The '''Celadon Game Corner''' (Japanese: '''タマムシゲームコーナー''' ''Tamamushi Game Corner'') is a Game Corner located in the southeastern part of [[Celadon City]] in the [[Kanto]] region.

 

In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, it is known as the '''Rocket Game Corner''' (Japanese: '''ロケットゲームコーナー''' ''Rocket Game Corner'') due to it being controlled by [[Team Rocket]] and its access to the [[Rocket Hideout]]. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the Game Corner is instead an {{wp|amusement arcade|arcade}}.

The Celadon Game Corner contains several games inside depending on the [[generation]], including [[slot machine]]s, [[Card flip]], and [[Voltorb Flip]], though the player needs a [[Coin Case]] to participate in any of them. Winning at these will award the player with [[coin]]s he or she can exchange for prizes at the Prize Corner next door, including rare {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} such as {{p|Dratini}} and {{p|Porygon}}, as well as rare [[TM]]s and [[hold item]]s. While it seems to be a popular spot for travelers and tourists, the citizens take pride in the city's beauty and think the casino is bad for its image.

In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, this Game Corner is run by [[Team Rocket]] and is instead called the '''Rocket Game Corner''' (Japanese: '''ロケットゲームコーナー''' ''Rocket Game Corner''), sporting the suggestive catchphrase "The playground for grown-ups!" Under the casino is the [[Kanto]] region's [[Rocket Hideout]], with a staircase leading to it hidden in the upper-right corner. The player must gain access to the hideout in order to defeat Team Rocket and obtain the [[Silph Scope]], by defeating a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} and pressing a hidden switch underneath the poster he was guarding.

In the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the casino is no longer run by Team Rocket and their hideout is inaccessible, but several characters make references to its existence three years prior. It is now called the '''Celadon Game Corner''' and the poster yields nothing, a nod to its role in the prequels. Its slogan also changed to mention that it's a "fun place for everyone".

In FireRed and LeafGreen, there is a Pokémon Printer in the corner of the building which takes a [[Photography|photo]] of the player's current [[party]] to put on the back of his or her {{ga|Trainer Card}}.

In the Korean and Western releases of HeartGold and SoulSilver, as a result of changes in the classification standards at {{wp|Pan European Game Information|PEGI}}<ref>[http://www.gamesradar.com/european-pokemon-platinums-missing-game-corner-explained/ European Pokemon Platinum's missing Game Corner explained | GamesRadar]</ref>, which [[Slot machine#European Platinum|previously impacted the European release]]s of {{game|Platinum}} (including the English version), [[Game Freak]] decided to alter the layout of the Celadon Game Corner to better fit the replacement minigame [[Voltorb Flip]]. In these versions, it is owned by [[Mr. Game]], who runs the Voltorb Flip minigame.

The [[Gym guide]] of the [[Celadon Gym]] can be found here, instead of advising the player on how to defeat [[Erika]].

The service desk, featured in the first three [[generation]]s and the Japanese versions of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, is attended by a woman and a man. The woman on the left welcomes players and tells them that coins can be exchanged for prizes next door, while the man on the right sells coins at the following rates:

In the [[Generation II]] games, there are thirty slot machines in the Game Corner, with eight of them having people already seated at them. One of these people will give the player a single coin.

One to three coins can be put in the slot machine each play. One coin will only count the center row across, two coins will count all three rows across, and three coins will count all three rows across as well as both diagonals. The reels stop spinning when the A button is pressed.

One to three coins can be put in the slot machine each play. One coin will only count the center row across, two coins will count all three rows across, and three coins will count all three rows across as well as both diagonals. The reels stop spinning when the A button is pressed.

Only the Japanese version of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} has slot machines. These slot machines play differently than in the Generation II games. Pressing A stops the reels from left to right; however, the Control Pad controls both coin insertion and reel starting. Additionally, slot machine payouts can actually vary per machine, and are typically more in line with the [[Sinnoh]] games as opposed to the original Generation II games.

As players use the slot machine, a {{p|Smeargle}} depicted on the top screen and seen painting can change the background of the top screen's monitor, and any change in background changes slot effects. A green background signals normal play, a red background signals that it's easier to obtain a 7 or [[Poké Ball]], and a blue background signals that it's easier to obtain a {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Marill}}.

The jackpot for three 7's is 100 + 2x, while the jackpot for three Poké Balls is 100 + x, where x starts at 0, may increase whenever a non-jackpot symbol is lined up, and resets to 0 after every bonus game.

A bonus game is started by winning a jackpot. Lining up three 7's starts a 15-round bonus game, while three Poké Balls will trigger an 8-round bonus. In this bonus game, players attempt to perfectly line up a randomly chosen one of [[Johto]]'s [[starter Pokémon]], and the machine may provide some assistance. Bonus game payouts vary depending on success, as well as the slot machine's speed during bonus games. At the end of a bonus game, the background automatically becomes red. This lets players "chain" together jackpots and bonus games; however, the bonus game difficulty increases (up to a maximum) with each chained jackpot.

The [[card flip]] minigame is exclusive to the [[Generation II]] games. Players can pick either a card or a group of cards, similar in nature to [[Roulette]], which was included in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. In playing card flip, players place bets on cards that may be flipped over. The deck used contains 24 cards: each one has both a number (between one and six) and a picture of a Pokémon (either {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Oddish}}, or {{p|Poliwag}}). Once twelve cards have been drawn, the deck will be reshuffled. Bets can be placed on a single card, on a single column, on a single row, on a pair of columns, or on a pair of rows.

The Voltorb Flip minigame is exclusive to the Korean and Western releases of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and replaces the [[slot machine]]s present in the Japanese version. Pre-release reviews of the game described Voltorb Flip as "{{wp|Minesweeper (Computer Game)|Minesweeper}} meets {{wp|Picross}}".<ref name="Voltorb Flip">[http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=14990 Official Nintendo Magazine pre-release review of Voltorb Flip]</ref>

The game features a five-by-five grid of tiles, underneath which are hidden numbers (which multiply the player's score if located) and {{p|Voltorb}} (which {{m|Self-Destruct|Selfdestruct}} and cause the player to lose all points). The player has a change to figure out where the Voltorb are located by using the clues provided: the number of coins and Voltorb in each line and column are noted at the sides of the playing field. If the player can find all of the 2× and 3× multipliers, they will be able to advance to harder levels. Winning at this game, as before, will earn the player [[Coin]]s, which can be traded for prizes.

In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} is guarding a poster. After the grunt is defeated, the {{player}} will be able to push the button that opens the entrance to the [[Rocket Hideout]].

The women in this building to the right of the Game Corner will exchange coins for prizes. In all games except for {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, only the booths are visible.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there is a man who will tell the player what [[type]] {{m|Hidden Power}} would be if their Pokémon knew it.

This is an analogy to pachinko parlours in Japan. It is forbidden by Japanese law to directly pay out cash for pachinko balls or tokens, but this regulation is often circumvented as (legally independent) exchange shops are set up nearby, where the players can redeem the prizes for cash.<ref>http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/consumer-electronics/gaming/the-secret-life-of-pachinko</ref>

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

The Rocket Game Corner first appeared in ''[[PS016|Tauros the Tyrant]]'' and ''[[PS017|A Jynx Jinx]]''. Like in the games, the Game Corner was shown to house the entrance to [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Rocket Hideout|hideout]], opened by pressing a secret switch behind a poster. {{adv|Red}}, disguised as a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}, infiltrated the hideout in order to find out about {{adv|Green}}'s whereabouts.

In ''[[PS018|A Tale of Ninetales]]'', {{adv|Blue}} exchanged a big pile of [[coin]]s he had won from the Game Corner slot machines for a {{TP|Blue|Porygon}}.

* Although the [[Goldenrod Game Corner|Goldenrod]] and Celadon Game Corners were changed in the non-Japanese releases of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, all versions (Japanese, Korean, and Western) have every map of the Game Corners: in the Japanese versions, the maps related to [[Voltorb Flip]] and [[Mr. Game]] are unused and have no events or warps programmed, while the Korean and Western versions have the original maps with their warps intact, plus the event to interact with the clerk is still present and the interface used to buy [[coin]]s is functional and was translated. {{TM|78|Captivate}} also remains in the unused Goldenrod Game Corner in the Korean and Western versions, and the [[slot machine]]s in the leftover maps trigger [[Voltorb Flip]] in these versions.

** In all versions of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the Game Corner is depicted as an arcade, instead.
