Pokemon BrainStrain

Version 3

Admin Approved by Lady Vulpix

Workers: Knight of Time, Shadow Wolf

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 one of the workers 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, big thanks to Lady Vulpix for making this calculator.

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

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

Sorry I kept you waiting, Shadow Wolf, but you can finally begin the next puzzle.

[Shadow Wolf]

I think you just took my line.

This one begins with a W.

Give your best everyone.

[Oslo]

Wailord?

[Lady Vulpix]

Wormadam?

[Shadow Wolf]

OK, well done for the first round:

Oslo: W?i*

Gabi: W*

[Knight of Time]

Whismur?

[Oslo]

Whiscash?

[Shadow Wolf]

Oslo nails it. Well done!

Your move!

[Oslo]

Yay!

Okay, time for a letter that hasn't been done.

Liiike... Z!

[Shadow Wolf]

Zoroark for me please.

[DarkestLight]

Zubat

[Lady Vulpix]

Ouch! Whiscash would have been my first guess (I'd even typed it) but I changed it because it had an I on the 3rd place and so did Wailord. Next time I'll go with my instincts.

Zebstrika?

[Oslo]

Zoroark: Z???a*
Zubat: Z*
Zebstrika: Z*

That should have it pretty much narrowed!

[Shadow Wolf]

Anyways, this must be a Zigzagoon.

[Oslo]

Yes indeedy! *awards figurine*

[Shadow Wolf]

Thanks Oslo!

D for the next one.

[Oslo]

Druddigon?

[Knight of Time]

Deoxys?

[Shadow Wolf]

First round... not so good.

Oslo: D*

Kyle: D*

[Oslo]

Doduo?

[Shadow Wolf]

Is two better than one? Maybe... maybe not.

Oslo: D*

[Knight of Time]

Darmanitan?

[Shadow Wolf]

Miracles happen in the way we less expect...

Kyle: D??????t

[Knight of Time]

It's got to be Ducklett.

[Shadow Wolf]

That's right Kyle! The ducklett is yours (BTW, did you notice the striking resemblance and reference to a famous story [even with it's evolution]?)

*gives figurine*

Your move!

[Knight of Time]

Yeah...you mean The Ugly Duckling, right?

Anyway, the next one begins with...oh, I think I provided enough information here.

[Oslo]

Well done, Kyle!

Hrm... Wartortle?

[Knight of Time]

Not Wartortle...but good start anyway.

Wartortle: Wa*

Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 12

[Oslo]

Hrm... Walrein?

[Lady Vulpix]

Wailmer?

[Shadow Wolf]

uhh, I'll take the only one left: Watchog

[Knight of Time]

Well, the "only one left" is the winner, as this one's a Watchog, congrats Louis!

'hands you the figurine'

Go for it.

[Shadow Wolf]

woo-hoo! Thanks Kyle!

D for the enxt one (again).

[Lady Vulpix]

Enxt? Er... Dugtrio? Just because I just got one on Hangman.

[Oslo]

I'mma guess Druddigon again.

[Shadow Wolf]

This round is.... an average one.

Gabi: D*

Oslo: Dr*

[Oslo]

Dragonair?

[Shadow Wolf]

I think that ain't the correct, but it gives an accurate step.

Oslo: Dragon*

[Oslo]

I think I'm going to evolve my last guess into a Dragonite.

[Shadow Wolf]

Haha, nice way to progress Oslo. Tha Dragonite figurine is yours.

Your move!
