[Eminegg]

Worst hunt ever, seriously. How appropriate would be an answer like "ashandhisfriends".

Bulbapedia's Statement Paragraph - Answer 3 was taken from this

Interestingly, Ash and his friends, through their interaction with history in Arceus and the Jewel of Life, seemingly invented the term "Pokémon" to refer to these creatures. This, however, creates an ontological paradox, as their knowledge and use of the word comes only from its wide use in their future time. What may remain true is that the term came into practice elsewhere on its own.

Note that "What may remain true is that the term came into practice elsewhere on its own."...

Let's not put complaints about hunts within this thread. Pm the ROs or the maker of the hunt with the problems, and they will decide on point accumulation for the faulty hunt and such.

They do say it's they're the first in a chronological order to use the word, thus technically invented it. Also they literally said they did and I asked "according to bulbapedia".

Omit whatever is included in the bold + red format as it is un-necessary and obsolete.

Also, all the mis-namings are as follows: "Biff", "Bill", "Buffy", "Bob", "Hutch", "Butcher", "Patch", "Botch", "Chuck", "Mitch", "Footch" or "Hootch"
