S

[dad90]

The letter that most Pokemon begin with throughout all generations is the letter S!

S
P
M

(Audience Applause)

33 Pokemon begin with the letter S, more than any other letter.



Immanuel gets a spin and goes to 2, Nels gets a big 3 spins and goes to 4, and Matt gets a spin and goes to 2.

Third question coming up.

Question #3: Now, believe it or not, one lucky Pokemon made a somewhat cameo appearance on the action-packed Cartoon Network series called "The Powerpuff Girls." Which Pokemon appeared on a wristwatch in one episode of "The Powerpuff Girls"?

PM me your buzzcodes now.

[dad90]

Immanuel - No Buzzcode
Nels - 43
Matt - 0

Magic #: --



(Buzz-In!)

Nels, you buzzed in due to Immanuel not submitting his buzzcode on time, and Matt passing. What's your answer?

[babytims]

(Dayo, check my vacation thread, I'm not on much this weekend)

[dad90]

Acknowledged. I will either hold off or add an extra question since I just looked at it.

[nelson21]

Me mime

[dad90]

Is the correct answer:

ME MIME
PIKACHU
JIGGLYPUFF

Immanuel and Matt, you may answer now.

[mringgenberg]

Me Mime

[babytims]

Me mime

[dad90]

Unfortunately, Oscar, you're right as all 3 of you are wrong in this case. It's actually the singing pink ball Pokemon, Jigglypuff.

ME MIME
PIKACHU
JIGGLYPUFF

(Audience Groans)

An odd rendition of Jigglypuff was featured on The Mayor's wristwatch. It's an appropriate cameo, considering the appearance of the main characters. {}



As a result, no one will get any spins for that one. That's the bad news. The good news is that since I didn't notice that Immanuel was going to be off this weekend, I'm going to throw one extra question to make things fair for everyone.

(Audience Applause)

So, if you are all ready, here's the extra question.

EXTRA: Kabutops gets its name from what?

PM me your buzzcodes now.

[dad90]

Immanuel - Pass
Nels - 71
Matt - 0

Magic #: --



(Buzz-In!)

Nels, you buzzed in due to Immanuel and Matt passing. What's your answer?

[nelson21]

Horseshoe crab

[dad90]

Is the correct answer:

HORSESHOE CRAB
A JAPANESE WAR HELMET
A POPULAR DANCE

Immanuel and Matt, you may answer now.

[mringgenberg]

A Popular Dance

[babytims]

A Japanese War Helmet

[dad90]

Everyone has chosen a different answer this time, and Immanuel...you are the one who got it right. It is a Japanese War Helmet.

HORSESHOE CRAB
A JAPANESE WAR HELMET
A POPULAR DANCE

(Audience Applause)

A kabuto is a Japanese war helmet. The Pokemon was so named for its hard outer shell which protects it in the same way.



And Immanuel gets a spin out of that and goes to 3.

(Ding)

And now, gentlemen, regardless of what happens, this is going to be the last regular question of this game before we go to the Big Spin Bonus Question. Here we go.

Question #4: Earlier, we've learned that Gyarados was modeled after a legendary sea monster known as the Kraken. Now, can you tell me which Pokemon character is named after a legendary Germanic sea siren whose beautiful song lured sailors to their deaths?

PM me your buzzcodes now.

[dad90]

Immanuel - Pass
Nels - 44
Matt - 0

Magic #: --



(Buzz-In!)

Nels, you buzzed in due to Immanuel and Matt passing. What's your answer?

[nelson21]

Lorelei

[dad90]

Is the correct answer:

LORELEI
MARINA
ERIKA

Immanuel and Matt, you may answer now.

[mringgenberg]

Lorelei

[babytims]

Lorelei

[dad90]

Everyone has chosen Lorelei, and this time, all of you are right!

LORELEI
MARINA
ERIKA

(Audience Applause)

Lorelei (after the Siren of Germanic Legend who went by the same name) was probably named for her beauty and for her love of creatures like Dugongs, which belong to the Sirenia family and were often mistaken for mermaids by weary sailors.



Immanuel goes to 4, Nels goes to 7, and Matt goes to 3.

(Ding) (Ding) (Ding)

And now, ladies and gentlemen, and children of all ages; this is it. What I'm holding in my hand right now is the last question not only for this game, but also the very last question that will be asked here in the famous building of CBS Television City Studios, and it's none other than the Big Spin Bonus Question. As a reminder, it's a multiple-answer question and you have to get all parts of the answer correct in order to go to the Big Spin Board. This comes as a first-come, first-served basis, so no buzzcodes.

In this round, you can pick up at least 4 spins, and win as much as a whopping 10 spins or maybe even more. Be careful, though, because if you buzz-in and if even one of your answers is wrong, both of your opponents will each get 2 spins.

So, if you don't know it, don't buzz-in. And you have 24 hours to respond by the time the question is posted.

If you're ready, here's the Bonus Question.

BONUS: To close off our tribute to the Pokémon series that starred Ash Ketchum and Pikachu, let's go back to the very beginning; the very first episode, and it's a 3-parter.

1. What was the name of that episode?
2. What was the first Pokémon to appear in the animated series?
3. What other Pokémon was the first Pokémon battling against?

Your 24 hours starts now.

[dad90]

(Buzzer)

And time's up as no one wanted to try it. For those of you hardcore Pokémon fans who were playing at home with us, let's see if you got these questions right.

The very first episode of the animated series was called, "Pokémon! I Choose You!" The very first Pokémon to appear in that episode was actually Gengar, and it was battling against Nidorino from a simulation of a Pokemon Game Boy battle, which then transforms into a detailed battle scene. It was a great opening for the series.

Now 25 years later, Ash Ketchum and Pikachu and their friends will go on future adventures on meeting many more Pokemon, but they will now pass the torch onto a new generation of Pokemon trainers. Question is, will we see Team Rocket again in the future and pursue them? Or any other criminal organizations that we've seen in the past? Only time will tell at this point.



(Start at 00:44)



Well, that was the last question here at CBS Television City Studios in Hollywood, California and at the end of that Question Round, Immanuel will take 4 spins into the Final Round, Nels will have 7 spins to play with, and Matt, 3 spins.

And when we come back from this commercial break, there will be over $250,000 in cash and prizes on the Big Board looking for a home. Also, if one of our players has luck shining down on them, then that player could walk out of this very building with their lives forever changed with a colossal $20 Million payday! The big question is, "How can that be accomplished?" The answer to that question will be provided right after this! Don't go away!

(Audience Cheers and Applause) (Big Board Spinning)

DK: Welcome back to the 2023 edition of Press Your Luck, and this is it, players! This is our 2nd and final round of the final game here at CBS Television City Studios in Hollywood! And as promised, at the Big Board over there is loaded with over $250,000 in cash and prizes!







And as you can see, we got all sorts of cash, prizes and surprises, and one of them has got to be this!

Rich: It's a brand-new SUV!

(More Cheers and Applause)

DK: Oh yeah! Thank you, Rich! But players, even that is nothing compared to what you could win at this final round. Before the break, I told you that you have a potential of winning over $20 Million! How you do that? Well...



You must hit the HIT IT HERE! space twice. One worth $25,000, and the second one is $2500. Then, a special square called 10X Next Spin will appear.



And the square after that will be worth $1,000,000!



(Audience Cheers and Applause)

And last, but certainly not least, on the board right now, there is a special square called "Double Your $$ and a Spin", and if you do all of those, IN THAT EXACT ORDER, and you could potentially win over $20 Million!

(Wild Cheers and Applause)

Of course, the Whammies are determined not to let that happen! In fact, they want to steal all of your money while keeping their own big money safe. That's how greedy those little monsters are, and so far, they've done a pretty decent job at doing just that as the Whammy and his partner-in-crime Tammy and their minions are itching up and ready to steal even more and continue to put all of that into their Big Bank, which by the way, it's currently at...



BIG BANK: $9493
WHAMMY'S BANK: $846,795

$9,493, and it will continue to grow if you keep hitting those Whammies. This is where they usually do maximum destruction here, so don't take this board for granted. However, this is now your opportunity to get back at the Whammy by hitting the Big Bank square!



(BIG BANK!)

Once you hit that square, you will then have a 1-in-6 chance of Whammying the Whammy by finding 1 of the 3 Big Bank squares on our 18-square board.

Also available on our board is the Whammy's Bank. If you hit that, you'll get 1 Whammy token, as well as 1 extra spin and some cash between $1,000 and $10,000, and to move on to the next step of the Whammy's Bank, which currently stands at $846,795, you'll need 1 Silver Token.

And during the break, the producers have rolled a die to determine how many Whammy tokens you need to acquire the Silver token, and tonight, it's going to be a little tough, because you'll need 5 Whammy Tokens to acquire that Silver Token. And in the process, if you have any Whammies against you, you may get a chance to LOSE THEM ALL!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

And let's not forget about this; whoever wins this round wins the game, and if your total is less than $100,000, then you'll be able to play the Big Bad Bonus Board for a chance to win hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash. With all of that said, let's check the scores and find out who our winner is going to be...

Immanuel has $6450, Nels has nothing, and Matt has $5200. Immanuel, as promised, you are going to go last into this round since you've done well from the first round. That means that in this round, the player with the lowest amount of money goes first, and obviously, that's going to be Nels.

Nels, you have no money and 2 Whammies against you, but you have 7 lucky spins. Unfortunately, you had bad luck from the first round. Now, let's see if you can turn it all around in this round. The Big Board is in motion. Get those Big Bucks, and good luck to you!
