A riddle contest? Yes, that's right. A riddle contest. What will happen is at the beginning of every week (on Sunday) for the entire month, I will put up three riddles, all of which the answer will be a Pokemon. Each riddle is worth a certain number of points. The person with the most points at the end of the month wins, and then there's a second place and third place as well. When you think you know the answer to all of the riddles, PM me (DarkSlayer) with your answers. You will only be allowed to guess once, and I will not tell you if you were right or wrong. You'll find out at the end of the week. On the next Sunday, I will put up the answers with the current standings (who has what number of points) as well as the next set of riddles. Easy riddles are worth 2 points, medium are worth 3, and hard are worth 5. If you don't get any of the riddles right, you still get a point for trying, so there's no reason to not try. Prizes are: 1st Place: A Random Riddle Pokemon and $500 2nd Place: A Great Ball and $250 3rd Place: A Pokeball and $100 If there is a tie by any chance, if it's for first place, both people will get a Random Riddle Pokemon and $250. If it's for second place, they will both receive a Great Ball and $125. If it's for third place, then they will each just receive a Pokeball, no money. Without further ado, let's see the first set of riddles! Riddle #1 (3 Points): Bronchio I swear, the last two letters match I wonder the size of the eggs they from hatch In the third, after dusk and before a chime Can you figure out this little rhyme? Riddle #2 (5 Points): It shall come from a thing so small And it's so laid back, I think it must be dull None the less, I assume it is quite smart To be quite prestigious and not an old fart Riddle #3 (2 Points): Quite common, I own one and beat one Coming out at night, it must not like sun Which is odd for the type that it is of And a weakness to anything resembling a dove GOOD LUCK!!! |

Okay, the standings are above. Currently: 1st: Shadow 2nd: Falcon, Snow, Wiria, Radioactive, Solomon, Buzz, Martakia, Tasogare Okay, obviously that's A LOT of second place people. So if there are that many in second place, there wouldn't be any third place winners. Everyone would just receive a Great Ball and probably like $50. Answers to last weeks riddles: #1 - Tropius: Bronchio is short for brochiosarus, and that and Tropius' last two letters match. I think that their eggs would be quite large. In the third set of games, it comes AFTER DUSKull and BEFORE CHIMEcho. #2 - Xatu: It comes from Natu, which is VERY small. In the Mystery Dungeon games, it's very wise and laid back as well. It was also deemed as a very prestigious Pokemon in the world. #3 - Oddish: I own an Oddish and I defeated an Oddish in the beginning of my journey here in Alternia. They usually aren't out and about in the daylight, which is weird since it's a Grass type, which has a weakness to Flying type. NEW RULE: ANY ARGUING OVER WHY YOUR ANSWER IS CORRECT WILL RESULT IN A DISQUALIFICATION OF THAT ROUND AS WELL AS YOUR CURRENT POINTS BEING CUT IN HALF. Second set of riddles: Riddle #4 (3 Points): One of three, all of the same Of the last, blue and I feel lame Hard to catch, not the one that'll run It should still make it all quite fun Riddle #5 (5 Points): And odd chain of its own right Of the three, the first to take flight Its type may not look quite correct Since it looks like another, is it the right sect? Riddle #6 (2 Points): The animal its of makes girls shriek Slimy and slow, maybe called freak That's not all, two of the same Depending on location, what a game Edited by DarkSlayer1331, Mar 9 2009, 07:50 PM.

Okay, again standings are above. In first we have four people, which means there are no second or third place people. But the first placers are: Falcon, Wiria, Solomon and Martakia. Congratulations so far guys. Everyone else, you still have a shot! This is the third round of the first of The Riddler. It was also brought to my attention that I forgot about Pokemon RPers, those that RP as a Pokemon. The prizes for Pokemon RPers are: 1st Place - A Riddler Pokemon as a partner (spawned in the journey) 2nd Place - A Random Hold Item (it'll benefit you in some way) 3rd Place - A Random Berry Bush spawned in your journey Answers to last week's riddles: #4 - Azelf: One of three Pokemon that's the same type. This being Psychic. It's in the last generation, it's the blue one, and I think it's the lamest of the three. It's hard to catch, but it's not the one that will run away from you (Mesprit is). #5 - Vibrava: Let's face it, the Trapinch chain is odd. Vibrava is the first one in the chain that can fly. It looks like it should be a Bug Pokemon, but it's not. #6 - Shellos/Gastrodon: Girls think snails are really gross and they're slow. There are two forms of them, East and West. Third set of riddles: Riddle #7 (2 Points): Rain or shine, it don't matter The hope of winning shall not shatter It can adapt, change its mold To the news stations, it should be sold Riddle #8 (5 Points): Double digits, unlucky in book and movie Hands on head, oh what a doozie Tilt of head and blank stare are great For the prior of this good catcher of a date Riddle #9 (3 Points): First of the second, gold in shine Let's hope you get it with this rhyme Whirl its head for a good attack Leaves abound that aren't in a sack |

Jsol - 7 Points + 10 Points = 17 Points Car - 3 Points Falcon - 15 Points + 2 Points = 17 Points Shad - 7 Points Snow - 7 Points + 5 Points = 12 Points Wiria - 15 Points RaR - 12 Points + 5 Points = 17 Points Kenny - 7 Points + 5 Points = 12 Points Moogle - 7 Points + 2 Points = 9 Points Radioactive - 7 Points + 5 Points = 12 Points Otto - 4 Points Racer - 9 Points + 5 Points = 14 Points Lexi - 7 Points + 5 Points = 12 Points Korychi - 6 Points + 5 Points = 11 Points Ridley - 1 Point Shockwave - 3 Points + 5 Points = 8 Points Treecko - 4 Points + 2 Points = 6 Points Matt Prideaux - 2 Points Jay - 2 Points Solomon - 15 Points + 10 Points = 25 Points Buzz Buzz - 10 Points + 10 Points = 20 Points Mezmo - 5 Points + 5 Points = 10 Points Martakia - 15 Points + 10 Points = 25 Points Nolan - 7 Points + 5 Points = 12 Points Tasogare - 5 Points Lurke - 8 Points + 2 Points = 10 Points Onyx - 8 Points + 5 Points = 13 Points Kilinoks - 2 Points Lunar - 5 Points Cody - 2 Points + 5 Points = 7 Points Eevachu - 2 Points + 2 Points = 4 Points Killaz - 2 Points + 2 Points = 4 Points Flygon Breeder - 7 Points Maximum - 2 Points + 5 Points = 7 Points Sora - 7 Points Kathy - 2 Points Trainer Kitten - 5 Points Tyrant Rex - 3 Points Su Luna - 2 Points Joeyt - 2 Points MasterM - 2 Points Edited by DarkSlayer1331, Mar 21 2009, 01:49 PM.

Okay, there's a little bit more space between people, though not too much. There's a tie so far for first place, Solomon and Martakia. So they have First + Second together so far. While Third right now is Buzz. #7 - Castform: Whether it's sunny or raining, this Pokemon can still win because of its ability to transform with the weather. So it would be good for the weather channels (better than our current weathermen no?) #8 - Golduck: It's number 55, the same number repeated, 5, which is the girl's unlucky number in the movie with the wal-mart baby, Where The Heart Is. So that's a pop culture reference. The characteristics of the tilting of the head belong to the Pokemon prior to this one, which is Psyduck, meaning that THIS Pokemon is Golduck, who also wins dates. In the anime, Misty thought her Psyduck had evolved to Golduck on the beach, but it was simply a Golduck getting attention of all the pretty girls. #9 - Chikorita: It's the first Pokemon in the second generation whose shiny form is golden colored. It whirls its head around to use Razor Leaf (which is why it's a good attack that is of leaves). The sack part is simply to make it rhyme. Fourth Set of Riddles: Riddle #10 (5 Points): The normal in water, this one not All around it blazes incredibly hot In ours one element, in theirs another Quite a mystery unsolved forever Riddle #11 (3 Points): Second of three from the grass, going from the one before to this At eighteen, which is good as it makes most trainers hiss Not out of cat anger, but just plain lack of mirth What a light weight, a seed of worry in level and birth Riddle #12 (2 Points): Throughout the line you stay just about the same Just a bit of changes in looks, and one type definitely not lame Not many think of it as dragon alone, but more like the water Misty had the first one, wouldn't it be cool if it were the daughter? |

The answers for the last round of riddles for March were: #10 - Torkoal: Turtles are in water in our world, but in the Pokemon world, Torkoal is all about fire. #11 - Skiploom: The second stage Pokemon in the line. Hoppip evolves into it at Level 18. It's not usually well liked for trainers as it's pretty weak and very light in weight. The move Worry Seed is learned as a level up move, and it's also in the Egg Move pool. #12 - Kingdra: Throughout the whole line, it's still a sea horse Pokemon really. Dragon type is really well liked, not lame at all, although most people think of it more as a Water Pokemon. Misty had a Horsea, the first Pokemon in the line. So in first place we have Martakia. Your Pokemon (which is at Level 8 because I'm random like that, haha)... Torkoal, male. You'll also receive $500. Our second place winner is Falcon, who will receive a Great Ball and $250. And in third place we have Solomon who will get a Pecha Berry bush spawned in their journey. Keep this pass until you want to use it. :P Thank you everyone who particpated in the first of The Riddler. The second one shall begin this Sunday and will be hosted by our very own Roses are Red. I shall add everything into people's Profiles right now. ![]() Edited by Zygon, Apr 14 2009, 12:41 AM.
