    I'm dying to find out form you guys whether you'd like Voltorb Flip or Slot Machines.

    I was hoping someone would make a poll for this but it never happened.

    So I'm making it. :)

    I personally would of liked slot machines since the ouside of the Game Corner looks nothing like the inside.

    If they really wanted LITTLE KIDS not to play those games, they should of sold games that had the slot machine and didn't.

    So I say the ones without slot machines would be 25% of the total total stocked games in each individual store.

    What do you choose?

    Flip or Slot?

    I'd say Slot Machines out of sheer habit, but I don't have HG/SS (which won't be for a while...) and haven't tried out the new game, so I won't vote just yet. I'm really disappointed about the Slot Machine removal (I don't gamble in real life, though), but I'm still eager and willing to try out Voltorb Flip someday.

    I prefer the Slots. I'm actually decent at those, and the fact that they removed people you can buy Coins from kinda defeats the purpose of the Game Corner. I suck at Voltorb Flip, anyways.

    I like the Voltorb flip, just because I can get 2000 coins in an hour or so, which is something I couldn't do before. And it allowed me to get Dratini.

    (Besides, that game is pretty addicting.)

    Definitely the voltorb flip. It isn't nearly as reliant on luck and you can actually win something with that.
    It requires a bit of thinking and is way more addictive.

    And it's free, so yay.

    I actually like the Voltorb Flip, though I kinda suck at it, at the moment. But it's a cool addition. Slot machines were okay, it was kinda easy to win in Pearl. Voltorb Flip takes concentration and a little bit of luck.

    Perhaps if they had added more games, I wouldn't feel so bad, but somehow, the Game Corner feels empty with just one Voltorb Flip board. I suppose they're a bit better then the slots, though the ones in Japan HG/SS looked more promising then the last variations.

    Guess we should count our blessings that we didn't get "game machines".

    I sent an email to Nintendo of America about the slot machines, and here is the response I got.

    Nintendo of America said:
    Hello,



    I appreciate your taking the time to share your comments with us regarding the removal of the slot machines in the Game Corner of the Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver games. The reason for the development changes between one region and another aren't made known to us but rest assured that your email will be forwarded on to the appropriate department for further review.



    Sincerely,



    Jennie Chuck

    Well I hope Jennie Chuck didn't do this. XD

    But think of it this way guys. I admit the Voltorb Flip is fun. But wouldn't you like to have BOTH instead of just the one game?

    It's too simple, and too slow of a way to get coins. I mean, you get like, 20 coins if you're lucky enough to get them ALL?

    Actually, the fact that they existed in the first place kind of defeated the purpose of the Game Corner.

    Just like real life

    They should have kept the slot machines for just that reason
    To teach kids that the house ALWAYS wins

    Not in Pokemon. In Pokemon the players usually win. That guy was just unlucky or didn't know how to play properly if it was one of the newer (and slightly skill-based) versions.

    But think of it this way guys. I admit the Voltorb Flip is fun. But wouldn't you like to have BOTH instead of just the one game?

    Personally? Not really. I wouldn't say no, but I don't think I'd find myself playing them, like ever.

    I'll say Slot Machines, merely for my pure love for it in the past games.
    I can't say I'm a huge fan of the Voltorb Flip, I've played it like twice...
    But from what I'm experiencing, I don't like it.

    I think the inside of the Game Corner is like, really, REALLY small and empty than the outside of it. Heehee
