  • On a scale of 1-10, how much did you wanna smack her when she hit you with that Everstone Haunter? Crushing your dreams of a single-player obtained Gengar and making you regret that you spent 10 minutes in Mt. Coronet catching a Medicham?

    Not speaking from experience of course.

  • 10. Fuck Mindy.

    She's the biggest troll in Pokemon, ever. If they make Diamond and Pearl remakes, I hope her trade just isn't available anymore.

    10.

    I was actually using a Medicham in my team. So glad I decided not to go through with the trade, it would have been infuriating.

    In response to @Palamon, I do hope they keep the trade. Just simply remove the everstone. It could still be a nice way to receive a Gengar.

  • I hated her (9), but I also thought it was kind of funny in its own right. At least it was a Medicham and not something unobtainable in the wild like Riolu.
    I wouldn't be surprised if in the remake they gave you Gengar. I mean, Gen 6 gave you Mega Lucario and the Latis well before the 7th gym.

  • Thankfully I have two DS systems and three Gen 4 games at hand, so I don't hate her as much as others do. I barely ever use in-game trades anyway, mostly because of the crappy nicknames.

    Pearl was my first Pokemon game and I did not know that some Pokemon evolved upon trading. So when I got a Haunter, with an everstone, I was like, "Oh cool, I got a free item!". Two years later I realised I had been pranked, and I was not at all pleased with it.

    Yeah, I liked that nickname.


    I really wanted Haunter so I caught a Medicham with my Master Ball for the trade.

    That's a monster F right there.

    At least not as bad as me wasting my Master Ball on a Chatot in a fit of rage after using up all my Ultra Balls on it.

    I have a 3DS and an original DS and I have all of the Gen 4 games so it's never bothered me in the slightest. I solemnly do trades with NPCs anyways.

    Oh yeah, when I just had the one DS and Diamond, this irritated me to no end

    Gaspar is apparently the Haunter holding the Everstone. If you don't want to evolve your Pokémon, I'd say the Everstone is fine. Mindy apparently didn't want us to receive a Gengar.

  • 0, I think Mindy is a delightful npc. Granted, I never personally did this trade because I barely talk to NPCs, unless they're central characters to the plot, and by the time I even knew about this trainer I also knew that Gaspard held an everstone, so never pursued the trade. But I still like the idea of the character because I enjoy someone with a sense of humor.

    In her defense, she always said she was trading you a Haunter! Players looking to get rich quick assumed it would become a Gengar, but she never said anything of the sort :) At least Medicham is found right in the grassy area by the city. If she was asking for say your Cresselia it would be more diabolical.
