All I see when I look at this picture is holes to push boulders into.
Yup. Nothing like setting down a Game of Thrones book on the "mash A + turbo" button before going to bed.
Machine tips slot pokemon crystal
Well, only one of those can be done just by mindlessly mashing A.
That's why I was confused because the infographic says that the Elite Four is the fastest.
Crystal slot pokemon machine tips
Even on the luckiest machine, you will still earn coins ... slower than fighting the Elite Four and buying coins.
E4 is faster but requires actually paying attention. Slots can be done by just mashing the button or leaving a turbo function on while you watch TV.
Pokemon slot tips machine crystal
E4 is not the fastest way. That would be the Pokemon/item duplication glitch. Give 5 team members a Nugget to hold, put all of them in the box at once, perform the glitch and boom, you got 5 additional nuggets. Sell them for 25,000$, and you can buy 1250 coins for it. So by performing the glitch twice (assuming you have 5 nuggets to start with), you have enough coins to buy Dratini for example. Takes 10 minutes max.
I mean it's not an afk method, but when it takes that little time to get coins, I'd prefer that.
Slot tips pokemon machine crystal
Yeah but it's not 100% consistent. You can mess up the trick and have to try again.
And isn't there some risk to that? I mean, you're corrupting the save file.
Slot tips crystal machine pokemon
Not really. So far I haven't heard of anybody messing up their save file just by performing this glitch. And personally, I find it almost impossible to mess the trick up (at least on G/S, in Crystal the timing has to be a bit more precise).
I mean, let's do the math. The Elite4+Lance give you a total of 45,800 Poke$ (if you use the Amulet Coin). You can spend those 45,800 for 2250 coins. If you are really good, you might beat the Elite4+ Lance in 10 minutes. So it's 10 minutes for 2250 coins. That's 225 coins per minute. By performing the item duplication glitch, you gain a maximum of 25,000 Poke$ (5 nuggets). These can be exchanged for 1250 coins. Performing the glitch (including taking the duplicates out of the box and taking the item) takes maybe 4 minutes. So it's 313 coins per minute, which is much better. And I just remembered that you have to watch the credits after beating the league, which adds additional minutes, right?
Crystal tips slot machine pokemon
Another argument for performing the glitch is that many players want to spend coins on something vefore they reach the league (mostly Dratini), so the glitch is their best chance to get coins fast.
Well I know you can corrupt your save file on the new games this way. Ever since the DS games, your game actually has 2 save files in case one becomes unusable, it can load the backup. It happened to me once and I wasn't even trying to do any glitches.

It would be much simpler to sit in front of one of the slot machines and something heavy on a turbo-A button. Assuming you have turbo available to you.
Turbo controllers and Gameboy player, some modified gameboys, and emulators have turbo buttons where when you hold them down it will act as if you are pressing the button every frame.
Pokemon slot crystal machine tips
I thought it was every other frame, as the release of a button was a separate event
real answer: you enter the level with the abutton already being held down
Pokemon tips machine crystal slot
Computer doesn't need to press a physical button. The only event is activate, activate, activate, activate.
As far as i was aware a continuous string of prrsses is no different to a singular press. it needs to be 'press, release, press, release' so the hardware can actually poll for the difference. A gameboy is different to a computer because it has no driver creating a queue for the OS to poll for, the gameboy is literally checking every frame if the button is down or up, so it needs to alternate between up and down every other frame.
Tips machine pokemon crystal slot
OMG. I finally realize why you can't mash [A] for frame perfect actions
thats also why in TAS software the 'oscilate function' turns a button on and off every other frame instead of presses it every frame, because a press every frame is no different to it being held.
Tips machine slot pokemon crystal
Multiple A presses are multiple A presses. You can't say it's only one
Not when it's polled like the Game Boy (and most game controllers). Every frame the game just checks if the button is up or down. If it never sees "up" it assumes you're just holding it.
Pokemon tips slot crystal machine
Normally there's a keydown event and a keyup event. That's how it works with computer keyboards. If the game is expecting both down and up events then only sending down events might mess things up if the game is expecting up events. You need both events to be able to change the behavior when the button is held down, like for MegaMan's charge shot. An alternative is if it's non event driven and it's just checking a button property each frame of the game loop.
Well since they just came out on virtual console for cheap, the majority of people won't ge emulating unless they really want to play Crystal
Crystal tips slot pokemon machine
To be fair, Virtual Console IS emulation, it just doesn't have turbo button features.
If you are playing an emulator you can speed up how fast the game plays. So if you put turbo on you could sit and just spam A, what would take an hour might take a minute!, depending on turbo speed.
Tips crystal slot machine pokemon
Or you could use a turbo controller on the Super Game Boy, that's how I always did it.
Unfortunately Crystal won't run on SuperGB. Gold/Silver will though.
Machine pokemon slot crystal tips
Well the title only refers to Gold and Silver, but yeah, I'm well aware of that.
The real advice is to use the Pokemon/item duplication glitch. Give 5 team members a Nugget to hold, put all of them in the box at once, perform the glitch and boom, you got 5 additional nuggets. Sell them for 25,000$, and you can buy 1250 coins for it. So by performing the glitch twice (assuming you have 5 nuggets to start with), you have enough coins to buy Dratini for example.

Just instead of depositing 1 Pokemon as shown in the video, deposit 5.
It's a bit late, but use the Pokemon/item duplication glitch instead of farming the E4.

Or if you play FR/LG, farming the rich people in the Sevii Islands. With Lucky Coin you're looking at 20K per fight. That's how i got a porygon
Time to get me another Dratini to complement my triple starter threat...
Slot pokemon crystal tips machine
Dratini is really frustrating in Gen 2 until it evolves into Dragonite. Dratini/Dragonair are kinda squishy and don't learn great moves, but once they evolve into Dragonite its attack is amazing and hits hard with the physical moves that Dragonair struggled with
"Oh hey look, it's that guy who's 4X weak to Ice!"
Machine tips crystal pokemon slot
Sometimes I wonder how the meta game would change if stealth ice was a thing.
Great Growlithes I had a hearty, hearty laugh with that. Hilarious share, thanks!
Machine crystal tips slot pokemon
I mean, Lance's Dragonite was pretty annoying in HGSS, but I had never actually hated a Dragonite in any case... until now. JHall is a national treasure.
I know that. Dragonair was a great power player on my last Silver run, and he was on the cusp of becoming Dragonite when I lost the save file shortly after landing in Kanto. Dragonair and Vulpix are the only ones I never got to fully evolve,(Oddly enough, they were also the only pure Kanto mons; the rest of the team was Donphan, Ampharos, Feraligatr, and Espeon). He was pretty solid, and I'd love to actually use him as Dragonite. Had the same problem in Red version too, since I had a Kadabra and Haunter I couldn't evolve into Alakazam or Gengar.
Slot tips pokemon machine crystal
I'm not saying Dratini/Dragonair are useless, they just aren't great. It's a lot of work getting those Game Corner TMs after you've already worked for the Dratini. Dragon Rage is pretty good, but by lv 22 it's not going to OHKO much anymore. Outside of that you have wrap or slam for damage. Wrap was not as good in Gen 2 (1/16 as opposed to 1/8 now) and slam is very inaccurate. So, yeah you are pretty much required to use TMs to have a decent spread. Even then, Dragonair's stats aren't amazing. It will be good for a while past 30, but it is a STRUGGLE getting to 55.
I totally forgot you could get dratini in the game corner. I'm glad I'll have it before the dragon's den now!

One thing I love about old Pokemon games is the indoor plants. Look at that! It stands out so much. They didn't even bother changing the plant's background for whatever floor they placed the plant on. It's my aesthetic
I don't have actual OCD but in terms of (valley girl accent) "Omgeeeee I am so OCD about ____" I'm OCD about video game inventories. My room is a mess and I just throw stuff on the floor but don't think I won't spend hours putting all my items into the PC in Blue and taking them back out in the perfect order
Crystal slot machine tips pokemon
In any case, thanks for the tip, I'll keep it in mind, E4 might be faster, but this seems simpler. Pros and cons in everything, I suppose.
Consider an even faster method. Use the Pokemon/item duplication glitch. Give 5 team members a Nugget to hold, put all of them in the box at once, perform the glitch and boom, you got 5 additional nuggets. Sell them for 25,000$, and you can buy 1250 coins for it.

Man I just got to Goldenrod city and I don’t have any nuggets. I’d love to do this because I need Dratini
If you have the charcoal from Azalea Town, clone that instead. It sells for 4900¥
Pokemon crystal slot machine tips
I haven't tried the cloning glitch in virtual console Gold/ Silver yet but used to do it all the time in the original. Does it work the same way?
Great tip, will try it as well. But I guess it's good to have a backup trick, or more than one trick, for variety/glichless/fun's sake. Thanks!

I legitimately do not remember how I got Porygon the first time. It must have been Elite 4 grinding, because there's no way someone would have the patience to get those coins via slots. Not to mention the TMs and other pokemon
At least you could catch Scyther at the Safari Zone and save your grinding for the rest of them.
Pokemon crystal machine slot tips
I got a porygon via slots a couple months back. My playthrough took a standstill for a few days haha
Certainly better than having to play fucking Voltorb Flip hundreds of times to get a Porygon, wheras in Platinum you get one for free...

I wish you had posted this earlier. 10 hours before you had posted this, I was googling everywhere for game corner strategies but couldn't find anything. In the end, I settled down for card flips (betting on individual cards, saves, soft resetting) until I got enough for a Dratini.

I gave up 5 minutes in. That's a lot of reading. This didn't need to be a video. Could have easily been an article.
Machine tips pokemon slot crystal
So? My point is that I don't want to sit there and read a video. Add a narrator or something. That way I wont have to read at the editors pace.
The speed buttons exist on YT for a reason, idk what that reasoning was but this is a perfect time
Machine slot crystal pokemon tips
I have to know the lucky slot machine of red and blue! But thanks of this as well
Honestly the rewards, at least in Goldenrod, are a little lackluster. In Silver it's the TM for Thunder, Blizzard, and Fire Blast on one counter and Abra, Sandshrew, and Dratini on the other.
Machine slot tips crystal pokemon
Celadon has Psychic I think, but yeah, in Crystal you could at least use the coins to pay a move tutor for Flamethrower, Ice beam and Thunderbolt. Crystal also had Larvitar as a Celadon prize.
I originally played through Crystal but since it isn't available on Virtual Console, I am playing Gold this time around. And man, missing that move tutor is rough. I feel like my entire team has horrible move sets. Back in day my favourite Pokemon was shiny (Odd Egg) Wigglytuff with Dizzy Punch, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt and Flamethrower... I can't get a single one of those moves on my Jigglypuff in Gold so I currently have Headbutt, Rollout, Sing, Disable. It's not the same :(
Tips machine pokemon crystal slot
That's GS though, nearly all the TMs were kinda bad and evo stones were stupidly rare, except moon stones and sun stones.
At least with the slots you could just buy the coins to bypass the gambling. With Voltorb Flip you have to put up with the bullshit pure luck-based mini game that wouldn't even be that bad if it only had boards that could be completed without being forced to pick based on nothing but luck.
Crystal pokemon slot machine tips
It's not entirely luck based. You can increase your chances by thinking it through a picking the optimal move
But it IS luck based. 90% of the boards can't be completed without picking between a Voltorb or a 2/3 and there is no way to know which is which.
Crystal pokemon slot tips machine
I was just saying that you can increase your chances of success and therefore earnings by picking the optimal move over time
But the only way to make any decent money is by moving up levels, and to do that you have to complete boards, which you can't do without at some point relying on pure luck. Skill might be a factor, but it's simply fancy dressing on top of what is essentially just spinning a wheel.
Machine pokemon tips slot crystal
Original games don't have Voltorb Flip. They do have some card flip game but I think it works differently.
I'm confused by your wording. The phrase "Even on the luckiest machine" implies that the lottery is slower than whatever follows. But you said the Slots are faster than Card Flip. Was this a typo?
Tips pokemon crystal machine slot
Even on the luckiest machine, you will still earn coins slower than just fighting the Elite Four for money to buy coins. Although it IS slightly faster than Card Flip.
Even on the luckiest machine, you will still earn coins slightly faster with Card Flip, and even slower with fighting the Elite Four and buying coins.

Well that's what one would think. But he worded it so weirdly

Japanese HG/SS still has the gambling though. It was only removed on western versions.
And uhh... why are specifically these slot machines the luckiest?
Dumb question: in the newest silver game. You can’t use Pokémon from the S/M generations can you?
No. It's not exactly a "new" game, it's exactly the same as Gold/Silver from 2000 except on the 2DS/3DS.
How do you buy coins? Also, what's the point besides getting a Dratini?
The guy in the upper left sells 500 coins for ₽10,000. You can buy the TMs for Blizzard, Thunder, and Fire Blast for 5,500 coins each.
Isn't it the only way to get Porygon? I know it was in RBY/FRLG.
That too, but Porygon doesn't seem very relevant for the competitive run?
Plus, its an easy way to farm for that sweet, sweet shiny Porygon
At about 1200 coins right now. The best way to do this is via save scumming. Save when you reach a money milestone and reset your game when you dip below profit. Hold Select, Start, and X, Y, A, B to reset the game. Just tap the bottom screen and reset. ಠ_ಠ
Huh. Well now. This changes things. You have made my life slightly less sucky. I shall update. Thank you.
