LT Weekly Poll #46 Did you like/use the radio feature in G/S/C/HG/SS?

[Zeb]

Hello Everynyan! Welcome to the forty-sixth installment in the Lost Tower Forum's new weekly series of polls!

Centered around the Pokemon series of video games, these polls will be based on the various different aspects of the popular video game franchise. Every Monday, a Video Games staff member will post a new poll that'll remained stickied up on top of the forum. Suggestions for polls and questions can be sent to Joshawott or Zeb and they could possibly used for new polls (credit will be given, of course).

With that out of the way, here is the poll:

Did you like/use the radio feature in G/S/C/HG/SS??

The Pokegear came with a nifty little radio feature once you got to Goldeonrod City. Sometimes you could play games (Buena's Password), find new pokemon (Hoenn and Sinnoh music), find out facts from Prof. Oak's show or just change the music in an area to your liking. But, do you like or use it? Let us know!

[Proxima Centauri B]

I used to use the radio in G/S/C a lot, but in HG/SS I really only used it to wake up Snorlax in Kanto.

 

[Infinity Mk-II]

In Crystal? I tuned in to Buena's Password ALWAYS. Even if I didn't feel like playing the game. Buena's Password was the best thing. And I don't even know why. It was the music.

In HGSS it was nice I guess. The channel with the old remixes was a very neat touch. Though I didn't really find much of a practical use for it other than Buena's Password, I did like reading the random channels and stuff.

 

[Peachy]

I mostly used it to wake up Snorlax, and Hoenn and Sinnoh sound.

 

[Gallifrey]

When I was a kid I especially liked using it at the Ruins of Alph, and after discovering that it was weird there, I would always turn on the radio to test it wherever I went. Lol.

 

[mwetwe]

It was useless apart from the Snorlax case. I didnt like it. Saying this is has been along time since ive been on Crystal, im on it at the moment, so I might update this post if I find use for it

 

[Almonds]

I hardly used it apart from waking Snorlax. Though, it was hilarious to listen to Team Rocket begging Giovanni to come back over the radio

 

[Pidgeot]

I used it for waking up Snorlax, but doesn't mean I liked it. I guess it was a nice addition, but it was one of those things in games that aren't really needed, just for aesthetic reasons.

 

[RainbowSylveon]

I only really used it for the Poke Flute thing, that was about it.

 

[ZMT123]

I used it to listen to the weird sounds the Unown make in the Ruins of Alph, wake the Snorlax, listen to Hoenn and Sinnoh sounds, and to listen for swarms.

 

[Bouffalant Herdier]

I only used it for Snorlax or changing the music when I got fed up with the standard BGM. I would've used it far more if it had a wider choice of stations and thus a larger variety of tracks.

 

[Tiger]

I used it chasing down the dogs. I thought that it would draw out Suicune better than just running in the grass. Can't recall if it was really as effective as I thought it was. Hell, I never did manage to catch Raiku.

 

[Figgles]

I used it a lot, especially the Music Channel.

 

[G50]

Other than using it for Snorlax, I used it occasionally just to hear different BG every now and then for the games. The same background does get old after awhile.

 

[Camille]

I like it, especially Buena's Password, since it lets you get free items. I also love Pokemon Talk, because it tells you about swarming Pokemon, and Pokemon Music, for Hoenn/Sinnoh Sounds.

 

[CynthiaLover]

For the most part, I used it for Buena's Password, as getting free items for doing virtually nothing is always fun. And the music in Buena's Password was rather catchy. Other than that, and the whole Snorlax bit, I rarely used it, not even for swarms in HGSS (something that I often forget about, but at the same time, not really worth it just to get junk rare Mons).

 

[Ivan the Dragon]

Only used in Ruins of Alph cause I like unown radio

 

[prog rocker]

Only used it for Snorlax.

 

[RK9]

Forgot it even existed.

Think that answers the question from my side pretty well.

 

[Lufenium]

I liked the feature. I didn't use it all that often, but I liked that I could tune in and listen to different music, and get items from the shows.
