    I PMed Kyuubi a couple of days ago about this. Kyuubi hasn't been online since then (although there was some activity earlier that day). I'm hoping that the next time Kyuubi's online, we'll have an answer. But you're right; this can't go on for much longer. If a few more days go by, we'll have to call off the riddle, and one of the workers will post the next one.

    Okay, this has gone on long enough. I'm calling off this riddle. Let's move directly to the next one.

    Well, let's not waste any more time... I got a guess.

    Is it Slowbro?

    Slow or fast? I can’t decide,

    SLOWbro may give off a slow impression, but it's a Psychic type; Psychics usually strike first in battle in the games.

    But training will fill me with pride.

    Don't have a clue.

    Physical strength, defensive skill,

    Unlike most Psychics, Slowbro has decent offensive and defensive skills.

    Make fighting weaklings easier still.

    Psychic > Fighting.

    I’d be a champ, I’d be a king,
    But I’m stuck on a single thing.

    Slowbro becomes Slowking, but it needs a King's Rock first.

    I need an aid to see it through,
    But with help, I will shatter you!

    If a Trainer trades Slowbro while it's holding a King's Rock, it becomes a Slowking, which is actually a pretty strong Pokemon.

    A pretty interesting guess, but I'm afraid that's not it. Good try, though!

    OK, then... Is it Machoke?

    Slow or fast? I can’t decide,

    Machoke starts off with a pitiful 40 Speed, but it can grow to over 200 points when fed Carbos (or whatever).

    But training will fill me with pride.

    Machoke likes admiring itself in the mirror - that's pride, if I know anything about pride.

    Physical strength, defensive skill,

    Fighting Pokemon are known for heir superior Attack and Defense.

    Make fighting weaklings easier still.

    This is what confused me - I thought you meant fighting weaklings, as in 'weak, Fighting Pokemon,' so I leaned towards a Psychic or Flying type. But now I see you meant fighting (the verb, not the adjective) weaklings, which is a pretty large group compared to Machoke's family.

    I’d be a champ, I’d be a king,

    Machoke evolves into MaCHAMP, the KING of Fighting Pokemon according to most.

    But I’m stuck on a single thing.
    I need an aid to see it through,

    Machoke has to be traded before it can evolve, so it does indeed need an aid.

    But with help, I will shatter you!

    Machoke learns Brick Break and Rock Smash via TM/HM ('with help'), two incredibly powerful, groundbreaking (literally) moves.

    You may know plenty about pride, but apparently you don't know the answer to this riddle - at least not yet. Those were some nice ideas, however.

    Tyrogue

    I'm not sure about this one

    But training will fill me with pride.
    It has to be trained in certain skills (ex: attack) in order to evolve

    Physical strength, defensive skill,
    Its strength and defense determine what it will evolve into

    Make fighting weaklings easier still.

    It needs to take carbs, proten, etc in order to evolve into its different forms. Having to take those items are a form of aid. It also needs to use tm/hm to learn moves that can break things such as rock smash and brick break

    OK, is this maybe one of the Egg Pokemon - Exeggcute or Togepi?

    Slow or fast? I can’t decide,

    Togepi, like Machoke, starts out slow, but it can get a lot faster when fed Carbos; Exeggcute is 6 eggs, so they may debate with each other how fast they move.

    But training will fill me with pride.

    Exeggcute is 6 eggs, as I said, so when it's proud of its progress, it's proud x6! Togepi evolves when it gains Happiness, which may be synonymous with pride...?

    Physical strength, defensive skill,
    Make fighting weaklings easier still.

    Togepi has decent stats and HP; Exeggcute is Psychic, and Psychic > Fighting.

    I’d be a champ, I’d be a king,
    But I’m stuck on a single thing.
    I need an aid to see it through,

    Togepi and Exeggcute evolve into strong Pokemon, both of which look like they wear crowns (Togetic's spikes and Exeggutor's leaves). But they can't evolve alone - they need a Trainer to either love them or give them a Leaf Stone (respectively).

    But with help, I will shatter you!

    Togetic, I believe, learns Rock Smash and Brick Break; Exeggutor learns powerhouse moves like Barrage, Solarbeam, and, in some instances, Bomb Voyage.

    Mmm, while those may be good ideas, they're definitely not connected to the meaning of the riddle. Good thinking, but I'm afraid you're off the mark. Hopefully a hint will help.

    Not sure about this

    If they double battle they can use helping hand to make the fight easier

    I’d be a champ, I’d be a king,

    They can only only become champs when they work together so fighting by themselves (single) is a bad idea

    Helping Hand aids them in battle by increasing their stats. This help, allows them shatter (defeat) their enemies

    That's a clever thought, and a good start. But you need to think a bit more "outside the box."

    Hmm, let's give a try at this game.

    This one could be a Poliwhirl/Machamp


    Slow or fast? I can’t decide,
    but training will fill me with pride.


    Poliwhirl has a decent speed but it can use “slow” moves like Counter; Machamp can throw 1,000 punches in less than two seconds (FR pokedex) but its speed (stat) is low and it loves to train and fight.

    Physical strength, defensive skill,
    Make fighting weaklings easier still.


    Poliwhirl can learn fighting and also Psychic attacks which are super effective against fighting type pokemon; Machamp is a very strong pokemon and if it grabs an opponent with it’s four arms(even if is a fighting pokemon) the battle is all but over(Sapphire pokedex)…

    I’d be a champ, I’d be a king,
    but I’m stuck on a single thing.


    Poliwhirl can evolve into Poliwrath (In an Anime episode, Poliwrath had a champion belt) or into Politoed (In the RSE pokedex, Politoed’s curled hair represents a symbol of it being a king) but to evolve, Poliwhirl need a water stone or a king’s rock so it cannot evolve by training and it will be "stuck" as a Poliwhirl; Machamp is a king (or a champ) because it has learned every martial art(Sapphire pokedex).


    I need an aid to see it through,
    but with help, I will shatter you!


    Not a clue with Poliwhirl; Machamp can learn foresight, and with this move, normal and fighting attacks can hit ghost pokemon.

    I was originally leaning towards Volbeat/Illumise, but this may make more sense...

    Is it Aerodactyl?

    Slow or fast? I can’t decide,

    Aerodactyl is a Rock/Flying hybrid. Rocks are pretty much the slowest Pokemon, and Flying types are generally some of the fastest.

    But training will fill me with pride.

    I think this line is just filler - who wouldn't be proud of winning and getting stronger?

    Physical strength, defensive skill,

    Aerodactyl is a Rock-type, so it has a lot of resistances and some pretty impressive attacks.

    Make fighting weaklings easier still.

    Flying > Psychic, once again.

    I’d be a champ, I’d be a king,
    But I’m stuck on a single thing.
    I need an aid to see it through,

    Aerodactyl is a powerhouse, but even it needs a Trainer. The 'single thing' is Old Amber. No Trainer = no Amber; no Amber = no Aerodactyl.

    Wynut/Wobbuffett

    Slow or fast? I can’t decide,
    But training will fill me with pride.

    It doesn't matter how slow or how fast it is because it will always attack last. You gain a lot of pride knowing that you can beat your opponent despite having to take hits first.

    Physical strength, defensive skill,
    Make fighting weaklings easier still.

    They are defensive pokemon since they don't have any offensive attacks and they win by turning their opponents physical strength against them. This makes fighting weaker pokemon easier than stronger pokemon since the stronger pokemon might get a ohko.

    I’d be a champ, I’d be a king,
    But I’m stuck on a single thing.

    They are stuck being defensive pokemon so they can't become champs since they are just as likely to lose as they are to win.

    I need an aid to see it through,
    But with help, I will shatter you!

    The trainer provides the aid by trying to predict what the next attack will be so that they can properly defend against it. With that help they can win a battle.

    Scyther/Scizor

    Slow or fast? I can’t decide,
    But training will fill me with pride.

    Scyther is fast but if it decides to evolve it has to sacrifice speed. It has been shown to be a prideful pokemon in the anime, especially when it comes to battles

    Physical strength, defensive skill,
    Make fighting weaklings easier still.

    Scyther has good strength and if it evolves into Scizor it has good defense. Both skills make fighting weaker pokemon easier

    I’d be a champ, I’d be a king,
    But I’m stuck on a single thing.

    They are powerful pokemon but Scyther is stuck as a Scyther unless it gets traded while possessing a metal coat

    I need an aid to see it through,
    But with help, I will shatter you!

    It needs to be traded while possessing a metal coat to evolve. Once it becomes Scizor it can use its steal type attacks to shatter rock type pokemon

    Hmm, good thoughts. Remember, though, that the part about "aid" refers to something you can do during a battle!


    Slow or fast? I can’t decide,
    But training will fill me with pride.
    Physical strength, defensive skill,
    Make fighting weaklings easier still.
    I’d be a champ, I’d be a king,
    But I’m stuck on a single thing.
    I need an aid to see it through,
    But with help, I will shatter you!

    I think I've got it.

    Is it Vigoroth?

    Slow or fast? I can’t decide,

    Vigoroth has to constantly be on a rampage and moving around. It's extremely fast - after evolving from the slow-as-Hell Slakoth and before evolving into the equally-slow-as-Hell Slaking. Vigoroth is the only Pokemon to take such a bizarre turn after evolving only to wind up pretty much back where it started after evolving again.

    But training will fill me with pride.

    Vigoroth's Japanese name is Yarukimono, which means 'willing sloth.' Proud, willing... they're sorta similar.

    Physical strength, defensive skill,
    Make fighting weaklings easier still.

    Vigoroth is a Normal Pokemon, which means pretty balanced stats; balanced stats + training/vitamins = KO-ed weaklings.

    I’d be a champ, I’d be a king,

    Vigoroth evolves into SlaKING, the big boss - the champ, if you will - of Normal Pokemon.

    But I’m stuck on a single thing.

    Vigoroth hasn't evolved yet.

    I need an aid to see it through,
    But with help, I will shatter you!

    Vigoroth is the only Pokemon that naturally learns Focus Punch. It has to wait until Level 43, and even after learning it, it takes one turn without being disturbed to set up. But once it's set up...

    WHAM!!

    An excellent try, but I'm afraid it's just a little off the mark. The next hint should be quite helpful.

    Sorry if this is bumping (since more than two weeks have passed), but I cannot come up with an answer to the riddle.

    mr_pikachu, could you give the answer?

    EDIT: added the question mark (kinda forgot about it)

    Ah, sorry about that. I've been working on something for this game, actually, and I was hoping to have it done before anyone noticed that two weeks had passed. I... didn't quite finish. Hehe.


    The correct answer is Slakoth.


    Slow or fast? I can’t decide,
    Slakoth becomes very fast when it evolves into Vigoroth, but Truant again takes its toll when it is a Slaking.

    But training will fill me with pride.
    Slaking is one of the strongest Pokemon in the game, and it can be legitimately used in most tournaments.

    Physical strength, defensive skill,
    Make fighting weaklings easier still.
    Its Attack and Defense stats are good, and its HP is exceptional for a first-stage Pokemon.

    I’d be a champ, I’d be a king,
    It eventually evolves into Slaking.

    But I’m stuck on a single thing.
    Truant is this Pokemon’s only major detriment, at both its Slakoth and Slaking stages.

    I’ll need an aid to see it through,
    It can’t learn Skill Swap, but other Pokemon can use it in double battles to remove the weakness of Truant.

    But with help, I will shatter you!
    Slakoth can be very powerful with help – it can even learn Brick Break, a “shattering” move.



    Okay, we're gonna take a quick break from this version; we'll come back to it later. And you know what that means... it's time for the Riddle Game Championship!

    Wheeeee! More riddles!

    I'm going to guess... Regice.

    From ages past, I’m the defender.
    Regice was created during an Ice Age millennia ago; it is a guardian of sorts.

    My strong attacks will make you shiver.
    It's an Ice type.

    I own the greatest move of all,
    Regice can learn Explosion...

    Though to get it I have to stall.
    ...But it has forgotten Explosion by the time it can be captured, so it has to wait until it is captured and can be taken to the Move Maniac before it can use it.

    Don’t crack under the tough stress
    Regice is -400*F - almost anything that touches it would likely freeze and shatter.

    Or you’ll fall to the battling best!
    Best? Not quite, but moves like Zap Cannon, Charge Beam, and Superpower certainly give the Glacier Pokemon bragging rights, especially among Ice types - its stats are even higher than Articuno's.

    Rats... OK, let's try a different approach...

    Is it Aerodactyl?

    From ages past, I’m the defender.
    Aerodactyl lived 5 million years ago.

    My strong attacks will make you shiver.
    I think that shivering implies fear, not cold; I'd be scared if a stone-skinned pterodactyl-dragon-bat-monster was swooping down at me at 150mph, wouldn't you?

    I own the greatest move of all,
    I think Aerodactyl could learn Explosion in RBY; nowadays, it can still learn Hyper Beam...

    Though to get it I have to stall.
    ...But not until it reaches Level 50.

    Don’t crack under the tough stress
    Aerodactyl has the Pressure Ability; stress = pressure.

    Or you’ll fall to the battling best!
    Aerodactyl was once known as 'king of the skies.' It likely was the top dog of prehistoric Pokemon.

    Hmmmmm... My brain must be wearing down after the Championship... Damn it...

    OK, I'll guess Geodude/Graveler/Golem.

    From ages past, I’m the defender.
    Both Pokemon date back ten years, to the RBY generation; also, 'Golem' is the name of a sentinel/guardian made of stone.

    My strong attacks will make you shiver.
    These guys have some impressive Attack power.

    I own the greatest move of all,
    All three can learn Explosion...

    Though to get it I have to stall.
    ...But not until they learn/reject all their other natural moves.

    Don’t crack under the tough stress
    Or you’ll fall to the battling best!
    Geodude and Graveler are pretty tough, but Golem's attack can reach 350, making him the strongest naturally-Exploding Pokemon in the game.

    (sighs)

    I should've guessed this from the start...

    Is it Articuno?

    From ages past, I’m the defender.
    Articuno has existed since the RBY Generation, and probably much longer, since it is a Legendary. As for the defender part, it protects and guides people lost in icy mountains.

    My strong attacks will make you shiver.
    Articuno is an Ice type.

    I own the greatest move of all,
    Articuno learns Sheer Cold, an instant-knockout attack that no Pokemon can resist...

    Though to get it I have to stall.
    ...But not until LV. 85; that's a long time even for a Legendary Pokemon.

    Don’t crack under the tough stress
    Articuno has the Pressure Ability.

    Or you’ll fall to the battling best!
    Like I said, Sheer Cold instantly knocks out the opponent, it can't be resisted, and it only has two drawbacks: it's poor aim (which Articuno counters with its Mind reader attack), and its inability to beat higher-lever Pokemon (Like there are that many LV. 85+ Pokemon in the games, anyway.).

    Maybe that hint was a little too revealing...



    From ages past, I’m the defender.
    Articuno is from Red, Blue, and Yellow. It is said to appear to doomed people who are lost on icy mountains, according to the Red Pokedex.

    My strong attacks will make you shiver.
    As a legendary Pokemon, it’s powerful, and it uses the Ice element well.

    I own the greatest move of all,
    Articuno learns Sheer Cold, the OHKO move with the best accuracy and with no type resistances.

    Though to get it I have to stall.
    Not only does Articuno learn it at a very high level (85), but it can’t learn it at all until Ruby and Sapphire.

    Don’t crack under the tough stress
    “stress” is a synonym for Articuno’s only ability, Pressure.

    Or you’ll fall to the battling best!
    As a legendary, Articuno ranks among the toughest Pokemon there are.



    Good job, Blademaster! The legendary Articuno is yours!

    Dude... I have won two Legendary figurines in the past 3 hours...

    Has that ever happened in the entire history of TPM?

    ...

    Well, while someone looks into that, here's a new riddle I've had saved up for awhile now:


    Behind my gate,
    I lie in wait;
    I stay up late
    So I may sate
    My hunger. Fate
    I would equate
    To those I ate
    Behind my gate!



    Good luck!

    Perhaps not. But I'm not curious enough to take the time to check.

    Is this Gastly/Haunter/Gengar?


    Behind my gate,
    I lie in wait;

    The "gate" would be the portal between this world and the afterlife. These three Pokemon are ghosts, so they are no longer of this world, but not of the next, either. They are at the gate.

    I stay up late
    All three Pokemon can get Night Shade.

    So I may sate
    My hunger. Fate

    They also learn the Hypnosis/Dream Eater combo to "sate their hunger." Also, those who don't switch quickly after Destiny Bond is used are fated to faint.

    I would equate
    To those I ate
    Behind my gate!

    Again, I reiterate the previous reasons for eating (Hypnosis/Dream Eater) and the gate (the barrier between this world and the next).

    Zubat/Golbat/Crobat

    Behind my gate,
    I lie in wait;

    Bats live in old abanndon houses and those types of houses generally have gates

    I stay up late
    So I may sate
    My hunger.

    Bats stay up all night looking for food

    Fate
    I would equate
    To those I ate
    Behind my gate!

    bloods are known to suck blood for food, even though thats not true of all bats. this is a bad thing for anyone that is bitten
    1) There's no excuse for laziness, but I'm working on it!
    2) I will live forever or die trying
    3) It's only funny until somebody gets hurt...............then it's hilarious
