>The Game Corner has been present in all games since the inception of Pokémon. In Heart Gold & Soul Silver however, it is found in two locations; Goldenrod City & Celadon City. The game however, remains the same and to use it, you need the Coin Case and some coins. You can buy some to get you started from the counter; 50 Coins for 1000 and 500 for 10000.

They might as well have removed it generations ago. Nobody actually plays the slots, they just buy the TMs with coins as a middleman.

>English releases of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen renamed the Gambler Trainer class to Gamer and altered their dialogue to remove references to gambling. The English versions of the Generation IV games renamed Gamblers once more but to PI instead; however, the references to gambling were kept.

>In the European Union, the releases of Pokémon Platinum replaced the slot machines in Veilstone City's Game Corner from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl with non-playable game machines as a result of changes in the classification standards at PEGI[2]. This change has been greatly criticized by European players, who felt that it completely defeated the purpose and concept of the Game Corner.

>All non-Japanese releases of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver replace the slot machines of the two Game Corners in Goldenrod City and Celadon City with a new game called Voltorb Flip. In this minigame, coins are not wagered against a win or a loss but instead given out for completing a level. While many find the game to be entertaining, the change removed the ability to buy coins, effectively making Voltorb Flip a requirement for obtaining them.

>All core series games since Pokémon Black and White feature no Game Corner at all. Furthermore, this is referenced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, which shows that the Mauville Game Corner has been closed down.

>Although the Goldenrod and Celadon Game Corners were changed in the non-Japanese releases, all versions (Japanese, Korean, and Western) have every map of the Game Corners: in the Japanese versions, the maps related to Voltorb Flip and Mr. Game are unused and have no events or warps programmed, while the Korean and Western versions have the original maps with their warps intact, plus the event to interact with the clerk is still present and the interface used to buy coins is functional and was translated. TM78 (Captivate) also remains in the unused Goldenrod Game Corner in the Korean and Western versions, and the slot machines in the leftover maps trigger Voltorb Flip in these versions.

Just because you don't doesn't mean others don't either.

I am all for buying coins but it has to be a in small 100 coins for 1000 amounts or move the gambling to a battle frontier and make the player earn them through battles. That way the payout potential for the machines outpays the amount you would bulk buy. Not buying coins sucks because what if you lose them all?

>More gambling/mini games in my pokemans when?

Not again in my lifetime ;-;

You can't buy coins anymore because of PEGI.

Pokemon is already PEGI 7 in Europe. What about making it PEGI 12 ? thus we can get a more mature plot with a little bit of seduction and some murders

GF is just lazy, they saw an easy way to get rid of yet another feature and if anyone ever asked they'd say "lol no gambling allowed"

There is an easy way to by-pass this restriction but it'd require them to work more and fuck that

No, PEGI did change the rules.

You realize there are ways to keep the game corner while getting rid of the "gambling" factor right?

Hence the second part of the post that you decided to ignore

It's nobody else's fault but GF

Nobody liked Voltorb Flip, which was planned since the Japanese release (hence the unused maps in the Japanese versions). Game Freak just decided it wasn't worth the bother anymore.

Voltorb flip was an easy as balls game. Interesting. 8/10 would play again. If Game Corner Ever comes back.

There are a lot of different and varied mini-games they could add, not just voltorb flip.
They could easily think of pokemon-versions of popular arcade games.

Pokemon Tetris, Pokemon Bejewled, Pokemon Galactica, Pokeathlon, Pokemon Racing, Pokemon Jump, Pokemon Dodrio Picking, Pokemon Memory, Pokemon Pinball

In a main game that is in no way a spin off but a mini game feature to fill the game corner as a replacement for gambling when?

Voltorb flip is too similar to Minesweeper for me to be very good at it.
I tested how shit I was at Minesweeper some time back. I won 3 out of 300 games. On easy.

And to get rid of the "coins" just use old-fashion arcade tickets or the newer version, the card that hold your points

Honestly pokemon has a lot of wasted potential for mini-games and features that GF will likely never explore/expand upon

Then play it on PC (not the Pokémon ROM emulator but a port someone made years ago).

Augh, no, we can't have that. Add in guns, though, that will be fine.

Let's play a game, /vp/.

If you don't already know, try to guess which particular European country was probably responsible for the corner getting axed.

HINT: It wasn't Germany. The real culprits have always had an irrational hatred for that country throughout history, and as such tried to push the blame on them.

PEGI changed the rules, it wasn't any particular EU country.
