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.

A Vending Machine (Japanese: 自動販売機 Vending Machine) is a machine found in several regions of the Pokémon world which is used to sell drinks.

When purchasing a drink in the Generation III and IV games, 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 Cable Car entrance Vending Machines, Fresh Water comes in at $8/HP. Soda Pop, which is still the worst deal, at $10/HP, and Lemonade at $8.75/HP.
  • Of the Team Magma and Aqua Hideout vending machines, Fresh Water comes in at $3/HP. Soda Pop, which is still the worst deal, at $4.167/HP, and Lemonade at $3.75/HP.
• Kalos is the only core series region where vending machines cannot be found.
