    -insert clever and witty opening post here-

    Ok, so the point of this game is guess which Pokemon is being hinted at, while being given little tidbits of information. Like, let's say the first pokemon is Pikachu. You would want to give hints that are somewhat broad so as to allow there to be multiple correct answers for that one hint, but specific enough as to narrow it down from the list of 719 pokemon. Examples of acceptable hints to give for Pikachu:

    -It's Base Stat Total is 320
    -It learns Thunder at level 50.
    -It weighs 13.2 pounds.
    -Speed is it's greatest stat.
    -It does not naturally appear in Gen V.

    Hints that give to much information, such as:

    -It was Ash's main pokemon.
    -It is yellow with red cheeks.
    -It learns Volt Tackle.
    -It is pokedex entry #25.

    aren't acceptable because it makes the gamer too easy, and we want this to be a fun challenge, correct?

    So, as for who picks and chooses which pokemon we will be guessing, I will start the game off myself. I will pick a pokemon and give hints while I am available. When it has been correctly guessed, I will allow that person to either:

    -Pick a new pokemon AND give hints
    -Just pick a pokemon
    -Just give hints for a pokemon I choose
    -Forfeit their turn to run the game.

    When that person's pokemon has been guessed, the torch can again be passed to a new player or back to me, whatever the winner at the time desires. This even can be run the length of the Get-Together, but I will be unavailable at times due to work, but I can at least check in every day, either before or after work.
     
    Letting the first correct guesser come up with a Pokemon and hints would probably require a process in which they ask if a Pokemon/their hints are acceptable in PM and it could take a long time if multiple people win over the course of the event. That's something you might do if the event was live; but it's not, it's in a thread over the course of a couple days. I feel you should stockpile maybe ten Pokemon to ask and the people who get x right win x emblem, etc. and so forth.

    As for you being busy, line up another person to post the Pokemon hints if you're unable to so the event runs smoothly. If you can't find co-judges, there will be a Volunteer thread posted at a later date asking for people to help.
     
    Ooh, stockpiling pokemon sounds good. Plus I could use defense boosts.

    And thanks, I will not know my work schedule until about a week in advance but I will try to make sure I get somebody to help run it.
