I was hoping for some decorations for my room like in the original gold/silver, but that isn't in the game anymore i think...
I still let her save some money from me to buy those berries, just because she seems to like buying me berries..
Money is ridiculously easy to get in HG/SS (although it's still easy in D/P/Pt too). I let her save money from the beginning, and now we both have the max 999,999. x_x I was originally worried about her rather shameless spending of her son's winnings, but I never really had to withdraw extra money from the Mommy Bank...always had more than enough.
I let her save money, and once the constant calls about the stupid berries got to me annoying, I just quit picking them up. Now she's actually saving it without spending it.
But if I play through again, I probably won't have her save. It's not worth it.
I did at first, then stopped, but I might go back and start saving up again. I don't really spend a lot of money (I would if I actually played SS more often), but she can buy stuff that's otherwise harder to get, like held items (focus sash/muscle band) and some berries that I'm too lazy to transfer from Platinum.
Always send some home to Mother. She spent the first ten years of your life slaving away in a town with five buildings with no pokemon to allow her to travel through the tall grass, waiting for the bus that only ran twice a week to put food on the table and clothes on your back. So she buys you berries - eat your berries and be happy she doesn't tell you the truth about your Father ;_;
Yes, I hope this is a feature in BW also. Even though she spends it every now and then, I actually have more money than I've ever had in any Pokemon game. Except for Red, but I basically cheated all the way through Red.
Before I actually got my copy of SoulSilver, I read looooooads of horror stories on the internet about two things in HG&SS: letting their mom save their money and people getting pissed off by Joey.
That's why I avoided letting my mom save my money as well as giving Joey my phone number.
There's really no point in letting her save your money though, the only good thing you get is really the VERY rare Choice Scarf, and I pokesav all my Wifi pokemon anyway, so yeah. No point in doing that when she's only going to annoy me every 5 minutes.
I let her save the money in hopes she'd get Oran berries for the curing Milktank thing, but she never did, I now have like 60 lespa, vesta? (I don't remember the name) berries because of her and it didn't occur to me until after I beat the Elite Four that I could just grow my own Oran berries...
Yes I do. If I didn't I'd probably have no money. The only downside in letting her borrow the money is it' annoying getting a call from her saying she bought a doll or something.
Meh. I only buy revives, full restores, and pokeballs anyways so I don't care. P:
I let her but the constant calling about the berries got annoying, so I haven't picked up those items in about 2 weeks in fear she'd call back. =w=
Yep, I let my mom save money for me. Although most of the time she buys me berries and other useless stuff, sometimes she gets me some pretty cool stuff like a Moon Stone, etc.
