Trashcans
 
Do you remember rifling through those little trash cans, back in the olden games to see if any goodies were inside? And when you did..and got something, the joy? Well I do! And yet, in B/W..It seems as if doing so is fruitless. Every trash can I raid turns up with nothing...So sad *cries*. What do you guys think?:P

Oryx April 19th, 2011 9:16 PM

There's something near Victini IIRC. But yeah, there really aren't many trash can items in this game and it's kind of silly...it's like, we've been trained from day 1 to do things a certain way, and then they make that pointless.

Seeds Horizon April 19th, 2011 9:19 PM

Yeah, in any game I absolutely detest the item finders..I find them sort of pointless unless you keep it on the WHOLE time your running around, or if you use a walkthrough, though you wouldnt need one then..*shrugs* And I know right? I remember in Yellow just going through each and every trash can or plant pot or w/e just looking for those Potions, or whatever..And then I play White..and BAM! No trash can items yet :/

Giraffe April 19th, 2011 10:03 PM

I've looked in almost every trashcan I've come across, & haven't found an item so far! D;

Azure Revolver April 19th, 2011 10:38 PM

I know right? I hate how much less things you can find now. I only found 1 item after 4 playthroughs in a trash can, I eventually gave up looking in them altogether.

Misheard Whisper April 20th, 2011 1:52 AM

Yeah, I always hit up trash cans when I find them, but I've not found anything since FireRed.

Fiendly April 20th, 2011 2:39 AM

Had luck with one.
It was an antidote -_-..

Yay, Antidote. X'D

Anyway, it's a shame trash cans aren't as useful as they were, but at least they weren't used as a Gym Puzzle this time around. >.>

PlatinumDude April 20th, 2011 4:10 AM

I never took the time to look in the trash cans throughout Unova because I know that nothing will be in them.

Spherical Ice April 20th, 2011 4:15 AM

I think I found a couple of berries in Black and White, but they've certainly decreased the chance of getting an item. Oh well, at least rummaging through trash cans can kill time I guess XD

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ April 20th, 2011 4:35 AM

I do it as a force of habit from previous games and it's kinda disheartening that I haven't come up with a single item to reward my efforts...

Zeffy April 20th, 2011 4:43 AM

I don't really care about the trash cans, tbh. I wouldn't rummage through trash bins in hoping of finding something.

~Ryukaa April 20th, 2011 5:34 AM

I was actually excited when I saw the trashcans in BW.
"Oh nice! They brought them back!"
But yeah, like everybody has said, the chance of finding items in them is extremely low.
...It was disappointing. :<

EJ April 20th, 2011 5:35 AM

Well that's more realistic in a sense....how often do we go through trashcans in real life and find rare and/or usable items? hah

Seeds Horizon April 20th, 2011 5:42 AM

I go through them all the time..Never know, might find a slice of pizza (>'.')>. But I mean, they were one of the little things about Pokemon that made my day. Going through a trashcan..Finding a Pokeball, was happy for the rest of the day. But now, I go through every one I see and then disappointment..But I wont give up lol, ill keep looking through them for that one item I may get..XD.

NamelessGuy April 20th, 2011 5:48 AM

I spent about an hour relentlessly rooting through trash cans in hopes of finding something half decent.

I was rewarded with a freakin' Potion.

Bloo April 20th, 2011 7:38 AM

I had a habit of looking through trash cans to see what was in them before Black and White, so when I started to play White, a always looked through trash cans to see what's inside, and I still do, but I've only found something once, and they're definitely in decline. To be honest, I don't really care that they're gone, I just thought they were a useful part of the game.

Sarahmint April 20th, 2011 7:58 AM

The trash can on Victini's island has something.

JP April 20th, 2011 8:18 AM

This really bothered me. On my first playthrough, I went to look into every trash can I passed and almost every time there was nothing in them. It just kinda seems useless to have them if for the most part, they've got nothing in them. It does add a bit of realism to the rooms, but I just don't think they're necessary at this point.

Ho-Oh April 21st, 2011 3:50 AM

Like the others, I expected there to be trashcans with items in them, but I don't mind, the amount of items found through the dowsing machine in general makes up for that. :D

Zelda April 21st, 2011 3:58 AM

I used to check the trash cans around many times, but often I forget to. I think I've only ever found an item in one once.

Yeah, I had been doing that all the time, but didn't find anything at all!!! Now, I just use my itemfinder not to lose hours speaking to trashcans. Nothing yet lol...

Rai April 21st, 2011 10:00 AM

I have always loved looking in trashcans for items. I always laughed when I looked into the captain's trashcan on the St. Anne xD

But it upsets me that there is barely anything in the trashcans in B/W. I did, however, find an Ultra Ball in a trashcan at Liberty Garden which came in hand when catching Victini :>

ZeviL April 21st, 2011 11:06 AM

It's because everyone in B/W throws stuff around instead of in the proper place, the trash bin. They should be fined for littering.

Thougar April 21st, 2011 3:03 PM

I dont remember which game, although i wana say gold/silver, that i got a LEFTOVERS from a can. Leftovers is my favorite item btw.
