Somebody close this thread. Sketch, SaturnYoshi, anyone!

Seriously, this is not the place to brag. Try blogging.
 
13,000? I have about 30 coins...I applaud you people for being able to sit through this flip game without wanting to commit suicide.

It's not bragging (not in the "This thread is just for ME and ONLY ME to show off" sense), IMO, it's just a thread for people to post their Voltorb Flip high scores.
 
So discussing VOF wins and technique is a waste of time, compared to:
"blab about what you are currently doing in the game" (SO not a blog)
"blab about how well you can trick the pokewalker into giving you free steps" (cheaters gonna cheat)
"blab about which legendaries you didn't use Master Ball on" (it was almost caught!)
"let's go on for hours on the details of Lyra's hat and hairstyle" (how enlightening)

You're just upset because you were trying to flip a 5/0 row, miss-clicked, and blew up while everyone else is buying Eevees.

How about a mod clean up the big dookie you, SharKing, dumped in this thread so we can get back on the topic of one of the HGSS minigames.
 
Sharking just misunderstood, Obsolete Disks. There is no reason to insult him like that.
My highest level: 4
Current coins: 1??? (don't remember :dumb:)
 
My highest level so far was 6, I think. It's really addictive. I think the people who complained about it being too hard or involving too much luck were exaggerating. You can easily win coins in the hundreds just by getting to level four. I've gotten 5000-some coins so far.
 
My highest level: 1
Coins: 6
How did I get 6? By quitting.
I really don't understand this game, I really suck at it.
 
Can anyone help a guy who can't play this game for beans? seriously, i can only get to level 3 be4 i start making terrible luck-based moves. It's like i'm a voltorb magnet or something
 
I can't get past level 7 :( I become pretty good at it while getting Ice Beam, 10000 coins took a bit to much time, I have about 20 left for now.
 
I've gotten a little over 3000 coins in total so far and I think the highest level I got to (and beat) was 4 or 5.

Yeah, it's way easier to get coins in this than the slots, but you can't buy them. Plus I loved to just sit at the slots in GSC and waste everything just 'cause. Still, while it's not exactly minesweeper, it's actually not too different once you know what's going on, so for that I think it's alright. I just won't be going there to waste time too often.

Also, anyone whose played the Japanese HG/SS, are the slots programmed to work like they did back in GSC, or are they like DPPt's, or are they something new altogether? Just curious is all.
 
I've gotten no higher than Lv. 5, but I have over 6300 coins.

One mostly workable strategy I came across online somewhere is to mark off all the rows and columns whose point value and Voltorb count add up to 5. The reason being that all that can be there in those blocks are 1s or Voltorbs, so mark them accordingly. Also, if there are any 0 Voltorb rows or columns, flip them first. From there on out, it's simple mathematics to figure out where the remaining 1s or Voltorbs might be. (Also, 5-Voltorb rows/columns are very, very helpful as long as you don't accidentally flip them.)

There's still some luck involved even then, but I've gotten further using that strategy than I ever did on my own.
 
The highest level I beat was 7. 50000 coins is appearently the limit, had that amount of coins a few days ago. Bought TMs for my HG, becuse I wanted to play more :p Reached 50000 coins today again, so I had to go and buy some other random TMs.

I've tried explaining that to three of my friends, none of them got it... or they're just being too stubborn about not being able to buy the coins. It's been the strategy I've been using since I realized what the numbers meant and that the one cards don't do anything.

Indeed, that is my strategy as well. I always check that out first. As well, I make sure once I flip some things over to make sure whether I can determine if something is a 1 or a Voltorb. It really sucks when I miss one.

Agreed. Find the ones that are 5 Voltorbs, 0 Voltorbs, or where the numbers and Voltorbs equal up to 5, then mark/flip accordingly.

Another one I mark is if it says there are 3 points and 4 Voltorbs, I then know that there must be a 3 pointer in there somewhere. If I flip some cards then find that in a row there is now only 1s or voltorbs left, then I flip those as well.

If stuck, where I don't have a definite starting point, I take a slight risk by finding the column with highest points and fewest voltorbs (like 8 points and 2 Voltorbs) and match that with the row that's also the highest pointer and fewer voltorb, and flip that square. If anything, it gives me something of a starting point, and if it's a voltorb...no loss. Usually is some sort of a pointer, like a 3 or 2.

I think I got all the way up to lvl 7? I was trying to get coins for Dratini, so if I was stuck at a "this one or that one" risk with a high number of coins, I'd just "quit" and collect the coins I had earned instead of taking a risk.

Only have 25 coins though...spent them all on Dratini.

Overall though, I love this game. :] I think it's great how it takes some skill to play. Once you know what you're doing, it's fine.

For those who don't understand it, keep playing. You don't lose coins you already have, so no penalty. Try and figure it out. You'll notice numbers on the side and bottom. Those tell you how many points are in a row or column along with how many Voltorbs. Once it clicks, it's so much easier.
 
You guys know that you can get most of these Pokemon (Dratini, Eevee, Abra, etc.) in the wild, or for free, right?
 
I doubt you can get the TM's though.

Of course, in the case of Dratini, you can't find it until you reach Blackthorn, right? So I suppose getting it early would save you from grinding it later on.

You can get the TM's elsewhere.

But yeah, the corner is the only place to get multiples of them.

Exactly. Getting that Dratini (and then later Dragonair) to finally evolve into a Dragonite at lvl 55 is a pain, specially when you're close to the E4 but you aren't quite ready. At least by doing it this way, it's at the same level as the rest of my pokemon and gives me a while to get his levels up.
