unkempt vortex

Forever in shambles

unkempt vortex
#

It be like that when it be like that

uneven pewter
#

I am in the same boat

tardy fiber
#

Cannot wait for anniv, i will be playing with my regice RoarkNerd

uneven pewter

Literally feel sucker punched because all of them are VARIETY of all things

latent salmon
#

im still salty about ||KriSS stealing all my gems.||

drifting dagger
mental skiff
#

Nothing gonna scare me i already spent a year getting all marnie from 0.33% rate so nothing can be worse

latent salmon
#

i literally COULD NOT have predicted Rocket Execs and it was too early for a Silver alt. i thought i was safe HildaCry

mental skiff
#

Remember rerun always a thing

#

Less scare

unkempt vortex
#

Not when it’s variety

latent salmon
#

the thing is i will mentally cease to exist if i know i could be using proton for flying weak for the funny

mental skiff
#

Variety is just like monthly pf

latent salmon
#

and i dont have him

mental skiff

unkempt vortex
#

Hey

#

Could be worse

latent salmon
#

at least i only need need one of them DianthaSmile

mental skiff
#

Why not 4

latent salmon
#

it could be worse.

it could've been all admins on one banner

unkempt vortex
#

You could be like the other one who comes in here asking for advice and ignoring it SophoKEK

#

Because everything is a must pull

latent salmon
# mental skiff Why not 4

Petrel = don't like him because of something he did to Silver in Spe
Ariana = she's okay i guess. not really a huge fan.
Archer = same as ariana

maiden kayak
#

we preached to save for anni

mental skiff
#

WulfricKEKW then it is good just need 1 pity

maiden kayak
#

those who listened , great for them

drifting dagger
#

Which legit makes me cringe

maiden kayak
#

those who dont , u face the consequences

unkempt vortex
#

They’ll never learn

rare swan
#

yeah not to be insanely negative but i'm malding over the fact that i saved hard for anni and it's freaking Kantrio 2

latent salmon
#

you know what. at least i learned that I am NEVER safe !!!

unkempt vortex
#

And it’s funny watching them suffer SerenaSip

rare swan
#

oh well. good for the balance at least

mental skiff
#

I wished i can learn but sadly no fav for me this month

drifting dagger
#

I got blue, so I'm happy

latent salmon
#

granted at the cost of not completing Spe Johtrio this time. at least i have next year MortySigh

unkempt vortex
#

Hey come on guys

#

Kanto getting representation this year BlueYea

#

Now to wait until next year

latent salmon
#

||don't regret getting KriSS that much though!! in the end she's still big fave whitneyheart||

tardy fiber
#

I love it, ive been stuck with only mew and mewtwo being kanto faves for the longest time Hopium

mental skiff
#

WulfricKEKW arcanine used to be a legend

#

Use free blue for copium

tardy fiber
#

Now i can finally do 3 faves team for every region

latent salmon
#

tomorrow i hope i chill a little from the HYPE during datamine. still affecting me a lot. maybe i can make up my mind too about whether or not ||im pulling for just proton or not|| DianthaSmile

tardy fiber
#

Although DeNa, where's support faves for unova

latent salmon
#

unova will get its love someday

probably not this year though WEEZing

unkempt vortex
#

I’m glad anni isn’t unova

tardy fiber
#

Support meloetta cmon

unkempt vortex
#

Too poor

latent salmon
#

god im still so indecisive WEEZing

unkempt vortex
#

And I’ll only get more poor

tardy fiber
#

Support Terrakion also nice

latent salmon
#

hopefully gem count comes soon

tardy fiber
#

If the gem count is like August, i will really need to budget my expenses

drifting dagger
#

I hope not

latent salmon
#

im trying to see the positives in this situation but uhh gem count decides whether or not i go wallow in my misery

drifting dagger
#

Cuz this is anni

unkempt vortex
#

It will

mental skiff
#

32k would be nice

unkempt vortex
#

Anni doesn’t mean shit anymore

mental skiff
#

Everymonth is anni

tardy fiber
#

Although i have 138k gems but i still need to save some of it for next month and after

unkempt vortex
#

And when every month is anni none of them are

latent salmon
#

if gem count sucks i might have to do the unthinkable and ||pull without pity because varieties don't rerun iirc||

tardy fiber
#

In case 25k+ becomes a norm

latent salmon
drifting dagger
mental skiff
#

Every month is MF tho so MF value dive down

latent salmon
#

big fave after big fave isn't good for gems and my sanity HildaCry

unkempt vortex
#

Make mf gen pool

mental skiff
drifting dagger
#

How was it?

tardy fiber
drifting dagger
#

Yeah

#

Anni 25k is bad

unkempt vortex
#

If they’re gonna erase spotlight gotta replace it with something EthanGenius

drifting dagger
#

But for regular months idc

unkempt vortex
#

TRUE

latent salmon
#

variety should live up to its name and bring us a variety of characters EthanGenius

unkempt vortex
#

They already doing that

drifting dagger
#

I mean

mental skiff
#

From the history i see it is pretty random 4 month over 33k and 3 month around 25k

drifting dagger
#

Rocket did it, ball guy

#

The rest was... eg

#

*eh

#

Only kiawe and lance were good kit wise

tardy fiber
#

Well we probably got few more spotlights for paldea...cannot make a region ticket without it PrycePain

unkempt vortex
#

Yeah and we had e4 and 3 protags

latent salmon
#

you want your obscure character? VARIETY!

unkempt vortex
#

Plus 2 trial givers

latent salmon
#

hear me out i'm going insane but

Youngster Joey variety scout WEEZing

drifting dagger
mental skiff
#

Every banner rate is the same if you have pity

mental skiff
drifting dagger
#

Joey can definitely happen

tardy fiber
#

Sad that there's no Oak EX, i was feeling hype as they modified his bingo

unkempt vortex
#

Watch them make all paldea variety WulfricKEKW

latent salmon
#

evil team grunts as variety PoryWoke

mental skiff
#

Can we do the bingo again?

oak crest
#

they could have release a new bingo for his EX ontop of the renewal

latent salmon
#

let me cook. generic npcs as variety.

mental skiff
#

Hope they modify victory road soon

tardy fiber
drifting dagger
oak crest
#

They might modify after 6th anni to give 1 free copy of kanto NC Hopium

tardy fiber
#

Oh the new outfit can get using item from poma day event

mental skiff
#

I dont mind i still dont have red

latent salmon
#

if they stop giving us asset reuse junk maybe variety can turn its reputation upside down

oak crest
#

take it with a grain of salt tho cos that's just pure speculation

hard wave
#

Also no naomi EX, no TR rerun PrycePain

oak crest
#

might be november

#

SC event originally started on Nov

mental skiff
oak crest
#

it was brought forward last year cos of VA i think

hard wave
#

|| im not sure if anni skyla being paid only is a good thing, do I want her? Yes, but I dont have gems rn BrycenOTL ||

latent salmon
#

ani TR is held back by contract and boring legal stuff, no?

hard wave

#

oh she is?

latent salmon

O.o

mental skiff
oak crest
#

oh you are right

#

wow

hard wave
#

SC Selects and rosa event reruns

tardy fiber
#

At least i love the roll cakes function...i think that can help the pair more than leveling to 150 from 140 MallowHeart

oak crest
#

waitaminute...

round mason
#

Naomi rerun lets goo BarryPogChamp

oak crest
#

SC Rosa rerun banner and solo banner? wow

mental skiff

||shaymin too BarryPogChamp ||

hard wave

#

i thought they will add in the other 4 older SCs

hard wave
#

Nah

oak crest
#

the pokewar quads

hard wave
#

Separate events

#

They added SC selects now tho which is cool for those who need it

oak crest
#

wonder how they gonna rerun the older SCs then

#

hmmm

hard wave
#

Smb wanted SC Diantha but idk if they r f2p or not

hard wave
oak crest
#

that will suck for f2ps

#

☠️

mental skiff
#

Sc select or tier scout

mental skiff
hard wave
#

Wait u mean in april/november?

mental skiff
tardy jolt
hard wave
#

Oh god 2 quad banners and 4 new ones

oak crest
#

might be getting worse if dena really decides to be more stingy

chrome nest
#

Alright I got no idea on who is worth getting this anni

mental skiff
#

I just gave up on sc lilie

tardy jolt
#

To be honest, this past two months seem to hint at them overcharging the release of units, while at the same time reducing resources for F2P
I must say, changing the localization team or whatever they did that made them abandon the old way of naming passives also looks like them putting less care into the game/cutting corners

drifting dagger
#

I think localizers are still the same

#

They just literally translate the japanese stuff lettet to letter

mental skiff
#

Not as good as last year tho i term of banner

chrome nest
#

I desperately need a steel zone

mental skiff
chrome nest
#

Thank god the new cake system I can have one

tardy jolt
round mason
#

honestly
im more pumped for the free pairs rather than the anni pairs

tardy jolt
mental skiff
#

I mean it is unpredictable just like MF pre maxie/archie rerun

drifting dagger
maiden kayak
#

im praying my condolescenes to cyi wang

drifting dagger
#

Lmao

tardy jolt
mental skiff
#

AgathaInhaler next month all my Marnie is 3/5 so i can do highscore and offtype cs with marnie. After that they can declare eos

#

Kinda sad if poma gonna spiral down tho but well... i prepared

drifting dagger
#

Eos won't be soon at all lmao

#

They still have to mill hisui, paldea

#

The alts too

mental skiff
#

Hopium the signal

#

I dunno but with this rate of releasing new character i dont think they have enough till next core game

maiden kayak
drifting dagger
#

Oh yeye, that yeah, but I doubt the revenue is bad

tardy fiber
#

If anything getting eos first, its cafe remix SophoKEK

maiden kayak
#

revenue is dwindling alot for sure

#

its not fancy like before anymore

mental skiff
#

I heard that core game manager acknowledge the issue in releasing core game so dunno if they will slow it down

maiden kayak
#

the peak was i think 2nd anni

drifting dagger
#

Wasn't it a different period?

maiden kayak
#

even 3rd anni barely very close reach 2nd anni sales

mental skiff
#

People return on 2nd tho

maiden kayak
#

i doubt this anni will do well, if it does its probably due to banner influx

#

they are definitely not gonna do well in sales per banner avg for sure (discounting reruns)

tardy jolt
#

2nd Anni had a lot going for it. The introduction of MFs was quite recent, they just started ramping up the amount of legendaries and the characters were all very popular and from different regions as well

ashen thunder
#

Variety banners and 5/5 expansions are mistake

tardy fiber
#

I will be just like always, constantly buying daily gem EX bundle every 20 days...its not my fault the MF gem bundle package now costs a bunch PrycePain

maiden kayak
#

to me that dupe variety is bs

drifting dagger
maiden kayak
#

really hated the fact dena seems to get the idea of that is success because of eevee banner

ashen thunder
#

Those 2 are the main reason lot of people losing interest

drifting dagger
#

The only bad thing is the number of units on banner

maiden kayak
#

the dupe alts are pissing me off

ashen thunder
#

Variety is still a lazy design

drifting dagger
#

????

mental skiff
drifting dagger
#

We legit got new stuff today

#

new

tardy fiber
#

I just ignore 4/5 and 5/5 grid existence BedeSmug ...3/5 are enough, i still welcome 2/5 grids though WulfricKEKW

maiden kayak
#

i think we all meant variety as just the freaking dupe alts that we are pissed

ashen thunder
#

I still want to 5/5 coz the completionist in me says so

maiden kayak
#

not the actual alt

mental skiff
#

But Haymaker and defense crush 9 on 4/5 PrycePain

#

That is the dream

tardy jolt
#

For all intents and purposes, the TR variety is just a PF banner, with worse units and rates

maiden kayak
#

also the lumping of banners are scummy af , they should just solo its banner

broken mulch
#

Anybody know if there’s a free 5 star select ticket for Anniversary?

tardy fiber
#

Still need to see Variety select ...for now, they are all FoMo because no rerun ever happens

ashen thunder
#

I am rolling for dupes these days coz if it, before this year I never did that shit

drifting dagger
ashen thunder
broken mulch
#

Oh neato

cunning swan
#

hello gem zen

drifting dagger
#

I might get gloria dupe

#

Or raihan

#

Idk

tardy fiber
#

Hello nov

broken mulch
#

Hmm so either finally 5/5 Cynthia, or I get either Marnie or Raihan

#

Don’t have those two yet

ashen thunder
#

Wait, we know the exact pool for the selector?

mental skiff
#

Marnie

cunning swan
#

i am very sorry to everyone who will be having a skipversary (or rather... congratulations?) and yes repeating 1st anni (down to the roles!) is a bit uncreative but allow me to be selfish and enjoy my 5-star 3-course meal CalemRelieved

tardy jolt
#

Raihan or upgrading Cynthia or Diantha to 4/5. Decisions, decisions

tardy fiber
#

I gonna hopium that there's steven in the free select Hopium

broken mulch
#

I assume Irida and Adaman are off the list LMAO

ashen thunder
#

I am gonna pick kommo-o if it's available

cunning swan
broken mulch
#

Oh monthly Pokefair gotcha

mental skiff
#

I may do it

ashen thunder
#

Well kommo-o is literally my only PF rerun target

#

Other than celesa

#

Tho I am skipping celesa this patch due to the birds

tardy jolt

uncut comet
ashen thunder
#

I have been waiting for good ice dps for a while

tardy fiber

Others that i missed are only adaman and irida

mental skiff
#

Oh yeah pick marnie mean 4 coin

ashen thunder
#

Doubt I'd be pulling other birds tho since my luck is bad

mental skiff
broken mulch
#

Aye that’s what I was thinking

#

Better off picking a lodge unit we don’t have yet

tardy jolt
rustic heron
#

raihan is cool

drifting dagger
#

Gloria too has lodge

rustic heron
#

wtf do you mean

drifting dagger
#

And lodge gloria is not bad

ashen thunder
#

I rly wouldn't recommend picking for lodge units

mental skiff
#

I see new bird kit isnt that attracting... No new mechanic nor niche things

ashen thunder
#

If the dupe is beneficial, it's better

broken mulch
#

Since I tolerate Marnie and dislike Raihan the choise is easy for me lol

mental skiff
ashen thunder
#

Since candies are getting more and more expensive these days

drifting dagger
mental skiff
#

Just more damage

tardy fiber
#

If you already have all lodge pairs, you can still get lance/diantha, it seems like they like to make champions as lodge guests WulfricKEKW

mental skiff
#

No fun

drifting dagger
#

Blue is new best support

#

Dethroned bede

broken mulch
#

I have never seen someone vouch for dupes instead of a new unit LMAO

drifting dagger
#

*nc bede

broken mulch
#

Especially not a favorite

drifting dagger
mental skiff
#

I dunno but someone like Gloria alt this month is more interesting

tardy fiber
#

I did grab N for 3/5 from the first free pokefair select PrycePain

rustic heron
ashen thunder
#

New unit eating dust < a dupe to make the unit you already use more stronger

tardy fiber
#

Now that they're all 3/5 , i just gonna select guests

tardy jolt
uncut comet
#

I think most of the units already work well at 1/5. I have at least 12 of each tech supp and striker candies

tardy fiber
#

Also did anybody mentioned og hilda gets grid expansion BarryPogChamp

ashen thunder
#

I picked 5/5 cynthia previous selector instead of alder coz I know I'll never use him SophoKEK

mental skiff
#

I invested 3/5 cynthia and i used her once

rustic heron
#

hilda’s expansion is nice

uncut comet
#

Maybe One day I'll spend them

broken mulch
mental skiff
drifting dagger
#

But yeah

#

I agree

ashen thunder
broken mulch
#

But you know what new units give you

#

10 WHOLE GEMS

ashen thunder
#

I doubt the pool gonna have someone entirely useless at any point

broken mulch

WHOO-WEE

Lance has meme TM can use it in obscure challenge

tardy fiber

How many guests do we need to complete the missions?

tardy fiber

What mission?

broken mulch

The Lodge one where you need a number of them at level 100

rustic heron

tardy jolt

broken mulch
#

Ah thanks

ashen thunder
#

Do we even have 20 lodge characters in total?

hard wave
rustic heron
#

we do

mental skiff

Oh so it is my last mission already?

hard wave

21 with leaf

rustic heron
mental skiff
ashen thunder
#

Ah ShauntalNote

broken mulch
#

Man that many

mental skiff
#

No more free gems

broken mulch
#

Time sure flies

ashen thunder
#

I am only missing Gloria and Marnie so 19 for me then

#

Noway I am picking either of em

hard wave
#

I have 17 with leaf, 18 if I can get N for free

mental skiff
#

I only miss adamant

hard wave
#

No adaman gloria steven or n atm

mental skiff
#

Next month have 2 tho

hard wave
#

?

tardy jolt
mental skiff
#

1 free select and Leaf

broken mulch
#

After double checking yeah I’m only missing Adaman, Irida, Marnie, and Raihan.

Marnie it is then

ashen thunder
#

If it's just lodge units for selector, I'll likely go 4/5 raihan CaitlinSleeper

hard wave
hard wave
ashen thunder
#

Since he's pretty much the only lodge unit other than cynthia I use

hard wave
#

Some have all 3 tho

broken mulch
#

I dislike Raihan

hard wave
#

I c

mental skiff
#

If cynthia or diantha exist in free pf i will take them instead of Raihan so i wont have the urge to complete lodge in future

mossy hawk
#

Wait the select is free?

#

The lodge one

hard wave
#

Yeah

mossy hawk
#

Oh wow

#

Nice

ashen thunder
#

We don't know exact pool

#

Other than Marnie, raihan, N

broken mulch
#

Oh wait the select ticket lets us pull first right?

tardy jolt
hard wave
broken mulch
#

Before we get to the selection screen?

mossy hawk
#

Raihan would be great

ashen thunder
#

Yes

hard wave
ashen thunder
#

You get a multi from select

broken mulch
#

Maybe we’ll get lucky when we pull haha

ashen thunder
#

I think

tardy fiber
#

Please have steven SabrinaPray

mental skiff
#

But his lodge is shitty tho

tardy jolt
#

You get to make so many anyways, even with saving criterias, I think I’m around 120 as of now

mental skiff
#

I mean raihan

ashen thunder
#

Well raihan himself is good

#

Tbh all lodge pairs are kind of shitty

#

You rly wouldn't use em unless your roster is bare bones

tardy fiber
#

Like lodge acerola BrycenOTL

mental skiff
ashen thunder
#

I have lodge dawn
Never used her at all

mental skiff
#

I always use lodge dawn in CS

ashen thunder
#

She dies too quick WulfricKEKW

mental skiff
uncut comet
ashen thunder
#

Well "worst" support I use in CS is ssmina

mental skiff
#

HildaCry Noooooo

ashen thunder
#

So I never had the need to use stuff worse than her

tardy jolt
mental skiff
#

Ss Mina based

unkempt vortex
#

She’s garbage

mental skiff
hard wave
#

Ive used some lodge pairs but usually just for gauntlet

mental skiff
#

She is the only unit can help you survive sync of full atk params tho

hard wave
#

I only go for 10 tho but ig they r decent to throw in

ashen thunder
#

Oh yea
I never do gauntlet past 10 streaks

uncut comet
#

any rough information for the gem count? are we in the (3x) k range like the past year?

ashen thunder
#

So I never had the need to use most stuff

mental skiff
#

Not this GL for sure

hard wave
#

I just have 5 limited supports atm so LarryDead

unkempt vortex
#

Imagine doing gauntlet for no rewards

hard wave
#

One of them is my SS Blue who I accidentally got 5/5, finally he got an expansion WeezingLFG

#

Weird that SS Red and Blue dont rerun tho

tardy jolt
#

Gauntlet is very exhausting, I really like HS though, I‘ll maybe try to push to top 100 for the next one

hard wave
#

I hope to get the medal but idk Hopium

#

I havent looked at the stages actually, recently EXd elesa and marnie tho so maybe they’ll help, N as well if I select him

mental skiff
#

Electric is more p2w highscore tho

uncut comet
tardy jolt
ashen thunder
#

This time it'll be much easier

#

Lot of people with medal would slack

mental skiff
#

Doubt

unkempt vortex
#

Doubt

ashen thunder
#

Getting top 100 will be harder than before

#

But 10k wouldn't

mental skiff
#

People still want to flex

unkempt vortex
#

A lot of sweats in this game

vestal leaf
#

Yeah top 100 will be harder

unkempt vortex
#

Look at gauntlet

vestal leaf
#

Top 10k will be much lower tho I feel

ashen thunder
#

Well gauntlet doesn't curate lower rankings iirc

tardy jolt
ashen thunder
#

Top players would always compete over and over

vestal leaf
#

Way less points you can squeeze through gen pools and f2p elec

unkempt vortex
#

It’s offtype event

ashen thunder
#

Electric F2P doesn't even have 5 good tanks

mental skiff
ashen thunder
#

Water had much better access

#

Electric dps also very shit for F2P

unkempt vortex
#

Water is bloated in comparison

mental skiff
#

Good lord i hate the dude in alola

unkempt vortex
#

Same with fire and grass

ashen thunder
#

I can see lot of people picking zekrom just for HS event

#

From the free selector

tardy fiber
#

I just realised ||Leaf is kinda bad in gauntlet, can only use her flare blitz when opponent has rebuff, she can give rebuff one from attack and one from sync, thats only 2/3 hp bars for gauntlet...will stuck with only leer for 3rd hp bar||

unkempt vortex
#

Even then having a unit with piercing blows is nice

#

Outside hs

tardy jolt
mental skiff
#

It you cant win +1 zekrom is still the same

mossy hawk
#

Power play ×2 is no joke

ashen thunder
#

Hjasmine and zapdos for limiteds

tardy jolt
tardy fiber
ashen thunder
#

no sselesa is a shit tank before anyone mentions her

mental skiff
#

Good enough

tardy jolt
unkempt vortex
#

Just get tm refresh and she’s a sprint unit EthanGenius

mental skiff
ashen thunder
#

I mean
If you factor in rats, whale electric is pretty top tier

#

Nemona can give endurance and dmg guard

#

Sshau has U9

tardy jolt
#

Oh, btw, how do I claim the High Score Master role? Sorry for the off topic, lmao

ashen thunder
#

It's very hard to compete with whales

#

That's why top 100 is hell

#

While top 10k is a joke

tardy fiber
#

Use / highscore in bot zone

tardy jolt
tardy fiber
#

Also need to give proof you have the medal

tardy jolt
broken mulch
#

Yeah you need a picture of the leaderboard of your placement

hard wave
tardy fiber
#

Just profile pic with master badge is enough

broken mulch
#

I do wonder how the second HS event will go

#

Oh right master badge is enough

#

Me personally I’m just gonna do 180k points and stop haha

#

Unless they have a new medal

ashen thunder
#

I am just gonna slack eventho I have rats
Since I don't have hjasmine and won't be rolling zapdos CaitlinSleeper

tardy fiber
#

Because i didn't snap my results PrycePain i grab my master ball badge and bail

mental skiff
#

Unless they make medal badge show my score or rank i wont do HS again

ashen thunder
#

My electric roster is sad outside rats

hard wave
mental skiff
hard wave
#

Ill go for 180k and hope I end up w the medal Hopium

mental skiff
#

No chance at least 200k

tardy fiber
mental skiff
ashen thunder
#

It's gonna be lower than water HS
But it won't be 200k low

#

Probs 220k

tardy fiber
#

Goodluck, i just gonna do 180k and bail

#

You all can take my spot

mental skiff
broken mulch
#

Same lol

#

You won’t have to compete with my ||Ash and Nemona||

hard wave
ashen thunder
#

Ill do first attempt at 400 str or smth for all stages

tardy fiber
#

With ||NC Blue|| i only have 3 EX faves for it, not gonna EX non faves just for one event PrycePain

ashen thunder
#

Whenever I end up is final

||unless by miracle I get red and blue early||

When they say i will only do 180k they will accidentally do 200k WulfricKEKW

I hope next HS is fire/grass
Then I can try hard LucianScheme

Electric is pain

I would like that my fire roster got better lately

SS Red’s 2/5 and 5/5 seem nice imo

Solar flare 2 and sharp entry for 2/5, soften up 1 and prop 9 for 5/5

tardy jolt

4/5 is some smun and recoil removal LarryDead

My SS Red is 3/5, I think im only missing out on soften up 1 tbh

||My gems are in danger this anniversary because this kanto trio is straight busted - wtf is blue/zapdos?!?!||

orchid field
#

Any gem estimate yet?

lofty relic
#

No because Absol was not able to datamine missions yet, so we cannot have a full estimate of this month atm

#

Last of Tlim's update iirc was it looks like the same as last year which as 29k but subject to change as usual

vestal leaf
#

I'd expect 28-30k considering the amount of missions and events

#

Depending on rallies or presents we might get more

tardy fiber
#

Sad, Absol didn't say anything about free bp rainbow ticket DrakePain

upbeat lotus
#

It cant be datamined anyway

Question

#

How much does a full step on the variety paid scout cost

#

Total paid gems

upbeat lotus
#

7500

#

Its the same as spotlight paid banner

vestal leaf
#

Not this variety

#

This variety is 20.2k

tardy fiber
#

Yep its like sc tiered or seasonal

#

Oh wait sc is 10k so its like new seasonal

upbeat lotus

tardy fiber
#

Wow support role paldea eggmons has
Fuecoco-sunny day
Quaxly-rain dance
Sprigatito -grassy terrain

unkempt vortex

Hold up

#

20.2k paid

#

Dena has truly lost it

chrome nest
#

Ok so there’s two options: Blue or Red

#

I don’t know who to pick

tardy fiber
#

Yep you got 25% ticket halfway just like new seasonal tiered

unkempt vortex
#

That’s funny

compact pasture
#

CyrusSweat How many free gems are we getting?

cunning swan
cunning swan

But no bonanza and no LA missions... Kinda concerning

Nothing to count

SycamorePanic 25K?

tardy fiber
#

For those wondering about gem calcs

#

There's some gems in the missions

Why not ProtonHildaCry

Is Archer the support?

tardy fiber
#

Proton

fallen path
#

Oh it is select, thought it was random lol

tardy fiber

Archer is a sprint, so ariana for me

sweet tide
#

Oh no

Why DeNa

anw the gem count wont be out today so come back in a few days

#

no idea when it'll be done

fallen path
#

At least I saved enough

#

We’ll get a ballpark number between you, absol, and shiro

ashen thunder
#

The channel is for resource saving

#

So mostly the answer gonna be don't pull unless they are your fav

flint turret
#

oh ok, sorry

sand crown
#

#poma-questions should be a good place to ask

flint turret

DrakePain Can y'all help convince me to not pull all the supports?

tardy fiber
#

I thought you only need blue, there's only 1 support master fair

compact pasture
#

But the rest are tempting

#

Especially Skarmory

maiden kayak
#

at the rate dena is going

#

im gonna expect all my favs to be limited at this point

#

thank god i saved gems for them

fallen path
#

so i'm looking at the info again, seems like we are getting 2 free things? the rocket executive and the fair exclusive 5* ticket scout

maiden kayak
#

rocket isnt exactly free

#

its just one copy

#

u have scavenge the rest via candies

fallen path
#

one is better than zero

maiden kayak
#

true

#

its only ariana and turqoise hair boss tho

fallen path
#

i'll take whatever is free lol ¯_(ツ)_/¯

sweet tide
#

anw interim count

#

have fun ^_^

maiden kayak
#

bruh

sweet tide
#

i think we have 3200 left from missions so ^_^

ashen thunder
#

That count isn't crossing 30k unless they give us good rallies

sweet tide
#

but cant confirm i only base it on what i have from pastebin

ashen thunder
#

Bruh

uncut comet
#

so we are doomed unless there's a 6k rally

ashen thunder
#

3 new MF and they spit at us

sweet tide
#

told yall to not have expectations

#

since last mth's calcs was out

#

lol

ashen thunder
#

Last month didn't cross 30k either post rallies iirc

fallen path
#

LMAO

ashen thunder
#

🤔

maiden kayak
fallen path
#

i was expecting uhhh 25k lol

#

didn't even get that WEEZing

lapis pine
#

I was expecting at least 28k

#

This is sad

ashen thunder
#

Well 21.9k is without missions

#

I assume missions would be 1k per event and that being Uber generous so still less than 25k......

uncut comet
#

21.9k + mission is very likely to be 25k for me

drifting dagger
#

So

#

For admins

#

Can we select who we want?

mossy hawk
#

Between 2

#

Archer and Ariana

maiden kayak
#

only ariana and turquoise hair boss

mossy hawk
#

If you mean the free one

fallen path
#

lethal asking if its select or not lol

mossy hawk
#

Ooh

ashen thunder
#

Free select?

maiden kayak
#

yea

#

only 2 tho

ashen thunder
#

I thought only the usual PF

sweet tide
#

where is this free select for rocket grunts

#

i still cant find the info

fallen path
#

absol

maiden kayak
#

absol

sweet tide
#

oh what

#

did i miss a tweet

ashen thunder
#

The N, marnie, raihan banner

sweet tide
#

thats pokefair

#

im talking abt the rocket grunt one

drifting dagger
ashen thunder
#

What

ashen thunder
#

That's not select?

maiden kayak
#

only 2

unkempt vortex
#

No way

maiden kayak
#

IT IS

unkempt vortex
#

21k

drifting dagger
sweet tide
#

yeah im asking about this lmao

maiden kayak
#

Absol just said it

unkempt vortex
#

STONKS PoryWoke

ashen thunder
#

Wait
So this anni has no pokefair select?

#

Wtf

drifting dagger
#

It has lol

lapis pine
#

No it has 2

#

Plus the free one

fallen path
#

the one with the marnie and n banner is the pokefair select i think

drifting dagger
#

It's either monthly fair banner, or lodge fairs

sweet tide
#

there are 2 free selects

#

1 pokefair and 1 rocket grunt

ashen thunder
#

Ah right mb

#

I got confused for a sec

sweet tide
#

pokefair one probably has all the fairs in TL

#

rocket grunt has those 2 humans idk who

drifting dagger
#

Archer and Ariana

lapis pine
#

Ariana sweep

ashen thunder
#

Hmmm
So last year we were close to 40k gems with 1 PF selector
And now we are at sub 25k gems with 1 PF selector and 1 exec selector

unkempt vortex
#

Ariana sweep

drifting dagger
#

I mean, I think the other two could be there two

#

But if not idc

ashen thunder
#

So Dena considers exec value as 15k gems

#

Wtf

drifting dagger
#

They are the worst ones design wise LMAO

maiden kayak
#

but the caveat is u need to scavenge their dupes by candies or ||spending||

ashen thunder
#

Can I get 15k gems instead of the execs

#

Thanks

unkempt vortex
#

No

drifting dagger
#

I'm not planning to use them, so

#

Archer or Ariana, stays at 1

sweet tide
#

i wonder where is this ticket

#

i cant find it

maiden kayak
#

i mean placeholder seems fine ig

sweet tide
#

probably in exchange shop

maiden kayak
#

they just suck

drifting dagger
#

What placeholder?

maiden kayak
#

u dont use them

drifting dagger
#

Ah

#

I mean, I wouldn't say placeholder for that? I guess

#

More like

#

Idk... fodder???

unkempt vortex
#

Like everything else people with massive boxes don’t use

drifting dagger
#

Yeye

#

Archer or Ariana idc, they are the ones I like, so I'm happy with whatever I get

#

It's the fair select I'm scared about, since I probably don't care for the units there

maiden kayak
#

u know i have this faint feeling that whales would quit after this ridiculous banner dump in this anni

#

probably just wanna give last ditch cash grab on the whales before whales leave completely

unkempt vortex
#

This is the first time in recent memory I’ve seen gacha devs grasping for air so hard WEEZing

maiden kayak
#

do they do that in other games when approaching eos period?

unkempt vortex
#

Yes

severe bridge
#

I'm surprised the count isn't out yet

unkempt vortex
#

Usually a bunch of banners and or free stuff

drifting dagger
#

Nah, I don't think whales would quit

#

Like...

maiden kayak
drifting dagger
#

Whales are whales

#

If they can spend that much

#

Nothing will really stop them

unkempt vortex
#

In vanguard zero the month eos was announced they gave a bunch of tickets that could he used on any banner

drifting dagger
#

Especially japanese ones

maiden kayak
#

even then 10 limited units are just nuts imo

unkempt vortex
#

It can be new banners

maiden kayak
#

like saving stash

#

and whaling

#

discounting the free stuff aside

unkempt vortex
#

Uh yes and no?

#

Zero went to a box system

#

From gacha system like most games to box so everything had a limited number you could get

#

So you were guaranteed to get the high rarity stuff eventually but not exactly bottom of the box

maiden kayak
#

i dont understand what it means

#

poma context please

drifting dagger
#

All I can say is, I'm happy we don't have the ones that managed megaman x dive, amd the taiwanese version of the same game

rustic heron
#

it sounds like it’s similar to the prize box events

unkempt vortex
#

Basically imagine there was a certain number of 3 and 4* per banner and one 5* of each unit per banner

rustic heron
#

where there’s the featured reward and then a limited number of other rewards you can pull from

drifting dagger
#

Cuz they let that game go to shit, and shit is still bad right now, even with the paid version

unkempt vortex
#

And once you got the limit of that character you couldn’t get dupes unless you reset

maiden kayak
#

its like monthly poke fair?

unkempt vortex
#

No

#

I might have a SS

maiden kayak
#

oh

#

any similarities to what poma is doing rn

ashen thunder
#

Poma increasing new limiteds is still pretty abnormal compared to most gachas

#

Like most games tend to have like 10 new limited units per year max

#

While there's a lot of reruns to bait out players

maiden kayak
#

i mean tbf other game rates are shitty so

drifting dagger
ashen thunder
#

Yea but like MFs are still 1%

#

With PFs it's fine

drifting dagger
#

Also, just to ask...

#

How are the bps? Worth getting or no?

ashen thunder
#

Hmmm I only glanced at em

#

They seem better than prev batches

maiden kayak
#

this anni is even brutal than 5 MFs ngl

ashen thunder
#

The gem count is also looking pretty horrible

#

For a month with 7 MFs running at once

drifting dagger
#

I'm pissed at how we gotta wait 1 more year for morgan

#

The one I like the most

maiden kayak
#

at this rate im expecting all favs to be limited

drifting dagger
#

Even if I hate virizion

maiden kayak
#

i honestly thought favs like dahalia will get reg pool

unkempt vortex
#

No one is safe

maiden kayak
#

but after seeing ||argenta||

#

it seems impossible

ashen thunder
#

Emma being PF itself was a sign already

#

I didn't even know who the hell she was till she dropped

severe bridge
unkempt vortex
#

Why add more gen pool when surely people will pull for everything if we make it limited

maiden kayak
#

yea i even think malva might be pokefair for all we know

unkempt vortex
#

It’s like 21k so far

drifting dagger
ashen thunder
drifting dagger
#

Which isn't exactly so bad, but also not so good

ashen thunder
#

It's gonna be 25k range without rallies

#

And past rallies are 🚮

tough oriole
# drifting dagger How are the bps? Worth getting or no?

Registeel seems like a great defensive tank
Regice has SEUN for allies which is nice
Valerie is a much needed fairy type strike
Falkner is an acceptable debuffer and flying nuke
Olivia is just copypasta evelyn
Barry is interesting, but at least its a support with tech utility

drifting dagger
#

Dreamy said around 30k or so earlier

unkempt vortex
#

30k seems like a pipe dream

ashen thunder
#

30k is possible if they do a 6k gem rally

#

I do think they can do it

drifting dagger
unkempt vortex
#

Biggest cope

ashen thunder
#

But like PrycePain

unkempt vortex
#

After last time

drifting dagger
unkempt vortex
#

They MIGHT do 3k rally

drifting dagger
ashen thunder
#

There's clearly a management shift

#

It's pretty noticable with how they treat anni

#

Psure they changed localisation team around Anabel release

maiden kayak
#

who tf in charges of the management

#

that person needs to be reassessed

ashen thunder
#

Coz Anabel was the one started the alien language in kit

maiden kayak
#

naming sense is shit

#

fashion sense has gone stale

fallen path
maiden kayak
#

and variety dupe nonsense

unkempt vortex
#

Are you not entertained by p move up stat down

ashen thunder
#

Current management is trying to hire more popular JP seiyuus and bigger focus on gala costumes

#

Past few seiyuus we got for new chars are big names

#

We didn't have that after year 1

maiden kayak
#

ok i get that but the naming sense even with AI or chatgpt , they should be able to come up with better names right

#

not p move bloody hell

but im still pissed about (Alt)

i'm not happy that dena have gotten lazy and the gem counts are going down PrycePain

drifting dagger
maiden kayak
#

while other langauges get better naming sense

ashen thunder
#

Eh
They forgot the existence of clutch critical when giving red his passive, literally SophoKEK

unkempt vortex
#

As we all know directly translating Japanese to English has no problems whatsoever

maiden kayak
#

is it that hard to give proper names

sweet tide
#

honestly with the way this anni is moving, its signalling eos lol

#

come on

unkempt vortex
#

We gotta baby the new players

#

Too many big words for their tiny brains

sweet tide
unkempt vortex
ashen thunder

Yea but its still fine to give same name

drifting dagger
#

Maybe even worse

maiden kayak
sweet tide
#

dena is whack with their passives names anw its not the first time lol

ashen thunder
#

I am quite certain both passives work the same way

#

They just forgot it

maiden kayak
#

im pretty sure they just plug and go without any thinking or reassessment

sweet tide
#

yeah

#

they can just do

#

red's [insert wtv crap]

#

and put a bunch of passives in it

#

but they choose to do it

#

p-moves and s-moves crit

#

~_~

maiden kayak
#

yea

drifting dagger
maiden kayak
#

ultimately assessment is by u

#

AI is supposed to only give u draft

#

not final product

drifting dagger
#

Ah

maiden kayak
#

and dena seems to use that as final product which is totally bull

unkempt vortex
#

Tell that to people who have it write entire essays for them

for who?

Students or employees

Asking people to critically think today is like asking them if they have reading comprehension

That's worse than 2nd anni

#

What was 3rd anni gem count

vestal leaf
#

I'm expecting 27-28k minimum

#

Maximum 32-34k

drifting dagger
#

Nah

vestal leaf
#

Imo

drifting dagger
#

I think max will be 30k or so

ashen thunder
#

34k sounds like cope

drifting dagger
#

Maximum 34 with rallies or free gems like presents did, since it happened before

vestal leaf
#

Well 30-32k is feasible

Consider we're getting 4k just from Anni gems

drifting dagger
#

Which doesn't change it's still low

#

But still

#

YeH

#

*yeah

vestal leaf
#

And the event amount iirc is better than August which was 28k

ashen thunder
#

Acc to tilm we are only getting 21.9k excluding missions and rallies

#

Coz we don't have info on mission gems

drifting dagger
#

Dreamy said around 30k too

#

I'm expecting 30-32k

I mean 30k gems is good…. But its anni….
