It sounds like a pretty huge ordeal, but it's kind of a waste -- all anyone ever does in those places in run to the front desk, heal their dudes, then run back out for more adventures and stuff.

Ummmm...those healing centers? They draw a tiny bit of life essence from the pokemons each time they heal. Rumor is they are feeding a legendary Gorgonix that will bring about the end of time.

So...can I heal my pokemon if I go there?
Posted: Oct 29th 2010 1:13PM DarkSonata said
@Nytemare yeah, there is an wireless network controlled by hundreds of girls dressed of nurse joy to detect and connect to your gameboy/DS and insta-heal your pokemons, even if your DS has no power.. yeah it works with red blue versions on the gameboy as well!!!
no..

You were pretty close! It's actually a Japanese city. Better luck next time.
(Population 2.6 million...or 3.7 million during the working day. Awesome. I love Wikipedia.)

@ben linus It seriously is a Japanese restaurant. http://www.osakaseafoodsteakhouse.com/ And a good one at that.

...we know it's a restaurant.
But that's like saying "What the heck is California? Oh, you must be talking about the Grill."

The only thing is that what is now Nintendo World is 10,000 sq ft. And used to be the pokemon center so i guess you could say that one was larger.
