The Game Corners!

I never liked the game corner. I could never understand it, and I always won the exact same way. I'm not exactly glad they took it out since it never really affected me, but I'm not complaining about it either

 

There are some parts about the game corner that I liked. It was mostly because if the prizes are Pokémon, especially for ones that are not found in the wild. ewe' Those are basically the only reason I go to the game corner. lol

 

Game corner... frustrating af. Literally more grindy than Pokémon itself. Awesome, but annoying and grindy

 

I think it's a not-bad idea, phasing it out. Gambling is frowned upon in many parts of the world, so rather than removing it from some regions' (on planet Earth, not poke-planet) releases, they can produce a more constant game, something they're trying to do lately for the entire world like their global release of XY and ORAS all on the same day. But that's kind of beside the point, I guess. I'm okay with it, since I never really went to the game corners anyhow. It was just never fun for me: why would I stare at roulettes when I can go battle the Elite Four? I don't miss it.

 

The Game Corners were alright. I've never really been very lucky with them, but it was always nice to get a few coins from few good streaks. The rare Pokémon and useful TMs were good as well. As for their gradual removals, I don't really mind since I don't really make use of them in the first place.

 

It's a shame they removed the slot machines from HGSS and onward, I always enjoyed trying to get all the rare items at the store, but I haven't been able to figure out how Voltorb Flip works at all and it's frustrating you can't just buy coins, because it's the only way to get a second Flamethrower, Tbolt or Ice Beam TM.
The Game Corner I spent the most time is the one from FRLG, the music was addicting, you could buy coins if you weren't lucky and the place had significance to the plot too. There was also a machine which let you print your team on your Trainer Card, a fun little extra.

 

I never liked the Game Corners because I could never win, but I wish they were still in the game for the people who did like them. If I had to choose a favorite though, it would be Voltorb Flip because I could actually use somewhat of a strategy for that one.

 

I really, really enjoyed the Game Corners and I was quite disappointed to see them gone.

That said, it's probably a good idea to have taken them out since like Zero mentioned, gambling is a big problem in a lot of the world. It's probably best for the company and the franchise to stick to being kid friendly.

 

I've never really liked the game corners because they're always to freaking hard and you only need them for the Pokédex, an even then, you don't always need them.

But they're a nice little perk, I haven't got anything unfortunately.

 

I never understood the Game Corners in DPPt, but I was really good at the Voltorb Flip in HGSS! I remember reaching level 8... that's good, right?

With all the new features added to the games, I don't really miss the Game Corner. There are other ways to entertain yourself in-game now.
