Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[unkempt vortex]

I haven’t played in like 3 or 4 years

[tardy fiber]

Fast meta change + pvp, recipe to burn your pockets

[unkempt vortex]

My issue wasn’t that because I ignored it but they kept making up items to upgrade characters

[tardy fiber]

How many new units per month for feh?

[unkempt vortex]

Some of which you could only get through the subscription

It’s like 3-4 units per banner

[tardy fiber]

Thats predatory right there

[unkempt vortex]

And like 1 banner every 2 weeks

Sometimes there’s a legendary hero where it’s 1 new unit and 11 fillers

[tardy fiber]

Paywalled mats

[unkempt vortex]

It gets better

Have you seen the summoning system?

[tardy fiber]

Not yet

[unkempt vortex]

Characters are assigned one of four colors- red, green, blue and gray/colorless

You spend orbs to start a summon session and 5 orbs are randomly generated

You’re forced to do pick at least one before you end the session and if you don’t get the color orb you want for someone you’re after too bad

[tardy fiber]

Thats sounds like it can drive people away, why people still playing it?

Is it full of waifus or something

[unkempt vortex]

It’s fe

Literal waifu and husbando sim

[tardy fiber]

Or they are just too deep in it to escape

[unkempt vortex]

FE prints money just by existing with its name on it same way Pokemon does

[tardy fiber]

Like my old friends playing ragnarok eternal love, they are in too deep with spending plenty of cash to make their characters strong as heck and afraid to leave wasting their all prior spendings

[unkempt vortex]

The only thing I will give it is that units can inherit skills from others so if you have a fav you can just give them the skills you want as long as it’s something they can inherit

[crisp oracle]

In FIFA Mobile they put out like almost 60 new cards (player variants) a month

[unkempt vortex]

Unlike this where the grids make or break units most of the time

[tardy fiber]

Oh talking about brands that print money, persona 5 gacha game will appear later there's even trailer now...i will try to play it

All in all, its nice to have other gacha games to relieve pulling itch...plus poma is kinda dry between contents especially when its a rerun event period

[robust plaza]

I play Shin Megami Tensei Liberation Dx2 and it has pvp and best % pull rate for a banner demon is 0.500%. I’m a top 100 player in pvp

Pmex is my casual game

[sturdy flower]

i play pmex because the draw rate is good and it doesn't ask for ungodly amount of time

[tardy fiber]

Yep i like that poma doesn't need much time, thus i can play other games during content drought yet not miss to do dailies and got those gems

Also giving 2/3 pity amount of gems monthly is great thus f2p can really survive well here

Not to mention, nice freely accessible sync pair with legendary adventures, bp pairs, story pairs and such

Getting 1 regional scout ticket pull for every permanent VA content clear is also great, that plus legendary adventures pair and you are set to clear daily region battle

Oh except alola because solgaleo aint alola, just slot in hau

[junior trout]

I still think the solgaleo power boost should've been the mc giving it to hau so it could actually have the alola theme skill

He deserves it

Or just give us a pasio theme skill already

[tardy fiber]

I hope for this, it will pave way for more pasio original characters to be made

[lilac crescent]

Pasio Theme Skill will surely be interesting.

[tardy fiber]

Might be an unpopular opinion, i would rather see a bunch of pasio original characters getting Legendaries than just a bunch of MC alts getting it

[dark oar]

Same

[lilac crescent]

Imagine Tina getting one.

[tardy fiber]

Tina and Paulo getting azelf and uxie

[lilac crescent]

Mespirit is Emotion
Uxie is Knowledge
Azelf is Willpower...

OH! I see how that would work!

[tardy fiber]

Also SsLear hoopa unbound

Enough for an event

[lilac crescent]

Yea.

I just realized that would make the trio!

Player & Mespirit (Darn, no SS or EX)
Paulo & Uxie
Tina & Azelf

[tardy fiber]

Hope they will give BP Master pairs EX this year especially because we will get the last of the chatelaines so an EX power boost is nice

Also normal teamwork MC with Type Null and poison teamwork MC munkidori please

[topaz compass]

Surely they will, though we assumed the same at 4th and they had thr nerve to give it to all but the master BPs

By delaying the master ones to 5th anni though it allows them to do less other free things on 5th

[tardy fiber]

I do hope there's good 4* bp pairs as well, galar pairs hopefully to make that region more accessible

[upbeat lotus]

They are waiting for Morgan's addition to unlock EX for all 5* BP

Let me cope

[dark oar]

we're all coping for Chatelaine ex 😭

[hard wave]

thats what im thinking too ill consider dana for my ice team but also NC Red KOs first sync anyway

[tough oriole]

I’m waiting for Morgan’s addition so I can get the anniversary associate role

Watch them just skip Morgan’s addition and give it to Dahlia or Tucker

[lilac crescent]

Who's Morgan again?

[dark oar]

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Morgan

[hard wave]

She’s the last chatelaine

[upbeat lotus]

The oldest sister of the four chatelaine

[lilac crescent]

Oh.

Never heard of her.

[tough oriole]

She’ll probably have a Verizon

[unkempt vortex]

wireless?

[tough oriole]

Idt it has roots, so yes?

[dark oar]

she sports a Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion and Latias

i too hope for Virizion though

[tough oriole]

Oh i guess she could get a terrakion then

[dark oar]

inb4 she gets Terrakion ;o

[tough oriole]

But the last 2 chateleines have brought Pokémon that weren’t previously in PoMa (Evelyn has no options), so here’s hoping

[upbeat lotus]

*coping

[dark oar]

MC will probably grab a legendary beast. Raikou probably (before Anabel because sheningans)

[tardy fiber]

Normal teamwork Type Null MC

[tough oriole]

Could also get a birb but idk if they want to tread on the NCs
Glastrier is also a possibility

[tardy fiber]

Inb4 Morgan Latias dragon teamwork

[dark oar]

Free Support Dragon? yes pls.

[tough oriole]

With MC Latios as the other one

[hard wave]

We already have rock and fighting team work tho so

[tardy fiber]

But i do hope for grass teamwork Virizion, even better if its special attack support or fully defensive like evelyn, i want to pair with scRosa

Physical grass support department is already done with ssacerola

[upbeat lotus]

special Virizion sounds like cringe but DeNA already introduced special Sandslash and physical Tapu Lele

[tardy fiber]

I still need more grass faves, but at least release them bit by bit so that i can get some breathing room in between

Zarude sounds like a support with the jungle healing sig move

[tough oriole]

I can see it being a tech or field with Jungle Healing as its supporty move

[tardy fiber]

I dont mind for more techs, i will have 4 unused tech candies after this month ends

[lilac crescent]

Hey. Atleast four's better than nothing.

[tardy fiber]

Plenty of my recent faves either being strikes or supports

[lunar thistle]

Ok so I miscalculated thank goodness

I'll have much more than 5000 gems ending this month

It's more like slightly above 10k

So I'll actually be able to have a pity by Feb!

[tardy fiber]

You cannot spend anything on February so that you can have pity for half anni

[lunar thistle]

I mean doesn't it depend on when the gems come

[tardy fiber]

Well you have slightly over 10k at the end of January, so will need 26.6k gems for pity and our monthly gems are usually like that anyway and February only has 28 days so probably around that amount as well so you probably cannot pull anything if want to have pity for half anni

[round nacelle]

37.1k as of rn

[tawny cedar]

Fave list for main and alt done

I'm happy I have only 3 reruns left on main and a little worried about the Pokemon

My alt is on fire with 30 reruns to acquire

[tardy fiber]

Woohoo both rallies are done

I can stop doing iono co-op

[oak crest]

meanwhile I only bothered to do the daily stage for that

[sturdy hatch]

Gotta do the second stage one time for the rewards

[oak crest]

yup

only did once

and only been doing the daily reset stage

[broken mulch]

Meanwhile I did 100 coop battles LMAO

[dark oar]

Maybe ill do more so we get more rewarding coop events

[compact pasture]

Has the gem count been boosted by the rallies?

[upbeat lotus]

Yes

[compact pasture]

What’s the new total?

[crisp grotto]

29300

[vernal glade]

Nearly 30k, nice.

[crisp oracle]

Everytime I think of saving in this game, be thankful this game isn’t run by EA.

[topaz compass]

Dana is definitely top priority for duplicate tickets unless 5th anni BP masters blow it away

[compact pasture]

Why Dana?

[lost bobcat]

Idk she feel not worthly any candy (or ticket dupe) for now
Her 3/5 change little or nothing, or at least other BP 5* have bigger changes by move lvl

[topaz compass]

I disagree. She gets mpr for everything and has the best moves for that

None of the BP masters have amazing grids

[lost bobcat]

Every unit gets mprs
She already do her work at base and usually with SEnext into account you end your match quickly

She's already good that's why imo it's def not needed

[upbeat lotus]

askually she doesnt have TM MPR

anyway, we should continue the discussion in #916852389347196958

[topaz compass]

The heal one doesn't but the other 2 do

[lean mango]

Gem count, a neat amount and more if I have the motivation to do BV rn

[topaz compass]

Nice job saving! I'm at about 93k and feeling good for 4.5 MFs

[tardy fiber]

Im at 92k, hope next month is a skip

Kinda worry about palentine, if there's a fave in it, their banner duration usually ends up in 2/3 weeks so maybe it can be gone before datamine ...and the rerun banner for seasonals are horrible

[grim plover]

me at 40k

and that means i have 3.4k gems

im fine as long as i get 2 pities for 4.5 anni

[lilac crescent]

Wait, when was is the 4.5 Anniversary again?

[hard wave]

+anni

[jade lava]

Poma's 4.5 Year Anniversary events happen <t:1709100000:R>, <t:1709100000:f>
Poma's 5th Anniversary events start <t:1724824800:R>, <t:1724824800>

[broken mulch]

Still at 30k

Hoping for skips

A lot of skips

[lilac crescent]

Oh naw. I'm not prepared.

[dark oar]

Most banners, especially master fairs, will usually be around for a month

so you can save gems for any favourites that might pop up.

[lilac crescent]

Currently.

[dark oar]

assuming we get liek 27k for February, i think you've got a pity before they announce the 4.5 units.

[lilac crescent]

like*

[dark oar]

Otherwise, just keep saving 🙂

[grim plover]

Add the march gems and there's like pity and a half

But palentine is soon and it usually has highly popular characters

[lilac crescent]

I don't really see any interest in the palentine sync pairs

Wait, what's Palentine?

[dark oar]

Seasonal basically

[feral vale]

It’s usually around Valentine’s Day, all female seasonals.

[lilac crescent]

Nice.

[zenith eagle]

Guys are the Iono rally gems included in the monthly tally (29k)?

[upbeat lotus]

Yes, included

[tardy fiber]

When will we get the rally gems?

[rare swan]

21st iirc

[tardy fiber]

Oh nice so the daily gems that day will be big

This week has plenty events

I need to login regularly to avoid wasting stamina

[upbeat lotus]

22nd, to be exact. Same day as Grusha event

[tardy fiber]

Cannot wait to get Grusha event rainbow feather

[winged fossil]

Is the month just frontloaded or did I miscount my gems this month. Thought I’d be barely exiting with pity but I feel like I have more than I should for not touching the iono event just yet

Only part of iono event I’ve done is like a couple days of the coop

Even considering the fact I ended up with a multi extra from the giveaway raffle thing I feel like I’m more ahead than I should be for a couple weeks in

[tardy fiber]

I think we are kinda backloaded as well, got sinnoh VA this reset, sinnoh va 2 in thursday, grusha + iono rally gems on next monday, and then elesa solo event and poma day too

[rare swan]

Yup

Still plenty of gems to come

[tardy fiber]

Hoping for more rainbow feathers, i like when their typings start to intersect

[lost bobcat]

Try locking some good skill as third before using the feather
If we're good we should be able to get a free ever pin next month (so far one every 2 months)

[tardy fiber]

Nah i just gonna keep the skill for nostalgia reasons, if i use other feather and change the skill, it will be tainted

Thats why i give it the featured pair names

From which event i got it

[lost bobcat]

You can also keep as items
Which are cool to see eventually

I'm also keeping one of each guaranteed lg cookies

[lilac crescent]

I'm just waiting for the Electric, Main Character feather.

[tardy fiber]

Oh i gonna use it, but when the event reruns, i will use it on other parts, thats why its name is like nyclair A, A for bracelet, B for Bandanna, C for Pin...if the event reruns, i will use nyclair feather on bandanna or pin

[lost bobcat]

I kinda doubt they'll rerun feathers

Beside, you'll fill your gears only with low optimized stuff that way
I'm already running out of gears to reroll feather on

[tardy fiber]

True, but i hate to delve in RNG stuffs and i like that each feather has stuffs that boost the featured event pair so its kinda give nostalgic vibes.

Kinda why i like to save for pities as well as yolo rng is kinda bad

I will start to do feather rng if they allow me to lock most of the stats using ever pins...so although the gear will be slow to complete but it can be completed with all the stats and skills i want even though it takes months or a year for 1 part

[lost bobcat]

Uh idk if it's a good comparsion but just be aware that the guaranteed ones are good only if optimized.
Rerolling a +80 offensive gear is def not that hard
And that extra +20 means +3-4% on moves sync and maxmoves without any situational condition

As long as you have stamina ofc, feather farming can be quite expensive if you still need lvl up mats or bronze tickets

And can lead to salty sometimes #salt-channel message

[dark oar]

i've got about 1,8k of the mysterious stones and 1k of the yellow feathers atm

[lost bobcat]

That's nice
From my experience you usually get a really good one in 100-150 rolls
I pulled out some insane ones just by rolling (no ever pin used)

Get random sets, then complete those with pin+ rainbow feather
By using rainbow feather early it's risky since you can reroll a better gear that will take its place

[tardy fiber]

Thats a lot of stones my stocks are already dwindling since the shop exists...plus now i got surpluses of theme skill orbs, probably not gonna farm for them anymore thus no extra mysterious stones

[topaz compass]

If you want a seasonal you either pull it at release or do a paid select. Yeah

All this Skill Gear talk and I have literally never tried to do it, abs get very confused about the best order to do stuff for best effect

[tardy fiber]

I only use the rainbow feather gears

Its great for me because no rng involved

[lost bobcat]

Ye but you get a 2% better gear and lock away possibilities of improve
They can boost easiliy by 10% or more without using ever pins

[lost bobcat]

Early on don't touch rainbow feathers or ever pin
Just rerolling good stats is more than enough

Btw I'm building a sheet that allows to quickly compare skill gears
So far was useful to check which gears to keep and those to reroll
Sharing once it's tested and polished

[topaz compass]

@lost bobcat I'd greatly appreciate any instruction file with max ranges and possibilities haha

[feral vale]

Can I crunch the gems

[dark oar]

😮

[lilac crescent]

That's an threat to ruin a life saving.

Let me join you.

[feral vale]

[crisp oracle]

How many gems are you in need of today

[feral vale]

I will take 200 gems please :)

[crisp oracle]

170,815-200

done

[topaz compass]

I'm happy with my gem count

I think I'm at like 94k free gems

[feral vale]

https://tenor.com/view/burger-eating-frieren-frieren-beyond-journey's-end-sousou-no-frieren-gif-13425073513713719938

[crisp oracle]

Enjoy

[topaz compass]

@feral vale Frieren os quickly becoming one of my all time favorite animes

[feral vale]

[winged fossil]

does the anime this is from have a dub or is it sub-only? i know a bit offtopic but i need to know lol

[dark oar]

Frieren? Ive heard they had dub.

[feral vale]

So far, I only know of sub. Dubs of other languages usually take a while to come out after sub anyway.

[topaz compass]

I watched the first dozen episodes with subs. Then I convinced my wife to try it, was going to try english dub with her but the voice was too strong sounding for Frieren so I switched us back to sub

Crunchyroll did start the English dub, not sure how far along it is

[feral vale]

Huh interesting

[broken mulch]

Netflix only has subs fwiw

[summer goblet]

This months had no faves so I am going to skip until my favs shows up. Hopefully

[crisp oracle]

Holy scheiße

[crisp oracle]

Wait are you Necrondal

[summer goblet]

Who is that?

Is he/she a saver too?

[crisp oracle]

Oh he was someone I knew with a crap ton of gems

Maybe i'm confused

[summer goblet]

Interesting

[dark oar]

nice 424 😮

[summer goblet]

Thank you

It be nice to get to know some fellow gem savers with the shared goal to get some favs

[rare swan]

Now that is a BALANCE

[summer goblet]

Thank You

[crisp oracle]

Saving is fun

[tough oriole]

Friendly reminder to everyone to do 37 battles for the dreams of the void (VA1) event so you don’t miss out on 100 gems

[pure arrow]

Why 37 specifically?

[exotic sparrow]

13 more days for the daily battles, 37+13 = 50 for the final mission

[hasty umbra]

who the heck relies only on dailies? get that done asap

[tough oriole]

It’s a less efficient use of stamina to tickets

[broken mulch]

Why would I only dailies to clear the missions

The hell am I gonna use stamina on, feathers? Hell no

[tough oriole]

Other events

I’m doing dailies to complete the mission for P1 and the most of my stamina for P2

[hard wave]

you guys dont save stamina?

[broken mulch]

I mean

I already cleared out the shop of P1 by Day 2 lol

[rare swan]

You usually have enough stamina to complete all events I would not depend on dailies to make sure you get those gems

But if it works for you, sure

[storm canyon]

what are the chances that this year's half-anni will overpower sst red?

[rare swan]

I'd put my money on anni, myself

Half will be banger but idk if it'll creep SSTR

[hasty umbra]

that's some silly and unnecessary minmaxing, the heck?

[storm canyon]

are we talking about non daily stamina?

like the +200 stamina

[oak crest]

i dont

i save gems but i dont see the point of saving stam

[rare swan]

Me neither

It is there to be used

And it comes back pretty darn quick

[oak crest]

the most it will nett u is just maybe 1 extra 3* PU anyway

and just faster completion of event missions

which doesnt really does much for me

[tough oriole]

More resources at no extra cost and little inconvenience, why not?

[hasty umbra]

I can understand maybe a newbie wanting to do that, but for a veteran is gotta be as useless as it gets

[rare swan]

I personally wouldn't want to risk missing the gems

[oak crest]

^

[rare swan]

I get all those achievements completed ASAP

Gotta get those gemmies

[hasty umbra]

heck, I don't even feel like farming 3* PUs these days because I simply have little use to them, and I do the PU exchanges every month

tbf I don't care about Gauntlet so I don't upgrade eggmons frequently but still

[feral vale]

Same

[oak crest]

i only really upgrade those that i find useful

(mainly those that can boost speed for the entire team)

heck i dont even bother about boosting 3* story units for some

[hasty umbra]

I upgraded them one time out of boredom lol

so legit I have no one to use them other than eggs

[rare swan]

Honestly most eggmons are fine at 3*

Making them 4* ain't doing much for their survivability

[hard wave]

I make a list of what I want from the shops I only get everything from shops during VAs because I do the dailies for the ticket

[prime quarry]

I make sure to do as much as I can to get all the items from the shops

But I do the same thing Winston does of trying to maximize value from the dailies when I remember to do them

[rare swan]

I never do them

Hehe

[prime quarry]

What do you spend energy on?

[rare swan]

🪶

In all seriousness I've found at my level I don't need to do the dailies to get everything I want from the shop

(And I'm lazy )

[prime quarry]

That explains it Arch has gotten to ya

[oak crest]

for me i forgot to clear my stamina on time sometimes

[prime quarry]

I like having big numbers, so I buy all the things

[oak crest]

[prime quarry]

Same

Too busy irl

[tardy fiber]

I just did all of the missions as soon as i can, usually only need 2 days of stamina

[hard wave]

I get any candy coins (and 3/4 star candies), skill gear + special feathers, 4/5 star powerups, scout tickets, skill spheres, codexes, and ++ drinks and skip the rest

Takes me like 2-4 days I think, seasonal events take longer tho only have 3 seasonals

[tardy fiber]

I grab everything that has an exchange limit...except the gym leader notes

[lilac crescent]

Daily tickets = 🍰 🪙

🍰 🪙 = 🍰

🍰 = Role

Win win!

[topaz compass]

@summer goblet I feel like I should have seem you in here before if you joined in 2022

2021

[prime quarry]

Thanks for the reminder btw, it just got me to do the Battle Challenge for the NY rerun

[feral vale]

Chezei theme

[prime quarry]

My influence spreads far

[lilac crescent]

I see.

[lost bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/puppet-awkward-looking-what-side-eye-gif-15476992

I plan everything based on dailies, then the last few days I drop everything on either the 10 or 20 depending on items in the shop

Or even drop those early to get Items I want fast

But the yes, the remaining stamina is all for feathers

Except during good VA, to keep the bronzies up

[crisp grotto]

[crisp oracle]

saving is fun

[pure arrow]

tbh the past few weeks I’ve not been optimizing stamina at all since I’m not playing nearly as much (sometimes skipping the daily quests)

if I’m already too lazy to do the Daily Region Rotation then why would I “waste” my time on the daily 30-stamina stages?

[oak crest]

true if you really cant afford the time for it

at least u still can get gems from dailies

just really losing out on a number of event tokens at worst

[tardy fiber]

96k gems currently, i can reach 100k gems before datamine thanks to Iono rally

[wind nymph]

Im worried that I'll give in to my gambling urges and try to go for the triple feature banner

Fortunately SSTR only took me 6 multis

[lost bobcat]

You're free to give the game just 1 min to claim daily login and dump stamina
There's no waste as long as you are fine with it

For me this is the only game I have so having 2-3 daily stages when there's no LG it's fine
Plus the VA gives you tickets

Some don't even bother to get the free gems from the shop, it's their choice but still 16k on a year balance

[tardy fiber]

I didnt miss getting the 20 gems from the shop daily, because if i forgot the daily gems amount wont be nice...as 100 gems looks nicer than 80

[lean mango]

Please spoiler any pull result of any running banner

[lilac crescent]

True!

[topaz compass]

I feel like I forgot the 20 gems once this week

Which upsets me. But I know it doesn't really make a difference

[summer goblet]

The most important lesson is to be kind to yourself when you make mistakes but keep pushing to improve yourself when gem saving

Saving is a lifelong journey that will never stop

[feral vale]

[dark oar]

Every gem counts tbh o.o sometimes a small amount can make or break pitying a banner.

[topaz compass]

Well I'm a pretty good saver so it really shouldn't ever come into play

[rare swan]

I always forget them, dw

[lilac crescent]

Gem saving. Am I right?

[summer goblet]

if there is one thing i am super elite at

its gem saving

cause everything else in this game, i am either average or pretty terrible in this game

and the one thing i can flex at other people if they love to put me down in this community

[topaz compass]

I mean saving a bunch of gems is a good excuse when you don't have a unit

Like "oh my 200k saved is why I have no units" even though that 200k is just like 6 more MF lol

[tardy fiber]

True kinda why i didn't feel jealous seeing other people's gems because i know i have a bunch of faves, people cannot expect to save a lot if they keep pulling... although fortunately I'm lucky this month as i can exceed 100k gems

[winged fossil]

||someone talk me out of the dragon banner please, I’m tempted to simp on Dialga but I am scared of if anni is like bike duo or something||

[dark oar]

Cyrus is your best Dragon Nuker. 🙂

You dont need anyone else

Palkia wants to be the best :>

[winged fossil]

I know I don’t need more when I have Zygarde…

[dark oar]

oh you've got Zerena? then even more 😄

[winged fossil]

I guess I’ll just put him on the back burner for the billionth time since the other two units in the banner don’t interest me much for the billionth time lmao

||Please Lucas stop being with units I either don’t care about or don’t want more dupes of||

||Or do, it helps me have an excuse to skip you.||

[crisp grotto]

You'll probably end up getting ||SS Cynthia||, she's straight up horrible without move levels

[rare swan]

That is exactly what will happen 😔

[dark oar]

Gacha Desire Sensors are extremely bad. 😦

in other news, i'm at to 18k now and 6k paid gems o/

[tardy fiber]

Hurm seeing there's still event on 27th Saturday... datamine is probably on next Monday after that, urgh thats still quite long

Hope that February is a skip and i can continue to save for half anni

[vestal leaf]

It's not uncommon for datamined to drop before all previous datamine events are out tbh

[tardy fiber]

Really? But 26th Friday feels kinda early, oh where is the previous datamine dates? I forgot where it is located

[upbeat lotus]

+datamine

[jade lava]

Datamine usually happens at the end of each month between the 25th and 29th (PDT)
Check #datamines for raw dumps and #1012256199128915968 for recap and schedules.
Here is a history of previous datamine dates : https://tinyurl.com/pmexdataminehistory

[upbeat lotus]

^

[vestal leaf]

Yeah it's not too uncommon

[tardy fiber]

Thanks Gakon

Ok all previous dates are 26 or 27 for February datamine

Hopefully it's Friday

The earlier the better

Friday is 26th

[sturdy flower]

brace for cute palentine art

[tardy fiber]

Oh i fell to the palentine art once, 2 years back...now im strong to ignore it if its not fave

[hard wave]

Its either the 26th or the 29th, hopefully the former

[lilac crescent]

What do you guys think will be in the datamine?

[vestal leaf]

Palentines + probably a fair and either another fair or a spotlight

[tawny cedar]

I feel like adding proton and Archer to me reruns list cuz after replaying hgss I liked them more but that would become too many reruns

Should I put it in my alt fave list instead

[upbeat lotus]

Adding them to rerun list means you REALLY like them. And also means more pities to secure them

If they are not that high in your favorite list, do you have any ways to enjoy them without pulling?

[crisp oracle]

My experience of playing FIFA Mobile as a way to save in PoMa:

What if…

• every year PoMa hard reset (gem count, roster, coins, resources, etc)
• the powercreep was steeper
• you could buy units with coins

Verdict: it’s helped me save here lmao but I’m thankful now PoMa isn’t run by EA

[hasty umbra]

they reset your pulling currency every year? what the heck

[fallen path]

Tbf I play swgoh that’s basically EA and our currencies don’t reset..although that’s a long term farm game

[hasty umbra]

man, I dropped that game years ago, I'm surprised it's still going

[fallen path]

It’s pretty fun tbh, pretty chill. I wish we could auto the daily battles here

I actually hate the daily battles now because it’s so repetitive lol

[lilac crescent]

Which daily battles specifically?

[topaz compass]

Most likely days in order I think are 26th, 29th, 30th, 25th

Each one much more likely than the following

[hard wave]

First 30th datamine

[topaz compass]

I mean 30th can happen if a month has 31

[hard wave]

Ig, would be quite late tho since the first pal pair is the 31st and I think the latest is usually 2 days before?

[tawny cedar]

Not really

They only appear for a medium segment of hgss

Then never again

[crisp oracle]

They also reset your playing roster every year

[hasty umbra]

so basically an EoS simulator lol

[crisp oracle]

Well it’s soccer so it’s never going to EoS lmao

The game’s been getting worse but they keep the whales on like a drug

[tardy fiber]

Kinda worry about the other February pairs as well that are not palentine, because it will be run up to half anni and some run up pairs are kinda tempting, iirc sssteven, lear, ssleon are all run up pairs well ssleon banner does extends to anni as well

[summer goblet]

if you have sync pairs

do indeed try to save gems for new pairs

you can always get copies through candy

[lilac crescent]

Feb's probably gonna be a easy skip for me. If they don't roll out any units I'd probably want during the 4.5 anniversary.

[grim plover]

SS Steven Rerun & Hoen NC anni

[tardy fiber]

I dont mind, but i also hope it will only be 2 pairs NC like Unova and Kalos

3 pairs will make me broke

[summer goblet]

its going to be 3

the pattern is clear

though you can always do the tough pill game and skip 1 or 2 favs

[lost bobcat]

As much as I hate breaking duos/trios I may have to next time

[tardy fiber]

But who else can be third pair for hoenn NC...nc steven?

Oh wally

I forgot his existence

[lost bobcat]

Ye

[tardy fiber]

Im willing to break duos or trios if some of them arent faves..like i skipped nate

Skipped both frogs

Maybe it will be 2 primals plus 1 normal pokemon but not sure as paldea stuffs is in the horizon, i can see nc brendan shiny primal groudon, nc may shiny primal kyogre while nc wally gets iron valiant

[lost bobcat]

So far NC have are themed MCs or Rivals, I think just a duo is possible for this summer or mid winter

For hoenn

[tardy fiber]

Right there's only left Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Alola...maybe they will release region that can make trio easier for half anni NC while duo will be released on non anni months

Kanto combine both MC and Rival for NC

[grim plover]

nc duo lillie gladion or selene elio

[tardy fiber]

4 more regions to go through, i need to see if any of my faves are still unreleased although i can see sinnoh NC being dangerous especially now that hisui = sinnoh so i need to consider hisui legendaries as well

Alola still has magearna, melmetal, zeraora unreleased

[upbeat lotus]

Then dont bother adding them to your list

[topaz compass]

There is nothing forcing them to do all 9 NC regions

I work under assumption they get bored of that storyline before they do every region

[grim plover]

The won't get bored of MFs that's for sure. NC it's just a different name for MF

[rare swan]

If you're a fan of a protag or rival from a region that hasn't got them yet, it's worth keeping a pity saved/have a goal to save one

just in case

[grim plover]

That's me. I gotta save for Brendan, wally, Ethan, gladion and rei

[rare swan]

oof that's quite a list, good luck!!

[topaz compass]

My faves are mostly pokemon, and most are already in even if not as meta as I'd prefer

It's almost a shame that you can't just buy kits for a trainer and choose the pokemon to attach it to

[rare swan]

It's just that the game is about the trainers, not the pokemon

[topaz compass]

More reason to make the kits not linked to a specific pokemon

But that doesn't make sense story wise

One of my few trainer faves is Karen. I feel she could maybe get 1 more gacha alt before EoS. I think people dislike her literally because of her name

[rare swan]

I think a Karen alt would sell, she's pretty iconic

her "faves > meta" line made her the most memorable member of the Johto E4 and she's pretty af

Karen alt....

[topaz compass]

More like most memorable of any E4 outside kanto

[rare swan]

I'm personally hoping she gets a Fall alt, she doesn't suit Pals or Summer at all

give us classic Karen in the black minidress and I will WHALE

[topaz compass]

For me anyway, but mostly because the line and Houndoom being in running for my all time fave pokemon (houndoom and scyther)

[prime quarry]

They're gonna break the bank for Tai by having Fall Karen and Cynthia

[dark oar]

Flannery alt too o/ as well as Lorelei o/

[topaz compass]

I would love her to get a Gothic-ish Fall outfit

[rare swan]

[topaz compass]

Yes Flannery is way overdue for an alt

[rare swan]

ATTACK MY GEMS DENAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[prime quarry]

Flannery alt plz

[prime quarry]

Palentine's Lysandre and Sycamore maybe?

[rare swan]

unfortunately they'll probably move away from Hoenn for a bit now

how did she get shafted in HOENN YEAR

[prime quarry]

At least we finally got the damn Fall outfit for Phoebe that we have been begging for

[rare swan]

they're running out of marketable ghost users so they might move to Dark specialists for the fall alts this year

(as much as I'd whale for an Agatha alt, I am not delusional)

[prime quarry]

Or just give a Ghost type to a Psychic user again

Ngl Fall Cynthia with Spiritomp would be pretty sick

[rare swan]

yeah that would slap

unfortunately she's already got a Spooky Alt

[prime quarry]

More spooks are always good

[rare swan]

Fall Fantina with her hair down

[prime quarry]

That would be killer

[rare swan]

I just want some ladies with new hair styles

[prime quarry]

[rare swan]

LET DIANTHA TAKE HER HAIR OUT

[prime quarry]

More ladies with cute hair plz thx

Will whale

[rare swan]

I love seeing different hair styles like THANK YOU to the Winter alts for both having new hair styles

they never change the men's hair 😭 FINALLY

[prime quarry]

I promise, DeNA, you can change the characters' hair and they'll still be recognizable

[upbeat lotus]

Lets swap Liza's and Tate's hair

[grim plover]

thats why i love ethans MF

[tardy fiber]

I want lucas alt with no hat

[rare swan]

red needs to lose that damn hat for his next alt

and Leaf should have gotten a tiara for her NC like the other girls

not a damn bowler hat

[lost bobcat]

Funeral outfit 💀

[rare swan]

they did her dirty fr

[topaz compass]

After Lillie got skipped in Alola VA, everything is possible

[rare swan]

she's clearly being saved for NC, though

Flannery......

[prime quarry]

Hoenn NC with Flannery

I'm also still holding out on Selene and Elio being there for NC Alola even though I know it's gonna be Lillie

[tardy fiber]

The next alt will be sun and moon red

[grim plover]

but when i have gems

[hard wave]

Palentines Shauna and Flannery for grown woman pt 2

[rare swan]

DO IT DENA!!!!

[dark oar]

kanto/johto/hoenn ;o

Glacia and Lorelei o/

(since we just got NY Clair)

[lilac crescent]

Palentine Melony and Gloria.

[tardy fiber]

Palentine lillie

With magearna

[lean mango]

Palentines Lisia pls

[dark oar]

The Lisia/Wallace family be like : Be winning this 2024!

[winged fossil]

Please no, I can’t afford that this year

Not with how unlikely half anni will be skippable for me

[lilac crescent]

Can we not with more Lillie alts?

I don't think the internet can handle it anymore.

[wide yew]

They handled reds, cynthias and mays

That's nothing

[upbeat lotus]

we all know she and other popular characters will get more alts in the future

and the last "real" alt she got was from April 2022

[lean mango]

girl still can not catch a break

[upbeat lotus]

give White Day alts to boys

[wide yew]

omg men

[lilac crescent]

Where are the new men alts of Feb?

[dark oar]

white day gonna be skip for me D;

[tardy fiber]

I wonder if DeNa will implement it if i ask them to replace Lillie's model with leaf for kanto VA scenes i will send it in feedback

[dark oar]

tbh

white day just got replaced by .5 anni ;x

[upbeat lotus]

it was an insult to Leaf fans

[lilac crescent]

Leaf deserved better in my opinion.

[tardy fiber]

Its just , she got no reason to be there...nothing in story quest that relates to her appearance in kanto Va, hope they can change the models

[feral vale]

Isn’t Leaf also a lot more outgoing than Lillie?

[tardy fiber]

Just replace their models yet keep the dialogue texts, people wont even remember that Lillie was in kanto VA before this

[rare swan]

not the channel for this Q bestie

[dark cliff]

My B

[rare swan]

[tardy fiber]

Big gems next reset

[dark oar]

oh right 😮

3k gems from Iono's rt rally

[earnest kiln]

I hope ||Bede (Champion)|| reruns soon, I'm sicka putting stuff off

[broken mulch]

Putting what off?

[lilac crescent]

Non-limited?

[tawny cedar]

I'm very tempted to use my support cake on petrel and piers even though it's a bad investment

What do I do

The thought keeps coming back to me every week or so

[lilac crescent]

Save.

Just save until you atleast have 2 Cake Rolls.

[violet nebula]

Once a week isn't bad... now continue living

[vestal leaf]

Piers is fine imo

[tawny cedar]

1/5

Long time before i candy him

Cuz I have to double candy petrel first

[topaz compass]

Anybody else hitting 100k saved free gems with me tomorrow?

[violet nebula]

Nay 😦

[broken mulch]

Nope

I should be back to pity though yeah

[tardy fiber]

I will have 100k but around 67k are free the rest are paid

[lilac crescent]

Can't. I'm only at like 13.3K.

[grim plover]

i would have 80k ||if certain clown wouldn't have cost me a pity||

[lilac crescent]

Who is this ||certain clown|| you speak of?

[topaz compass]

NY unit if you actually forgot

[lilac crescent]

I did.

Is it Clair?

No, Wallace.

I got it, Lisia.

[oak crest]

[lean mango]

[dark cliff]

Man, half anniversary soon and then they have all these other pairs currently.. and also Palentines… it’s very hard to not want to pull

Will just need to save for the epic units or favorites

[grim plover]

Same, I'm worried about next moth. If no favs I'm gonna be good for half anni

[vernal glade]

I’m hoping for skip months with no favs also.

[tardy fiber]

Same kinda worry about next month, run up to anni or half anni months might have some bait

[rare swan]

There will always be bait for anni

But I believe y'all are strong

[vernal glade]

I skipped last years half anniversary, I’ll do it again.

[oak crest]

if my predictions are correct for pre-anni bait, its an easy skip for me

cant get tempted by something if you already have it

[vernal glade]

Or something that isn’t interesting

[winged fossil]

i completely forgot about the rally so got caught offguard by my inbox being flooded with presents lol

[rare swan]

[winged fossil]

Back to pity and I’m not even done catching up on the sinnoh rerun

Most of way through part 1, few more clears then I can move to part 2 in morning

[dark oar]

Currently at 22k + 7.5k .... hopefully its a skip month february ... pls dena ;_;

[broken mulch]

Same LMAO

Unless a fav drops

[versed flame]

crossed three pities again, im feeling relatively confident for half anni / anni if it ends up being hisui

[cunning swan]

Oh yeah, recently hit 3 pities as well

I hope dena continues with the 4 new banners a month trend we've been having

[tardy fiber]

Recent months are great, because no variety banner to sidetrack peoples

Plus 2 free NPC pairs in short timegap

[tawny cedar]

Should be at half a pity by Jan end

May have 2 pities for feb

[lost bobcat]

Not a courtesy
They just want to limit the amount of units joining *mix scout in few months

Just like genpool units are released likely after anni or a little before it

[earnest kiln]

||Iono|| and ||Grusha||, I do have ||NC Blue||, ||Sonia||, ||Melony|| and ||Glacia|| tho

I already have two pities

One paid, the other Non-Paid

Almost one full Non-Paid one

[compact pasture]

Do we hope to skip 5th anni?

[rare swan]

we hope for a busted fave

[earnest kiln]

If there's nothing I like, yeah

[unkempt vortex]

Jokes on you favs are never busted

[earnest kiln]

||Nemona||, ||NC Hop||, ||NC Bede||, ||Sygna Suit Hau||... Want me to go on?

||NC Red||, ||NC Blue||, ||NC Nate||

[compact pasture]

All the NCs?

[dark oar]

o.o

i think you're fine, just save for faves at this point ❤️

[earnest kiln]

Yeah

I should

Is ||NC Blue|| better than ||Iono||?

[compact pasture]

Masterfairs are generally better than pokefairs

[earnest kiln]

ah

Forgot to spoiler 'em

[upbeat lotus]

for meta questions, asking in #poma-questions is better

but yes, ||NC Blue is better than Iono in most cases||

[earnest kiln]

ah

[dark cliff]

What was the half ani last year? The triple Galar fair?

[unkempt vortex]

Nc

[dark cliff]

If so, they may do a re-run of that for bait

NC seems to be the new theme so, probably another. Either that or another type of similar concept.

[dark oar]

tbh, i think they'll rerun all the master fairs eventually, giving them EX Roles.

(Minus ||Ash||)

[dark cliff]

Do they not have EX Roles?

[dark oar]

only a few who has rerun

post 4th anni

[dark cliff]

Guess I never noticed. not that I have the cakes to spare anyway

[untold tide]

maybe they'll rerun ssr cynthia and give the poor girl field EX

[dark oar]

that too.

[untold tide]

or sprint, that might make sense considering half the jp protests are "she slows down sync with shadow force"

[prime quarry]

Just give her a 5/5 grid expansion with Prop 1 on Shadow Force

I think Field EX makes the most sense for her

Inb4 support

[untold tide]

LMAO

[dark oar]

Tbh, a lot of Master Fairs, especially the old ones

would be really good for a Power Boost. o/

[untold tide]

tbh I hope they rerun MFs...not because I want copies, but because I want them to get EXRd

[dark oar]

if for some reason give them 5/5 Grids, i think that's super super nasty

[untold tide]

makes not pulling for new pairs easier when your old units get buffed

[prime quarry]

As much as the whale in me would love 5/5 grids on the MFs, I'd rather see 3/5 power boosts

I don't need Anni N's 5/5 grid tyvm

[untold tide]

irida field/striker/sprint EXR when?

[prime quarry]

Field would be great for Irida tbh

[dark oar]

indeed, she can now drop Ice Zone before sync ❤️

[untold tide]

but yeah I hope ssr cynthia and irida gets EXR soon, the former needs it, the latter is just my fave

[dark oar]

Out of 27 Master Fairs, only 11 have EX Role.

we're like 1/2 there tbh rofl.

[prime quarry]

Anni Lillie with tech rolex plz her sync is so bad

[untold tide]

lmao ash ruining the multiple of three number

[dark oar]

these are the ones currently not having a EX Role

[prime quarry]

Bede with tech inc

Kris with Field would be quite nice

[feral vale]

~~Ash is gonna be in no-cake hell ~~

[dark oar]

problem with the Johto Master Fair Trio

they reran before the 4th anni

so its likely be like in 5 or more months for them to get their EX Roles

[prime quarry]

We'll probably be waiting a good while for the Johtrio to get theirs

I think Maxie and/or Archie might be next with Field

[dark oar]

easiest to go for right now is Maxie/Archie, yeah.

[broken mulch]

Hmm out of the masters I had to skip… I think I only like Irida

[dark oar]

hum actually.

[prime quarry]

Out of the Maater Fair I missed I like him and I want him

[dark oar]

They might do Galar NC next month, then March with ||Anni Lillie, Anni N and Anni Steven||

afterwards, either ||SS Lusamine|| or ||Kyogre/Maxie||

[dark cliff]

They need some SSRs for the rest of the fairs

[dark oar]

when was the last time ||SS Lusamine reran||?

[prime quarry]

Looks like end of April last year

[dark oar]

hooh. that's actually a pretty solid time table then

[prime quarry]

Plus her getting tech rolex would be excellent

Still not enough to make me use her but still

[dark oar]

or Support.

her sync is pretty solid enough

[prime quarry]

Oh shit I forgot about support lmao

[dark oar]

but her DPS is gonna be super super strong

[prime quarry]

I forgot she needs to sync first

Support is definitely the play

[dark oar]

/me nods

||Anniversary Steven too||

i should update my future timeline stuff hehe

if ||Ash|| ever gets a rerun, its probably the 5th anniversary heh.

[prime quarry]

5th anniversary would be a fitting time

[dark oar]

yep that should plop nicely with master fair reruns o/

[untold tide]

NC ||Ash|| hopium?

[feral vale]

Naw man, I want that Ash & Greninja pairing, that’s the good stuff

[dark oar]

||Ash & Charizard|| with Field :>

Tech/Field rather yeah

[crisp oracle]

My personal experience: ||why do I tend to wait for MF reruns||

idk why ||I just don't pull MFs when they come out||

[prime quarry]

I mean, if they're not faves, it make sense

I had to wait until ||Leon, Maxie, and Archie reran|| because of poor timing

[dark oar]

Honestly, with like with the upcoming months, i feel like they'll rerun every master fair they can leading up to the 5th Anniversary

[crisp oracle]

well they're doing one every month

[dark oar]

after 5th anni, they can drop ||Johto Master Fair Reruns then||

[untold tide]

I feel that's true, if only to EXR everyone and milk some money from already made units

[crisp oracle]

||its a fun way to catch up on old pairs I might have wanted||

[untold tide]

Funnily enough would the urge to pull lessen with mismatched EXR? E.g. poor NC Calem

[dark oar]

I think however.... February with ||Galar NCs|| and March with ||2nd Anni Master Fairs||... its going to be a rough couple of months if they go that way.

[crisp oracle]

The more I've played the less desire I have for master fairs

It's just experience, you learn how to use everyone else

[dark oar]

indeed

guess we'll see if we get the datamine early or something then kuku...

[winged fossil]

I’m sure there’s some people that’d skip purely out of spite in cases like this especially now that we finally got first sprint/field cakes

Calem was a victim of being too soon

[lilac crescent]

Now we have a excuse to get Sprint and Field Cake Rolls.

[dark cliff]

Petition for ||archie|| to be a gift ticket 😭

Spandex Pirate Bro is still top tier

[dark oar]

Master Fair Ticket? D;

5th anniversary is a pretty big milestone

[dark cliff]

They did it for team rocket

[winged fossil]

MF tickets never happening imo

[dark oar]

yeah i feel like

they're gonna do it for like a 7th anniversary though.

[winged fossil]

Seems to be a variety/pf thing at best

[unkempt vortex]

Never

[dark oar]

5th anni will probably 1 pokefair ticket though. heh.

[unkempt vortex]

Not even for an anni thing

[winged fossil]

If we start getting mf tickets then eos will be imminent imo

[untold tide]

for 7th anni,,,, well at that point, it might as well be "sorry we powercrept nc blue and everyone before him"

[unkempt vortex]

We could eos and never get a mf ticket

[winged fossil]

They have to keep something for people to fall for fomo on after all

[dark cliff]

Is there enough content for a 7th anni?

They’re already up to Paldea

[dark oar]

that's like enough for a new Pokemon Generation tbh.

[dark cliff]

although I did forget that Pasio has its own Lore

So maybe they’ll expand upon that

[dark oar]

yep

[dark cliff]

I could think that someone who is the polar opposite of Leer would he a fun unit

[zenith eagle]

Do y'all think I'll be able to make up their difference for scout points before Iono banner goes away? I have 28.3k right now. 4.3k more to come this month + I'll get about 1.5k from ongoing events + bingo. Also haven't done the first clears for all Training Area stages and a bunch of sync pair stories. Can I get 4k from all this before Iono banner ends?

[untold tide]

first of all, let this be a lesson to check if you have pity before pulling

Second of all, I think there's a gem count command but I don't recall, sorry

Ah you can use /banners

[zenith eagle]

Haven't used any gems yet

Not before making sure I can hit scout points

I did use the command. We have 4.3k left this patch

[untold tide]

Yeah, according to /banners there's 4.3k gems until iono, so you should be fine

[zenith eagle]

That makes 32.6k idk if I can get 4k from all the other sources I mentioned

[lost bobcat]

Def yes, we barely surpassed half of galar stuff

Paldea just started

[dark oar]

as well as Hisui related stuff.

i'm sure they can do hisui stuff in like 2 years.

[lost bobcat]

Yeah!

[lean mango]

reached 90k, time to see if I can keep that 100k

[rare swan]

Of course you can

[tardy fiber]

Yes, as alts exist in this game. If everyone is only a base pair, for sure we already run out of content but as there's alts plus plenty of unreleased and duplicate pokemons (shinies) ...we still got a whole lot of contents

[rare swan]

Reminder that the BV closes in an hour

GET YOUR GEMS

[versed flame]

speedrunning it rn 😅

back when it dropped i decided i would do the full run for last time's sake but now having procrastinated on it for ages i wish i hadn't haha

oh well 2 star cookies are nice

[dark oar]

that should be a global announcement rofl

[dire meteor]

im really hoping February will be a skip month

[upbeat lotus]

We all are

[rare swan]

Who is "we"?

I want a faaaaaaaave

[dark oar]

||Malva|| ? .-.?

[broken mulch]

I need to build my stash up before I wish for a fave haha

[prime quarry]

Idk I'm feeling the itch for a fav since I still have a pity

I'm worried that Palentine's will give me two faves

[dark cliff]

Ohhhh yeeahhhh we did get two hisui starters

[dark oar]

oh yeah.

[dark cliff]

Kind of wanted them to have the doofy Typholsion

[dark oar]

||Professor Laventon|| over all the ||Pokemon Professors|| outside of ||Oak|| xd

[hard wave]

We have sonia sycamore and kukui tho

[dark oar]

i kinda want ||Prof Rowan or Elm||

[dark cliff]

We haven’t got the Pasio cat professor yet

[prime quarry]

Bellis?

[versed flame]

i would love a professor + professor assistant focused event

[dark cliff]

That her name?

[prime quarry]

The Pasio professor? Yeah

[feral vale]

She is like….the only Pasio-exclusive character that isn’t a playable sync pair now

[prime quarry]

5th anni

[tardy fiber]

Ss Lear with Hoopa Unbound when?

[hard wave]

Besides the nurses I think

[dark cliff]

Ah beat me to it lol

Pasio Nurses for Palentines!

[rare swan]

[dark oar]

:o~ I do kinda wish to see more Pasio characters though.

[unkempt vortex]

Sorry you only get mc

And you’re gonna like it

Pasio characters will stay in jail

[tardy fiber]

Pasio nurse trio plus striaton trio palentine event

[lost bobcat]

Parker & Cottonee when
More potion meatshields for LG

[lunar thistle]

Well I'm looking to end the month at 12k

Since Mar has Psychic HS I'm praying for a fav

Deo, Lati@s or NDM would all be nice

[untold tide]

Psychic HSE??? Are we going to see ||CBede/SS Lussa|| rerun???

[lunar thistle]

God both would be favs for me

[lost bobcat]

Probably, ssSteven too

[untold tide]

They better rerun kanto VA

I need Gio PB

[lunar thistle]

Did Anni May rerun anytime before

[lost bobcat]

Yes, iirc we had a banner w the eon duo

[prime quarry]

Back in March last year, yeah

[warm scarab]

O dannnng I need that too

[topaz compass]

Psychic HSE banner will be interesting

[topaz compass]

As a MF collector, please no 5/5

[topaz compass]

Would make the extensions an easy skip on grid, yeah?

[prime quarry]

Potentially? The extensions are still nice for making sure you can sync without getting interrupted, but otherwise yeah

[tardy fiber]

Wow thats a long maintenance news

[cunning swan]

Another maintenance, jeez

[prime quarry]

New game mode

[crisp grotto]

That's what we said the last time

[prime quarry]

Let a girl hope Arch 😭

[topaz compass]

Well I will be happy for any EX roles for ada/irada

[grim plover]

Oh yeah we're getter 5/5 deoxys next month for sure

Or in March

[tardy fiber]

Oh right, any pairs getting power boost this month? Or its just 5/5 grids

[upbeat lotus]

SS Cynthia with 3/5 expansion

[vestal leaf]

I'm expecting Lear 5/5 instead

[prime quarry]

I'm kind of expecting and hoping for SS Dawn 5/5, but I think SSteven is more likely

I'd like a Lear expansion, but they might wanna save that for a special event? Idk

[vestal leaf]

Oh yeah dawn is a possibility too

[dark oar]

SS Dawn huh

[vestal leaf]

I don't expect Steven because he's the most recent and broken one

[prime quarry]

True

[vestal leaf]

It's not like 5/5s are celebrated with events anyway

So lear is just as likely as dawn imho

[grim plover]

they usually do a rerun of the type of the HSE solo SS Dawn, SS Steven and or lear could be possible

what other psychic pf are there?

[dark oar]

these 5

[prime quarry]

May and Lana

Lana just reran, so not her

They could rerun May, though I think Dawn and Lear are the most likely

Maybe Steven? Less certain about that

[grim plover]

may is an anni unit so i see her slightly less likely

[upbeat lotus]

SS Steven would increase revenue by a lot

[dark oar]

lol

[prime quarry]

Do they need revenue right now

[grim plover]

and he's a good pre anni bait

[dark oar]

Anni May had a rerun but with SS Brendan

[prime quarry]

If so they could rerun Cynthia

[vestal leaf]

Ssteven in a hse rerun? Doubt

[dark oar]

so its possible

(pre 4th anni too)

[grim plover]

they already did

there's 3 cynthias rn

[upbeat lotus]

as always

[vestal leaf]

HSE banner drops after half Anni datamine tho

So it wouldn't be bait

[prime quarry]

Moar Cynthia

Fuck it, give us Palentine's Cynthia with Spiritomb or smth

Need money

[grim plover]

Idk it's weird that they annunced the HSE this early

[upbeat lotus]

plot twist: she is the half anni pair

[grim plover]

they could rerun the psychic pf before half anni

[dark oar]

Summer Cynthia please.

[prime quarry]

They did it last time too

[upbeat lotus]

Spiritomb is more fitting for Hlw tho

[dark oar]

and Cynthia already has Giratina

giving her another Ghost type be like "eheheh"

[prime quarry]

At least Spiritomb is pretty iconic for her

Unlike Lucario

[dark oar]

i played Platinum a lot so, it makes sense for her to have it. Mega Lucario however is uh...

[prime quarry]

That's my gripe too!! Platinum is still one of my favourite games and then I see her with Mega Lucario and I'm like

Where Spiritomb, where Togekiss, where Milotic

[upbeat lotus]

i saw the edit

fake Sinnoh fans smh

[vestal leaf]

Is it?

They always announce a month or 40-50 days in advance

For HSE

[prime quarry]

Listen I forgot that Porygon wasn't until the remake

[dark oar]

i actually didnt play BDSP o-o

was kinda weird to find her running Proygon in her Champion Stadium

[grim plover]

what you mean

[prime quarry]

You're not missing much 😭

[grim plover]

she has lucario accesories

[prime quarry]

Those are related to Lucario?

[tardy fiber]

Thanks, so they didn't forget power boost

Psychic hse is on march, most half anni stuffs too on march...it might be sinnoh NC with psychic azelf/uxie or alola NC with base necrozma/dawn wings

[grim plover]

Dena: have kanto NC 2 with mega mewtwo X

[tardy fiber]

They might do that, if they throw away NC for a while and instead bring back anniversary pairs...elaine (anniversary 2024) mega mewtwo x

I hope they go this route, they can resume back NC on non anniversary months

Release back anniversary pairs

[oak crest]

Yes, Special Red and mega mew2

Dena took note

[tardy fiber]

Red (anniversary) we still didn't have one....as sstred doesnt have anniversary on name

[dark cliff]

I ship it.

[lilac crescent]

[topaz compass]

Lol Elaine getting an alt so soon lmaoooo

Her counterpart should get added before that happens

[vestal leaf]

You want another Pikachu already?

[topaz compass]

Yeah I need 3 limited Pikachu for a team. Zapdos being a perfect support for them isn't enough

[compact pasture]

Physical striker Pikachu? Support Pika?

[vestal leaf]

Sprint

Just to shit on Nemona

[lilac crescent]

Boy we already got the Egg Pikachu, we got starter Pikachu, and we got caught Pikachu. How many more Pikachu do you want?

[dark oar]

another Pikachu of ||Chase||

[lilac crescent]

Nemona's good.

[vestal leaf]

I never said she's bad

[dark cliff]

I’d whale for a Dynamax Wooloo with meme moves lol

[lilac crescent]

Kinda surprised how no one's made a Wooloo joke in any sort of official media yet.

[tardy fiber]

Well shauna alt is faster

[topaz compass]

A weird occurrence doesn't mean a trend

[tardy fiber]

So it doesn't mean it cannot happen

Lmaoooo

[topaz compass]

Oh God I didn't know was an option

my girl is still better imo

[tardy fiber]

Also Dawn and Gloria getting alt before their male protags even release so i doesnt see it cannot happen to Elaine

[unkempt vortex]

It’s gonna happen

Dena hates male protags excluding red

[tardy fiber]

DeNa hates Selene too ...i blame it on Lillie's existence

[unkempt vortex]

They treat lillie like more of an mc than the actual mcs

[tardy fiber]

Even worse when she randomly enters Kanto VA without any official or pasio lore behind that action other than she already exists on pasio

Still hating it

Its not like she's interpol like looker and anabel or mastermind like gio to simply pop anywhere

[lunar thistle]

So can I get a pity in Feb if I end this month with 12k

[feral vale]

Cannot say, we don’t know Feb’s gem count.

[topaz compass]

Keep hoarding those candies!

[lunar thistle]

Is it possible

[topaz compass]

Most months manage 25k so it would be likely

It will be close

That assumes you mean a pity at end of Feb though

[grim plover]

I still have fav techs to candy since the tech era

[unkempt vortex]

Wdym this is still the tech era

[topaz compass]

All my original zone units are still 1/5 haha

[grim plover]

it was worse before

there were months without supports

[lunar thistle]

So probably not Palentine's

[topaz compass]

If palentines ends in mid February then you got no chance sorry

[unkempt vortex]

Seasonals never last to the end of the month

[lunar thistle]

But like Pal units tend to be bad right

[grim plover]

pal marnie with the only steel wish:

[lunar thistle]

But that's the only reason it's good innit

[grim plover]

But i skipped her anyways. Never regret skipping a unit you only like for the kit

[topaz compass]

The damage is falling off from power creep but it has stat reduction and flinch too

[lunar thistle]

Well March has Psychic HS

So maybe I'll pull for that double banner depending

[topaz compass]

Have we ever had a triple split banner for an HSE? Or only duo or less (electric was solo)

It was only 2 for each I guess, LG are the only triples right?

[tough oriole]

VAs can have triples ig

[unkempt vortex]

VA have whatever they want there’s no pattern

[tough oriole]

They can even have 0s

[broken mulch]

They got quadruples lol

[compact pasture]

And rolls?

[topaz compass]

If you mean role cakes I have everything we have earned normally plus 8 extra support coins from a lucky Paulo banner x2 pull

[sturdy flower]

i wonder if we get another Elesa situation this February

the girl is a 10 but the unit is just Nein

[prime quarry]

Pal Elesa is still my go-to for Flying nuking

[grim plover]

and im still using ||1/5|| Anni steven for flying

[prime quarry]

[fallen path]

based

[tardy fiber]

Oh right today's poma day, i want to see what duplicate outfit will give you...i wonder if its 3* PU

[tardy fiber]

Barely any difference if 3/5 just more stats with fierce entry 1, also iirc there's also dragon ascent fleet feet and clear power up 1 if focusing on non sync tiles

Not sure about good form multiplier, so not sure how much fierce entry 1 and 1 speed buff per turn will change him

Although i use him with sm liza together some times just for high flying physical damage ...sm liza kinda doesn't use gauge much so it works

[grim plover]

he's mostly for MP and cheap damage because Blue gets the job done

[versed flame]

blue is the flying MVP

[summer goblet]

Gem count report for Pokemon Masters Day. Looking good so far to save for my favs

[spare latch]

holycow, 430k gems

2 year worth of savings?

[warm scarab]

Almost there

[rare swan]

Soon™️

[lean mango]

Gem count, leaned forward a bit and now close to that #100k

[dark oar]

i think i'm at 24k @_@

and 8k paid gems

[sturdy flower]

saving is going well here

at a point where I feel comfortable getting something

[rare swan]

We love all this saving

[tardy fiber]

Im glad that i done 5* all non eggmons, now i only need to save 20 in case there's new lodge pair and others can be converted to ...its good because i started to EX non faves as well for highscore stuffs and just EXing mega evolve able pairs, well faves still are the only one getting to level 150 though

[tardy fiber]

Oh this is my gems amount, it isn't much but its something

[worthy willow]

Probably has been asked before but are the Poma Day gem sales worth it? If so which one?

[oak crest]

If you want the best value go for the sync orb login bundle, you can get 3k paid for a few bucks if you are willing to wait 20 days

[worthy willow]

The monthly one with x50000 orbs?
