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.

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.

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

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
