Well, have you taken the time to collect a ton of ash?

Have you ever kept dousing yourself with repels to keep going down Route 113 in Hoenn to collect a bunch of Volcanic ash to get those special items made by Glass Workshop?

And how long did it take you before you were sick of it?
All that pacing, back and forth, covering yourself with ash and being cold... so, coooooolllllllldddddddd.....

All those Spinda, Skarmory... the occasional Sandshrew... and Slugma exclusive to Emerald... so... coooooolllllllllldddddddddd.....

er, right.
So, how was collecting ash for you?

If I'm there and want the Black Flute, I always grind there instead of walking with Repels. Since Spinda is so extremely common at that place, it's a paradise for things that need Sp.A EVs, even though I never do any serious EV training, I still utilize this quite often.

I used it for Special Attack EV training only. The ash items (like Ash the anime character) aren't worth my time or effort. But with all the EV training I used to do there I might have enough ash for something. Now where did I put my Emerald...?

I think I seriously started collecting ash for the pretty chair and desk in my last playthrough of Sapphire. I repelled myself and wandered about for a good while... and for some reason it didn't bother me at all. o_o *freak*

I didn't get enough ash, but as far as I'm concerned, I have all the time in the world to go ash-collecting now that I've beaten the Elite Four.

I guess I'm a freak as well. On my first playthrough in Sapphire when I was about 8 years old, I actually saved up enough ash for the pretty chair and desk. If I remember correctly, I think I also got enough ash to get at least one of each of the flutes. I guess I was really patient.

I don't think I have that patience anymore. Actually, wait. I know that I'm not patient enough anymore.

Dude I hated that place, I personally think it is not only the ugliest place in RSE but that the pokemon there are also the ugliest ones in RSE. Gawrd I remember trying to get everything on that damned list, I spent at least a good 20 hours total in that one place... pacing back and fort, back... and then forth.... then back again. Freagin items weren't even worth it.
Hi, don't click em too much, they can die because of that, otherwise seeing them on this page is good nuff.

Pokestick, good times.

Everytime I play emerald (Or Ruby or Saphire) I make it a point to train my pokemon on those routes just to get the Blue and Yellow flutes. If I get lucky, maybe the Red Flute to. I couldn't care less about the rest though.

I actually train there for a long time anyway, so I end up with a lot of ash. I need a Blue, Red, and Yellow Flute before I advance. But that's just me.

Oh yeah, I remember that, and I found it very annoying. I remember breaking it down into a science, finding the perfect path so that I could walk over every patch in the shortest amount of time, and then leave the area and come back. I repeated this process until I had all the items. =D

And seeing as I've kept the items ever since(even trading some to my 4th gen games), I'll conclude that it was worth it! :D

o_o You can trade the items over to DPPt/HGSS? Whoa... I didn't think that Game Freak had considered such a possibility, although I guess it'd make sense to program the items in should that occur.

Oh SNAP ! , not that place ! >_<

It was me whos stood an entire night with his GBA in his hand trying to get that Glass Table . Then , at 3 AM or so after walking like a crazy Triathlon Guy who tries to beat his master , I went to the Glass Shop (or whatever ...) NOTE : My battery was red ....

"You still need 1 more step for that item " NOTE : I was holding my finger over the light since it annoys me .

Goes out on the door , keeping calm ... then guess what ?
You guessed ?
GREAT !
If it's correct , my battery ran out !

So ..... SUICIDES !!!

How would you feel ? I was so horrible mooded that next day at school that I got a C in Maths . Since then , I never walked around that place , except when I replay RSE so I can reach Fallarbor and, respectively, Meteor Falls .

I'm still like : >>____<<
