I managed to get a Filbert badge and I tried to get Tangy, but grabbed Caroline by accident. I can def see myself trying to get free plays everday til I get that damn citrus cat. If I can get extra free plays I wanna get Stitches too. Yep, this evil rabbit has me hooked already..but I will never pay.

You have to use them up when you get the. If you win free plays you can't exit the catcher once the bunny takes you there, and I don't think you can even go back to the home menu if you don't. Can't quite remember though.
Yeah when the fake badges do their flippy thing after you've caught them sometimes they reveal a red target on the back, meaning you've won 2 free plays.
The most I've ever won in one go was the 2 free plays and the 1 free play from collecting 10 fake badges, so a total of 3 free plays all together.

I've been having bad luck with the practice catchers as well. Bummer.
The most free plays I got was 4. Seems like the easiest one to get them from is the hammer ones, but I only saw that one once.

Seems like they're going to be really stingy with how much you can do for free with this, especially since some of the machines seem to require multiple tries to get certain badges to a place where you can even grab/collect them at all. Along with not being able to save up your plays up for a few days and the 'machines' resetting every day, they're going full force with the microtransactions.
A bit of a turn around from Pokemon Shuffle and Rumble World. At least I could enjoy them for a little bit before I ran out of free stuff to do for the day.
I dunno, I can't see it being long until I lose interest entirely with this from how little you can do for free and how ruthless it's being with the microtransactions (it feels like that damn rabbit is taking me to a screen to enter my card details every 2 seconds. I've spent more time hearing him try to fleece me than playing actual crane games). It seems like the next step in what seems to be Nintendo's grand plan to see how far they can push things before even the die hard fans stop lapping it up and just tell them to get ****ed.

I dunno if this as asked already and I'm lazy af to look back and see if it was but do free plays stack?

The hammer one is pretty easy to clear out in a couple of hits or so, especially if you get lucky with the physics, so I got bonus points for each 10 I knocked in, as well as the bonus badge I got.

I wish there were some 'free machines'
Like, for certain games you purchase, there will be a machine for you to get badges on
EG:
Buy ACNL- Get a free ACNL machine
Buy Triforce Heroes- Get a free LoZ machine
Buy ORAS- Get a free pokemon machine
They might have to limit plays, but it would still be nice

The arcade sucks..
In the UK it's ?0.90 for 5 turns, which is almost 3 dollars when transferred into American currency.
Why is it that the UK always gets the short end of the stick? It's WAY over priced, especially considering you can probably win 1 (at minimum) badge per 5 turns.
Nintendo are pigs.

Holy crap, Nintendo EU are really mean. Didn't something similar happen with them getting less amiibo cards for the same/higher price too? x.e
EDIT: I just laughed at a really stupid da-feet pun, someone save me.
EDIT 2: I just got my second (or third) free promotional play. Not one from the practice machine, but the one they give out just because.
EDIT 3: I just got 4 additional free plays, and that's from messing up the first time. If you've got the Mario Maker practice catcher, go for the Chain Chomp's head.
EDIT 4: OH god they added more Splatoon ones and I didn't notice so I used up my free tries on something else ;o;
