07/01/2015

Winner: Gleeb
Second place: Catacomb
Third place: Mr. Uncompetitive
Consolation prize to: blackburn009, shadowscyther22, social netwerk, Mellow Jo,
Solution: DestinyTower SkyPeakStationPasses, Here Comes Team Rocket!, Flute of Fleura

Questions...
1) If Giratina enters these two dungeons, it will be in it’s Origin Forme instead of it’s Altered Forme (alphabetical order)(Use the names on Bulbapedia)
2) This was the first Japanese card to feature a Super Rare rarity.
3) Despite flute being in the title of this Pokemon song, it’s actually an ocarina playing it

There was a conflict between sky peak and sky peak station passes. I stuck with sky peak station passes because that's the name Bulbapedia uses in its page(http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Sky_Peak_Station_Passes). But after seeing what happened, I probably should have used sky peak. My bad. Also Bulbapedia didn't say anything about Eastern Jungle or Zero Isle Center, at least from what I saw so I didn't accept those.

Thanks to Instant Apple Pie for hosting.
