Who even used the Game Corner? Only reason I ever used it was to grind for TMs, and even then most of the time I'd just save up a shitload of money and buy the coins that way. The only thing the Game Corner was good for was having great music and housing the Rocket Hideout.

Not in the Yuropoor version.

Fuck Britain. The game corner only got axed after they joined the rest of Europe in rating games.

They can't include game corners anymore because then they would have to add the "gambling" tag to their rating and it possibly wouldn't be 3 or 7 years rated anymore.

Same here, but at least it was there. Rather have content I don't use than no content.

Game corner through emulation is savescum to win.

HGSS's wimpy electrode game is way too easy to Jackpot with savescumming.

Is pachinko banned in Europe? It's technically not gambling.

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/The_Pok%C3%A9mon_Company_International#Game_Corner_censorship
>In Pokémon Platinum, due to stricter classification standards at PEGI implemented in the period of the game's release[2] (which required that any game deemed to "encourage or teach gambling" be classified 18),[3] the Veilstone Game Corner's slot machines were all replaced in the European localizations—including the UK release—with game machines which randomly give out some Coins daily if checked, but could not be played on. This extended into Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, which removed the slot machines altogether in all non-Japanese releases, replacing them with Voltorb Flip and disallowing the player from buying Coins.

>As a result, Game Corners have been absent from the core series games since Pokémon Black and White. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Mauville Game Corner is closed.

That's exactly what the game corners have had. You gamble with the tokens you buy and exchange it for prizes. Apparently that wasn't enough like not gambling.

I loved the game corner, I considered it a Pokemon staple, like Miniskirt/Lasses and evil teams. It was just one more thing for you to do in the game.

I want these games to bomb so badly and become the most hated set in the series but I also know from the ORAS sales that fanboys will eat them up like crazy no matter how shitty they are.

>No Platinum additions because fuck you they're too much work!

>No post-game island. Battle Maison or whatever they decide to name the tower reskin is where Pal-Park used to be

>Slow surfing speed, battles, and everything for that authentic feel

>Exclusive mega's. You either get Double Penetration or you don't get them at all because no patch.

>Tons of handholding and a greatly reduced Mt. Coronet for EZ mode because Sinnoh is hard.

>No more underground

Is there anything they could do to make people not buy it?
They could remove more then half the content and people would still buy it, I can't think of anything GF could (legally) do to hurt sales.

Hell at this rate they can release a pokemon game that's only one room in size/length, a patch of grass and a trailer you can battle with.

As long as what they remove isn't a main feature then yes.

You see, THIS is a good idea. Rather than just outright removing slot machines, keep the concept of a "Game Corner"; replace them with various mini-games and call it an arcade instead. Hell, it can even keep the name Game Corner too.

There was nothing wrong with Voltorb Flip.

What pissed people off about it was that you couldn't directly buy tokens. You were forced to play.

I'll say it once and I'll say it again.
GF needs to return the Game Corner, but with Pinball, maybe like the ones from the GB/GBA pinball titles.
You'd just but in In-Game money, say, 100 Poke$ (So no more of that Coin Case shit) and depending on how much points you got, you get a prize for that amount. Some prizes even being Battle Items and Rare Items like Rare Candies and Master Balls.
That way you get a cool ass pinball Mini-game, you get rid of the tedious coin grinding, AND it's not gambling.
It's a Win-Win-WIN!

Your idea sounds great but it also sounds like more work than OP. Guess which route GF would rather take.
