I'll take an R in advance for the puzzle, please.
ANNOUNCEMENT: mr_pikachu has created a Pokémon randomizer that will help you pick a Pokémon when it is your turn to post a puzzle. This will help make sure that every Pokémon will have an equal oppourtunity of coming up. Here is the link to it: http://www.angelfire.com/pokemon2/mr_pikachu/index.html
Pokémon Hangman v.42

Game Founder / Rules Creator: Jay
Rules Editor For This Version: Christen (Number1ChanseyFan)
Hosts: mr_pikachu, Knight of Time, Number1ChanseyFan
I'm sure we've all played hangman when you're bored, or at least heard of it. Pokemon Hangman
was first created by Mist who is associated with the Charmander Central Club in giving out
"plushies" as prizes for people who guessed correctly. People began big collections of these
"plushies" when this game was first introduced to PCG, and I hope that people will extend
their big collections, or even start them, today.
Rules
Newest rules in Light Yellow
The rules of Hangman are fairly straight-forward. If you don't know them, then watch a few
people post and we're sure you'll get the hang of it. *sigh*
But we do have specific rules that we need to follow to make the game slightly trickier. You
may only post a maximum of THREE single letter guesses
per person before you must guess the name of the Pokemon. This rule is subject to change. But
for now it's THREE and only THREE single letter guesses per
person, per round. This shouldn't be too hard to follow. If you notice someone that has made
more than three single letter guesses then you should be smart and tell them so.
When someone guesses the word correctly it is their turn to think of a Pokemon for others to
guess. Please make sure you don't mess up for other people's sake - Double check to see if a
letter is present in the Pokemon's name you're doing before you post to avoid mistakes. Also,
if it's your turn, try and pick a Pokemon that hasn't already been done. You don't need to
always pick evolved forms. The rarity of each plushie should remain the same so we have a
nice mix. You may only win a maximum of three plushies per day - This is to prevent a certain
group of people called plushie hogs grabbing all the stuff
every second turn. If you win three plushies you may still play, however if you win after
you've exceded the limit you must either A) Give the plushie to someone else who is less
fortunate or B) Do not take the plushie as a prize. Just make sure everyone has a fair go
too!
The 24 hour, three plushie rule takes effect at the start of every day (12:00 a.m.) depending on your time zone. Let's say you won three plushies on a given day. If you win another one at or after 12:00 a.m. GMT of the next day (give or take at least one hour depending on your time zone), this rule doesn't apply. But, if you win any plushies between 12:00 a.m. of one day and 11.59 p.m. of the same day, then this rule does apply.
Legendaries can be won here, but only a worker may give them out. Anyone else may not. If
this were possible we'd have legendaries popping up everywhere, and they deserve a rarity.
Specialized plushies may also be won here, like a Shiny Claydol, or a Pikachu with a Blue
Scarf... the list continues, and only the workers may give them out. You won't know if you've
won one of these very rare plushies until you win the plushie.
The only pokemon that aren't allowed to be done by the players here are: Zapdos, Articuno,
Moltres, Mew, Mewtwo, Lugia, Ho-oh, Celebi, Raikou, Suicune, Entei, Regirock, Regice, Registeel,
Jirachi, Deoxys, Groudon, Kyogre, Latios and Latias. All others are fine.
Oh, and please don't do any Pokemon from the upcoming Diamond and Pearl games yet, either.
You are allowed a maximum of NINE incorrect guesses before it's Game
Over, not per person, that includes everyone's incorrect guesses. Usually people guess the name before the nine incorrect guesses so don't worry. If no one guesses the Pokemon correctly by the quota then no one receives a plushie, and one of the workers must do the next puzzle. You don't get two turns in a row at it.
You may only post one guess until the person posts an update of the current Pokemon.
Try and not be too idle, the workers would like the game to be fast moving. If you guess the
Pokemon correctly and then you're going to be away for 2 weeks then don't wait until you get
back because you'll most likely forget about the game. Give someone else a turn.
Right now, an incorrect letter is counted as 1 incorrect guess and incorrect Pokemon are also
counted as 2 incorrect guesses. This is also subject to change later on to improve/decrease
the difficulty, if any of the workers think it's needed.
Absolutely no editing your guess at the name or a letter. If you plan to edit your post and
notice a late spelling mistake and want to change it then specify so. Don't use this as an
excuse to change your guess because you might have someone who witnessed you with your
previous guess. You'll be in big trouble then.
The scores are no longer being updated - if a worker wishes to spare the time to restart the
scores and keep track of everyone then they may do so.
If it is your turn to post a puzzle, you have 24 hours to post or update the puzzle. In the
case of updating, this applies to four situations:
1. When someone makes a letter guess, and it is in (or not in) the puzzle (this also applies
to letter guesses in advance).
2. When someone makes a Pokemon guess, and it is wrong/right
3. When so many guesses are made that the man might hang (this also applies to letter guesses
in advance as well)
4. When you have yet to post after winning a plushie
If you don't post 24 hours after any situation above, you will lose your turn, and one of the
workers will start the next puzzle. (note: the 24 hour rule doesn't apply to the workers).
If you make an incorrect Pokemon guess by accident, you aren't allowed to delete it and make
a new guess before the person whose turn it is updates.
Plushies
What is a Plushie?
Plushies are soft toys. In this game, if you guess a Pokemon correctly you receive a soft toy
of the Pokemon you guessed correctly.
What do I do with a Plushie?
Umm... look at them? They aren't really used for anything, mainly just a fun collecting sort
of thing. That's all. Maybe one day they might be used for something, but that's a doubtful
possibility. If you have a site it might be wise to put them on there to keep track of what
you have. Or keep them on a word document.
I don't like my plushie! Can I trade with someone else?
Yes, you may as long as the other person agrees. If they don't want to trade with you then
you should respect that. There are many others that may want to trade. Since this game was
created long ago some people may already have a decent amount of plushies they might like to
trade. You could try sending a PM/IM to one of them if you would like to trade or ask for a
list of their plushies. Most people who play Expedia have plushies, so try trading with one
of them, or you could start playing the game to extend your collection a different way.
Can I sell my plushies? Or buy one off someone?
No, you may not sell your plushies for CCPs or Stamps.
How many plushies am I allowed to own?
As many as you can win here. Just remember you can only win a maximum of three every day!
Final Words
ONLY post the names of Pokemon. No dictionary words! That is if you haven't been bothered to
read the rules, which I recommend reading. There are well over 300 Pokemon to choose from so
good luck! (And again, please don’t do any Pokemon from the upcoming Diamond
and Pearl games yet.)
If there's something you don't understand then ask Knight of Time, mr_pikachu or me - we bite but we'll still
help. Or maybe someone else can help. Have fun! Your hosts and hostess- mr_pikachu, Knight of Time, Number1ChanseyFan
The man has been hung a total of thirty times
Hangman makes up approximately 1/5 of the total posts in PCG since last year; considering
this game began in very late April
