  • I love Voltorb Flip. It's easier to get coins, and that kind of game is the type of thing I really enjoy.

    I have a copy of the Japanese Soul Silver too though, and the slots are really cool... But again, slots are just a bit old...

    My vote goes to the Voltorb Flip!

  • Slot machines. Just because I used to buy the coins and get my prizes. When now I have to sit down and play a stupid game which takes ages to get coins. Also, in the Japanese version, why is their slot machines? And not in the english version? It's so unfair.

    Because of European laws and unending American lawsuits claiming "Pokemon got me addicted to gambling".

    I really can't play Voltorb Flip. There's too much math involved for someone who has a difficulty reading numbers and who follows different ways to reach the correct answer. I've read guides, but the numbers just don't make sense to me. I tried to play, and after two hours got 1,000 coins, but it was just getting too hard to play once the 0 rows/columns were gone.

    I just found it easier to catch a Dratini in my Pearl game than get frustrated, as math tends to make me.

    It's not too terribly of a big deal to me, since I've never played the slots in the old games. I'll get a Porygon in other ways.

  • I preferred having the slot machines, because, with them, I was capable of purchasing coins. The Voltorb Flip is now our only method of obtaining coins, which is infuriating, since I am not particularly adept at it.

    I am, quite simply, fed up with people instigating litigations for such petty, an often untrue, things. All us honest folk suffer because of them.

    I prefer Voltorb Flip. Yeah, sure, the game was frustrating at first...since I couldn't win more than three coins without getting blasted by that infernal red and white ball. But now, I can easily breeze past through the first six levels. Took me a while to figure out the mechanics behind the thing, but it had a great pay-off for such a low-risk game. I still wish that the only good TMs weren't so costly, though. That's the only thing wrong with it.

  • Voltorb Flip. I can actually win at this. Also, in the slots, buying coins makes me feel all cheap and dirty :|

  • Buying coins defeats the purpose of the Game Corner.

    And to all those failing at Voltorb Flip, there are generators on the internet. Not perfectly accurate ones, but generators none-the-less

  • I like Voltorb Flip, but I really suck at it.. :/ I still prefer it than the boring old Slots where I can never even win one coin, lol. *Googles for help on Voltorb Flip*

  • I've now tried both, and both have their charms. Slot Machines is more luck-based and requires an eagle-eye and hand-eye coordination talent. Voltorb Flip requires logic; however, sometimes a Voltorb puzzle has two or more "answers", and you can pick the wrong spot because of this.

    I like them both, though. Voltorb hurts my head :s Slot Machines were fun.

    I definitely prefer the Slot Machines at the moment. Voltorb Flip seems a little complex; especially for younger children.

    Neither, just lemme buy the coins to get my TM's and Poragon, and i'll be golden. I really can't be bothered with minesweeper just to finish my move sets, and the fact it took me 4 hours to get 1000 coins isn't helping my view on it.

  • I HATE the Voltorb flip. They should have at least kept in the slots as well instead of just having one table of Voltorb Flip... not much of a game corner...
    I think I'm more upset that they took away the ability to buy coins, I know it takes the fun away but I really dislike Voltorb Flip. In saying that though I'm actually quite good at it, but it gets annoying after a while.

  • I prefer the voltorb flip game personally.

    It give me a chance to use logic to solve a puzzle in a pokemon game, something pokemon has YET to do really...
    Though it would have been nice if they would have made it into a back-room in the game-corner, and still had the old card-flip AND the Slots... they need more lottery games... HOPEFULLY, we'll see a BIG casino or something in Gen V, cause the lack of gambling games in HG/SS is VERY disappointing...

  • Voltorb Flip is fun, but I wish they made the Game Corner a little less empty lol. I do hate it when my memos don't match up though. The highest I've gotten is level 6 so it can be done, provided you don't just pick random squares and make sure the numbers add up.

    But really, why can't we just buy coins? Not even an underground vendor? groan...

  • I miss the slot machines really bad :( It may have been random, but it was a fun no-brainer that helped me pass a few hours on a coach or a train.

    Personally, I liked the slots... I really suck at the flippy things, so comparing the Voltorb Flip and Slot Machines, I'm waaaayyyy better at the slots! =D And I think it's a LOT easier getting coins with the slots. But the prizes for the Voltorb Flip are a lot better...
