60c a can?

Dude..... can you buy me some and send it to me? I'm paying in excess of $2 for 600mL these days! Um, but seriously, no. — THE TROM — 04:02, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I found a vending machine that sold soda at 60¢ here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/23475878@N07/2565805623/sizes/l/ --Elohssa Naer'uoy 04:08, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

You just proved a point though: you had to search for one specific site that fits that requirement. And quite frankly, everywhere does not have that same price. ht14 04:10, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
It's the "average" as far as I can tell. --Elohssa Naer'uoy 04:11, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
So you're saying you've seen cheaper soda prices than 60... ht14 04:11, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
In the PAST, yes. Today, maybe a few small towns & discount stores still have vending machines selling soda at 50¢ a can. --Elohssa Naer'uoy 04:16, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
...great...You state that only a few have 50 cents, but there are plenty OVER 60 cents, as much as $1.15 US or more. That doesn't make the average close to 60, but more into the 90s. Besides, there are too many variables to worry about it. ht14 04:18, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Find a lot of 60+¢ vending machines on Flickr and we'll see. Or are you referring to the plastic 20oz soda BOTTLES? (Well AFAIK, in the game anyway, the sodas are aluminum soda CANS.) Of course the plastic bottles will cost more. --Elohssa Naer'uoy 04:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
TOO MANY VARIABLES: time period (note that despite prices rising, prices don't change in the games), location, issues in the market, etc. Oh, and you just made another variable. How do you know how big the cans are? ht14 04:23, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Whoops! The cans of soda are actually bottles!

Oh, hold it right there! Actually, my mistake. On my VisualBoyAdvance ROM I got off of BitComet, I just bought soda pop at that beach house in Slateport and the vendor said "Just PD300 a bottle! Buy some!"

The 20oz bottles of soda are in the neighborhood of $1 - $1.50. Let's assume the highest: The exchange rate would therefore be PD200 to $1 USD. (If we assumed the lowest, it would of course be 300 PD to $1 USD.)

I can't believe they were cans all this time. My bad! --Elohssa Naer'uoy 04:30, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

...still...even if it were accurate, as I said, TOO many variables. Glad that that's resolved. ht14 04:38, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Please Realize...

...that those sections you edited are used for vague info only. No need for specifics. ht14 04:50, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Game Guide

No, we're not a game guide. Please take some time to read the policies linked in the welcome at the top of your talk page before I have to block you for edit warring. - Kogoro | Talk to me - 04:50, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

We're not a game guide at all. We present the information, not give opinions based on it. That's the job of a strategy guide. We do this so that we don't cause there to be a large group of Pokémon fans that play the games the same way as each other. Everyone having a Garchomp. With the same moveset. We don't do the opinion here. Also, era uoy ,on. TTEchidna 05:05, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Your username

Well, we have noticed a very very big problem with your username. Read backwards, it would violate our username policy. Out of kindness, we would like to offer you a chance to have your username changed. Please contact any bureaucrat with the name you would like to change to within 48h, or we will be forced to block you. Apologies, - Kogoro | Talk to me - 05:08, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Oke-sies, contacted one. --Elohssa Naer'uoy 05:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Done.

Now go on and login with your username and password on Archives and News to unify your account there. TTEchidna 08:07, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Cost-effective

It should also be noted that Super Repels are more cost-effective than Max Repels. 5 Super Repels work for 1,000 steps at 2,500 total, while 4 Max Repels cover the same distance at 2,800 total. SharKing Productions 01:46, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

That I would actually bet on being because the repel steps is an eight-bit integer in Gen I (to save space) and just ends up staying the same in later generations for consistency. Max is 255. Max Repel gives you 250 steps.
They could change it, but that'd mean going against what previous generations have had. $200 extra for 50 more steps... honestly. TTEchidna 19:28, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Real-world counterparts

That'd probably be better off in the trivia section. TTEchidna 06:08, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Okay then, I hope they only get moved to the Trivia section rather than wholly reverted. Thanks for letting me know. --Tanaka Shimoya 06:09, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

That's what I've done. Maybe put a link to Pokémon world in relation to the real world in there somewhere. TTEchidna 06:12, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

There is no chat room

There's only our forums and IM messenger's nothing else.--☆Coolピカチュウ! 22:51, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Dude, Stop

Dude, Serebii cannot always be trusted. It's just a fansite. --Theryguy512 16:06, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
