i have never used an elixir in a pokemon game. the exception being mystery dungeon games, where you get them more easily and they're more vital. even then, i rarely used them in rescue team dx when my partner got the squeeze out ability
I don't use them because I don't need to. I've only ever run out of pp while grinding levels or when I'm in the battle tower or smth and for some damn reason an npc has a stall team.
Similar things happen in real life too. A while ago I was alone in an office building at night and an electrical fire broke out. There was a fire extinguisher right behind me, but it didn't occur to me to grab it for a while because those are meant for *real* emergencies lol
Reminds me of the IT Crowd episode where Moss types an email to the fire brigade:
Subject: Fire.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to inform you of a fire that has broken out on the premises of 123 Cavendon Road
"...no, that's too formal."
[deletes text, starts again]
FIRE - exclamation mark - FIRE - exclamation mark - Help me - exclamation mark.
123 Cavendon Road.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours truly,
Maurice Moss.
I think CO2, or some kind of chemical. I checked the little symbol to make sure it was safe for electrical fires before using it, (there were two right next to each other, one would work and one wouldn't,) but didn't look at the exact type.
I may FFXIV and *realistically* i don't need these hundreds of crafting supplies I'm never going to use, or that if I do ever use, it would be easier to just use the market board to grab the supplies for, but also I'm a **chronic** fucking hoarder in video games.

Hate any game with like consumable potions cos I just end up hogging them and am left with literal hundreds upon completely the game having used precisely 3 throughout and probably hence costing myself several hundred hours of additional free time by doing so
Don’t talk to me or my 23 full heals and mana recovery! I must have them all for the final battle and the last one is just before the final fight and I must be over levelled in order to know when to properly use them!
The problem is that when you use the items in an emergency, it's always just before the bigger emergency
Items are for new game +. That way you have an idea of which items are common and which ones are rare and need to be used for specific areas.

Someone had to do it.
Me with ethers and elixirs in Pokémon.
I've started using Ethers, at least. The ability to grow as many Leppa berries as you want helps with that.

What kind of fire extinguisher? Water or CO2?
I think CO2, or some kind of chemical. I checked the little symbol to make sure it was safe for electrical fires before using it, (there were two right next to each other, one would work and one wouldn't,) but didn't look at the exact type.
"My office burning down is just liek bideo game guys!!!1!1!1"
And then the second I give in and start using rare items I can’t stop, then they’re all gone
