It’s another guild feature (surprise, surprise)…
The Pokémon Crossword Challenge!
This feature is fairly self-explanatory… A Pokémon-themed crossword will be posted in the guild. All you have to do is use the clues to complete the crossword. The first one to submit the correct answers will receive prizes, like battle items or 5IV Pokémon.
Below is the first
Pokémon Crossword Challenge. The crossword contains 26 words, with the clues listed below. Unfortunately, there is no way to fill out the crossword itself, so there are a couple of options:
Option one is to simply list your answers in order.
ex:
1. Answer 1
2. Answer 2
3. Answer 3
etc.
Option two is to print out the crossword, physically fill it out, take a picture of the completed crossword, and then put that picture in your PM to me (WhyBuffet).
Option three is to copy the crossword onto your computer’s paint program, fill it out there, then save it and put it in your PM to me (WhyBuffet).
The first person to submit the correctly completed crossword will receive credit towards one of the new "5IV badge Pokémon" thattowardseen recently introduced to the guild.

EDIT: It has been brought to my attention that one of the clues (12 down) has more than one possible answer. I thought that because crosswords are inherently self-correcting, this issue would hardly come up, if at all. What I have decided is that if a clue has two or more possible answers that seem to fit into the puzzle, you are free to use whichever you prefer, given they follow the following 2 criteria:
1) Any letters that overlap into another word must be correct
2) The word must fit the criteria of the clue
I might as well use the word in this puzzle as an example. 12 down is "one of Team Flare's scientists," with the 2nd and 6th letters being used for other words. Xerosic and Celosia are both Team Flare scientists, and the 2nd and 6th letters in their names are the same ('e' and 'i' respectively) therefore you are free to choose
either as your answer.
EDIT 2: It has also been brought to my attention that there is a spelling error in the puzzle. 2 down should be "Tranquill" but the spaces provided only allow for "Tranquil." That's my bad.
