

There's no R here, sorry.

--------- (9)

Incorrect Guesses: R

Guesses Remaining: 8

[Lady Vulpix]

Oh, sorry, I guess you didn't see Brian's post.


Nicely done, Kyle! We'll let you answer Gabi's question, and then I think that will be a great point at which to close this version of Pokemon Hangman. :)

Anyway, we're on a new version now and everything's OK. Is there an L?

[mr_pikachu]

Sorry about that, Kyle... I just figured that we were at the point for a new version anyway, and it seemed like a nice idea to close the book on that one with your climactic 250th win.

Anyway, is there an N here?

[Knight of Time]

Yeah Gabi, I didn't see Brian's post before I first posted the puzzle, but I saw it afterward, so it's all okay.

There is an L, but no N here.

-l------- (9)

Incorrect Guesses: R, N

Guesses Remaining: 7

[mr_pikachu]

Ooh, I think this is a Blastoise!

[Knight of Time]

It is indeed, Brian!

'hands you a Blastoise plushie'

Well, even though I have to wait until tomorrow afternoon, I might as well guess an R in advance to see if it helps someone else win a plushie tonight.

BTW, Brian, I'm just curious to if you made any progress on your trade list yet since I helped you?

[mr_pikachu]

Thanks, Kyle! No, I haven't had a chance to work on my plushie list, but that's on my to-do list! :)

Anyway, here's the next puzzle


R _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: N/A
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 9


Good luck!

[Fett One]

Is there a T?

[mr_pikachu]

I'm afraid not.


R _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: T
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8

[Lady Vulpix]

I can't get a plushie now, but I can still guess. Is it Rapidash? If it is, I'll give it to the next poster who hasn't won 3 plushies within the last 24 hours.

[mr_pikachu]

Indeed it is, Gabi! The Rapidash belongs to... well, someone. ^^;;

R in advance, please!

[Knight of Time]

Well that someone doesn't need to be me...even if I didn't get 3 plushies today, I already have a Rapidash.

N in advance please.

[Fett One]

S in advance please.

[Shadow Wolf]

*raises hand*

I already have one too.

L in advance please.

[Lady Vulpix]

OK, then the Rapidash belongs to Fett One.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ L L _ (10)
Wrong guesses: R, N, S.
Guesses left: 6

[Knight of Time]

It has to be Gothitelle.

[Lady Vulpix]

Indeed! The Gothitelle plushie is yours, Kyle. Your turn!

[Shadow Wolf]

Well done Kyle! N in advance please.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Gabi, that's the first B/W plushie I now have a double of, so this one's becoming trading fodder (hopefully with Brian whenever he's ready for trading again; Shadow Wolf, what doubles do you have at the moment? I might consider a trade with you instead for now if you have any doubles I don't have).

Okay, here's the next puzzle.

---------- (10)

Incorrect Guesses: N

Guesses Remaining: 8

[Shadow Wolf]

Hmm, how about an R?

Kyle: My list hasn't changed much, so I'm not sure if something new comes up. Nevertheless, here's the list:

Nidoqueen, Alakazam, Magneton, Hitmonlee, Kabutops, Azumarill, Sudowoodo, Umbreon, Corsola, Treecko, Cascoon, Makuhita, Swalot, Duskull, Metagross.

[Knight of Time]

There's no R here, and I'm afraid I have every one of the plushies you mentioned, Shadow Wolf.

---------- (10)

Incorrect Guesses: N, R

Guesses Remaining: 7

[Shadow Wolf]

Wow, then my last letter guess is: L

[Knight of Time]

There is an L here.

----l----- (10)

Incorrect Guesses: N, R

Guesses Remaining: 7

[Lady Vulpix]

I'm at university, so I'll throw in a guess: is it Jigglypuff?

[Knight of Time]

It is Jigglypuff, Gabi.

'hands you the plushie'

Can I have an R in advance, please?

[Lady Vulpix]

Whoa, that was a lucky guess!

I have one already, so this one will be up for trade!

Current trading list: Lapras, Slaking, Nidoqueen, Charmander, Jigglypuff.

R _ _ _ _ _ (6)
Guesses left: 9

[Knight of Time]

Ooh, this could be a plushie I'm looking for...is there a U?

[Lady Vulpix]

Yes, there is!

R _ _ _ _ U (6)
Guesses left: 9

[Knight of Time]

Let's try Raikou first.

[Lady Vulpix]

No, sorry. But you'll probably get it now.


R _ _ _ _ U (6)
Wrong guesses: Raikou
Guesses left: 7

[Knight of Time]

Oh, well it's Raichu then.

[Lady Vulpix]

Yes, it is. :)

[Knight of Time]

Sweet, that adds another much-wanted plushie to my collection, thanks Gabi!

Here's the next puzzle.

------- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: n/a

Guesses Remaining: 9

[Fett One]

Is there a S?

[Knight of Time]

No there isn't, sorry.

------- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: S

Guesses Remaining: 8

[Fett One]

How about an E?

[Knight of Time]

How about two?

----ee- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: S

Guesses Remaining: 8

[Lady Vulpix]

Is it Goldeen?

[Knight of Time]

Nope.

----ee-

Incorrect Guesses: S, Goldeen

Guesses Remaining: 6

[Fett One]

Is this Bayleef?

[Knight of Time]

You got it, Fett One.

'hands you a Bayleef plushie'

Can I have an R in advance please?

[Fett One]

Thanks.


------- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: R

Guesses Remaining: 8

[Knight of Time]

Okay, let's try an A.

[mr_pikachu]

I'll add an L, myself.

[Fett One]

---L L -- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: R A

Guesses Remaining: 7

[mr_pikachu]

Hmm. Could this be a Shellos?

[Fett One]

---L L -- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: R A Shellos

Guesses Remaining: 5

[mr_pikachu]

Fair enough. I think this is a Swellow.

[Knight of Time]

That definitely has to be right (not to mention it's one I have already), so can I have an R in advance please?

[Fett One]

Congrats mr_pikachu.

I'll take S in advance.

[mr_pikachu]

Thanks, Fett! I don't know whether that one is already in my collection or not, but it's a welcome addition!

Here's the next one.


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

Incorrect Guesses: S
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8


Good luck!

[Knight of Time]

Hmm, seems this one has a 50% chance of being a legendary...is there a G?

[mr_pikachu]

Will this piece of information serve as a revelation?


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

Incorrect Guesses: S, G
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 7

[Knight of Time]

Ugh, forgot there was no S here, so it can't be a legendary...no big deal though. It has to be Relicanth.

[mr_pikachu]

Bingo! The Relicanth is yours, Kyle. Nicely done!

I'll take an R in advance, please.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Brian...for a moment I thought I already had a Relicanth plushie, and I realized I don't, so this is a new addition to my collection...and for the second straight day, it's my third plushie (6 plushies in two days...I think this is the first time I won 3 plushies on one day, then another 3 plushies the next day).

Remembering that list I first PMed you Brian, plus the Blastoise plushie you won earlier this week, does that make 3 Blastoise plushies you have? I'm tempted to trade my extra Gothitelle plushie for one of your Blastoise plushies whenever you're ready.

Anyway, here's the next puzzle.

-r----- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: n/a

Guesses Remaining: 9

[mr_pikachu]

Well, I'm still not sure, as it's quite possible I traded away some plushies after posting that list you sent me. I still need to check on those things... it's going to take awhile, so I probably won't be trading for quite some time. Sorry about that.

Anyway, how about a D?

[Knight of Time]

Well Brian, that's okay, but let me give you some advice...when it comes to the plushie checking, you might want to take it a little at a time...maybe the Internet Archive might help you.

But back to the puzzle, there's no D, sorry.

-r----- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: D

Guesses Remaining: 8

[mr_pikachu]

Right, that's why I figure it will be some time before I'm ready for trading again.

In any case, I'll try an L as my last letter guess.

[Lady Vulpix]

Then I'll guess an S.

[Fett One]

Is there a P?

[Knight of Time]

Hmm...you know what I think might be the way to go to get your updated plushie list, Brian? You mentioned back on July 20th (and possibly earlier) that your old desktop died...is it technically possible for a computer technician to retrieve the files from the hard drive (e.g. if it was somehow swapped into another computer for that computer's hard drive...I have a feeling that'd be pretty risky though) and transfer them to some sort of media that can hold them that your current computer supports, such as an external hard drive, a CD/DVD, a USB flash drive, or even an SD card like the kind digital cameras use? Around the time our last desktop computer died, the person(s) who helped us get our new desktop computer was able to salvage the C drive of the old computer, and its contents were transferred over to the D drive of the current desktop computer (hence; I think it has two hard drives).

There is an L, but no S or P.

-r-l--- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: D, S, P

Guesses Remaining: 6

[Lady Vulpix]

Breloom?

And I'll expand on what Kyle said: if yu still have the hard drive, it may be recoverable, and the only risk you run is that of not getting the file back, so you have nothing to lose.

[Knight of Time]

Yes, this one's a Breloom, congrats Gabi!

'hands you the plushie'

Well, once again I can't get another plushie until tomorrow afternoon, but let's see an advanced R will help someone else win tonight.

[Fett One]

S in advance please.

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks! Current trading list: Lapras, Slaking, Nidoqueen, Charmander, Jigglypuff, Breloom.

_ _ R _ _ _ (6)
Wrong guesses: S
Guesses left: 8

[Knight of Time]

Is it possible to make a trade even if you've won three plushies for the day? If so, Gabi, just wondering how many of the doubles I have are not on your list?

My updated list of doubles is:

Butterfree
Venusaur (triples since I have 3 of this one)
Spinda
Vibrava
Meowth
Golem
Tentacruel
Chikorita
Shelgon
Gothitelle

I'm curious because I wish I could trade for your extra Jigglypuff and/or extra Breloom plushies at some point, please.

Is there an E?

[mr_pikachu]

Actually, that's been my long-term plan all along. I've been meaning to do it myself, but time's been short. Basically, what I want to do is transfer the old computer's internal hard drive into a special case (awhile back, I saw some on Amazon for roughly $15) that would essentially make it function as an external hard drive. I have no reason to believe that the hard drive itself is irreparably damaged, but I can't retrieve the files until I either pay a company to retrieve them or get the case, as the old computer had no Firewire ports.

Also, I'll try an L here.


EDIT: Yes, you're certainly welcome to trade after your third plushie; trades don't count toward your daily limit for plushie wins. ^_^

[Fett One]

How about A?

[Lady Vulpix]

This should be easy now.

_ _ R L _ A (6)
Wrong guesses: S, E
Guesses left: 7

Kyle: from your list I'm missing the following: Spinda, Vibrava, Meowth, Golem, Tentacruel, Gothitelle.

[Knight of Time]

Okay Gabi...I'll trade you any two of those six doubles I have for your extra Jigglypuff and Breloom plushies...whatever two you want, I'll let you choose.

I already have a plushie of this Pokemon, but I might as well throw in a K for good measure.

[Lady Vulpix]

OK, then. I'll trade my Breloom and Jigglypuff for your Meowth and Vibrava. :)

K _ R L _ A (6)
Wrong guesses: S, E
Guesses left: 7

[Shadow Wolf]

I'm almost sure that this one's a Kirlia

[Knight of Time]

You got it Gabi.

'gives you my spare Meowth and Vibrava plushies for your spare Breloom and Jigglypuff plushies'

Thanks for the trade Gabi, and Shadow Wolf, knowing your guess has to be right, can I have an R in advance please?

[Lady Vulpix]

Louis's guess is right indeed. :)

Was there any doubt?

[Shadow Wolf]

Thanks Gabi! As for your question, well, even if its minimum, there's always a room for doubt.

But don't mind my nerdy thoughts. Here's the next one:


_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _( 8 )

Incorrect: R

Remaining: 8

[Knight of Time]

Let's try an S.

[Lady Vulpix]

Well, the list of known Pokemon is finite, so the extra options run out eventually.

Anyway, is there an L in this one?

[Fett One]

How about a T?

[mr_pikachu]

I'll add an N to the list.

[Shadow Wolf]

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5?


L _ _ _ N _ _ N( 8 )

Incorrect: R,S,T

Remaining: 6

[Knight of Time]

It has to be Lumineon.

[Shadow Wolf]

That display of security can almost be considered an order...

...but as a guess, it is the correct one. Congratulations Kyle! The Lumineon is yours.

*hands over the plushie*

N in advance please.

[mr_pikachu]

Nice one, Kyle. I'll take an R in advance, if you don't mind.

[Fett One]

S in advance please.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Louis, that's a new one for me.

Here's the next puzzle.

N-n--s- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: R

Guesses Remaining: 8

This one's going to go quick, quite literally.

[Lady Vulpix]

Quick like a Ninjask?

[mr_pikachu]

...R in advance, please. :sweat2:

[Knight of Time]

I told you guys this one would go fast, it's a Ninjask, congrats Gabi!

'hands you the plushie'

How about an H in advance please?

[Lady Vulpix]

That was fun. :)

Plushies for trade: Lapras, Slaking, Nidoqueen, Charmander, Ninjask.

_ R _ _ _ _ (6)
Wrong guesses: H
Guesses left: 8

[Knight of Time]

Gabi, would it be okay if I traded you one of the remaining doubles I have for your extra Ninjask plushie, please?

Is there an E?

[mr_pikachu]

In the meantime, I think I'll take a chance on Arceus.

[Lady Vulpix]

Sure. How about :073:?

_ R _ _ _ _ (6)
Wrong guesses: H, E, Arceus
Guesses left: 5

BTW, Brian, please check the Tagboard and/or your PMs.

[mr_pikachu]

This might be a Crobat.

[Lady Vulpix]

No, sorry.

_ R _ _ _ _ (6)
Wrong guesses: H, E, Arceus, Crobat
Guesses left: 3

Oh, and I edited my previous post with a message.

[mr_pikachu]

Then I'll bet it's a Krabby.

[Lady Vulpix]

You win that bet! :D

[Knight of Time]

I'm pretty sure Brian's right (not to mention that's another one I have...it seems with every new plushie I win, the chances of me winning a new one steadily decrease...it's not a big deal as long as I have potential people to trade with, hence why I can hardly wait until Brian's able to do trades again), so I'd like to guess an R in advance please.

And on our latest plushie trade Gabi, sure, I can trade you one of my Tentacruel plushies for your extra Ninjask plushie.

[mr_pikachu]

Thanks, Gabi! That one... uh, might be another new plushie for my collection! (It's not on this list, but I know it's partially outdated, so... yeah.)

Anyway. Here's the next one.


_ _ R _ _ _ _ _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: N/A
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 9


Good luck!

[Knight of Time]

Let's try an A.

[mr_pikachu]

Keep the rally going!


_ _ R _ A _ _ _ (8)

Incorrect Guesses: N/A
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 9

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks for trading, Kyle!

Umm... I'm stumped on this one. Is my list wrong? Wormadam has 2 As and it's the closest I can find.

[Knight of Time]

Could this be a Tornadus?

[mr_pikachu]

Yes, everything is actually correct with the puzzle. Eight letters, "R" in the third spot, "A" in the fifth spot, no incorrect guesses so far. I'm going to assume, from the way you phrased your sentence, that you were not intending to submit "Wormadam" as a guess at this time, Gabi.

EDIT: Kyle's got it! The legendary Tornadus is yours! Well done, Kyle. :)

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Brian, that's netted me two of the legendary Flying types from B/W, since I already have a Thundurus plushie. Maybe someday I'll net the third one. :)

Thanks for the latest trade, Gabi. :)

Anyway, here's the next puzzle.

------ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: n/a

Guesses Remaining: 9

[mr_pikachu]

I'll open this round with an L.

[Lady Vulpix]

I wasn't submitting Wormadam as a guess, not that it would have made any difference. But it has helped me fix my list, which was missing 12 Pokemon. O_o I hope it's fine now.

Congrats, Kyle!

And I'll guess an R.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Gabi...I believe that's my third legendary plushie now that I think of it.

There's no L or R here guys, sorry.

------ (6)

Incorrect Guesses: L, R

Guesses Remaining: 7

[mr_pikachu]

Let's try an N this time.

[Knight of Time]

You got it, I can throw in an N here.

----n- (6)

Incorrect Guesses: L, R

Guesses Remaining: 7

[mr_pikachu]

Hmm... as my last letter guess, how about a K?

[Fett One]

Is this Kakuna?

[Knight of Time]

There's no K here, and it's not Kakuna, sorry guys.

----n- (6)

Incorrect Guesses: L, R, K, Kakuna

Guesses Remaining: 4

[Fett One]

Is there a C?

[Knight of Time]

No C here, sorry.

----n- (6)

Incorrect Guesses: L, R, K, Kakuna, C

Guesses Remaining: 3

[mr_pikachu]

Since I believe that there are only two options left, there shouldn't be any issue with guessing at Audino.

[Knight of Time]

It's not Audino either.

----n-

Incorrect Guesses: L, R, K, Kakuna, C, Audino

Guesses Remaining: 1!

[mr_pikachu]

I certainly hope this is Metang....

[Knight of Time]

It is a Metang, Brian. I guess it's a good thing I'm not a worker, because then the man could have hung if Phione was guessed.

'hands over the Metang plushie'

R in advance please.

[Fett One]

S in advance please.

[mr_pikachu]

Whew! Thanks, Kyle. I was a little worried about that one... it's always nervewracking when you know that if you've made any mistake, you've killed the man. I'm glad it worked out!

Here's the next one.


_ _ _ _ _ _ _ R (8)

Incorrect Guesses: S
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8


Good luck!

[Fett One]

How about an E?

[mr_pikachu]

We're narrowing down the possibilities.


_ _ _ E _ _ _ R (8)

Incorrect Guesses: S
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8

[Fett One]

Is this Accelgor?

[mr_pikachu]

Indeed it is! You win the Accelgor plushie, Fett! Nicely done.

[Fett One]

Thanks.

------- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: 0

Guesses Remaining: 9

[mr_pikachu]

Let's start this with the classic R.

[Lady Vulpix]

I'll add the also classic N.

[Knight of Time]

How about an S?

[Shadow Wolf]

So umm, is the L classic too? (BTW, that's my guess)

[Fett One]

SL----- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: N R

Guesses Remaining:7

[Knight of Time]

Is this a Slakoth?

[Fett One]

Yes it is. Congrats.

R in advance please.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Fett One.

Here's the next puzzle.

-------- (8)

Incorrect Guesses: R

Guesses Remaining: 8

[Fett One]

How about an E?

[Knight of Time]

Sorry, that letter has 0 results in this puzzle (that is, if you were to look in a search engine).

-------- (8)

Incorrect Guesses: R, E

Guesses Remaining: 7

[Lady Vulpix]

You mean you can look up the results for your puzzle on a search engine?

And here I am asking for an L.

[Knight of Time]

Not really Gabi, I was just trying to make a humourous post last time (that is, if someone put in something like "E in (this one's answer), they'd find no results for the answer).

No L here though, sorry.

-------- (8)

Incorrect Guesses: R, E, L

Guesses Remaining: 6

[Lady Vulpix]

How about an O, then?

[Knight of Time]

There is an O, just one that is.

---o---- (8)

Incorrect Guesses: R, E, L

Guesses Remaining: 6

[Lady Vulpix]

One is enough. Is it Nidoking?

[Knight of Time]

It is Nidoking, Gabi.

'hands you the plushie'

Can I possibly have an R in advance, please?

[Lady Vulpix]

Can you? Let me see... You can!

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

Hmm...is there an E?

[Lady Vulpix]

No, there isn't.

Hmm...I'm thinking an A will help here.

[Lady Vulpix]

That should help.

Is this Volcarona?

[Lady Vulpix]

Yes, it is!

[Fett One]

Thanks.

[Shadow Wolf]

*flips coin*

Is this a Magnemite?

[Lady Vulpix]

*Picks the other side of the coin.* Is it Magnezone?

[Fett One]

Magnemite it is. Congrats Shadow Wolf.

R in advance please.

[Knight of Time]

Congrats Louis, can I have an N in advance please?

[Shadow Wolf]

Thanks Gabi!

OK, let's go:

_ _ _ _ _ _ R( 7 )

Incorrect: N

Remaining: 8

[Lady Vulpix]

¿Gracias por qué?

¿Hay una S?

[Knight of Time]

Let's see if there's a P here.

[Shadow Wolf]

=^_^= I wonder... the thanks were for Fett.

S _ _ _ P _ R

Incorrect: N

Remaining: 8

[Knight of Time]

That looks like a Seviper.

[Shadow Wolf]

That's right Kyle! The Seviper is yours. Careful with its tail.

*gives plushie*

N in advance please!

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Shadow Wolf, that's a new one in my collection...anyway, glad to see you back, you had me pretty worried.

Here's the next puzzle.

------- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: N

Guesses Remaining: 8

[Lady Vulpix]

R?

[Shadow Wolf]

Sorry about it. (A storm = no college = not able to log in)

How about an R?

EDIT: Gabi rolled over me, hahahahaha.

[Knight of Time]

I can only accept one of your R's guys...literally, as this puzzle has only one R anyway.

----r-- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: N

Guesses Remaining: 8

[Lady Vulpix]

How about an L, then?

I think Louis's R shouldn't count as a guess.

[Shadow Wolf]

It didn't.

How about an S?

[Knight of Time]

There's no L or S here, sorry guys. And don't worry Gabi, I didn't count the second R as an incorrect guess (unlike in Wheel of Fortune, where if a contestant accidentally guessed a letter for a particular puzzle that was already guessed on that puzzle (whether it is in the puzzle or not), they lose their turn).

----r-- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: N, L, S

Guesses Remaining: 6

[Lady Vulpix]

Alright, then. Is it the mysterious Dugtrio?

[Shadow Wolf]

Hmm, is this a Drowzee?

[Knight of Time]

This one is a Dugtrio, congrats Gabi!

'hands you the plushie'

Could I please have an R in advance?

[Lady Vulpix]

Plushies for trade: Lapras, Slaking, Nidoqueen, Charmander, Dugtrio.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (10)

And I'm off to the contest. Best wishes to me! ;)

[Shadow Wolf]

Hope for your success! And I'll take the Lickilicky. Thanks. :)

[Knight of Time]

I'll take an R in advance please.

Gabi, you want to make another trade? I was wondering if I could offer you one of my remaining doubles for your extra Dugtrio plushie?

[Fett One]

S in advance please?

[Lady Vulpix]

Louis, thanks and congratulations! The Lickilicky plushie is yours.

I still don't know how I did in the contest, but at least I didn't get sick this time!

Kyle: sure. What doubles do you have at this time?

And L in advance, since we're at it.

[Knight of Time]

Gabi: Here's my current list of doubles.

Butterfree
Venusaur (triples since I have 3 of this one)
Spinda
Golem
Chikorita
Shelgon
Gothitelle

[Lady Vulpix]

Alright, I'll take the Spinda plushie for my Dugtrio plushie if that's OK.

[Shadow Wolf]

Thanks Gabi! I have to move my plushie collection from my SD card to this computer (which is now my personal desktop; now with a new RAM, woo-hoo), but I'm sure this one's a new plushie.

In the meantime, let's see who wins this one:

_ _ _ _ L _ S _ _ _( 10 )

Incorrect: R

Remaining: 8

[Lady Vulpix]

If it's Typhlosion, then I do. :)

[Shadow Wolf]

She said Yes!!!

...On winning a plushie, that is. Congrats Gabi, the Typhlosion is yours.

*gives plushie*

N in advance please.

[Fett One]

R in advance please.

[Lady Vulpix]

Yay! :157:

[Knight of Time]

The trade is fine with me, Gabi.

'gives you my extra Spinda plushie for your extra Dugtrio plushie'

Is there an S?

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks, Kyle. And no, there isn't.

L _ _ _ _ _ (6)
Wrong guesses: N, R, S
Guesses left: 6

[Fett One]

How about an E?

[Lady Vulpix]

L E _ _ _ _ (6)
Wrong guesses: N, R, S

[Knight of Time]

Looks like Ledyba.

[Fett One]

S in advance please?

[Lady Vulpix]

Kyle got it.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Gabi, that's a new one.

Here's the next puzzle.

------- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: S

Guesses Remaining: 8

[Lady Vulpix]

Let's have some T.

[Knight of Time]

I can serve you a T...but it has to go to the puzzle first.

---t--- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: S

Guesses Remaining: 8

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks. Now how about an L?

[Knight of Time]

One leaping L, coming up.

--lt--- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: S

Guesses Remaining: 8

[Lady Vulpix]

Umm... 3 options. Does it leap like a Jolteon?

[Knight of Time]

I don't remember seeing a Jolteon leap, but this isn't a Jolteon.

--lt--- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: S, Jolteon

Guesses Remaining: 6

[Lady Vulpix]

Oh, I think I have. In the intro to some early season of the anime, maybe? Anyway, Voltorb may not be good for leaping, but it's my next guess.

[Knight of Time]

Oh, well this one's a Voltorb.

'hands you the plushie'

I guess that T must have been pretty spicy (hence how Voltorb can explode), but nonetheless, I think I'll take a T myself, in advance please.

[Lady Vulpix]

_ _ _ _ _ T (6)
Guesses left: 9

[Knight of Time]

Let's try a U.

[Fett One]

How about a K?

Sorry, no E either.

I think an L will help here.

Wrong guesses: U, K, E, L, Golbat
Guesses left: 3

[Shadow Wolf]

Hmm, is this a Crobat?

[Knight of Time]

Might as well try Woobat.

[Lady Vulpix]

And the winner is... Louis!

Congratulations!

[Knight of Time]

It's okay, this is one I already have...R in advance please.

[Shadow Wolf]

Hmm... an E made its way.


but not to the puzzle...

_ _ _ _( 4 )

Incorrect: R,O,E

Remaining: 6

[Knight of Time]

Hmm, well let's see if one of the remaining possibilities here is Natu.

[Shadow Wolf]

Hmm, a tiny bird passed by here...




...and it landed in your hands. Well done Kyle! The Natu is yours.

*gives plushie*

N in advance please.

[Knight of Time]

Whew, thanks Louis, that's another new one for me.

Here's the next puzzle.

There is an R...but if I was to put it into this puzzle, it'd be thrown out...somehow.

--------- (9)

Incorrect Guesses: N, R

Guesses Remaining: 7

[Shadow Wolf]

Indeed! Then let's see if a T manages to find a place here.

[Lady Vulpix]

I'll try an L just because I'm back home.

[Knight of Time]

There is a T here, but no L, sorry.

--------t (9)

Incorrect Guesses: N, R, L

Guesses Remaining: 6

[Lady Vulpix]

It's OK, now I know it has to be Wobbuffet.

It is Wobbuffet Gabi.

I already had one of those, so it's up for trade!

It should be easy now.

[Knight of Time]

I think this is an Anorith.
