While I was playing through Silver again the other day, I thought that I might actually play in the Game Corner, instead of ignoring it like I usually do. It was going okay, but I wasn't winning very fast. It was gonna take me all day to afford anything! So I had the idea to look at an FAQ to help me along a bit. Shock horror! There isn't one. To try and fill this void, I've found out everything that I can about the Game Corners and made this short guide for those who want help. I'm not overly impressed that GameFAQs won't host this, as I'm not used to getting the knock back for any of my guides. However, it shouldn't really go to waste, so it can now be found on Neoseeker and SuperCheats. For the record, vinheim and Mighty Oracle have used the information within this FAQ for their Crystal guide. They alone have my permission to do what they hell they like with it. If you want to see any more of my work follow this link: CRP - http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/76852.html That's it, I hope you find the FAQ useful! -TrulyDexterous _____________ _____________ \ /| |\ / ) |ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| ( / | 4) W h a t ' s A G a m e C o r n e r ? | \ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ|_____________________________________________________|ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ There are two Game Corners to be found in G/S/C. The first is in Goldenrod City, just to the north of the PokeCentre. The second is found in Celadon City south-west of the PokeCentre. The Game Corner is like a Pokemon casino! Here, you can exchange your $ for Game Corner coins then play games to win prizes. Often the Game Corner is the only place to get a certain TM or Pokemon, so better get playing! _____________ _____________ \ /| |\ / ) |ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| ( / | 5) B e f o r e Y o u B e g i n | \ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ|_____________________________________________________|ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Before you can play the games in the Game Corner, there are two things that you need: coins and a Coin Case. The Coin Case can be found in the Underground Tunnel. To get there, stand outside the Game Corner and head to the left. Just to the south you will find the entrance to the Underground Tunnel. The Coin Case can be found about halfway along, lying on the ground. You need this in your pack to be able to play the games. To get coins, go inside the Game Corner and speak with the guy at the back on the left. You can buy coins from him. 50 Coins : $1000 500 Coins : $10000 Expensive huh? Even more so if you have to buy 5500 coins to afford one of the shiny new TMs. Hopefully, winning on the slots or roulette will help to reduce that cost. Anyway, once you have the Coin Case and the coins, you're set. _____________ _____________ \ /| |\ / ) |ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| ( / | 6) T h e G a m e s | \ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ|_____________________________________________________|ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ T h e S l o t s ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ On the left hand side of Goldenrod and the right hand side of Celadon Game Corner, you can play the slots. The slots will give you the best chance of earning some serious cash. The concept is one I'm sure you are familiar with. There are 3 spinning reels with pictures on. You must stop each reel by pressing A. You need to line up 3 of the same pictures to win. To give you a bit more of a chance, you can line up the pictures either horizontally like this- ,---. ,---. ,---. | * | | % | | ? | | 7 | | 7 | | 7 | | % | | * | | ^ | '---' '---' '---' Or diagonally like this- ,---. ,---. ,---. | 7 | | % | | ? | | ^ | | 7 | | % | | % | | * | | 7 | '---' '---' '---' Or this- ,---. ,---. ,---. | ? | | % | | 7 | | ^ | | 7 | | % | | 7 | | * | | ? | '---' '---' '---' Depending on how much you bet and which pictures you line up, you will win a different amount of coins. When you first sit down at a machine, you will be asked how many coins you would like to bet. Always bet 3, as the payouts are a lot higher. There is really no point in betting with 1 or 2. It doesn't matter which machine you sit at, you have an equal chance of a payout at any machine. Well actually, there's a guy at Celadon who says they all have a different chance, but as far as I can see that's a load of crap. Here are the payouts for lining up 3 pictures if you bet 3 coins. 3 Cherries - 6 Coins 3 Pikachus - 8 Coins 3 Squirtles - 10 Coins 3 Staryus - 15 Coins 3 Poke Balls - 50 Coins 3 7s - 300 Coins Whilst playing the slots, you need to aim for the 7s constantly. On all machines, the first reel will have two 7s on it. The best place to land the first 7 is right here- ,---. ,---. ,---. | 7 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | '---' '---' '---' Hitting it at the top of the first reel will mean you can land the second one either on the top or in the middle of the second. You may think you will have the same effect if you land it at the bottom of the first reel, but you would be wrong. If you do it this way, you need to land the final 7 at the top of the third reel. This can be a real challenge, as you can't even see the 7 coming. At least if you have to land it at the bottom of the third reel, it will have been in your sight for a nano-second. So, yeah that's where you want to land the first one, but to be honest, anywhere on the first reel gives you a chance. I find the best way to get the 7 in the right place is to wait for it to appear then keep rhythm as to when it reappears. Like if it takes say 1 second to appear again, I keep count in my head, then once I have the rhythm right, I hit the A button when I think the 7 will appear. Hopefully, this is something you will master too. Moving onto the second reel, do the same as before, get a rhythm going and try and land the 7 in the right spot. Occasionally, even if you don't line up the 7, the reel will automatically re-adjust and put the 7 in the correct place. Don't rely on this happening though, it doesn't occur all that often. If you miss the 7 on this reel, it may be that you still have the chance to win some coins. If there are two other symbols lined up, then go for the consolation prize! Should you have been lucky enough to line the first two 7s up, move onto the third reel. Hitting the 7 here seems to be a lot harder and it makes me wonder if the game somehow makes the last 7 harder to land. Anyway, keep doing the rhythm thing here and stop the 7 once you think you have it right. If you are extremely accurate/lucky you will line all 3 7s up right away. If this is you then congrats. However, if you miss the 7, there are still 3 other ways to win. 1) A number of Golems will drop and each time one does, the reel will move round one picture. The number of Golems seems to be random and there is no way to stop the reel, so often they will take you right past the 7. Anyway, if they stop and the 7 lines up, you will win. 2) The reel will automatically move around again. It will move the reel around one full turn and then an extra space. So if you landed the 7 one space too early you will win. However, if you press A, you can stop the reel early. This can be risky too as it won't stop immediately, it will take a couple of seconds. 3) The third way to win hardly ever happens. After you miss the 7, a Chansey will appear and spin the reel to a 7. Instant win! Hopefully this will help you win some coinage on the slots. Remember to keep that rhythm going! C a r d R o u l e t t e ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ The card roulette game is very different. There is a board on the right with 24 spaces on it. There are 6 Pikachu, 6 Jigglypuff, 6 Poliwag and 6 Oddish spaces. These spaces are numbered 1-6. There are 24 cards in a deck, one for each of the spaces on the board. You need to make a bet as to what card will be drawn. You then need to draw a card. There are two cards to choose from. Press A and one of the cards will be drawn. If you chose that card/space you will win. If not you will lose. If you want my opinion, the slots are a better option than this. You will earn coins much faster and with less effort, however if game is more fun to play (at least I think so). You can bet on different areas of the board with different odds depending on how many spaces you bet on at once. You need to bet 3 coins each time you play. Single Space : 24-1 Single Row : 6-1 Single Column : 4-1 Twin Row : 3-1 Twin Column : 2-1 Each time a card is drawn, it is removed from the deck, so in fact these odds are constantly subject to change. In fact 12 cards will be drawn from the deck in total. Depending on which cards are drawn, the board will have a different look. To bet on a single space, just leave your cursor over the space. To select a single row, go to the row you want and press left at the end. The cursor will now select the entire row. Press left again and you will select a double row. Double rows are 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6. To select a single column, got to the top of that column and press up. Press up again to select a double column. Double columns are Pikachu and Jigglypuff, Poliwag and Oddish. The aim of this game is to try and win on every single turn, no matter what the odds are. You just need to know when you will have the best chance to win. This means not picking single spaces at a 24-1 chance of winning. Below I will list the best moves to make from the first to the last. I can't promise 100% that you will win with these moves, but they should give you the best chance. Move 1 : You have a 50-50 chance of winning here if you select a double column. Choose which ever one takes your fancy. Move 2 : Since one card will have already have been taken, select the double column that hasn't been touched yet. This gives you a better than 50-50 chance to win. Move 3&4 : Since the board is still relatively untouched, keep on with the double columns, picking the side with the most cards left (or if both are the same then choose what ever). Move 5&6 : It's possible that the board has begun to take a little shape already. If you can see a double row that has remained untouched so far, then it is worth taking a risk on that one. If all the double rows have had at least one card taken from them, then stick with the double columns for a couple more turns. Move 7&8 : If you can see that one of the double rows has a few more cards left than the other two, then I would take a shot at them for a couple of turns. If it all looks pretty even then look at the single columns. If there is a single column that hasn't been hit yet then go for that one. If neither of these things look familiar, go with a double column. Move 9&10 : Look out for a double row again. Probably one will have more cards than the others by now. Alternatively, look for a single column with more cards than the others. Move 11&12: Either a single column or a double row here. However, if you want to chance your luck here, you can pick a couple of single spaces, who knows maybe you'll earn a cool 72 coins. _____________ _____________ \ /| |\ / ) |ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| ( / | 7) T h e P r i z e s | \ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ|_____________________________________________________|ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ G o l d e n r o d ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Abra - 200 Coins (All) Ekans - 700 Coins (Gold) Sandshrew - 700 Coins (Silver) Cubone - 800 Coins (Crystal) Wobbuffet - 1500 Coins (Crystal) Dratini - 2100 Coins (Gold/Silver) TM 14 (Blizzard) - 5500 Coins TM 25 (Thunder) - 5500 Coins TM 38 (Fire Blast) - 5500 Coins Prizes at the Goldenrod Game Corner can be claimed at the desk in the top right of the building.

He will teach Flamethrower, Ice Beam and Thunderbolt to your Pokemon for 4000 coins (that's Game Coins not $). • Walking around the Game Corners pressing A will not help you find any coins. This worked on R/B/Y but not on G/S/C. Also, speaking to people inside the Game Corners won't work either. Well, there's a guy at Celadon who will give you a single coin if that's gonna help. • There is tell that if you have a high level Chansey in your party, then you will have a much better chance of winning in the Game Corner. As yet I can't confirm or disprove this, but I'm working on it. If you have a definite answer to this then drop me an e-mail. Chanseys can be found on Routes 12, 13 and 14. Try in the grass where the girl wants to trade you an Aerodactyl. • Want all the prizes you can carry for free? Well at least nearly free. First of all, you need to get enough coins to cover the cost of what ever you are buying. If you want a Pokemon, make sure you have space in your party, if you want a TM make sure you have a Pokemon you don't mind cloning. Now, go to the PokeCentre and open an empty box. This should save your game. Go to the Game Corner and collect your prize. Now, if you are getting a TM, give it to a Pokemon to hold. If you are just getting a Pokemon you can ignore that step. DO NOT SAVE YOUR GAME AT THIS POINT. Next, head to the PokeCentre and deposit the Pokemon (the one you won or the one with the TM) in the empty box you opened before. Now, open up another new box. When the SAVING DON'T TURN OF THE POWER message comes up, turn off the power on the GameBoy. I like to turn off on THE. Anyway, turn the power back on. In the box you will find the Pokemon that you deposited, complete with the TM (if it had one). Now go to the Game Corner and check how many coins you have. You should still have the coins that you had before you bought your prize! Use this as many times as you need. _____________ _____________ \ /| |\ / ) |ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| ( / | 9) C r e d i t s | \ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ|_____________________________________________________|ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ T h a n k Y o u s ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ • SuperCheats for hosting this. • You, for reading this. _____________ _____________ \ /| |\ / ) |ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| ( / | 10) C o n t a c t I n f o r m a t i o n | \ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ|_____________________________________________________|ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ My contact email is truly.dexterous@hotmail.com.
