2nd place: Rory Mercury [05:24]
3rd place: CloudyNatu [09:02]
4th place: Devoxys [09:35]
5th place: LCWCY2 [10:48]
Consolation Prize: c.kilgannon [12:20], WhirlwindBulbasaur [12:47], Andrew [12:55], Emboar02 [13:52], Sombres9 [18:18], Dan_Hood [18:53], Meicoo [22:00]

Q1: In the first game where Blaine has an overworld sprite with a visible cane, name both Pokemon used on their team(s) that can use a move that it is weak to (alphabetical).
Q2: This is the only gym leader who awards a badge that shares its name with the category of a Pokemon they use in their initial match.
Q3: Viola received two objects from these two different NPCs which can be seen in her overworld and VS Sprite (alphabetical).
Q4: Name all gym leaders in Generation III that are replaced with a different gym leader in at least one different generation (alphabetical).

Answers + Explanations

Q1: Arcanine Magmortar
Not FRLG, that's a battle sprite, but B2W2. Uses Arcanine and Magmortar that can use Bulldoze and Rock Slide, respectively.
Q2: Wulfric
Iceberg Badge. Uses Avalugg (Iceberg Pokemon).
Q3: Alexa Valerie
Alexa gives her the camera and Valerie gives the barrette as birthday presents.
Q4: Giovanni Juan Koga
Difficult one. Koga is the gym leader of Fuchsia City in Gen III (and I) but Janine is the leader in Gen II and IV, therefore Koga will be one of our answers. Same case for Giovanni, same generations as Koga, but replaced by Blue in Gen II and IV. Juan is a harder one: Juan is the gym leader of Sootopolis in Gen III (Emerald), yet Wallace is also the leader in other Gen III games (Ruby + Sapphire). However, Juan is 'replaced' by Wallace in Gen VI (ORAS), therefore Juan is our last answer.
