5th Gen Gym dude giving you fresh water?

I thought that the gym caretaker, Clyde, was a pretty cool guy, really. I like how Game Freak upped the gym caretakers much more than just your regular, average NPC.

I suppose they further did this to add more user-friendliness to the trainers. I'm sure the Fresh Water could have helped when situations got a little more tense earlier on in the game. I don't mind it all though, and I thought it was really nice to have something as recurring as this. :)

He even talks about all the Fresh Waters he gave you after you obtain the eighth badge. ;w;
 
I thought it was super cute, because he always, always helped you in every other game, but you didn't know anything about him and I felt bad D: Now he's my good friend Clyde! I wanna take him on my journey!
 
To be brutally honest, I would have lost quite a few gym battles without those phr33 fresh waters ;_;. And even if I didnt use them in the later gyms, outside of them in between battles I used them as a free heal :3. All in all, extremely useful especially in the early gyms and the early game in general, and shouldnt be underestimated.
 
I like it, it's a nice little feature.

I do think that fresh water is helpful. It's even more helpful early on in the game.
 
I loved the fresh water. I'm always running out of money. So a free mini potion before a battle is really nice. Mostly at the first few gyms.
 
"Please take this Fresh Water!"

That's going to be a classic quote for years to come.
 
hey it's free water and its fresh, why would you refuse??

I honestly think its a pretty neat add on. I know it helped whenever I forgot to buy potions along whichever way I was heading. It's worth saving the $200 in expense each time too, if you think about it. So I won't complain, I think it's a nice little feature given to the guy. Makes him a bit more useful to be honest, as in previous generations I wouldn't really bother talking to him in each gym as I knew there wasn't anything too special to hear from him. n__n
 
I thought it was great. Got me out of trouble a couple times. Great feature.
 
I like it. The dude is pretty much a charity. Especially on my first and second gym challenges, its quite useful. And most of all, its totally free :P
 
Can't complain about free healing items, though I do wish he upgraded to Moomoo Milk or Lemonade for the final few gyms. I don't recall if I used the freebie in the respective gym battle, but I do know that each and every one of them got used at some point in the game.
 
i think its because he wants you to heal your pokes so they dont die in the gym :)
 
I think it's just to make the games easier for new players tbh. I kept forgetting to talk to him though, lol :( Soooo I only ended up with like 3 fresh waters! How anoying.
 
Free recovery items never hurt. The gym guy got a lot more useful this generation apart from giving advice.
 
In the first few Gyms I did actually use that Fresh Water in the battle with the Leader. Granted, I had bought Potions and stuff in preparation, but the free water was cool. Clyde is one cool dude, I say.
