Whats so good about Casteliacones?
In Castelia City there's always this long line for this dessert. I'm guessing you'll be able to purchase a Cone if your lucky enough to go there when there's no line but what does a Casteliacone do for your pokemon?
|
|
I haven't yet bought one ;o; I keep forgetting the day I need to visit the store XD
|
You can get 2,000 poke if you give it to the collector on route 5. It's not much though and there are much better and easier ways to get money in this game. I would just consider it a novelty because full heals are way cheaper.
|
Wow I never knew about this Casteliacone thing.. I guess I should check it out haha!
|
Everyone likes them so much because they're trying to make those horrid ice cream Pokemon go extinct! You all need to join the cause!
I always wondered... Why does your character stick the ice cream in his/her bag? |
And that Old Gateau must taste horrible after being in the bag so long, too. Ugh.
|
It looks good is well but it would taste horrible if it has been in your bag for ages.
|
I've never bought it but I think I'll reconsider it now 'cause it looks pretty cool :D
Another Lava Cookie-style item =) |
I just think its one of those items that do the same job as the Full Heal but they're fun and different. Gateau, ice cream and cookies are everyday foods we would eat so it makes Pokémon seem a little more realistic that they might eat them too :D
That's my guess anyways ^^; |
I haven't purchased it yet, but the fact that it's actually seemingly rare (by it being sold out and people waiting in line for it) makes it seem more realistic (that is, adding onto the realism mentioned in the previous post) as opposed to old ladies, or shopping centres, or other places that give them out. Plus the name sounds kind of amusing. :D

Anyway I just like collecting Casteliacones. I don't know why :D |
What day do u buy them???
|
I've never managed to buy one. I got there at like 9am this morning, but they were all sold out (again)! I just thought you were never able to buy one, but I guess you can. xD

I only got one cone so far...and used it up that same day xD |

Didn't know about the collector that buys them though. Might go sell him one just to say I've done it. |

there items that stauts and are bought on tuesdays
|
I haven't bought one yet, they're always sold out. D:
I'm guessing they had these cones to represent Vanillite. In fact, why don't they just sell Vanillite instead? I believe those would be more tasty. I wonder what happens if you gave a cone to a Vanillite. XD Cannibalism. |
Nothing is really that special about them. They are just glorified Full Heals like Old Gateaus and Lava Cookies.
|
I found out yesterday they can't be purchased in Winter. :( So disappointing! I wanted to sell another for money, oh well, I'll wait until next month... :(
(I'm not using the one I have/had btw lol) |

Casteliacones are supposed to be the Unova counterpart of the Lava Cookie and the Old Gateau. They're also cheaper versions of the Full Heal that are only available on certain days.
|
I never thought that you could buy one of those... >_> It just seemed so good because everytime I went to Castelia, they always say that they've sold-out.
|
Absolutely nothing is special about them, they are pretty much the equivalent of the Lava Cookie from Gen III- a fancy looking Full Heal.
They do look yumalicious, though. |
don't they work while held unlike Full Heals though?
|
its disappointing that they arent sold in winter.
i never knew they could be sold out either. i always got one everytime i went there. |
Darn, I kept forgetting on Tuesdays, and now it's Winter! I'll just buy some next month then.
I like them for the novelty. |
Didnt know it even existed xD
Must give it a look see. What day should you go on?? |
Damn it, I forgot to buy one and now it's Winter. D8

You know what would be funny? If in Grey/Gray/Rainbow they make Chocolate Casteliacones that function as a reskinned Sacred Ash. Now that would be kickass.
Noob out. |
It's winter now, and I keep forgetting to go there on Tuseday. It's a bit stupid how they are just a glorified full heal, so I won't bother with getting one unless I really have nothing else to do.
|
I think it's more like a Lum Berry, just like the Chocolates are more like glorified berry juice.
both food that activates while held. |
Before reading this thread..I didn't know they only sold Castelicones on Tuesdays. D: I was going everyday and kept getting a "They're sold out". One more day and they'll go on sell again. :D ..on Tuesdays.
|
Quick question. Can you buy more than one on the same day? I thought they were unobtainable any day of the week.
|
lol they are real pointless all right, I was so excited to finnaly buy one, but then I saw what it did and I was all like "Dude seriously thats it?" and then to prove a point to myself I went and bought like 300 full heals lol:P
|
Hmm... They can heal status effects in battles and be sold for a good price at Route 5. Though, if you are looking for healing items, Full Heals are better in the sense that they can be bought in batches. Oh, and one Casteliacone per Tuesday in non-winter seasons. That's it. No wonder why it's better to sell it.
As for me? I left it in the bag since I bought them. |
They're delicious. They're also made from the salvaged remains of a million slain Vanillite, but at least there's sprinkles.

They heal yer Pokemon bye 50hp points. Suu nuttin speshal hurr. (= =)
|
Well, I like them as I'm an OCD guy in his pokémon: I only use regional poké balls (good in Johto, problematic in Hoenn, even worse in Sinnoh), use regional items (Lava Cookie > Full Heal in Hoenn etc.), and consider the Master Ball to be a "Mewtwo Ball" - I only use it on Mewtwo, as that's the only pokémon caught with it in Pokémon Adventures.
So to me, it's a regional item that I always have to have at least one of them in my bag. |

I've bought one. That's because I arrived at Castelia on Tuesday, what a coincidence.
I didn't even take a look at it until I saw Bulbapedia saying it looks like Vanillite. Then I found it tasty. It's quite romantic to me though (perhaps because I read some fan fiction). |
Well, they taste pretty good I bet. Shame you can't rip them out of the DS console and eat 'em, though. XD

I think its just a novelty item, and I've only bought one. I also think that the bag has a special ice cream cone holder, either for you Vanilluxe or you Casteliacone.
|
I think this cone symbolizes perfectly the obsession we tend to have for nearly insignificant items and products in our own consumer society.
