Have you ever felt guilty for hurting Audino?
 

As you'd know, you can find Audino in shaking grass. However, this question isn't related to that, and instead wondering if you feel a little bad for hurting Audino? It gives you a lot of HP, and when it's at a higher level, uses Heal Pulse, which heals your HP. It also has the nurse role, meaning it wants to "help" you and when you attack it... yeah.

I dunno, I feel bad when hurting Audino, especially after it uses Heal Pulse, anyone else feel the same? XD Or does hurting Audino have no effect upon you whatsoever? Just kinda curious what you guys think. And if you haven't run into Audino, then there's no point to you posting, unless you know whether you'd feel bad or not. :(

And yes I'm aware that this is a Pokemon, but still, it's possible for you to feel a little guilty.

I see it as a way to gain EXP, much like any other Pokemon I knock out for the EXP. I don't feel guilty about it at all lol, after all... it's one of its main purposes.

Zhinc March 28th, 2011 6:57 AM

You know, I never thought much about it...I suppose if it wasn't pixels, I would be heart-broken but, uh...experience is experience.

Oh, and I love how N is creeping in the last panel of that comic there. So in character. xD

solarowl March 28th, 2011 6:59 AM

I guess I feel kind of bad for beating it so many times. It uses Take Down then Heal Pulse so... :/
It just uses all those moves that have no effect, but exp's exp.

Regeneration March 28th, 2011 6:59 AM

I love Audino so much that I've never battled one. :)

BenjiTheKid March 28th, 2011 6:59 AM

Not really, but since you've put it that way... I feel like I should. xD I always just defeat it because it gives good EXP to do so.

Oryx March 28th, 2011 6:59 AM

I didn't feel guilty until now. Thanks ;~;

Opposite Day March 28th, 2011 7:00 AM

I remember trying out Audino grinding for the first time at like route 10, walking up and down next to the grass, spraying myself with repel in order to hold off the shrooms, and it basically went like this:
- attack it
- it heals me
- I CAN'T DO THIS

never done that again

Giraffe March 28th, 2011 7:11 AM

Aww... Yes, I do now. Such a sweet Pokemon. x33
Shame there isn't an uglier Pokemon that gave you lots of EXP... Like Throh/Sawk - I wouldn't feel guilty at all for defeating a pile of them!

Heart Gold March 28th, 2011 7:14 AM

Nope, all they do is Double Slap me!!! They always knock out my precious Snivy (soon to be an even more precious Servine, my fave evo <3)

I've developed an anger towards them. That comic is awesome though!

blue March 28th, 2011 7:14 AM

It looks really innocent & cute so I always feel guilty after defeating one, especially after it tries helping me and using Heal Pulse, and that picture didn't help me feel any better about it D:

Mujahid March 28th, 2011 7:51 AM

They never use healing pulse against me so i have a reason to kill them :badsmile:.Evil Audinos

Skaterzpenguin March 28th, 2011 7:59 AM

I never felt guilty... Its a video game... I caught one, and when ever I battle one again I kill it and gain good Exp. points from battling it. ;p

DayDreamer March 28th, 2011 8:05 AM

No. I see it as a masochist. Those moves. Those base stat. The exp it gives. Not killing it is an insult to it! IT WANTS TO BE KILLED!

Lol @ comic.

Devil Flamingo March 28th, 2011 8:09 AM

I felt bad for like... 3~5 minutes, then I remember how evil they've been to my Pokemon when they were young (and weaker) so nope, not feeling bad. Plus I hold a grudge against the thing for having Regenerator (my fave BW ability) while being a worse Clefable/Wigglytuff (i.e. b/c it has no offense to speak of). Plus it's a creepy nurse-alien-faery thing. What's not to hate? I find it disturbing. XD The only healing Pokemon in Unova that I love love love is Alomomola, b/c she's so gorgeous. <3

Arumus March 28th, 2011 8:09 AM

I don't have much care for it, it annoys me somehow. No idea why.

pokewalker March 28th, 2011 8:09 AM

After all, GF made Audino for EXP purpose only. (an NPC confirms that in Nacrene City's PokeCentre) It only excists of some bytes, nothing more, so why not knock it out? If you beat one whilst your Pokemon is holding a Lucky Egg and the EXP. Power S is activated, I once managed to get 11406 EXP for it. ( :o ) And no, I've never felt guilty for it. It's just a stupid ugly beast :bandit:

Tropical Sunlight March 28th, 2011 8:09 AM

Nope, didn't feel bad for it.

Note how the answers differ between male and female PC members :P

Autaven March 28th, 2011 8:14 AM

I just peed my pants at that picture, hahahahahahaha actually too funny. I feel bad now, yes :P

Red Scizor March 28th, 2011 8:23 AM

Nope.

And I never will. giving so many exp is asking to be hurt

amberrelf March 28th, 2011 9:35 AM


Well, considering I have an Audino in my party...
Yeah, I do feel kinda bad that her brethren have all become my adorable little punching bags. XD
Michal doesn't give a crap, however; she's heartless.

Misheard Whisper March 28th, 2011 9:37 AM

I've killed one or two in my time, and I've never been Heal Pulsed. *shrug* I feel no guilt.

EJ March 28th, 2011 9:42 AM

They never bother to heal me...

...then again they never get a chance to attack because of my level. :#

Aquacorde March 28th, 2011 9:48 AM

I feel terribly guilty, all the time. ;-; I love Audino, have one in my party (Joyyy~)... but I need the exp. And it makes me sad. :(

レイジングブラスト March 28th, 2011 10:03 AM

Just when I thought I was the only one who thought this, I came across this. I tend to feel pretty low when I KO Audino because it's a Pokemon that just wants to help you out but I know I gotta get that EXP so I unfortunately have to keep knocking them out. I usually only battle them when I'm in desperate need for a quick level up for a new move because they give way too many HP EVs after a while.
