Pokemon BrainStrain

Version 4

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 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, 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.

_______________

I believe the honor of doing the next puzzle goes to Lady Vulpix. Give your best everyone!

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks, but what about my Liepard?

Anyway, the next puzzle also begins with an L.

[Shadow Wolf]

Uhh, sorry! I might have to double check the list.

I'll guess Lunatone.

*goes to double-check list*

[Knight of Time]

How about Lickitung?

[Lady Vulpix]

It should be easy now:

Lunatone: L*
Lickitung: Licki*

[mymyilikepie]

lickilicky

[Lady Vulpix]

Congratulations, mymyilikepie! You came at the right time and won a Lickilicky figurine! It's your turn now.

[mymyilikepie]

I just kind of swooped in
Anyway next pokemon starts with a d

[Lady Vulpix]

I'll start with Dustox.

[Knight of Time]

Congrats on getting your first figurine, mymyilikepie.

I'm going to try Drapion.

[Shadow Wolf]

I'll add Darumaka to the list.

[mymyilikepie]

Thank you guys
Dustox: D*
Drapion: D?????n*
Darukama: D*

[Shadow Wolf]

I think this one's a Deerling.

[mymyilikepie]

Nice! You are correct it was a deerling

[Shadow Wolf]

Cool! Thanks mymylikepie. I think I'll take an Autumn form figurine.

Meanwhile, this one begins with a K.

[Lady Vulpix]

Kingdra?

[Shadow Wolf]

I think this one's about to go...


Gabi: K??g*

[mymyilikepie]

kangaskhan

[Shadow Wolf]

...or maybe not.

mymylikepie: K??g*

[Lady Vulpix]

Is it Kyogre?

[Shadow Wolf]

Oh ho, but indeed! Congratulations Gabi!

*gives figurine*

You know, I didn't thought that, just after receiving a legendary from you, I had to award a legendary to you (in two different games, but you know what I mean)

Anyway, it's your turn.

[Lady Vulpix]

Yes, it's kind of funny.

Do you like D?

[Shadow Wolf]

Ugh... for some reason, a ecchi thought came to mind. *is ashamed*

I'll begin with Darumaka.

[Knight of Time]

I'm going to try Drapion again...just to see how far it goes this time.

[mymyilikepie]

deerling

[Lady Vulpix]

Please excuse my ignorance, but... What does ecchi mean?

Darumaka: D*
Drapion: Dra?i* - It went rather far.
Deerling: D*

[Knight of Time]

I'm willing to bet this is a Dratini.

[Lady Vulpix]

You win that bet. Your prize is a Dratini figurine.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Gabi.

The next one will begin with a D as well.

[Lady Vulpix]

Then I'll start with Drapion to see if it can still go far.

[Knight of Time]

Drapion didn't go quite as far as last time, but it helped out still.

Drapion: Dr*

Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 12

[Lady Vulpix]

Drifblim?

[Knight of Time]

It's not Drifblim, but I think this one should be easy now.

Drifblim: Dri?b*

Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 11

[Lady Vulpix]

That looks like a Drilbur.

[Knight of Time]

You hit the bullseye Gabi, it is a Drilbur.

'hands the figurine to you'

Go for it.

[Lady Vulpix]

A!

[Knight of Time]

XD...Alakazam?

[Lady Vulpix]

Alakazam: Al*

[Shadow Wolf]

I think this is an Alomomola

Gabi: I'm embarrassed, but I'll give the definition anyway (recovered from Anime News Network. Credits for them)

Ecchi is derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the letter "H", the first letter in the word hentai (as spelled in romaji). Ecchi is another way to say "perverted" in Japanese, but its connotation is not as strong as hentai. Anime that contain a lot of sexual humor but no outright pornography are often referred to as ecchi, examples include Love Hina and to a lesser extent Ranma 1/2.

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks and congratulations! You get an Alomomola figurine.
