The Game Corners

The game’s Game Corners, located in Goldenrod City for the Johto region and Celadon City for Kanto, have changed a lot since Pokémon Gold and Silver…

[ Back to the Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver section ]

Whereas the buildings used to house slot machines, these have disappeared (except in the Japanese version of the game) to make way for a card game based on reasoning, Voltorb Flip, following complaints that the machines encouraged children to gamble.

Voltorb Flip

This new game takes the form of a square of 25 tiles hiding either a Voltorbe or a number from 1 to 3. The goal, of course, is to win as many Coins as possible by flipping the cards without hitting a single Voltorbe.

The winnings work like this: the first card flipped determines the initial payout, which is then multiplied by the numbers on the cards flipped afterward. To advance to the next level, you must find all the tiles marked 2 and 3 to get the maximum possible payout, which can range from about twenty to over 1500 Coins as the levels go up.

Hitting a Voltorbe, at any stage of the game, makes you lose all your Coins: you will then start again either at the current level, or after dropping down several levels…

The only cards visible at the start of the game are those to the right of each row and at the bottom of each column. They show two numbers: the top one indicates the total points in the row / column, the bottom one the number of Voltorb present. It’s up to you to cross-reference this data to flip all the 2s and 3s!
