Witching Week Pokémon Bingo 🔮

    Happy Witching Week! For those of you under 65 and/or do not know what Bingo is:

    Bingo is a game of chance in which each player matches the numbers printed in different arrangements on cards. The game host (a caller) draws at random, marking the selected numbers with tiles. When a player finds that the selected numbers are arranged on their card in a row, they call out "Bingo!" to alert all participants to a winning card.

    We play it a little differently here with a Pokémon twist (and, this time around, a Halloween twist), but the basic principles are the same!

    overview

    • Each round will be themed, typically after a Pokémon type but for Witching Week, I've thrown in some new categories to switch things up.

    • When the theme is announced, participants will have 24 hours to create and post their Bingo cards, filling it with Pokémon/items from the chosen theme.

    • Twice a day (at 10 AM PST and 10 PM PST), I will randomly pull 10 Pokémon/items of the category and post them here.

    • Reminders of drawing time, wins, round starting/ending will be posted to the Discord bulletin as well - if you would like to be notified, you can add the role @Retirement Home for pings about the event.

    • Players are responsible for keeping track of their own cards and marking off any called numbers on it, and the round will run until someone gets 5 in a row!

    • A new theme will then be announced, and the game will repeat until the end of the week.

    categories

    Swapping out the Type Wheel returning players are familiar with, we will be playing with some new categories this time around.

    TRICKS

    Moves that inflict Sleep, Confusion or Poison.

    TREATS

    Sweet treats for Pokémon!

    HAUNTS

    Didn't completely eliminate Pokémon rounds - this one will be Ghost-types.

    DARK DEEDS

    Dark-type moves.

    To avoid confusion, each round will be accompanied with a list of all possible draws - I am human and I do miss things, so a list of every item/move I'll be popping into the randomizer should minimize the possibility of cards having things not in the draw pool.

    bingo cards!

    Once a theme has been announced, you will have 24 hours to make and fill out your Bingo card with Pokémon adhering to the theme.

    Here is a basic template, and you are more than welcome to use this one, but feel free to customize and put your own spin on it or make your own from scratch, as long as it follows the convention of being a 5x5 grid with a 'free' tile in the center.

    I will take note of all cards posted before the round begins, and then throughout the round you can just edit your post with your updated card (marking off any called Pokémon you have on it).

    It doesn't have to be fancy - though there will be extra points if it is - you can do this with any editing software, even like Paint or your phone's gallery editor, as long as the Pokémon names on your card are discernible and you have a way of marking them off.

    We will just do the basic 5-in-a-row winning patterns, so any 1 row will count (horizontal, vertical, diagonal). If you have a winning pattern, make a new post saying "BINGO!" to alert me of your win.

    have fun!

    We are going to start with the category "Tricks"! You can start making your Bingo cards now. Typically, card-creation is 1-day but for this first round you will have until 10 PM PST of October 27 to create your card.

    Here are all the possible moves you can put on your Bingo card:

    Designed a card for Tricks. Cannot grab any easy Pokemon art for moves. Drew stuff in Paint on a two-minute timer instead. Tried to stick solely to the brushes. (Used maybe one shape early.) Will not claim to be a good artist.
