Last Letter Pokémon Game

Go To

(Unless I'm mistaken, "é" would be messed up in the thread title, but most people seem to not care about the accent marks…)
Right, so this game works as follows:

  • So the first poster (myself) picks a Pokémon.
  • The next poster names a different Pokémon that starts with the last letter of the previous one. (And so on.)
  • To avoid repetitiveness (or something), a Pokémon may only be used once per page. So if somebody's used "Eevee", it can't be used on the same page again.
    • "Nidoran♂" and "Nidoran♀" are treated as two entirely different Pokémon. (Clarification added 27 May 2023.)
    • In the event that someone gets ninja'd and there are two (or more!) Pokémon listed, the next poster is permitted to select which name they respond to. (Added 26 November 2024.)
    • TO DO: rule dealing with what happens if we run out of Pokémon for a given letter; at the time of this edit (26 November 2024) the letter X has a whopping 3 Pokémon.
    • At present, there are no Pokémon whose names end on a J or a Q.
  • For Pokémon whose last letter is an accent (like in Flabébé), the letter is treated as not having the accent.
  • For Pokémon whose last letter is, in fact, a number or symbol, the last letter is treated as being the letter before the symbol. So:
    • Nidoran♀, Nidoran♂, Porygon2: last letter is treated as "N"
      • This also applies to variants of the name, like "Nidoran-M" or "Nidoran (F)" or "Nidoran (fe)male". In this case, the next letter remains "N". (Clarification added 27 May 2023.)
    • Mime Jr.: last letter is treated as "R"
  • For Pokémon who officially have multiple names, either name can be used for those (added 26 November 2024). Currently, these are:
    • Koraidon and Winged King
    • Miraidon and Iron Serpent
  • New Pokémon are permitted, as long as they have been officially revealed.
  • Glitch Pokémon and fan Pokémon are not permitted, sadly. (Added 08 October 2022.)
  • Only the official English names are allowed. (Added 26 November 2024.)

[EDIT]
(23 September 2023)
Thanks to Myskywarm, there's a list of Pokémon that's been used.
Said list's found here. (Assuming a Porygon didn't eat it.)

Exeggcute.

I just realized. Are there any Pokémon that end in Q, or are Quilava, Quagsire, Qwilfish, Quilladin, and the Quaxly family all off the table?

Yeah there's a number of Pokémon that can't be used at present; I'll probably do some digging now—
