Personally I think that the X times are a Xtreme waste of time (oh no I didn't. >:()

You're probably better of with just stat boosting moves.

But that's the point. What if you *don't* have stat-boosting moves?

Not every Pokémon learns Calm Mind and Dragon Dance.

Never use em. I find if your in a situation when you NEED to boost states, you've done something wrong, I would assume neglected to train. I still use state boosting moves the odd time, but even then I find it unnecessary

I don't think I've ever used them? Maybe once. I don't even think I sold most of them. They just kind of rotted away. But it wouldn't be the first time I failed to use something and it would have been extremely helpful. (Never used stat raising/lowering moves.) :P

Never liked them, the only one I ever found interesting was Dire Hit.

I feel ashamed... :embarrass
I've been playing Pokemon games since Crystal and to this day I thought these items are supposed to be held... I even gave an X Defend to my Blissey... that might be the only time I ever... "used" this kind of items.

If I'm racing through the game I'll use the odd one, like so Tortera can have a chance against Candice in generation four games.

oh yes, definitely. i love x-items!
x-tra cash is always great. nuggets would make me happier though =P

now seriously, i don't use them but i can see some potential for ppl who like to do runs with stuff like caterpie, ratatta, etc.

I pretty much just keep my x items until I'm desperate for money and I sell them for cash. They have their uses and I've used them in the past but I'm better off just attacking the enemy.

I never ever use them.

If I'm ever in a desperate enough position that I need to start using them, then I might as well just turn off and try again.

I can say that I've probably only used 'X' items once in all of my years playing Pokémon. I find them completely useless and pretty much a waste of a turn in battle. They usually just accumulate in my bag while I'm playing the game, but I sell them to the PokéMart eventually.
