Silhouette Shenanigans

[ReKoil]

This game is based on 'Who's That Pokemon?', which was once in the anime (idk if it still is, I stopped watching the Pokemon anime a long time ago lol).

Rules/How To Play:
There are 24 silhouettes on the picture. 3 for each generation of pokemon. These 2 facts are your only hints initially. If a guess is incorrect, I will post a pokedex entry for that mon, to give you an additional hint! But, only once for each mon on the pic! The pokedex entry can be from any game the pokemon has a pokedex entry in!
When all 24 have been guessed correctly, a new pic with a set of 24 silhouettes will go up, along with the reveal picture of the old set of 24 as well! Each silhouette can be any currently existing mon! Legendaries, mythicals, baby mons, regional forms, alternate forms/styles!

One round will be 10 pictures and, within a round, there are no repeat mons. Unless that mon has a regional/alternate form or alternate style(s), in which case the other form or style can still show up as well! Maybe even in the same picture... ;)
Important note: Regional forms count for the generation they were introduced in! As such Galar Slowking would be 1 of the 3 gen 8 silhouettes, not gen 2!
When a new round starts, it starts from scratch! All previously used mons are fair game again!

Since I'm the game's host, I can't participate for obvious reasons. I will periodically check in to confirm or deny a guess to be correct (at least once every 2 days, but I'll aim for at least once a day). There is no need to wait for me to confirm or deny if a guess is correct, but try not to repeat guessing a certain number unless you know for sure the previous guess for that number is false! Make sure you let someone else guess a mon before guessing again!

To play the game, just look at the picture and pick a number of which you think you know what pokemon it is. You can only guess 1 mon on the pic at a time!
However, you can pick any number that hasn't been correctly guessed yet!
I will put a text list (under each picture) of mons that have been correctly guessed, so make sure you take a look at it =)
No need to start at 1,2,3, etc. If you think you know number 17 and it hasn't been guessed yet, then just guess number 17!
For example:
Reply 1:
Number 17 = Arctozolt!
Reply 2:
Pretty sure Number 12 = Gothita....
Reply 3:
Number 18 is Mewtwo!

Round silhouette:
For each round there is 1 cut up silhouette that will be revealed, piece by piece, for each pic of 24 that gets completed! The round picture is cut up into 9 pieces, and starts off with only 1 piece revealed. Guessing this mon is allowed as soon as 3 pieces of the round picture are revealed.
Once the round mon has 3 pieces revealed, you can guess what it is alongside your guess for the normal pic of 24 silhouettes. For example:
'Number 12 is Reshiram.
Pretty sure the round mon is Slowking.'

Score:
Each correct guess gets you 10 points. If multiple people guess the same mon correctly, only the person to guess it correctly first gets the points! You start with 0 points.
Guessing the round mon correctly will earn you 100 points!

The leaderboard for this game will be at the bottom of this post.

Edit: removed losing points for guessing falsely. Didn't seem like a good idea in retrospect.

Edit: You can now guess up to 5 Pokemon at once.

#1 Looks like Kangaskhan to me.

I would like to guess the others, but I'm not quite sure if I'm allowed to take a crack at different mons at once, so I'll start with the first one for now.

I thought this format would lend itself better for Forum games.
I was originally gonna put up 1 pic a week though and everyone could just guess all. You're the first to reply/try this.

I can swap back to the original format in case of lack of interest or if people prefer it that way. (Feel free to indicate if you would prefer the original guess all once a week)

Back on topic:

You are correct!
Correctly guessed mons:
1 = Kangaskhan

 

[packratsam]

I'd like to guess pokemon #2! It's Luxio :)

Correct!

Was not expecting this to suddenly get bumped... it's been dead for years =P
Had to look for a while to see if I still had the images for this xD

Is number 3 Shroomish?

What's the format for this game? I honestly think the rules could be cleaned up a bit and made more clear if it's going to be in the main circulation, but I also really like the idea of it, so if you can tidy up the rules I'll sticky it. I'd also suggest making the silhouettes less noticable, maybe by starting with them zoomed or pixelated a bit, because I'm such a nerd that I can literally guess the whole board right now lol.

#14 is what my mouse turns into whenever I hover over your flair for example. :p

I made a small change to the original format. To potentially help speed this up people can guess up to 5 Pokemon at once.
That said I don't intend to run all 10 rounds anymore. I'll honor the 1st round that got posted and never really got played years ago.

Correct!

This is a game from 2021 that someone bumped recently. I already considered it dead tbh.
It was aimed at a then more active Pokemon Trivia section, but never really got played. I was also still pretty new back then and didn't know how hard to make it.
I've been playing with the idea of a different version of silhouettes, based on YouTube videos where you get a familiar looking shape and then it ends up being some other Pokemon drawn from a weird perspective =P. I think something like that would be more fun and more of a challenge given how familiar most PT regulars are with the mons themselves.
I would need to actually draw stuff for that though and have neither motivation nor time to draw atm, unfortunately.

anyway....
Just post a number that's on the image that hasn't been guessed yet and name the mon. Once everything on the image was guessed correctly, round 1 would be over and a new image would be posted for round 2. Game would end with a winner by points after 10 rounds.
There was also a round mon that gets revealed bit by bit for every round completed but I'm dropping that =P

Which is ? =3

Ah, that's very fair, yet a touch unfortunate. This game has quite a lot of promise imo, but the workload vs active players doesn't balance out, I agree. I'll lock the game once it's over, then. But if you or anyone else has an idea for a 'WTP?' game, PM me about it, I think (especially with the PC's current social media push) one could do quite well if marketed properly.

Which is ? =3

A transformed Ditto obviously.
