Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[lilac crescent]

I skipped it...

[winged fossil]

I might’ve missed some of its milestone rewards for the event rewards themselves too, dunno how much that adds. Either way it’s too late to do anything about now

I procrastinated on it too long and forgot bout it cause there wasn’t a ! LMAO

Still don’t like that it was time-gated missions and no tine-gated stages for reminder

https://tenor.com/view/riolu-sighs-sigh-anime-gif-24107254

[lilac crescent]

Can relate.

[fallen path]

that's why I just get some of them done immediately

[hasty umbra]

intentionally ignoring an event until certain things happen when your memory cannot be trusted is a bad combo

[fallen path]

This month I had to do the whole BV manually because I forgot to complete it last month. That wasn’t fun

[lilac crescent]

Right.

[wind nymph]

That's a lot man!
No problem you missed those gems, more are coming!

[dark oar]

currently 32,xxx nonpaid and 2.4k paid gems ;o

[wind nymph]

Hi guys I just realized the hardest part of saving gems is not starting, but actually holding still when you've got around 18k gems and new banners appear. IMO one of the best things the server has ever done was adding the +scout command so you know what to go for, or what should you go for at least. With that in mind I started saving for NCRosa since she was announced in the datamine, and I held still despite the other awesome units announced like the tapus, I almost slipped with them
I just wanted to thank you for making this channel so we can share our saving experiences, and wish luck to you all

[tardy fiber]

You can get her for sure as she will last till 25th January...good luck and nice effort

[uneven bone]

Huh. I just went from having zero gems to 1.1K. Now if only I can be sensible and save lmao

[broken mulch]

1,5 months of saving should get you a pity

Maybe 1,75

[uneven bone]

Definitely going to save for the foreseeable future.

And I’ve got 171 pity points on Nate

[vestal leaf]

I'm so sorry, hopefully it's a lesson on not splitting or scouting without 36k

[vestal leaf]

Hope you get lucky so you can actually keep saving up

Once you get past 50-70k it's all downhill in saving

[lilac crescent]

I'm saving until something interesting happens.

[vernal glade]

Reminder todays the last day of battle villa. Be sure to collect those 2k gems

[lilac crescent]

I already finished.

[grim plover]

datamine tonight

[lilac crescent]

Yessir. What you think we gonna get this New Year?

[violet nebula]

Master fairs

[grim plover]

Sprint SSA Cynthia and Field SST Red reruns

[compact pasture]

I just remembered SSA Cyn sets zone every sync

[feral vale]

Doubt it tbh

[broken mulch]

Datamine On the 22nd?

[pure arrow]

I’m guessing a 25th or 26th datamine because of NC Rosa

But then again I don’t have a great handle on when December datamines usually are

[hard wave]

2019: monday, 23
2020: monday, 21
2021: tuesday, 21
2022: monday, 26

[broken mulch]

Huh

[pure arrow]

Appreciate it

[lilac crescent]

Gotta be on the 23th.

[broken mulch]

Oh right Christmas vacation lol

[lilac crescent]

[hard wave]

A saturday?

[lilac crescent]

Possibly.

[hard wave]

Its prob today 25th or 26th

Since its a friday in japan rn I think, it may happen or could be monday/tuesday same reset or reset after nc rosa

[broken mulch]

I don’t think they’re gonna do it on Christmas

[lilac crescent]

I wonder what clothing option we'll get after Dark. I hope it's Flow (Water)

[broken mulch]

I think Tuesday is the most likely, followed by Friday or a weekend update

[hard wave]

Its just the 4 we have now, they may add new ones in datamine or just rerun them

[lilac crescent]

Default, 6🌟EX, Chill, Cute, and Fresh...

[hard wave]

Wait uh daylight savings is messing me up im cst so datamine used to be 12 AM

[hard wave]

These and dark

After that there isnt any

[lilac crescent]

What if we get another EX recolor?

[hard wave]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/604025184692731904/1100528717924675594/hero_colors.png?ex=65947b3d&is=6582063d&hm=0bb4c6a1696624b13e722cedc16bfb56327671d2748131249a69179f8a5ece4b&

[hard wave]

Possibly, but for now just these

[lilac crescent]

Sooner or later, we'll get a EX recolor for Pikachu. I just know it.

[hard wave]

<t:1703221200:F>

<t:1703566800:F>

?

[broken mulch]

Is that the update:datamine drop

[hard wave]

They dont do weekend updates bcz they need employees there incase smth happens I think

[hard wave]

Yeah

[broken mulch]

Then yeah usually at those times

[hard wave]

Hm alr so in about 5 hrs 20 min or monday for me

[winged fossil]

just finished my BV clear for the month

[rare swan]

Don't lose that skip....

[grim plover]

Idk they still need ||to change the icon before rosa||

[hard wave]

She hasnt been officially announced yet

And they dont have to change it

[sturdy flower]

do we have content till the end of the month

or they are not giving employees vacation this year due to bad yen situation in Japan?

[dark oar]

spoiler that 😮

[rare swan]

Japan doesn't celebrate Christmas, so no holidays

[lilac crescent]

Neither do my parents.

[grim plover]

True

[oak crest]

To some of them, christmas is a season to eat KFC

like there actually are vids abt it in youtube

[broken mulch]

Isn’t Christmas big there?

Well Christmas Eve

[dark oar]

its just a marketing push. most people dont actually celebrate xmas in a traditional sense of giftgiving and whatnot.

[oak crest]

they probably celebrate but no official holiday ig

meanwhile I dont celebrate xmas but it is a public holiday here

[broken mulch]

Oh yeah it’s not an official holiday there

… but labor thanksgiving is the heck is that

[rare swan]

Christmas is big as an aesthetic across North Asia (I live here), but it's not celebrated the way it is in the west as a religious holiday

Decorations are incredible though

[robust plaza]

Gem count

Still have nc stadium to do

[oak crest]

Fellow Asian spotted

[tardy fiber]

I'm Asian too

Southeast Asian

[fallen path]

Hi Asian too , I am also Asian, but I don’t live in Asia

[tardy fiber]

My country grabbed all of the holidays that i sometimes wondered if the international companies hate our workforce due to that too many holidays

[oak crest]

how many do u have

there is never too many holidays

[hard wave]

Same

[tardy fiber]

Around 15 different holidays but some of them have 2 days off so around 20+

Hope the datamine is on poma day, well the earlier the better

[oak crest]

Ooh

[summer goblet]

By tmw, I shall reach 400k f2p gems

Left off where i started in Sept

[summer goblet]

Mission accomplished

[unkempt apex]

How many did you have in September?

[summer goblet]

around 400k as well

anni drain me hard

to commenrate another milestone again, i will give you 10 saving lessons i learn that you can apply too as well

eventually

[summer goblet]

1. always have a pity no matter what and be ready to be shafted

2. have a list of characters/Pokémon you want on the list for some clairty

3. Discipline trumps Conviction- temper your impluse and stick to your savings

4. track your gem spending so you can at least be aware how much you spending and how you can improve on it

5. When you pull, go all in or all out, do not punk out in the middle of the pulls

6. Be very efficient in your spending. Don't use gems to get more dupes, use gems only to get new units.

7. Skipping your fav and waiting on rerun is a pretty good strats to help gather more gems and fight for another day. EOS is the only way to lose

8. Adjust yourself when nessary. If you struggle to keep up with your favs or meta, try cutting down a bit to add more gem flow to your bank.

9. Playing everyday is the fastest way to gain gems consistently. To do that without burning out, try to do the bare min of 100 daily gems and some require mission before logging out.

10. Have fun and try not to compare yourself too much, everyone's journey is always uniquie

[lost bobcat]

Rallies?

[crisp grotto]

I feel like that's just the login bonuses

[maiden kayak]

wait wot

lol

[lost bobcat]

I really need the training area rallies

Hope they'll bring back all the old respurces events/rallies including bonanza

[tardy fiber]

Welcome paldea rally

[tardy fiber]

Oh right, seeing the next dev letter on 1st January, datamine might be on 28 (thursday) or 29 (friday)

[winged fossil]

I’ve got 18 pair stories backlog with two being event pairs (summer n, summer marnie); anyone know how much gems approx those two summer pairs would give me? I assume the 16 others would just be ten each cause no evolutions but I’m clueless on how to estimate with those two

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-charizard-hmm-thinking-gif-15677698

Trying to figure out an estimate of my gems rn if I include unclaimed

[tardy fiber]

Seasonals have 50 or 60 gems iirc

Others are just 10

[winged fossil]

I’m thinking I’m prob at like 64k or so tho (62.8k, haven’t done winter rerun bc stage and haven’t done pasio cs or the gear event or Thornton ub. I theoretically could do Thornton but it’d be a slow clear so prob won’t bother unless emergency till I get something smoother)

[tardy fiber]

Thorton easier to clear for me than anabel, i still haven't clear anabel

I use 2/5 sshilda for thorton, not even 3/5

[winged fossil]

I didn’t go for leaf so the only clear I could do rn would be the frog clear and it just seems… slow. I’m too lazy for how it seems esp when idk if can replicate it without dupes on calem anyways

Rather just wait for the inevitable of a future smoother clear. I think I saw a couple options in the pending clears tho. Would have to research the mayziken anni n ncblue one from that set

Dunno if it’s a slow clear or smooth one but if it is then that’s 300 more gems for whoever comes

Else I’m not sweating for that haha

Anyways, I’m really hoping still an early datamine like the night after Christmas but the fact we got a mini devletter early with a later date for the proper makes me less sure of that

I just really want to know what the selects are this year

Cause nearly done hoarding the 10k paid

4 resets to go on that

[tardy fiber]

New year might have selects but they are usually 5k

[grim plover]

I saw a 3k gems on Twitter, was that included in the initial gem count?

[tardy fiber]

Yep its the Christmas gift login

Thats why Christmas reset have 6630 gems

[untold tide]

Nothing quite like fishing for Bea or Sonia dupe

And getting nessa again

Screwed by tickets

[tardy fiber]

Seasonal banner rerun rates are horrendous, i hope they split the banner pool soon

[crisp grotto]

Yeah 2% split over 8 pairs is quite absurd

[wind nymph]

Guys I need help

Help me save 72k gems by the end of next year

[crisp oracle]

what if I told you that you can do that in three months

[sturdy flower]

any info of unaccounted gems

i want to finish all gem stuff but i got cobid and im tired

[upbeat lotus]

Do you mean permanent gem sources? Because we are aware of every accounted gem source

[sturdy flower]

as in, did we get to know something not known from datamine (rally, gift, etc)

[upbeat lotus]

Then there is basically none

[drifting dagger]

Quick question

||Is it ok talk about which paid deals to buy here?||

[tough oriole]

I guess it’s fine, but feel free to consult #1010215980175208468

[timber wren]

yeah that’s still resource management

[nocturne spade]

I haven’t had this much in a long time

[maiden kayak]

2 moar days to datamine

[winged fossil]

im fine with 5k selects if it means getting a good deal on one the units i still have interest in

[tardy fiber]

Yep, i will grab if there's ||sslana, ssacerola, eusine, sshilda to 3/5 em ||

[winged fossil]

im aiming for ||gloralt, sczinnia, paulo, or ssbrendan|| probably. ||might consider lucas or eusine depending on if theres much else available||

i just have some units that i want that id prob not be willing to pity for so, selects help with that.

hoping to keep myself to 1 select tho so i can have a guaranteed 1 select for next anni or whatever else comes up, but idm going for 2 at once. worst case i just get more orb bundles next year

trying to keep my $ spending light so im generally aiming to not go over having ~10k paid at a time. not like i have too wide of a wishlist for selects, and if i see good gauntlet/etc banners i still might consider a pity for someone on my selects list in the future. but for most part, trying to save my free gems for new pairs now that i got all my major rerun targets

its just nice to have the option available to grab selects if they have even lesser favs in them. ill still generally follow my rule for those of "does this actually do something for their intended niche, or am i not gonna use it much" (since that criteria got me out of ||Penny|| temptation for example)

[lilac crescent]

I swear to God, I'm still pissed off at myself for spending 12k+ gems on a unit, I didn't GET.

[tardy fiber]

Kinda why we save for 36.6k and if we get the unit with 12k+, we carry the remaining balance to form pity for next unit

At least spending for a unit that you wont get wont happen, just difference is the cost ...either a pity or less than a pity

Also for those that thought the unit will be hard to rerun, but they do rerun unless its collab units like ash, jessie, james or some random pair like bugscyther

[lost bobcat]

Also 12k is not too much to "expect" something

Worth expecting nothing and save for pity
Then we can enjoy the surprise of getting it early (eventually)

[tardy fiber]

2 months usually to form a pity and for new players, just build the f2p pairs roster like legendary adventures and story pairs within those 2 months and start to pull on 3rd month if there's a fave, if not just continue skipping and increasing gem savings amount

[lilac crescent]

I've got 20k now... just gotta wait for another month or this New Year's.

[tardy fiber]

Oh right does we get free 3k gems on new year? Or its just for Christmas, i forgot about new year stuffs

[lost bobcat]

Consider saving a lot after failing a banner, just be sure it never happens again by building a good backup of gems
Use that pain as motivation

[tardy fiber]

True, bad experience is usually a wake up call and not a call to trigger yolo instincts

[lilac crescent]

True.

Wait, what?

[tardy fiber]

Like my wake up call is being able to pity zerena, 2 days before her banner ends...i almost lose zygarde

Do not let you missing a pair and like spending 12k gems and you feel like dont worry next time maybe i can get in 6k gems...then you still didn't get the next pair and you wasted 18k gems with 0 pairs

Thats yolo instinct

Thinking the next one might be good

Instead the wasted gems keep on piling

[lilac crescent]

Here's the thing...

The only reason I wanted Penny was because I thought I needed Penny.

It was against Hugh during the Eevee Day event and Rei.

And now that I think of it, I realize how stupid that was.

[tardy fiber]

Usually Tempted due to EBE is also usual bait by DeNa, and then you thought back, you spending probably a pity worth of 36.6k gems to get 300/600 gems

36600/600 = 61...spending 61 times to get the reward

[lilac crescent]

Hey, atleast the game's not paid to win.

[tardy fiber]

Yep thats why, dont pull unless fave and have a pity on hand

Even the hardcore content that probably need exclusive pairs like EBE and ultimate battle give small amount of gems rewards

So in a sense, DeNa is kinda nice

It will be more baity if like get 3k gems from the fight

Yet still lesser than 36.6k

[lilac crescent]

I'd still go for it.

Even if it's 1k I'll get.

I will still go for that EBE. I will be annoying as ever if it's to get atleast 1k.

[tardy fiber]

I only do it if its clearable by the units i have, not gonna pull non faves just to clear it...if not you will end up pulling everything and you cannot aave

And it will be like i spent 12k gems and i didnt get the unit

[lilac crescent]

Can relate.

[tardy fiber]

Just grab bp valerie if you want nice fairy pair

She's strong and free

[upbeat lotus]

you should setup a punishment if you get distracted from pulling

for example: EX Cheren

thats the method im using rn, and i hate EXing Cheren

[lilac crescent]

What's wrong with Cheren?

[prime quarry]

He's arguably the single worst 5 star support

[lilac crescent]

Dang.

How come?

[upbeat lotus]

thats the question for #poma-questions

thats my example, if you want to follow it, setup a punishment first

[tardy fiber]

Cannot wait to get him 3/5 in time

[upbeat lotus]

at least 3/5 makes him more helpful a bit

[tardy fiber]

This upcoming poma day is calem right?

[upbeat lotus]

yup

[tardy fiber]

Nice i need to see his 2/5 grid

[upbeat lotus]

next month it goes back to Rosa

[tardy fiber]

Woohoo 3/5 rosa

[lilac crescent]

Can't wait to 2/5 units that I don't really care too much about.

[tardy fiber]

They probably helps like sometimes event have boost on random pairs and they might came in clutch, also sometimes useful for EBE

Kinda why i made all non eggmon pairs 5*

I remembered Blaine helps me to clear anniraihan EBE

[lilac crescent]

Have you guys ever done something so stupid-

That you-

Umm...

[tardy fiber]

Yep, i pulled for Emmet and he isn't my fave due to i was scared that people will scold me in rock 3* gear co-op

Like they cannot even do anything even if they hate me

There's no chat in game, no block button

If i realised that, I probably have extra 18k gems

[lilac crescent]

Co-op is just a cake-roll.

I wish it was kinda harder.

[lost bobcat]

No, it's fine
We had Giovanni and Skyla stages, it was fun but horrible

Also idk why but I find annoying ppl just setting hail or changing zone then afk
Glad they put a limit so no more lvl1 rattata guy

Having a new coop gamemode would be fun tho, if they give nice rewards

[lilac crescent]

I just play Support since everyone just does their things.

[tardy fiber]

Raid mode

[wind nymph]

Back, I just want to say I need to preserve 72k until next Christmas

[upbeat lotus]

thats totally possible, good luck

you can get that amount in 3.5 - 4 months

[tardy fiber]

I hope January is a skip because i know there's good possibility that half anni might have some of my faves

[summer goblet]

In 24 hours, I shall get my fav

And down my gems again

And then, back to hibernation again

For 3 straight months

As always

[upbeat lotus]

Gems update before ||NC Rosa!||

||I will wait until I have 36.6k and datamine reveal before pulling her (she is a big fav)||

[dark oar]

hopefully we get something i can save for whoever's coming on Feb/Half Anni xd

[rare swan]

mood

at this point my savings target is half anni since i'm hoping there will be something i want there

[tardy fiber]

Gems progress ||before next reset||

[lilac crescent]

Oh hey. We're both Scottie.

[tardy fiber]

Because i like to use the official name when there's one existing for the character...so Scottie, Bettie

[wind nymph]

Never knew their original names were Scottie and Bettie

I also find it weird that they rhyme

[dry cargo]

Checking in

[timber wren]

at least you can be reasonably confident it won’t be triple galar/kanto again

savings goals for next year is the hope for klara/melli/iono/rika and the actual potential for Green being added since LGPE has been acknowledged with elaine

[drifting dagger]

||Mmh, my main issue was related to the NY deals since the doc didn't had the prices for them||

[timber wren]

we haven’t gotten special NY deals in years

not since 2021 iirc?

[rare swan]

thank god

i'd like to actually pull one of the 5-6 anni units next year

[crisp grotto]

What if triple Unova instead

[rare swan]

they can't take both annis, thank god

[crisp grotto]

True

I just want one (1) cross region anni

[rare swan]

yeah i miss the days of 3 units from 3 different regions

was a lot more fun

[crisp grotto]

Definitely

[dark oar]

wat? whatcha mean? like Anni 3 with Kanto/Sinnoh?

[crisp grotto]

Well yes, cross-region Anni 3 had two rats from the same region still

[dark oar]

ah you want something like Anni 2, unova/alola/hoenn

[rare swan]

yup

2nd anni my beloved

[crisp grotto]

Mhm 2nd Anni was awesome

Hoenn/Kalos/Sinnoh would be so cool

[upbeat lotus]

Johto Anni when

[rare swan]

Switch either Hoenn or Sinnoh with Johto, since it and Kalos are the only regions with no anni unit

Then it would be amazing

[crisp grotto]

Fine Sinnoh can wait

As long as I'm finally given Heracross and/or Scizor with good, deserving trainers

[upbeat lotus]

Anni Wikstrom & ||non mega evolvable|| Scizor

[crisp grotto]

I see you're reciprocating Tai for joining the dark side?

[dark oar]

I think Johto/Kalos/Galar would be good too.

[crisp oracle]

https://tenor.com/view/trash-cans-dancing-trash-cans-trash-can-dancing-trash-can-shut-up-gif-24101099

[lean mango]

Remember children, don't make bets you know you'll lose

[untold tide]

Meta wise, how bad is it to pull for Greninja before tomorrow with a pity saved? Need advice to best know how to manage my gems

Like, literally an exact pity

[lean mango]

I mean, are expected to lose a pity? If do you do you think you'll regret it if you do?

I have no idea how meta works especially with Greninja but these are questions I ask my self

[upbeat lotus]

This channel is not for meta question sadly. #poma-questions is the correct channel

[untold tide]

Makes sense

[feral vale]

#gacha-and-flex message

[drifting dagger]

||Since I have a buck on google rewards, should I wait for tomorrow or NY to buy a gem deal?||

[vestal leaf]

Wait for datamine methinks

[drifting dagger]

Mmh

[summer goblet]

I’m not sure if I’ve gotten a bit tired of constant saving my gems and candies

[crisp oracle]

ah yes, the game where dreamy pulled out stars out of thin air to doom apple to EX cheren

[summer goblet]

Or that playing everyday without a break will wear down on some people

[feral vale]

I was trying to make him lose too
Plus I was super close to winning

[summer goblet]

Anyway, I’m seriously hitting a saving plateau

Where I reach 400k gems and then back where I started around 300kish

[rustic heron]

datamine tonight who's ready

[lilac crescent]

I'm not.

Wait....

[deft glen]

I am

[lilac crescent]

Yea, I'm not ready.

What do you think the datamine will include?

[tardy fiber]

I hope its today, the earlier the better but the next dev letter will be on 1st January so i think it might be on 29th

[summer goblet]

It is?

Should be 27th

Cause of the eggs

[grim plover]

but ny datamine is often early

tho it's likely that they wait a little more to rerun then 3rd anni trio with red/cynthia in the app icon

[lilac crescent]

Ash, Red, or Scottie/Bettie?

[tardy fiber]

Oh right, there's eggs event so probably 27th

[summer goblet]

Could be earlier who knows

I go by the usual release patterns or releasing everything before datamine

[tardy fiber]

I just gonna hatch galar starters normally, not gonna go hard with egg passes like eevees...they are just the normal shiny starters with rain, sun, grassy terrain kit

Oops galar

[tough oriole]

Necro is this you? #subreddit-feed message

[lilac crescent]

If they can't evolve, I'm going to be sad.

[dark oar]

they cannot evolve unfortunately. 😭

[lilac crescent]

God darn it.

They did the same thing with the Paldea starters.

I kinda wish they add the Elemental Monkeys as Egg Pairs.

[oak crest]

oh, time to dump all the fire 1s to the professor bilis

i hate that thing

Gem check before I ||break zen this coming reset||

will be my highest gem count for awhile unless I get lucky

[tardy fiber]

Cannot wait for this reset, bye2 solgaleo color outfit...i gonna go dark after this

[lilac crescent]

Dark...

[tardy fiber]

Yep the spectrier color outfit, although victor stole spectrier from MC

[hard wave]

Ive been sticking w blue, idk if ill change it

[tardy fiber]

Blue looks nice with cobalion, i used it when i need to use cobalion on cs

Wearing nice outfit for specific pairs

[lilac crescent]

I'm not really sure what my MC's outfit with match with.

I said with twice.

[crisp oracle]

Its likely not today if Japan celebrates Christmas like the west does

[lilac crescent]

Japanese celebrates Christmas?

[rare swan]

It does not

[lilac crescent]

That kinda makes sense to me.

Deja vu.

[maiden kayak]

nice job

glad to see someone near 300k makr

[feral vale]

Huh? That’s the opposite of what I read up. It’s very popular there and they even have their own traditions

Yes, it’s not a national holiday here like in the west, but it’s still celebrated.

Actually, one of my favorites is that so many people order KFC and they have it at Christmas parties/gatherings

[lilac crescent]

KFC? In Japan?

[dark oar]

Yes.

[feral vale]

Oh yeah. It’s everywhere.

[lilac crescent]

McDonald's?

[feral vale]

Tis a thing

[dark oar]

t's a viral campaign in japan. and it became a xmas tradition.

[hard wave]

Alot of american stuff is in many other countries

[feral vale]

One thing to know about Japan: They loooove food.

[hard wave]

Source; asian-american

[hard wave]

[lilac crescent]

Can relate. I also love food.

[feral vale]

I still have this to read, but there’s quite a few I’ve discerned from Japanese culture from what I’ve seen

[dark oar]

2008 book
D:

[feral vale]

My version is from 2019.

Look at the top of the book in my pic

“Revised and Expanded with New Topics”

[dark oar]

nice.

[lilac crescent]

Ok.

[tough oriole]

Afaik it’s extremely popular in Japan

[lilac crescent]

Burger King?

[feral vale]

I personally don’t know, but would not be surprised if they did expand there.

[dark oar]

ah. Burger King in Japan loves to make burgers that are pretty solid and have variety.

[upbeat lotus]

I thought i stepped in offtopic channel

[tough oriole]

Save gems by saving money by not spending on fast food so you can spend on gems

[rare swan]

I live in North Asia - Christmas is not a holiday and is not celebrated traditionally here

It's more of a retail holiday for couples

[tough oriole]

Or save gems so you have to spend less for gems so that you can afford fast food

[rare swan]

Plenty of decorations though

[feral vale]

I did hear Christmas Eve is very romantic in Japan.

[uneven bone]

And a lot of people get fried chicken on Christmas in Japan

[summer goblet]

here is my early christmas gift- saving lessons

https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonMasters/comments/18q7tz5/10_lessons_i_learn_about_gem_savings_and/

[feral vale]

@uneven bone Yep

[dark oar]

We celebrate xmas here in the philippines. Like the whole Jesus Christ + Saint Nicholas.

Much like Japan, we LOVE to eat a lotta food for Xmas Day.

[upbeat lotus]

This is very helpful ty

[summer goblet]

you welcome

[crisp oracle]

KFC is better in Japan than it is in America lol

[lilac crescent]

I haven't had KFC in a while.

[uneven bone]

Meanwhile in Australia, it’s usually very hot at Christmas time.

Summer sucks.

[crisp oracle]

anyways

thoughts on the gem

I was in Denver and I found the factory where they produce gems for Pasio

[feral vale]

Gem gud

[tough oriole]

Save gems™️

[crisp oracle]

here it is

they produce gems here

[upbeat lotus]

Time to plan for robbery

[uneven bone]

Sweet, now go to Casa Bonita

[upbeat lotus]

[lilac crescent]

Let me in on this.

[crisp oracle]

should have gone there, the food in Colorado wasn't very good and Casa Bonita could have been marginally better

[lilac crescent]

Casa Bonita?

[summer goblet]

In one hour, ||Rosa shall be mine||

[uneven bone]

Yeah the guys that made South Park own it

[summer goblet]

though it will kinda suck to see my gem count go down a bit again

[crisp oracle]

he rich

Anyways I should be able to hit 160K tomorrow

[hard wave]

Wait sorry, isnt japan east asia?

[rare swan]

Same same

[hard wave]

Well ig we’ll see in 6 mins if we get datamine anyway

[rare swan]

Either way we are not getting a datamine on Christmas regardless lmfao

[hard wave]

1445 minutes until datamine

[winged fossil]

Merry Christmas, zen chat.

[tardy fiber]

Merry Christmas

Hoping for datamine soon

[fallen path]

Merry Christmas

it will be soon, Vantner

[tawny cedar]

The moment datamine comes my temptation of ||nate|| will go away

[unkempt apex]

||Had to go to pity for Rosa||. 36k gems going into the new year

[tawny cedar]

Hope its next reset

[winged fossil]

Also anyone know what event shop just left

[tough oriole]

Alola va

Oof

[unkempt apex]

Going to pity on a unit really does put it all in perspective, in a way...more than a month's worth of saving

[maiden kayak]

guyys

1 more day

just endure

[summer goblet]

question for saving

||I pull Rosa today with only 2 multi||

should I continue or should i stop

granted my game crash midway before ||getting Rosa on 2nd multi||

[crisp grotto]

Stop, you could go all the way to pity before another copy

[summer goblet]

you know what, yeah i should stop

i think today karma rewarded me

by writing a good saving guide for Christmas on Reddit

and trying to be a good friend on a emotional week

[untold tide]

Stop, you basically are 6k away from the next fave pair pity

And February is approaching

[tardy fiber]

I hope there's a fairy fave in datamine, tired of using non fairy faves for fairy weak stuffs ...magearna or something

[tough oriole]

Yes lillie will have magearna

[rare swan]

Striker Xerneas is right there

[upbeat lotus]

who

[tardy fiber]

I already made him a second fairy damage dealer, after the standard damage reduction param was introduced

[rare swan]

do not sob-react me. I'm Right,

LET 👏 THE DEER 👏 D 👏 P 👏 S!!!!!!!!!

[crisp grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-bad-animation-twinkle-tackle-xernous-pokemon-sun-gif-22623650

True

[upbeat lotus]

oh no not that cursed animation

my deer

[prime quarry]

Xerneas VGC flashbacks

[rare swan]

YES!!!

[tardy fiber]

Cannot wait for datamine, got a healthy amount of gems waiting for more faves

[round mason]

happy holidays

[winged fossil]

huh. i just realized.
...i formed a candy today. and i still don't own a sprint pair!

what fun. the irony in that just...
it feels wrong to have this.

[dark oar]

i'm missing 1 sprint candy coin 😭

[winged fossil]

(in technicality, i have 19 coins rn but the event missions give +1 more and im doing that event mission in the morning.)

[tardy fiber]

I got 2 sprint pair but they aint getting any candy from me

[winged fossil]

Main reason I am even at it already I think is cause of ||master fair presents cause I’ve pulled like five different Master Fairs between anni starting and now, dunno what banner they started giving them in.||

I’m prob just holding it for till Paulo reruns

Candys the reason I didn’t go for Paulo. I’d be willing to select him now

[vestal leaf]

Thanks to yet another shaft (the 10th this year) I am once again reminded that the only reason I'm not constantly at sub 2 pity range is because I can save for 2-3 months without falling

And that getting unlucky streaks can and will always happen

It's just a matter of when

[winged fossil]

For me it’s such random times that my luck decides to go from some of the best to some of the worst then right back to whichever it started at then back to opposite etc. I always just feel like if the average person rolls a d20 for their stuff, I’m over here on like a d100 or some shit like that lol. (Source: roguelike games that I play at any given time)

Makes me just be like “what happens, happens” and stick to expecting pity when I can keep myself in check. Thankfully I’ve gotten decently well at identifying when I need to stop myself

[vestal leaf]

Yeah I always expect pity

But there's also always a voice inside me saying "hopefully we don't get there tho"

[winged fossil]

And savings only gonna get easier for me since I need less and less things to be satisfied the more favs I collect

[vestal leaf]

And when it happens, I get sad anyway

[winged fossil]

I’m sure I’ll plateau at some point on even being interested in anything that’s not a brand new niche outside of my favs. It’s just a matter of when I’ll reach that point of super chill of not feeling temptations anymore.

[vestal leaf]

I scout only faves, but my fave list is really long

Like, 6-8 per region

[winged fossil]

I also need to keep myself from reading kits like I’ve been trying to avoid. ||I think reading kit is what made me grab something tonight. I don’t regret it but like, it’s still 9k that coulda gone to a fav||

At least most of the cost was covered by todays new gems I guess? Just happy to be floating close to 2 pities still

Anyways, once again merry Christmas zen chat and gn

https://tenor.com/view/serena-pokémon-pokemon-serena-pokémon-serena-serena-pokemon-pokémon-christmas-gif-24180521

(Really wish this ^ was an ingame serena alt haha doubt it’ll ever happen since Serena didn’t partake in Kalos holiday alt duo tho)

[tardy fiber]

Like my fave list

[lost bobcat]

Hope no more anime things, but they were close this time with Viola

[tardy fiber]

PoGo collab next, it's not anime

[lost bobcat]

Hope yes, so I can skip

[broken mulch]

Plz let January be skip

[tardy fiber]

Need to save some pities for half anni

And seeing our recent average monthly gem, january + february might only sum up to 50k gems, not even 2 pities to prepare for half anni

[rare swan]

that hairstyle is actually originally from her concept art

[tardy fiber]

I hope DeNa give more alts to characters that still not yet have alt for 2024, their choices this year are kinda nice like first alt for liza, tate, viola, sycamore, jasmine etc

[upbeat lotus]

Release Alexa first

[tardy fiber]

AZ when? I thought he was kinda important for Kalos lore

[grim plover]

i was expecting him for the kalos VA

[tardy fiber]

Hope he appears for mysterious stones arc

[grim plover]

It's gonna be the primals

[dark oar]

I too would want Primals.

(Including Primal Dialga <3)

[broken mulch]

Oh huh

I didn’t realize her model was actually true to the character’s sketches

I thought it was just a random designer’s thing

[tardy fiber]

Hoenn NC

[crisp oracle]

Boom

[uneven bone]

Gyatt dayum

[dark oar]

I'm back to 30k nonpaid, and up to 4.1k paid gems. I'm ready to w/e sync pair is coming for January.

[cinder topaz]

I got 8,375 Gems now!

[lilac crescent]

I can't wait to change my poma name.

[vestal leaf]

More than me

Thanks 2023

[lost bobcat]

Oh that's cool, was missing that

[sly breach]

Over 30k for the first time since 3.5 anni

[winged fossil]

Back to 60k yet again atm. Still got a thousand or so of unclaimed gems to gather up. Mostly pasio cs and stamina gated tho

[vernal glade]

19k to go to return to 4th pity.

[sweet tide]

Happy holidays! Im currently away so calcs will be delayed! 🫨

[tawny cedar]

||Let's goo fave got ny alt||

[vernal glade]

That’s fine, I’ll wait for the results.

[tawny cedar]

Hope we get atleast 20k this jan

[vernal glade]

Hope so too

February next for me to wait.

[rare swan]

all good tlim, ty for letting us know!

[grand bramble]

Looks like someone had won

[tardy fiber]

Update faves counter

[crisp oracle]

||No SC Diantha rerun||

For which all optimism dies: Andrew and SC Diantha

[gloomy holly]

Looks like January is a skip month for me thankfully

[tardy fiber]

Wait for spring probably as they keep doing SC on spring so maybe rerunning SC will also be that month

[vernal glade]

I gotta agree on that.

[grand bramble]

Ash is really gone fr

[crisp oracle]

im so pissed I just accidentally realized I leaked my real name

i'm too pissed to delete it

well have fun

[grand bramble]

We all saw that coming

[crisp oracle]

||I'm free to pull NC Rosa now||

||should I pull shiny new unit or rat and dog||

I have the gems...

[versed flame]

rip no Ash... oh well that's one unit less to chase ig

I'll survive without him

[untold tide]

Yep seems like I'm skipping January too

Coping that half anni has two or more faves

[crisp oracle]

TBH Ash had such a slim chance of rerunning and his soundtrack getting yeeted was the nail in the coffin

[versed flame]

||also happy that there's no gem competitors for NC rosa||

[untold tide]

Oh his soundtrack was straight up removed from the game?

[fallen path]

Ash, Jessie and James will never be rerun. Let’s get that out of the way once again

[grand bramble]

He's not coming back...0.1% chance he might

[crisp oracle]

BLISSFUL BONANZA IS BACK

FUCKING YES

[grand bramble]

Oh that back?

[untold tide]

Oh it's back?

[grand bramble]

so expecting a higher gems count this time??

[fallen path]

Next you’re going to say we have another legendary arena for 1000 gems again

[dark oar]

Best month if so

[crisp oracle]

I tell no lies

[fallen path]

[round mason]

blissful bonanza return

[broken mulch]

No temptation thankfully, safe to go to halfversary

[round mason]

i get to skip
again

[unkempt apex]

What's blissful bonanza?

I saw a few people complaining it was gone earlier this month

[tough oriole]

It’s an easy daily battle event that gives gems and lucky skill items

[unkempt apex]

How many gems?

[crisp oracle]

about 100ish a day iirc

and it lasts a week

[untold tide]

Also, the lucky scrolls!

The cookies!

[tawny cedar]

wow

blissful bonanza

[weary spire]

I missed all of Master’s Day Was there any other bigger bonus I missed today, as a result?

[lost bobcat]

New outfit and calem copy

And the usual good amount of gems

[tawny cedar]

did you claim the 3k christmas gems

[grim plover]

I'm in danger

[weary spire]

If I missed out due to not logging on during the 25th, then I missed them

If not, I can

I haven’t been on

[versed flame]

you can still get the 3k i believe

[weary spire]

Mhm

Tbh, not sure whether I did all of BV… might’ve, might not have

[sly breach]

Well this lasted all but 1 week

[round mason]

ah i forgot to get the poma day fit

🧍‍♂️

[tardy fiber]

How about the Calem dupe?

[dark oar]

THe Masters Day shop should still be around, but unless you didnt farm yesterday, ooof.

[cobalt frost]

WAIT

GUY

S

BLISSFUL BONANZA

RETURNS

WE WON

[upbeat lotus]

[cobalt frost]

im gonna take a guess, like 28k gems this month?

[tawny cedar]

nah too high

19.5k max

[cobalt frost]

just looking at absols list of login bonuses, i think my guess is okay

5k login for the first 3 days of new years

and blisfull bonanza

everything else is about the same

no legendary arena missions to my knowledge

but that should firmly place us in the high 20s

okay 8400 from login bonuses total + 1 of every single candy/cake coin

[winged fossil]

I forgot to clean out coop shop this month so I only got the dupe out of this months pomaday shop haha

Christmas was busy day

[tawny cedar]

I didn't get the dupe

It was a pup instead

They should at 6/6 move move level for flexing tbh

[cobalt frost]

wonder who the dupe this month will be

will it go back to rosa?

[tawny cedar]

Free James/Jessie/bugscy dupe in shop pls

[winged fossil]

If we had X/5 i am sure there’d be people with like 1000/5+

On some units

Like glacia

[tawny cedar]

I feel that's too far

Rn 200/5 feels like the max

[winged fossil]

You prob are underestimating whales

Cause remember there’s some that 5/5 everyone they release

[cobalt frost]

i think having a counter for that could be neat as long as gameplay isnt affected

[tawny cedar]

cyi wang

at 100/5 you get a golden plushie of that character for lodge

absolutly gamebreaking

[cobalt frost]

someones gonna 100/5 a character at launch if that happens i guarantee you

atleast one person

[radiant sapphire]

Hey

Can i talk about paid gems here or not

[tough oriole]

Yeah unless you’re suggesting to use paid gem multis or something

[radiant sapphire]

well

I dont know how to manage them for this month

[tough oriole]

Decision paralysis is a great way to not spend

[radiant sapphire]

I really pretty much like everyone and especially a certain rerun + the select scout

[upbeat lotus]

just a head up, if you want to ask about who to choose for selects, ask in #poma-questions instead

here we only help with managing resources that not related to meta questions

[radiant sapphire]

Yeah i know dont worry

[tough oriole]

Like if you wanted to discuss paid gem deal efficiency for example, this might be the place, but not necessarily suggestions on which specific banner to use them

[radiant sapphire]

oh

is there any place where i can ask for some help on where to spend them

Cause i have never been with that many paid gems and it's scary

[upbeat lotus]

for now, the best place to spend paid gems on is select banners

we are having 3 select banners coming up

we dont know much about them until they drop, so you should wait

[radiant sapphire]

They're stopping on the 1st ?

[upbeat lotus]

they start on 31st Dec/1st Jan and end on 30th/31st Jan depending on your timezone

[nocturne spade]

Imma have so many gems saved after next month

[sweet tide]

26k

[tough oriole]

That was quick lol

[sweet tide]

Just a rough calc but figures shld be around that number

[upbeat lotus]

thats good amount

[sweet tide]

Anw they removed mission gems from seasonal event reruns

And replaced it with scout tickets

What an a$$

[untold tide]

[upbeat lotus]

[tawny cedar]

bruh

thats going to be a big drop in gems

[sweet tide]

Nah

They brought back bonanza

Which is 1200

We lost 500 from the missions

So net gain 700

Would be 27k with the 500 gems tho i think lmao

[upbeat lotus]

its above gem average, so its a W

[sweet tide]

Jan is usually >30k tho so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[upbeat lotus]

*a W for me

[untold tide]

Maybe there's a social media rally

[drifting dagger]

24k is not final lol

[tardy fiber]

26k

I got 93860 gems currently...nice sailing for half anni

[winged fossil]

im patiently waiting for newyears before i plan out whatever i do in january, but it seems like pretty easy saving other than the selects. im prob going down atleast -5k paid this month from what we know of them.

but atleast my free gems should be safe

[weary spire]

I didn’t even log-in yesterday, so yeah. Neither exchange gifts, event stage rewards or login rewards

Tbf, I didn’t really sleep much at all, the past couple days. So I knocked out hard last night. Woke up 11AM, shut my eyes and no joke, apparently insta-knocked out again to see the time was 5:30pm (reset is 5pm)

I doubt even an alarm would’ve saved me, had I been conscious enough to set one

[broken mulch]

Hoping January is generous with the gems so I can hit pity again haha

If not, it’s fine, I’ll hit pity by February

[weary spire]

January usually gives out a fair bit; yeah. Considering that and the rest of this month, I’m sure you’ll be good.
And like you say, either way, you’ll be good for February!

[tardy fiber]

Rough estimation from Tlim is 26k gems

[cunning swan]

I'm disappointed Wallace's outfit looks shit, but also a bit relieved because that is a HUGE turnoff from pulling

[tawny cedar]

Will Clair stay till end of the month?

[crisp grotto]

I'm also being turned off from pulling him

[crisp grotto]

#1012256199128915968 No

[tawny cedar]

Hmm

There is a small chance I won't get her

Hopefully they shove all gems into the beginning of the month

Also why are people talking about Ash rerun

[untold tide]

On theme with Blacephalon

[tawny cedar]

When can we expect gem breakdowns?in 36-48 hrs?

[broken mulch]

I don’t even like Wallace and I still pity his costume lol

[orchid field]

How do i access the pins now after the new discord update?

[rare swan]

go to settings

[orchid field]

I meant pins in the resource saving support chat

With the gem calculations and all

[upbeat lotus]

The pins are under channel settings now

About the gem calc, its not done yet

[rare swan]

we don't have the calcs for this datamine if that's what you want

[upbeat lotus]

So please be patient

[orchid field]

I was looking for the pins from the past

[rare swan]

it's in guides and info

Historical Gem income

if that's what you mean

[orchid field]

Thanks for the help

[grim plover]

thank god i ||resisted to yolo rosa|| but now i think ill have to ||decide between Wallace and Grusha|| idk i can resist a third skip month

[sweet tide]

30 scout tickets for 500 gems

1 5* power up is worth 500 gems? lmao

[maiden kayak]

wdym

u mean they reduce 500 gems for scout tix?

[upbeat lotus]

Yes, the gem missions of NY 2023 event are replaced with scout tickets

[grand bramble]

26k gems... Very average count at the start of the new year

[vestal leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/marvel-movie-avengers-infinity-war-gif-18122928

• give bonanza
• take away theme mission gems

[crisp grotto]

[maiden kayak]

lmao

[grand bramble]

Is it bad... kinda

[broken mulch]

Here you go, something to pull with

[sweet tide]

the main chunk of the mission gems got replaced with 30 scout tickets for NY23 event rerun 😂

probably will continue into palentines23 rerun

[maiden kayak]

lololol

[grand bramble]

Wow... So unFAIR

[crude glacier]

What

I’m sorry but ehat

[sweet tide]

i cant believe they gave 1 5* power up in the log in bonus

this game is not real

[grand bramble]

I'm happy they bring back bonanza but now...

[sweet tide]

its 2024 come on

[crude glacier]

The amount of units that are coming this month are insane

[sweet tide]

this month is the standard 4 tho lol

its just the masterfair reruns that make it look awful

[crude glacier]

yeah I’ll have to scout for a master fair again…

The last two I summoned I pitied….

I hope red will treat me differently from those girls

[sweet tide]

them not rerunning sst red/ssa cynthia event and ebe means we lost almost 3k gems

🥱

[maiden kayak]

rip

[crude glacier]

Wdym?

[grand bramble]

what a huge lost

Probably

[crude glacier]

Ohhh

Well the amount of gems are still fine

They filled it in with something else ig

[sweet tide]

thats because

[crude glacier]

I expected a little bit more

[sweet tide]

they buffed the NY log in bonus

to 5k

[crude glacier]

man

[sweet tide]

everytime they buff something

they cut something

lmao

[maiden kayak]

but still net negative

lol

[grand bramble]

[crude glacier]

January I’m going to a place where you can’t even use WhatsApp

[broken mulch]

Dena giverth and Dena taketh

[crude glacier]

I don’t think I’ll be able to keep up with those bonuses

[sweet tide]

give u a chicken wing and ask for a whole coop of live chickens back

[maiden kayak]

tbh the day they start cutting gems , its already too late to save

i forgot when did it started

[sweet tide]

aug23

[grand bramble]

If you guyz wonder where have I been... I quit the game again LOL

[maiden kayak]

oh lol just before anni they cut gems

thats kinda recent

[sweet tide]

yeah they started the cut during 4th anni run up

and its just been a downwards trend from there lol

[grand bramble]

I started a new game on my birthday... So I completely abandoned Poma and all the gems I saved.... Gone

[sweet tide]

lmao

i feel like a robot with this game

[maiden kayak]

datamine is only the fun part lol

[grand bramble]

I don't think I will return anytime soon

I already addicted to the other game I really liked

[crude glacier]

What’s the name

Honkai?

[grand bramble]

HUH???

[crude glacier]

I saw quite a few people going to that game

[grand bramble]

How the HECK do you know??

[crude glacier]

knew it

[grand bramble]

Wow...

[crude glacier]

Which one is it?

Starfield or impact 3rd?

[grand bramble]

Star rail

[sweet tide]

lmao

[crude glacier]

yeah that

[grand bramble]

Very average indeed

[crude glacier]

Where did u see that?

For me it wasn’t out yet

[grand bramble]

You can find it on reddit

I saw it is 26k

[maiden kayak]

does this include ultimate?

[sweet tide]

yes ofc

[maiden kayak]

then -300

[sweet tide]

lmao

yeah i dont bother with that too

[maiden kayak]

ultimate isnt easy clear

[crude glacier]

I always like removing 1.5K from the total gem tally

To make it more realistic

[grand bramble]

It could be other reason but however.. It is a coincidence I played this game

[crisp grotto]

They're the one who makes the breakdown it'll be out once they're ready

[crude glacier]

Ohhh

Makes sense lmao

[grand bramble]

Of course it is obvious
They rerun SST red and ssa Cynthia but not Ash

[sweet tide]

did any spotlight get grid expansion

[crisp grotto]

Nop

[sweet tide]

.. -_-

[crude glacier]

Thank god

[crisp grotto]

SS Cynthia took the PoMa day one

[sweet tide]

what a snooze

[crude glacier]

I barely have enough for sst red

Can’t imagine ash as well

[grand bramble]

Does this mean... You dislike Ash??

[mossy hawk]

At least 3 pf expansions, soon over

[crude glacier]

Wouldn’t have enough to summon

[sweet tide]

did they ever rerun ash lol

[crude glacier]

Since I’d prioritize red first

[sweet tide]

or is he never rerunning

[crude glacier]

Nope

First rerun of sst red too

[grand bramble]

It's not goona happen

[sweet tide]

well i dont expect it to happen

looking at how they erased ash's assets lmfao

[grand bramble]

Adding this one is literally prove that they won't bring back Ash again

[crude glacier]

Kukui?

[unkempt vortex]

Idk what people were expecting

[crisp grotto]

That's already happened, we're talking about next month

[crude glacier]

Oh

[unkempt vortex]

Ash is never coming back because of licensing

[crude glacier]

Ssa Cynthia is going to rise probably

After cake and grid expansion

[broken mulch]

Wait what

[dark oar]

SS Cynthia isn't getting a cake.

[crude glacier]

she’s not imperative if you have Rosa though

[crude glacier]

Uh yes

[dark oar]

Only SSA Cynthia

[crude glacier]

SSA

[broken mulch]

SSAynthia also got a grid expansion?

[crude glacier]

That’s what I said

Read

[mossy hawk]

Masterfairs don't get grid expansions

[crude glacier]

What

[dark oar]

SSA Cynthia isn't getting Grid Expansion then.

[vestal leaf]

Ssac got cake

[grand bramble]

It's a good thing... Less investment to do

[crude glacier]

SSA Cynthia is getting rerun and cake

[unkempt vortex]

The best cake

[broken mulch]

SSynthia got the expansion

[crude glacier]

Ohhh

[broken mulch]

3/5 and 5/5 boosts

[crude glacier]

It’s the kommoo one

[vestal leaf]

SS Cynthia got pb and 5/5

[dark oar]

yes

[crude glacier]

Eh ain’t no one summoning on that triple banner anyways

[grand bramble]

They're already strong enough than the Pokefair grid expansion

[crude glacier]

Only mid units

[grand bramble]

Also... Is this the first time ss Leon rerun?

[unkempt vortex]

Yes

[grand bramble]

After like 2 or 3 years?

[unkempt vortex]

That’s the funny part

[vestal leaf]

Wouldn't say the best non MF zone setter is mid

But hey

[mossy hawk]

I am waiting for SS Brendan and SS Steven expansion, then I can rest

[unkempt vortex]

That’s the problem when you have so many limited units in your game

[vestal leaf]

Not paid yes

[grand bramble]

At this point... People are not interested on him anymore... Probably

[unkempt vortex]

The people that like him are

[crude glacier]

Sst red with electric zone after cake huh

That doesn’t seem broken at all

[unkempt vortex]

4 zone red

MORE TERRAIN

[ashen thunder]

Rerunning ssleon after NCnate and zerena role cake is so evil

[crisp grotto]

Y'all be careful when talking about the limited units, don't want to indirectly encourage pulling on them. This is gem zen after all

[crude glacier]

Yeah

No but saving is necessary

This month is loaded with units

But the only amazing ones are reruns

[unkempt vortex]

Not really

It’s the same as every month

[vestal leaf]

4 new units

• reruns

[crude glacier]

Meant to say catchy units

[vestal leaf]

As always

[grand bramble]

And no variety scout....

I hate that so much

[crude glacier]

why? Lmao

What I don’t like is not rally again

It’s been a while since we got one

[ashen thunder]

I think they mean old variety rerun

[grand bramble]

Because..... it's nothing interesting

[crude glacier]

Oh, so you are discouraged from pulling lol

[sweet tide]

oh wow

sprint and field coins this mth

are yummy

[crude glacier]

For me variety units are fine as long as we get a free ticket for one

[crude glacier]

They listened???

That’s cool

[ashen thunder]

tbf Jan and Feb both have always been bait for anni

[grand bramble]

Uhh.... yes

[ashen thunder]

half anni*

[grand bramble]

I already know who's gonna appear in the half year anniversary

[mossy hawk]

Will need field candies for ||NY Wallace||

[sweet tide]

they nerfed the other 3 for sprint and field SO

lmao

[ashen thunder]

I am legit surprised there's no OG kantrio 3/5 powerboost

coz last year we got lance and cynthia boost around this time

[unkempt vortex]

Wtf

[crude glacier]

What do you think will come?

[unkempt vortex]

They better have enough so I get my tech candy this month

[dark oar]

I too wish for og kantotrio pb. 😭

[vestal leaf]

We got 5/5 for now

[grand bramble]

The mystery stone story is still ongoing right.... So I can only think of that person

[ashen thunder]

I might skip aura cyn this month coz I need 7 support candies waiting and 1/5 units are starting to give me ocd

[sweet tide]

the end game for new story is very obvious anw lol

[ashen thunder]

This year we got so many good supports compared to usual

[sweet tide]

would be cool if they found a way to connect it to paldea and tera shenanigans

oh i think we can form a sprint and field candy

by the end of jan

if u got extra coins from pulls then even better

[grand bramble]

Iono as pokefair is expected... But grusha???? What?

[sweet tide]

dont expect the gym leaders from paldea to be spotlights lol

[ashen thunder]

I actually got sprint candy today

tho it's coz I've been rolling MF banners

[sweet tide]

yeah if u didnt get any from banners

i think the count now is

17 sprint 14 field

[ashen thunder]

wow

4/5 Paulo

[crude glacier]

wdym

[crude glacier]

ah

[sweet tide]

strike tech support coins got nerfed

to buff sprint and field coins

[ashen thunder]

oh yea

rosa event

[sweet tide]

9-8-11-6-6-4 is the count for v2.40

[ashen thunder]

Only give 1 coin from mission

so coin count already reducing from events

[grand bramble]

Not good

[crude glacier]

ah, thats a bummer

[ashen thunder]

11 support coin actually not bad

[vestal leaf]

We used to get 12 circa

Now it's 10-11

[sweet tide]

cos 5 wks of cs ya lol

[vestal leaf]

But we get 2 more roles

[maiden kayak]

why are yall talking about likited units in gem zen

[sweet tide]

which are jsut extensions of tech roles snorts

[maiden kayak]

wait so strike support tech sprint field?

[sweet tide]

yes

4 is move candy coin

[maiden kayak]

ohh

[sweet tide]

overall its actually alot of coins

[maiden kayak]

it seems like 50% more coins than before

[sweet tide]

NY24 gives like 4 coins lol

[grand bramble]

I'm suprised... They should be spotlight at least so people can skip alot

[maiden kayak]

no way in hell

they are popular

[oak crest]

They have to give Paldea spotlights eventually

[maiden kayak]

i doubt

[grand bramble]

Grusha too? I don't see it lol.
Anyways

[maiden kayak]

i doubt they even give pool tix

[oak crest]

unless they are not doing EBE for Paldea theme

[grand bramble]

Yeah.. They should

[vestal leaf]

He's one of the most popular ones

[sweet tide]

elite 4

[vestal leaf]

Nah

[unkempt vortex]

Watch paldea get no spotlight

[vestal leaf]

Rika being spotlight would be really weird

[sweet tide]

the paldea GLs are quite popular and looking at the trajectory of this game they are gonna end up being pokefairs lol

[oak crest]

then they will have to wait very long before giving Paldea an EBE then

[vestal leaf]

I don't think brassius, Kathy, Kofu and Rhyme are gonna be anything but spotlights

[unkempt vortex]

That doesn’t mean they won’t make one

[sweet tide]

they'll throw u a masterfair and call it a day

[oak crest]

lol

[maiden kayak]

heck even argenta gets pokefair

[oak crest]

i cant have the MF pair tanking and trying to deal damage

[maiden kayak]

so

[ashen thunder]

All I want is a free regional legendary
Preferably the box art one

[oak crest]

its not going to work

☠️

[maiden kayak]

i doubt we will have paldea pool

[unkempt vortex]

And literally no one knows who argenta is

[maiden kayak]

exactly

[sweet tide]

i can already see iono being seasonal in 2024 lmfao

[oak crest]

and they cant really "feature" the MF unit strengths if you cant win with the featured unit they want u to use since u have to use it to tank & deal dmg

[maiden kayak]

yea man

[sweet tide]

their ebes nowadays are quite whack anw

they rly dgaf anymore lol

[ashen thunder]

Bertha is the real master fair
Look at all the ebe and (soon) UB gimmicks she countered for F2Ps so far

[vestal leaf]

Most egregious fucked up ebe was Anni anyway
