Pokemon BrainStrain

Version 15

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 (https://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.


__________

I hope I did this right. Knight of Time should post the next puzzle shortly. Best of luck.

[Knight of Time]

No worries Mikachu, you posted it exactly as I would have wanted.

Anyway, the first puzzle here begins with the first letter...of first.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll start guessing with an XY starter, Fennekin.

[Knight of Time]

Fennekin: F*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll stay with XY starters. How about Froakie?

[Knight of Time]

Froakie: F?o*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I think this is Florges.

[Knight of Time]

It is a Florges, Mikachu. This one is holding a blue flower.

'hands it to you'

Go for it.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thanks. This fits nicely since I already have a Flabébé figurine with a Blue Flower.

Now it's time for some T.

[Knight of Time]

Trying Torracat first.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Starters and their evolutions are popular today, eh?

Torracat: T??r*

[Shadow Wolf]

Let's try Tsareena

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Tsareena: T??r*

[Knight of Time]

I believe Tauros fits here.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

And Tauros is your figurine. Here you are, Knight of Time!

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Mikachu, although I already have a Tauros figurine. This one will go up for trade.

Meanwhile, I'm gonna do something I noticed you did here before (hope you don't mind me being a bit of a "copycat" here). The next one begins with the first letter of both my username and real name.

[Shadow Wolf]

OK. Let's see how this one fares out. Considering the Knight of Time slashes through the competition, I think it is fair to start with Kartana.

[Knight of Time]

I can't help being a strong competitor (not just in this game, but in Hangman too), simply because it's just a part of who I am as a person.

Kartana: Kar?a*

[Shadow Wolf]

Hehehe, true that. And yet my statement has a double meaning since it also refers to Link, so in that way, you share similarities.

Anyway, let's try Karrablast.

[Knight of Time]

lol, you're comparing me to Link?

Anyway, you got this one Louis, it was Karrablast.

'hands the figurine to you'

Go for it.

[Shadow Wolf]

Thank you so much Kyle. And yeah, I al comparing You to the Hero of Time, hehehe.


Anyway, Just the first letter of the word Start is what makes the next puzzle... Start.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll start guessing with Salamence.

[Shadow Wolf]

Looks like it flew over the puzzle's head, so to speak.

Salamence: S*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

My next guess is Serperior.

[Shadow Wolf]

This guess was superior indeed.





Serperior: S????r*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Is....................... this................................ Slowbro?

[Shadow Wolf]

You.... Are...

Uh... Hmm...

...oh, correct! You are correct! In fact, you might have gotten the upper hand, so to speak, since this is a Galarian Slowbro. Well done!

*Gives Galarian Slowbro figurine*

Your turn!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Wait for it... Thanks :)

This one starts with an S as well!

[Shadow Wolf]

Hehehe, that was fun.

Anyway, let's start with Solgaleo.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Solgaleo: S*

[Shadow Wolf]

OK. How about Serperior?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Serperior: S*

[Shadow Wolf]

For my next guess: Sandile

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Shaymin.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Knight of Time, you got this one! Enjoy your Shaymin figurine.

The randomizer didn't specify the forme so I guess you can decide that.

Your turn.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Mikachu, this happens to be my second Shaymin figurine. Since I got the first one in its Sky Forme, I'd like this one to be in its Land Forme please.

Meanwhile, let us start a new puzzle. The bold letter begins it.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Sure thing! As for this puzzle, I'll start with Meowstic.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks. :)

Meowstic: M*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How about Magnezone?

[Knight of Time]

Magnezone: M*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Or perhaps Misdreavus?

[Knight of Time]

Ooh, you've gotten quite a bit warmer.

Misdreavus: M???re*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

As warm as Moltres?

[Knight of Time]

I'm afraid you've only gotten slightly warmer.

Moltres: Mo??re*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

So this is Morgrem?

[Knight of Time]

It is a Morgrem, Mikachu.

'hands over the figurine'

Go for it.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thanks!

This one starts with a V.

[Knight of Time]

Let's see if Victini brings victory.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Well, a good start, at least.

Victini: Vi*

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Virizion next.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Virizion: Vi*

[Knight of Time]

Maybe it is Vigoroth?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Vigoroth: Vi*

[Knight of Time]

Okay, I believe it's Vibrava.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Are you sure you aren't overlooking something?

Vibrava: Vi*

[Knight of Time]

I guess I forgot about Vileplume.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Now you got it :)

[Knight of Time]

Thanks ikachu.

...
...
...

Oops, I forgot the first letter of your name, my apologies my Finnish friend. It starts this one.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Hehe, that was funny. I'll start with Misdreavus this time.

[Knight of Time]

Misdreavus: M*

[Shadow Wolf]

Let's try Magearna.

[Knight of Time]

Magearna: M*

[Shadow Wolf]

OK. How about Morpeko?

[Knight of Time]

Morpeko: M*

[Shadow Wolf]

Hmm... Let's see if Mewtwo generates any clue here.

[Knight of Time]

Mewtwo: Me*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll try Metapod.

EDIT: No, it can't be Metapod. Oh well.

[Knight of Time]

Metapod: Me*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Meowth?

[Knight of Time]

You got it, Mikachu! This is just an ordinary Meowth though (from Kanto).

'hands it to you'

Go for it.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thanks.

C is the start of this one!

[Shadow Wolf]

OK. Let's go with Celesteela.

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Cobalion.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Celesteela: C*
Cobalion: C*

[Knight of Time]

How about Cursola?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Cursola: C*

[Shadow Wolf]

I'll try Cacturne.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Cacturne: C*

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Chingling.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Chingling: Ch?n*

[Knight of Time]

I wonder if it's Chandelure?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

You don't have to wonder anymore. Turns out this is Chandelure. Here you are!

Your turn.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Mikachu.

Okay, time to get close to the tail of the alphabet. I present a V to start you guys off for this one.

[Shadow Wolf]

OK, not sure if it can be a guaranteed victory, but I believe Victini is a good guess to start with.

Edit: substituted a V for a B in the part where it says "...it can Be a...". The guess was not edited

[Knight of Time]

And we're off to a great start!

Victini: V?????i*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Could this be Vanillish?

[Shadow Wolf]

I'll try Vanillite.

[Knight of Time]

Could this be Vanillish?


I'll try Vanillite.

A pair of good guesses guys, as a matter of fact, one of you made the winning guess!

The winner is...

Louis! Can you imagine eating a mountain of ice cream? Even if you can't, you're probably wondering what a massive amount of ice cream has to do with your win here. This happens to be a Dynamax Vanillite!

'hands over the oversized figurine'

Go for it.

[Shadow Wolf]

Well, I can say with confidence that I'm ready for summer, hahahaha. Thanks Kyle.

I believe you can C the letter that begins the next puzzle, right?

[Knight of Time]

I can hardly wait for summer myself. Meanwhile, I'll start with Charmander.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll try Cloyster.

[Shadow Wolf]

Looks like the progress is overwhelming.


Charmander: C?a??a??er
Cloyster: C*

[Knight of Time]

Looks like a Crabrawler.

[Shadow Wolf]

And that is correct. You have earned a Crabrawler figurine.

*Hands over figurine*

Your turn!

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Louis, that's a new figurine.

Okay, the first consonant to come immediately before a vowel is your starting letter here (hint: it doesn't come immediately before A, I, O, or U).

[Shadow Wolf]

*insert incredibly complex problem meme here*

Let's start with Dialga.

[Knight of Time]

Dialga: D*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How about Donphan?

Edit: No, it cannot be Donphan. Why it's always this way? Must be more careful.

[Shadow Wolf]

I'll try Duosion now.

[Knight of Time]

Donphan: D*
Duosion: Du???o*

[Shadow Wolf]

Hmm... Let's try Dusknoir.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

It could also be Dusclops.

[Knight of Time]

Louis got it once again, as this was Dusknoir. Better luck next time Mikachu!

'hands the Dusknoir figurine over to its winner'

Go for it Louis.

[Shadow Wolf]

Excellent. Thank you Kyle. I do have a Dusk por already, so this one's up for trade.

Now, think of the fourth vowel in the English alphabet. From there, go back 2 letters and you will land in the letter that starts the next puzzle (if you landed in L, you went too far back).

[Knight of Time]

lol, are you copying my playful trick for figuring out the first letter, Louis?

Let's start with Manectric.

[Shadow Wolf]

You can definitely say it was inspired by your mastery of it. Then again, we were also similar in our approach to games like "Whack-A-TPMer", if you remember those, hehehe.

Manectric: M*

[Knight of Time]

I miss that game (as well as a certain person I used to love whacking in it; if he returns to TPM someday and the game is revived, I'd love to try a new whack)! Meanwhile, let's try Meowth next.

[Shadow Wolf]

There were a few players I recall, but it was indeed a fun game to play. As for this one:

Meowth: M*

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Muk next.

[Shadow Wolf]

Not a stinky guess by any means, though I do wonder how much progress it has been made:

Muk: M*

[Knight of Time]

Let's try Mr. Rime.

[Shadow Wolf]

And you nail it Kyle. The Charlie Chaplin lookalike is yours.

*Hands over Mr. Rime figurine*

Your turn! :)

[Knight of Time]

lol, cool (I mean that quite literally).

One of my favorite exotic fruits is green, and has many, many tiny edible seeds in it. Its first letter is the starting letter for this puzzle.

If you're thinking of a kiwi, you'd be right.

[Shadow Wolf]

OK, let's start with Keldeo

[Knight of Time]

Keldeo: K*

[Shadow Wolf]

OK. And now I'll try Kyogre.

[Knight of Time]

Kyogre: K*

[Shadow Wolf]

OK, let's go now with Karrablast.

[Knight of Time]

Karrablast: K?r*

[Shadow Wolf]

I believe this is a Kirlia.

[Knight of Time]

I believe that you are right!

'hands you a Kirlia figurine'

Go for it, Louis.

[Shadow Wolf]

Thank you very much Kyle. Now, before this figurine teleports on me (which was a way I failed a shiny Kirlia once), let me give the C as the letter that will start the next puzzle.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Starting with Charizard.

[Shadow Wolf]

The favorite of many, but not of this puzzle:


Charizard: C*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

My next guess is Carvanha.

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Clobbopus.

[Shadow Wolf]

Though the progress is not apparent, I do like your fighting spirit guys.


Carvanha: C*
Clobbopus: C*

[Knight of Time]

What about Cyndaquil?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How about Cubone?

[Shadow Wolf]

One of you got closer:

Cyndaquil: C*
Cubone: Cu??n*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

So is this Cufant?

[Shadow Wolf]

That is correct Mikachu. The Cufant figurine is your prize this time.

*Hands over figurine*

Well played! And now it's your turn.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Gracias.

E starts this Encounter!

[Shadow Wolf]

OK, let's start with Entei

[Knight of Time]

I'll go with Eternatus.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Brave guesses, and one of them is even showing some direction!

Entei: E??e*
Eternatus: E*

[Shadow Wolf]

One of two: let's try Eldegoss.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

And Eldegoss it is.

Here you are!

[Shadow Wolf]

Thank you Mikachu. That's another new figurine.

Now, the letter before the letter used in the previous puzzle starts the next one.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I hope the divine Dialga will guide us the way.

EDIT: Can you believe it, I just commented Shadow Wolf's post in Hangman where I'm not a worker! Why am I making mistakes in this game so often?

[Knight of Time]

That's definitely not it...I'll try Dragonair first.

[Shadow Wolf]

Well, the good thing is that, even though only workers can give out legendaries, they can still provide clues to a normal puzzle in BrainStrain:


Dialga: D*
Dragonair: D????n*

[Knight of Time]

That narrows things down nicely, so how about Dewgong?

...darn, forgot the fourth letter isn't a G.

[Shadow Wolf]

While you do have a valid point, it is also good to know that no guess is truly wasted here:

Dewgong: De???n*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

After the usual goofing around by Mikachu Yukitatsu, is this Dedenne?

[Shadow Wolf]

You are correct Mikachu. You may have fooled around or so, but you have scored the winning guess, so congrats on the Dedenne figurine.

*Hands over figurine*

Your turn!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thanks.

This one starts with letter P.

[Shadow Wolf]

OK, let's start with Pincurchin

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Pincurchin: P*

[Shadow Wolf]

OK. How about Palkia?

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Phione.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Palkia: P*
Phione: P*

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Perrserker next.

[Shadow Wolf]

And I'll follow with Poipole.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Perrserker: Pe*
Poipole: P*

[Shadow Wolf]

Looks like spring is indeed here. Is this Petilil?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Well, I still see some snow when I look outside, but this is Finland after all. Anyways, you're right, Shadow, this is Petilil indeed.

Congratulations, and your turn!

[Shadow Wolf]

Hope the weather improves soon where you live. :)

Thank you for the figurine and the letter P guides the next puzzle.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll copy Ash Ketchum and start with Pikachu.

[Shadow Wolf]

Nice start!

Pikachu: P??a*

[Knight of Time]

That narrowed things down nicely. How about Parasect?

Edit: And since it's my birthday, I'd like a Sirfetch'd figurine, please.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Certainly, KoT! Here you are, and once again, have a Happy Birthday!

As for this puzzle, let me devolve your guess to Paras.

[Shadow Wolf]

Two guesses, but only one winner.

And the winner is...


Knight of Time with his correct guess of Parasect. Nicely done.

*Gives Parasect figurine*

Your turn!

[Knight of Time]

Thanks, both of you.

Okay, get yourselves ready, the bold letter starts your guesses here.

[Shadow Wolf]

OK, let's get the game turbo-going with Reshiram.

[Knight of Time]

Reshiram: Re*

[Shadow Wolf]

OK. Let's try Regieleki

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Countering with Regirock.

[Knight of Time]

You're both on the right track.

Regieleki: Regi*
Regirock: Regi*

[Shadow Wolf]

I believe this is a Regice.

[Knight of Time]

Your belief is unfortunately incorrect.

Regice: Regi*

[Shadow Wolf]

D'oh, I overlooked that one...

Is this Regigigas?

[Knight of Time]

C'mon now, no need to go Homer Simpson on me, Mr. Winner-Of-A-Regigigas-Figurine.

You know I was referring to you, Louis. Go ahead and take your new figurine, and go for it.

[Shadow Wolf]

Thank you Kyle. I kinda feel silly when I overlook a Pokemon since I try to remember as many Pokemon as I can. Nevertheless it is great to have another legendary figurine.

OK, take two sticks and place them parallel to each other, like this: I I

Now put a shorter stick right in the middle. Yup, that's the letter which starts this puzzle.

[Knight of Time]

Let's try Houndoom first.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

And I'll try Hariyama.

[Shadow Wolf]

Fight like hell and you'll eventually prevail.

Houndoom: H*
Hariyama: H*

[Knight of Time]

I hope my next guess of Hitmontop doesn't make you dizzy.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How about the dark dragonbreath of Hydreigon?

[Shadow Wolf]

One of you discovered an important clue:

Hitmontop: Hitmon*
Hydreigon: H*

[Knight of Time]

Let's see if Hitmonlee fits.

[Shadow Wolf]

Not quite there yet:


Hitmonlee: Hitmon*

[Knight of Time]

It has to be Hitmonchan.

[Shadow Wolf]

And that is the winning guess. Well done Kyle. The Hitmonchan figurine is yours.

*Gives figurine*

Your turn! :)

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Louis.

Okay, the letter I present you guys with may be a doozy, because it's the first letter of the word that described it.

If you can't figure it out, don't worry, the teacher in me won't give you an F, I'll give you a D instead.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Starting with Dragonite.

[Knight of Time]

Dragonite: D*

[Shadow Wolf]

Let's try Deoxys.

[Knight of Time]

Deoxys: D*

[Shadow Wolf]

Ok, let's try Dugtrio.

[Knight of Time]

You'll need to dig deeper to get this one.

Dugtrio: D*

[Shadow Wolf]

It's OK. Let's sing a song of fire and ice with Darumaka.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll try the double-edged Doublade.

[Knight of Time]

I hate to say it Louis, but Mikachu has edged you here...quite literally. The Doublade figurine goes to him.

'hands over the figurine to its winner'

Go for it Mikachu.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thank you very much.

Another one to start with the fourth letter of the alphabet, i.e. D.

[Knight of Time]

Let's see how far Doublade goes this time.

[Shadow Wolf]

And I'll repeat my Darumaka guess.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Doublade: D*
Darumaka: D*

[Shadow Wolf]

OK. Let's try Dedenne.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Dedenne: D*

[Shadow Wolf]

I just noticed that the first guess was misspelled. Was it at the moment of writing the post that the autocorrect changed it?

Anyway, let's try Diggersby

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Oops! That was my mistake, not KoT's. I fixed my post, although it doesn't affect the result.

Diggersby: D*

[Knight of Time]

How about Dubwool?

[Shadow Wolf]

And I'll try Drapion.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Dubwool: D*
Drapion: Dr*

[Knight of Time]

I believe it's Drifblim.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

That's not a matter of belief anymore, for I can reveal it is!

Your turn, KoT!!

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Mikachu.

Okaaaaaay, the consecutively repeated letter is your starting letter for this one.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll start with Abomasnow.

[Shadow Wolf]

And I'll try Avalugg

[Knight of Time]

Great start! You both found a good clue.

Abomasnow: A?o*
Avalugg: A????g*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Is this Amoonguss?

[Knight of Time]

Guess what Mikachu? You're right!

'hands you the Amoonguss figurine'

Go for it.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thanks KoT.

V is the initial of this one!

[Shadow Wolf]

OK. Let's start with Victini.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Victini: V???i*

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Vulpix.

[Shadow Wolf]

Hmm, let's try Vespiquen

EDIT: What timing Kyle!!!!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Shadow Wolf got this one. There's more to this, for this is a Dynamaxed Vespiquen!

Your turn.

[Shadow Wolf]

Thank you Mikachu. That's really cool!

So, what's in the center of Mikachu? Yeah, that letter right in the middle starts the next puzzle.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Again, I'll start from the beginning of the alphabetical list of Pokemon, with Abomasnow.

[Shadow Wolf]

This is actually a great start!

Abomasnow: A?oma*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

So is this Aromatisse?

[Shadow Wolf]

That is the right guess Mikachu. The Aromatisse figurine is your prize for winning this round.

*Hands over figurine*

Nicely done! Your turn!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thanks Shadow.

A starts this one as well!

[Shadow Wolf]

Excellent. Let's start with the very Aromatisse.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Aromatisse: A???a*

[Shadow Wolf]

Hmm... Is this Alakazam?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Yes, it is Alakazam! Here you are!

Your turn.

[Shadow Wolf]

Thank you very much Mikachu.

And it is the first letter of your username that begins this next BrainStrain.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Starting with Machop.

[Shadow Wolf]

This is a good start!

Machop: Ma*

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Manectric.

[Shadow Wolf]

Slow and steady, but the progress is good

Manectric: Man*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Is this Mandibuzz?

[Shadow Wolf]

Not quite:

Mandibuzz: Man*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How about Mantyke?

[Shadow Wolf]

And that is the correct answer. Nicely done!

*Gives Mantyke figurine*

Your turn!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thanks.

If I had a flu, I would perhaps say:

D sDarDs Dis oDe!

[Shadow Wolf]

XD

Let's start with Decidueye

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Dragonair.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Decidueye: D*
Dragonair: D*

[Shadow Wolf]

OK. How about Darkrai?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Darkrai: D*

[Shadow Wolf]

OK, and now let's try Duosion.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Duosion: D*

[Shadow Wolf]

Alright. Let's go with Dottler.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Dottler: D*

[Shadow Wolf]

Let's anchor my last guess with Dhelmise

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Aaaand... Dhelmise it is!

Your turn.
