English releases of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} renamed the {{tc|PI|Gambler}} Trainer class | English releases of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} renamed the {{tc|PI|Gambler}} Trainer class "Gamer" and altered their dialogue to remove references to gambling. The English versions of the [[Generation IV]] games renamed Gamblers to "{{wp|Private investigator|PI}}" instead; however, the references to gambling were kept. | ||
In the European Union, the releases of {{game|Platinum}} replaced the [[slot machine]]s in [[Veilstone City]]'s [[Game Corner]] from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} with non-playable [[Slot machine#European Platinum|game machines]] 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] ([https://archive.today/mRcAt archived copy])</ref> | In the European Union, the releases of {{game|Platinum}} replaced the [[slot machine]]s in [[Veilstone City]]'s [[Game Corner]] from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} with non-playable [[Slot machine#European Platinum|game machines]] 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] ([https://archive.today/mRcAt archived copy])</ref> | ||
All non-Japanese releases of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} replace the slot machines of the two Game Corners in [[Goldenrod City]] and [[Celadon City]] with a new game called [[Voltorb Flip]]. In this minigame, [[coin]]s are not wagered against a win or a loss but instead given out for completing a level. While many find the game to be entertaining, the change removed the ability to buy coins, effectively making Voltorb Flip a requirement for obtaining them. | All non-Japanese releases of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} replace the slot machines of the two Game Corners in [[Goldenrod City]] and [[Celadon City]] with a new game called [[Voltorb Flip]].
