1.) In the 'Pokemon Trainer's Choice' segment in the Pokemon anime, many Pokemon's names were misspelled; however, two Pokemon were labeled as an entirely different species of Pokemon than the sprite that appeared above the name. Name both Pokemon (the sprites) who were mistaken to be a different Pokemon, alphabetically.

2.) In Mario Kart Wii, competitions were held online twice a month with challenges on various courses. There were just 2 courses where competitions did not take place. Name the non-retro course where no competition was held and the character that both staff ghosts used in time trials on said course (Wii), in that order.

3.) Take the following two types: 1. The type that has the most other types that resist it (if tie, first alphabetically) 2. The type that, not counting formes, has had more than half of the pokemon of that type introduced in a single generation. Of all pokemon with both of these two types, name the one that has a different primary type.
1.) beautiflysealeo
2.) moomoomeadowsbabydaisy
3.) skorupi

The young boy barged through the town's streets, scouring the streets for any sign of the old man he had spoken to many weeks ago. He was hard to find; strange men in plain clothing were more than commonplace among the scavengers. The only thing that differentiated the clothes of one person to the next was the small magnifying glass-shaped badge pinned above every person's heart: the mark of a scavenger. Each member of the community had a unique colored badge, however similar they may have looked; and each person wore it with pride, to signify their love and dedication to the scavengers. The old man, strange as he was, was no different when the boy last saw him, and by all accounts, should not have been any different.
But the boy knew better.
The old man had told him about a man in robes of turquoise. Once gone, he said, but someone who would be returning from dormancy soon. And the young boy didn't believe him. Not at first, anyway. Colored robes were worn only by the community's leaders at the highest level: the ROs, a name whose meaning had been lost to time. To his knowledge, there had been only two scavengers who wore the RO's outfit: the GME the Wise, in his plum-colored clothes, and Flerovium the Dank, in a deep cardinal red. He was somewhat aware that there had been one who wore turquoise, but that was in the past. And in the scavengers community, those who left their roles rarely ever returned. Whichever RO had worn turquoise should not have been any different.
But now, the boy knew better. He had seen an RO in robes of turquoise appear out of nowhere around the town, just like the old man predicted. It wasn't normal. There had been no grandiose ceremony, as he knew there was when a moderator was promoted to the highest role. He heard very few people making any deal of it. And that was despite the fact that he had led three official hunts since he reappeared. They acted so normally, it was like no one noticed it - which was exactly why it was so odd that the old man had been... so correct.
And to the young boy, that could mean only one thing.
Finally, he returned to the spot where he had met the old man the first time: resting against one of the town's limestone walls along a market street. He had spotted the old man around several times since they spoke, and he was almost always around there. And sure enough, once again, he saw a familiar face - a long, white beard, a paint palette beside him, and a necklace with four intersecting lines in the shape of what he was told was an "octothorpe."
"You, old man," he called out, storming to his side. The man looked surprised. "Have you deceived me?"
The old man stared at him for a moment. "You certainly do love to ask questions. Have you tried an official hunt lately?"
"Don't mock me," he spat. "When last we spoke, you told me of a man in robes of turquoise-"
"Teal," he corrected him with a smile.
If the boy's suspicions were correct, he could do nothing but bite his tongue. "Robes of teal," he repeated begrudgingly. "And I did not believe you. I'd like to be the first to say I was wrong not to."
The old man nodded. "I appreciate that," he admitted. "But if I was right about that, why do you accuse me of deceiving you?"
"Because," he reasoned. "The whole ordeal is far too strange for anyone to have simply predicted. That man - is he an RO?"
"I'd think so." The elder man fiddled with his necklace. "So far as I know, the council members don't typically let people borrow their clothes."
"Then why was there no buzz about his sudden promotion? I'm told that there always is some sort of announcement, at the very least. But I heard nothing."
It looked as if the old man was debating to himself on whether or not to answer. Finally, he sighed. "I believe you've figured everything out," he admitted. "If you must know... it is because I never left."
The boy's eyes widened. He was right. "So you're-"
"Quiet," the old man said sternly. "I didn't leave my robes at home for no reason. I'd like to keep a low profile."
Too curious to leave, the young boy sat down next to him. "So... you're an RO?" he whispered.
"Indeed," the man conceded. "In my time, I was known as Pespeon the Joyous." He picked up his palette like he was getting ready to leave at any time. "From the time I was shown to be able to summon great hunts from my words - that is, when I was deemed a voice - I approached organizing officials with great enthusiasm. The same when I was chosen to be the one to drive the mystical questions into our realm, and so forth. I found endless joy and escape in scavenging, but mostly in providing a way for others to."
He looked at his palette sadly. "But all good things must come to an end. In time, the joy of being an RO faded. And as that joy faded, I was left unable to fulfill promises, and unable to contribute to the community I once loved so endlessly. And so I slowly disappeared away, rarely ever coming back. When I did, I hid myself away in the guise of the common man that you see here." He examined his plain brown clothing. "It's not much, but it's not bad. I may as well get used to it now, anyway."
"But..." the boy said. "Why, then, did you come back?"
Pespeon gazed out across the street. He was silent for a considerable amount of time. "I'd like to find that joy again," he replied. "The joy of giving to the scavengers. I figure that if I return to my duties as RO, perhaps the happiness I used to feel will return with me. And perhaps I will continue to stay."
Now, any disdain the boy had felt for the old man had been replaced with curiosity about the RO sitting next to him. "Do... do you think that it will work?"
He thought about the question. "I can't say for sure," he shrugged. "I know what I believe will happen now, but I'd not like to jump to conclusions. All I can say is that, if it does not work, and my joy does not return... I'm happy to have given it one last shot."
After a moment, he got up, holding his palette with him, and began to walk away. Shocked, the boy stood up to follow him. "Wait!" he called out. "Pes... old man!"
Pespeon looked over his shoulder. "Yes?"
The young boy approached the RO so that he could continue to speak quietly. "When last we spoke," he recalled, "you told me that the man in robes of teal had made ninety-six officials."
He nodded. "That is correct."
"And since you've returned," he continued. "You've made three more, have you not?"
A smile began to spread across Pespeon's face. "Once again, you're right."
"So... does that mean..." the boy's voice trailed off, waiting for the RO to say it himself.
He laughed. "Yes, yes, of course," he nodded. "Of course I have plans for my one hundredth. Tell me, boy... have you ever played in a Scavenger Games?"

Winner: AnthemOfTheWorld
Second Place: CloudyNatu

Q1) One popular style of Pokémon game playthrough is the Nuzlocke, in which the central rule is that a player cannot use a Pokémon again once it faints. The name "Nuzlocke" in particular is derived from both the Pokémon Nuzleaf, and a character who originated on this TV show.
Q2) An optional rule of Nuzlocke runs is that while the player can catch evolved Pokémon, they may not further evolve Pokémon that they catch. If the player follows this rule, what is the first fully-evolved Pokémon they can potentially obtain in a Pokémon Black/White Nuzlocke?
Q3) Assume that the player encounters Pokémon regularly in tall grass only, and consider "area" to mean any location in which wild Pokémon can be caught. What is the probability that in a Nuzlocke of Pokémon Black 2 in the summer, the player catches no Normal-type Pokémon in the first four areas they access? (Don't count starter pokemon, round answer to 0 and four decimal spots, i.e. 0.2222)

Thanks to Cheese and Dylas for qcing! Sorry Gallant, I had it in my head that you did and didn't check. And congrats to all both who solved the hunt, and to all who participated! Sorry for the tough one, but I hope you enjoyed my nuzlocke hunt to some degree. Until next time!
