[me] Hey guys, I just thought I'd share my thoughts before I make my final submission to vom to try and save Lilligant. [Even if I'm wrong, Lilligant lives and Gallade dies, so you guys have another round to try and save her and yourselves.]
- Lilligant and Brooks[Blastoise] are innocent. The murders are too unrandom to be NPC's, and the murderer is being obvious about this. There's no way it's coincidental that every Pokémon since Vileplume to die is an NPC [Vileplume isn't an NPC, it's just there]. In fact, Lilligant and Brooks are in the most danger by far.
- Electivire was driving the train. I guess, In theory, he COULD be running around killing Pokémon by placing enough coal, but I don't think he could. That's just me. Also, I don't think bbninjas, someone who has been in every convicted game, would make such an obvious motive.
- We were Following Togepi's perspective when Oyuki was killed, he's clear.
- Scizor is out, so is Gardevoir, due to Scizor's little memory incident in chapter 3 and seir saying that the Klinklang was killed 15 minutes from Lilligant finding it. As such, neither of these could have murdered everyone.
- Meowstic has made no appearance since Chapter 1. None at all. This may just be because of a different writer, but Slowpoke and Leavanny both made plenty of apperances.
- Seir doesn't seem like the murderer anymore. While he could have easily murdered Vileplume and Klinklang, his natural heat [being a fire-type] and Fire moves prevents him from Murdering Glaceon as well as leaving the whole room as
and Seir would be almost incapable of sneaking past Gardevoir to obtain the Rosemary. He also lacks hands.
- Empoleon, who is currently in the spotlight, actually is my best guess for the Murderer... if it wasn't for the fact that I accused him and didn't die because I accused the murderer. Yeah, this is kind of cheating the system. :/
- Following the logic above, neither Hedron nor Gallade are the murderer, either.
- Nidoking is an interesting one. He seems a bit slow and bulky, which renders the question of how he could have got past Gardevoir and Scizor. But at the same time, he has a lot of money, so maybe he could have bought the Rosemary off of Scizor and/or Gardevoir [most likely Gardevoir, based on Scizor's reaction] and then bribed him/her not to tell. It's a stretch, but it's a marginally workable one. The rest of them are fairly simple: Brute Force through Vileplume and Gears, but Oyuki and the vast array of Ice spikes without any broken Ice spikes, combined with Nidoking's Bulkier body, it would make it difficult to impossible for him to get throught the ice spikes close enough to kill her.
- If Nidoking is bulky, Aulus is massive. There's almost no way Aulus could have gotten through the ice spikes or move past Scizor and Gardevoir without being spotted/sensed. Also, Aulus has no hands of which to get the rosemary.
So my best guesses are Meowstic, Nidoking, and maybe Electivire. If I die,
@Vracken and
@Celever, please try to keep Lilligant safe. [I know I can still talk for her, but I can't accuse... wait, can I? @Vom?]
