TM Gambling and Shopping

[Jhamin]

Breeding a pokemon is all about Moves, Natures, and (to the more obsessive) IVs.

Often, you have a choice between a long breeding chain involving 2-4 generations of pokemon to get a move onto your new creation, and just using a Tech Machine to give the move to them with no fuss and no muss.

But some Tech Machines are rare. Very rare. You get one per game.

And then there are the ones you can find at the store. Money isn't that hard to come by in a Pokemon game, so you can use them freely.

But what can you buy, and where? If you have access to some of the third generation games, there is a suprising variety to choose from:

TM05 - Roar: Celadon Department Store (FR/LG) $1,000
TM10 - Hidden Power: Slateport Market (R/S/E) $3,000

So you want to be a Pro Gambler? He is a guide on how to reap the rewards of the Game Corner!

You got yourself some coins? Good you can begin!
First thing first, find a machine youre comfortable with. Certain machines have different odds, experiment and find one that suites you.
When you load up the screen, you'll see that there are three reels, and six lights. Always insert the maximum amount of coins possible, so as to improve you chances. Then start to play.
The first thing you want to do is try to line up the moonstones. They give a decent payout for the effort required. When you feel confident, move onto trying to get 777 and the Galactic Symbols.

Now, you may have noticed a wobbling Pokeball at the bottom of the screen. That Pokeball contains Clefairy. You really want to get Clefairy out of that Pokeball, as this activates the Bonus Round. A good way to do this is to follow the steps in the previous paragraph.
When Clefairy comes out of the Pokeball, play a few more reels. Keep your eyes on the touch screen. When Clefairy starts pointing in different directions, that means the bonus round has started.
The bonus round lasts 15 Games. During that time, Replays become worth 15 Coins if they are lined up in a row. Difficult you think?Nah!
Remeber Clefairy Pointing? If you stop the reels in that order, it will always be a replay, gaining you another 15 Coins. Simple!

Even Better, Bonus Rounds can happen over and over, (I managed 8 in a row) so you can repeatedly get the 15 coin replay. Want to increase your chances? Heres how:
1. There are 3 different Clefairies that can come out of the Pokeball. A regular Clefairy, which has a 50/50 chance of continuing a bonus round. Next up is a Ditto pretending to be a Clefairy, which as a reduced chance of repeating the bonus. And finally, a Shiny Clefairy which has an extremely high chance of repeating the bonus.
2. While in the Bonus Round, above clefairy is a moon. If the moon is normal, just keep going. If the moon is much brighter, make sure you do what Clefairy says, as it will increase the chance of an extra bonus. If the moon is red, ignore Clefairy. If you don't Clefairy will get tired, and you hopes of another bonus round are reduced by alot.

Well, thats all there is to it! And remember, if you get 10 or more bonus rounds in a row, make sure to ask the receptionist for a prize!
See Ya!:-D

I thought since we have 3 threads on the same topic I would make this thread to compile all the information into the one place. I wrote none of the information, I just made this thread to organize things.
