Voltorb Flip or Slot Machines?
 
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?

The flip is fun, I played it all last night which I did not do with the Slots.

Eurydice March 15th, 2010 2:43 PM

Nashton March 15th, 2010 3:16 PM

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.

TheAppleFreak March 15th, 2010 4:06 PM

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.

Zeta Sukuna March 15th, 2010 4:29 PM

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.)

BLAZEQUAZA March 15th, 2010 4:35 PM

Definitely Flip, I played for about two hours straight but the slots took me 15 minutes to get bored

Luck March 15th, 2010 4:38 PM

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.

xKamui March 15th, 2010 4:38 PM

slots, i have the jp version of soul silver and the new slots are pretty awesome.

Just like real life

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

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.

Niprop March 15th, 2010 5:46 PM

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".

Team Rocket's Raichu March 15th, 2010 7:23 PM

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

Distortion World March 15th, 2010 8:22 PM

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?

Yusshin March 15th, 2010 8:55 PM

I can score 777 on the slots easily so I am a bit bummed out that they're gone.

Not a huge deal, though.

Panfisha March 15th, 2010 9:16 PM

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.

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.

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

кιd March 15th, 2010 9:50 PM

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

Masterge77 March 16th, 2010 3:21 AM

Forget this Voltorb game, The slots FTW, we need it to be more Las Vegas-Styled

They always send such weak responses like that, they're just trying to torture us on purpose despite how mad we are at them

Jennie Chuck is just one of the cronies of the people who did this, Jack Thompson, and Hillary Clinton, notable for hating video games and saying that "video games turn children evil"

And the inside is way too similar to the Pokemon fan club in Vermillion, in fact, I believed they used the same tileset, and the only people in there are 3 senior citizens, old geezers, Europe should have kept their anti-slot laws in Europe and not stick their nose up Americas ass, thus ruining the slots here in the states like Europe did in platinum, sigh, it looks like Platinum is the last time America will see the beautiful slots

bobandbill March 16th, 2010 3:28 AM

I'd suggest not straying from the question and talking about why there are no slots (which has been said many time why in that other thread, although clearly there's still some misconceptions about...Clinton also had naught to do with this! =/), and instead say which you prefer out of the slots or Voltorb flip.

IMO, the slots are better, but they weren't that terribly fun themselves, and the flip ain't half bad. If this is to be the (unfortunate) future for the Game Corner in games, then some more minigames would be nice...

Masterge77 March 16th, 2010 6:24 AM

That's what I was trying to say, that the slots are, were, and always will be better than this voltorb crap they have now....

everglow89 March 16th, 2010 8:09 AM

You guys need to play the Voltorb game more.

I've been playing Pokemon for 12 years and have never played any slots for more than 5 minutes. There's obviously no skill involved and it's too hard to have such good luck.

I started playing the Voltorb Flip game and within 30 minutes I had it down. I can make thousands of coins at no cost in no time which is impossible with slots. I don't even miss the coin sellers.

All I'm saying is have some patience.

Kenny_C.002 March 16th, 2010 9:03 AM

Voltorb flip.

Someone will eventually develop a program to map out flips too. The mathematics behind it should make it highly possible.
