[Shadow Wolf]

OK, lets begin with Torterra.

[Knight of Time]

Torterra: T*

Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 12

[Shadow Wolf]

Hmm... how about Trapinch?

[Knight of Time]

Trapinch: T*

Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 11

[Shadow Wolf]

Hmmm... the I'll go with Typhlosion.

[Knight of Time]

And...Typhlosion it is!

'hands you the figurine'

Go for it, Shadow Wolf.

[Shadow Wolf]

Sweet! The most used starter of GSC in my playthroughs is now another figurine for my collection.

No I'll make you go P (no pun intended)

[Knight of Time]

Ha ha, very funny.

Is this one Pikachu?

[mr_pikachu]

I'll look for Pachirisu here.

[Shadow Wolf]

Not wanting to give a pun might backfire sometimes *is embarrassed*.

KoT: Pi*

Brian: P???i*

[mr_pikachu]

Pignite seems like a legitimate possibility.

[Shadow Wolf]

Pignite it is buddy. Nicely done!

*hands over the figurine*

Three, two, one, GO!

[mr_pikachu]

All right! Thanks, Louis. I like this game!

The next one starts with an F.

[Shadow Wolf]

Jeje, glad to know.

OK, let's begin with Feraligatr

[DarkestLight]

Furret

[mr_pikachu]

Some useful information here....

Feraligatr: F?r*
Furret: F?r?et*

Guesses Remaining: 11

[Oslo]

Forretress!

[DarkestLight]

Dam you :/ Ima say Ferrothorn cause MAYBE he typo'd :O LOL

[Shadow Wolf]

or maybe a Farfetch'd.

[mr_pikachu]

Sorry, Oslo, but I'm afraid Forretress has an "r" as its fourth letter, just like Furret. The Farfetch'd instead goes to Louis! Well done.

[Oslo]

Lolol, so it does! 'Twasn't meant to be.

Good work, Lou.

[Shadow Wolf]

Thanks Brian! And Oslo, if I hadn't double check the pokemon list, this one would've slipped of my hands (You're as fast as Kyle on hangman for this game).

OK, this time we have a D-tour

[mr_pikachu]

Does my destiny include Darmanitan?

[Oslo]

How about Dewgong?

[Knight of Time]

Let's add to the variety with Dodrio.

[Shadow Wolf]

Jejeje, let's see the Do's and Don't's

mr_pikachu: D*

Oslo: D*

Knight Of Time: D*

Don't give up!

[Knight of Time]

Dragonite, perhaps?

[Oslo]

Dwebble?

[Shadow Wolf]

One of you draws closer.

Knight Of Time: D?a*

Oslo: D*

[Knight of Time]

Dialga?

[Shadow Wolf]

Oh ho, so you dare challenge a legendary huh?

Well...... you have scored me friend. One legendary Dialga figurine for you.

*hands over the figurine*

Your turn!

[Knight of Time]

Alright, my first legendary figurine here, thanks!

Okay, the next one begins with an E.

[mr_pikachu]

Egad! Nicely done, Kyle!

I'll seek Electivire.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Brian!

Electivire: E*

Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 12

[mr_pikachu]

Empoleon may help a bit.

[Knight of Time]

I'm afraid it won't help you as much as you'd have hoped.

Empoleon: E*

[mr_pikachu]

Well, it at least rules out a few possibilities. That's enough for now.

Just to be safe, let's see if this could be Entei.

[Knight of Time]

It is...I wasn't expecting to give out a legendary figurine just after winning one of another legendary Pokemon, but hey, it happens!

'hands you the Entei figurine'

That reminds me, if one of the workers in Hangman was doing a legendary, and another worker correctly guessed the Pokemon, would they be allowed to do a puzzle of another legendary if the randomizer picked a second consecutive legendary Pokemon? As crazy as it sounds, I'm really curious.

But other than that, go ahead and post the next puzzle here.

[mr_pikachu]

Wow, thank you, Kyle! That's my first legendary in this game, too!

As for your Hangman question, there's certainly no rule against it, and the odds of such an occurrence are so low that it wouldn't happen very often anyway. Consider a situation in which two workers win puzzles back-to-back. Given that there are 48 legendaries out of 649 Pokemon, the odds of the first worker-awarded plushie being a legendary are around 7.4% -- and that's assuming that when a worker gives a plushie, all 649 Pokemon are given an equal chance to appear. (We've had discussions about making legendaries even rarer than that.)

Under those odds, the chance of the second worker-awarded plushie also being a legendary are the same: 7.4%. Put those figures together, and two workers consecutively winning plushies would only produce back-to-back legendaries about 0.5% of the time, or one in every 200 instances.

So, no, we don't have a rule against it. With those odds, I don't think a special rule is all that necessary.

Anyway, the next Pokemon begins with an S. Good luck!

Guesses Remaining: 13

[Knight of Time]

Oh, well anyway, how about Sharpedo for this one?
