<Game> Pokemon BrainStrain v.2 (approved by Lady Vulpix)

[Knight of Time]

Let's try Luxray this time.

[mr_pikachu]

Do or do not. There is no try.

Luxray: L*

Guesses Remaining: 12

[Knight of Time]

Loudred?

[mr_pikachu]

Nope, still a miss.

Loudred: L*

Guesses Remaining: 11

[Knight of Time]

Hmm, seems I'm going to need some help from others here...but let's see if Ledian will net me some additional letters to work with.

[mr_pikachu]

Okay, I must be seriously misunderstanding the rules, because I could swear that they say each player can make up to five guesses per puzzle, not three. What am I missing here?

Ledian: L*

Guesses Remaining: 10

[Lady Vulpix]

Larvesta

[mr_pikachu]

Keep that winning streak going!

Larvesta: L*

Guesses Remaining: 9

[Knight of Time]

Let's try Lillipup for my fourth guess here.

Brian, if you're wondering why people get a maximum of five guesses per puzzle, I put that rule in mainly because the second letter in many Pokemon's names is a vowel (A, E, I, O, U), I mean, the sooner they find the second letter, the more likely their chances of winning the figurine. I wasn't kidding when I said logic plays a major part here.

[Lady Vulpix]

I'll try Lickilicky.

[mr_pikachu]

Right, I get why it's five guesses in the rules... sorry, it just sounded to me like you were saying you only get three guesses (like in Hangman) despite what the rules say, and since someone referred to that once in the last version as well, I was getting quite baffled.

Anyway, we've finally got some information:

Lillipup: Li??i*
Lickilicky: Li??i*

Guesses Remaining: 7

[Knight of Time]

I think this is a Litwick?

[mr_pikachu]

Bingo! Kyle's got it. Don't let it carry you back to the ghost world!

[Knight of Time]

Whew, thanks Brian, that one was tricky.

Alright, an M begins the next one.

[DarkestLight]

Magnezone

[Knight of Time]

Magnezone: M*

Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 12

[Lady Vulpix]

Medicham?

[Knight of Time]

Medicham: M*

Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 11

[Lady Vulpix]

How about Milotic?

[Knight of Time]

Milotic: M*

Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 10

[Lady Vulpix]

That narrows it down, but not quite enough. 3rd guess: Musharna?

[Knight of Time]

Nope, but you are getting closer.

Musharna: Mu*

[Lady Vulpix]

Guess #4: Murkrow?

[Oslo]

Muk?

[Knight of Time]

Gabi wins this one, it was Murkrow. Congrats.

'hands over the figurine'

Go for it.

[Lady Vulpix]

Yay! The next one begins with a P.

[mr_pikachu]

Piloswine will start this round.

[Lady Vulpix]

Piloswine: P*

[mr_pikachu]

I'll continue with a Persian.

[Lady Vulpix]

Persian: P*

[Knight of Time]

I'm going to try Probopass.

[Lady Vulpix]

That was a lucky guess, Kyle! You win!

[Knight of Time]

Woohoo, thanks Gabi! I felt like I was blindly aiming for a bulls-eye there.

Okay, a C begins the next one.

[mr_pikachu]

Wow, nicely done, Kyle! How about a Charmander here?

[Knight of Time]

Charmander: C*

Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 12

[mr_pikachu]

In that case, what about Cottonee?

[Knight of Time]

Progress has been made.

Cottonee: C?????e*

[mr_pikachu]

I think this is a Cloyster.

[Knight of Time]

Yes it is a Cloyster Brian.

'hands the figurine to you'

Go for it.

[mr_pikachu]

All right! Thanks, Kyle. The next one begins with an R.

Guesses Remaining: 13

Good luck!
