Who do you register on your PokeGear?
 
Every time I play GSC, I find myself always registering the same people. I always register Schoolboy Alan, Picknicker Gina, and Lass Dana, since they can find elemental stones. And there's a Fisher that finds Water Stones, but I don't know his name. I know him on the map if I see him, and I register him too. And then sometimes some other people. But literally, it's always them. So do you find yourself always registering the same people as well?

When I first played, I just registered random people, then had to delete some of them. Now I register the ones who tell me about hordes, the ones who give out stones or free items (I think that's only in Crystal and the newer games, though, not G/S), and maybe a couple with high-leveled Pokemon near the end of the game who I can battle a lot.

The first trainer I registered on my first playthrough was Bug Catcher Wade, and I still like to register him, for old time's sake. Since playing HGSS and realizing how annoying it is not being able to remove phone numbers, though, I've cut back on how many I store in both the older games and the remakes.

On my first run, I'm pretty sure I registered everyone. It was helpful since I needed a bit of grinding done as well. In playthroughs after, I only registered Schoolboy Alan, Picknicker Gina, and Lass Dana, and Fisher Tully (though that was only his name in Crystal).

While I don't remember all of the ones I registered, I do recall that two of the trainers I registered were Hiker Anthony and Bug Catcher Arnie since they inform about outbreaks of Dunsparce and Yanma respectively. I also recall registering Cool Trainer Gaven and Cool Trainer Reena.

Swaggachu April 6th, 2016 9:55 PM

The best ones, obviously.

RegalSin April 19th, 2016 5:38 PM

You need those people for two reasons. A. To have people in the game with level up pokemon to battle. Some of them you keep battling and there levels will rise as you keep battling them.

B. You also need them in order to find the Shineys when the "hordes" are around. Along with items.

Seriously this system was preparing you for the cellphone service but that was only in japan.

TheLegendaryGuy April 21st, 2016 9:31 PM

I always pickniker Gina, the schoolkid in the National park and Cooltrainer Beth.

Schoolboy Chad (aka Professor Oak's Fanboy), Picnicker Liz, and a Bird Keeper on Route 44 (I forgot his name). Nobody in Kanto, since I'd always run out of room in my Pokegear before getting there.

Never Youngster Joey. I made that mistake once, and after deleting him, I refused to ever add him again, even in the remakes.

Del July 4th, 2016 12:56 PM

To be honest, I've been always registering girls with a cute names LOL.

There is in GSC (10 I believe). Not in the remakes.

Ah, I'm probably thinking of the remakes. I believe I registered most of the people who give you rare items, so I could get easy money for the elite 4.

RickGrimes July 4th, 2016 7:03 PM

Youngster Joey. Top percentage of Rattatas, right?

BlissyMKW July 5th, 2016 2:12 AM

When I'm not doing solo runs, I normally just register Youngster Joey because "top percentage of Rattatas." Although, during solo runs, because I'm normally holding down the speedup button, I tend to avoid registering anyone just to help get the game done faster.

BroRarity July 5th, 2016 9:08 AM

Joey (Top % Rattata)
Liz (The first I ever received a phone number from)
Anthony (Because of dat early Machamp at Level 18)
Gina (Bulba Girl + stones)
Alan (Was really good for grinding + stones)
Dana (Ampharos for my dex, + stones)
Chad (Was Oak 3.0 before Birch ever was)

Flower July 5th, 2016 11:34 AM

Schoolboy Alan, Youngster Joey, Picnicker Gina, Lass Dana, Fisher Tully, Hiker Anthony, and Bug Catcher Arnie— from what I recall— were the ones I registered. ^ ^ I just registered randoms for the last three spots in my phone, hah.

Lapis July 5th, 2016 12:19 PM

I don't remember. Pretty darn sure I just registered everyone until I ran out of room on my contacts lol.

Redemptiont July 17th, 2016 6:53 AM

Hmm i have the same problem..

Limey-chan July 17th, 2016 1:17 PM

Normally just the swarm watchers, though in Crystal I registered the trainers who give you free evolution stones.

Squirrel August 6th, 2016 8:23 PM

Usually I forget to register anyone until I reach this one girl in the area that you catch Mareep before Azelea Town (Picnicker Gina I think?) and then I forget again after her. Not sure why she always makes me remember but my phone book is apparently all hers!

TogeKisser August 7th, 2016 7:12 AM

I ussually Accept all Female's phone numbers, 'cause im a playa

EternalSeekerX August 7th, 2016 9:51 AM

I played gold way back in the day and I only registered the first 10 people who gave me numbers. Playing crystal now. I didn't know specific people gave u items and info ( i mean i was in grade 3 then so i was a Lil kid). Any list of the people ?

Also I think hgss you can add everyone since when I played it I never ran into the limit ?

Sirfetch’d August 7th, 2016 5:15 PM

I keep Joey registered for nostalgia. Honestly though, I rarely register anyone else. I've played Crystal so many times that the appeal of having people call you has just worn off. Even the people who give you rare stones aren't worth the bother for me anymore.

Flowerchild August 29th, 2016 1:27 AM

Nobody. I don't need to know that you just caught a Rattata - even if it is in the top whatever percent. As for them finding items... I've never actually observed that. Then again I haven't played much of Gen II. I'll have to try it sometime.

Altairis August 30th, 2016 1:37 PM

Joey! I want to hear more about his rattata. After that I'm pretty sure just a few random people... I know in HGSS I registered everybody.
