Global PokédeX Plus Forums _ GPXPlus Discussion _ i see random NPC (salesman) engaging to slowpoke tails traffic not far away of the old man

Posted by: Thor94 Apr 20 2012, 07:01 PM

During my lab search, i have encountered a salesman (same place as oldman and treasure chests) who offer me a slowpoke tail for 200000P$.

As i had lot of money, i buy it grin.gif (i am addicted grin.gif )

But, no theory for his function (in versions it's useless)

And you, have you seen this smuggler?Have you accepted his deal?

Posted by: KiD MiCro Apr 20 2012, 10:03 PM

yup i do buy it as soon as i spotted him~ it might have some uses in GPX~ can't wait to see it~

Posted by: leoknighted Apr 20 2012, 10:53 PM

i cant wait till i see him, though i dont even have enough money for it lol... i need to work on saving up my points instead of spending.

Posted by: Mudd E Apr 21 2012, 10:21 AM

I saw him once but when I went to click on him, he disappeared! noes.gif

Hoping I see him again...

Posted by: Moonlit Apr 21 2012, 12:14 PM

I want to find him and take all of his tails and get the heck out of there. XD

Posted by: Freeze Shock Apr 21 2012, 12:35 PM

Yup. I found him first ;D Well got the first ever Slowpoke Tail off of him. /bragging rights.
No use yet but I wouldn't mind another one oh.gif

Posted by: Zero Gravity May 22 2012, 07:50 PM

So I was clicking like a mad man, when suddenly, some guy appeared before me, and offered me a Slowpoke tail for 200,000, which I agreed.
If you look at my inventory it's under Mystery Items with the letter.

Did anyone else get a Slowpoke tail?

Posted by: Doodlebug2000R May 22 2012, 07:54 PM

what does a slowpoke tail do

Posted by: Zero Gravity May 22 2012, 08:06 PM

Currently? nothing

Posted by: SoMaPoKiTo May 22 2012, 08:32 PM

Question: Did you have a full party when you found the Shady Salesman?

Posted by: Zero Gravity May 22 2012, 08:56 PM

i don't believe so, I kept a slot open in my party incase I wanted to ressurect, summon or get a missingno/manaphy

Posted by: SoMaPoKiTo May 22 2012, 09:05 PM

Oh, thanks for answering, though. And the question of whether a Slowpoketail can be bought with a full party remains unsolved...for now...

Posted by: Rhapsody May 22 2012, 09:13 PM

Since this was technically a duplicate topic, I merged it with the older one. :)

The Shady Salesman works like the Little Man or Manaphy eggs, but also seems to be bound by the party limit. The item itself is for bragging rights and to prove that you had a ton of points to spend.

The possible party bug can be read about here.

Posted by: Whoot Virus May 23 2012, 03:03 AM

too bad when the police is knocking and you get banned for a week because of helping in pokemon cruelty... grin.gif

i wonder for what these tails are good... it must be for evil stuff oO

Posted by: sinx May 23 2012, 08:30 AM

I didn't even know these existed let alone see one. o-o

Posted by: Freeze Shock Jun 3 2012, 12:25 PM

Welp, I got my 3rd at reset this morning cat.gif 600k down the drain... lol.

Posted by: Rangetsu Jun 3 2012, 09:38 PM

Weird o.0 I hoard dress up stuff from the shop, so I probaly won't get it XD

Posted by: ShadowMightyena Jun 3 2012, 10:48 PM

I sure haven't spotted this man yet.

Posted by: Moonlit Jun 3 2012, 11:14 PM

I have seen this man once, and my tail has been sitting in my inventory, practically being forgotten about.

Still, I can't shake the feeling that they will have some other purpose or use in the future...

Just because it's for bragging rights now doesn't mean it won't have a real purpose in the future. The Mysterious Letter was also basically a bragging-rights trophy for awhile before it became the key to the beta site, and it sounds like its true purpose isn't even out yet, so you *could* argue that it's still just for bragging rights. The Black/White Tokens were completely functionless for several months after the Dream World section of the Shelter was closed. The Battle Items (Black Belt, Mystic Water, etc) were available for weeks as functionless bragging-rights "Mystery Boxes" before the Vs. Seeker was revealed.

Basically what I'm trying to say is, the Slowpoketail may well get a use in the future, too, or it may not. Nobody knows but Big Bidoof, Zerxer, and Wymsy... Rhapsody's a forum mod, not an admin of GPX+ itself, so there's no reason to assume she has insider info on what the admins intend to do with the Slowpoketail. Her post is talking about the Slowpoketail's current status, not locking out any possibility for its future status.

I NEED to find him... as soon as I get more money.

Posted by: Dragonflames1994 Jun 4 2012, 08:17 PM

Wow this is cool...I hope I see him soon.

Posted by: Obsidian Shadow Jul 19 2012, 06:14 PM

I saw a dude on my poketch (Where chests, manaphy eggs and Mysterious old men appear) offering to sell me a SlowpokeTail for 200k. I tried to accept but it told me that I was not allowed to. Anyone have similar experiences?

Posted by: Spades Slick Jul 19 2012, 06:24 PM

Merging with existing topic. Please make sure to search for similar discussion topics in the future.

Posted by: GummyBearGluey Aug 2 2012, 02:00 PM

I saw him... Though i said no cause i had no clue what it was and 200k would only leave me with 20k...

some of us believe that you have to have an open slot in your party, like when you get the Manaphy egg and the MissingNo. Egg in order to buy the stupid thing, and we still have yet to know what it does

You don't have to have a slot open.
I have 3, and I always have a full party unless I'm in the shelter filling it up. XD Got all of them from the users page as I was clicking though, so I definitely had a full party every time.

Actually it was... changed or there was a bug. Before, he could appear any time but you could only get the tail if you have a full party. if you try to make a space in your party he would disappear. I guess it's been changed, now.

How much money do you need for him to appear?
I have over 1 million points and have never seen him.

I don't think you need any amount of points. It's just random.

I've gotten 3 Slowpoketails. I hope they don't ban me for collecting Pokemon parts...

Posted by: Synchronize Sep 22 2012, 06:26 AM

Just had him appear three times this month, the third time as soon as I logged in today. I wish I could replace these with Chest events...

Posted by: Mintabani Sep 22 2012, 01:57 PM

I have never seen that guy... I don't have adequate points anyway :I

Posted by: Indig0 Sep 25 2012, 06:38 PM

I've seen him twice. The first time I didn't know if I should buy it, and he went away... Am I the kind of person who supports the Slowpoke tail trade? I feel like I'm not.
...But then I saw him again, and I bought it, because I'm not doing anything else with all my points.

Posted by: Mysticman89 Sep 25 2012, 06:44 PM

My guess is they'll be for an achievement called "sucker!" or something like that down the road, requiring you to have a certain number of them.

I have 3 so far, and I really need to stop buying them as Ultra PC Boxes seem much more practical...

Posted by: Soma Ghost Sep 25 2012, 08:04 PM

[Earlier Today]
*Sees Shady Salesman*
Welp, lemme put another 200K into the Slowpoketail Market! And with a full party, too! grin.gif

Posted by: Clara Oswin Sep 28 2012, 03:45 PM

I have just seen him, for the second time. Obviously, I refused again. Who wants to waste that much on something as useless? If it gets a function, then I will take it.

Posted by: Kellan Sep 30 2012, 06:21 PM

Totally thought of https://i.chzbgr.com/completestore/12/7/22/WW33kOwYGUSst7ozFRLS6g2.jpg when you asked where officer Jenny was. But seriously don't support illegal un-taxed sales by street merchants.

Posted by: Zero Gravity Oct 1 2012, 01:14 AM

I found the monster cutting off the poor Slowpoke's tails for my 2nd time...
...
...
I bought another one...
...
...
HE IS VERY PERSUASIVE!

EDIT:
He got me again this morning ._.

EDIT:
4th time... and 3rd time today.... I'm such a sucker ._.

Posted by: Obsidian Shadow Oct 2 2012, 12:05 AM

I've seen him 3 times, bought once. It's a shame you can't buy it with a full party though...

It was recently changed so you can, I believe.

Posted by: Aeschylus Oct 2 2012, 02:01 AM

Seen him twice, only bought a tail the first time.

Posted by: H1Z1 Oct 3 2012, 02:40 AM

I've seen him a total of 5 times but the first two times it blocked me because of the party being full. Most recent one was over the weekend after getting back from a tiring day at Canterlot Gardens.

Loving to have a use for my money but at the same time I'm supposed to be trying to build up money for the end of the year to waste on total shenanigans.

Posted by: Keruso Oct 4 2012, 02:58 PM

Just saw this guy for the first time ever since the new site started up......and wouldnt you know it, i dont have enough money. serves me right for buying Repels so i can find Unowns in the Lab that i dont have yet

Posted by: 100 Drops Of Oil On Water Oct 5 2012, 10:28 AM

Bought my third SlowpokeTail and I had a full party!

Posted by: Panda14616 Oct 19 2012, 02:17 PM

Got my first one for $200,000 on October 19,2012!

Posted by: Samoo Oct 19 2012, 02:56 PM

got my 6th today

Posted by: Saxons Redux Oct 25 2012, 11:52 AM

Saw this first the first time. No idea what it was, until I searched the forums.

Didnt have the 200k though. ):

Posted by: Keruso Oct 27 2012, 11:04 AM

saw this guy for the second time and bought my first tail..........why would i do that?

Posted by: PhoenixTears Oct 27 2012, 02:08 PM

I've only seen the guy once, and, of course, it was while I was working up to 1 million points, so I didn't want to throw away 200k on that. Now that I have plenty of points to throw away, he's nowhere to be found.

Posted by: Panda14616 Oct 29 2012, 08:36 AM

Got 2nd visit from him October 29, 2012. There goes another $200,000 down the drain.

Posted by: Darth Krytie Oct 29 2012, 04:43 PM

I have nine slowpoketails now. Everytime I get close to 5 mil. points, he shows up and I end up buying a tail.

and not long after this, i see him again right before reset happens. im only 5k short this time around for him

Posted by: Panda14616 Nov 5 2012, 04:29 PM

3rd one November 5, 2012. I had a full party at the time so I guess you don't need an empty slot after all.

Posted by: The Enigma Nov 7 2012, 05:06 AM

The highest amount of points I've ever gotten is about 60,000 points, so obviously I've never gotten a slice of Slowpoke. Poor Slowpoke... YOU PEOPLE ARE MEANIES o_o


Posted by: Vibrancy Nov 13 2012, 08:24 PM

Got my 5th tail today. He knocked me down under 4 Million. XD I still have like 3.9 though, and I never spend my points on anything, so.

I hope we find out what they do soon! I'm really curious.

Posted by: Swizzle Nov 14 2012, 05:21 AM

I've seen this guy twice, but trying to buy the tail glitched for some reason and I never received one.

I hope I'll see him again someday...
