Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

We hope to see you again.

ಠ_ಠ

[–]ferretonin 2 points3 points ago

(A)(A)(A)(A) "Welcome to the Pokemon center!" BITCH I JUST SAW YOU

[–]trentkamehameha 1 point2 points ago

I saw a 4chan post about this that basically says they're hoping you make it back from the wilds alive.

[–]Butter_sc0tch 3 points4 points ago

came here to say this...looks like you took care of it for me. Bastards only care about their money.

[–]dassur 22 points23 points ago

But it's free. ಠ_ಠ

[–]Butter_sc0tch 14 points15 points ago

they are government run. their funding jacks up the prices of the pokeballs and other merchandise.

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points ago

I did always wonder why I was able to heal my pokemon for free. It wasn't until years later I realized it's because pokemon was created in Japan, and if it had been created in America, I'd have to spend time figuring out how much it would cost me to fix my pokemon using items from the pokemart vs taking them to the pokemon center.

[–]SmokingMarmoset 12 points13 points ago

Not to mention if you took them to the pokemon center, they might not heal your pokemon because of a pre-existing condition.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points ago

They'd heal it. You and your family would just have to die in poverty to make it happen.

[–]bobwoodshed 1 point2 points ago

I think you just bridged two games and created Pokemon Crossing.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I'm quite the visionary.

[–]Edso_828 -2 points-1 points ago

Fuck this gay world.

[–]Seref15 1 point2 points ago

If it followed the Japanese healthcare system then the trainer would still have to front up to 30% of the bill with their own money or healthcare provider while the government takes care of the other 70%.

[–]GaijinFoot 0 points1 point ago

True. Luckily japan charges a standard price and all hospitals and clinics are non-profit. So youre still nit getting screwed.

[–]dassur 5 points6 points ago

Jacks up the prices of bikes, you mean.

[–]Shaqueta 0 points1 point ago

The fucking bike shop owner. I saved up all my damn money to buy that bike the first time I played the game. Finally, after beating the Elite Four the 25178967th time I realized that I was still a dollar short.

Fuck that guy.

[–]edoohan619 1 point2 points ago

or they just hate pokemon, and want to see them hurt as much as possible- we hope to see your pets that faint way too often for it to be natural, at this 'pokemon centre' , one of many in a world were animals get hospitals, but there absolutely no people hospitals

[–]Mr_506 0 points1 point ago

Umm... duh. obviously the japanese have cured every disease known to man, and nullified the need for food and sleep for people.Then, they genetically mutated animals for their own entertainment.

[–]Dacoto 0 points1 point ago

Every time, it's like they want your pokemon to get hurt.

[–]Sampyla 9 points10 points ago

Gotta love that fry shop there.

[–]Grimsonite 5 points6 points ago

Meh have you ever seen vaultdweller fry?

[–]trustnoevil 24 points25 points ago

I hate this so much. I mash the button to speed up the dialogue and I end up healing my Pokemon again. AUGH.

[–]abdoolio 27 points28 points ago

Dude. After the Yes/No option, mash B. You're welcome.

[–]ItsJustNigel 8 points9 points ago

Motherfucking this. When I figured it out, it completely changed my Pokemon experience.

[–]primehunter326 1 point2 points ago

Wait what is the madness?! How did I never know this???

[–]holy_rollercoasters 1 point2 points ago

See, I knew this, but I always seemed to forget to do it until after I had to loop again.

[–]Greatdrift 0 points1 point ago

dude thanks! can't give enough upvotes

[–]simeon94 0 points1 point ago

Thaaaaaaankyoooooouuuuuu.

[–]kombajnotron 2 points3 points ago

you do realize that they're obliged to say that right? It's job policy. If they don't say it once they risk of getting fired. what are they gonna do then? they work for minimum wage already and they have to pay for their grandma's medicine, food and everyday needs somehow. If one of these nurses loses her job it's all over for her. HER GRANDMA DIES. She's thrown on the street. her only hope is to become a pokemon trainer but... wait! she doesn't have enough money for a pokeball... there's nothing she can do... she turns to drugs and lives the rest of her short life as a drugged out bum, dealing out cheap blowjobs for her dope money in dark caves filled with zubats.

[–]TheMcleeter 9 points10 points ago

How has this repost of a repost even made it here??

[–]tclink 1 point2 points ago

Some comments are even worse. Its like pokemon-themed facebook all over the place.

[–]UndeadMantis 13 points14 points ago

Should have said "Mankey" instead of "Pikachu."

[–]iCaughtEmAll 6 points7 points ago

What insight, I've never heard anyone complain about the pokemon health center before. You should write a novel on all of these little things that annoy you that no one else has thought of....

[–]TheKDM 3 points4 points ago

As true as it was the first time this was posted on this subreddit.

[–]MrSnippets 1 point2 points ago

that's exactly why i love the purity seal in lavandia!

[–]Dirge37 1 point2 points ago

I remember prof oak and elm all had a healing machine you could use that took less that a couple seconds with no talking... Good idea would be to remove joy from the centre and just let you use the machine yourself. Maybe put joys in obscene locations as healers and quest givers

[–]gxslim 1 point2 points ago

Gameboy Advanced Emulator + fast forward = win

[–]stud6987[S] 0 points1 point ago

I use that all the time!

[–]Gone_Canada_Postal 1 point2 points ago

I still find this more tolerable then using the PC. Why have deposit and withdraw if your gonna just use move anyway? Needlessly complicated interface.

[–]primehunter326 1 point2 points ago

A A A A A ...

blip blip blip blip blip blip ....... dun dun dun dun dunnnn!

[–]GoodGuyGunmay 1 point2 points ago

Re-re-re-re-reeeeeepost

[–]PhilipTheGirlNickel 0 points1 point ago

That looks like a ex-pikachu. Shouldn't it have spiral eyes?

[–]EvilPete 0 points1 point ago

That's why you play on emulator and have a turbo speed button :)

[–]CVI07 0 points1 point ago

It's the Pokemon world equivalent of the GameStop phone speech.

[–]Greatdrift 0 points1 point ago

hmm. if pikachu = money and money = hooker, does that mean pikachu = hooker?

[–]GaijinFoot 0 points1 point ago

Haha that thread was FULL of idiots.

[–]mista-botwiggles 0 points1 point ago

I used to bash the "A" button and accidentally put them in again :/

[–]Jasper_Dangerous 0 points1 point ago

I can tell by the screenshot that this was from an emulator

[–]The7xa 0 points1 point ago

a,a,a,a,a,a,a,a,a,a,a,a,a,a. Shit, i loaded them onto the machine again!

[–]madethistopost[!] -2 points-1 points ago*

FALSE: You do not hand the nurse your fainted Pokémon over the counter, you give them your Pokéballs and the nurse restores their body and spirit while the Pokémon stays inside the Pokéball.

[–]GaijinFoot 0 points1 point ago

FALSE: its a visual gag with added visuals. How could you not know that. I mean, one thing is pokemon knowledge, the other is common fucking sense.

[–]SeniorPancho -2 points-1 points ago

this thread is bad

and OP should feel bad

[–]junnew -3 points-2 points ago

And when you spam A to make the bouncing go faster they just take them for another round...

[–]ekolis -4 points-3 points ago

Welcome to the Rainbow's End Gold Bank! Your current balance is...

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY GP ALREADY!

(Please excuse me... I've searched everywhere for the "speed up dialogue boxes" option, and it's nowhere to be found...)
