Description
I've been playing Pokemon HeartGold (yes I know I'm years late :[ ) and got to the Celadon Game Corner! I remember having fun playing slots in Pokemon Red and Blue when I was a kid, so I went in and was surprised to see only a card game. Hmm......so I played it and got immediately hooked. Voltorb Flip is freaking addictive! And then, like any games that are about 70% strategy and 30% chance, I started getting mad at the game. :[ It's not like Minesweeper where you can calculate...sometimes you just have to guess.
I finally got to the fourth level, where I promptly lost and the damned game sent me back to the first level.
I wanted to flip a table. :[ I was so mad. Damned video games.
Apparently when I get mad I turn into a super saiyan ape.

I next to never played the slot machines in Pokemon and would just buy coins if I wanted to trade them for something, but now I get totally hooked on Voltorb Flip and end up playing it longer than I intend to when I get started. xD
The prospect of actually getting up to the next level in the game is just too motivating! I just about want to cry though when I get to level 4 and the first card I choose is a naughty little Voltorb. :c
I FEEL YOUR PAIN. And resist the urge to play Voltorb Flip now that you've reminded me of it.

You mean Infernape...
At least you manage to get to Level 4! I never even got past Level 3 before the Voltorbs got me.
This comic though, it epitomizes my reaction as well. >:E

Lol this is great. I can never get past level 5.....the higher up you go, the more luck you need. And I have pretty bad luck when it comes to this game xD

I haven't reached that Celadon Game Centre in SoulSilver yet (I'm late too! LOL!), Voltorb Flip reminds me of Minesweeper...I hate that game I apparently turn into Tourettes HollyAnn whenever I get angry at video games. The words that come from my mouth literally get people around me to just stare in disbelief that I could say such things

I remember this from SoulSilver, I played it when I didn't know what to do anymore, and at last, I got to level 5 x3

I love Voltorb Flip WAY more than stinking slots or roulette. At least there is SOME aspect of strategy, and it's not all luck. But yeah...getting to level 8 or so and then falling back to level 1...that is when I silently cry inside, just a little.

They took out slots because they didn't want to promote gambling (or the addictive-ness of it) so instead, they put in a game that is just as, if not more, addictive (I don't lose coins if I lose a game? COUNT ME IN... several hours later..)
I like the hair for some reason. :k

That's kind of silly, but at the same time, I appreciate not losing coins if I lose :3

Somehow I am good at voltorb flip, even though I usually suck at things like that. Going supersaiyan is a perfectly acceptable way to handle being sent back to lvl one. Especially from lvl 8.. ;w;

My problem is, I get stuck. I use strategy (clicking on a box where both row and column have a a high number and low Voltorbs, for example) but I just seem to have crappy luck on the parts where you just have to pick a random card. :<

There was a site that helps calculate the best options depending on where the rows say voltorb are located...I don't remember it though. Usually when get around level 5 I start having trouble not going back to 1.
