Pokemon BrainStrain v.13 (approved by Lady Vulpix)

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Cooler than autumn, cold as winter! Thanks! Now I have just one request, the one I have hesitated to ask for a long time, my Canadian friend! Could you please add the link to the Randomizer to the starter post of this thread? That being said,

P

[Knight of Time]

The first post has been edited to have a link to the randomizer. In the event Louis is able to come on TPM someday, and he is okay with posting the next version of BrainStrain, I'll be sure to let him know about this.

Anyway, let's try Pincurchin first.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thanks, KoTty!

*passes*

You have the puck here!

Pincurchin: P????r*

[Knight of Time]

Hmm, how about Poliwrath?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Wrath is not an answer here.

Poliwrath: P????r*

[Knight of Time]

Hmm, maybe it's Primarina?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

You still have the puck, but you clearly hesitate to shoot!

Primarina: P????ri*

[Knight of Time]

I'm not as hesitant as you think. I'm 100% sure this is Pachirisu.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

HE SCORES!

Congratulations, KoTty! If we were in the same hockey team, that would be a bold goal!

Just one thing I couldn't tell anybody before the puzzle was solved! Namely, the Randomizer gave me PACHIRUSU! That's a typo, right? Risu (栗鼠) is Japanese for squirrel.

Other than that, your turn.

[Knight of Time]

I let Gabi know about the typo...hope she fixes it soon.

Meanwhile, I hope you're ready for a challenge...this one begins with S.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thanks! Challenges are my obsession.

Starting with Serperior.

[Knight of Time]

This should be of help.

Serperior: S??p*

[Lady Vulpix]

I'll go with Sceptile.

[Knight of Time]

Bingo! You just got yourself a Sceptile figurine, Gabi!

'hands it to you'

Go for it (P.S. please check your DMs on Discord when you get a chance).

[Lady Vulpix]

Oops! Sorry! I hadn't realized I got it! 🤦

The next one begins with an E.

[Knight of Time]

Let's start with Eevee.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

And I'll try its evolution, namely Espeon.

[Lady Vulpix]

The Eevee line (tree?) opens up this round with the following results!

Eevee: E*
Espeon: E*

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Eiscue next.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How about Exeggutor?

[Lady Vulpix]

Eiscue: E*
Exeggutor: E*

Looks like this is a tough one!

[Knight of Time]

Going with Ekans next.

[Lady Vulpix]

Ekans: E*

What a streak!

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Emboar next.

[Lady Vulpix]

I'll try Emboar next.

Wow! An unbroken streak of no matches and then a direct hit!

Congratulations, Kyle! You win this round, and the Emboar figurine is yours to prove it.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Gabi, that's a new figurine for me.

Okay guys, I need you to think of the cardinal directions for a moment. The letter that starts "->" starts this one.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

R for right for Rampardos?

[Knight of Time]

R is right, but Rampardos is not I'm afraid.

Rampardos: R*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Hmm, my next guess is Rolycoly.

[Knight of Time]

You've inched a little bit closer.

Rolycoly: Ro*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How about Roggenrola?

[Knight of Time]

Gotta do better than that I'm afraid.

Roggenrola: Ro*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

My next guess is Rookidee.

[Knight of Time]

Careful Mikachu, you've got only one guess left here. Don't waste it!

Rookidee: Ro*

[Lady Vulpix]

I'll try Rockruff.

[Knight of Time]

Rockruff: Ro*

[Lady Vulpix]

OK... How about Rotom?

[Knight of Time]

Rotom: Ro*

[Lady Vulpix]

Roselia, then?

[Knight of Time]

You got it Gabi!

'hands you the Roselia figurine'

Go for it.
