Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[hard wave]

Ok so its just those 3, and it’ll prob be Hala if they dont shaft him like the pal event idt anyone would use Terrakion or IV as an opponent in HSE as well

[tardy fiber]

Also at least he's guaranteed to get and can help fighting HS, the 100 pull isnt guaranteed...might just end up with 100 PUs

[sturdy flower]

presents is after datamine tho

[compact pasture]

When will we get all 10 tickets?

[tardy fiber]

We will get the first 10 on 19th, so 28th

[tardy fiber]

neat, i hate surprises

[compact pasture]

The presents present will be in the datamine?

[tardy fiber]

Nope, it usually during presents

But as datamine before presents, that means we can know everything on march

[upbeat lotus]

We dont even know if there is a presents coming up

No info about it so far

[tardy fiber]

Finally done with all of the good stuffs in alcremie event shop, now i can go back to pal event rerun shop and finish stuffs there

Cutting it close with 2 new events on Monday later

[chrome nest]

Will there be the pokemon day present?

[dark oar]

They haven't sent a broadcast yet or twitter news.

[chrome nest]

Odd

[dark oar]

its likely be in the coming days tbh.

i doubt they'd miss out Pokemon Day though

[chrome nest]

I’m guaranteed to get to 18-20K if I save properly

[tardy fiber]

Thats great news

As no way that march gems will dip below 20k so 18-20k is nice

Pity in the bag next month

[chrome nest]

That’s with the free 3K gems from presents and anni

Rest is just estimated

[topaz compass]

Really hope the estimates of all PFs for a combined 3.4% in the 10x10 free pulls are true

Getting on average 3 limited units would be nuts compared to prior years

[tardy fiber]

I just keep my expectations low, because there's a time when i only got 2 5* from 100 pulls and another time with only 3 5*

[winged fossil]

From looks of things I don’t form my second tech candy till almost pomaday. Think I’m barely gonna beat pomaday in terms of bp giving me the last coin

[chrome nest]

Thankfully master fair gladion ends when the anni ends so I can still know what the anni units are without being pressured

[dark oar]

spoiler that unit's name 😮

[lilac crescent]

No ||SS Gladion|| today/tonight.

[gloomy holly]

Fine by me

[winged fossil]

||Breaking zen streak tomorrow night, then returning until anni datamine at minimal after. There's one other temptation but it's unlikely and comes like the day before the datamine estimated date.||

[tardy fiber]

Cannot wait for Riley next reset especially because i only have 12 fighting pairs and Riley will be the 13th

[vestal leaf]

"only"

I got a full dead streak once and a 2 5* once

[rare swan]

Comfy place to be before half-anni

praying for a fave in the next datamine

[crisp grotto]

**May**be it'll happen!

[rare swan]

[dark oar]

that little trickle of non-paid gems of 5. lol

[rare swan]

PMEX Day scout always leaving my gems looking funky every second month!

[dark oar]

oh that's true. ._.

[strange trout]

Just don't pull on it, self-induced problem frfr

[rare swan]

but (basically) free pull

[strange trout]

Suffer

[chrome nest]

I have 10K at the moment, now time to fine an excuse to do BV

[dark oar]

go for it :o~

[oak crest]

he's a sprint pair too, so a good multiplier mule for BR if needed

he will be my 4th sprint pair once I get him

[tardy fiber]

Yep he will be my 3rd sprint, 5th if we count ex role

I need 10 sprint and 10 field to become more comfortable for rally

[oak crest]

its 4th for mine including EX roles

meanwhile my field is still 1

Victor and the horse

[tardy fiber]

I got 3 field

[lament arch]

All fields that aren't cake role are:

• Spectrier Victor
• NY Wallace

[dark oar]

Holiday Viola 😮

[tardy fiber]

I got mix red

[oak crest]

should have went for hol viola back then, forgot she was a field and highly likely wont be in the seasonal select

[tardy fiber]

I thought she will be, aint new year pairs are the ones that are missing in last year's half anni seasonal select?

[oak crest]

she is field pair

and last year they split the selects by unit type

idt they will add a select for sprint/field

[tardy fiber]

Oh right, not many field seasonal so probably cannot be a banner

[oak crest]

seeing the selects back on Jan

they didnt even have a combined banner for field and sprint

[winged fossil]

I’d be surprised if we got fighting hse before Koraidon tbh. Don’t see them doing fighting hse when we only have like 9 f2p fighting after Riley iirc

And by time we get enough gen pools of fighting Koraidon should hopefully be out

I don’t see them holding back on a new box legend that long

I am a bit curious actually, is there any types signaturewise and such that you’re close to completion on (or already done even) barring future pokemon or duplicate mon pairs, vanter?

[broken mulch]

Alright managed to finish alcremie and Falkner shops

Should have enough stamina to finish the Palentines + Gladion events

… oh goddammit Riley is also next reset

[winged fossil]

I’m focused on the palentines shops cause I don’t want to go for the slow shops when gladion event is up and I hate those ticket rates

I’m close to done the important stuff on both pal events tho

I might just let most of the alcremie shop be ignored

I got the pair and have it 3/5 from my own candies. Might grab the pus and candies but I’ll prob skip the rest

Having only one palentines pair really hurt my efficiency

[broken mulch]

Yeah Palentines rates suck lol

[winged fossil]

Most seasonal event rates suck honestly

I think the main seasonal I have ok rates on is summer

Although it also means running SuMarnie suN and either summer lyra or summer Steven

Summer team is so busy that I often just don’t know what to tank with on the daily stage when it comes if it doesn’t have an extra 1.4x+ pair

(Which they don’t like doing much anymore for stuff not directly tied to the banners)

[tardy fiber]

I will be fine for summer, got the twins plus ||summer hilda from mix scout||

Im worried more about April

Its SC month and right after half anni

And so far, SC has 5 faves

DeNa could just release another 4 faves in a whim, and only a month of gems to save

[broken mulch]

Halloween I’m the most well off with lol, I love the drip the most of all the seasonals so I have a huge roster

But augh my Palentines one

[tardy fiber]

I got some palentine units from my previous tendency of getting zone meta, luckily i already changed my perception but still there's palbea and palmarnie in my roster

[vestal leaf]

I'd maybe recommend not to bring up pulled limiteds from mix in saving chat

Without spoilers

[tardy fiber]

Ok but aint mix scout is good as the pity carries

Better than spending in random dailies

And get 3* dupe

So i would say its a good allocation of resource as the pity counter stays

[crisp grotto]

Agreed

Any sort of potential motivation to pull should be avoided or spoilered

[tardy fiber]

At least it doesn't disturb f2p gems

Hurm, 900 gems still stuck in UBs

||i only do 50 points in mix scout monthly so that i can pity the mix unit every 6 months cycle, as i got mix red early in first 50 points||...my paid gems just growing from orb bundle

[vestal leaf]

Mix still heavily pushes players towards a more invested paid income

As such I don't really like "recommending" it through talking about how good it is

[tardy fiber]

Thats why i limit myself to do only 50 points monthly

So that can reach 300 pity in 6 months cycle

[vestal leaf]

I have done less than that

Way less

Seeing people talking about investing in mix is inherently something not suited to a chat that's about trying not to spend if not for faves

Imo

[tardy fiber]

Because truthfully ||other than the paywall unit|| trying to get other pairs in it is a waste

Better just save for select

[vestal leaf]

Yep

It's also much less expensive

3-10k every 6months Vs 3-5-10k per month depending on your money

[tardy fiber]

Thats why its puzzling to see people posted being sad with ||4/5 mix red|| like why people go for him more than 1/5

Use candy is cheaper

[vestal leaf]

As someone who doesn't do more than 1 3k bundle every odd month

[tardy fiber]

I grab 3k bundle every 20 days

[vestal leaf]

I don't really see much reason to pull for a paid only unit even if faves as it's basically a paid variety we're talking about

[tardy fiber]

So 9k every 2 months

Not really, i will grab faves even if its variety...as my main attract points in poma are pokemons...i wouldn't care less if the trainer is popular or wearing same outfit...if they use my pokemon faves, i will grab

Same reason like those people that are region Maxing

They still grab varieties

So just stick with fave list

It motivated you to play poma

[grim plover]

in my case it was a t0 fav with a t0 pokemon

[vestal leaf]

Well if you go for mons it's another thing

Even tho this is like

The third venusaur

[grim plover]

i dont like the mc or leaf so it was my first usable venusaur

[tardy fiber]

Only first for me because i skipped ssleaf

[vestal leaf]

Understandable

I still doubt I'd pull for any accessible fave in mix if they get the red treatment

• variety unit
• repeat mon

[grim plover]

yeah i wouldnt recommend to pull for an asset flip if you have a minimun doubt about the unit

[tardy fiber]

Me with 2 celesteelas smh DeNa, not even shiny

I should sent feedback to DeNa to make either scjasmine/smliza shiny

[grim plover]

just wait 2 weeks for NC Selene & Shiny Celestela

[tardy fiber]

Please no its not like they are running out of stuff like kalos

There's like nihilego, stakataka,kartana, xurkitree, guzzlord, zeraora

[grim plover]

reserved for unova trainers

[tardy fiber]

But the recent UB thief is hoenn

[rare swan]

[tardy fiber]

Unova trainers will totally steal paradoxes, aint like bunch of em from gen 5 or something

Hydreigon, volcarona

Sword of justice

[crisp grotto]

Only if Zinnia & Wally steal Roaring Moon & Iron Valiant respectively

Pairings waiting to happen, I'll be so disappointed if they don't

[vestal leaf]

||Mine are 3/5 and 5/5||

||Fav UB btw||

[crisp grotto]

We accept strange taste here dw

[vestal leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/the-tale-of-the-bamboo-cutter-kaguya-hime-cherry-blossoms-dancing-spinning-gif-5594835

[tardy fiber]

Oh right there's also hoenn paradox, i thought most of them are johto and unova to promote next game or something

[crisp grotto]

[tardy fiber]

Oh wait iron valiant is kinda weird

Gallade + gardevoir

[crisp grotto]

Yeah

[zenith eagle]

It's gonna be difficult ||not going for SS Gladion right as he drops next reset. But I have to stay strong atleast until datamine.||

[grim plover]

I would pay for wally & iron valiant

[tardy fiber]

His release is too close to datamine

Just have a will to wait for a week or less

If follow last half anni, the first pair and event will release on 28th iirc

[grim plover]

i believe datamine will be the 26

[tardy fiber]

So datamine probably 26

Yeah

[crisp grotto]

that seems pre likely

I would love to be surprised early

[grim plover]

dev letter before that

[tardy fiber]

Yep usually anni they will release a long dev letter that looks like a poster in ingame mail

[zenith eagle]

Also kinda excited to experience my first anni

[vestal leaf]

I just see Gladion like AnniMay was 2 years ago: early appetizer

So waiting doesn't hurt

[zenith eagle]

What came after her?

[vestal leaf]

Especially since he lasts ages

Anni skyla and rahian

[tardy fiber]

Kinda why that my conspiracy theory think that half anni will be alola NC

Ssgladion with dupe alola spirit just like his mom is kinda sus

[grim plover]

Yeah i think he's part of the anni + selene + helio (+ lillie post anni). But that SS Steven rerun makes me think that it could be hoenn anni too

[tardy fiber]

Sssteven is for Psychic HS in march

[vestal leaf]

Ssteven isn't the HSE banner tho

[crisp grotto]

I personally think his trio is just supposed to be Lillie & Lusamine

And half anni is either Hoenn NC or something else

A cross-region non NC anni would be so dope

[zenith eagle]

Who could the Hoenn NCs be?

May and?

[tardy fiber]

Brendan

[crisp grotto]

I could see the paldea lizards happening too but that feels like more of an anni thing

[tardy fiber]

Yep plus the paldea pairs still didn't have paldea region theme

Feels too early

[crisp grotto]

True

[zenith eagle]

Do the anni and half anni pairs usually have legendary/mythical Pokémon?

[vestal leaf]

Often

[tardy fiber]

Kinda so far for half anni

Anni got non legendary

[vestal leaf]

Anyway, hisui is also an option

[zenith eagle]

Hoenn NCs with shiny Primals would be amazing

[vestal leaf]

Anni 2 and 4:

[tardy fiber]

I keep on forgetting that sinnoh NC hasn't happen, i blame it on Cynthia having a bunch of MF just like Red

Too hard to predict for sinnoh because hisui also count as sinnoh

[unkempt vortex]

Just stop thinking

It only leads to disappointment

[tardy fiber]

As long as the NC doesn't have Cynthia im happy

Also hoping for steven didnt become hoenn NC

And lillie for alola NC

[unkempt vortex]

It’s lillie

They’ll shove another one down our throat

We know they hate elio and selene

[tardy fiber]

Summer lillie nihilego is fine but please not NC

[tardy fiber]

But they got chosen for eeveelutions though, if they truly hate them...it will be mina espeon and nanu umbreon

[grim plover]

honestly i wouldnt be mad at another lillie, it has been more than a year without her getting an alt

and dena has been very generous with unpopular characters

[oak crest]

I'll be more annoyed if Hau is NC instead of Lillie

since he technically is the champ in Alola CS

at least Lillie isnt champ

[sand crown]

I can’t see Hau with a second alt in all honesty but weirder things have happened

[oak crest]

they have already shat on the "original purpose" of choosing a NC back on Kanto alrd by allowing a champ to get that title, not really keen on seeing it happen again

[zenith eagle]

How do y'all know which pairs could become neo champions?

[crisp grotto]

Just speculation on the most part

But it's all been rivals & MCs so far

So it's pretty fair to expect it to continue

[zenith eagle]

Gotcha I thought it was from watching the anime or something

[crisp grotto]

Nah the only anime pair in the game is Ash, he's a special case who doesn't seem to be rerunning any time soon

[zenith eagle]

It sucks they'll never give him am EXR

Or maybe they will and he'll get one more rerun?!

[upbeat lotus]

license issue says no

[zenith eagle]

Ah unfortunate

[crisp oracle]

His soundtrack got yeeted; which was the nail in the no rerun coffin

[strange trout]

Jessie and James erasure smh

[crisp grotto]

They're in LGPE bestie

And yellow

[strange trout]

Wait they are?

[strange trout]

This one I knew

[vernal glade]

Plus, they removed the music in the files on literally the last day of Ash daily battle.

[crisp grotto]

Mhm

[vernal glade]

So when faced the last day, was just silence with no music at all.

[timber wren]

they ran that t shirt contest too that allowed the winners the pick any three sync pairs from the game to be put on a shirt EXCEPT for ash jessie and james

so that seemed pretty definitive that it’s a licensing issue

[lunar thistle]

So The Best Electric Team can't be formed anymore right

[tardy fiber]

Well at least Ash is still good, jessie/james doesnt even have a grid

[untold tide]

I love magearna, but someone convince me to wait until datamineee

[strange trout]

They'll release Magearna 2: The Better One

[upbeat lotus]

If you pull Magearna, you have to EX Cheren and 20/20 support Machamp

[unkempt vortex]

You guys always bring up ex cheren like that’s a punishment

What if they like him

[strange trout]

It is

[upbeat lotus]

[strange trout]

If anyone's EXed Cheren, 90% it's a mark of shame from a lost bet or dare

The other 10% it's a mark of shame for having bad taste

[lilac crescent]

Wow. You didn’t hold back on that.

[feral vale]

I mean #gacha-and-flex message

[lilac crescent]

Oh... oh dear (I kinda feel bad)

[lean mango]

#gacha-and-flex message

[fallen path]

[hard wave]

Cheren just needs to join lodge

[lilac crescent]

To make him not bad.

[hard wave]

His lodge unit will be better than him probably

[lilac crescent]

If they make it worse than his original pair, I'd be shocked.

[feral vale]

It better be

[lilac crescent]

Or else what?

[fallen path]

It’ll be an evasion unit

[hard wave]

Evading the “cheren bad” allegations

[fallen path]

[untold tide]

NOOoooo OK I'll wait until after datamine to decide on pulling

[summer goblet]

This is the highest I go for a while

[chrome nest]

Alright besides anni being near, give me one good reason to not pull the pre bait unit

[upbeat lotus]

EXing Cheren is a punishment, think about it

[untold tide]

Yeah it's so bad I have decided to wait for datamine

[tardy fiber]

I will EX Cheren if he becomes lodge guest, oh wait maybe i EX the lodge alt

[chrome nest]

That sounds horrible

[grim plover]

your fav is the anniversary unit

[chrome nest]

Oh I hope

[lilac crescent]

Bruh. I fell bad for the people who actually like Cheren.

[lilac crescent]

There are Poke Fair units being added to the 10-Day Scout!

[tardy fiber]

You dont have good amount of gems

[chrome nest]

Good point

[tardy fiber]

Well at least the 100 free pulls will start from this reset so you can relieve your itch by pulling that till datamine

Well the datamine probably released before we ran out of pulls from free 100 pulls anyway as it need 10 days in total

[topaz compass]

At least you have a multiple of 5. I had bought 1 or 2 of those newyear bundles that were 2021 or 2022 gems for $8

I'm going to try and hold out for 5 days of free 10x pulls at once

Then hopefully 1 of them contains a limited

[lunar thistle]

So countering FOMO by clearing stages with units you already have seems absolutely impossible for the next EBE

What do I do

[sand crown]

Realize it isn’t worth potentially 36,000 gems to earn 300

[lunar thistle]

But everyone's talking about it

[sand crown]

Stay out of the game/temptations

Log in tomorrow, do what you need to do to use up stam and hop off. First days of these hype events are always dangerous

[rare swan]

If you can't beat it, you can't beat it

I intend to skip it, myself, or maybe attempt Part 1

It is what it is

[sturdy hatch]

And it's not even out yet! Why such pessimism

[lunar thistle]

I mean gem counts this month is already low

[sand crown]

Yeah there’s always an alternative and strats, just need time for people to cook

[rare swan]

If someone can beat it F2P I'll copy them, otherwise I know I have no chance - and that's okay!

[lunar thistle]

And you're not even going for the ones you can obtain

[rare swan]

You can't beat yourself up if there's gems you miss, it's unhealthy

[sand crown]

Even vets have that. I couldn’t earn all 20 cake coins that crazy first rally day and it’s no biggie

Gotta move onto the next

[rare swan]

I could only beat 1 of the 4 recent Unova EBEs

Is what it is

[lunar thistle]

I mean this is really how they make money isn't it

[sand crown]

Yeah. Gotta farm up desire

[sturdy hatch]

Remember the EBE designed to only be beaten with all three Kanto birds? Good times

[rare swan]

The time I wasted beating it without any birds didn't really feel worth the 300 gems, I'm ngl

[rare swan]

FOMO is a basic strategy for gacha, yeah

[sand crown]

Well that’s how I feel about these ultimate battles. 300 gems for having a certain MF…and even then, tough

[rare swan]

Mhmm

I've stopped letting it bother me

It's a v low amount of gems anyway

[sand crown]

300 gems = a 90-93% chance of something that isn’t a 5*

[sturdy hatch]

You mean I could get another Roxanne?

[lunar thistle]

The 10 pair scouts start tmr right

[rare swan]

This reset

[sand crown]

Yup. I have low expectations as usual but will take any surprises

[sturdy hatch]

I need more Drasna

[lunar thistle]

There's a high chance that I'll get something right

[sand crown]

The only guarantee is you’ll get 100 pulls

[feral vale]

Meanwhile I’ll just forget about it until I can remember to do it

I still haven’t attempted last year’s Palentine BC yet lol

[rare swan]

It's okay to tap out if you can't clear a stage

[tardy fiber]

I did do only first difficulty for some EBEs, usually the lower difficulty is easier and can use brute force

So at least i get 300 / 600 gem

[feral vale]

Moreso I just forget that I need to do it

Like I haven’t even done R1 yet

[oak crest]

most of the time the s1 is doable unless you really dont have much units under that region

[rare swan]

Yeah I'll probably try and brute-force P1

[tardy fiber]

I will be so bad for paldea EBE as so far all 4 of em are skips

Im prepared

[oak crest]

samee

hhahaha

i have 0 Paldea units til date

[tardy fiber]

I have more Pasio than Paldea

[oak crest]

the only "must pull" unit for Paldea for me is a DLC char which who knows when they will be added

my "only fave" trainer

lmao

hopefully they start throwing in some free Paldea units or Paldea spotlights in the near future

[tardy fiber]

Yep

Thats why i think this half anni still probably wont be them

[oak crest]

well if they decide to add Paldea MF soon hopefully they also give type boosts for the EBE

[lunar thistle]

What if they do nothing for .5 anni

[oak crest]

if not i will be forced to use the featured pair as both a tank and dps if the pair interests me enough to pull

[lunar thistle]

And give us record low amount of gems this March

Like 15k

[oak crest]

game is heading straight for eos if they do that

15k is a joke

[lunar thistle]

Or even less

[oak crest]

if they are dumb enough to kill their fan/player base

this will make even those who throw in a few bucks a month for bundles to leave the game

[lunar thistle]

I mean no one owes Singapore a living

*PoMa

Ooo something else they could do

Increase prices of scouts

[oak crest]

if they want to go thru the same shit as year 1 they will do it

doubt their year 1 revenue and profits are fantastic

[lunar thistle]

Year 1 wasn't that bad was it

It's just the loudspeakers

[oak crest]

the game sounds like garbage at that time

no pity systtem

multis are basically singles x10

instead of 11

[lunar thistle]

Did people really whale for Glacia back then

[oak crest]

no idea

[lilac crescent]

What did I miss?

[tardy fiber]

Avoiding EBE clearance temptation

[sand crown]

Whales did, I remember people being down on the kit even back then

[lilac crescent]

Don't do it.

EBE would do something like that.

I would know. Because I wasted all my gems on Penny for it.

And I didn't even get her!

[tardy fiber]

Welp, thats why we suggest to only pull when you have pity or can form pity within banner duration

[topaz compass]

If there wasn't a pity system day 1 they added it really soon. I know it existed by the time the first pokefairs were added which was what less than 6 months?

[oak crest]

from what I heard from many people, there wasnt

[topaz compass]

I mean I lived through it, just hard to remember

[tardy fiber]

Our only pity carried system is the paid mix banner

I didn't consider move coins or scout tickets as a pity system as you can get those even though not pulling any gacha banner

[tough oriole]

? Yes there was

Scout Points were a thing since forever

You can see it in the earliest vids

[hasty umbra]

buddy you need to stop trusting whatever nonsense places like poma-lounge throw at you, pity is a day 1 feature

[lilac crescent]

I thought poma-lounge was the "place for information"

[hasty umbra]

it's the meme channel more than anything else

if you want actual info about this game then the help channels is what you should be using

[lilac crescent]

How can you tell if a person is acting dumb?

[rare swan]

You can't, but if you're serious with your question and want a good answer, go to the Help channels like here

[lilac crescent]

I see...

[lunar thistle]

Oh shit I accidentally clicked this server

[rare swan]

So why tell us about it 😭

[lilac crescent]

How.

Why.

[lunar thistle]

Bout what

[rare swan]

Accidentally clicking on this server?

[winged fossil]

i just realized something regarding this PF scout we're getting this runup

even if i was to consider candying a PF after seeing whatever anni has to offer, id want to wait till after the 100 pulls are done now

cause else i might candy just to end up with a dupe that coulda saved the candy

[dark oar]

Datamine too 😮

i'm holding my candies for what'evers coming + whatever i get for free

[winged fossil]

yea, this though makes me save for at least a couple extra days

[oak crest]

datamine should have dropped by the time you are done with the 100 pulls

[winged fossil]

it also means i wait a couple extra days before deciding if i were to touch any pf rerun banners we get (or selects if we get any within my budget, although might skip selects either way cause idk if im gonna get any sync orb bundle till after ive moved)

[chrome nest]

I’m still waiting for the day there are side pfs in master fair banners

[winged fossil]

id expect split MF banners before PFs invading MF banners

[oak crest]

the last 10 tickets will drop on day 1 of half anni I believe

(if you login everyday diligently)

[winged fossil]

yea, earliest to finish the scouts is 28th (half anni)

so we'll have one unit dropping by the end of it most likely

[chrome nest]

Is the half anni in 10 days?

[winged fossil]

yep

[chrome nest]

Cause leap hear

[winged fossil]

+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>

[chrome nest]

Year

[oak crest]

unfortunately that goes beyond poma lounge, some friends of mine said there was no pity system too when I said I was playing this 2y ago

so yeah

multiple unreliable sources

they were like saying

[lilac crescent]

It's 10 days AWAY!

[oak crest]

man this game sucks, y u playing when I say I started playing this

and when I told them there was pity system they were all like pikachu faced

[chrome nest]

It’s 9 days for me

[winged fossil]

10 resets, just over 9 days

pretty much the same thing

[tardy fiber]

Rally today, i will be able to fully claim all 20 cake vouchers

[winged fossil]

||The question is if I use my ticket first or b-line it to the SS Gladion screen.||

[chrome nest]

I’ll wait for anni datamine

[winged fossil]

I know rally's less gems but I highly prefer it to having to return to Villa every month

[zenith eagle]

|| Good luck on your pulls buddy! Hope you get 3 copies first multi ||

[tardy fiber]

Rally is better but i hope they put the 800 gems different between rally and villa to other stuff or why not just make rally give 500 gems per week

[winged fossil]

||thanks, im expecting full shaft for 1 copy. as soon as i get a copy im dipping till datamine tho||

[zenith eagle]

Hopefully not

[chrome nest]

What was that battle rally battle pass thing from the news

[feral vale]

Uhhhhh might wanna be more specific on what you mean? And if it's from the in-game news, may as well look to see what it says yourself

[chrome nest]

Alright

[dark oar]

i think that's the news one that gives you battle rally passes that will dip in like a month or something.

*Temporary Battle Rally Passes

[oak crest]

doesnt matter

i spend em all when i get it

they can expire in 1 week but they will never get the opportunity to in my acct

[chrome nest]

I guess the reason I didn’t get them is because I logged in like 2 days ago

[oak crest]

i wonder tho if they gonna give us 1 ticket for the "bug"

or the 300 gems back then was the compensation for the bug

[winged fossil]

if its ticket related comp one would not be enough for people who got it on their first attempt

is how i feel

but eh

hard to say im just expecting in small quantity

or maybe a few extra cake coin voucher

whatd be cool is if we ended up with like a multi worth between the two bugs, but i dont think dena is even that generous like ever

[tardy fiber]

The last time they gave 3k compensation is for wrong banner advertisement on twitter iirc

They mentioned pairs that are not available in the pool

[oak crest]

[tardy fiber]

Wait not banner, but its a select

[broken mulch]

Scout points is pity system

What you want and talking about is carries over pity system which is mix yeah

[tardy fiber]

Yep pity carry system

So thats why i talk about it aint that bad yesterday

As at least the pulls you done count and carried over

Than random daily discount in normal banner

Both uses paid gems

[broken mulch]

But not every gacha has the latter

Hell I know of a gacha without the first thing LMAO

It was hell

Especially since they were being transparent about the exact chance of pulling for a unit

[tardy fiber]

Cannot wait for the free pulls rate this reset

As its server side, so we cannot check it earlier

[winged fossil]

ive been so hype that i almost forgot todays entire dailies

cause ive been so focused on hyping myself up

[zenith eagle]

Made it to 50k with today's gems!!

[winged fossil]

Well Paulo and co are in the ticket pool. That’s nice

Just decided to check after having 0 five stars

[tough oriole]

If you get a Sprint or Field unit, then you’ll get a few more battle rally medals

|| to expect one but some 1% will||

[lunar thistle]

20k gems

And hopefully a decent new unit from the 10 pulls

Hell I'll even take a dupe

[broken mulch]

50k when halfversary hits, let’s go woo!

[tardy fiber]

86k gems left to see halfversary

[shadow garden]

16k left

[winged fossil]

I will say I'm a drasna owner as of today at least. Initial impression on paper, she seems fine.

Always happy about a new gen pool to play with

[chrome nest]

As a proud owner of the f2p sprint and field units, I hate battle rally when they’re both the bonus

[tardy fiber]

Im a ryuki owner today, well he's something at least and help to increase my not so big dragon roster

[feral vale]

I’m at around 55k (cannot remember atm, but still really good)

[tardy fiber]

Hopefully half anni is a skip

[chrome nest]

I’m a 10 power up owner today

sigh tickets hate me

[tardy fiber]

Im afraid more of april month than half anni

SC month is such a wild card

[chrome nest]

I don’t really care for sc

[winged fossil]

yeah i kinda want anni to be a skip so i can go for ||SC Zinnia|| if it reruns

cause a 4way banner i think id need pity for

would like a ||sc steven|| chance along the way, dont think i really care about the kits of the other two of that set

[tardy fiber]

Yep thats the scary thing, 4 faves might pop out and sc month is right after half anni... usually half anni has fat gems and the month right after is kinda dry

And if 4 faves comes out...hoo boy

Pokewar sc nightmare all over again for me

[winged fossil]

im glad that im entering anni with a full pity on hand, means i have a chance at seeing another pity

[tardy fiber]

Hopefully, kinda worry that there's still no pokemon day news

Need that 3k gem presents

[winged fossil]

||went just over halfway to pity today, pretty happy that it was anything but a full shaft considering the gemcounts lately||

[tardy fiber]

||i went to pity , wait a pity and 3k paid as i pressed wrong banner once||

DeNa why put it right next to each other

[oak crest]

not surprised if this was on purpose so that paid gem users selected the wrong banner

[tardy fiber]

That banner has even less value now that there's rally with plenty cake coins

[tardy fiber]

Probably, alas i did get 3 types of move coins...at least, kinda steep for 3k value though

Orb bundle gone to drain

[winged fossil]

||using the little icon at the bottom left takes you straight to the nonpaid banner rather than the paid||

useful for in the future in cases like this imo

[tardy fiber]

Really? I will keep this in mind

[winged fossil]

yeah, i used it to get to the screen today and learned that

[chrome nest]

At best 5 days before pokemon day

[tardy fiber]

So 23rd?

[chrome nest]

I meant the announcement so at best the 20th it would get announced

[lunar thistle]

Omg this month has almost been a miracle for me

I wanted to pull nothing

[lilac crescent]

Good for you.

[gloomy holly]

||I followed what the wheel told me and pulled for SS Gladion, 3 multis in and nothing. I have no idea why I let a wheel decide what I want||

[sly breach]

||What wheel||

[unkempt vortex]

Probably just a random name spinner or something

[sly breach]

Wait somehow i have been saving since my pity for sst Red but only have 18k gems

[unkempt vortex]

I used one to pick which unit I was gonna get from a select

[grim plover]

||Add to that wheel "6ex cheren" ||

[strange trout]

Make it 98% "EX Cheren" and then 2% "Pull banner"

[strange trout]

What does this mean

[shadow garden]

The whale tier list

[strange trout]

Like paid gems?

[shadow garden]

Yes

[strange trout]

Range difference seems too small

[shadow garden]

Bro that is supposed to be a joke

[strange trout]

Like GMax Wailord tier should easily be in the 100000+

[shadow garden]

And I didn’t make it as well

[tardy fiber]

Can get wailord tier just by getting 4 orb bundles so 80 days

[lunar thistle]

Do I feed NC Blue two candies and try for the Mina clear, or do I lose 600 gems

I could also feed SS Mina two candies

[prime quarry]

Given that a candy could be considered upward of 36.6k gems, I would take the 600 gem hit unless you wanted to candy NC Blue or SS Mina anyway

[tardy fiber]

Yep if they are already in candy plans, there's not much harm

[lunar thistle]

See what I was thinking was well, both SS Mina and NC Blue are actually good at 3/5

But I didn't actually want to candy them

That's why I'm a bit torn

[feral vale]

So don’t candy them?

[prime quarry]

If you'll use NC Blue or SS Mina regularly, it could be worth candying them, but if theyre just gonna sit there afterwards (like mine do) I wouldn't do it

[tardy fiber]

Might just wait for datamine, the EBE is still available aint it? Or it will disappear in less than 10 days?

[winged fossil]

Still have villa to do and a bunch of the gladion event missions for clear count

||I wanna find a new pfp related to the aether family tbh to celebrate gladion alt||

[dark oar]

i've got 24.9k gems atm

• about 2.4k paid gems o/

i'm chilling ii guess

its too bad i can't beat that Noivern Part 2 ;_;

[tardy fiber]

I gonna use all of my stamina today on gladion first to clear 50 runs missions. Then continue at Riley

[dark oar]

I completed everything's first clears for gems

and triedd to complete the Riley Event

Its heavy. No bonus, and

i dropped around 600 stamina (i levelled up)

I couldn't even get to his 3rd copy 😭

i'm like 98 currency short

[tardy fiber]

Yep it probably as harsh as alcremie event farm

[grim plover]

im going for riley first because hes a fav

[tardy fiber]

But as i plan to do Rally way later in the week, Riley farming can wait

Gonna done caking annilillie and sslusamine by the time riley gets 3/5

[winged fossil]

i just applied gladions feather raw to a pin

[rare swan]

we love a free fave

[winged fossil]

first unit feather ive used

tbh his pin seems lowkey better than any pin i coulda reasonably rolled for him

(and ive got a good number of pairs in all 3 of those themes i think)

tomorrow i go back to farming rileys event, just needed to pitstop to the ||gladion event for his orbs and pin/feather||

[hard wave]

I was going to do riley 3/5 but decided to do gladion’s event first (for the gems) then go back to riley

I have 400 of his vouchers atleast, im still doing dailies on the palentines event to get everything

[dark oar]

ah i'm done with the palentines events

Riley seems to need a lil more than usual so i'm gonna farm riley's event first

[hard wave]

This reset should be my final daily for pal 2024, pal 2023 I still need like 600 tickets for the ++ drinks and skill spheres, and alcremie I just need to get the codexes but I have the most important stuff atleast so its not too bad

[hard wave]

It stays all of next month atleast so im not too worried, I think I can start farming in a day or 2 after I clear gladion’s missions

[rare swan]

At least with Riley the only important item is the merges

If I can farm everything from SSG's event in time I'll try to 5/5 Riley

[hard wave]

Yeah, I only plan to get the codexes besides his copies but idc for them that much, I just like to stock up on them, spheres, and the top 2 drink tiers from events so I dont run out

[strange trout]

You can get 1 copy of Riley per day basically so no worries

[fallen path]

my plan is to get 2 copies, then do the other missions and go back for the two final copies

[lunar thistle]

I mean for obvious reasons I use NC Blue a lit

But I don't want to 3/5 it yet

[tardy fiber]

I think i can finish ssg shop in time, i just checked only good not skippable things left are the 8 5* scout tix

Just gonna complete 50 runs mission and go to Riley

So we need to do all of this before 28th, wait maybe new event starts on 29th

Oh i havent check if aether family event has a event shop

[rare swan]

I would assume so

[tardy fiber]

Because it is kinda a first event for me because i wasnt around when it first released

More medals to collect

[chrome nest]

I should have 24K gems with the remaining gems, presents and BV

Very rough estimate

[tardy fiber]

Hurm theres 1 strike move candy coin and 4 scout tix, ok it isnt that much to farm...well there's codexes buy codexes are just extras for me if there's extra time to farm

[chrome nest]

I might need to start farming the Gatorade roles again since I might level some units up and I need some more gatorades

[tardy fiber]

Kinda sad that there's no bonanza, as training area mats drop gets boosted during bonanza

[chrome nest]

Datamine probably next week right?

[tardy fiber]

Yep maybe 26

As poma day on Sunday

I hope there's dev letter tease on sunday

[chrome nest]

Possible but don’t bet on it

At most hopefully pokemon day presents announced soon

[tardy fiber]

I dont bet much, its only a day difference...just sleep and the day will arrive

I will EX bruno on poma day

I like Machamp

[chrome nest]

I should probably EX thunder red

The end goal for me is to get ex role cake now

[hard wave]

It does but its small for me (3700 total, 1200 priority)

And im assuming the aether fam is boosted, so multipliers are easy

[broken mulch]

I did a doubletake when I realized SSG event only lasted 14 days and Riley 41 days

That changed my stamina spending lol

[tardy fiber]

Kinda why im clearing ssg first

Riley is till 31 march

[hard wave]

Inb4 all the other pair up events rerun

Or atleast those 3

[tardy fiber]

I just gonna ignore other pair up event rerun if needed

800 vouchers for a 4* pu is harsh

Unless i have extra stamina to do it

[hard wave]

Maybe bugscy will rerun tho

[fallen path]

Good joke AR

[prime quarry]

Bugscy will rerun at the same time Jessie and James get grids

[zenith eagle]

||guys help me resist the temptation for Gladion?! We're so close to datamine. I can't break now||

[upbeat lotus]

If you pull him, you have to 5* 20/20 sup Machamp

[zenith eagle]

I haven't 20/20 ||Pal Serena|| yet so no way I'm doing that

[sturdy hatch]

Machamp>PSerena

[zenith eagle]

Blasphemy

[fallen path]

[zenith eagle]

Fr tho?

[sturdy hatch]

Fr I pulled PSerena because I thought her debuffs might come in useful. They never have.

Why is there temptation to pull for Gladion anyway?

[prime quarry]

You'd have to use her first Aurochs

[zenith eagle]

Imma 3k Sidney next week with her

[zenith eagle]

Loved the story, love Magearna, find it extremely cute

I know silly reasons

But yeah lol

[fallen path]

You’ll get over it tomorrow

[sturdy hatch]

Story works, Lusamine staging an attack on her son is totally on brand

[fallen path]

You in that honeymoon phase

[sturdy hatch]

Just don't look at the scouting

Tell yourself he's around for ages

[prime quarry]

He is around for ages!

[zenith eagle]

I'd like to believe what Rancer said

[prime quarry]

Way past datamine, which is important

[zenith eagle]

Yes right

[sturdy hatch]

Also you're getting 10 free pulls every day

No need for more

[fallen path]

If you pull on Gladion you’ll get 10 days of dead multis in the free pulls

[zenith eagle]

Noooo

[fallen path]

Ramos will haunt your dreams

[zenith eagle]

I really appreciate it guys

This helped a lot honestly

I'm just being impatient, like Rancer said the honeymoon phase will pass

I'll be okay

Might still get him just have to wait some more

[prime quarry]

You have plenty of time to wait, no need to rush for him

[fallen path]

Trout_K Saving Arc

[zenith eagle]

Not even looking at the scout screen or gem count till datamine

[zenith eagle]

Yessir

[fallen path]

[winged fossil]

you guys should be spoilering ||Gladion|| here considering the channel we're in, imo, just saying since youre referring to the new one and all

[sturdy hatch]

||save gems||

[lilac crescent]

||use tickets once at 10 tiks||

[winged fossil]

personally im just using them daily cause if i can get an extra field/sprint for my rally itd be useful

[lilac crescent]

That's cool. Wait, there's a dual Field and Sprint (Base or EX Role)?

[winged fossil]

there isnt yet

hoping for Paulo if i can get lucky enough, or one of the hisui people

[rare swan]

I'm sure anni will drop one

[lilac crescent]

That'd be kinda cool.

And somehow it feels stupid to me.

[hard wave]

Miraidon?

[tardy fiber]

Hoping for a fave sprint pair on anni

Mainly because i will be able to form my second sprint candy end of this month

[lilac crescent]

No. Baby Turtle.

[winged fossil]

if bikes dont get field/sprint and sprint/field then i am going to feel bamboozled to say the least

(couldnt think of the word i was gonna say at first so...went with next best thing)

[lilac crescent]

True! I agree!

[dark cliff]

Bikes?

[hard wave]

Korai and miraidon

[tardy fiber]

Cyclizar

[lilac crescent]

No. ||Although I wish for it.||

[earnest kiln]

I got ||Sygna Suit Gladion||, so I am in Gem Saving Mode... If next month has nothing I want, I might get ||Victor (Palentine's 2024)||.

[lilac crescent]

Yay!

[grim plover]

just one week until datamine

[tardy fiber]

Time to cake another fave next reset

[feral vale]

Waiting for datamine so I can make my decision, idk why I get so impatient with these

[tardy fiber]

Hopefully its before present, presents is on 27th iirc

[vernal glade]

Ya, and we know presents reveals the anniversary units.

[lilac crescent]

Wait, it does!?

[hasty umbra]

yes but given the date it really doesn't matter, datamine drops before that presentation

[lilac crescent]

Wait, when is the presents? The 21th?

[hasty umbra]

27th

[lilac crescent]

Oh thank goodness.

[vernal glade]

So, we expecting a datamine this week?

[timber wren]

unknown really

could be friday, could be monday

[lilac crescent]

What if it was on Saturday?

[vernal glade]

They never do datamine on weekends

[lilac crescent]

I wonder why.

[strange trout]

Because they work normal office hours, no weekends

[lament arch]

Datamine on 26th

[strange trout]

Honestly, probably

I'd be pleasantly surprised if it was Friday, but most likely Monday imo

[broken mulch]

Friday looks way too damn early really

[grim plover]

march datamine is often early

in fact, it has been always on the 24 lol

[rare swan]

Judging by Dena's recent tendency to push datamines to Monday if they'd usually fall on dates that are weekends this year, I'm thinking Monday too

[tardy fiber]

Hope there's no faves, need to recover from pity

Well i have 2 more pities, but losing one does hurt a bit

Especially with kinda mediocre amount of monthly free gems lately

[dark oar]

hum Monday will be nice i guess.

Tuesday is gonnaa be rough for me ;_;

my data will cry at me if i updated the game for it 😭

[rare swan]

Tuesday feels way too late

Monday is comfy

[dark oar]

For tuesday, the planned event is 8 hours after our reset

[tardy fiber]

Well we got 29 feb this year thus i think it might be Monday

Extra day this year

[crude glacier]

Pray for surprise gems / rally guys

Especially on Pokémon day

[rare swan]

We should get 3k gems after the presso

[hard wave]

There better be or else we’ll be depresso

[rare swan]

😔

[fallen path]

I expect nothing

Minimal expectations

[upbeat lotus]

This is the way

Cant get disappointed if you dont have high expectations

[lean mango]

hey nothing better to do than look up and DeNa might drop gems from the sky idk

[tardy fiber]

They still owe us 2 apologems

[hard wave]

Apoloskip tickets*

[tardy fiber]

At least give extra rally pass

[oak crest]

i would love an extra rally pass or gems

both are good

tho I already cleaned out all the cake tix this month I can buy 5* PUs with extra tix

[hard wave]

You’re getting your 5k coins and you will be happy

[fallen path]

I like that there’s a limit on one rally pass a week tbh

[hasty umbra]

after the hellish run I got yesterday I gotta agree

[oak crest]

[fallen path]

[oak crest]

i dont need that coins when i already have >100million of that thing

[tardy fiber]

I dont mind more passes because of my experience at the end of January rally rush before the rally shop refreshes

[lilac crescent]

I used up all my passes when I got them.

[fallen path]

I was sick that day so I was doing them while I had issue breathing

[tardy fiber]

Only manage to claim 17/20 coin vouchers from January shop because i was asleep in the last run

[fallen path]

I didn’t do all the passes because I passed out

[lilac crescent]

[tardy fiber]

Luckily i already claimed all cake coin vouchers for February so all of my extra medals are backup for March's shop

Not gonna use it on 5* PUs as long as there's risk for a bad run

Or until i have big enough roster full of niche roles

[sturdy hatch]

I think I got 19 I literally had enough in the final run but you have to finish the run, can't quit

[tardy fiber]

I was asleep and forgot about it, and didn't manage to finish the run...the shop refreshes

[fallen path]

Can’t get them back, but I cleared all of them already this month

[tardy fiber]

I just gonna let it go, like i did missed couple of sinnoh tickets due to forgetting that i havent do sinnoh VA that day

Not gonna be sad or heartbroken due to it

Also missed a couple of EBE gems in the past

[hard wave]

I was dumb and got the PUs first I missed the final voucher by 50

And im 750 away from the final coin voucher this time then I can try and get some PUs

[tardy fiber]

I just gonna claim coins, i got a steady amount of especially after done making all non eggmon pairs 5*

I just gonna save 20 silver PUs for lodge pair and convert others to gold PUs

[hard wave]

I still have 11, and im missing tina, 3 lodge units, bugscy (who has his own powerups anyway), and jessie/james

[tardy fiber]

Oh i also miss jessie james but as they're kinda collab like, i will worry about their PUs once i actually got them

[winged fossil]

finally i can grid today

[tardy fiber]

I still need 1 more day to 3/5

[broken mulch]

I’ve been neglecting Riley’s event too much

[tardy fiber]

I started to do it earnestly, after my final fight in rally need to use him

I already used my other sprint pairs

Had to throw 1/5 Riley against Palmer

[oak crest]

im 85 tickets away from 5/5 Riley

[lilac crescent]

Gotten 4 tickets now.

[vernal glade]

I’m probably gonna save Riley event for later. Need to get some stuff from the rerun event this reset and alcremie stuff

Since Riley event goes on for a while, should max him out.

[lilac crescent]

I saw people already EX him and I am still wondering why.

[lilac crescent]

Good for you, my... friend?

[prime quarry]

Mostly just to meme

[lilac crescent]

Thought it was because they were impatient

Wait, so it was for the funny?

[grim plover]

because he's a t0 fav

[lilac crescent]

So it was and wasn't for the funny then...

[prime quarry]

For me it was for the funny

I get to keep his custom power ups in my bag forever!

[fallen path]

But resource management

[prime quarry]

I'm managing my gems

[tardy fiber]

Finally people realised why i EX victrier day 1 last time

[fallen path]

How are those powerups

[grim plover]

i can afford this because i saved lots of PU tickets

[fallen path]

Having unused powerups will drive me up the wall so I can never do it

Good things happen to those who wait..

[tardy fiber]

I wait for Riley though as he aint fave

i will also EX him later, but not EXR that's only for faves

[crude glacier]

It should be a given but don’t ex Riley unless you want to waste your 5* powerups

In this game patience is the key to everything

[crude glacier]

(Ik you guys won’t do it but some people may see the messages (nick’s name also) and think about it)

[crude glacier]

daily 2 powerups for him

[crisp grotto]

||I'm one of the people who EX'd him early but|| it's absolutely a terrible decision in terms of resource management, no contesting that

20 PUs can be pretty valuable

[prime quarry]

Potentially two more EXes, so yeah, just use his instead of the general ones

[tardy fiber]

Im happy, now more people feel why i EXed victrier day 1

[hard wave]

Its still a bad idea tbh, ig if you have tons of powerups and dont mind the custom ones sitting in your bag its fine

[fallen path]

Resource wise it is a bad idea, no denying that

[tardy fiber]

True

[fallen path]

You have to stare at those victor powerups for the rest of your life!

[tardy fiber]

Not really, i just wait for his rerun and convert to

At event shop

At least his will be quicker than Riley rerun

[hard wave]

Also I think kit wise Riley is better and even has an EX outfit guess it doesnt matter if you prefer not to use EX styles tho

[hard wave]

~~if it happens ~~

[hasty umbra]

it's dumb and there isn't anything actually funny about it, people only did it to infuriate others (Riley that is)

[tardy fiber]

Well spectrier is nice, plus none of my bp master pairs even have EX

Non EX styles doesnt matter me much like i did EX bunch of lodge pairs just because i like the pokemon

Like cradily, gigalith

Oh exeggutor too

But still havent EX pre evolution lodge pairs, they havent grown up on me yet

[lilac crescent]

True!

[oak crest]

The pain have to do another run and waste more stamina

[lilac crescent]

Hey... at least you get more tomorrow.

[oak crest]

Nah

I went ahead and spent the last 20 stam

Wanted to be done with this for good

Was for my 5/5 copy for this 1

[hard wave]

Why didnt you just do the 10 stamina stage

[oak crest]

Habit

[dark cliff]

Ohhhjj

That makes a lot more sense

[rare swan]

I think we will definitely be getting a Sprint/Field (or vice versa) unit in the upcoming datamine

That's all I've got RE predictions though

[prime quarry]

Did you Guess a Sync Pair?

[broken mulch]

I still can’t imagine the kit a sprint/field would have haha

[prime quarry]

They tend to be techy but have extra sync accel or field utility respectively

Vorton excepted

[grim plover]

Pheromosa Fighting (Sprint) Nihilego Rock (Field)

[lilac crescent]

If it's not Juliana with Field + EX Role: Sprint. I might be mad.

[tardy fiber]

I put Florian and Juliana in my sync pair guess

Had to search official artwork to pair them with the lizard that has the same school colour

[lilac crescent]

They'd probably get added but Juliana would probably be the canon protagonist since Nemona is in Orange Academy attire.

[tardy fiber]

Yeap juliana is from orange academy in official artwork, florian from purple

So i put Juliana Koraidon as guess

Oh also Selene Zeraora as third guess

[lilac crescent]

Not really but kinda.

They're both since in both attires.

[lilac crescent]

🤝

[tardy fiber]

Oh darn

I forgot melmetal also fit alola pride

[lilac crescent]

But Melmetal's only found in Kanto ||and irl if your counting GO||

[tardy fiber]

Ash found it at alola

[lilac crescent]

Anime's different from games.

[tardy fiber]

Well at least easier to port if its given to alola, instead of wishing for pogo collab

[lilac crescent]

The Alola games are on the 3DS though and we all know that’s shutting down completely soon.

[tardy fiber]

Big gems this reset

[lilac crescent]

Really?

[tardy fiber]

Because got aether family event

1690 gems reset

[uneven pewter]

🏴‍☠️

[lofty ice]

i still kinda wanna get a 3ds just for the aesthetic and authentic feel but i’ve already started playing with some games on the laptop, and i need to get mine fixed/a new one so they can actually run well lol

[lilac crescent]

I got a 3DS when the switch came out. I was attracted to that thing because I could play one of my favorite games.

Wait, we're getting off topic.

[tardy fiber]

Another fave to give cake next reset ...i love rally, its just i hope they bump it to 500 gems a week instead of 300 to cover differences with villa gems

[sand crown]

Good luck with that

I am willing to make peace with the deficit for the easier coins

*cakes

[tardy fiber]

Well getting more gems isnt bad

[dark oar]

currently at uh 28k 😮

• 2.7k paid gems

[tardy fiber]

Nice, im at 87k

[dark oar]

i'm ready what the new month gives o/

[tardy fiber]

Hopefully no faves next month

[topaz compass]

I hit 100k gems again

[timber wren]

congrats! big accomplishment

[lilac crescent]

Everyone clap! Congrats!

👏

[topaz compass]

"And then everyone clapped"

i looked at missions and we get the medal for family ties

the colored one

[lilac crescent]

4☆ Family Ties?

[winged fossil]

yea

So happy to have this medal as an aether family simp

[tardy fiber]

Im still missing maxie and archie event medals, bea + nessa event, raihan event, lance + cynthia, nate event, lisia event, volkner event, gloria event, sskantrio event

[hard wave]

Im missing like 21, atleast 7 of them ill never get cuz old seasonal events + battle buffet

[tardy fiber]

Although it's probably monday, i still have very very very slim hope datamine is today well the earlier the better

[oak crest]

They probably will rerun them some day when they want to

Since they suddenly reran this old event

[tardy fiber]

I hope they change Gloria event, like change it to her searching for fine foods or something and award the same fine diner medal

[oak crest]

Loool, so called fine diner yet makes poisonous foods like chocolate curry

[grim plover]

nah, impossible

but gauntlet ends in two resets so there's a small chance then

[hard wave]

A very small chance, its a weekend

Its either in 5.5 hrs or in 77.5 hrs, I dont think they’d do it like 9 hours before the presents

[grim plover]

well it has happened before. And march datamine has always been on the 24

[hard wave]

Yeah but bcz its a weekend its 99% not happening

[tardy fiber]

They did give us dev letter tease in one of the weekend's poma day before this, well at least there's that but no datamine though

[grim plover]

hopefully at least that

[tardy fiber]

Yep news about some pairs are better than zero news

[hard wave]

That was for SCs last april

I doubt we’d get anni teasers rn tho, considering its anni and they’ll do a public reveal for the presents

I forgot if kanto NCs were part of the last presents or it was just nemona

[oak crest]

Nemona only

The anni pairs were only known after they dropped the update

[sturdy flower]

presents is during anni or day before?

we will have a datamine monday-tuesday probably

[rare swan]

Presents is the day before anni

[sturdy flower]

so datamine + presents same day most likely, i see

[rare swan]

Not really

Datamine will likely be Monday, Presents Tuesday, Anni Wednesday

At least, if we follow the pattern from previous years

[zenith eagle]

Datamine today cope

But it's most likely Monday

[upbeat lotus]

Cope harder

[rare swan]

[lilac crescent]

I mean like, wouldn't Presents reveal the Anniversary pairs anyways?

[dark oar]

maybe.

[rare swan]

Usually, yes

[lilac crescent]

They did the thing with the Galarian Neo Champions tho...

[hard wave]

Yeah, but we’d know them because datamine

[lilac crescent]

I thought the datamime reveals units of next month.

[upbeat lotus]

anni is basically next month tho

[lilac crescent]

Today is February 22th 2024 on a Thursday in Eastern Time Zone.

[tardy fiber]

I remembered that the anniN MF batch, the presents are earlier than datamine and they revealed anni N, i was like cool, then datamine comes and there's annilillie and annisteven too, im glad i saved a lot before that

[upbeat lotus]

today in Japan is a national holiday: #poma-lounge message, so likely no datamine today

[tardy fiber]

Turns out annilillie is earlier than anniN

For banner release

[lilac crescent]

I see.

[tardy fiber]

Iirc annimay also revealed earlier than raihan and skyla, dena like drop a half anni trailer early and shows annimay

Raihan and skyla shown during presents but we already got datamine so no surprise there

Hopium for Sunday dev letter

[upbeat lotus]

[tardy fiber]

I need more than just cake sssteven and bruno EX that day

Oh can finally grid acerola too

[dark oar]

Like last year? we got Icon Update on twitter?

iirc it was 24th of Feb we got that twitter update.

[tardy fiber]

Like palentine marnie and bea

They tease them on dev letter before datamine

Hope got some skips

I dont feel too safe with less than 100k

Plus SC month is right after this

[chrome nest]

Do they ever do datamines on friday?

[tardy fiber]

Yep as long as its not weekends

[chrome nest]

Watch as datamine is today

[tardy fiber]

But dev letter can appear during weekends

They probably already timed its release

[hard wave]

They usually start at the end of the month

Like cmarnie was february 28th iirc or 27th

Along with multiple units who are the first to come

[tardy fiber]

Oh right, i need to grab orb bundles today hopefully there's no issues as i did have issues in pogo where it says my playstore is of different country, but no issue in honkai star rail payments

[oak crest]

dang u have multiple paid subscriptions to different games

[lilac crescent]

Be happy this isn't one of them.

[tardy fiber]

Well pogo just one time pay because shiny shaymin research is cheap

But niantic doesn't want my money

Star rail aint even a subscription, i can stop buying it anytime i wanted

[lilac crescent]

Kinda wish GO and Masters had a crossover.

[chrome nest]

Willow and Meltan unit

[tardy fiber]

Hope so but if its not a fave i will still skip

[lilac crescent]

True. I argee!

[tardy fiber]

Ss Chase Meltan, Ss Elaine Mega Mewtwo X

[zenith eagle]

What do you mean by this? It's not good spending money on this game?

[lilac crescent]

I'm not saying that. But majority of the pairs come from Poké Fairs which are mostly free gems.

[tardy fiber]

I grab orb bundle as it funds my select scout pulls

9k paid gems in 2 months

[zenith eagle]

Same I've bought this

[tardy fiber]

Also a cheap 9k paid compared to usual gem offer

Like orb bundle only cost me myr14.90 for 3k paid, but current run up to anni gem bundle costs myr29.90 for only 1.3k paid

Twice the cost for less than half of gems

[hard wave]

You get the one material rare than gems, sync orbs

[tardy fiber]

Well because coin bundle costs myr99.90 for 7k paid gems

So i rather swim in sync orbs

I can buy 6 orb bundle for 1 coin bundle

So 18k gems versus 7k + yellow candy

[zenith eagle]

Nothing except the orb bundle or the PML/CS bundle are good value honestly

[tardy fiber]

Yep

[zenith eagle]

I also play HSR btw and get the monthly pass

[tardy fiber]

Well ash bundle are great but it only appear once

[tardy fiber]

But i will stop buying after this 37 days ended because nothing that i wanted in next patch

[zenith eagle]

It just seems more worth it than topping up

All you need is a little patience

[tardy fiber]

Yep these things are great thats why its timegated

And thats why i keep buying orb bundles eventhough skip month
