get out of my house!

[Flowerchild]

do you find yourself entering houses to speak to all the NPCs? how much do you explore houses/side areas overall?

 

[AliceBlaze]

When I play a game for the first time, I speak to every NPC I can find. But when I replay a game, I only talk to those who give me something useful/important.

 

[Drayton]

Only give items or as a part of storyline

 

[blue]

i'll skip over some of them but usually i try to check as many out as possible. nothing better than going into somebody else's house uninvited amirite

 

[Frozocrone]

All y'all are disrespectful for entering people's houses uninvited. Gladion is the only one with a genuine response lol.

That said I'm a trespassing hypocrite.

 

[Sylphiel]

I get antsy if I don't go inside and talk to the npcs. What if they say something important or interesting, and I miss it!

Doesn't matter that I'll probably forget about it soon enough, I must know what they say!

Or there might be things inside with interesting game lore. Can't miss that, of course.

 

[EC]

Only in the first playthrough if I'm going in completely blind, like I did with Moon. Every other game in the series I only go in if there are items worth having. Or in subsequent playthroughs, of course.

 

[Radiating]

I talk to everyone for items and bits of information that could be useful.

 

[Amore]

If it's humanoid, I speak to it. Doesn't matter where. This is mainly because of the first time I ever played LeafGreen, where I didn't get any of the items - Rock Tunnel without Flash, and raising a Dratini without exp. share were a nightmare.

 

[Mawa]

I do! I always talk to every NPC except for games like Pokemon red and blue since I know who I'll have to talk to and the one I don't have to.
I talked to every NPC in Sun after I've beaten the Elite4 and glad I did because I got some items because I was the champion now!

 

[Flowerchild]

see, I find myself doing this less and less in the recent generations where it's no longer necessary to speak to random NPCs to get some of the important items. and then in post-game I feel guilty for skipping so many of the interesting side areas/characters and go back and talk to them all after.

 

[Sirfetch’d]

Whenever I play a new game, I talk to every NPC possible. You never know what type of items you will get from them and a lot of them actually have very interesting things to say!

 

[Desert Stream~]

lol I go EVERYWHERE in every playthrough

 

[Cool_Porygon]

I speak to everyone at first and visit every house. At least we don't break people's vases and things like in Legend of Zelda

 

[Aisu]

I talk to everyone because who knows, they might be handing out Items.

 

[smocks]

always!! they have so many lil surprises that guarantees to fill up your bag so quickly!

you could say im a homewrecker

 

[Summerdown]

I don't know if I'm being creepy, or a good neighbor, or they are doing one of those. }]
Hey, sometimes it pays off. I do it as long as nobody's locking their doors. ^~^

 

[Degurchaff]

i tend to explore every side area Hoping to find a good TM or maybe to find a Pokemon that can't be found anywhere else.

I explore every single house i see Since there might be loot inside
And i often talk to every NPC i see and talk to them some more after that.

 

[Lunar]

Yeah I never used to go and do this, I liked to just get on with the game really. But now I sorta realised it's part of the adventure, so I make sure I thoroughly explore every town and talk to everyone :)
