It's great because it's rubs it in your face. You reach Canalave city for the first time and Barry sprints up to you to battle, and you're suddenly facing a Heracross and a Munchlax which 0 other trainers in Sinnoh have used so far. You're like "oh shit, they're in the Sinnoh dex? I can't wait to catch them!" and then you beat the game and the 2 final Pokemon you have to catch to complete the dex are Heracross and Munchlax and you're ready to kill yourself

The odds of the first two trees you honey up giving you a Heracross and a Munchlax are like 0.003%, dude.
Better odds than just randomly bumping into a Shiny, but it's still blood-sacrifice-to-the-Random-Number-God unlikely.

It's less than that for Munchlax.

"What the game doesn't tell you is that the trees are split into two types, normal trees and Munchlax trees. Munchlax trees produce rarer Pokémon more often than normal trees as well as having a chance to produce Munchlax, which normal trees do not have. Only three or four of the 21 honey trees in the game are Munchlax trees, and which ones they are depends on your trainer ID number and the hidden "secret ID", both of which are set at the start of the game. There are almost always four Munchlax trees, but due to a bug in the way that the game tries to ensure it picks four different trees, there is a small chance (about 0.93%) that two of the four designated Munchlax trees will actually be the same, resulting in there effectively only being three."

It's a wildly complex and retarded system but super fucking funny to look back at

He’s Hop but not only with a better character and motivation, but also a satisfying climax. Battling against Team Galactic at Spear Pillar with Barry is pure kino, especially with the build up to it starting with Barry’s loss at Lake Acuity. He starts as a hyperactive kid but as the story goes you get to see how how good of a person he is and he’s a great friend/rival to you as well.

After you find one Munchlax, it’s very easy. Because the honey trees work in such a way that there’s a high chance that the next honey tree encounter will be the same as the previous one so all you have to do is save after catching a Munchlax and reset until you get one.

Unfortunately, Berry was never more than a Hop with less depth who did not care about his countless losses and randomly appears at the finale at the Spear Pillar without any set-up.
Overwhelming his identity crisis and stepping out of Leon's shadow and finding his own way made Hop the peak of "friendly rivals".

Barry gets upset after being defeated by Jupiter at Lake Acuity and blames himself for not being able to save Uxíe and promises to get stronger and take revenge, which he does by battling against her and Mars with the player at Spear Pillar
>Overwhelming his identity crisis and stepping out of Leon's shadow and finding his own way made Hop the peak
Unfortunately that doesn’t stop him from being very shallow and uninteresting AND annoying. Barry balanced out his annoying friendly parts by being a challenging rival as well.

There was no single battle against Berry, which is even close to be considered challenging... unlike Hop's final battle in whch he was using a Legendary Pokémon, especially Zacian is a real threat due to its absurd offensive powers, speed and even type coverage it uses. It almost swept my entire team, something one will never experience in a fight with Berry.

At 1% and 4 meaningful encounters every 6 hours, it would take 6.25 days on average to encounter Munchlax. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I mean I did it after around 4 days, but it's not like all 4 of those days were spent waiting in front of trees. Of course I played the game when the trees weren't shaking. And once you encounter what you're looking for, you can chain it to keep encountering it. I got a bunch of Munchlax and Leftovers this way.

Yes, Munchlax is technically the rarest encounter out of anything in the franchise, but it isn't THAT bad just like roamers aren't that bad once you know how to cheese them. I caught Cresselia, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres in the span of 45 minutes when I realized I could just run back and forth between route boundaries until one showed up on the map.

Keep in mind that this was around 2006-2010 and some of us were still in school. I was 16 when /vp/ was created and now I'm 25. But even if I were playing it now, I probably could manage at work. 9 hour shifts with two 15 minute breaks and a 1 hour lunch would be easy enough to work around. I'd just have to set up what my 6 hour intervals are.

I liked the honey tree mechanic when I was younger. It was exciting waking up the next day and finding out what Pokemon appeared this time. This coupled with the myriad of daily events and other side content in DPPt kept me interested in playing the game long after I finished the main story. Nowadays I barely have any reason to keep playing after beating the league besides a battle tower and dicking around online, both of which have been getting progressively shittier with each gen.
