XD Oh, I feel like I've either worded this riddle horribly or trolled you excellently. Points for coming up with the MagiVenoOddish portmanteau (I smell a ship somewhere in there).

I have one already, but I have two mons who evolve by Moon Stone - my Munna and Nidoran-F (well, once she evolves to Nidorina first to be accurate).

I'm the lowest form of the only Pokémon family common to all these areas: The vast expanses, where trainers flock to search for rarities, the magnificent, northern lair of a crew with evil machinations, an island forest where colourful and tasty treats bloom and where little girls become lost, a deep forest with a shrine to its time-travelling guardian, and a seaside path that makes its way through wildly growing trees and plants.
Which becomes:
  1. the vast expanses, where trainers flock to search for rarities
  2. the magnificent northern lair of a crew with evil machinations
  3. an island forest where colorful and tasty treats bloom and where little girls become lost
  4. a deep forest with a shrine to its time-travelling guardian
  5. a seaside path that makes its way through wildly growing trees and plants
#3 has to be the forest on Kin Island.
#4 has to be the Ilex Forest.
#5 has to be the Sinnoh route identified (223 iirc) because the text is word-for-word lifted straight from its description text.

If any of these is wrong because some other entity was eligible, then I'd say the clues failed me for their imprecision. If all three of these are correct, however, then there really isn't much wiggle room for you to be thinking you've grandly trolled me. ^^; The list narrows down to like six entries here, so even if the three I've narrowed it down to are all wrong, that leaves only three more.

And didn't you soft-confirm that Clue #1 was referring to the Safari Zone(s)? In which case my list of three should be 100% correct.

I believe the confirmed route was 229, but yes. But I'm loving the difficulty you've had working out the lair. It was actually stated by someone outright earlier, but I don't believe anyone addressed, despite the fact that it would've narrowed it down to the correct Pokémon for you right there ^^

Everyone's offered a guess, so there are like five or more possibilities. >_>
  • Pokémon Ranger
  • either Pokémon Colosseum or XD (I'd have to check which)
  • Pokémon BW
  • Pokémon RSE
  • one of the manga series
There are just too many instances of lairs to the north, and who knows what you mean by "magnificent". The only one in my mind that that fits would be the castle in BW, but there're no wild Pokémon there at all. I haven't played Ranger or XD and I haven't read any of the manga series, so if those have castles I wouldn't know. Can try looking into it later.

In that case, yeah, my fault for wording it badly. My suggestion would be Google Imaging it I suppose.

Not only does a Google Image search for (no quotes) "pokemon magnificent lair to the north" not indicate the correct answer, it features the April 2013 spoiler for Gen 6. ^^; [/sad trombone]

Yeah, dunno what you typed into Google but all the variants I try on your clue while keeping your choice of words isn't turning up any Pokémon criminal organization lairs. In case it matters, iOS on iPhone @ Safari.

I meant Googling the different lairs... Whoops...

What about the

TR lair at Mahogany Town. There was Koffing and Voltorb there. Or maybe even the Lake or Rage?

Yeah, somebody else mentioned the Lake of Rage, in which case it couldn't be anything other than Magikarp.

The town itself has no wild Pokémon though. If the clue's to be the Lake of Rage, shouldn't the focus be on the lake (famous for its red Gyarados and rain) and not on any "lair" that isn't even there? Also, I'd hardly call a sterile underground lair built beneath a shanty "magnificent". Would you? Then again, I already said how I wouldn't call half the lairs magnificent, so ....

If we go for the Lake of Rage, it's still not narrowed down. The lake has both Magikarp (lake water) and Venonat (lakeside trees in HGSS). And both of these are in the Safari Zone, so if that's Clue #1, then I politely call bullshit. You can't have all those clues pointing to two different Pokémon. Something's gotta rule one of them out. And since I'm willing to give SoS the benefit of the doubt, that has to mean that either the Safari Zone or else the Lake of Rage is wrong.

Cerulean Cave is a magnificent northern lair associated with a crew with evil machinations, but it doesn't narrow it down at all.

Part 5 that refers to Sinnoh Rt 229... Gloom is there in Diamond and Pearl and not Platinum. Could that be a factor?

Venonat's only in Ilex Forest in Crystal, if I remember right, so I doubt that's the factor.

I already confirmed the Safari Zone was correct. So yes, the Lake of Rage is indeed very wrong.

And no jj, it isn't a factor.

The only person who could answer this is SoS. It's not clear whether he's going with 1) original game only, 2) newest version of the game only, or 3) all versions of the game.

I mean, I'm feeling pretty comfortable with Magikarp. Nothing anyone's presented has ruled him out yet iirc, whereas the others are on the chopping block constantly for one interpretative reason or another. If it's not Magikarp, we just try again. It's not like he's trolled me with OnixStunfiskCottonee or something. They're all common, they're all popular (Venonat least so but still?), so if my guess is wrong, I get my Pokémon back and I put 'im up for sale.

If either one's wrong, just know that I'd be interested in them~

Magikarp would be a very big sell methinks. I'd certainly be interested in a Venonat.

For the record, Itzatrap just hatched a Venonat. You could probably just ask him to borrow it in order to eliminate that option. :P

He placed it in a custom PokéBall. I very much doubt he intends to trade it away and then adopt it back.

I'm kind of hoping he's not going to prove to be too huge of a sell, simply because if he does then that means I'm kinda SOL trying to get my hands on one for cheap. ^_^;

I will laugh though if Magikarp ends up being confirmed as one of my shard quest targets, and if more and more of the newer shard quest targets also end up being Water types. Trying to nudge us into hatching more Water Glacier Eggs, staff? ;p Well, it won't work -- it's still more cost-effective for most of us to just purchase a new shard and request an additional shard quest. ^_^; I mean, you can't make them all Water quests ... you wouldn't dare ¬_¬; ... please don't. ;_;
