They should reincarnate the Game Corner as an arcade where you can play all sorts of Pokemon minigames like in the Wi-Fi Plaza. Surely even the most concerned of overly concerned parents wouldn't object to that
Kids dont even play Pokemon fr. Ive worked in dozens of schools in America and have only met like 2 grade schoolers who know that they can play a Pokemon game on their switch
@@espyjump2725 That's sad. Kids are all hopped up on Prime and Fortnite.
@@lcyurchuk This isn't a recent thing you know, ALL generations are like this. Our parents were saying, "they're obsessed with Pokemon!", their parents were saying, "They're addicted television!", and THEIR parents were saying, "They like rock and roll too much!"
Something I’ve said for a while is similar to what you said: that the Game Corner should be replaced with an Arcade that has a bunch of minigames from previous games. Like the Two Island Game Corner minigames from FRLG, Mantine Surf from USUM, the Pokémon Amie minigames, and the Wi-Fi Plaza minigames.
@@Briskeeen Eh, true enough
I wish they would bring game corners back so bad, I don't mind if they replaced all gambling for skill based minigames(in fact I'd prefer that) just keep the vibe of old game corners with the new minigames
or maybe make a new family-friendly type of game corner with arcade vibes instead, with reduced versions of other old games included like arcades inside the Yakuza series do
It just sucks how companies like EA or Rockstar can get away with something that's blantally gambling meanwhile companies that just feature 52 card decks like Balatro get accused of gambling simulators when they aren't
@@Lucario1121 yeah it's so annoying how gambling with real cash is suddenly "ok" because it's presented in a way that doesn't resemble traditional gambling but something that isn't real gambling can get blocked just because of the aesthetics
@@yeah1234-h9g Furthermore I never heard reports of anyone who played casino like games suddenly become gambling addicts later on in life, hell those games taught me not to gamble, cause after I lose a few times I'm like "I ain't taking anymore chances like that again"
@@Lucario1121 its because the game ratings board is lobbied by companies like them and are blatantly lying about their reasons for not adding microtransactions on their ratings board for T or M ratings
I always gravitated towards Voltorb flip the most, out of any game corner in the franchise. When you land on that one place where you have a 50/50 shot to be right or to get blown up, lol. This one never did much for me. The roulette table is too slow and the slot machine is too boring and unreliable. Like you said, I just farmed money and bought my coins in bulk if I needed them. It really was the most efficient way.
I wasn't too upset that they removed the game corner in ORAS, but I did find it strange they they put a reminder note in there just to bum out the people who did love it. Felt a bit like rubbing salt in the wound, lol. 'You used to love this place when you were younger, didn't you? Well, it's gone now, sucker!' Always felt like a kick in their nads that they didn't deserve.
Just like that other sign, "Coming soon, Battle Frontier"
"Liar!"
@@ggrarlbiggest kick in the nads
while it hurt in every remake that they straight up removed the game corner, it makes sense when you think of gambling laws and how much stricter theyre getting with that kind of thing, rereleases of red and blue have been rated higher than E because of that and pokemon does NOT want that
Legit got so frustrated with Voltorb Flip because I could not figure it out for the longest time.
Voltorb flip will always be my favorite of the game corner games cause it was actually skill focused, but the gen 3 roulette wheel is a softspot favorite as well
kinda wish we'd get a version of Black Jack made with pokemon-themed cards.
“nothing doing!” is one of my favorite quotes from the games, still bewilders me to this day
what does it...mean?
I thought it was a fairly known phrase? Meaning like slang for: 'no luck' or 'I'm not winning anything'. I mean... what else would you think it'd mean in that context?
@@Stathioive never heard it outside of this game, maybe its a regional thing?
@@quaggotoak it sounds like a southern usa thing to me. I am in california and never heard of it
@@jootersblaccatAlways assumed it was a weird translation.
Imagine if they had replaced the gambling games in the game corner with a game arcade and instead of gambling games, there would have been mini games played with tokens. However, even here there is some but because not all countries look favorably on game arcades, for example in Finland Mario, Pacman and Flipper were believed to promote gambling for children and therefore we have only ever had a very short period when game arcades existed in Finland.
Wait how would arcade games be gambling?!
@@BJGvideos I could suspect that arcade game halls somehow resemble casinos and arcade games somehow resemble gambling machines in the eyes of some. But I'm not sure their real reasons because I wasn't around yet when this decision was made. But I remember that when I was little I saw a Pac-Man game and a Pinball in the mall with the age limit of 15 and I wasn't allowed to play them because I was too young. But at that point, around 2000, public arcade games had already almost disappeared from Finland and this was before the Pegi (2003) raised the age limit of gambling machines to 18 in 2009.

@@BJGvideos It might have to do with the history of pinball and gambling. For a very long time, pinball was banned in a ton of places under gambling laws, and it was because earlier forms of the game WERE gambling. Before the late 40's, there were no flippers, and thus no way to influence the path of the ball except bumping the table, which was frowned upon by operators, and is the reason tilt sensors were invented. After the flippers were introduced it still took decades for lawmakers to be convinced that pinball was now a game of skill rather than chance, and I wouldn't be surprised if in some countries never shook off that stigma. Since pinball is the grandaddy of arcade games, they likely just lumped video arcade machines into the same category reflexively as pinball.
@@formlessone8246 huh, that’s interesting. Thanks
Gambling,fun for all ages
I only ever bothered with the ones in Kanto. Even as a kid I knew it was a waste of money and time. Mario games still have slot machines.
@@TheGuyWhoIsSitting🙋🏼♀️ You & me both, brother…..💯👌🏼❤️😉
Yeah this one was always super underwhelming for the lack of pokemon. I loved buying Cubone in Pokemon Gold because there wasn't another way to get it and it's a pretty dope pokemon with its own signature moves. And compared to Diamond and Pearl, these had the Clefairy helping you get a load of coins. Mauville game corner is there to buy some coins to grab a flamethrower tm for your Blaziken and that's kinda it
I always thought that the game corners could be remade into arcades where we could play the mini games from Stadium and Mini.
With the roulette you can actually bet 3 coins at a time instead, that's what the other table is for.
I barely remember playing the slot machines, but I always played Voltorb Flip. Why get rid of it? It's basically just Minesweeper. Also, the Goldenrod Game Corner music is the one I always remember the most.
I loved the Rocket Game Corner in Fire Red. I remember spending hours playing it. I was convinced that I had the skill to stop the 7s and win big. Sadly, years later I discovered that it’s all predetermined when you start the reels. Either way, it saddens me that it’s far quicker to earn money by battling to buy coins for the Porygon.
I remember playing the roulette for a long time in Emerald. I probably lost too much money and time in that minigame xD
I honestly thought it would of been a cute idea to remake the surfing Pikachu game for the game corner in Let's Go since apparently those were remakes of Pokemon Yellow but no, Pokemon didn't want to put in the work to do that
I wish they didn’t get rid of the game corner for the remakes. I get why they did, but it was always optional not mandatory to do. Plus the prizes there were great
I think the reason why Game Corners after Gen 4 got rid of it is that gambling on kids might be too controversial for Worldwide.
@@DigiPen92oh that's absolutely the reason. The European ratings board changed their rules right when gen IV came out so that games which simulate gambling games like roulette and slot machines couldn't get a rating lower than the equivalent of Teen, and so Game Freak had to emergency patch the European release to lock you out of the game corner in the Sinnoh games in order to get an E rating in Europe. That's why they then released the gen II remakes with Voltorb flip, so that the European release of Platinum could reopen the game corner with that as the only available game. Starting with gen V they decided to just start omitting game corners as the only generation where it was necessary to go to one in the first place was Gen I. Honestly, given the age of the protagonist, the world building makes more sense this way.
@@formlessone8246 Pokémon games now a days getting worldwide releases now. Developers are concern about ratings for targeted audiences worldwide now on how they market it like more than Japan, America, and Europe. Nintendo of America in the past were against gambling to kids.
I've played RSE dozens of times and I never new about the roulette wtf
“You, do you like game corners? activity, wonder, danger, horror, pain, suffering, death agony disease death?
Angel food cake?”
“NOM”
“YOU PARASECT!!”
When I got Alpha Sapphire as a kid I was so disappointed that they removed the game corner because I couldn’t hear the catchy ass theme😭
I actually like Voltorb flip more. Yes, it also ultimately comes to luck, but there's significantly more skill involved and it actually feels like you're playing a game instead of just leaving it up to chance.
I really think they missed out by not replacing the game corner with arcades. Insert 100 poké to play, guaranteed payout of 10 prize tickets, earn bonus tickets based on how well you play. You could have classic Pokemon mini games like Pikachu Surf, Voltorb Flip, Dodrio Berry Picker, and so on.
It's a shame they just got lazy and axed the game corner concept altogether
Bring back gambling. Kids gotta learn how to succeed in life
In this economy? Might just be educational to learn how to win at the slots/roulette
Game Freak really loved their gambling mini games. Only to be forced to remove it by Gen 4.
Yeah in one of your previous recent videos I mentioned that I used to farm Gabby and Ty for cash with the Amulet Coin held item?! This was mainly why because I never won in those games 😂
I will say I did enjoy the slot machine and whilst I rarely won big, I enjoyed playing them and it always gave me a nice feeling when I lined up three matching pictures on the Slots. Great video to talk about, remember gamble in moderation 🎰😅
How is this comment older than the video? 🤔
@@jeltemreal GatorEX makes his video's early access for his channel members before it goes Live for everyone, I hope this answers your question.
@@KosmoZer0 Oh ok thanks👍🏻
I'm glad I'm not the only one who calls the in-game currency "Pokè-yen".
I think the slot machines in the Gens I and II game corners could be stopped where you wanted them if you timed it perfectly, but I never got that vibe from Gen III or IV
Makes ya miss your childhood a little bit.
It’s funny how the Game Corner has slots and roulette but no cards table
Remember kids: gambling pixelated money bad, underground animal street fights good
I remember actually bankrupting myself in FireRed as a kid and nearly getting myself stuck because of it trying to get a Porygon
I'm genuinely curious if anyone has ever filled that charge gauge on the slot machine all the way
I know it was gambling and all, but I still miss those casinos.
just realized i never played hoenns game corner since it got removed in oras. sinnohs game corner was absurdly easy to win in but i liked it because of that it was just turn off your brain gambling, and there was some things to buy too. i was never good at voltorb flip and kantos game corner was easy for me since im good at timing
I don’t even know why they cut the game corner, Like yeah gambling bad, but you could’ve had it like HGSS where there’s no gambling involved it’s just a fun mini game
I never been in mauville game corner... this is interesting
Voltorb Flip is by far the worst. On the surface it looks like a skill based game, like a Sudoku where with enough brain churning you can find the solution. BUT IT ISN'T. Most of the maps don't have a solution where you are guaranteed to win if you play correctly, it's literally a guessing game, and you can get sent down multiple levels even if you played perfectly. There is even a Voltorb Flip tool online where you can insert the starting conditions and it will show you all the probabilities move per move, if you don't believe me
Isn't it Minesweeper?
Or..Marumine Sweeper?
@@BJGvideos Lol no, more like Dasutodasu
This is partially true. A long time ago I wrote my own simulator/solver and calculated the odds of winning per level with perfect play. Results below. Levels 1-4 have odds better than guessing while 5-8 are worse than guessing. What's interesting is level 6 is slightly easier than level 5, and level 8 easier than level 7; I've re-run this multiple times and that pattern is the same every time.
1: 87.91%
2: 78.02%
3: 65.97%
4: 55.06%
5: 39.76%
6: 42.48%
7: 29.34%
8: 31.51%
Ran a slightly different simulation: games needed to get the max 50,000 coins. Usually takes between 330 and 430 games, but it can take as many as 600 or as few as 200. Below is what an "average" round looks like:
Total Wins/Plays: 227 / 378; 60.05%
Total Coins: 50029
Level Stats:
1: 46 games; 39 won; 84.78%
2: 78 games; 56 won; 71.79%
3: 88 games; 59 won; 67.05%
4: 82 games; 38 won; 46.34%
5: 47 games; 22 won; 46.81%
6: 24 games; 9 won; 37.5%
7: 8 games; 2 won; 25.0%
8: 5 games; 2 won; 40.0%
Looks like someone is bad at Sudoku and Mindsweeper (I am too I hate Voltorb Flip)
reminds me back when i played DQ8 on the 3ds the roulette table could be rigged in your favor makeing your odds of winning pretty large without loseing coins.
I like how this is vid is posted the day I purchase a lottery ticket.
this actually IS one of the game corners u can cheese
Gambling pokedollars as a 5 year old
Nice chill game corner, but nothing beats Voltorb Flip!
I’ve yet to read anything that explains how Reel Time works that makes sense to me, so either nobody knows what it does or I’m just really stupid
I liked the heart gold.soul silver game they replaced slot machine..then again that's the only one i bother longer than once
Keep it up on your work and this video and channel
I love this video and channel
Thanks you for your video and channel
I love Pokemon All franchise
Firered and leafgreen if you watched the slots close enough you could time the jackpot. I did this as a little kid on the Gameboy with my eyes alone. I hit jackpot 14 times in a row. This was my record for consecutive jackpots
Oh how I miss the game corner!
Can confirm the slots at Gen 3 Game Corner are 101% rigged.
Game corners were great.
Yeah, I guess since there weren’t any pokemon as prizes I wasn’t too interested in this game corner. Gen 1 and 2 I definitely played more slots in since there was incentive for new parry members.
FRLG slot machines were easier to land on 777 for me
I actually remember timing the 7 on though so i got good coins
Loving these videos.
Game Corner should be more for fun challenges rather then slot machines
True RSE Chads know you can find the Harbor Mail in the Trick House, meaning you dont have to take the 20 seconds to go buy one like a loser
Glad that they don't take money from ones nintendo wallet.
I hate the Gen3 game corner. In Gens1&2 it was easy enough to just use a turbo control and something like Dodrio Tower on old hardware, or speed up on modern emulation, to acquire coins. Gen3 had to go and ruin that by making the buttons for inserting coins and spinning the reels separate.
tfw they should make new game corner but not have it be casino styled stuff made it more minigame/arcade like they can most definitly steal the mini games fro the surfing mini game from ultra sun/ultra moon the triathalon from hg/ss and even a better safari zone and palpark and bug contest but they choose to not do this at all im still waiting for a madern pokemon colleseum/ stadium that lets us use all of the current pokemon that will be the current go too for vgc stuff that will be constantly updated then have mainline games be able to transfer to it ;\
I love gambling bro
