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

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.

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 :/

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

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. >.>

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

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...

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.

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

I was rewarded with a freakin' Potion.

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.

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.

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

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...

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 :>
