Hello, and welcome to One of These Things is Not Like the Other! This game is based off of the classic, easy, game from the children's show Sesame Street, but with an added twist. It has been changed to be based off of Pokémon, and the difficulty has moved up a notch.
This game is very similar to PMJ's old game, Pokémon Links. The object of the game is to identify which Pokémon, Item, Move or character does not belong in a list of 4. Three will have something in common, and one will stand out on its own.
For example, if the list was comprised of Dragonair, Bagon, Dratini and Dragonite, the answer would be that Dragonite is the only fully evolved Pokémon in the list. However, it would also be acceptable to say that Dragonite is the only Pokémon in the list that is not a pure Dragon-type.
In addition, an answer such as "Bagon is the only Pokémon that does not evolve into another Pokémon in the list" would be accepted.
As for the rules, I suppose I'll quote PMJ on this (with some slight edits):
You get 1 point if your guess is correct, and 3 points if your guess is the "odd one out" I had in mind.
Previous Lists:
-Elekid
-Electabuzz
-Zapdos
-Chinchou
(Chinchou was the Odd One Out, and The Big Reason was that Elekid, Electabuzz and Zapdos all shared a species name, while Chinchou did not have that species name.)
-Porygon
-Chansey
-Roselia
-Stantler
(Stantler was the Odd One Out, and The Big Reason was that the others started out with no evolutions, but then received two evos/prevos.)
-Venusaur
-Bayleef
-Grotle
-Lotad
(Lotad was the Odd One Out, as it was the only one not to have the Overgrow ability.)
-Spinda
-Kadabra
-Mr. Mime
-Drowzee
(Spinda was the only one in an additional egg group to the humanshape group.)

PMJ said:- Keep guessing! If there are 3 guesses that haven't been verified, and the first one is the right guess, the other two will still get points awarded if they are correct.
- For the purposes of this game, the only move Smeargle can learn is Sketch.
- Event moves (such as Flare Blitz on Entei) count.
- The right guess is not always in your face. It's likely going to be fairly obscure.
- Consider EVERYTHING. Nothing is off limits; you might find that 5 Pokemon are linked by the amount of Egg Moves they have, body features (specific features only - "they all have eyes" does not count) or where you can find them in-game.
- Links will be restricted to 4th gen games only - that is, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver. No TCG sets or any past and/or spinoff games will be used.
- Being able to/Not being able to learn TM moves or move tutor moves will never be a link. This is because numerous Pokemon can learn all sorts of TMs (including Toxic). It's too vague of a link, and in the event the five Pokemon are all the same type (or can learn the same type of TMs), there will be an enormous amount of "all can learn SolarBeam," "all can learn Leech Seed," etc.
- ONLY ONE GUESS IN BETWEEN UPDATES!
That said, level up moves and egg moves are valid links.
You get 1 point if your guess is correct, and 3 points if your guess is the "odd one out" I had in mind.
