Pokemon BrainStrain v.14 (approved by Lady Vulpix)

[Shadow Wolf]

Pokemon BrainStrain

Version 14

Admin Approved by Lady Vulpix


Workers: Knight of Time, Mikachu Yukitatsu

This game is similar in ways to Pokemon Hangman, The Riddle Game, and Lingo. However, it has some differences. To play this game, you are given the name of a Pokemon, but only the first letter. You are not given the number of letters in the Pokemon's name though, so to figure a puzzle out, you have to use a bit of logic. Basically, you have to guess Pokemon names that start with the same letter as the one being done (unlike in Pokemon Hangman, you cannot guess letters, you have to find at least one more of their positions through the guesses made, besides the first letter). The thing is, each time a guess is made, the one whose turn it is has to indicate how many letters the guess has in common with the Pokemon being done, if any (aka the same letter(s) in the same place(s) the guess has with the correct Pokemon, for example, if the Pokemon is Breloom, and someone guesses Bronzor, you'd post Br???o*, where the question marks each represent a single letter, and the asterisk represents at least one letter (hence why the asterisk is on the end when applicable). If someone correctly guesses the Pokemon, they will win a figurine of the Pokemon, and can now make their own logic Pokemon puzzle for everyone else to figure out.

When a puzzle is being done, individuals can make as many guesses as they want per puzzle, but there is a max of 9 incorrect guesses allowed on a single puzzle. If a 10th incorrect guess occurs on a particular puzzle, the Pokemon that was being done is revealed, but nobody wins the figurine, and a worker will do the next puzzle (it's similar to what happens if the man hangs in Pokemon Hangman; a worker has to do the next puzzle if a "hanging" here happens).

In the event someone accidentally misspells the name of a Pokemon while another person is doing a puzzle, the person doing the puzzle needs to disregard the guess, since a misspelling of a Pokemon's name can still give away information. For such a situation, the misspelled guess isn't counted as an incorrect guess, thus no information comes out of it.

When someone here is doing a puzzle, you're welcome to use the BrainStrain Calculator (http://forboards.prophp.org/BrainStrain.php), a big thanks goes to Lady Vulpix for making this calculator.

A note on legendaries, shinies, mega evolved, Dynamaxed, and Gigantamaxed figurines- even though they can come up here, only workers can give them out, with the exception of Dynamaxed figurines which can be given out by anyone. Also, if you win a legendary figurine that has more than one form, you may choose its form. However, in the event you win a shiny Articuno, Zapdos, or Moltres, it'll be in its Kanto form as the Galar forms of Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres cannot be shiny.

In addition to Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos, and Galarian Moltres, the following Pokemon cannot be shiny here:

Cosplay Pikachu, Pikachu in a cap, Spiky-eared Pichu, Victini, Keldeo, Meloetta, Ash-Greninja, Fancy Pattern Vivillon, Poke Ball Pattern Vivillon, Hoopa, Volcanion, Cosmog, Cosmoem, Magearna, Marshadow, Gigantamax Melmetal, Zacian, Zamazenta, Eternatus, Kubfu, Urshifu, Zarude, Glastrier, Spectrier, and Calyrex.

We encourage players here to take responsibility in using the Gallery (http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/showthread.php?t=23838), so if you win a new figurine, you should update your post there (or make one, if you have at least one figurine, but haven't posted in the Gallery yet) to reflect the addition of your new figurine.

Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon/Sword/Shield Pokemon are now available to be won as figurines (including Alolan and Galarian versions of earlier Pokemon).

Also, if it's your birthday, you're more than welcome to pick any figurine you want for your birthday (excluding legendaries), however, you cannot pick a figurine that is shiny, mega evolved, Dynamaxed, or Gigantamaxed, as they are all obviously rarer than legendaries (if you're asking for a figurine of a Pokemon that has more than one form, you can choose its form). When it is your birthday, just post here saying what regular coloured/sized, non-mega evolved, non-legendary figurine you want and one of the workers will give you your figurine on their next post.


Players, you may use the Official Pokemon BrainStrain Randomizer (http://forboards.prophp.org/randomizer_bw.html) to help you pick a Pokemon for a BrainStrain puzzle here. If you select a Pokemon with alternate forms using the Official Pokemon BrainStrain Randomizer, it will tell you that form, using either parentheses, like "UNOWN (A)", or additional flavor text, like "BURMY Steel." Please don't include this extra information when doing your puzzle. You may reveal it though, if someone has won the figurine.


__________

OK, it's been a while since I last did my worker duties, so apologies if there is anything wrong (feel free to correct me please. :) ). Now, let's hand it over to Lady Vulpix who will host the next one (if I read correctly too, hahahahahaha).

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks for creating this thread, Louis!

The next Pokemon begins with a K.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll try Karrablast.

[Shadow Wolf]

No problem. I will try my best to catch up.

Meanwhile, let's see what a Kingdra can unveil.

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Kadabra.

[Lady Vulpix]

Karrablast: K*
Kingdra: K*
Kadabra: K???b*

Nice start!

[Knight of Time]

Should be Krabby.

[Lady Vulpix]

It is! Well done, Kyle! *Hands over a Krabby figurine.*

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Gabi, that's a new figurine for me.

Okay, prepare yourselves for a challenge. This one begins with a $...I mean S.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Serperior?

[Knight of Time]

Ooh, Mikachu you have scored a critical hit here.

Serperior: S?r???i*

[Lady Vulpix]

Is it Shroomish?

[Knight of Time]

It didn't take long at all for this one to be won, congrats Gabi! The Shroomish figurine is yours.

'hands it to you'

Go for it.

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks! The next Pokemon begins with an M.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

OK, as I'd say in Finnish:

MINUN ensimmäinen arvaukseni on MINUN!
My first guess will be Minun!

:D

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Machamp.

[Lady Vulpix]

Good one, Mikachu! But Kyle's guess has proven to be the most helpful this time.

Minun: M*
Machamp: M??h?m

[Knight of Time]

It has to be Mothim.

[Lady Vulpix]

Well done!

*Hands Kyle a Mothim figurine.*

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Gabi, that's a new figurine.

Next one begins with the letter that crazy Mr. Crocker from Fairly OddParents tries to give Timmy Turner (aka an F).

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll start this one with a starter Pokemon...

Fennekin?

[Knight of Time]

Fennekin: F*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How about Frosmoth?

[Knight of Time]

Frosmoth: F*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

What about Flygon?

[Knight of Time]

Flygon: Fl*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Flapple?

[Knight of Time]

Flapple: Fl*

You have one guess left on this one Mikachu. Careful not to waste it.

[Lady Vulpix]

Is it Fletchling?

[Knight of Time]

A little birdie told me you are right, Gabi!

'hands you the Fletchling figurine'

Go for it.

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks! That is one nice little bird. :)

As for the next one... It starts with a P.

[Knight of Time]

I'm gonna go for Woody Woodpecker...I mean Pikipek.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Popplio?

[Lady Vulpix]

That's just amazing. Kyle got it on the first try!

Congratulations! *Hands Kyle a Pikipek figurine.*

Funny, we got two little birds in a row.

[Knight of Time]

Wow, it's been a while since I got one of these on the first try (I remember when I got a Raichu figurine on the first try one time when Brian was hosting a puzzle).

Thanks Gabi, that's a new figurine for me.

Okay, I present an M for you guys this time.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll start guessing with Mawile.

[Knight of Time]

A really good guess, but not what I'm looking for.

Mawile: M??i?e

[Lady Vulpix]

I'll try Mr. Mime.

[Knight of Time]

Oh, you were so close Gabi.

Mr. Mime: Mr?ime

[Lady Vulpix]

Oh, wow! Must be Mr. Rime, then.

[Knight of Time]

It is indeed.

'hands you the Mr. Rime figurine'

Go for it Gabi.

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks!
The next one begins with a D.

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Druddigon first.

[Lady Vulpix]

Druddigon: D*

[Knight of Time]

Gonna try Dewpider next.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll try Dusclops.

[Lady Vulpix]

Great combination of guesses! It should be easy now.

Dewpider: D??????r
Dusclops: Dus??o*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Is this Dusknoir?

[Lady Vulpix]

Yes, it is! Congratulations, Mikachu! You win a Dusknoir figurine!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thanks Gabi.

This one starts with S!

[Lady Vulpix]

I'll start with a Starly.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Starly: S*

[Lady Vulpix]

OK... Let's try Sandslash.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Sandslash: S*

[Lady Vulpix]

Hmm... Still a lot of options left. Let's see if Scolipede helps.

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Serperior.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Scolipede: S*
Serperior: S*

[Lady Vulpix]

Let's narrow things down with Spinda.

[Knight of Time]

How about Squirtle?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Spinda: S*
Squirtle: S???r?le

[Lady Vulpix]

Iiiit's Smeargle!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

And Smeargle it is. Here you are, a Smeargle figurine.

Your turn!

[Lady Vulpix]

I already have one, so this one's up for trade.

D is next.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Starting with Darumaka.

[Lady Vulpix]

Darumaka: D*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How about Delphox?

[Knight of Time]

Gabi, I have a few spare figurines (Grovyle, Tirtouga, Timburr) if you want to make a trade.

Meanwhile, I'll try Dragapult for this one.

[Lady Vulpix]

I'd like to trade my Smeargle for your Tirtouga, if that's OK with you. :)

Delphox: D*

Dragapult: Draga*

That was a useful guess!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Dragalge!

[Lady Vulpix]

Well done, Mikachu!

*Gives Mikachu a Dragalge figurine.*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thanks!

This one starts with G.

[Knight of Time]

The trade is fine with me Gabi.

'takes your spare Smeargle figurine and gives you my spare Tirtouga figurine'

Thanks for the trade.

Meanwhile, gonna try Grimmsnarl first.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Grimmsnarl: G???m

[Knight of Time]

Let's try Golem.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Golem: G???m

[Knight of Time]

Oh, well it must be Gloom then.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

And Gloom it is. Here you are!

Your turn.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Mikachu, that's a new figurine for me.

The starting letter here is known for its bravery (aka it being bold).

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

And I'll be bold and start with Moltres.

[Knight of Time]

It's a bold guess indeed, but Moltres isn't what I'm looking for. However, it provides some very valuable information.

Moltres: M?lt*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Is this Meltan?

[Knight of Time]

Alas, it's not Meltan. This should make it easy now though.

Meltan: M?ltan*

[Lady Vulpix]

It must be Miltank, then.

[Knight of Time]

It is indeed. You get the Miltank figurine, Gabi!

'hands it to you'

Go for it.

[Lady Vulpix]

Nice! I handed out a Golett in Hangman and got a MIltank handed to me here in return. :)

Now this round is bound to be short, for the next Pokemon begins with a... Q!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Quilladin?

[Knight of Time]

There's a 50/50 chance this is one I don't have, so I'll try Quilava.

[Lady Vulpix]

It's not exactly a 50/50 chance...

But now It should be a 100% chance.

Quilladin: Q?il*
Quilava: Q?il*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Qwilfish!

[Lady Vulpix]

Congratulation, Mikachu! You've landed a Qwilfish figurine!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thank you very much.

S starts this one.

[Knight of Time]

Gonna start with Silicobra.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Silicobra: S*

[Lady Vulpix]

Let's try Starly.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Starly: S*

[Lady Vulpix]

OK, I'll try Sandile now.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Sandile: S*

[Lady Vulpix]

Still many options! Let's see if Shinx can help narrow them down.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Shinx: S*

[Lady Vulpix]

This isn't over. I'll try Snover.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Snover: S?o??r*

[Lady Vulpix]

Finally! It must be Slowbro, then. :)

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

And Slowbro it is. ¡Aquí tiene!

[Lady Vulpix]

No need to be so formal!

The next Pokemon begins with the same letter as my name. (My first name, that is, not my username).

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

:D

Gabite. Couldn't resist.

[Lady Vulpix]

Hehe. Last time I could resist, and that's why I didn't get it.

Gabite: G*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Okay, let's try Golem next.

[Lady Vulpix]

Golem: G*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Growlithe?

[Lady Vulpix]

That's close! Nice!

Growlithe: Gr???i*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Grumpig. It should be.

[Lady Vulpix]

And it is! Congratulations, Mikachu! You win a Grumpig figurine!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Nice! Thanks!

The third letter of the alphabet starts off this one, being C.

[Knight of Time]

Let's see if Charmander fits.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Charmander: C*

[Lady Vulpix]

Let's see if Corsola can help.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Corsola: Co*

[Lady Vulpix]

I see! That does narrow things down. I'll try Combee next.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Combee: Com?e*

[Lady Vulpix]

That pokemon must be quite Comfey. Even if it's a figurine.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

And Comfey it is. How comfy.

Well done, your turn!

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks!

OOOOOOOOK... Let's start with an O this time.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Omastar?

[Lady Vulpix]

Omastar: O*

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Oddish.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How about Onix?

[Lady Vulpix]

Oddish: O*
Onix: O*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Trying Oshawott.

[Lady Vulpix]

Oshawott: O*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Could this be Obstagoon?

[Lady Vulpix]

Perhaps it could have been, butit's not.

Obstagoon: O*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

OK, my last guess for this one is Orbeetle.

[Lady Vulpix]

As was the case with my last guess in the previous round, yours is the winner! Congratulations, Mikachu! You win an Orbeetle figurine. :)

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thanks. The more Gen VIII Pokemon I gain, the more I want to buy Nintendo Switch and Pokemon Sword and/or Shield.

Anyways, it's time for a Pokemon whose name starts with C again.

[Knight of Time]

I have to get back into this game, so my first guess here will be the fiery Centiskorch.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Centiskorch: C*

[Lady Vulpix]

I hope Charizard can help.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Charizard: C*

[Lady Vulpix]

I doubt it's going to be Comfey again, but it can provide some information.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Comfey: C*

[Lady Vulpix]

OK, that narrows things down a bit. My 3rd guess will be Crobat.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Crobat: C*

[Lady Vulpix]

Ooooh! Only 5 options left! I need to plan my next move carefully. Let's see... Cascoon should do the trick.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Cascoon: Ca??o*

[Lady Vulpix]

Oh! It must be Carkol!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

And Carkol it is.

Te toca a ti.
Your turn.

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks! This merits some T. :)

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Starting guessing with Trapinch.

[Lady Vulpix]

Trapinch: T????n*
Nice start!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Toucannon?

[Knight of Time]

It could also be Turtonator.

[Lady Vulpix]

Mikachu got it. Congratulations!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thanks.

K starts the next Pokemon name.

[firepokemon]

Kakuna

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Kakuna: K*

[firepokemon]

Kirlia

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Kirlia: K*

[firepokemon]

Krabby

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Krabby: K*

[Knight of Time]

This game needs some new life...meanwhile, how about Klinklang?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

*wipes dust and cobwebs*

Klinklang: Kl??k*

[Knight of Time]

I'm very sure Klefki fits here.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

And Klefki it is. Here you are, a Klefki figurine.

It's been so long. Fortunately, I still had my BrainStrain file on my laptop.

[Knight of Time]

That's a good thing, Mikachu.

Now, before I post the next puzzle here, I have some news to share. As you may already know, Louis has resigned from his worker duties in Pokemon Hangman, and he has also resigned from his duties in Pokemon BrainStrain as well. I'm not gonna bother going into details this time like I did in Pokemon Hangman, however, as he was my only co-worker, I've been thinking of bringing in a new co-worker here, and I already have a great candidate in mind.

Mikachu Yukitatsu, congratulations! I'm honored to welcome you as my new co-worker for this game.

Meanwhile, the next one begins with an S.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Well, thanks for the promotion! Now this may be a dumb question, does this mean I can give out Legendaries in this game?

Meanwhile, my first guess is Serperior.

[Knight of Time]

If it's your turn, yes you can. I'll PM you in a moment.

Serperior: S*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Okay.

Aiming higher, Silvally is my next guess.

[Knight of Time]

You'll have to do better than that, I'm afraid.

Silvally: S*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Maybe Suicune?

[Knight of Time]

A bold guess, but it's not gonna help you much, sorry.

Suicune: S*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How about Samurott?

[Knight of Time]

I'm afraid you're getting colder. I really don't want to see you waste your last guess.

Samurott: S*

[Lady Vulpix]

I will summon a Staryu and see if it helps.

[Knight of Time]

Staryu: S*

[Lady Vulpix]

OK, that narrows it down a bit. Let's see if Slowking can get us another step closer.

[Knight of Time]

It got you more then a step closer Gabi, it got you the win! This is just your regular (Johto) Slowking, though.

'hands you the figurine'

Go for it!

[Lady Vulpix]

Oh, cool! I didn't have one of those!

The next one begins with a C, so chances are it'll go faster.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

My starter is going to be Chikorita.

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Charmander.

[Lady Vulpix]

Wow, nice start! I think these two clues should be enough.

Chikorita: Ch????i
Charmander: Ch?r*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Is this Cherubi?

[Lady Vulpix]

Indeed it is. :) Congratulations! You win a Cherubi figurine andthe title of host for the next round.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thanks! This one begins with G.

[Knight of Time]

Gonna go with Grimmsnarl first.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Grimmsnarl: G*

[Lady Vulpix]

Oh, my initial! I'll try Golduck.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Golduck: G?l*

[Knight of Time]

How about Gallade?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Getting closer and closer.

Gallade: Gal?a*

[Knight of Time]

It's got to be Galvantula.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

And so it is. Here you are, a Galvantula figurine!

Your turn.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Mikachu.

Okay, next one's gonna begin with the first letter of my username, so give it your best shot guys, K?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll be bold and start right ahead with Kyogre.

[Knight of Time]

Your bold guess has fallen flat, I'm afraid.

Kyogre: K*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How about Karrablast?

[Knight of Time]

You're a tad warmer.

Karrablast: Ka*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Kabuto is my next guess.

[Knight of Time]

Kabuto: Ka*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Is this Kakuna?

[Knight of Time]

Kakuna: Ka*

Careful Mikachu, once again you have one guess remaining here.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

My final guess is Kadabra.

[Knight of Time]

Final guesses don't always pay off for an individual here, but in your case Mikachu, it has paid off for you here! You won a Kadabra figurine!

'hands the figurine to you'

Go for it.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thanks, Knight of Time.

Now if you have watched Death Note anime, the initial of the next Pokemon may be familiar, for it is this here person (https://deathnote.fandom.com/wiki/L_(character)) i.e. L.

[Lady Vulpix]

Oh, I got here right in time for a new round to start! Let's open with Litleo this time.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Litleo: L???e*

[Knight of Time]

Wow, that narrowed things down considerably! I'll try Larvesta.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

You arrived with your guess just in time, Knight of Time, for this really is Larvesta! Here you are!

Your turn.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Mikachu, that's a new figurine for me.

Okay, I present you guys with an I as the starting letter of this one.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

My first guess for this one will be Infernape.

[Knight of Time]

Infernape: In?e*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Trying Indeedee next.

[Knight of Time]

Indeedee: In?e*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Inteleon?

[Knight of Time]

You got it! Here's an Inteleon figurine for you Mikachu.

'hands it to you'

Go for it.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thanks.

This one starts with an F.

[firepokemon]

Ferrothorn

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Ferrothorn: F??r*

[Knight of Time]

How about Flareon?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

And Flareon it is. Here you are!

Your turn, Knight of Time.

[Knight of Time]

Nice, thanks Mikachu!

Lookie here, a new puzzle is ready for you guys!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'm going to start with Larversta.

[Knight of Time]

Sorry Mikachu, your guess is misspelled, so I can't accept it yet.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Oops! I mean Larvesta.

[Knight of Time]

That's better, although I'm afraid it won't be of much help.

Larvesta: L*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Actually, that excludes at least 9 Pokemon...

Lilligant is my next guess.

[Knight of Time]

Lilligant: L*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How about Luxio, then?

[Knight of Time]

Luxio: L*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

My second last try for this one is going to be Loudred.

[Knight of Time]

Looks like you're down to one remaining guess once again.

Loudred: L*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Okay, Ledyba. Then I'm done.

[Knight of Time]

Oh Mikachu...how I hate having to tell you this. It's not Ledyba either (at the rate we're going, since we don't have many players these days, we may have to lift this rule. I dunno if we can change it in the middle of a puzzle though).

Ledyba: L*

[Lady Vulpix]

Lycanroc comes in to save the day! Or the night... Whatever or whatever the time may be.

[Knight of Time]

Lycanroc has indeed saved the day...for you Gabi! This happens to be a Dusk Form Lycanroc.

'hands it to you'

I'm gonna privately consult with Mikachu about the limit on the number of guesses per person on each puzzle, and once we make a decision on whether or not to lift that rule, one of us will post here. In the meantime, go for it Gabi!

[Lady Vulpix]

Thank you, Kyle!

The next one begins with the same letter as your name!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll try Krabby.

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Kadabra myself.

Also, Mikachu and I have come to an agreement on lifting the rule on 5 being the maximum amount of guesses per person allowed per puzzle, so from now on, players may make as many guesses as necessary whenever a puzzle is being done here (the rule on the maximum amount of guesses per puzzle is staying at 9 for the time being despite the fact we've never had a situation where a figurine was not won).

I'm gonna edit the first post to reflect this change shortly.

[Lady Vulpix]

Krabby: K*
Kadabra: K*

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Klinklang next.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll evolve my first guess into Kingler.

[Lady Vulpix]

Next poster gets it!

Klinklang: Kl??k*
Kingler: K*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

So this is Klefki?

[Lady Vulpix]

Indeed it is!

Congratulations, Mikachu! You win a Klefki figurine. Please don't lose your keys!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thanks a lot.

Once again, L starts the next one!

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Lugia.

Meanwhile, Louis and I are gonna do a figurine trade; I'm trading him my spare Timburr figurine for his spare Plusle figurine, so he should be here fairly soon to confirm the trade.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Lugia: L*

[Shadow Wolf]

I'll try Lugia.

Meanwhile, Louis and I are gonna do a figurine trade; I'm trading him my spare Timburr figurine for his spare Plusle figurine, so he should be here fairly soon to confirm the trade.

Apologies for lateness, but sure thing: *proceeds to trade*

Meanwhile, I'll try Landorus for comparison.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Not only is Landorus a good guess for comparison, but also a good guess because it is right! Congratulations Shadow Wolf! You acquired the Guardian of the Fields!

[Shadow Wolf]

Wow, that was unexpected. Still, it is a pleasant surprise. Thank you so much.

Speaking of pleasant surprises, the very first letter of pleasant marks the beginning of the next puzzle (the letter P, of course).

[Knight of Time]

Gonna go with Perrserker first.
