Since beating the League, I've been doing a lot of critter collecting. Bringing old favorites over via Pal Park, slowly working through the little post-game sidequests and the weird new evolutions (Tangela evolves now? Tangela?) More on that later.
My sister has been continuing with her game as well and tonight we exchanged the final few types required so that we could both complete the Sinnoh Pokedex. Then I hustled back to the Game Designer at that hotel to collect my prize for finding all 150...
(That's my sister coming over and pointing out that the smegging background is even identical to the one you get for simply seeing all 150, as opposed to actually catching all 150. Cheap!)
Give us a rare egg, a unique item, some stupid ribbon or contest gear. Anything. You don't even get a nugget. Instead, you get a dippy certificate that you'll never see again. It's not even one of the accomplishments that adds a star to your trainer card. It really pisses me off that the game even has the nerve to play the "You Found Something!" sound when the guy says he has a (non) award to give you.
For something that is ostensibly the whole purpose of the series, Nintendo sure doesn't give a crap when you do it.
