Planning Thread for Event: Detective Pikachu, Who's That Pokémon? [APPROVED]

[Cid]

Hey there! This will be my planning thread for Who's That Pokémon.

to plan exactly what

my event

will entail, the rules, how you determine the winner etc etc.

I will try to edit this post in the coming days as I try to change the post templates a bit. Again, I'd like to give a huge thank you to Hyzenthlay and Revise Librarian for offering their templates from last year.

Welcome! It's time to put your Pokémon knowledge to the test with Pokémon Trivia's classic "Who's That Pokémon" contest! If you think you have what it takes to become a world-class Pokémon detective like Detective Pikachu, then you've come to the right place!

This year Get-Together's theme is detective mystery. We're exploring the story about Detective Pikachu and Eevee solving a mystery on the resurgence of Team Rocket. Users will earn points to work on common goal - solving this case. For the points: this event will award 6 points for every person who guesses a Pokémon right, for a possible total of 60 points.

Overview

For the next ten days, a zoomed-in section of a Pokémon will be posted to this thread every day, and your goal is to identify which Pokémon the art belongs to. The clue will be a cropped 30x30 px section of a certain Pokémon's art, zoomed in eight times to 240x240 px.

All of the clues used will be taken from the Pokémon's official Dream World art. Mega Pokémon and Alolan Forms may be included as possible answers!

You will have 48 hours to solve each puzzle, and the answers will be posted as soon as each puzzle ends. For every puzzle you solve correctly, you will earn 6 points on the scoreboard. Good luck!

How to Participate

To submit your answer for a puzzle, send me a PM (private message) with your answer before that puzzle's deadline. (Don't post your answers in this thread!)

Please specify which puzzle you are answering somewhere in your message, or you could put it in the title!

You may answer as many times as you want for any given puzzle, but only your final answer will count!

Feel free to chat about the puzzles and how easy/hard you find them! In fact, I even encourage having discussions about the contest here. That will make things more fun, after all!

Hi Cid! I see you're gonna be going with the design of previous years. :> If you're all set and nothing else needs to be done, let me know please and I'll mark this as approved. :)

Thanks for booping me. I changed it up a little bit! If the new stuff looks alright to you, Zach, then I'm all set. :)

Hi, Cid! I forgot to mention, the links to puzzles on the main board initially looked like the spoiler below! It demonstrates how "finished", "ongoing", and "unannounced" puzzles would look, which can be edited as the event goes on. (They're a bit of a pain to edit haha, so I can help with that during the GT if you ever need!)

Basically, you can add or remove as many as you want!
