(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.)
- TO DO: rule dealing with what happens if we run out of Pokémon for a given letter; at the time of this edit (11 March 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"
- Nidoran♀, Nidoran♂, Porygon2: last letter is treated as "N"
- 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.)
[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.)
