So most of you know this game, I'm sure? ^^ Someone posts a Pokemon name, and the next person a name that starts with the last letter of the first, and so on. For example, if I start
"Bulbasaur"
the next poster could reply
"Raichu"
---
HOWEVER. x3 SG dislikes this game under standard rules because it goes forever with no risk and minimal effort.
So a few additional rules to make things more interesting:
The object, then, is to maintain the lowest number of losses in addition to the standard naming. ^^ This adds a certain level of competition and need for awareness over the basic version of the game. :3 Should be fun! >D
LOSSES:
Will be added as people lose.
So without further ado~

So a few additional rules to make things more interesting:- You can't repeat a name, or you "lose". You can keep playing, of course, but losses will be recorded in this post as a sort of "wall of shame". >3 (This also prevents following Eevee with Eevee, as was actually made fun of in-game in Shadows of Almia. xD)
- If there are no names available for that letter, to keep the game going the next poster must say "Impossible", and reply with a random name instead. (One that doesn't have the same last letter, of course. xD) Claiming an impossible turn mistakenly will also result in a loss, however.
- Once an impossible letter has been called out, all the names for that letter become usable again.
- If you accidentally repeat a name or say impossible when it's not, and no one calls it out for at least five posts, you can't be penalized for it later. In other words, it's just like real life: you're only in trouble if you get caught, lol.
- Finally, no Gen 5 names. In addition to the language issue, not everyone has been following it, and some prefer not to, so it's not fair if half the members have a larger pool to work from than the others. :3 *nod*

Saying "SG rants a lot" is like saying "Longcat is long".
