Mother Calls
 

"Hi, [Trainer name]! I found a useful item while shopping, so I spent it with your money. Sorry! But I asked the deliveryman to take it to you, so you should check the nearest Poké Mart or Department Store. I'll talk to you later!"

When have you seen this during a major plot point? I've gotten it after disbanding Team Rocket, catching the Red Gyarados at Lake of Rage, beating Morty, Whitney, and Clair, and after completing the Safari Zone Test(s).

I saw it in Slowpoke Well, Whirl Islands, Dragon's Den, in Team Rocket's Hideout, and shortly after beating the Champion.

(renamed thread since I don't think this needs moving)

I've never had any of that happen to me, in fact I ended call everyone in my phonebook today to see if I can get any items.

I haven't seen it because mom doesn't save my money. :3

I've received many berries from our mother, but occasionally she'll buy a pretty nifty item for us. She recently purchased me a Focus Sash, a Muscle Band, and I believe a Choice Scarf. I love our mother. <3

Mine got me a Moon Stone.
I needed a Moon Stone.

She actually called me as soon as I walked out of the house. She's such a nutcase... :roll:

As far as I know its mostly random, as I've seen it literally everywhere. Most items are the very valuable type berries, which are incredibly hard to get in DPPt.

That lady calls me all the time, at the most inconvenient times as well, but thanks to her I see they improved the reception on our Pokegear from the last game. (We must have switched to Verizon lol)

Damn, She calls me every five minutes if I haven't collected everything,its ridiculous.

Same here.

Wow.
*Calls his mom to save him money*

I'm sure she'll be a great Geico representative.

I tend to see it almost after every battle. Does that mean my mother loves me or hates me?

I don't see why you would not accept her saving money, she gets great items for you! :D She tends to call me after every Gym Battle I have. Perhaps because of the large cash prize?

Just got a choice scarf. :D

My mom is so thoughtful.

*Ring* *Ring*
Hello? I saw some Geico you might like, so I bought it with your money, and saved you 15% or more on car insurance!

*Hangs up*

....

....

I don't even have a car....

i have never seem it call after anything important. but i think the calls depend on the steps you take

She always calls me after EVERYTHING. It gets a little annoying but, free berries.

She recently got me a Choice item, but I forgot which one exactly.
Go mother! You rock!

Same here.

I mean she called me 8 times during the Goldenrod Incident. I didn't mind her phone calls (as they are the only good ones get) and I actually got a Muscle Band which help me and my Sword Wind(Pidgeotto) during the Incident but its mainly berries and it annoys me some times

But they're usually *rare* berries that hard to find in D/P/Pt! There's always an upside!

Free?
No, they're hardly free...She takes half your money, spends it on expensive berries, then might go and spend it on herself!
At least she might get you Choice items in HGSS...

Does she still spend money on herself in HGSS or does she only spend it on you? If so, I might let her save my Kanto money...

This mother got me a lot of fantastic berries, stones and items. I love that mom.

I actually wait for her to call me.I love free stuffs!

I always get calls from her. Mostly after when I'm done battling people.

You guys are lucky! I just get berries...

Every time I get one of these calls I think to myself: "Woman, I trusted you with my money, and you go spending it on every fool thing that comes with a pretty name tag?! What kind of savings is that, huh?! Dipping into MY money, which you promised to save FOR ME!!"

The items are good, but I wouldn't trust that woman with anything.

Too many berries!!!! I have like 15 more items waiting for me.

I talked to quilava while standing next to Mom once.
Quilava wants to give your mom the charcoal it's holding.
You know what I said? "Don't give it to her, Quilava. She'll just go out and spend it on items you don't need."

For a while she bought me useful items, i.e. Choice Scarf, Focus Sash, but now she only buys me the berries, all of which I already have.

I just wish the phone was actually useful for something. Other than mother, you just get stupid calls, people to rechallenge, or the RARE item or swarm. The phone's only real use is for calling up gym leaders, and even that gets boring.

She calls eme a bunch of times in a bunch of important side quests
During the Goldenrod Tower incident she called and said she bought me a berry and then during the Mhaogany Town incident she bought me a choice item :3
at least something good out of the two :3

I normally don't save money because normally she gives me berries I don't need or something dumb like a Super Potion, but last run I was raising a Nidorino and told her to save my money, and stopped when she bought me a Moon Stone. Which wasn't until I got to Blackthorn City :/ And she was saving from the beginning of the game.

if you want her to stop just dont pick anything up after 5 items she will stop buying things
i have maxed out money with her and whats on me

I wouldn't call mine major plot events, but here it goes. I got a call after beating Bugsy, and also after getting to the top of the Olivine lighthouse. Just imagine the look on Jasmine's (I think) face when you get up there and your Pokégear rings.

Some items only appear once. I've seen all of them. Now all she gets me are berries i've got 30 of already. The only good berry she got me was a Liechi Berry. It's the one 10th event Jirachi holds.

you guys are lucky i have the trainer's mother save the money, but i get is like trainer calls not the mother calling you and saying you have a super potion in the pc.

I've gotten all of the one-time items, so I usually just ignore the calls since I don't need more berries that I already have.

I was smart and told her I'll keep my own money.
