I voted Frontier Brain. Because after I thought about it, the Frontier Brains can run into tight spots, but when they do they always come through. So that actually sounds fitting. ;]
 
I think frontier brain might confuse some people. Usually titles like that are used to suggest something to do with the video game. Often sites have video game leagues where you would have to beat Frontier brains or Gym leaders and I just don't want to be confused with that.
 
Puzzle Master.

You mastered all puzzles, so you're the Puzzle Master.
 
Why puzzle master,,, it's too simple, we need something rarely used like decipher
 
Puzzle master is an easy and a cool title. Frontier brain is to Pokemon orientated and what we did didn't have much to do with Pokemon. The puzzles just used Pokemon but really we didn't do some crazy Pokemon Feat.

Decipher master sounds lame if something better was introduced then maybe. King of riddles or something would be sweet too :p
 
Enigma Examiner is what i vote for.

For those that do not read comic books, DC Super villain - The Riddler's real name is Edward Nigma (E.nigma - get it?) so being as the riddles matched up with something the The Riddler would do, i vote for Enigma Examiner for the title.

Click to expand...
I do like the Enigma Examiner title... but I always thought it would be cool to be a Frontier Brain so that is why I voted for it. If there is a tie I will switch mine to it!
 
I voted for Frontier Brain as well. I'm aware that it's more vid game related and not really related to the TCG, but still it seems cool.

I didn't vote for either of my suggestions as I didn't think they'd really be considered (lolz).

@The Dark Toxicroak

I have to agree with wally that as long as its not too simple, I'm cool with anything....that being said - Puzzle master my be cool, but I keep thinking of the yugioh vid games where you solve the duel puzzles (similar to what we just did)....so it could be vid game related as well.....food for thought?

overall I really don't much care what we get, cause we get a nifty special title!
 
I'm hearing from the higher ups that whichever title that wins is probably going to have to be followed by the word 'winner', just so people don't think these people are staff members.

So it'd be 'Frontier Brain Winner' or 'Puzzle Master Winner'.

I'll update you guys if anything else changes.
 
I voted Fronteir Brain. My second choice is Puzzle Master. But in all seriousness, I really don't care because Im excited just to have a title at all! :)
 
Q)How many ears does Spock Have?
A) Three.. a left ear, a right ear and space the final frontier.

err maybe I'm in the wrong thread LOL

I went for the obvious and clear description of Puzzle Master. I can just hear Bart Simpson laughing at anyone being called Frontier Brain... err drat I mean Team Rocket laughing... :D
 
Dang, I forgot to enter my submissions. <-- Is a noob.

Oh well, grats to all the winners who did get them right!
 
Congrats to all the winners.

I voted for Frontier Brain because it goes with Pokemon and makes it seem like they have an adventurous mind that can deal with complicated things.
 
I said Frontier Brain as well, Riddle Resolver was a close 2nd.
 
I chose Frontier Brain as well. Its simple, identifiable, and sounds impressive lol.

Great contest, Prime!!! Those puzzles were very fun!!!
 
I wonder what EeveeLover's "other" would be....??
 
My thoughts on Frontier Brain:

Frontier Brain is all good for the present when it relates to Pokemon and everyone understands its relation. How about in a year or two when all the SP Pokemon are phased out? It will be a title that cause confusion and your inbox will be so full of irritating "What does that mean?" ALL the time, you will likely miss messages. I think you may want to reconsider that one. Just my opinion.
