Do you tip?
 
When people do certain services for you in Pokémon X and Y, you get to hand tips over to them. Tipping don't necessarily do anything, but theory has it that by doing this, you'd be increasing your shiny encounter rate. So, anyhow, what do you think about tipping? Have you done it before? If so, then what's the largest amount of cash that you've ever tipped? :p

SamStyle April 17th, 2014 2:03 AM

I always tip the largest amount i can

Banned April 17th, 2014 2:28 AM

Yeah, I always tip the maximum amount too. I have too much money :P Earlier on when I had just started the game I often chose the smaller amounts, but I don't think I ever refused to give a tip.

CliCliW April 17th, 2014 2:41 AM

As far as I'm aware, tipping increases how stylish you're rated, I don't know your shiny encounter rate....... Stylishness allows you to get discounts and things in Lumiose city though :)

I always give a tip and I always give the highest amount possible :) I would love if it increased your shiny encounter rate though :)

I accidentally refuse a tip in Le Wow sometimes because it's automatically on "no" when i'm mashing a to get her to shut up so i can save

so whether or not you spam A or B there you're going to refuse to tip :P That happened to me once at the very start when I didn't realise I'd be asked to tip, and I refused, then I felt so bad I talked to them all over again so I could tip them :P

I always tip the middle rate if I can afford it.

exactly it's a trap that get's my like 50% of the time

Hikamaru April 17th, 2014 5:09 AM

I tend to tip the highest amount available, and I don't really have issues raising my money now given I've been hitting the 9,999,999 cap anyway. I did manage to unlock tipping 10,000 Pokedollars in Restaurant Le Nah which I guess happens when you unlock that star next to certain battles in the restaurants.

Belldandy April 17th, 2014 9:11 AM

I always tip the highest amount. I think I'm banked on P$3.5m right now, so I'm pretty good to go.

Captain Barnacle April 18th, 2014 6:36 AM

Either tip lowest rate or middle rate. Didn't tip the old man who tells you the story in a house the players friends believed was haunted though.

MusikMaestro April 18th, 2014 12:03 PM

I've never tipped, and if all it does is increase stylishness, I'm glad. Its way easier to just visit all the cafes.

Altairis April 18th, 2014 9:18 PM

Wow now I feel bad about myself D: I never tip in XY. Too poor for that, I need my money :(

Zaerog April 19th, 2014 11:51 AM

Money really isn't an issue for me but I was wondering, how do you check how "stylish" you are? I can't access the clothing stores in Lumiose and Mega Stones cost 500k each.. O.o

MusikMaestro April 19th, 2014 1:10 PM

Visiting all the Cafés is a good start. It's definitely enough to get you in to the Boutique.

Otherwise, just check the price of the Mega-Stones. The lower the better. The lowest they go is 10,000, I think.

Gus_ April 19th, 2014 4:09 PM

I used to not tip because, well, they're not real, but at a certain point I became either rich enough or guilty enough to start tipping the max amount. Not sure which :P

Pendraflare April 19th, 2014 6:01 PM

I like to tip often, mostly because i'm a nice guy. I remember the first time I was in that scary house on Route 14 I was going to tip (as ridiculous as I thought it was) but accidentally said no. xP Although yeah, I don't mind doing it. I like throwing away money.

Ghost Lunis April 19th, 2014 6:04 PM

I always tipped when prompted but it was usually only the smallest amount.

Jakeremix April 19th, 2014 6:25 PM

Isn't it ironic how they introduce tipping in the region that's based on France? (They don't tip in France)

Anyway, I'm at Le Wow all of the time so I get my tipping in there, but there are many times when I accidentally say no.

Firox April 19th, 2014 7:23 PM

Don't know why, but being the good guy I am, I always tip, preferably the largest amount - even if tipping doesn't do anything I just do it, my grandma taught me to be a respectful person... on occasions I do forget like SamStyle mentioned above me:
especially when I'm rushing to save my journey.

That happens a lot to me, just like you mention, when I'm desperate to save my journey.

Nihilego April 20th, 2014 1:30 AM

What does style actually do for you anyway? Like, are there benefits to being considered highly stylish? Is it worth the money?

I don't tip because I've not heard of any benefits of doing so. There were rumours of it boosting shiny rates, but I don't think those were ever confirmed - do correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Cerberus87 April 20th, 2014 1:42 AM

Apparently style makes discounts more frequent but I'm not sure.

I always give the small tips. I can't refuse some of them either. The lost Furfrou is one of them.

Off of the top of my head (meaning there's probably more that I don't remember), being stylish...
-gets you into the Sushi High Roller
-gets you into the fancy clothing store
-lowers the prices of the mega stones in the Stone Emporium by A LOT
-lowers the prices of cabs

Also, the higher shiny rate in the Friend Safari was never confirmed either. :P

Captain Barnacle April 20th, 2014 7:33 AM

They never had any sense of style in my character's clothes :(

mangamusicfan April 21st, 2014 2:29 AM

Yup always do.
Don't know why though
