Balloon Popping
From Serebii:
Spoiler:
http://www.serebii.net/xy/balloonpopping.jpg So what u guys think about this, i just hope the high prices are items unlocking ingame events :P im tired of breeding and training... |
All of these are going to be the same as the Dream World Mini Games. So far it doesn't state what kinda prizes we can get, I'd assume Potions, certain unobtainable berries and pokeballs, as well as a few battle items.
Only brand new item so far is the event Coupon which isn't really related to the Balloon popping game, but all that does is cut the price of all the clothing stores in half. |

However it looks like the balloon popper game will be playable on Jan 14 |
To be honest, with the information we have, it sounds REALLY stupid and without better rewards it will be completely pointless. I guess that's what we get for playing games they market towards children.

Serebii needs to update their info then because the way they state it, its good for all the stores which is misleading. |
So it is only a one use item, lol what even is the point?

Bargain powers work Level 1: 10% off, Level 2: 25% off, Level 3: 50% off. All last for 3 Minutes and cost 2, 3 and 4 dots. So you can use Level 3 twice. If you have x4 recovery, you can use it in a quick succession as the recharge is really short at x4. And its 1 Transaction. If you don't use the changing booth to buy it all at once (put them on I believe) then its a wasted item. Hoping other items like the coupon are the prizes in the mileage club...just with more substance to their effects. |
At least we finally know what that guy in the Lumiose boutique meant when he said he heard there was a coupon to get everything half price off (yes most likely GF had likely planned to release this one first from the start).

So the Balloon Popping was released today and with it a list of prizes was shown.
Level 1 Prizes: Metal Coat, Prism Scale, Upgrade, Dubious Disc, Deepsea Tooth, Deepsea Scale, Shiny Stone, Dawn Stone, Fire Stone, Kelpsy Berry, and Hondew Berry. Level 2 prizes: King's Rock, Dragon Scale, Electrizer, Magmarizer, Satchet, Oval Stone, Sun Stone, Thunder Stone, Water Stone, Qualot Berry, and Grepa Berry. Level 3 Prizes: Razor Claw, Razor Fang, Protector, Reaper Cloth, Whipped Dream, Everstone, Dusk Stone, Leaf Stone, Pomeg Berry, Tamato Berry. So the Prizes are just Evolutionary Items and Battle Berries. Not really worth playing in IMO. Maybe the next attraction will be better. |
I tried it a couple of times earlier! Fun and simple, and LOTS of cool items and evo-stones that are normally incredibly difficult to get from in-game side games.
My only issue with the set-up at the moment is that they don't explain the point value system, so I didn't understand how to rack up max-points. |

Ok, so I gave the game a few more tries.
A couple beefs I have: 1.) Still have absolutely NO clue what the scoring system is, nor is there a key or list of how to score big. 2.) Score is apparently inconsequential to your prize. I played numerous games, landing C's and B's for most of my final scores, only to receive the lame 3x Berry prizes. Then I was getting C's and D's and being rewarded with evolutionary held-items, interspersed with Berry prizes. The one A grade that I got gave me another crappy Berry prize, and not anything of actual value. |

Is there a way to influence what prize you get? I got berries on level one and a Water Stone on level three. I never got higher than a C rank. I want a Pomeg Berry.
|
From what I noticed, you need to click the fastest and smallest balloons for a higher score. I got A for a 82 points. Prizes do seem to be random though, and while I don't really care about the berries, the evolutionary items are nice.
Also, you get access to more prizes the higher your medal count is. I have 76 medals and have access to the 3 levels of prizes Khrysta posted above; I'm wondering if there are more levels? |

I'm in the same boat. I only have the 3 levels available with 60 something medals. I tried a variety of methods, like popping small, fast balloons, and popping ones that are more covered, collecting all of the same character, etc. It's all random from what I can tell. If the prizes weren't so randomized, or if they gave prize options based on grade, then the game might make more sense. All I wanted was an extra King's Rock, maybe some Sun and Moon stones, without the hassle of trying to mug wild Pokemon with Thief. |
Aw, shame. I was hoping the prizes would include the type gems. But oh well. I'll give this game a go when I get home.
|
This makes Dream World seem enjoyable. The game is not only boring, I also hate the way the page reloads after every game. And I get berries no matter what grade I get.
|
Fairly boring game but I prefer this method of getting evolution stones to the Super training. Way faster and easier to get more items in a shorter period of time.
|
The randomness is very annoying. I'm trying to get Sun Stones and Shiny Stones and I get a bunch of Fire and Water Stones. Sigh.
|
I didn't find the coupon or Balloon activity very appealing, hopefully the future ones brings better items and mini games.
