Without Looking It Up (game)

You are too kind! I did find a loop hole though. I have to copy the red "X", and paste into Word. Somehow the computer is fine with that :mellow:

 

 

Are all those 5 from recent series?

Is legendary a category?

Dragon! And ....

 

The five you missed were all in gen 2 (gold, silver, etc) and on .

 

Edit: to further give you a hint, of the five you missed, Dragon was one of them. So you are missing 4 now. 1 of them was not in the original games, and the other 3 were.

 

Gah! We're editting our posts at the same time. With your addition of steel and sand you've officially gotten one wrong. Sand is not a type. Steel was though. That means you're missing 3, all from the original games and on.

Yes. Given Sand should be Ground, which you had originally, you are correct. For those not able to follow the mess of posts that is all that, the answer is:

 

Fire

Water

Grass

Electric

Flying

Fighting

Bug

Ground

Rock

Ice

Poison

Dragon

Normal

Ghost

Psychic

Dark

Steel

Fairy

So what context do you use this in?

 

When you're trying to explain something, usually. It is essentially the answer to the question "Why?" regardless of context.

 

Example:

 

Why is the sky blue?

Aliens.

 

Why do sirens sound louder when approaching than when leaving?

Aliens.

 

Why are fake sugars no more healthy for you than actual sugar?

Aliens.

Ah!  You beat me to it!  I watch LOL with my husband all the time and have gotten quite good at naming champions.  Here's twelve more, though you totally get to pose the next question, Smurf!

 

12 Additional Champions: Thresh, Ahri, Lulu, Rumble, Nidali (sp?), Calista, Graves, Corki (sp?), Janna, Gnar (my cute, sweet, Gnar!), Jarvis, Zed.  (I'm not certain of spellings only because I haven't seen them all in print.)

(Hades/Pluto isn't considered one of the Twelve because his realm is the Underworld. Plus, that's only eleven)

 

Asgard

Middle Earth/ Midgard

Jotunheim

Alfheim

Vana-something-heim (the one that farmers and craftsmen go to)

Svartheim

Niflheim (something like that, world of ice)

World of Fire (total mind blank)

Hel (is there a heim with that?)

Huh. Well I'm embarrassed twice over now. :mellow:

 

Ares / Mars was one of the Twelve, right? As was... as was....

 

OK, I give up. And I know after I look it up I'm going to be embarrassed for forgetting. With that in mind, I'm looking it up... aaaand it's Dionysus / Bacchus. I don't know how I forgot him. <_<

 

What's the penalty I need to pay?

Is that enough?

 

In the original post, I wrote that if somebody was wrong, their punishment was that they had to post a funny picture in the thread.  I think you accidentally paid your dues and did your sentence.  You are a champion.

 

Edit: Pifferdoo, the one you're missing is called something like Nedaveldier.  I don't know how it's spelled because the only place I know it from is Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

I know I'm missing the world of fire that complements the world of ice, which might be Nedavheim or something (I spell them the Norwegian way because I live in Minnesota and that's how I was taught it)

 

EDIT: Is it my turn to give a list?
