6th Gen Do you tip?

[LightningAlex]

Yeah, I always tip the largest amount possible. Don't know why, really. I was never interested in catching shinies and didn't even think about it boosting the chances of encounter. I guess I just.... felt guilty when I didn't tip...

I think I'm taking Pokemon games too seriously xD

 

[Atwilko]

i never tip, i dont see the point in it and i use the money for buying potions and stuff anyway.

 

[Taemin]

I always give tips, though not usually the biggest ones. I just thought it was cute little detail, and went ahead and did it before I even knew it had actual effects on the game. xD

 

[Pachireecko]

I normally tip the middle amount whenever I can afford it. I'm not even sure if it's beneficial to me in any way, but I like doing it regardless.

 

[Astinus]

I always tip the highest amount I can give. At first, it was because of the rumor that tipping well increases the chance of shinies. Now I just tip the highest amount because it's a force of habit and I can afford it.

 

[Hiatus]

I've done some tipping before, but not recently. :( Largest amount of cash I've ever given would be somewhere around 10,000. It hasn't affected me in any way at all, which caused me to stop.

 

[MrBananaMan212]

I never tip. It is a waste of money, because there is no proof it makes anything easier or improves anything.

 

[Pinta77]

I never tip :P I guess I'm just a jerk

Masuda stated in an interview that the purpose of tipping will be announced soon.

I've always tipped since I started the game, and reading the above has made me more confident about doing so. I always regret when I accidentally mash B past the opportunity to tip. But hey, there's a cafe in Lumiose which allows you to infinitely-tip. Whenever the purpose of tipping is announced, I imagine people will be flocking to it.

(There are some theories people have that Friend Safaris have different rates of shinies appearing... I wonder if tipping affects this? Just a random thought that came to mind, but I doubt it.)

 

[Pinkie-Dawn]

Yes, I always give NPCs a tip, and by the time I've reached a high amount of currency, I tip them at the highest amount it can reach.

 

[vocis]

Huh, I always wondered if there was any benefit to tipping. I never did it. Apparently I wasn't really missing out, since I got all my style points buying dusk balls in the pokeball shop.

 

[Virtual Headache]

I only tipped once or twice since I don't believe in the rumours about what tipping does to shiny rates/etc. I plan to tip until the point where you get the medal for tipping in the GTS (whenever that is) but then I'll definitely stop.

Oh yeah, I heard about that. Did they forget they wanted to tell us that?^^
