IT'S RIDDLE TIME! I Seriously Need Help With This

Link to original post: [drupal=2211]IT'S RIDDLE TIME! I Seriously Need Help With This[/drupal]



So. I've come here because I need help. The problem I have is this: Someone (I have no idea who) has created a Facebook account for me, with my actual name, address, etc., and he has also done this for two other people I know. This is obviously very annoying, and has become a problem not only because people think it's actually me (I don't have my own Facebook), but also because he goes around posting obscene things on the walls of people I know.

Now here's where all of you come in. Yesterday, one of the accounts posted a challenge. It is as follows:


"I issue you a challenge because I understand you want to get rid of my 3 accounts. I have changed the password on this account to one that I will give you clues to guess. If you guess it, the account is yours and I will do the same on one of my other accounts. The next status will contain these clues"

And here's the next post:

"The password is 14 characters long and is comprised of a name (of a ficticious character or real life person, properly capitalized) and a number. The series of 12 items (separated by commas) are your clues: GBC Charizard, Lavaridge, Drought, Warden Gold, Hitmonlee not on drugs, Blaziken Lilycove, Wailord, Tangela not Corsola, that is, reallife Relicanth, Belly Drink, Centerville High School"

I so far have not gotten anywhere with this, and was hoping that maybe Sherlock von Karma and the other brilliant minds here would be able to help me solve this thing.

I will edit this post with new findings/theories as you/I discover them.

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps out.

EDIT: You probably think he won't actually give us the password or something like that, but it's the best shot I have. And it'll test your intelligence :)

I have no intention of seriously helping you but I feel the need to mention that the idea of someone doing this is hilarious.

Notify the authorities and let them ip track the account and pound the little ******* into the ground for identity theft or something.

Then you'll know who it was and you can laugh at them as they sit in court.

Hacker, maybe?
Is this real, or is it time for some Koth busting? :ohwell:
I'm sorry, I'm just skeptical, but I'll do as much as I can to try to help you out. This riddle is good. :)

Do what Teran said. Like, the actual authorities. This is serious.

People at my old high school used to do this all the time.


He's not going to give you the password. Why would he?
He's just wasting your time.

Ignore it and he'll get bored eventually.

We tried the IP thing, but proxies. And we have a hacker on our side, he couldn't figure anything out, and he's good.

I don't think it's serious enough for that.


You're ****ed.
Thanks for the help.

If you can't help why post?

Because if he is who I suspect he is, he's a f***ing genius and enjoys these "games". And we have been ignoring him, at least till now. I think it might be his way of giving in.

Is there anyone in particular at your school or whatever that'd have an axe to grind with you?

I started Googling the clues, and there are 6 Centerville High School's in the U.S.

Thus, I said you're ****ed.

But considering this person knows Denzi, I'm guessing there's one in OH?

Yep, there's one in OH. Anyway, Denzi, can you link us to the Facebook in question?

No, but I think I know someone who'd get enjoyment out of this. And he's a /b/tard (to give you an idea of the sort of things he posts)

Ah, okay then.

I would, but the whole name thing...

I don't exactly want to make all my friends known to all of you.

Why would you want the link?

Even if it were a big game or whatever and you managed to get the correct answer, he wouldn't give you the password.

Don't waste your time.

Just go see the guy in real life and punch him.

And if he isn't who you're searching for, just punch him again for being a /b/tard.

He's not "giving" us the password, he already changed the password. We just have to get it right and use it to take the account for ourselves. The guy would do that, trust me.

I figured as much Teran.

I already have, he's a pretty strong guy (read: he can take it), and he has an iron will. He won't give us anything unless we figure it out ourselves.

Most of the clues seem to have something to do with Pokemon.

I've noticed. The only one I've been able to get anywhere with is "Hitmonlee not on drugs". I figured drugs = high and high = hi jump kick, but I didn't know where to go from there.

Well you can notify the police of your reasons for suspicion and they might be able to do something about it?

Well say someone is posing under your identity.

Tell them how the specific site 4chan is well known for doing things like this, along with being involved with countless cyber crimes and general obscene content.

Tell the officers they have a cult following of users, and tbh, they've probably heard of it one or two of them. Tell them this and they might be able to try something. =/

I dunno if you ask me talking about identity theft trolling and having a /b/tard that wants to annoy you fits like a hand in a glove. =/

Some of the clues seem to be refrencing certain moves in Pokemon. Maybe we match the moves with certain Pokés that can learn them? (Example: Hi Jump Kick + Blaziken?)

How does that give us "a name of a person or character real or ficticious and a number"?

I just don't know where to go with it.

Hitmonlee not on drugs would be http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Low_Kick

real life relicanth is the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coelacanth

GBC Charizard... In Silver/Gold/Platinum you couldn't get a charizard without trading, So I don't get it.

Drought is Groudon's unique ability.

Lavaridge and Lilycove are both Hoenn Cities, but I dont get the lilycove to Blaziken thing

Warden's Gold Teeth is an item you need in FireRed/LeafGreen(R/B too?) to get the Strength HM

stuff

I'm really in no state to crack this riddle right now. :/

7am ftl.

Relicanth is an ancient unchanged fish though, so what would irl Relicanth be?

Hmm. The Move Deleter is in Lilycove. So does that possibly mean Blaziken needs to have... a move deleted?

I'm grasping at straws now.

I know all that stuff, just not where to go with it to find a password. And there are other kicks that aren't HJK, but I too thought that the opposite would be most likely.

Same here (2am)
Other than Kr3wman's guess, I have no clue.

There's Double Kick, Rolling Kick, Jump Kick, Hi Jump Kick, Mega Kick.
For Hitmonlee that is.

Has to be something super dumb or super complicated.

It's never fun and challenging.

It definitely means the fish called the Coelacanth. (sorry if the spelling is wrong.) its what Relicanth is based off lol. Its descrption in my encyclopedia is An ancient fsih that has survived the time of the dinosaurs, AKA a living fossil. sounds like the Pokedex term for relicanth no?

as for the others, i havent played Pokemon in years.....

GBC Charizard = Game Boy Color Charizard = Red, Yellow, Blue, Gold, Silver, Crystal (possibilities) - Charizard was the cover to Red - therefore the answer may very well be "Red". Then again - it could be "6" (his number in GBC, IIRC)

Lavaridge = A town http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Lavaridge_Town IRL is probably based off of Aso City. Aso may be what you are looking for.

Drought = Groudon is the only Pokemon to learn this. Groudon is probably the clue ( http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Drought_(ability) )

Warden ...Gold = You give a guy named Warden his Gold Teeth and he gives you Strength (HM-04) so STRENGTH is probably the clue.

Hitmonlee not on drugs = I would assume Low Kick as well.

Blaziken Lilycove = Blaziken was (IIRC) the easiest way to win in the Beauty Contest. It was also where you bought Fire Blast for him (again, IIRC) so I think it is one of those two?

Wailord = I cannot think of anything for this, so here is his Bulbapedia:
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Wailord_(Pokémon)

Maybe it's just whale? lol

Tangela not Corsola = no idea again

that is = how is this a clue? :( (EDIT: lol. Post above me seems to get it. :) )

reallife Relicanth = It was given earlier. I'm pretty confidant that is correct.

Belly Drink = Closest I could think of/find was Belly Drum: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Belly_Drum_(move) I was thinking a Water Type Pokemon that learns it?

Centerville High School = Centerville High School could stand for CHS which were CRITICAL HITS in Pokemon. (Heres my google search: http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS336&=&q=pokemon+CHS&btnG=Google+Search )

I'm thinking almost an acronym. GBC Charizard gives us "r" (according to my assumption) so in order we'd have:

"r" "a" "g" "s" "l" "b/f" "w" "c" + w/e else I couldn't take a guess at

But then we'd have to help what I missed were vowels. xD

Question: Do you know what e-mail account this account is linked to?

My friends and I have done this to a kid that pissed us off. We reseted the email account (lost/forgotten password). This prompts a security question to reset the password. The question was "your fav sport team." We used the kids FB account to learn that he like the red soxs... And we got his email. We then reseted his FB account and changed his pw. It's a simple idea, but it worked for us...

Another question: do you know where suspected person lives? If you do, you should find some way to put keylogger on his comp. I did this a bunch of times with my friends to find their pw. I also found out my room mate was using my comp to check his e-mail, since his comp had a virus o_O

Personally, I think it'd be a lil helpful to link us to the account.

You can breed to get Triple Kick I think =/
Nope, Triple Kick is exclusive to Hitmontop.
And this riddle makes zero to no sense, and the entire thing could be completely misleading and wrong anyways. It's a lost cause =/.
