The Phone Calls...
 
About the PokeGear Phone Calls....what do you think about them?

I'm scared to pick up a call from the Fisherman near Violet City, who says he likes that he made a *younger friend* And when I rejected one, the Hiker near Azalea, said he was going to cry in the Mountains....

THIS GAME....

1. We already had some similiar stuff when you choose you are the "Grass" type by some NPC from Jublife. (He/She says "You choose the Grass type? No wonder you look so calm!")

2. CRY SOME MOAR
BTW, I don't see a reason to NOT get that Hiker. He's my favorite Phone guy. Dunsparce at Dark Cave ftw.

Yeah, its just a bunch of pedos and weak Ratata-battlers that brag about their level 13s. :|

umbreon_4_life March 17th, 2010 1:37 PM

Yeah, I don't like rejecting them, so I say yes to all of them, which I should probably stop doing.

TheGearofWar March 17th, 2010 1:46 PM

As I read this thread, I got a phone call from the Beverly PokéManiac in National Park saying that she had a Nugget for me.

Oh ya.

That, and it's the only other way to get Stones besides the Bug-Catching Contest and Bill's gramps, I believe. And it tickles my funny bone when one trainer goes on how his Poliwag "May even look tougher than me!"

Hahah ! I just got her number about 15mins ago. I don't know who is but he keeps calling talking about his HootHoot and how he trade it away and about how he trade a new hoothoot *I'm guessing later on* that looks the same as his old hoothoot but it just was not his hoothoot. I feel like calling him back and sayin "If your crying to me about it why you trade him anyways!?!?!"

Jweeson March 17th, 2010 2:14 PM

My friend literally said:

"The first thing I did after getting fly was to fly home and tell that b**** not to save my money anymore!"

In don't mind as much, because she bought me a moon stone. :)

Shady Soldier March 17th, 2010 2:18 PM

i hate the phone calls and as far as the phone calls i find most of them annoying

TheAppleFreak March 17th, 2010 3:08 PM

At this point, I'm seriously considering blocking every phone call that comes through to me. It's just like in Emerald, where the following happens every time:
*takes a step, phone rings*
Hi, it's me! A trainer who you battled a really long time ago and completely forgot about, I wanted to tell you that something totally uneventful occured today that you probably won't care about! *click*
*takes another step*

You can probably get what keeps occurring. The only good calls are those from your Mom, when she buys you something good, or from the Day-care people.

Corazón March 17th, 2010 3:27 PM

Its good, other then having "Mother" calling you every five minutes. -.-

Xadet March 17th, 2010 3:54 PM

Phone Calls, God, I Restarted my Game today to try the Unevolved Challenge.
Got 1 Trainer phone number. Haven't even beat the first gym [Leveling Mareep to 10 to get Thundershock.]
And the guys called me like 10 times about his Rattata. and before that.
I'd get like. 1 phonecall the hour. D:

Shauna March 17th, 2010 5:45 PM

I hate how Joey keeps calling me about his rattata that's superior to all other rattatas. God I want to just tell him I don't care!

Me too, I can't stand that guy. I never answer Joey's calls. He's just so annoying. I wish there was an ignore button on the phone. I don't want to just walk into a building or enter a battle just to get it to stop ringing.

lol, yeah I've gotten sooooo many phone calls from him! Not even funny.

Human March 17th, 2010 5:56 PM

They make me laugh. I don't accept everyone who asks me, because I can only hear so much about a wild pokemon someone I don't care about almost caught, but I like the concept. After all, who goes to like a million different places without calling a single person the whole time?

Lt_Nite March 17th, 2010 7:01 PM

I decline everyone now because they're so annoying.
"Hey I just saw a Oddish but it ran away, darn!"
Me: Congrats, you must feel SOOOO proud.

Yeah I don't really like it too much but just me.

Imperator161 March 17th, 2010 7:13 PM

I'm not that far, so I don't have too many phone numbers yet, but I'll admit, they're starting to get annoying. Wade gave me a Persim Berry, but most of my other calls have been from Joey about Rattata or from Fisherman Ralph about how he spends more time with his fish than with his family. I'm enjoying the feature now, but I can see it getting old by the time I get farther into the game (I have two badges right now).

Calder March 17th, 2010 7:29 PM

I like the ones later that tell you how badass you are and stuff...and i always answer for fear of missing a rebattle :(

God, that creeped me out, too. I was like "... :(" but accepted anyway. I'm surprised your mother gives you this phone, with all of the weird people that can call you.

I accept everyone, click when they call, and just glaze over it. I'm kind of hoping one day someone will get me something awesome. I guess. That and I hate rejecting people, even though they're not real and all.

I'm kind of used to this thing by now, since I played GSC and RSE, and it actually doesn't bother me as much. If anything, I'm more bothered that I have to click on the Pokegear to listen to them talk about something I don't care about... I'm crazy, but if the phone's going to ring, it might as well just pop up for me. I'm lazy. :(

rockman0 March 17th, 2010 9:04 PM

I actually enjoy the phone calls. I find them hilarious. Plus, I'm always getting awesome stuff. The hiker gave me a big mushroom. Mom has bought me tons of good berries, a focus sash, silk scarf and other stat boosting items. I don't really mind it at all. Still haven't gotten a rebattle though...

Tanaki March 17th, 2010 9:44 PM

It's a neat feature and all but I'm wary of who I give my number to. I really only give them my number if there's something in it for me. If they're just gonna call for the sake of calling I do not want their numbers.

bobandbill March 18th, 2010 3:02 AM

I like them - I never minded the convos too much and if you don't want to answer something you can just ignore it - check your party or walk into a building or somthing and it'll be gone. Plus free stuff is always nice like the evolution stones... note also that some even give you stuff like Proteins after you battle them when they call you for a battle.

Mum could call a bit less to tell me she bought me a berry though. =P Some I also find amusing, like Anthony the Hiker telling me how he got distracted from battling by a passing Beauty and should stay more focused on the job at hand next time. XD And then there's this:

Hey, do you remember my super-cool RATTATA? My RATTATA is different from regular RATTATA. It's like my RATTATA is in the top percentage of RATTATA. Do you know what I'm saying?

linkinpark187 March 18th, 2010 3:27 AM

I'd be more willing to use Ratatta if it wasn't for Team Rocket and their overabundant annoyance in the wild. Ever since Red & Blue, they've been very unappealing to me. lol

I do think that the phone system is great, but Nintendo should have limited it to if someone wanted to battle, give you an item, or tell you about how a bunch of Pokémon are all of sudden showing up at a certain route.

BHwolfgang March 18th, 2010 3:45 AM

It's actually fun to recieve phone calls from other trainers. :] At least I know that they are caring enough to call a lone traveler. ;; Besides, they'll ask me for a rematch... one day.
