Pokemon BrainStrain v.15 (approved by Lady Vulpix)

[Knight of Time]

I believe that you are right!

'hands you a Kirlia figurine'

Go for it, Louis.

[Shadow Wolf]

Thank you very much Kyle. Now, before this figurine teleports on me (which was a way I failed a shiny Kirlia once), let me give the C as the letter that will start the next puzzle.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Starting with Charizard.

[Shadow Wolf]

The favorite of many, but not of this puzzle:


Charizard: C*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

My next guess is Carvanha.

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Clobbopus.

[Shadow Wolf]

Though the progress is not apparent, I do like your fighting spirit guys.


Carvanha: C*
Clobbopus: C*

[Knight of Time]

What about Cyndaquil?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How about Cubone?

[Shadow Wolf]

One of you got closer:

Cyndaquil: C*
Cubone: Cu??n*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

So is this Cufant?

[Shadow Wolf]

That is correct Mikachu. The Cufant figurine is your prize this time.

*Hands over figurine*

Well played! And now it's your turn.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Gracias.

E starts this Encounter!

[Shadow Wolf]

OK, let's start with Entei

[Knight of Time]

I'll go with Eternatus.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Brave guesses, and one of them is even showing some direction!

Entei: E??e*
Eternatus: E*

[Shadow Wolf]

One of two: let's try Eldegoss.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

And Eldegoss it is.

Here you are!

[Shadow Wolf]

Thank you Mikachu. That's another new figurine.

Now, the letter before the letter used in the previous puzzle starts the next one.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I hope the divine Dialga will guide us the way.

EDIT: Can you believe it, I just commented Shadow Wolf's post in Hangman where I'm not a worker! Why am I making mistakes in this game so often?

[Knight of Time]

That's definitely not it...I'll try Dragonair first.

[Shadow Wolf]

Well, the good thing is that, even though only workers can give out legendaries, they can still provide clues to a normal puzzle in BrainStrain:


Dialga: D*
Dragonair: D????n*

[Knight of Time]

That narrows things down nicely, so how about Dewgong?

...darn, forgot the fourth letter isn't a G.

[Shadow Wolf]

While you do have a valid point, it is also good to know that no guess is truly wasted here:

Dewgong: De???n*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

After the usual goofing around by Mikachu Yukitatsu, is this Dedenne?

[Shadow Wolf]

You are correct Mikachu. You may have fooled around or so, but you have scored the winning guess, so congrats on the Dedenne figurine.

*Hands over figurine*

Your turn!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thanks.

This one starts with letter P.

[Shadow Wolf]

OK, let's start with Pincurchin

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Pincurchin: P*

[Shadow Wolf]

OK. How about Palkia?

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Phione.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Palkia: P*
Phione: P*

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Perrserker next.

[Shadow Wolf]

And I'll follow with Poipole.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Perrserker: Pe*
Poipole: P*

[Shadow Wolf]

Looks like spring is indeed here. Is this Petilil?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Well, I still see some snow when I look outside, but this is Finland after all. Anyways, you're right, Shadow, this is Petilil indeed.

Congratulations, and your turn!

[Shadow Wolf]

Hope the weather improves soon where you live.

Thank you for the figurine and the letter P guides the next puzzle.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll copy Ash Ketchum and start with Pikachu.

[Shadow Wolf]

Nice start!

Pikachu: P??a*
