Vending machine: Difference between revisions

This article is about the objects in the Pokémon games. For Pokémon Trading Card Game collection, see Vending Machine cards.

This article is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Specification of which ORAS Vending Machines only sell one kind of drink, and which ones cost more than usual

A vending machine is an object in the Pokémon games used to sell drinks.

In the Generation III and IV games, when purchasing a drink there is a 1/64 chance that the player may also receive an extra drink for free. In Generation V, this chance is increased to a 1/32 chance. When this happens, the message "Score! An extra can of [item] dropped down!" or "Bonus! Another can of [item] dropped down." is displayed, depending on generation. In Black 2 and White 2, there is a Medal for having this happen.

Trivia

• Although vending machines are listed as dropping a can of the drink in question regardless of game and generation, the item menu sprites depict only Lemonade coming in a can. Fresh Water, Soda Pop, and Moomoo Milk are depicted as bottles in their item menu sprites, even if bought through a vending machine which says it drops a can.
• Out of the items sold in the Department Store vending machines, Fresh Water is the best deal from a $/HP comparison, at $4/HP. Soda Pop is the worst deal, at $5/HP, and Lemonade is in the middle, at $4.375/HP.
  • Of the Team Aqua Hideout vending machine, Fresh Water comes in at $3/HP. Soda Pop, which is still the worst deal, at $4.16/HP, and Lemonade at $3.75/HP.
• Kalos is the only core series region where vending machines cannot be found.
