Why is it bothersome they changed the Game Corner? In my opinion, the slots have been dead since the first incarnation. It's not even real gambling at all.

[Weegee]

Once again, nobody would be complaining if the option of simply buying Coins were still available.

Slight dilemma: I've been trying to breed a Dunsparce which knows Bite, so I've paired it in the Day-Care with a male Ratatta. However, despite Ratatta knowing Bite, none of the hatched Dunsparce have the move upon hatching. What am I doing wrong?

[Turtlekid1]

Do the Dunsparce know four move on hatching?  If so, it may be that the four moves it does know are taking priority over bite.  If that's the case, make the Ratatta forget everything but Bite so that's the only move it could possibly pass along.

...this is all just a wild guess, though.  Sorry I can't be more help.

[Weegee]

Scratch that; the Dunsparce are now inheriting Bite. Thanks anyway, TK.

I know how to play it, but it's really hard to get any coins when every sixth card I flip over is a Voltorb.

Toad, if you're flipping Voltorbs that often you don't know how to play it.

I never really cared about Breeding. Going gaga to make sure your Pokemon have the precise Nature, Ability, Move Set, Gender, who really cares? Play the game for fun, not to max out the monsters and break the game.

It's a gotta-catch-them-all game. You gotta have all the best stuff. Thankfully by the end of Final Fantasy X I was too tired to attempt doing the bestiary catalog thing or upgrading the aeons (who seemed plenty powerful enough already).

That was an exaggeration. But I did (and still do) find it hard to get past level one when there are so many Voltrobs on the field. I've made it to level 3 or 4 now, so I think I'm getting the hang of it. I should really progress in the game though, instead of playing this minigame (I want a Dratini now though..)

So suppose you've already conquered all the gyms, Team Rocket, and the Elite Four (not that I'm assuming that Weegee has or hasn't).  Precision breeding and EV Training are about the only things left to do if you don't wanna try for Pokedex completion, which few people do given the sheer number of 'mons.

Wait, you mean the Game Corner is offering Pokemon as prizes again?  Man, this game just keeps on adding selling points the more I hear about it.  I hate having a budget.

When hasn't it?

[Turtlekid1]

In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

If I need to complete my Pokedex (something I have never done in my life) or want a specific Pokemon, I just grab an Evolved Pokemon and a Ditto. Problem solved.

[penguinwizard]

Someone's gonna start up a "Dittos are Mons Too" or "Promote Genetic Diversity: Stop In-breeding With Dittos" campaign.

Although in hindsight it's kinda cool they can transform into the other-sex version of anything.

Again, at that point, unless you are, in fact going for Pokedex completion, the focus isn't obtaining a Pokemon, but training it.  As with many things in games, it's the journey, not the goal, that matters.

[Weegee]

Just beat Ash/Red on Mt. Silver. It was quite a challenge, seeing as my team consisted of a Lv.90 Feraligatr, Lv.71 Mewtwo, a Lv17 Wooper I hadn't bothered depositing, and a pair of level-twentysomething HM slaves.

By the way, has anyone else yet obtained the GB Sounds item? Collect all sixteen badges and chat up Game Freak's sound director in Celadon Mansion to do so. Any G/S/C owner shoud be pleased with the results.
