Pokeword Puzzles

1 down.... not Mega Evolution, though I guess that would've been too obvious =P
Not Pokémon Amie either.... not Super Training... not Ride Pokemon. Not the PSS.
"Could stay up all night looking at it"... maybe related to the change to 3D... feels more like an artstyle change than mechanic though. Pass for now.

10 Down, "Holo Caster" ?

12 Down, feels Super Training related... "Reset Bag" ?

5 across.... probably "Lost Hotel".

9 Down... gotta be one of the many cafes... was it "Cafe Woof" ? :unsure:

ACROSS
2. Broke the Nuzlocke rules over this
3. A prize in a high place. Beware the dinosaurs guarding it.
5. 1 star. Full of trash. Would not stay the night here again.
6. A group of seven Pokemon. Probably good firefighters. May steal your valuables, though.
7. "Hey, do you want to come over?" Costs 50000 Pokedollars for that basic note.
11. At the center of green, blue, red, yellow, and magenta.

DOWN
1. A shocking new mechanic in this generation. Could stay up all night looking at it.
4. Might mistake them for the Bug gym leader in a certain outfit. Never carries a single Bug type, however.
8. Probably common in Pokemon 1/X and Pokemon 1/Y. Bets on Malamar feeling comfortable in this environment too. May or may not actually be stronger there.
9. Caters to Furfrou enthusiasts. Definitely sells puppuccinos here (if they existed in-game, anyways).
10. Typically saw Malva on this before being shut down. Also changes color, depending on your character's gender.
12. Train with this to become...weaker? Do you break your hand when hitting it?
 
6 Across - Probably "Barbaracle".
It's a group of binacle clustered together iirc.


Edit:
7 across: "Writ of Invitation".
Correct on Barbaracle (the Collective Pokemon with the Pickpocket ability) and Writ of Invitation (Attracts more trainers) at the Battle Chateau.

INVERSE BATTLE

11. At the center of green, blue, red, yellow, and magenta.
SYCAMORE

PRISM TOWER
 
INVERSE BATTLE

SYCAMORE

PRISM TOWER
Correct on Inverse Battle. 1/X = the inverse of X, for anyone wondering. Expected that one to be a tough one, even with Malamar in there.

Incorrect on Sycamore. Never carries a Bug Pokemon, true. Stays in the same outfit, though.

Correct on Prism Tower. Lies between all those colored monuments. Translated them out of French.

Updated the crossword. Solved the bottom half.

4. Lysandre ?


I think I had seen him wearing some tentacles like gears during the last phase or around that, which looks oddly like insect....






Is 2 across O-POWER ?

There are certain things there which makes nuzlocke easier as we can restore HP/PP with it.....




In 1 down, is the last word TERRAIN ?

3 Across: "Cliff Badge" ?

Either that or perhaps the TM Grant gives, can't think of anything else guarded by dinosaurs.
Correct. Climbs up a wall. Defeats Amaura and Tyrunt for the badge.
4. Lysandre ?

Correct on Lysandre. Inexplicably wore this:
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokeword Puzzles

Incorrect on O-Power. Allows something like that in the most basic Nuzlocke rules. (Expects more experienced Nuzlockers to ban it, though.)

Correct on the Terrain part.

Something ending in terrain for 1 down? =O

Electric Terrain, Grassy Terrain, Misty Terrain, Psychic Terrain. Needs an I two letters before terrain, leaves Electric & Psychic and Psychic doesn't fit. Probably Electric terrain then, but kinda feels like I'm sniping Delta. Probably never would've come to mind for me as I thought terrains were introduced in gen 7 xD

I'm too unfamiliar with nuzlockes to even try 2 across, would have to look up what all of a nuzlocke's rules are in the first place.

Correct on Electric (Terrain). Prevents you from falling asleep. (Forgot when it was introduced too. Never rose to prominence until the Tapus came.) Sees no reason not to fill it in.

At the present instant, two words came to my mind;

1. ANXIETY:

Players might get anxious while doing such a challenge.


2. POVERTY:

Running out of money due to expensive living in Kalos may made the nuzlocke tougher.

(Whoops. Saw this. Misremembered about replying to it.)

Incorrect for both. Is not quite so abstract.

Copy/pasted the basic Nuzlocke rules from Bulbapedia below.
Basic rules

The Nuzlocke Challenge has only two rules that must be followed:

  • Limited Encounters: The player may only catch the first wild Pokémon encountered in each area, and no others. If the first wild Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances.
    • If the first encounter in an area is a Double Battle or Horde Encounter, the player may choose which of the encountered Pokémon to catch, but only one of them.
  • Dying: Any Pokémon that faints is considered dead and must be released. If you run out of living Pokémon, you've failed the challenge and must restart the game.
    • The move Revival Blessing cannot be used to bring back a dead Pokémon.
 
Something to do with FLOETTE ?

or GALETTE ?

Just random guess looking at the length and Kalos' theme.
 
Something to do with FLOETTE ?

or GALETTE ?

Correct with Floette. Violated the permadeath rule of the Nuzlocke by bringing Floette back to life.

Finishes off the crossword. Hands first dibs on hosting to ReKoil, as the one who answered the most questions.
 
Lost Floette in the war. Showed an image of a coffin. Cannot revive fainted Pokemon under the Nuzlocke rules. Resurrected Floette with the machine later known as the ultimate weapon, however. Breaks one of the primary Nuzlocke rules.

Edit: Referring to AZ's Floette.
