Everything seems legit in the Game Corner, at least at first glance. People are having fun at the slot machines and no one is making trouble, but the tough guy near the back of the room does look suspicious. | Everything seems legit in the Game Corner, at least at first glance.

The Game Corner offers some hard-to-find Pokémon (and one exclusive one), but at high prices. You need to exchange coins for them, and outside of the few hundred that you can bum from other gamblers or find on the ground, you can only get them by buying them at the rate of 50 coins for [[File:Pokebuck.png]]1000, or winning them in slots. | The Game Corner offers some hard-to-find Pokémon (and one exclusive one), but at high prices.

Or, you can march around the room pressing A. Chances are, you'd get 10 coins at the very least. | ||
The slots are tricky. The machines do differ, but they go in streaks, changing frequently, so the only way to win is to spend all day putting a few coins into each machine, seeing which ones are "streaking," paying 70% of the time, and hold onto that machine until it runs out (you can usually get 500 or so coins out of them). Other machines retain poor odds (1 in 10 or so) but have frequent high-paying Bars and 7's. So if you get a Bar, stick with it for a while and a Triple-7 is probably ahead. You can redeem your coins next door for TMs and some good Pokémon like {{bp|Dratini}}, but they're hardly worth the amount of time you'd have to spend on the slots to get them. Save up and buy the coins if you're trying to catch them all. | The slots are tricky.
