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.

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

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.

Riddle #1 (Easy):
An odd duo of types this interesting Poke makes
Not wing nor ground and stuff done up by rakes
We must however contemplate
Medi and Medi, the first in meditate

Riddle #2 (Medium):
Common and annoying in real life indeed
A staple in the first, after starters, and has three
But not the icky to the girls but that which comes after
Ash thought Spearow was this, and caused us to burst in laughter

Riddle #3 (Hard):
Its evo is rather popular and elegantly done
Typing of heat, as hot as the August sun
Get a geo to make it evolve and split
It shall give a curse if you make it throw a fit

Riddle #4 (Easy):
I've been all three dog, legend and papa
Brought to my daughter another one's mama
You know the movie I'm talking about
Where Unknown world of imagination no doubt

Riddle #5 (Medium):
Not pot, not coke, nor crystal meth
Pink elephants and such causing great death
Spores go flying when I have been hit
Ish not cool when I'm smoked in a fit

Riddle #6 (Hard):
It's always the same no matter what
Staples are needed, and this is one
Not cat nor mouse, nor a mutt
In the last, shocking flash will run

Riddle #1: Meditite - Pretty simple I think. It's a two-typed Pokemon. And the last line shows that it's either Meditite or Medicham, and the first one is Meditite.
Riddle #2: Pidgey - It's a "staple" in the first games, meaning that it's one just about everyone gets at some point. However, it's not a bug (icky to girls) and comes after, which would be Pidgey. Also, Ash thought he saw one and threw a rock at it in the first episode, but it turned out to be Spearow and things went awry.
Riddle #3: Vulpix - Its evolution (Ninetails) is really pretty and elegant. It's a Fire type and you use a rock (geo) to evolve it. Vulpix's tails split when it evolves. Ninetails will also curse you if you do something sinful. That was supposed to be assumed that it happens after this Pokemon evolves.
Riddle #4: Entei - In the movie with the Unown (can't remember the name right now), Entei ended up playing the girl's father and brought Ash's mom to her to be her new mother. Unown also started to change the world to fit what the girl wanted.
Riddle #5: Shroomish - The first line suggests the name has something to do with drugs, though it's not those mentioned. Pink elephants and such suggests that it's a hallucinogen, the most common being acid. Spores go flying when I've been hit, suggests that it is a plant of some kind, and connecting that with the hallucinogen means that it must be a mushroom of some kind. Ish not cool, I misspelled is to have an h on the end on purpose, as ish is part of the name Shroomish. Shroom is a short name for the mushroom drugs.
Riddle #6: Shinx - I am simply saying that no matter what, staples are needed no matter what in these Pokemon games. I thought that Shinx was more of a small fox than anything else, though there has been some controversy over this. None the less, three or four people did get this one right, so they did figure it out. Its Pokedex entry says somewhere that when startled, it will run in a flash.

Riddle #7 (Easy):
Sun shining, I seem to have much more energy
When I'm hurt, I'll suck up yours to become healthy
At five I can smell quite wonderfully sweet
Common and cute, first word stone will cause an evo feat

Riddle #8 (Medium):
The first three letters in what Tubman was before
Now we all know what was for her in store
Still I'm lazy, but then again, aren't we all?
Our kingdoms do everything for us so we don't fall

Riddle #9 (Hard):
Take a two and double it for first
Now take the second since first is worst
Here we have the number that everything comes in
Double that to get the last, that's right, you're at el fin

Riddle #10 (Easy):
The middle child with quite a tantrum unlike Tigger
I shall use my flame to make me appear bigger
The second of the second of the last, oh what hell
Fire and another so in combat I can do well

Riddle #11 (Medium):
This line is the only with both of these types
Though another Poke has it while the before is night free
My skin will cause you to bark out in great hypes
But I am the largest and will cause all to listen within my sea

Riddle #12 (Hard):
Ask the doctor, he'll tell you I'm a pain
Causing great discomfort, an attacking in vain
But I can't help myself with my evil scheme
To take over the world which is my dream

THE RIDDLER FOR JUNE HAS ENDED!!!

7.) Oddish - Has Sunny Day to make it quicker in sunny weather, and knows Absorb to gain health. It learns Sweet Scent at Level 5 and the sun stone will make it evolve.
8.) Slaking - Tubman is Harriet Tubman who was a SLAve. He's lazy, and a king rules a kingdom, giving you the second part to his name. King.
9.) Driblim - Take a 2 and double it for first. So the first number is 4. Now take the second since first is worst. That just means the second number is 2. The number that everything comes in is 3, and you double that and end the riddle, so the last digit is a 6. So Pokemon #426.
10.) Monferno - Middle child just means the second in a line. It has an attitude and uses its tail to appear larger. The second Pokemon of the second line in the last generation. It's part Fire and Fighting, which is what I'm referring to with combat.
11.) Sharpedo - This is the only line where every Pokemon in it has these two types. The other Pokemon is Crawdaunt, but Corphish is only Water, not Dark too (night free). Its skin will hurt you (Rough Skin), and its known to be a bull of the seas.
12.) Spoink - The doctor I'm referring to is House... who is now 'Mer Gray. He's been up against this Spoink continuously who has been attacking him and trying to take over the world with his evil schemes. XD

The reults are:

1st Place: Jackpot with 30 Points. You shall receive $500 and a... Male Spoink (at Level 8 of course).
2nd Place: Gray Griffin with 25 Points. You shall receive $250 and a Great Ball.
3rd Place: Crackles and Gourmet. You shall each receive a Pokeball.
