The Old Gateau
 
Do you still have yours? I have mine on both Diamond and Platinum, I haven't made it to the Old Chateau in Pearl yet.

Lt_Nite May 30th, 2009 4:57 PM

I do on Diamond but I think I used it in Platinum, I never really saw a purpose to it, just seems like a full heal to me, unless there was more of a deeper meaning to it that I didn't know XD

POKéMIKE May 30th, 2009 5:57 PM

Pretty sure it's just a Full Heal.

The Dragon Master Is Back May 30th, 2009 6:03 PM

Yeah I Have Got Mine In Diamond
And my sister has got hers in platinum and pearl.
Really I dont need to use them!

jigglyppuff8 May 30th, 2009 6:09 PM

I still have it. In all of my Pokemon games, I never use an item unless I can easily get it back. Makes my collection look more complete.

PlatinumDawnFtw May 30th, 2009 6:26 PM

I've honestly never bothered to pick it up in any of my 4th gen games.

Zelda May 30th, 2009 6:29 PM

I have kept my Old Gateau but I don't know why. It's the only one you can get so I just saved it. Though I wish it was used for a better use.

kissing. raindrops May 30th, 2009 6:59 PM

Yupp, I still have mine. But I think the idea of the item is pointless. >__<

Miss Soupy May 30th, 2009 7:04 PM

Yup, I still have it. What's the point of it anyway? It's practically useless imo. >____>

Zelda May 30th, 2009 7:06 PM

I have it; as I said before. Maybe it could've been used as an item for Rotom though. I wouldn't know what it would be used for, but having it as an item for Rotom would be a good idea in my opinion.

Miss Soupy May 30th, 2009 7:09 PM

Yeah, something for Rotom would give it more purpose. ;A;

And, like, maybe some statement about it.. Like, the only family living there made items, and it's the last of their items, or something? Iunno. It just seems kind of... there. If anything was said about it, it'd be cool for me, though. D:

cheese rox! May 30th, 2009 7:15 PM

I always thought of it as a full heal too. I don't use full heals, and if I find one, i usually sell it, but the "Old Gateau" sounds epic, and it doesn't look like a full heal, so I've kept it.

Blaziken_Boy May 30th, 2009 9:58 PM

Apparently people keep it because it's cool looking. Really, a full heal in the shape of a purple cube.

Sweet Jasmine May 30th, 2009 10:02 PM

Well i have this item also.. I've never used it.. Well lets try searching in google :P. or wikipedia or bulbapedia. Maybe it could help?

MetalMario May 30th, 2009 10:14 PM

I don't feed my Pokémon 100-year-old cake.

What did you do with it then?

Ray Maverick May 30th, 2009 11:20 PM

My Post.....



I keep rare items like Lava cookie and OLd gateau,once they are no use to me.

I'm not writing every time i post this CSS design

BHwolfgang May 31st, 2009 5:30 AM

Meh, I just put the item in my PC. I might not use it, but it makes me look like a collector. :]

templekeeper May 31st, 2009 5:31 AM

It's not worthless! It's a trophy item. I have three, so yeah-

Lynnx May 31st, 2009 5:50 AM

I still have mine. Probably the only reason I haven't used it yet is because it's at the bottom of my bag and I never bother to scroll down there.

Patchy May 31st, 2009 5:51 AM

I forgot about it.

Lol. D:

Blue_Drifblim May 31st, 2009 6:14 AM

I still have mine. There's just something about that square purple thing...

Ayselipera May 31st, 2009 7:19 AM

When I first played I tried keeping it the whole way
till the end of the game because I thought there was
something special about it. Now though I just use it
right away so it doesn't take up space.

OokamiShipper May 31st, 2009 9:06 AM

Yeah, I still have mines.
I barely use anything like that, I'l just use stuff from the medicine pocket. Unless I...run out. x3

Zelda May 31st, 2009 11:44 AM

I didn't use mine as yet because you can only get one. Though I think it could've been in better use. We get full heals all the time, and another one just calling it the Old Gateau was a bit ridiculous. If it could've been something useful for battling, or for EV training, that would've been nice. It could up the Sp.Atk, Def., etc. of the different Rotom formes perhaps? Either way, it would've been nice for it to be something else other than something very similar to the Full Heal.

That would have been cool. Maybe they could give it a 1/10 chance of giving the user Pokerus?

If the Old Gateau gave the pokemon a 1/10 chance of getting Pokerus that would be nice. However, Pokerus is a good virus that affects pokemon when you catch a pokemon that has it. Therefore, it wouldn't make sense having the Old Gataeu make a pokemon have pokerus of a 1/10 chance. Maybe if it was used as a held item to attract pokemon that have pokerus out of a 1/8,127 (or whatever number they use for shinies) it would've been better.

.inLOVE May 31st, 2009 12:28 PM

I have a couple from trades. It really can come in handy.

Um... your bag can never be full anymore (how does the player carry it all!?) so it can't be taking up space at all...
I still have mine. It's a souvenir.
I would be cool if the PLAYER could eat it. And a nice little cut scene to go with it, perhaps with a hovering Rotom, Gengar and Ghost Girl!

I was going by the fact that the Gateau is probably very old and has been sitting out for so long that there would be a chance that a live Pokerus strain could have found its way into the cake.

And, to make it so people can't grab the cake, go to the Pokemon Center, heal a paralyzed pokemon with it and check to see if they get it then just be able to reset right back at the Pokemon Center where they can try to heal again, the chance is determined the moment the cake is picked up.
Yay for suggesting things that will never make it into the game because it's already been made!

I know your bag can't be full anymore, but just
the fact that it had a space in my bag was annoying
because it didn't have an important use. It was just
another name for a full heal.

RYOUKI June 1st, 2009 12:36 AM

Yep. Still have mine. I don't use an item unless I have a double. That's why I have all the TMs the Gym Leader gives out.

Runaru June 1st, 2009 12:47 AM

I still have my Old Gateau. Ss a single item so keep it. There are more items with the same effect that it

You can't put items in your PC anymore

Suzuna June 1st, 2009 6:38 AM

I've got it in Diamond (haven't made it to the Chateau in Platinum yet), and I really don't know why I've kept it

Red Rain June 1st, 2009 8:23 AM

I keep items unless I have another, a lot like other members here. The item is just plain weird, it's doesn't even look like gateau. It's novelty and think, Old Gateau rhymes with Old Chateau, hence why it probably exists.

CallsignZero July 19th, 2009 12:10 PM

Its a rotten full heal that was left in a cake tin haha I saved mine like a unque item, why use it when I can have it as a trophy and just use Lava Cookies/Full heals? :P

LethalTexture July 19th, 2009 11:52 PM
