If you can decipher the text and figure out which picture each statement refers to, you will win 20k PD and a Dark Blue, Red, or Purple Key (your choice). If there was a collaboration, the PD will be split among the winners based on how much each of them did, and each winner will receive one Key.

EDIT, BECAUSE THIS WAS WAY TOO VAGUE:
Each statement refers to one of the three pictures below it. The third statement refers to the markings, which in turn represent three Pokémon, one of which (hopefully the most obvious one) is the answer. The rest are pictures of the Pokémon itself, not the markings.
You need to pick which of the three pictures under each statement is referenced in the statement.

We have to decipher every single one, right? Also, how many times can we guess?

You can guess the answers as many times as you need. ^^ But yes, you need to decipher all of the text. ^^

Awesome, another riddle contest! Just wish I could find a starting point beyond the single letter. XD So far nothing I've tried looked particularly promising.

Kyogre Pumpkaboo, please read the instructions rather than simply randomly posting your interpretations of the pictures.

You post them here. ^^ If you're right, you'll have won and nobody can copy you; if you're wrong, nobody will want to copy you. ^^

Okay then!


Shine with seven colors
Radiate a blazing aura
Spread joy
Cannot increase

Since you said that we had to guess which picture they correspond to, I'm assuming some of them are out of order.
The first line, "Shine with seven colors" obviously refers to the Ho-oh picture in the first set.
However, "Spread joy" probably refers to Shaymin in the first set, but I suppose it could also apply to the 2nd.
The only thing I can think of for the 3rd set is "Radiate a blazing aura" since the only patterns/marking I think those pictures apply to is Lucario's spike (the first one) and Riolu's little ovalish thing (the second one) on their arms, and it fits seeing as they're "Aura" Pokemon. /shot
The last picture set is probably "Cannot increase" since Diancie has some sort of increasing thing above it, and Diancie is a fairy-type, which would mean that it has an advantage over Latias/Latios and what I'm assuming is Giratina, seeing as the later bunch are dragon-types.

The first one is right.

The second one refers to one of the Pokémon in the second row. (Since I did a bad job of making them recognizable, I will say that they are Rayquaza, Zekrom, and White Kyurem. These were the first ones I did and came before I got used to making them recognizable.)

The third one refers to the patterns in the third row; each pattern corresponds to a Pokémon.

CANNOT INCREASE means it cannot access a greater form. (Hopefully this makes it clearer?) Diancie is incorrect; the thing above its head was one of the markings for the third question.

All of the translations were exactly right, though. ^^

The translations were the hardest part, so that counts for 50%; the Ho-Oh one is right, so that counts for 12.5%. If you do not successfully answer the remaining questions, you will get 62.5% of the PD and one of the Keys, and whoever does get them right gets another one of the Keys and the rest of the PD, because they would have built off of your answers and you therefore did 62.5% of the work.
Please tell me this makes sense.

Okay, that plus the edit in the first post, this makes a lot more sense. XD
The blazing aura is referring to White Kyurem
"Spread joy"... I'm still not 100% sure on this, but after checking and rechecking the Pokedex, I believe that the correct markings are the first ones, belonging to the Togepi evolution line. (Although I still have no clue on the other two.)
The last one, I'm not totally sure on either, because all have multiple forms. But I'm pretty sure that it's Giratina, because although it has an alternate form, it doesn't mega evolve like Diancie or the Latis.

You are exactly right on all of them! ^^ Amazing job!

(The other two were supposed to be Umbreon and Grimer, but they aren't recognizable, so it's a good thing they weren't the answers, or nobody would ever have gotten it. o.o)

Great job! Which Key would you like? ^^
