holiday alts are just the worst on average

rotund sleet
hardy creek
#

holiday alts are ugly and the fused kyurem forms are also ugly wahwah

#

don't do nate like that wahwah

upbeat lotus
#

rotund sleet
#

marnie is solid, but grimmsnarl carries

lean mango
hardy creek
#

rotund sleet
#

summer lyra has nice colours

#

the EX

hardy creek
#

don't like steven, gloria, or marnie

rotund sleet
#

i love summer steven

lean mango
#

If I ever do selects df doin Summer Steven

hardy creek
#

lyra is cute tho and I liked this year's summer alts (tho them getting more alts so soon after has kind of ruined them for me)

lean mango
#

He just pulls off everything

rotund sleet
#

this years i don't even remember

#

N was lame

lean mango
#

Hilda

#

I like

rotund sleet
#

don't even remember what she looks like

hardy creek
#

I thought jp summer festival was a lot nicer than just beachwear

maiden kayak
#

New year alts are best wdym

rotund sleet
maiden kayak
#

oh yea halloween too

#

the rest all scked

rotund sleet
#

halloween tops everything else by a longshot imo

#

for seasonals

#

on avg

#

furbert is the only miss

sturdy hatch
#

Anni is the best seasonal

lean mango
#

Fall Morty is pretty much his best outfit

maiden kayak
#

Best outfit still goes to Ny lillie EX

rotund sleet
#

3.0 not so much

lean mango
#

Thing with seasonals, is that I hate same region pairs

#

Like cmon mix em up

hardy creek
#

2nd anni was peak vegetakneel

maiden kayak
#

summer/xmas has the most shit outfits but this year was an improvement

lean mango
#

I liked this Summer's story just still dissapointed that it was 2 Unovan pairs

sturdy hatch
lean mango
upbeat lotus
#

this year Palentine was Galar only

lean mango
#

Oh right

#

Forgot that event completely

upbeat lotus
umbral meteor
#

thats not amazing?

rotund sleet
#

no lol

lean mango
#

tbh no

rotund sleet
#

from an opinionated perspective

#

obviously

upbeat lotus
#

2 Pikachu were lame

umbral meteor
rotund sleet
#

oh i also like palentines

#

prob second best season

umbral meteor
#

nostalgia always wins

lean mango
#

I was fine with Ash

#

Just not Red and Cynthia

umbral meteor
#

nostalgia >>>>>> fancy

rotund sleet
#

i'm glad 3.0 sold well, i just personally skipped everything

upbeat lotus
#

SST Red is just the recolor version of SS Red with some minor stuff added

rotund sleet
#

and thought it was boring

umbral meteor
#

probably boring coz 2nd had legendaries

lean mango
#

I didn't like SSA Cynthia's outfit tbh

umbral meteor
#

but it eventually has to downgrade anw

rotund sleet
#

i started the game on 2.5 anni

umbral meteor
#

altho pairings were peak

rotund sleet
#

no idea what second anni had

upbeat lotus
#

Anni Lillie / Steven / N

umbral meteor
rotund sleet
#

i don't like any of the aforementioned three

#

either

lean mango
#

I liked that they were all from different regions

rotund sleet
#

i don't care about legendary pokemon, but 3.0 anni was boring for other reasons

upbeat lotus
#

All anni pairs were from differeng regions, well except Kanto trio lel

umbral meteor
#

But 3rd was also diff regions what

#

ash was just collab

upbeat lotus
#

Ash is from Kanto???

rotund sleet
#

cynthia felt tacked on, and double pika is still a boring ass decision

lean mango
#

He didn't have a region?

umbral meteor
#

the real reason is probably just ppl wanted legendaries

rotund sleet
#

but tbf red already got his most iconic mons

#

idk what he'd use

umbral meteor
hardy creek
#

3rd anni pairs didn't feel anni

umbral meteor
hardy creek
#

like there was nothing about them that made u think "this is a celebration"

umbral meteor
rotund sleet
#

it feels like they had a decent concept in red vs ash, which would rile up anyone in the pokemon community understandably, but then they didn't really think past that lol

upbeat lotus
#

Ash vs Red was a scam

umbral meteor
hardy creek
#

also the fact that like........ they were all kind of all over the place. no cohesion. like I'd say 1st anni pairs still felt anni in their own way because an icon trio. there was cohesion with them. 2nd anni pairs had less cohesion but still felt like they were all for one specific event and their outfits also added to the anni feel. ash, red, cynthia just felt like 3 random pairs all shoved in at once

upbeat lotus
#

they didnt interact with each other

rotund sleet
#

but idk, nobody likes mew2 X

#

lol

hardy creek
#

and yeah 2 pikas at once + lucario was also weird

#

like if they were all different mons, sure. if they were all pika, sure. but lucario just felt like the odd one out

umbral meteor
rotund sleet
#

anni 3.0 was def iconic

hardy creek
#

it felt all over the place

umbral meteor
lean mango
#

Ash wasn't even in Ash's and Cynthia's event was he?

rotund sleet
umbral meteor
umbral meteor
#

red and cynthia were completely separate duo

rotund sleet
#

i never cared for pika as a pokemon, same with lucario, so it was doomed in its conception for me

umbral meteor
rotund sleet
#

i think u can def call cynthia iconic

#

literally the most popular character from the games

umbral meteor
#

ofc i just meant as a pairing

rotund sleet
#

oh right, that's not what i'm getting at

umbral meteor
#

ah

lean mango
rotund sleet
#

every single part of 3.0 was iconic if you look at it in a vacuum, but in exeuction, it turned out lame

#

for whatever reason

umbral meteor
#

even their event medals were diff

hardy creek
#

they just threw 3 iconic pairs in the game with no thought for anni visuals, if that makes sense???? everything just felt unbalanced and all over the place. Ash & pika are iconic. Red & pika are iconic. Cynthia & lucario are..... Cynthia & lucario. but while they're work alone, they don't work well together as a trio, visually

umbral meteor
#

Which if you see 1st and 2nd they had a common medal for all 3 pairs

rotund sleet
#

all the components of the pairs in isolation definitely are iconic

#

but put together

#

idk

#

just uninteresting

#

but idrc i got to save that month

#

lol

hardy creek
#

yeah I think the 2 separate events also made it weaker

umbral meteor
#

japan was mad at ash and pika

hardy creek
#

doesn't help that all the advertising was for smth that wasn't in either of said events

rotund sleet
#

if they put out ash after the recent anime events, i think sales would have been really crazy

hardy creek
#

time for fastest rerun to date BarryPogChamp

rotund sleet
#

like they were a couple months too early lol

#

oh well, they had to for 3rd anni

hardy creek
#

VolknerDed hope 4th anni has more cohesion

upbeat lotus
#

hope the game live till 4th anni

hardy creek
#

eos soontm

violet nebula
#

Yus

rotund sleet
#

apparently JP prices spiked

#

so we'll see how it performs from here ig

#

if there are signs of discontinuation i'm jumping ship early. i'm also not spending

#

i have not an iota of trust in gacha longevity

hardy creek
#

I've had one gacha game die on me but I hadn't spent on it before it died

violet nebula
#

Noice

hardy creek
#

will be a sad day when one of the games I actually spend on dies

#

😌

umbral meteor
#

i mean ppl werent satisfied with either main anni anw

#

1st anni we had complaints for ss blue kit , 2nd anni we had complaints for lillie and steven kits and 3rd anni we have complaints for mons

#

WEEZing what can you do

umbral meteor
#

they have too many options left and it makes huge money

#

the playerbase may get bored and die but the whales wont stop

lunar topaz
umbral meteor
#

the other dena gacha which we havent even heard of is in its 8th year

#

and we expect the gacha of the biggest franchise to die so early?

#

dena knows how to handle gachas okay? WEEZing

lunar topaz
#

They didn’t know how to handle tour

umbral meteor
umbral meteor
upbeat lotus
#

wtf Jass are you replying to every comment

hardy creek
#

I mean I wouldn't expect lillie, N, and steven to have any cohesion but they made it work

umbral meteor
#

lol lets be real the complaints for this anni was mons

#

they just have to use better mons

#

and thats legendaries

hardy creek
#

just need outfits with a cohesive theme, mons of a similar rarity/that look good together, and an event that features all 3 anni units

umbral meteor
#

well only reason 3rd had 2 events was because ash was anime exclusive

#

that wont happen again so probably would be a single event

umbral meteor
#

they still have red and mewtwo left so i wouldnt be too worried but their most big options are alr exhausted

hardy creek
#

my main issue with pikas and lucario is it was 2 pikas then lucario just like 🧍

umbral meteor
#

lets count it as 1 pika and 1 lucario

#

it was separate events anw

hardy creek
#

like if it were pika, lucario, or smth else, then at least there would be more balance amongst the mons

umbral meteor
#

ye

hardy creek
#

yes but all the promotional material had all 3 of them

#

it's like 2 gremlins then an awkward edgelord in the corner

umbral meteor
#

wonder what would have been the reactions been if it was this instead-

ash and greninja
red and mewtwo
cynthia and giratina

lunar topaz
#

Another Cynthia Tina

hardy creek
#

I would have complained about ash/greninja idc ash getting anyone other than pika as his base pair would be a sin

umbral meteor
#

what abt others tho

#

i personally found cynthia/lucario anni and cynthia/giratina christmas quite funny but it was understandable coz lucario is more popular

hardy creek
#

I wouldn't have minded because 3 separate mons tho size difference would have made pika feel out of place, but ig if u frame it in the middle in promotional materials it can probs balance it out a bit

#

wait

#

greninja

#

not as different then

#

would be more balanced

umbral meteor
#

yea

#

and people wouldnt complain abt mons atleast

hardy creek
#

but also ash & greninja CaitlinSleeper

umbral meteor
#

since mewtwo and giratina arent lame ok lol

#

but anw even with lame mons they peaked the fancy 2nd anni in sales WEEZing

hardy creek
#

but yeah idc if the anni pairs are legends or not I just want cohesion/balance

umbral meteor
#

inb4 next year we see bidoof

#

💀

hardy creek
#

lucas and bidoof let's goooooooo LETSGOOOOOOOO

upbeat lotus
#

Anni Lucas & Bidoof as Sinnoh MF

hardy creek
#

honestly wish lucas got bidoof or bibarel instead of dialga 😭

umbral meteor
#

i dont think they will ever beat 2nd anni in terms of fancy anw since it will keep on getting downgraded each anni

#

the more options get exhausted the less fancy it will be

hardy creek
#

like lucas is this sweet, stupid kid then he's got the god of time next to him it feels so weirddd give him bibarel it would work better

#

it's not particularly hard to make fancy outfits

umbral meteor
#

well i meant in fancy pairings

#

obv outfits and kits are in their hand

hardy creek
#

idc about the mon choices as long as it's not multiple of the same mon and as long as it works visually

umbral meteor
#

3rd anni also struggled in outfits as compared to 2nd

#

they just seemed very regular

#

casual sygna suits

hardy creek
#

yeah, outfits sucked

umbral meteor
#

the 1st anni sygnas were good tho

hardy creek
#

but personally I'm just not pressed about mon choices for pairs. I just care about the visuals. if the mon works with the trainer/event theme

umbral meteor
#

ah

#

maybe next year we get better outfits tbh if they go with ( anni 2023 ) seasonals instead of sygnas

hardy creek
#

if the mon works visually, idc if it's magikarp or arceus

umbral meteor
#

since 2nd and 2.5 got p good outfits

hardy creek
#

oh but while I say idc about the mon, would be happy if we could get some cuties. dena loves throwing legends at us every few seconds but so many of them are ugly CaitlinSleeper

umbral meteor
#

lmao

#

victini is so cute

hardy creek
#

oh victini is a cutie

#

but I don't like hilda's outfit CaitlinSleeper

umbral meteor
#

ye its wtv outfit tbh

#

i like n's outfit the most

hardy creek
#

yeye, he looks like he's straight out of a jrpg

umbral meteor
#

his design is so good he looks fancy in every outfit WEEZing

hardy creek
#

I should become an N fan he gets all the good pairs I'm jealous of his fans 😭

umbral meteor
#

lmao

#

well its just his outfits are always good anw

hardy creek
#

black kyurem is an ugly but ||I can turn a blind eye since N's outfit is nice|| remember to save, zenners NessaLuv

umbral meteor
#

they robbed us of white kyurem

drowsy saddle
#

Don't worry, next N alt will be with it

#

He gets all the dragons

My journey shall now begin.

tardy fiber
#

Time for December datamine

umbral meteor
umbral meteor
tardy fiber
#

Finished my goal this month

umbral meteor
#

ah

drowsy saddle
lunar topaz
vernal glade
#

I finished my goal also. It’s time for me to keep watch the upcoming months datamines.

umbral meteor
#

No its not time yet

#

there are 2 weeks left

vernal glade
#

Yes, I know that. I meant whenever a datamine happens.

umbral meteor
#

ah

vernal glade
#

Well, I wish everyone luck saving. Including me.

hardy creek
#

I think dena should give us datamine early just because I want it now 😌

lunar topaz
#

This month felt not very interesting to me unit wise and event wise

drowsy saddle
#

You mean it was interesting saving-wise

lunar topaz
#

Maybe they set the bar high with sswally ||who I regret not going after despite him not being a fav he had a really cool kit||

tardy fiber
#

I am more towards skipping than fully saving, almost every month got legendaries/mythicals/UBs...last time i properly saved probably on sclillie event month

vernal glade
#

Well, only N interested me, that’s really it. I’m just glad I’m only saving for two faves instead of pulling every single Unova units.

tardy fiber
#

Like i almost skipped the anni month but shaymin arrives

#

Skipped the others though

vernal glade
#

Ah yes, Shaymin was another of my faves.

tardy fiber
#

I don't care if the rats can deal 999999 damage, i just skipped due to not faves

vernal glade
#

That bumps to 3 faves for me.

umbral meteor
#

nov 2019 was good tho

#

we got glacia

tardy fiber
#

Past November was also stressful for me ...they released buzzwole, keldeo, celesteela, diancie all at once in a dry month VolknerDed

lunar topaz
#

I loved November last year

#

Albeit it made me have to skip 2 favs

umbral meteor
#

SC PrycePain

#

most dead month in the history

#

still rmb it

lunar topaz
#

I liked the sc as it had 2 of my favs in amazing outfits

tardy fiber
#

At least they improved for spring SC, they rerun spring event and did some other old event rerun to bump the gems up

umbral meteor
#

ye nov 2021 was only 18k while april 2022 30k

vernal glade
#

Ya know, we haven’t had a SC event for a while. (If count Rosa event that is.)

umbral meteor
#

rosa is SC wdym not count it

vernal glade
#

Oh, right.

tardy fiber
#

Yep rosa got special costume in name and tag

vernal glade
#

Anyways, see y’all in a few weeks in here.

grand bramble
#

Free gems today... Im at 43k

livid rover
#

gem update, close to comin back to 100k

grand bramble
tardy fiber
#

50,080 gems left for welcoming December

#

Might minus some for poma day

#

Oh if plus remaining gems might reach 60k plus

summer goblet
#

alright, time to save for the rest of Nov

#

gonna save to 350k gems if possible

#

also, i made an hypocritical humour about not being able to afford christmas unit despite a boatload of gems

chrome nest
#

||So I made mistakes||

summer goblet
chrome nest
#

||I pulled N without a pity and left with 60 gems I know it’s stupid but listen I was overconfident and selfish I should’ve listen to my brain and not gut||

#

||If I manage to get him I’ll save until two pities and that’s an oath||

||Next month is my redemption arc I promise||

At least I have base kyurem 🥲

How much does villain arc chapters give

summer goblet
#

that's cool, at least you have a goal and a burning passion to reach your goals

chrome nest
summer goblet
#

there should be time i think

grand bramble
#

my goal isn't that big.....so all i need to do is carefully maintain my gems.... 43k right now

barren nexus
#

So i have 22k atm, and i rlly wanna summon for hilbert

#

I feel like the smart move is to save to secure a character later down the line, but lord knows when will he be back

drowsy saddle
#

What if you wait for datamine to decide it then?

maiden kayak
#

why do u want to summon him

#

sshilbert is pokefair

#

rerun is very possible

summer goblet
umbral meteor
umbral meteor
#

i dont think that logic is valid now lol

#

well unless you can summon on paid selects then yeah

summer goblet
#

along with Lear

#

but yeah, the poke fair rerun is getting less frequent this days

umbral meteor
#

why is he exception

#

c elesa also reaches 1 year next month with no reeun

#

rerun*

summer goblet
#

back then

umbral meteor
#

sinnoh arc pokefairs didnt rerunned even with arc rerun

summer goblet
#

now its maybe the norm now

umbral meteor
#

Its not

#

it will keep on getting less frequent the more pfs we get

summer goblet
#

yeah true

#

that is a tough choice

#

pick between a pokefair that you love or a master fair that is broken

#

yeah, not returning the Sinnoh VA is a mistake and now i fear the Hoenn Va an't gonna rerun anytime soon that f2p gems

umbral meteor
#

but pfs are always very rare

summer goblet
#

yeah i guess that's true

#

though MF is worth collecting

#

i take my chances of a PF rerun both paid or free and let the old pokefair come to the lodge banner

maiden kayak
tardy fiber
#

PF also got some issues like yeah PF select scout does happen sometimes but they are like 3 times a year with random assortment of units to be selected in each. Also sometimes a bunch of new PFs being added before they release a select. Will be a problem if you kinda want 4/5 pokefairs but they are only one select...or multiple of PF units you wanted in the same particular select

umbral meteor
tardy fiber
#

Like recently ssdawn, ssmorty, ssleon...like bunch people skipped ssleon so its not a problem but people divided between ssmorty or ssdawn

#

Or sscyrus and ssgio in same select

maiden kayak
#

smart tho

summer goblet
#

i had to pick Morty or Dawn and its painful

maiden kayak
#

they put them tgt

tardy fiber
#

Yep thats one of the issues i found with pokefairs, plus recent sinnoh VA rerun without sinnoh VA banners really stinks

summer goblet
#

yep

tardy fiber
#

Like we got about 3/4 limited units a month and fair selects only pop up like 3 times a year...new year, run up to half anni, run up to anni. And all of them have random assortments of units so you are not even sure if you can select the unit you wanted later

thorny pelican
#

like just save your gems

#

like everyone should save their gems

#

just do that

#

Save 'em

tardy fiber
#

Yep save the gems and be selective on the units you wanted

#

You cannot get everyone unless you whale

thorny pelican
#

Like getting everyone isn't the goal lol

#

if it is then there's no saving to be done

#

not even a question, a player trying to get everyone is gonna be in a bad position regardless

#

Like let's say by 4th anniversary I just decide "Hey, I've saved enough, I'm gonna spend gems."

#

4th anniversary comes with all the banners, right?

broken mulch
#

What banners?

thorny pelican
#

All the pokefairs, a few master fairs, maybe rerun seasonals of the year

tardy fiber
#

Usually run up have bunch of banner reruns

#

Anniv not much

thorny pelican
#

But like the example here is that I could spend my gems on those banners and - what? Get them all, right?

#

And then moving forward I just decide to opt in to every rerun banner and new banner we come across to

#

Now like, the first knee jerk reaction to all of that is "Hey that's not fair Chest, you've got like a million gems, you'll get all the units you pop across from that point on"

#

But that's like, the point

#

I saved gems for a solid 4 years SycamorePanic

#

Do you know how many rerun banners that has... everyone on them?

#

My one slight would be Master Fair banners

#

I wouldn't be able to get those guys because they're more or less a commemorative banner that is promotional and powerful, DeNA has been on record stating they really don't wanna rerun those as often

tardy fiber
#

Like i collect my fave legendaries, mythicals, UBs...but they never said the bunch of non faves units i skipped, and they still call me a whale 🐳

thorny pelican
#

I mean heck

#

All I can say is that banners that pop up need to be seen with a grain of salt here

#

What are the odds of these units getting rerun soon? Rerun later? Ran on a combo banner? Put on a paid-choice scout? Given away for free?

tardy fiber
#

I will be much more happy if they improve fair select to have most of the pokefairs, like recent seasonal select.

summer goblet
#

i prefer the MF to rerun a bit more often

#

to at least aprive myself for skipping them

tardy fiber
thorny pelican
#

This game needs Monthly EB challenges that reward up to 1200 or 1500 gems as rewards LanceShrug

tardy fiber
#

Sinnoh VA reruns without EB DrakePain

thorny pelican
#

But the point I'm just trying to make is that there will always be more value to waiting with this game than there would be with opting in the next banner or the next banner or the next banner...

summer goblet
#

true

#

i'm waiting for next month to see what's next

thorny pelican
#

With the specific outlier that, if there is a specific handful of favorites you like that will come out, that is where your goals are

summer goblet
#

to be honest, i kinda gave up on character favs at this point

#

not until Dena treats the minority right

#

and stop pandering to overrated charcter

maiden kayak
#

means more opportunity to save

summer goblet
maiden kayak
#

my next goal 612k gems

thorny pelican
#

It's kinda hilarious that the protagonists, characters that the player positions themselves as in their mainline games, receive more focus and alts than developed and external characters

tardy fiber
#

Also i think people need to budget their gems spending based on how big their fave list, like i knew i have a big list and i had to spend a bit money to collect them all...cannot have a big list but expect to spend only a little to collect them all

maiden kayak
#

still long way to go

summer goblet
maiden kayak
#

Holylight

thorny pelican
#

Sorry Gon you're outta the runnin' 🏃‍♂️

summer goblet
#

dang

maiden kayak
#

dude havent spend a gem ever since feb

#

iirc

thorny pelican
#

Now that Gon's a mod he's got sweet access to those developer gem pools BigWhale

#

I have seen it

The Secret Community Moderator Gem Stash

That's where your gems go when you're not looking

summer goblet
umbral meteor
summer goblet
#

though Honz is a great contender

maiden kayak
#

Honz is far from the race

#

he slipped and fell off the race

summer goblet
#

ah

#

and i guess i am in the middle

#

not out of the race but totally an underdog like Ash

tardy fiber
maiden kayak
#

honestly hope half anni have hisui

umbral meteor
#

high doubts

#

hisui didnt get that much promo tbh

summer goblet
tardy fiber
summer goblet
#

just like democracy

umbral meteor
maiden kayak
#

if anything

#

anything is possible in dena

summer goblet
#

so yeah, not a bad business decision though the minorities are kinda left out

maiden kayak
#

they even had an idea to add manga character

#

to milk from

#

so

umbral meteor
maiden kayak
#

but eevee banner is legitly bad decision

#

really wanna boycott the eevee banner

umbral meteor
maiden kayak
#

terrible idea

summer goblet
umbral meteor
#

its such a funny idea

umbral meteor
#

lance probably will

umbral meteor
#

those are probably "too some" then

summer goblet
#

or i guess like me who is waiting for Brock and Hau alt that is really good

umbral meteor
#

i mean ofc there are even some who want liza alt but thats too minor what lol

tardy fiber
umbral meteor
summer goblet
#

well

#

if nothing is good

tardy fiber
#

I gonna at least support the 3k paid gems bundle every 20 days

summer goblet
#

i can go ahead and surpass Gon and Honz in terms of gem count and head into the stratosphere

umbral meteor
#

I wonder if people with 300-400k gems gonna use all at eos?

summer goblet
#

i know Chest prob won't

umbral meteor
#

lmao

summer goblet
#

i dump mine for the unit to revel the last days of Gacha

#

I started out broke

I ended up broke

umbral meteor
#

chest prob wont

summer goblet
#

comes in full circle

umbral meteor
#

makes sense coz the name is chest

summer goblet
#

yep

umbral meteor
#

we would prob be able to tell how much gems we got throughout the game by seeing chest's gc SeleneLul

thorny pelican
#

I was gonna joke with something that is like "doesn't hold gems" of gems but i can't think of what that is

tardy fiber
thorny pelican
#

a well is like a hole tho and a hole of gems seems at least somewhat secure and dependable

thorny pelican
#

but the wallet has gems HildaCry

#

This is in relation to a device that is like

thorny pelican
#

needing to spill gems

#

a font?

#

font of gems?

summer goblet
#

spend it all for your fav

thorny pelican
#

better: I'll get hax'd and have all my gems spent

summer goblet
#

pokefair def will make it great

tawny dagger
#

Waterfall of gems

tardy fiber
#

Chest will you pull a shiny Maybunny pair?

thorny pelican
#

I'll pull for a Shiny Lopunny yes

#

Lopunny is my favorite pokemon

summer goblet
#

i know

thorny pelican
#

You should always go for your favorites if that's why you're saving BlueYea

summer goblet
#

what's your top 5 character/pokemon

#

if you wanna spend gems more

  1. Clair
  2. Swimmer F

I thought Kris got a buff

tardy fiber
summer goblet
#

woosh

tardy fiber
#

I might can 3/5 her next month if no support faves coming

summer goblet
#

i'm going for Nita along with 4 other bp units

#

for the Gauntlet run

#

need the depth as possible

tardy fiber
#

Already 3/5 evelyn, regirock and now nita

summer goblet
#

for a 60 run battle

umbral meteor

opposite of chest..

#

chest stores things

weary spire
#

A pile

umbral meteor

lol

tardy fiber
#

Whale spend for things

thorny pelican
#

w-whale of gems?

summer goblet
#

let's use sinkhole of Gems

#

cause it all drain down empty

weary spire
#

DarachOkay Sinkhole is good

summer goblet
#

anyway we all know Chest is the Goat of saving

#

he like Leon who is basically unbeatable

#

or Red,

#

either is fine

tardy fiber
#

Am i a sinkhole of gems? I think i only have 3 months of free months without faves in 506 days of playing

summer goblet
#

you can always do the art of daily pulling

tardy fiber
summer goblet
#

cheat the system and get lucky

tardy fiber
#

Nah i skipped dailies

summer goblet
#

that's what i do

tardy fiber
#

Will be bad if got 3* 4* all day till the banner ends

summer goblet
#

||i firmly believe i have more units than all the elite gem savers|| using that daily pull strategy

tardy fiber
#

Also daily discount only give 1 pity point, i might consider it if give 3 instead

summer goblet
#

fair

#

i just view paid gems differently

#

the means getting more for less

tardy fiber
#

Well if there's 60 days of banner duration if do daily everyday also will only give you 60/400...i feel the pain of dailies on last year anniv, i spend 400 paid gems daily on annilillie, anniN, annisteven and ssleon banner and it only gave me bunch of clays and brycen

#

10 days already 4k paid gems

#

A month already 12k paid

summer goblet
#

yeah that's fair

tardy fiber
#

And good news is might end up with bunch of 3* 4* till the end

summer goblet
#

but if you do get lucky

#

you save big time\

tardy fiber
#

Yep if i do get lucky

#

If do

#

Do

summer goblet
#

i say pokefair are statically the best bet to do dallies

tardy fiber
#

Well 98/100 chance you will end up with not that featured unit

summer goblet
#

well you wanna add the 10% of getting a 5 star

tardy fiber
summer goblet
#

and yeah its statically the best bet to get a feature 5 star overall

tardy fiber
#

Like if i want general pool 5*, i will just use tickets

summer goblet
#

yeah it won't panned for feature every time, but i like my chances

#

for feature unit

tardy fiber
#

Yep good for you, im just not a daily discount person unless just want to fill that pity points of 396/400

summer goblet
#

if its unfeature, i take my chances with ticket scout

#

mainly the regional ones

#

fair enough

onyx hearth
#

I got ss hilda now and i think i need to save for kalos va

#

But the allure of ss hilbert is too strong...

#

He'll be rerun, right?

cunning swan
#

The one pinned is the message above it though, is that intentional?

drowsy saddle
#

you ruined it

cunning swan
tardy jolt
#

BTW, I’m really conflicted about N. I think I’ll wait until next datamine, which never hurts. Considering that he’s always been a day one unit for me, the fact that I’m postponing him is very telling. Should end the month with around 120k free gems, plus my paid stash, so I’m well positioned for December, depending on the number of interesting units that will come out, I’ll decide to pull or not

umbral meteor
#

may take 2 months or may also take 1.5 years

onyx hearth
#

At this point kalos is more important

lofty relic
#

average Tai oopsie

tardy fiber
#

Im guilty, i told people to skip lucas rerun in main character banner because i thought that he will rerun when sinnoh VA rerun...DeNa totally ditch my theory PrycePain

What did tai pin

sturdy hatch
tawny cedar
#

Are there any rallies left this month

tardy fiber
#

Nothing for now, not sure if they will introduce a new rally for eevee day

tawny cedar
#

I'm hoping one of the new year units are shit

#

That way i can get ny unit+xbold easily

tardy fiber
#

Im hoping that there's no faves for Christmas...if they want to release my faves as seasonals at least give them in a cool festive season

#

Enough that calyrex with a santa suit

#

Don't add more DeNa

tawny cedar
#

I don't think they can add too much more

#

Max threat is articuno i think

tardy fiber

Or Regice

#

Xurkitree and blacephalon fits Christmas theme as well

umbral meteor

Ya'all forgot glastrier

If I save Unova tickets, will I have the notification up for a whole year?

#

I already got what I was shooting for, but I dread the notification pop up

#

And with two faves potentially entering the ticket pool, I want to save them

drowsy saddle
#

It's not that bad once you get used to ignoring it.

I hate this kind of situation

lean mango

Tbh it's just there for me now, like "hahaha look at that little exlamation mark go"

signal halo
#

Had it happening in genshin and was happy to have no reason to suffer here

#

Is fishing for SS elesa or bianca dupes worth spending tickets?

#

I very much doubt I won't spend a pity on colress at some point

sturdy flower
#

you will have the ! mark from Kalos tickets anyways

weary spire
#

I would appreciate Bianca’s dupe, so I’m doing it, but that’s really up to you

#

And yeah, that

#

If you’re going to save any tickets, you’ll have it regardless

#

In which case you may just want to hold onto it, if there are 2 favs to wait for. So long as you can live without those other dupes for now

finite juniper
#

Should I restart? I never really saved my gems when I played this game which I really regret now. These are my characters.

weary spire
#

I don’t see why you should at all. It’d just be throwing out progress when you can start saving now

#

Especially when your roster can help you get through content in order to save gems easier

#

There’s not much to be gained from resetting imo. Just start saving now, rather than resetting & starting from scratch mistacan

umbral meteor
#

Restart when you have ss serena?

#

No

fallen path
#

You have SS Serena and Archie. Do not restart

finite juniper
#

Alright

weary spire
#

Ye exactly, those are strong pairs which can carry you through content a lot easier

finite juniper
#

I have 6k gems rn 🥹

fallen path
#

Guess that’s where you gonna start saving

finite juniper
#

I never really finished the villain arcs or legendary arcs so I guess I could grind those

weary spire
#

It’s a start, just gotta stick to what you’ve got for now (which is a good roster to work from)

weary spire

Thank you, everyone!

u know

That’s what I’m doing for Alola. Planning to use them when Alola VA drops.

Wow only 3 months
It's been like that since sinnoh VA PrycePain

signal halo
#

I was pulling mainly because I wanted 3/5 Hilbert

#

Today was the day I got him from the ticket. Another high roll for the list of massive high rolls I've had this week.

#

What makes red and SS Morty so good as supports?

#

I feel like my next goal should be to increase my support pool, since I'm unsure if I lack supports due to not candying them properly or if I just don't have enough pairs

sturdy flower
#

both also give crit

umbral meteor
#

red has huge bulk , se up on demand and most importantly sync accel his kit just fits insanely well in some of the top team comps

#

ss morty is the weather support of strongest weather and has insanely huge bulk with fantastic gauge management easily a top support

tawny cedar
#

When va's rerun,they come with a ton of tickets right?

sturdy flower
#

less than initial run but at least 90ish

#

30 from each shop + dailies

tawny cedar
#

Pray johto va rerun soon

#

430 days without ethan

#

While his ss version sits at 3/5 ex

#

I want him to be my 50th ex but he will not show up

sturdy flower

#

I hate autocorrect

#

One spelling mistake and ur gone

honest fulcrum
#

Haven’t been spending enough time here recently, I’ve not been saving as well as I used to so imma make sure I continue the effort HildaCry

#

No more summoning with tickets for me, and gems are in recuperation mode after securing a fave with a painful amount of gems SabrinaPray

#

Also, if anyone is a dolphin like I am and is paying for deals, depending on how many paid gems you have, what do you use them for besides selects? I used a bunch on a seasonal tier to get a fave, and I’ve been doing dailies on characters I like but aren’t top tier faves

sand crown

That would be S-tier regret

and his SS Serena isn't even leveled up

like no ash cuz red is same role

lunar topaz

It always is one EvelynNotLikeThis

Best of saving vantner it’s incredible you have all your favs BarryPogChamp

tardy fiber

I thought red is tech and ash is a striker

tardy fiber
viscid flare
#

but red does more

#

ash just does damage, i have damage dealers in the same type (sst red) and offtype (steven,lusamine, other offtypers)

#

so skipping him helpes me save since he doesnt help me that much

tardy fiber
viscid flare
#

yeah

#

exactly

tardy fiber

I still lack fairy damage dealer

Like nowadays i use annilillie moonblast

Waiting for that magearna or enamorus

bede was a fave and honeslty im super happy

I plan to candy them all, i like to see my faves 3/5 ...but thats a long term planning Hopium

if i started earlier i could have gotten N

vestal leaf

The quick tempo would be fun to use

#

But I'm holding off

#

From candying strikers

#

Because I'm waiting for datamine to candy h-leon

#

Or not

tardy fiber
#

I also cannot afford a candy gem pack each time its available so i just gonna take my time

vestal leaf
#

Gem packs aren't worth imo

viscid flare
#

there is one thats worth

vestal leaf
#

I meant

#

The candy one

#

The 3k one is a steal

#

3 bucks for a 15 unit select is absurd

viscid flare
#

its 3k paid right

vestal leaf
#

Such a high value it puts all other bundles in shame

#

1k +20 days of 100

tardy fiber
#

I just grab once for candy, to diminish my tech candy demand...this month added 2 tech faves bumping up additional 4 tech candies to collect

vestal leaf
#

Thankfully game is so fucking easy I rarely actually need to candy

#

Anyone but faves

tardy fiber
#

All that I mentioned are one of my 52 faves...like i never candy non faves units

#

If i need may 3/5 before...i do gauntlet weakness select because its cheap

ye but it doesnt have to be next month tho

#

they can save it for later

#

obv she cant get another mf so soon

#

kanto , sinnoh , alola , galar may be main candidates for dec mf

tardy fiber
#

If talking about soon, kanto just got 2 MF of different passives in same duration with cynthia getting duplicate flag bearer

umbral meteor
#

kanto has blue left

#

sinnoh can get mf next mth if its dawn

#

I dont think cynthia will get another in 3 months tho

tardy fiber
#

Yep that's why i didn't mention Cynthia name, you are the one that mentions her

#

I said barry

umbral meteor
#

i just said it wont be barry

#

lol

#

if they ever do sinnoh pride or spirit

#

more likely its another cynthia or dawn

#

i just meant that^

tardy fiber
#

Lol

#

Mentioned cynthia first

umbral meteor
#

wdym

#

oh

#

no i didnt mean for next mth specifically

#

was just saying in general

#

For sinnoh mfs

tardy fiber
#

Kinda weird that you mentioned Cynthia while she just got her duplicate MF...WEEZing i do understand Dawn though, we still have Palmer as candidate as well

#

Triple flag bearer cynthia lets goo

umbral meteor
#

lmao

#

well i just meant for general

#

palmer i dont think is candidate

#

Probably a pokefair

#

tbh lucario shuld have been pride

#

But ig that time they had'nt implemented feature of same trainer runnable of same team

#

And it was support

#

so it just got another FB

#

what a waste

#

but wtv

tardy fiber
#

Thats why lucario got duplicate flag bearer

#

As ssrcynthia already have it

umbral meteor
umbral meteor
#

but yeah probably that also

#

That it was cynthia again

#

they wasted victini and BK so bad

Their unova pride mons suck now

#

unless shiny WEEZing

shiny zekrom WeezingLFG

tardy fiber
#

Well recent pokefairs with 5/5 grids means more money. They still unsure if crowd will be mad if they start to make 5/5 master fairs

umbral meteor
#

maybe june MFs get 5/5 grids

#

"master-fair exclusive sync grid tiles"

#

WEEZing we will probably see them one day

tardy fiber
#

I will start to invest on it if 5/5 on maxie archie will unlock primal forms Hopium ...if not just gonna stay 3/5

umbral meteor
#

grid tiles unlocking new forms? WEEZing

#

im just gonna cope for shiny primals Hopium

tardy fiber
#

But seeing what they did to Raihan 5/5 grids

#

I think leonzard getting gmax is kinda hopium

umbral meteor
#

they will probably give him gmax one day

#

altho i think shiny primals first is more likely

#

like shiny ray

#

if they do shiny gmax zard with someone else its kinda lame since they also need to do zard y so thats 2 zard alts WEEZing

tardy fiber
#

I will save gems for primals LucianScheme

#

I dont care shiny zard

umbral meteor
#

Hope B precipice blades and B origin pulse get smth like they dont do split damage despite aoe

tardy fiber
#

It can deal 99999 dmg like ash and i still wont pull that shiny zard

umbral meteor
#

Make zard y support

tardy fiber

I need to recheck how many legendaries, mythicals, UBs left...need to start budgeting

umbral meteor

a lot are left
