Falkner's Gym
 
You ever notice it looks like a giant dollar sign?

Falkner is a money grubber.

I always thought it looked more like guts. Because, you know, "The keyword is 'guts'". :V

Fizz! February 7th, 2010 4:23 PM

Eww, guts.

I've always thought it was strange that he had a dollar sign in his gym.
Whitney's gym is a giant Clefairy.

What do you think paid for that gym?

What I'm more interested in is why there isn't a fence or railing preventing people from falling into the pit of darkness.

And what about the darkside of the gym ?

Does he mean the dollars float above everything (World's Abyss ...) ??

JeTz February 8th, 2010 1:58 PM

I first thought that it would just a ''S'' but so yeah. :/ $ is suitable.

ChrisTom February 8th, 2010 3:29 PM

Yeah, I always think it's weird how gyms are shaped. Falkner does seem to be a bit of a rich brat type, so it does seem to-

Wait...

Rewind;

Same here. Maybe I'm not a money fan.

ChrisTom February 8th, 2010 3:59 PM

See, now the last 2 posts are just copying off of me!!

Seriously guys! Not Cool!

Don't say something just because I say it!! Then it looks like I was copying off of you! And I don't like that!

Oh, ChrisTom, hold your ego! =P

Don't you think that Clefairy is shocking enough to make other people surprised too??

Munch Dog February 8th, 2010 5:21 PM

I never noticed it either actually...

But I have always noticed the Dollar Sign in Falkner's gym ever since I first got Gold when I was 8 or so.

GlitchCity February 8th, 2010 6:03 PM

xDD haha I noticed that in my first playthough. I always wondered why they chose that as the gym design.

Nikorasu February 13th, 2010 3:11 AM

Health and safety and pokemon don't go togeather. I mean look at it, trainers making things fight till their fatigue

Pachireecko February 13th, 2010 3:46 AM

lol, nice find.

I never noticed that.

Lati-Fan95 February 13th, 2010 6:51 AM

Lol Falcner is the first rich boy in Pokemon...^^ I've never realized that, really, pretty weird... Maybe Nintendo thought about all the money they'll make! xD

And Whitney's gym is a giant Clefairy? OMA, she sure loves her little Clefairy!^^ Lol after I read the whole things here I'm starting to feel a bit nooby...

mr hello February 13th, 2010 6:56 AM

he he awesome
hhmmmm its weird..

Ayselipera February 13th, 2010 8:21 AM

I never noticed since the last time I played gsc I must of been 8 or so. Looking at it now though I see it. How interesting.

Dunsparce February 13th, 2010 12:26 PM

I always thought the Clefairy thing was a well-known fact. Seeing this thread, I guess it wasn't.

jigglyppuff8 February 13th, 2010 12:31 PM

Wait, this is Japan. Why would they use $? Wouldn't it make more sense to use ¥?

I learned about the Clefairy thing last summer. :x

Houndoom19 February 13th, 2010 2:19 PM

I highly doubt it's meant to represent an actual dollar sign, just a happy coincidence. It's probably not even meant to be an 'S', just a simple 'puzzle' to get you started with gyms. Like the poster above said, it's Japan, they don't use dollars there. To be honest though, I never actually made the connection until I saw this thread.

As for the clefairy: *mind is blown* That is freakin' awesome! XD

Munch Dog February 23rd, 2010 5:02 AM

Yeah, I don't think it was intentional either, just a funny coincidence. You can't really deny the resemblance though. :p

Sydian February 23rd, 2010 7:21 PM

I needed this thread tonight...that's epic. Thanks<333

I find this to be a more interesting observation.

Though I suppose it's still less dangerous than freaking lava or falling through ice into some dungeon below the gym.

Well, maybe not that second one.
