Who's That Pokémon?
 

Be a Pokémon detective. Dig, scratch and sniff through the clues given to find out the mystery Pokémon.


Hosted by vaporeon7 and Cid.



About:
–––––––––––––––––
There will be three different types of puzzles in this event that you will have to use your detective skills to solve. Each of the puzzles will be a clue to a Pokémon. Your job is to find the identity of all the mystery Pokémon and send us your results. This event will run the same as the weekly Who's that Pokémon thread found in Pokémon Trivia but with two additional puzzles to solve. It would be wise to get some practice there for one of the puzzles, who knows you could earn an emblem there too.

The three types of puzzles:
–––––––––––––––––
These are the three different types of puzzles that will be used in this competition. The first being a worded puzzle which gives a clue to the Pokémon's identity. The second being a silhouette of a Pokémon in a strange pose from the anime. The last being the traditional enlarged image from the Who's that Pokémon thread found in Pokémon Trivia. Please note that all white colouring in the enlarged image is part of the Pokémon. All puzzles will be full images and not have any parts that aren't part of the Pokémon. All answers are different Pokemon!
The answer to all these examples is Vaporeon.
Word problem:
Spoiler:
"I was once able to learn Mist, who am I?"

I'll be joining this!

...That silhouette one looks hard

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire July 15th, 2011 12:12 AM

Inm joining too
uh I have vague idea on this one..

Chiar July 15th, 2011 12:29 AM

Joining.
However, I have no idea which Pokemon is that...

However, it seems none of Gen. II Pokemon can have Unnerve naturally, just 4 of them (which completely don't match the silhouette) can have it by the Dream World.

I apologise if it wasn't clear but all the questions have different Pokemon as answers.

*Facepalm* Sorry. XD Now that shouldn't be hard.

RYOUKI July 15th, 2011 1:01 AM

Joining. This seems like fun.

Osha_say_wott?! July 15th, 2011 1:41 AM

Since my knowledge of Pokemon from generation II to gen IV are non-existent, this will not be easy for me. xD But nonetheless, I shall give it a try. Let's pika pika this. :chu:

Oryx July 15th, 2011 1:46 AM

Yeah the silhouette and the last enlargement are both stumping me. The silhouette in particular, because from the example you can take the image from anywhere, even one that makes it completely impossible to tell what it is. xD So, we'll see.

Question: Will we still be able to guess on the Day 1 Pokemon on the following days? Or will they be erased for the new ones?

They will be there for all the days, so you have plenty of time to guess. :)

Otherworld9) July 15th, 2011 3:50 AM

I'm joining......this seems hard but I'll give it my best for this.

Blackdragoon July 15th, 2011 5:17 AM

i have a pretty good knowledge of gen 1 to gen 5. so lets hope i get it right

marcc5m July 15th, 2011 5:19 AM

Silhouette took a while...I think I got them all though. :P

Hybrid Trainer July 15th, 2011 6:07 AM

For a bit i thought the first one was some sort of trick question xD
and the first zoomed one bugged the crap outta me >.< i recognised it but it took me ages to work it out xD

ElectricScyther July 15th, 2011 12:23 PM

Those were hard... Especially the third and fourth ones. I wasn't sure what angle I was looking at the silhouette from, or which way it was facing, and all I had was its basic shape, so I ended up guessing. I probably shouldn't have, since my guess was random.

The first, second, and fifth were easy though.

Kevin July 15th, 2011 12:54 PM

So do we PM you each day for the answers?

Logiedan July 15th, 2011 1:45 PM

The 4th one is just bugging me like crazyyy. I think it's because I'm confused of if they are regular picture enlargements are sprite enlargements. ;-;

@Destiny Demon
The silhouettes will stay there for all days, so you can PM the hosts whenever in between the start of the event to the ending.

PorygonShellder July 15th, 2011 2:22 PM

I'm joining. Looks kinda hard, but... :P

TwilightBlade July 15th, 2011 2:26 PM

Yayy I'm joining. 4th one is easy since I didn't forget about it. :P I just don't know the silhouette. D;

Atomic Pirate July 15th, 2011 3:12 PM

I'm joining this contest. I actually have a good feeling about what the sillhouette is.

vaporeon7 July 15th, 2011 7:29 PM

New puzzles are up! You can still submit day one's as well as day two's. All answers are of different Pokemon. There will be a few bonus questions later.

Gymnotide July 16th, 2011 1:21 AM

Ahhh I have all of them but one. I am positive on the ones I have, though, since I basically remade all the questions... And because I know all this trivia by heart anyway.

RYOUKI July 16th, 2011 9:58 AM

Wait, I have a question. I submitted yesterday. Am I still eligible to answer for day 2 as well? Rules are not clear, so I'm not too sure.
