So I just had a foot surgery yesterday, and have been out of it, I've been playing my ds all throughout the day when waking up from my pain pill haze, and this may be the pills, but I thought of something, I'm sure that a lot of you do this, but do you abuse the bridge to Driftveil?

That's all I have been doing when awake XD

Anyone else do this? They can sell for a solid amount or strengthen your pokemon :D
Yeah, Yeah, I'll do it later...

The wings? I dunno what that's for nor do I want them. I barely walk on the bridges anyway. I try and avoid feathers 'cause sometimes wild Pokemon pop out.
Feathers grant +1 EV in a certain stat, except the Pretty Wing, which just costs a lot.

If I don't decide to use fly to get around Unova and I happen to be on the bridge I'd grab a few feathers here and there, as they appear. They do have a useful purpose when EV training so I don't sell them, except the Pretty Wing since it's just...there looking pretty. :(

They make me money, so I sell them. :3 On Black that is, since if I felt like ev training properly I would've used vitamins instead of the feathers for higher ev gain, so...

But really, great source of money.

I always hoard those wings/feathers when I'm in need of money--it's my main source of income. I don't need them for EV training anyways since I'm pretty content with doing that the usual way (Power Item+Battling a certain type of Pokemon over and over).

Pretty Wings don't sell for much but I've put them to use too by making hatched Pokemon with Good IVs hold them as a marker.

Not really, I think I may have spent time there once looking for wings. It's just a bit too time consuming for me to do until I get a sufficient number of them.

I usually abuse the bridge ever since I found out that the bridge had feathers because I love seeing how many of each wing I can get before I sell them

That's genius, haha. I'm going to rip that from you if you don't mind.

I spent time collecting a lot of wings at the beginning of the game but I have the power items now so EV training has become a lot more efficient. Much more than wing collecting anyway. The only thing I really abuse bridges for now is egg-hatching. They're perfect for that! Skyarrow Bridge is exactly 491 steps from one end to the other so I'm able to keep track of how many times I travel across it and then back again; that would count as one bridge-cycle. I'd round up one bridge cycle to 1,000 steps for simplicity. It makes hatching a lot more bearable when you know how many steps there are left.

I used to, but I don't really don't care about the wings anymore. But I used to abuse Skyarrow Bridge to hatch eggs easier.
