Who's that Pokemon?

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:

"I was once able to learn Mist, who am I?"

Joining.
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.

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?

Are all men stupid?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
Yes you sure are, you should answer every days. Also new questions are up. Bonuses will be up later today.
