Version 1

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 a max of 5 guesses each per puzzle, and there is a max of 12 incorrect guesses allowed on a puzzle, if a 13th incorrect guess occurs on a particular puzzle, the Pokemon that was being done is revealed, but nobody wins the figurine, and either me or Shadow Wolf 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).

A note on legendaries- even though they can come up here, only workers can give out legendary Pokemon figurines.

I'll keep track of what figurines have been awarded here.

Figurine Winners:

Blademaster- Alomomola
DarkestLight- Taillow, Ekans
Knight of Time- Stantler, Muk, Alomomola, Wailord, Gorebyss, Probopass, Crustle, Pichu, Arbok, Dialga, Kingler
Lady Vulpix- Crustle, Gulpin
mr_pikachu- Whimsicott, Boldore, Pignite, Entei, Patrat
Oslo- Chingling, Slowking, Wigglytuff, Machoke, Delcatty, Lugia, Politoed, Ledian, Togetic, Pawniard, Lairon, Clefairy
Shadow Wolf- Regirock, Lopunny, Herdier, Typhlosion, Farfetch'd, Simisage

Speaking of figurines, the first one starts with a C. Good luck!

[DarkestLight]

Ok. So yer gonna tell me the name of a Pokemon with the level C? Or can I just guess?

I'm gonna guess Cofagrigus though-get a long name outta there

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

My guess is Celebi?

Is it really this easy, inform if I'm violating the rules or something?

[Knight of Time]

Ooh, one of you got a good start to this one.

Cofagrigus: C???g?i*
Celebi: C*

I can't tell the full name of the Pokemon unless someone guesses it right DarkestLight, and Mikachu, don't worry, you're not violating the rules...legendary figurines can appear here, but at present, only I can give them out. If I get at least one worker, then the workers will be the only ones who can give out the legendary figurines.

Again, logic and following the pattern of the known/discovered letters, question marks and any asterisk present are the keys to getting a figurine guys.

[Oslo]

Chingling?

[Knight of Time]

And we have our first winner!

Oslo, you've won a Chingling figurine!

Go for it.

[Oslo]

Huzzah. Okay, so if I do this incorrectly, I hope you all can someday forgive me.

The first letter of the next Pokemon's name is S.

[Knight of Time]

Let's try Sceptile.

[Oslo]

Warm!

Sceptile: S???t*

[Knight of Time]

Okay, might as well try Shiftry.

[Oslo]

No progress to be made here, I'm afraid.

Shiftry: S???t*

[Knight of Time]

Skuntank, maybe?

[Oslo]

It isn't Skuntank, but this ought to put you a little bit closer to figuring it out.

Skuntank: S??nt*

[Knight of Time]

Oh, this one could be Stantler.

[Oslo]

Oh, it certainly could be. In fact, it is.

*awards Stantler figurine*

[Knight of Time]

Great, thanks.

Okay, the next one is going to start with an S as well.

[Oslo]

Perhaps Stoutland?

[Knight of Time]

Stoutland: S?o*

[Oslo]

Slowking?

[Knight of Time]

This one went by quickly, Oslo, you win a Slowking figurine!

[Oslo]

Whoo.

M is the first letter of the next one.

[Knight of Time]

Let's try Magmortar.

[Oslo]

Magmortar is not gonna help you here.

Magmortar: M*

[Knight of Time]

Okay, how about Metagross?

[Oslo]

Metagross also will not be doing you any favours today.

Metagross: M*

[Knight of Time]

Hmm, seems like I'll have to try a little harder on this one...Miltank?

[Oslo]

Alas, Miltank also seems to be a dead end.

Miltank: M*

[Knight of Time]

This one's tough alright...how about Monferno?

[Oslo]

Your tour through the vowels is still yet to lend you any assistance.

Monferno: M*

[Knight of Time]

Crossing my fingers on Musharna.

[Oslo]

Not Musharna, but you're that much closer.

Musharna: Mu*

[Knight of Time]

Mudkip, maybe?

[Oslo]

Also not Mudkip.

Mudkip: Mu*

[Knight of Time]

Man, I'm running out of options here, is it Munna?

[Oslo]

Nope. I guess I picked a good one!

Munna: Mu*

[Knight of Time]

Why do I have the feeling this one is Muk?

[Oslo]

'Cause it is. *awards figurine* You've definitely earned this one.

Ironically, while Muk would be one of the easiest Pokemon to guess in hangman, its short name makes it quite difficult to guess in this game.

[Knight of Time]

Yeah...speaking of Hangman...I'm crossing my fingers this game and Hangman can "get along", if you guys know what I mean.

Nonetheless, the next one starts with a W.

[Oslo]

I get what you mean. I'm sure they'll be able to just fine, but I suppose we'll see with time.

Could this be Wartortle?

[Knight of Time]

Wartortle: W?????t*

Ooh, you were pretty close there Oslo.
