I think Revives are great, I only use them when I really need to.

Why is blue?
I only rarely use them outside the elite 4 because I like to save up on them. So technically, I do use (max) revives.

Ya i save my revives up to until the elite four.
Whenever i go to pokecenter i buy one revive at least no idea why but i do.

Revives are important. It's like using a revival spell in a fantasy game. It takes time, costs a lot (at the beginning, anyway), and you don't have access to it at first. They're in the game for you to use, so why not use them?

There's nothing wrong with it, in the anime ash doesn't have to face every member of the elite 4 then the champion at the same time..

Yeah I just used them for the Elite Four. I was soo underleveled. I needed like 50 of those.

They help me to win a battle if I'm in a pinch. Like I have only one or two pokemon left, the opponent's HP is really low, I use a Revive followed by a Super/Hyper Potion if I can, my pokemon dies and I switch to the other pokemon and I win. I see no problem in that. Sure, the other trainers aren't programmed to do that, but it's fine with me. I don't see myself not using Phoenix Downs in Final Fantasy when the enemies can't just revive other fallen enemies, so of course I'll use Revives in Pokemon where the opponents can't do that. It's the same thing for me.

oh hai there
I only use them when I need to like if I only have 1 remaining pokemon and it's about to faint in a battle but if I'm not in a battle I like to go to the pokemon center. Free healthcare FTW

I think they're fine. I wanna know how exactly they work, though - are they basically a synthetic Revival Herb, or is it something else?

i think they are little crystals that sort of dissolve in the pokemon's mouth
kinda like HP trapped in amber

I don't use them normally during battle (because I find that at times you fall into a trap) but other than that I use them after battles if I don't feel like going to the Pokemon Center, or if I'm battling the E4.

I don't use them that much, seeing as though I don't need to >_>

They're perfectly fine to use. What if you are in a cave and only have one more Pokemon left at a low level?
 
I'll use them and I find them to be fair game. It's not like illegal or anything, it's just a helpfull item that NPCs never have on them.

Revives I use whenever I feel like using them, since Poké Marts sell them.
Max Revives, on the other hand, I collect, because Poké Marts don't sell them. :)
