  • Kalos region is expensive that every service needs a tip. So far, there's no benefits of giving tips therefore I'm wondering, do you give tips?

    Seriously, every dang person you talked to asks for tips. I only give $100 tips since everything in Kalos is expensive, especially the clothes.

    Everything is money-oriented in Kalos but at least it's not like the previous where they ask you 50 berries.

    I gave a tip to the dude who sings in the Parfum Palace, but not to the photographer. I probably won't until we get a confirmation whether tips actually do anything other than make us waste money. Or I don't know, until I get rich and can actually afford giving tips in the game ^_^

    I've heard from several guys on different forums (but i cannot confirm 100%) that giving tips increase shiny pokemon appearence rate.

    I tip the most every time and still not sighted a shiny :P I must be unlucky.

  • I've given tips a few times to restaurants and to the photographer, and apparently that increased my luck to get me a Shiny Hippopotas.

    Just like in real life, it depends my mood. :P
    Though if I find it amusing I will give the biggest amount. :)
    Like the guy in Courmaline City. :')

    I've only given a tip twice. Once to the photographer because I thought he'll give me something extra :P The other time was a $1000 tip to the guy who played Unwavering Emotions.

    I've tipped a lot more since my last post, anybody that asks I give the max. If you score perfect in the restaurant battles they give you an option to tip $10,000. So of course I gave that. So far I've noticed no rewards but it's not like I'm hurting for money. I've even bought things for my character like the Down Jacket for $120,000.

  • So I've started giving tips on occasion as I've heard it increases your odds of encountering a shiny. Not sure how much credibility there is to that rumor, but I've had no such luck.

  • I used to give small tips occasionally to those who asked, I'd give $100 and $500 but that's about it. However since reading about the alleged Shiny ratio increase, I've been giving $1,000 at every opportunity I get!

    Does anybody know where the Shiny rumor started? Any website or anything we can look at? So far it's been word of mouth lol.

    I've gotten a shiny from Friend Safari without ever giving any tips. If anything I think they increased the rate inside of the safari to find shinies. The tip rumour doesn't sound right to me.

  • Tipping

    Well, most of you should know this, but you have the option tipping people (such as waiters and such) in Pokemon X and Y. I don't think it was in B2W2, so my question is:

    do you tip? How much? Why?

    Also, what does it do? if anyone knows?

    I don't tip people, just because i like to spend money on accessories instead!

    The only benefit I've seen is you get a medal on the global link for tipping generously.
