This was a neat video, I’ll admit. But the luck factor isn’t why the game corner wasn’t removed starting in Gen 5. This is because Game Freak wanted to keep the age rating for future titles down to being “E for everyone”. And the gambling nature of the game corners would’ve increased that rating. It’s why the age rating for the gen 1 & 2 games on the 3DS e-shop were “E10+” while keeping the game corner intact.
Also, before anyone mentions it, yes I know that HGSS had Voltorb Flip on international releases, but the Game Corner wasn’t outright removed as a feature until Gen 5, and any time a remake has happened, the game corner has either been replaced or just flat out removed entirely.
@@funkymachine Meh…some versions of it I think were better than others, imo. Shame that gambling law changes removed any semblance of the game corner returning full force in any compactly.
It's a shame, really, because while the game corner is a less important facet of the early games, it was a great activity for long car rides, and probably helped me learn to control gambling impulses.
Dude the slots part resonated with me. I'm in the middle of a nuzlocke of fire red and spent 5hrs the other night pulling the lever for two Flamethrower TMs 😂
@Detective_L yep, just don't tell your audience you saved and reloaded, it'll be our little secret. 😉😁 Edit: Oh they got those coins legitimately, they got real good RNG at the slots, I saw them play the game in person, you can trust me. 😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣
6:56 this is the only machine you need. Double tap a for the first 2 wheels if you get double 7s the 3rd wheel is simply timing. Only way I play lol, you'll lose a few games sure but you'll also be kind of amazed at how many jackpots you can get without ever leaving the machine.
I had a copy of Blue version when I was young. I vividly remember going on a hot streak in the game corner then losing everything trying to chase that high. I realized then that I would become hopelessly addicted to gambling if I ever let myself indulged and haven't allowed myself to fall into that trap as an adult. Thank you pokemon for teaching me something about myself. Anyway, the slots in the game are rigged in all kinds of ways. For starters you can not win on every spin, the game decides at the beginning of a spin if it will allow you to possibly win on that attempt. Once you have all three wheels spinning you can save the game. After saving, stop all three wheels, it doesn't matter the speed you do it. If you don't hit, restore the saved game and try again. Within 3 attempts you will know if the game will let you win a payout on that spin. If you don't hit within 3 attempts, there is nothing you can do on that spin to win. If you do hit on any combo, you can restore the saved game on that "winning" spin and then you can manipulate the spin with enough restarts to always win the triple 7 jackpot. Once you get a 7 on the first wheel save, then rinse and repeat for the following wheels. Each wheel has multiple 7s. Except for the final wheel it has a single 7. However just like the game decides if you can possibly win at the start of each spin, it "weights" certain outcomes to be more likely. I picture it in my mind as each possible spin outcome having a very specific moment in which you need to press "A" for the wheel to stop on that specific character. However the game will give certain outcomes a larger window for pressing "A". Basically depending on how your first wheel lands the game will attempt to influence your final payout. But like I said with enough saves and restarts you can always force a winning spin to pay out the triple "7" jackpot. This was an explanation of the "meta" strategy someone posted on reddit, i am not nearly smart enough to work all of that out on my own, but I am stubborn enough to relentlessly test this method and can confirm it works. Now I did all of this on the pizza boy emulator so I don't know if the saving and restoring files mid spin is even possible on original GBA or if that is only possible to do on emulators. Also this only works for Kanto game corners. Fire red, leaf green, ultra violet are the games I have attempted it on. The same strategy does not seem to work in Saphire, Ruby, Emerald. Or I personally have not spent enough time experimenting with it in those games. Also as a last note, I have actually won up to 308 coins on a winning spin. It is possible to win triple "7"s across the top row with the first two wheels also having the pokeball "cherry" looking character (not sure what it's officially called) on the bottom row. That pays out 300 for the top row, 6 for the 2 "cherrys" on the bottom row, and then the "cherry" on the bottom left will pay off 3 coins for the diagonal. However I have only noticed that on ultra violet so I'm not sure if that is just a QOL change in that hack. I'm curious if anyone can confirm that. Finally if any of this has already been posted in comments I apologize, I didn't bother to check.
I had a typo in that comment 300+6+3 does not equal 308. I believe the single "cherry" payout it 2, not 3. Either way, still won 308 on a kanto payout.
I am glad I kinda entertained you my friend, also funny the rivals name in this video was Kaz hahaha. I usually pick my own but I went with one of the game’s names this time around

It's absolutely timing based. I'd argue there's no randomness apart from which icons appear on the slots. By paying close attention, you can see everything cycling by in a loop and hit exactly what you want. It's really hard, and I'm only somewhat good at it, but it's skill based.

The slots are timing based but also have set possible outcomes. According to my research with x0.2 speed it's either the slot stops after 1 icon or 2 icons after you press A.
In the USA some gambling is OK at 18. Such as horse race betting, lottery scratchers and tickets, bingo, and that sort of thing Otherwise casino games are 21+
I feel once you're 18 you should be considered an adult and be able to do what you please in terms of drinking smoking and gambling. Enough rules laws and regulations of the small stuff
@@liquidsleepgames3661 I believe you should be adult by the age of 21. I'm sure the gonna decrease adultery to 16 and you know for which people so they won't go to prison... Yeah at 18-19 etc you can get responsibilities and handle them because in reality you are being pushed but still immature. Drinking, driving and stuff that actually puts you in risk of addiction etc should not be allowed to young age. Check society, most people become independent in their 20s. Like 23-24... Before that they might be working but still stay with their parents...
So what you're saying is: No, no you can not. Because you can't start with a Casino prize 'mon. Adding rules is just breaking the premise. Nah I'm playin'. This was entertaining, and I love to see a Kanto team win the gold with a Scyther in rotation. He was a mainstay in my Blue team as a kid ('cause my buddy in homeroom had Red and a link cable.)
As a kid in leaf green i actually learned to time the slot machines in the casino. i got 777 a lot. Since nugget cheating wasnt a thing in kanto anymore i had to gamble my way to wealth but it worked too good. I somehow had the impression that some slot machines are easier than others
Interesting concept well done on the video . I wonder if you could’ve had more restrictions on healimg items and revives felt like they carried there and were mvp .
The slots generally pay out more than you put in. It's a kid's game, so it's nearly impossible to lose all your money. It takes a while, but eventually you always come out on top. I did research into it years ago, with 300 coins I wanna say it's a 99.7% chance of hitting another jackpot before you run out, and if you manage to run out and buy another hundred coins you're way over odds on jackpot.😂 Always wanted a Porygon, it took me a couple days spinning non-stop to get it but just spin and hit a and you'll get there eventually.
i was just suggested your repel video and also ended up here. This is such a cool idea for a challenge, I would love to see you do it on other gens as well
I just discovered your channel and I’m really enjoying your videos! I’m interested in watching a video with your favorite Pokémon in fire red (it’s my favorite)
FireRed was my first pokemon game and I spent nearly 300 hrs on one save as a kid I don't know the actual mechanics behind the mini game but here's my experience. The slots are slightly random but that's more a case of random symbols on each reel. I maxed out the game corner by watching for the 7s on each reel and timing their placements. If you ever land on a 7 it's usually just a case of timing the other two reels. I was never able to consistently get anything besides the jackpot 7s and the mini jackpot Team rocket R but those also paid out the best.
My recollection on slots is that each round they determine if you *could* get a jackpot or not. So if you save state on the emulator when the machine has determined no jackpot for you, you can reload that save a hundred times and perfectly time everything and you'll never get the jackpot. However if it decides you can get a jackpot, it's partly down to timing and it also helps you a little. I can't find the video where someone tore down all the code for the machines and explained all the exact odds and at what point in each round things were determined though :/
that video would’ve been awesome to watch for this challenge, but i did also see that entire breakdown on reddit which gave me some direction and made me think there’s some sort of pre determination to the winning spins. And tbh i did notice for a lot of jackpots i got, the first 2 7’s had pretty much nothing to do with me but the third 7 coming out actually relied on my timing (at least i think lol)
You should do a video on why mulch is a scam from gen 4. Not only can you only buy 1 at a time but it doesn't even save you much time when growimg berries. Damp mulch is pointless since theres a route with rain all the time. Also I heard the pokemon mystery dungeon music you should totally do some videos on Pokemon mystery dungeon! Love your content!
@@kurtisvandermiller4507 Really dope idea, I definitely gotta look into that! And oh yeah, mystery dungeon SLAPS haha, good ear for picking up the music and thanks so much for the kind words - really glad you’ve been enjoying friend!
ironically, pokemon's gambling mechanic is what warned this one off of ever gambling. The odds are so low this one always found it to be a better use of time to just grind out some cash and buy the stupid pokemon/tms. It would be especially true in newer games where you have options to boost your income like G-Max Meowth, the move Happy Hour, or Gholdengo's Make it Rain in tandem with the Amulet Coin or Luck Incense. Still wish there was a way they coulda kept the games, but oh well. Not like they were fun anyway
also, if you ever wondered why the prize corner and game corner are seperate buildings, it's because of japanese laws, iirc. In japan, you can't have a gambling facility that gives out money(also why you cant exchange your coins back for cash), and iirc you can't have them give out the prizes in the same building either, so you'd have to go next door to exchange your tokens for what you were after(or exchange those for cash at another booth a little ways away)
You probably won't see this, but I do know a bit about the game corner slots. As far as I know, the top machine in the row with the old man has the highest chance of having what's called a "winning session". You can either have a winning or losing session. A winning session will have a high chance of giving you the opportunity to win (e.g. 2 rows of Rs or 7s etc). The third row of the slots is totally skill, you can time it if you're good enough. A losing session won't give you enough of these 2 in a row situations to make your money back. Essentially, you can speed up your time on the slots by skipping through rows 1 and 2 and only focusing on row 3, since I don't believe rows 1 and 2 are skill based whatsoever. Using this knowledge I gained from a 2005 forum post, I got a porygon in about 45 minutes on the top slot machine.
yeah this is great info. I started to think that the first 2 spins don’t matter at all because they’re seemingly predetermined after all my spins because I would randomly get double 7 so often without trying and then botch the run for the third 7 lol
Slot machines are all about timing. I can get first two sevens around 80% of the time and got 35 jackpots in an hour or so to get porygon. Worth noting though is the longer you let it spin the timing changes, that’s the tricky part. The “luckier” machines just have a better seven to not seven ratio. My machine of choice (machine at the north end of the line with the old man) has around 8 images on the first spinner, around 13 on the second, and I’d estimate just around 20 on the third, though that last one is hard to test without slowing down the game (I play on original cartridge). I’ve seen a machine with over 12 images on the first spinner with one being a seven, so they aren’t all the same ratio. Hope this information helps anyone willing to try this at home.
About Gambling: In Real life these amshine are rigged against you. You will lose in the long run. You can get lucky for a moment, but if you play long enough, the better odds for the house will show. So Gambling is a dumb idea! In these games the slots a rigged towards your favor. If you simply play long enough, you will get more coins in the long run. So in this games Gambling is a good idea.
I did a lot of jackpots on my phone. Some machines are defo luckier than other ones, but I didn't find switching nessacary. It's about timing and luck. I had quick load and save bound to my volume keys, so I could test spins over untill they would hit. But not every spin will give a jackpot. Although, not every winning spin will always hit. So it's a combination of timing and luck.
Playing by starting in Celadon City by using a rom hack that only does that or walk through walls to get there would be interesting. In the gen 1 games, there are different odds for different slot machines and with the Brock Through Walls glitch you can get to Celadon with only 2 battles.
Did you make an exception for abra because it was a cheaper Pokémon? Otherwise, wouldn’t it have been better to capture a Clefairy at Mt Moon? Anyways, I love your videos and keep it up!
I decided on abra because it has higher encounter odds and isn’t much later to be able to pick up, and it’s the cheapest game corner Pokémon so I felt like it was the most fair pickup. And thanks, will do!
That’s what was one of the most magical things about growing up and playing Pokemon in the early 2000s (or probably any game, but my main experiences were Pokemon) before the full takeover of the internet. Someone could say literally anything and I’d believe it. My next door neighbor growing up was 4 years older than me and would make the most outrageous Pokemon myths up & I’d blindly believe him for the sole fact that he’s older than me lmao
@@mistercbody Yeah I definitely grew up listening to all the BS about Mew being under the truck and all that lol. The wildest one that turned out to be true was MissingNo.
The running out of luck makes sense because real slot machines are rigged to only pay out the jackpot every so often. After it pays out it won't pay out again for a while. That is why you switch machines. Gen 1 slot machines have a mode where you will keep winning on the same machine multiple times in a row for a time period.
I’m very hyped for ZA - I don’t know about transferring though. Is there a way to transfer from emulator (that’s what I play all the older games on)? I never really dabbled much in Pokemon transfers tbh
In yellow, I went to the machine closest to the door on the left side and just mashed the a button. Got to like 800 pretty quickly before I gave up. I never got a jackpot, but I got a match almost every time. (Also, I’m a minor so hehe underage gambling)
yeah, abra was the easier catch though & the least significant pokemon in terms of game corner coin price, so i figured catching one would have the least impact on the challenge🤷♂️
@@Unlawfulspoon818 my man! Thanks bro, working on another cool concept rn.. hoping to finish up the playthrough in the next couple days and get a new vid out shortly after
Tbh ever since i played fire red lets say 2 years ago i honestly think its more so timing. Not that it matters for the method i go with. Any machine for me worked as i just buy enough coins (usually 50 is fine for me or the free ones you get cuz once you save infront of a machine you can just go for the 300) Regardless the first random factor is just getting the first two 7s. Once you do the last one is just timing, i usualy "count 1 to 3" everytime i see the 7 pass for a good minute. Its honestly easiest at the top for me cuz doing the other two id need to "offset" myself. But doing it like i did i usually got to 9999 on like i wanna say 2 hours max? I have easily sunk in so much time just to get porygon, multiple TMs and items. Like i never had some "bad machine" i dont knoe if there is one nor do i care cuz im built different and have success in anyone of them 😂
@@mistercbody Oh I totally understand that, but it's always a bummer to see it missed out on - mainly because it requires having a Clefairy until the Elite 4, but regardless, great video, I always thought the Game Corner prizes were a bit underwhelming outside of exactly Fire Red getting Scyther.
Well there was a way to cheese it on an emulator...each round determines if its a winning round or not...if its not a winning round no matter what u do ull never get anything...once uve determined that the round ur playing is a winning round u can load a previous save and keep trying till u hit the jackpot
It's really rare and has a low chance rate, though. Plus, Abra is the cheapest pokemon in the Corner, so it's the least impactful pokemon on the concept.
8:39 this is a rant on society more than anything being Pokémon fans I'm guessing we are all in our 20s possibly millennials or gen z They took this away from Pokémon because gambling but nowadays ALL VIDEOGAMES have much WORSE gambling contents EA I'm talking about you and these companies intentionally hunting whales to farm and squeeze as much money through gambling addiction as possible It's advertised everywhere on UA-cam or normal games you download on Google store Sports games like 2k or madden NFL Genshin Sports themselves sponsored by gambling Kick Everything is gambling everywhere Like the irony it's really frustrating We grew up with Let's protect children from gambling in Pokémon and Pokémon lost this mini game voltorb flip isn't as fun but at least there's the pokathlon And when we grew up they protected us from nothing really because HARMLESS fake money gambling in Pokémon Became REAL MONEY dangerous life altering degenerative pathological gambling anywhere else! And kids nowadays are obviously exposed to it but this current gambling problem isn't regulated but Pokémon is still gambling free I guess when in reality it was ALWAYS fake gambling since it's fake money and actually it takes REAL SKILLS to have reflex and timing to nail a 777
10:05 lol I did a similar challenge also on gen 3 remakes It was about using dragonite ev train all the good doping stuff as soon as possible so game corner My team was basically Charizard and the game corner dragonite and a bunch of pick up payday Meowth to farm money I went to victory road and was denied entrance I'm WTF I beat Giovanni what's going on Completely forgot that 3rd grass type gym I guess luckily I'm not like the old man staring the window outside that gym
Was thinking how else ypu could do this, if ypur going game corner only, you cpuld say ypu could catch chancy in mount moon as well as abra in the other route, basically still using only fame corner pokemon, if your rules allow it, ypu could open it to any gane corner pokemon, in any game. So you could get more of a diverse team
You can BUT most of those Pokemon are all CRAP Save for Abra BUT I'd rather just capture Abra in the WILD and NOT spend the coins from the Casino shop ON it.
Kinda dumb that you beat a huge portion of the game with non-game corner stuff. When I saw the video title I thought for sure you'd save edit your way into the game corner right after getting your starter so you could actually beat it with nothing but game corner stuff. I was excited to see how you'd handle the early game with nothing but game corner Pokemon and whatever game corner TMs they can learn.
@@ethanbrenna9798 if I knew how to hack a rom that’s exactly what I would’ve done and think that would’ve been really cool, but tbh don’t think one gym then getting abra, a game corner pokemon (although not from the game corner) is a huge portion of the game before beginning the challenge. Felt like a fair trade off for a legit game playthrough imo. Also the majority of my time spent here was getting all the coins I needed for the moves / mon😭
@@mistercbody Fair enough. I just wasn't the intended viewer for this video. I wasn't so much interested in the gambling itself as I was the strategy surrounding the available pool of prizes if you were to exclusively use only the pokemon, moves, and items you could get as prizes. Like, you could get an Abra and teach it Shadow Ball and Iron Tail to get to battling as cheaply as possible, but it's a less powerful pokemon overall for the playthrough, and can only hit normal types with an inaccurate move off of its terrible physical attack. Or you could get a Dratini or Porygon, who can learn 4 of the available TMs for more coverage and better use of their offensive stats, but take much longer to afford.

i can't afford it, is 👀🫛 okay?

Nah I'm playin'. This was entertaining, and I love to see a Kanto team win the gold with a Scyther in rotation. He was a mainstay in my Blue team as a kid ('cause my buddy in homeroom had Red and a link cable.)
if i was able to rom hack I’d have started w abra😪
Glad you were entertained though, scyther is such a sick mon who deserves more love for sure🤞
As a kid in leaf green i actually learned to time the slot machines in the casino. i got 777 a lot. Since nugget cheating wasnt a thing in kanto anymore i had to gamble my way to wealth but it worked too good. I somehow had the impression that some slot machines are easier than others
Should have donated that dollar to the organization that helps addits especially gambling addits for this video

Interesting concept well done on the video . I wonder if you could’ve had more restrictions on healimg items and revives felt like they carried there and were mvp .
The slots generally pay out more than you put in. It's a kid's game, so it's nearly impossible to lose all your money. It takes a while, but eventually you always come out on top. I did research into it years ago, with 300 coins I wanna say it's a 99.7% chance of hitting another jackpot before you run out, and if you manage to run out and buy another hundred coins you're way over odds on jackpot.😂 Always wanted a Porygon, it took me a couple days spinning non-stop to get it but just spin and hit a and you'll get there eventually.
i was just suggested your repel video and also ended up here. This is such a cool idea for a challenge, I would love to see you do it on other gens as well
also it cool,that you donated based on the game itself instead of views or likes or something
thanks, glad you enjoyed! more to come in the future definitely
I don’t think the game is over until you beat the Pokémon league’s second harder round
I just discovered your channel and I’m really enjoying your videos! I’m interested in watching a video with your favorite Pokémon in fire red (it’s my favorite)
thanks!! Glad you’re enjoying - more to come
FireRed was my first pokemon game and I spent nearly 300 hrs on one save as a kid I don't know the actual mechanics behind the mini game but here's my experience.
The slots are slightly random but that's more a case of random symbols on each reel. I maxed out the game corner by watching for the 7s on each reel and timing their placements. If you ever land on a 7 it's usually just a case of timing the other two reels. I was never able to consistently get anything besides the jackpot 7s and the mini jackpot Team rocket R but those also paid out the best.
My recollection on slots is that each round they determine if you *could* get a jackpot or not. So if you save state on the emulator when the machine has determined no jackpot for you, you can reload that save a hundred times and perfectly time everything and you'll never get the jackpot. However if it decides you can get a jackpot, it's partly down to timing and it also helps you a little. I can't find the video where someone tore down all the code for the machines and explained all the exact odds and at what point in each round things were determined though :/
that video would’ve been awesome to watch for this challenge, but i did also see that entire breakdown on reddit which gave me some direction and made me think there’s some sort of pre determination to the winning spins. And tbh i did notice for a lot of jackpots i got, the first 2 7’s had pretty much nothing to do with me but the third 7 coming out actually relied on my timing (at least i think lol)
You should do a video on why mulch is a scam from gen 4. Not only can you only buy 1 at a time but it doesn't even save you much time when growimg berries. Damp mulch is pointless since theres a route with rain all the time. Also I heard the pokemon mystery dungeon music you should totally do some videos on Pokemon mystery dungeon! Love your content!
@@kurtisvandermiller4507 Really dope idea, I definitely gotta look into that! And oh yeah, mystery dungeon SLAPS haha, good ear for picking up the music and thanks so much for the kind words - really glad you’ve been enjoying friend!
ironically, pokemon's gambling mechanic is what warned this one off of ever gambling. The odds are so low this one always found it to be a better use of time to just grind out some cash and buy the stupid pokemon/tms. It would be especially true in newer games where you have options to boost your income like G-Max Meowth, the move Happy Hour, or Gholdengo's Make it Rain in tandem with the Amulet Coin or Luck Incense.
Still wish there was a way they coulda kept the games, but oh well. Not like they were fun anyway
also, if you ever wondered why the prize corner and game corner are seperate buildings, it's because of japanese laws, iirc. In japan, you can't have a gambling facility that gives out money(also why you cant exchange your coins back for cash), and iirc you can't have them give out the prizes in the same building either, so you'd have to go next door to exchange your tokens for what you were after(or exchange those for cash at another booth a little ways away)
Your grandma sounded like she knew how to have a fun time.
You probably won't see this, but I do know a bit about the game corner slots. As far as I know, the top machine in the row with the old man has the highest chance of having what's called a "winning session". You can either have a winning or losing session. A winning session will have a high chance of giving you the opportunity to win (e.g. 2 rows of Rs or 7s etc). The third row of the slots is totally skill, you can time it if you're good enough. A losing session won't give you enough of these 2 in a row situations to make your money back. Essentially, you can speed up your time on the slots by skipping through rows 1 and 2 and only focusing on row 3, since I don't believe rows 1 and 2 are skill based whatsoever. Using this knowledge I gained from a 2005 forum post, I got a porygon in about 45 minutes on the top slot machine.
yeah this is great info. I started to think that the first 2 spins don’t matter at all because they’re seemingly predetermined after all my spins because I would randomly get double 7 so often without trying and then botch the run for the third 7 lol
Slot machines are all about timing. I can get first two sevens around 80% of the time and got 35 jackpots in an hour or so to get porygon. Worth noting though is the longer you let it spin the timing changes, that’s the tricky part. The “luckier” machines just have a better seven to not seven ratio. My machine of choice (machine at the north end of the line with the old man) has around 8 images on the first spinner, around 13 on the second, and I’d estimate just around 20 on the third, though that last one is hard to test without slowing down the game (I play on original cartridge). I’ve seen a machine with over 12 images on the first spinner with one being a seven, so they aren’t all the same ratio. Hope this information helps anyone willing to try this at home.
About Gambling: In Real life these amshine are rigged against you. You will lose in the long run. You can get lucky for a moment, but if you play long enough, the better odds for the house will show. So Gambling is a dumb idea!
In these games the slots a rigged towards your favor. If you simply play long enough, you will get more coins in the long run. So in this games Gambling is a good idea.
I did a lot of jackpots on my phone. Some machines are defo luckier than other ones, but I didn't find switching nessacary.
It's about timing and luck. I had quick load and save bound to my volume keys, so I could test spins over untill they would hit. But not every spin will give a jackpot. Although, not every winning spin will always hit.
So it's a combination of timing and luck.
You should have called this the Grimsley Challenge after Unova's Elite Four member Grimsley, who's a gambling addict.
Playing by starting in Celadon City by using a rom hack that only does that or walk through walls to get there would be interesting. In the gen 1 games, there are different odds for different slot machines and with the Brock Through Walls glitch you can get to Celadon with only 2 battles.
Did you make an exception for abra because it was a cheaper Pokémon? Otherwise, wouldn’t it have been better to capture a Clefairy at Mt Moon? Anyways, I love your videos and keep it up!
I decided on abra because it has higher encounter odds and isn’t much later to be able to pick up, and it’s the cheapest game corner Pokémon so I felt like it was the most fair pickup. And thanks, will do!
151 bpm on a metronome sounds like an urban myth to me. It's just plausible enough to fool kids on the bus
That’s what was one of the most magical things about growing up and playing Pokemon in the early 2000s (or probably any game, but my main experiences were Pokemon) before the full takeover of the internet. Someone could say literally anything and I’d believe it. My next door neighbor growing up was 4 years older than me and would make the most outrageous Pokemon myths up & I’d blindly believe him for the sole fact that he’s older than me lmao

@@mistercbodyhas to be satire 😂
The running out of luck makes sense because real slot machines are rigged to only pay out the jackpot every so often. After it pays out it won't pay out again for a while. That is why you switch machines.
Gen 1 slot machines have a mode where you will keep winning on the same machine multiple times in a row for a time period.
Sick video
thanks so much!
This is the reason we don't have casinos in Pokémon anymore 😭
0:00 "Pokemon's a game"
Oh, ok.
i only talk in facts
Mistercbody, will you transfer these pokemon to bank then home ,to send them into ZA next year for any future poke gambling? Im excited for za.
I’m very hyped for ZA - I don’t know about transferring though. Is there a way to transfer from emulator (that’s what I play all the older games on)? I never really dabbled much in Pokemon transfers tbh

In yellow, I went to the machine closest to the door on the left side and just mashed the a button. Got to like 800 pretty quickly before I gave up. I never got a jackpot, but I got a match almost every time.

@@thockythockthockchom already did brother im rinsed
I'm surprised you went with Abra for the official starter you could have gotten Clefairy at Mt Moon 😂
yeah, abra was the easier catch though & the least significant pokemon in terms of game corner coin price, so i figured catching one would have the least impact on the challenge🤷♂️
Is it easier to catch though without mean look or Shadow tag you get 1 turn to catch it 😂
Id be inpressed if u ACTUALLY used game corner pokemon ie no evolve
I dont know if pokemon youtubers do this but if it was me, id just cheat a bunch of rare candies and use them in between cuts

@@Unlawfulspoon818 my man! Thanks bro, working on another cool concept rn.. hoping to finish up the playthrough in the next couple days and get a new vid out shortly after
@@mistercbody ill keep my eyes out! 👀
5:50 this sounds like something a gambling addict would say but ok.
Tbh ever since i played fire red lets say 2 years ago i honestly think its more so timing. Not that it matters for the method i go with. Any machine for me worked as i just buy enough coins (usually 50 is fine for me or the free ones you get cuz once you save infront of a machine you can just go for the 300)
Regardless the first random factor is just getting the first two 7s. Once you do the last one is just timing, i usualy "count 1 to 3" everytime i see the 7 pass for a good minute. Its honestly easiest at the top for me cuz doing the other two id need to "offset" myself. But doing it like i did i usually got to 9999 on like i wanna say 2 hours max? I have easily sunk in so much time just to get porygon, multiple TMs and items. Like i never had some "bad machine" i dont knoe if there is one nor do i care cuz im built different and have success in anyone of them 😂
Bro is cracked at the slot machine🔥
As someone who has a Level 45 Clefable on a save, not seeing someone get Meteor Mash on the li'l dude is kinda rough. Broken move
One of the main point of the challenge was to use majority game corner TMs. Meteor mash is pretty 🔥 tho
@@mistercbody Oh I totally understand that, but it's always a bummer to see it missed out on - mainly because it requires having a Clefairy until the Elite 4, but regardless, great video, I always thought the Game Corner prizes were a bit underwhelming outside of exactly Fire Red getting Scyther.
LETS GO GAMBLING
Well there was a way to cheese it on an emulator...each round determines if its a winning round or not...if its not a winning round no matter what u do ull never get anything...once uve determined that the round ur playing is a winning round u can load a previous save and keep trying till u hit the jackpot
gambling professional you say? always bet on hakari kinji 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Considering you can get pokemon like Dratini, Abra ect. There's no reason you can't win the challenge.
U need a Meowth an coin amulet with the tm payday for soon from slot machine
Bro is the goat
Btw Loophole was the goat and ur true starter in my opinion
far from it, but appreciated bro‼️
Loophole did carry for sure
Actually in Mt moon you cand find a clafairy on the floor where the fossils are
It's really rare and has a low chance rate, though. Plus, Abra is the cheapest pokemon in the Corner, so it's the least impactful pokemon on the concept.
How come i not know that the pokeflute could do that in Battle?
I think Alakazam and Dragonite are more than enough to destroy the game. Maybe even Alakazam on its own
So OP, especially in gen 3
8:39 this is a rant on society more than anything being Pokémon fans I'm guessing we are all in our 20s possibly millennials or gen z
They took this away from Pokémon because gambling but nowadays ALL VIDEOGAMES have much WORSE gambling contents EA I'm talking about you and these companies intentionally hunting whales to farm and squeeze as much money through gambling addiction as possible
It's advertised everywhere on UA-cam or normal games you download on Google store
Sports games like 2k or madden NFL
Genshin
Sports themselves sponsored by gambling
Kick
Everything is gambling everywhere
Like the irony it's really frustrating
We grew up with
Let's protect children from gambling in Pokémon and Pokémon lost this mini game voltorb flip isn't as fun but at least there's the pokathlon
And when we grew up they protected us from nothing really because HARMLESS fake money gambling in Pokémon
Became REAL MONEY dangerous life altering degenerative pathological gambling anywhere else!
And kids nowadays are obviously exposed to it but this current gambling problem isn't regulated but Pokémon is still gambling free I guess when in reality it was ALWAYS fake gambling since it's fake money and actually it takes REAL SKILLS to have reflex and timing to nail a 777
Got to ask. I thought you could obtain Porygon 2 in Fire Red and Leaf Green. Why didnt you evolve porygon?
Only after Sevii Islands
I’m fairly certain porygon’s a trade evolve, and i lack friends which makes it impossible for me to obtain it (same reason i didnt evolve kadabra)

Do second generation with only slots pokemon
Why wouldn’t you be able to with some of the most powerful Pokemon
Was thinking how else ypu could do this, if ypur going game corner only, you cpuld say ypu could catch chancy in mount moon as well as abra in the other route, basically still using only fame corner pokemon, if your rules allow it, ypu could open it to any gane corner pokemon, in any game. So you could get more of a diverse team
Im surprised gambling was in the game because its friggin illegal in japan to gamble in most forms and has been for over a hundred years!!!!!

You can BUT most of those Pokemon are all CRAP Save for Abra BUT I'd rather just capture Abra in the WILD and NOT spend the coins from the Casino shop ON it.
Why didn’t you get Clefairy from Mt. Moon instead? You get it sooner than Abra.
lower encounter odds

@@mistercbody Just get a second GBA and a link cable, and then you can trade with yourself! :D
Do it on the original game and not the one that has an easy way to game the slots.
no
Kinda dumb that you beat a huge portion of the game with non-game corner stuff. When I saw the video title I thought for sure you'd save edit your way into the game corner right after getting your starter so you could actually beat it with nothing but game corner stuff. I was excited to see how you'd handle the early game with nothing but game corner Pokemon and whatever game corner TMs they can learn.
@@ethanbrenna9798 if I knew how to hack a rom that’s exactly what I would’ve done and think that would’ve been really cool, but tbh don’t think one gym then getting abra, a game corner pokemon (although not from the game corner) is a huge portion of the game before beginning the challenge. Felt like a fair trade off for a legit game playthrough imo. Also the majority of my time spent here was getting all the coins I needed for the moves / mon😭
@@mistercbody Fair enough. I just wasn't the intended viewer for this video. I wasn't so much interested in the gambling itself as I was the strategy surrounding the available pool of prizes if you were to exclusively use only the pokemon, moves, and items you could get as prizes. Like, you could get an Abra and teach it Shadow Ball and Iron Tail to get to battling as cheaply as possible, but it's a less powerful pokemon overall for the playthrough, and can only hit normal types with an inaccurate move off of its terrible physical attack. Or you could get a Dratini or Porygon, who can learn 4 of the available TMs for more coverage and better use of their offensive stats, but take much longer to afford.
