Happy Halloween my fellow Pokémon enthusiast. In the spirt of this holiday that celebrates the dead… I present you with a murder mystery. It is up to you the E4 community to discover whodunit and bring the killer or killers to justice. The suspects themselves do not know if they are the killer. I will be your host for the duration of the event. I will introduce the Scenario for each round and will be able to answer any general questions or provide guidance in playing the game.
How to play the Game
There are six rounds. Each round provides new clues to further the game play. You the community needs to ask questions to get more clues. Post the questions in this thread use @ to address a specific suspect or the clues that the suspect has dropped. At the end of Round 5 all players will be given an opportunity to solve the crime or crimes.
Round 1- Introductions
Round 2- The Search
Round 3 - The Discovery
Round 4- The Examination
Round 5 -The Final Clues
Whodunit Poll
Round 6- The Revelation/Confession
The winner of the game is the person whose accusation most closely matches the actual solution to the mystery revealed in Round 6
The mystery begins now! The Game is Afoot! Good Luck!
The Scenario:
One year ago, Professor Oak attended Collect-A- Con. Six months later he was dead- leaving no trace as to the location of his prized Pokémon card collection. On a summer evening during the Pokémon World Championships, SmPratte invited some people to a special E4 gathering. Perhaps someone had heard something? Perhaps someone knew something about Professor Oak’s death? Perhaps one of them was a cold-blooded killer.
@Dyl
A SGC Grader from NY who arrived unannounced with plans to buy Pratt’s collection and cross it over, putting SGC over the top as the best Pokémon grading company. He was willing to obtain the collection at any cost.
@Stagecoach
After suffering a nervous breakdown, the well known Poké-tuber decided to attend the Pokémon World Championship to be distracted from reality and relax. … but his suite was next door to Smpratte and those other E4 nerds instead.
@Will
A young Crypto investor that wandered into Collect-A-Con last year just as Professor Oak was showing off some of his prized Pokémon cards. Smpratte took a liking to him and encouraged him to join E4 and be involved with the Pokémon community. He has been an active member ever since. Moderating the community among other things.

@brendantheclayboy
A Pokémon Distributor from NJ married to Grandma. Brendan once had a complete collection of all Wizards of the Coast cards, but he gave them all to Goodwill when Grandma moved in. Grandma tore up his World’s Promos the night they were married. She could not stand the sight of them. He has been trying to salvage his marriage and find a new collection by traveling as close to every Pokémon venue he could find.

Which of these people has a secret worth killing for?
