NO, YOU DON'T RESTART. Non-alphanumeric characters do not lead to a restart, you simply use the last letter that came before them. The rules say nothing about a Pokemon starting and ending in the same letter restarting the game, either.
Your 'Eeveelution Challenge' is not part of the game, and cheating to win something that isn't even in the game is just plain sad. I cannot believe I have to put my goddamn admin hat on not once but TWICE On this game. What is WRONG with you, people.
Either way. Continuing from Nidoran...
