Version 9

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 9 incorrect guesses allowed on a 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 either me or Knight of Time 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, a big thanks goes to Lady Vulpix for making this calculator.

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

We encourage players here to take responsibility in using the Gallery, 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.

History repeats itself, since just like in the last version, it's Gabi's turn to take the baton. Good luck everyone!

[Lady Vulpix]

Hehe. Thank you!

The next one begins with an S. There sure are a lot of those.

[Knight of Time]

Salamence?

[Lady Vulpix]

Yes! O_O

[Knight of Time]

Alright! My guess of Salamence on nearly every S puzzle has finally paid off!

Thanks so much Gabi...anyway, the next one begins with a C.

[Lady Vulpix]

OK, I'll start with Charmander.

[Shadow Wolf]

Combusken for my first guess.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I, too, noticed Kyle made guesses about that amazing Dragon Pokemon in question almost every time. Awesome how you finally received it.

Cubchoo is my first guess on this.

[Knight of Time]

Charmander: C?a*
Combusken: C*
Cubchoo: C?????o*

Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 7

[Shadow Wolf]

Alright, let's go with Clamperl

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I think it could rather be Cranidos.

[Knight of Time]

Mikachu is right, this one is Cranidos.

'hands the figurine to him'

Go for it.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thank you.

OK, I think the next puzzle can start in a nice way, for it begins with an...

A.

Must be Armaldo, then.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

That's right. Here you go!

[Lady Vulpix]

Thank you! E now.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Alright, how much could I narrow the chances with Eevee?

[Knight of Time]

Hmm...I'm going to try Electrode.

[Lady Vulpix]

Eevee: E*
Electrode: E*

[Knight of Time]

Emboar?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

[Lady Vulpix]

Emboar: E*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I think my last guess shared a certain letter with KoT's first one. My bad.

But Ekans?

[Knight of Time]

Exploud, maybe?

[Lady Vulpix]

Mikachu gets it! Congratulations! You've won an Ekans figurine.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]
