#Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)
1 messages · Page 167 of 1
just in time to guarantee 2 anni if you keep up, nice
i can only hope for the top sync pair in anni , as I'll only manage 36.6 k till October

I'm getting closer to my goal!
I'm having trouble getting gems in general but yall think imma give up on getting the submas twins?
NO.
Dude you should see the guy who’s been waiting for SC Diantha’s rerun for literal months
Way too long if you ask me 
................................
y i k e s
welp that lost my hope a little

Oh no I’m just saying their persistance is remarkable :0
Frfr
But
thats insane that SC diantha haven been reruned for alot of months
This got me worried a little😭😭
They’re not in the same caliber tho
yeah pokefairs rerun significantly more often than sc's
If you look at the logic of it all, Emmet and Ingo have higher chances due to being base PF’s. Their SC’s debuted a year after SC Diantha’s, a different base banner/event. Also there’s a chance they’ll combine the SC’s from their event into one banner again.
Months? Almost 2 years
September 2022
Iirc
SCs are like that

Y I K E S
they REALLY need to rerun sc diantha then
You can wait for paid select banners if you can afford them
Skipping an SC means you're getting one group rerun and that's likely it as f2p
Even SC selects are rare
SC selects running during anni is a possibility
just pray for both SC submas noy sharing the same banner
please if they share the same banner if they rerun
This is what I will do to the game:

it is the most likely outcome unfortunately
since all previously rerun SCs were put on the same banner (iirc)
Why would you not want them to be in same banner
Unless they release multiple SC selects at once
yea i feel like thats the best outcome lol
even if split rates
We are talking about paid selects guys. You are allowed to pick one
Unless you are extremely lucky
then yea being on the same banner would suck 
We never got more than a SC select at same time
Well I'm f2p so paid banners sadly
impossible for me
Well they were splitted into 2 selects in 2022 #1142434215208702073 message
Honestly
I only wanted the normal versions not the SC
Cuz ik SC banners take a long time to rerun so I just wanted the normal versions of the duo
Gakon i appreciate ur help but I'm f2p
cries-

Hi

Yes the wait has been too long
test
Hi are you need of assistance?
I think they just wanted to join the channel without it disappearing, I recommended it earlier
thanks for asking
They need to do smth about old SC/seasonal banners
yes
Has it really been almost 2 years since her last free rerun?

Wow SC is kinda tough as they are not fixed to a particular season
Although so far, Variety is harder overall, there's only eeveelution banner that reruns consistently
Yes
I await her patiently

🔘 <t:1635487200:D>
1️⃣ <t:1662616800:D> (Super 

)
💰 <t:1694498400:D> (SC Scout x11 Select)

thank god i got her from 2022 rerun D:
This is a little outdated tho afaik
Oh wow they’re the pairs whose last rerun was the longest ago #1142434215208702073 message
oh :O and same month as lear's last rerun too
wait i have a bunch of the story mode Hard uncompleted because gem stash
i should do that before updating
15k free gems we are so back
3 faves 
||Scream tail?||
let's put it in spoiler tag Justin Case
Well if needed, i can just skip selects
So currently like 117k gems in total
Plus those selects are for lodge purposes only, so not really my faves...right, i just gonna skip selects then
Although||not many pairs revealed||, smells like hidden half datamine
we can expect +35k gems this month 
Probably to prevent pokemon presents oopsie like last year
Oh daym ||nemona appears consistently|| in two run up to anni lol
She is the next red
I’m at 15,030 gems now 🔥🔥🔥
||NC Galar|| return, so i can save for Adaman rerun
||Looks to be a skip month. For me. Time to continue saving for me.||
Im kinda sad now, ||i guess the loyal trio and pecharunt are my only hope for more poison faves||
||nemona|| is the new consistent anni bait
Yep next red 
Oh right this might start a new trend, what if 1 new dc pair every month 
There's dcblue on august
They might gonna do it for all rivals, so that includes dc tierno 
free unit :O
she is the new Steven
oak!!!
I got pity......I GOT PITY THANKS TO THE FREE GEMS
AJAJAJAAJAJSJSJSJSJSJHSNSJSJJSJJD
im SOOOO spending these bad boys for the submas twins,AHAHHHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
JUST YOU WAIT❗❗
Thats nice 
I'm still waiting for the reruns tho🤌🤌
With a free EX role?
i think it's the same as Riley's event
Oh
you have to spend your cake on him
Oh if that, sorry oak, i just gonna give you EX but no EXR
Im still behind schedule for EXR my faves, like there's 8 faves in line
Oak Mew EX lets gooo 
Now only left bp master pairs without EX
alola red is coming for sure
Better give us lodge red too 
Oh right, blue is still missing special lodge pic right?
So 9th blue
yes 
is 15k gonna be included in next month gem count
You might can get them from free 100 pulls 
......ur joking right vantner??
I SEE THAT TABITA EMOJI!!
:^
There's another free champion, right?
Welp I'm still pretty interested in that free 100 pulls banner
I see larry and Lance
I pull
So is every single limited sync pair is in that 100 pulls banner or the just ones who are featured in it?
Last year it was every poke fair iirc with the general pool ofc
No rate up, equal rates for all 5*
Oh......SO I HAVE A CHANCE?!!?!??
IM GETTING MY HOPES UP
we'll have to check what's in it when it goes live 😮
IM SO HYPPPEEEEEDDDDDDD
it should be every Poke Fair up to Greta's release based on the banner image
......

yeah the chance to get pair(s) you want is very low
FU---
can I curse?
Cuz
Ehem
FUUUUUU---
do these banners have pity tho??
They do not 😦
Every ticket is random
True like i got 3 skip months, before getting good months
Helps to increase your gem savings
Wait, is anyone getting 15k gems staight away as well? Its the story restructuring thing 
if you've eclearerd main story, then yea. otherwise, complete it to recieve the full rewards
Thanks!
nice to lower the barrier of entry to newbies too
expecting an influx on anni i suppose
also the coop orbs! a whole extra 14 grid energy
i find myself compelled to add the energy a lot so actually quite useful
Crazy that they are releasing a MF as a run up unit, I wonder what Anni will look like
Finally they implement more free co-op orbs for newbie, that is my toughest bottleneck in the past
Same with ssgladion, he is released on run up to half anni iirc
they did the same with SS Gladion before 4.5, expect them to continue the trend
Have they done this before?
Oh
Well at least that means only 2 new on anni 
5 new masterfairs for 5th anni?
Oooh, true
Like ssgladion on run up and then ncsilver+geeta on half anni
Actually, coping that this means Primals for Anni
Hope so, or bike lizards if they want to push paldea
Got our first paradox 
So another 20+ that i need to watch out for 
For UBs, only xurkitree, kartana, guzzlord left
Anni datamine 1 month away... easy
have you counted shinies and dupes yet
Hope they stopped with the dupe with only celesteela 😂
Although i dont mind if one of em becomes bug teamwork
Kinda sad ||now i dont have much reason to use regirock||
Maybe good if there's second rock team, terrakion is still available although it might follow its sword justice bros and be fighting
arceus and origin giratina mayhaps...
They said this upcoming one is the finale for stones chapter so yeap, maybe anni MF is related to the stones arc 
they only mentioned the lance chapter in the message and not the rei+cynthia+volo one hm
is it going to be a double story update or are they dropping that one later
Probably later and just placing the pic asset earlier
So the stones like paulo interlude section is over 
At least paulo interlude got new VA story in between
This stone interlude progress is kinda dry
Wow there's reruns tab now
I thought my hoenn VA expired
We’re almost at the surprise?
Kinda because this august is the final entry
So anni probably will be paulo VA equivalent starts 
Before this is just paulo interlude
Also we probably aint EoS as dena dev said they plan for 5th year anni and beyond

Sad
Anyways
What do yall think about this update??
Here's my pros and cons
Pros:
NEW TITLE THEME WOAH
15K FREE GEMS!? F@CK YEAHH
100 FREE PULLS!?!?!?!?
||AVREN!?!?!??||
||ELIO!?!?!??!||
NEW STORY STUFF!?!?!?
NEW DAILY BANNER YESSSSS!!!!
and now
my cons:
no ingo rerun.......b r u h
(AND NO EXR FOR HIM YET YIKES)
and no submas rerun in general..........double bruh
THAT 100 PULL BANNER HAS NO PITY!?!!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!?
you have too spoil the 'new' banner units
OOP
LET ME DO THAT REAL QUICK
Much better👍👍
So my summary of my opinion of this update is:
I LOVE IT
WE GET FREE PULLS AND STUFF,THATS PERFECT FOR AN F2P LIKE ME
but.....
im skipping this month anni datamine comes out
Wait I read it wrong
I spoiled everything and I didn't realized that I have to spoil the new units wait😭😭--
i got one character i want to pull for, a fav for free and a character i like has a mid kit so i dont feel bad for skipping ||him ||
plus 15k gems for free so im ready for anni
SAMEEEEEE
I'm very close to pity👌👌
I'm pretty close to beating my 50K non-paid record for doing nothing 
My gem count on username is completely wrong now 
Free 15k gems?
YESSS
Story adjustment apparently gives more
+freegems
Waoh
What's with the story adjustment
Apparently it gives better rewards and some stages are removed
Oh cool
From what I check, I think those stages with multiple battles are gone
But I’m not sure 
Also they mentioned its only for PML arc, 10180 from pml now got additional 15770
DeNa, now revamp VA next 
9000 gems + 30 scout tickets from each region 
baasiclly, the deev letteer saaid that the gem + awaardss maadde it for newbies to get engaged with the game aand its current environment
so orr long time players, its just changes for the rewards.
Snap this pic for the last time 😭 ||it will decrease soon||
I probably have more if ||i didnt grab Rika, but too bad, i like her style and character||
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>
Usually
September is the anni month
Oh next month
So if the anni will start in August 28
So....
when will the anni datamine happen??
Probably 25 or 26
23-26 august
27th maybe?
26th
23 Friday, 26 monday
As there's presents on 25
We had some 23-24th datamines
OH
OK
NOW IM HYPEDDDDDDD
I don’t think Annimines has happened on 23rd before
Legends Z-A tease please 
If this update is amazing AND BIG
imagine the 5th anni
Its only one time big, because the story revamp rewards. Average monthly probably still gonna be 22-24k
Well at least we might get 3k gems from presents
POKEMON LEGENDS Z A PLSSSSSSSSS
(I gotta admit,I was HEARTBROKEN when I saw the new pokemon legends game being a kalos game,my unova and johto fan heart was BREAKING INTO PIECES)
Bad battle rally boost, so i guess i gonna lazily do it this week
wrong channel ;o
Anyways
gotta go back farming gems to reach pity
300 gems resource 
save this month
How to farm gems, there's only rally and daily mission
, dry reset
Just login for an hour and close back poma 
Ahahahahha.....
I haven't complete most of legendary arena and didn't unlocked rally yet
Nice more gems 
I think only cresselia is tough for newbie,

Y'know
When you guys said that there was 15k gems
I thought it was 15k for this month
Ok
Oh
Well
I'm now at slightly above 2 pity and it's another fullskip month
That's more than I had planned
Anyone can update
please don't make the same question in multiple channels
13k more till pity
Did we get to claim the gems today?
Yes, just by updating
Happy with extra co-op orbs as well, kinda nice as i plan to start to make my non 5/5 faves to be 66 energy 
Reached 200k thanks to those 15k
i thought this as well haha ("gem count straight away huh??? why so low???")
the free 15k plus me actually just going through PML hard mode to finish off those stages
Do we have confirmation that the select that will be up this month are 5k paid?
that seems to be for seasonals
Fed mentioned about the selects this month
Thank you!
That’s quite nice, I guess we can expect the 5k triple banners to come for the actual anniversary
Lots of saving needed for the paid gems too
yep
Did gem count come out anywhere yet?
I had to skip selects, they at least will pop up again on half anni, gonna keep my paid gems as backup funds if needed 
I'm just picking some collection pairs meanwhile
and also considering dailying for that ||Lucas/SS Dawn|| banner for my Psychic collection
Probably around 35k
So do you guys think there will be 4 selects this year for anni? What I might do is get the champion bundle on the 25th to buy 1 seasonal of my choice then wait for the 5k selects
If theres 4 selects that means I’m short 1.5k gems for the 20k gems needed
But if there’s just 3 like previously then it’s just good to do the 1 seasonal and 3 selects
And I’ll have 500 extra
I think its probably 3k
Thanks to the 15770 gems look this gems count
Anni is more special than half anni, so probably cheaper
Ny and half anni selects costs 5k lately
Wait there's an option to show gem count in main screen
I didn't know that
Burn your stamina, next reset is still a dead reset although there's new damage challenge but thats it 
I think there's 3 5K selects and 2 3K selects during September
but that's just speculation based on previous patterns
Do you think those 2 3K selects are happening early on the 25th with all the seasonals?
the seasonal selects has been usually the first ones of the anni
but I'm probably misunderstooding your question 
Oh
I’m just trying to figure out since we have had so many pokefairs
That there will be a 4th 5k select instead of the usual 3
that's fair
we only see Selects for Seasonals.
Wdym
5k Selectss are typically Pokefairs, they're not in this datamine iirc.
Wait for 26th August
, its Monday so the datamine probably appear during that time 
As 25th Sunday will be poma day and presents
And 23rd Friday feels too early
I think its better this way
Hopefully otherwise i can see them dropping 3 masters fairs on us per usual
unless they drop 3 mf as usual
nastiest thing was the time frame to scout for nc galar trio
Im not fine with it, as ||ssnemona|| only lasts till 18th sept and not whole of sept
Youll get the bulk of the anni gems by then
Will be more comfortable if they extend the duration for the ones that release earlier
Remember they tend to frontload september
||my fave UBs|| gone right before ||mf fave release|| is also harsh 
But probably the trend for PF to lasts for around 2 weeks plus
look at this, not even an entire week
Yep that one is truly a bait
Can wait for poma day if you willing to wait
Poma day MF
oh thats what you meant
Yeap that why i felt dejavu
Last anni bait are johtrio right
Same short duration banner too
And now they become poma day MF
Except sskris 
ss kris probably coming in september poma day
This daily scout change is pretty fire
indeed
Curious who the pool of characters will be
Been saying for a while old pokefairs needed to be in the general pool
we'll have to wait for it to drop
I am actually shocked to see ball guy
1 unit
It's better than current daily scout
Since he’s a pretty recent variety
Lol
18 months
At least it's a free daily 
^
But seeing gardenia in the pic
, so 3* and 4* pairs can still happen
Ooh yay 15K extra for my gem bucket
....duh?
It's basically a free daily on mix
I thought it is all 5* when i first read about it 
It's not a daily scout if there is no 3 or 4*
I can’t believe surprise payday is gonna push me over 6 pities 
360 dailies a year on 3% limited odds would be such an insane upgrade
Nah no new PFs and no mix red and blue
Eventually they will add something to the ticket pools to chase after besides gold ticketd
Still great
I think we will get hit th a reality check
Wait if pf selects are only 5k,should i spend my 3k paids this month in a seasonal or wait another year to get daily gem ex bundle again
with that 7% 5 star odd
and only 1/3rd of the chance of it being limited
compared to spotlights
kinda like last half anni
Do you really want to select a Pokefair
uh the seasonaal selects will extend into September iirc.
So you can wait for Late August Datamine.
Waiting for 1 year might not be worth it since the sync pair you want might rerun in non paid banners during the period
Tbh im not sure anymore
Who cares, can't be worse than current daily pull
I don't rlly have a fave list or hit targets anymore
You should save then
Pokefairs are becoming worse value compared to masters if non faves
I decided its far easier to make a fave list once I finish every mainline Pokemon game
So unless it’s a fave
Seasonal selects ends at 4th September, wait for next datamine probably
You’re setting yourself up for disappointment
So you can get clear pic of the selects that will happen on anni
Yea fair selects came in September the last two years
And seasonal selection came first
Albeit last year was the shitty rocket variety scout


That was a year ago?
Yep
There's also Palmer iirc
And to think it could have gotten worse from then
I think the backlash against it was loud and clear
I'm still wondering why the Akala Variety didn't rerun
Albeit none of the rockets have been available outside of premium banners since then
yea
At least other villain variety will be at max 4 pairs now. Galactic will be tough, saturn/jupiter/mars/cyrus 
Oh right team skull variety happens without variety gladion
Please no 
I’m still wondering why SC Diantha + PokeWar hasn’t gotten a rerun in ages
I've been trying to guess Akala Variety for my predictions for 2 months by now
They haven’t reran tea party either
Because too many new SC and its time for their turn to rerun, so Pokewar second rerun gets pushed further
At least the badges
and I feel like the detective SC will fall under that place too
don't forgot how there's no Spring rerun this year
Eh, DLC characters have rival niche too
Kabu is one of the most popular gym leaders ever, like Rahian
True but Greta low key reeked of spotlight
Wait the step up is during Ash release, because i remembered that i used 10k paid gems from welcome ash bundle to do the step up
Pokewar sc step up
I know they reran Ideal Formula one time, didn’t get another rerun after that, the first SC event, not another rerun event after they reran it.
||iirc there was a non-paid banner version of it as well||
Yep that time have non paid, but also got step up
Just like normal sc step up
Although 10k paid for all step
Anyways time for me to collect my gems today.
Won’t the anni datamine be out before he leaves?
Yep
Probably 26th
As 25th is sunday and potentially pokemon presents
They gone on 28th
so around 25k this month excluding present and story gems?
25.5k is actually a decent number for once
gem count is healing
I was honestly expecting 22K considering that 15.7K bonus
and the potential 3K Presents gift
When's presents?
where's the schedule!
you mean this?
What’s the 72 hour banner thing
do note the rates are unknown
it's mostly a nice banner for newer players to pull on
Free or Gems?
That banner uses non paid gems

@crisp grotto
Sheesh that’s 40k gems not including the gift nor the referral
thanks for your work tlim
41K SHEEEESSSHHHH
7 tech candy coin is a bit oof
Next month i can form an omni candy... and my 4th sprint candy
I can only get 3 candies including the candy bundle one
Gonna be tough month for me because I don’t have any good dark or fairy types, but anni is right there too
Alright! Anniversary is around the corner and multiple new units are coming, mostly favorites. It's time to put your game faces on and stockpile them gems.
did the adjustment finally give us a good gem count?
just did
is the referral thing still up?
i think now I could convince someone to try

after the new banner launches
I dont think so
Ended 2+ weeks ago
My dumb ahh still salty about ingo not having a rerun nor exr for now
Welp
saving is still a thing and I'm skipping this month (execpt for the free pulls)
Ingo was rerunning every other week at some point
hey where's the gem count?

Guess I am THAT unlucky then😭😭
PLS MOLTRES LG NEXT MONTH PLSSSSSSSSSSS
Double checking this month's 25k is without the story 15k gems right?
yes
Update made me rich
(a little)
Also anyway hi gem zen 
How tf did they decide to do 9 sprint and only 4 field
I think it's only because CS gives 4 Sprint Coins
Wait it gives the same coin every week for a month, each month rotating?
yep
Yeah that's how coin from CS goes
it has always been like that since the introduction of Master Mode
Definitely something I never looked back at to look for pattern
I'm gonna reach 4 sprint and field candies soon i think
Never got a sprint or field unit outside the free ones
I'm reaching it soon too
but that's mostly because I have a bad habit of hoarding resources 
Progress
I didn’t know that either
how tf every 2nd pair is a strike lately
they went from oops it's all tech to oops it's all strike despite of adding 2 new styles
Wow plenty sprint move coins yet DeNa still gives me 0 sprint faves 
i've got 3 sprint candies and nobody to give to .-.
For now, my sprint coverage for rally mostly comes from faves sprint EXR 
i love dena (。・ω・。)ノ♡ so much free gems before anniversary yay
ok we are eating real good this month
Good thing I'm skipping them <33
not saying I have no interest in galar and paldia (I think thats how you spell it)
Its just not my fav regions--
(But Larry and leon are my boys)
Are u so sure about 3? 🙂 This generous month is so suspicious
Hrm neat
Fifth Anni - possibly 5 Anni pairs to gacha? 
The event update will be a great QOL, making an only one currency event coin so the same currency can be used over multiple events
Useful especially in seasonal events where they are like 2 different event currency and burghepi event even have a bunch of different egg currency
Yes I'm quite enjoying it
Despite the low gem counts, DeNA knows how to make a fun game that's good for players imo
I don't like this tho, I don't want my gem count in my face reminding me of the worst part of the game 
Oh right is it the total gems or it is only free gems amount that gets shown
I hope they split it, although it will look bigger but i dont want to use my paid gems unnecessarily if needed, so its nice to know the actual spendable gems amount 
It seems I will be able to get everything I want next month, but if push comes to shove and ||Arven|| takes me to Pity or uses lots of Gems, I may have to put off getting ||Sygna Suit Nemona|| for a few days in order to guarantee ||Bede (Champion)|| as his banner lasts only six days.
I am sitting at 85k Gems rn, I am also getting Paid Gems, I have 15 days left of getting the Gems from this bundle
I think I'm gonna have 80k+ by the end of anni
So 2 pities for anni mfs
Sounds decent
NOW I OFFICALLY REACHED PITY
AHAAHAHAAHAHAHAAAHA
NOW........I wait for ingo's rerun......
Not long i think, he might pop up during this time as there's not many ground pokefairs there's cynthia, ssgio, rika and ingo
Its during anni month though so keep a lookout if ingo pops up
Dragon however has a lot of PF, we won't know if the banner is only going to feature one type or both well until the next update
I do believe Ingo has a chance due to his lack of EXR, but same goes to the Cynthias, the Leons, Lance and Raihan
Dragon hse
Shit
I wanted to have every dragon type in the game before that happened
Yep so ultimatesubmasfan need to save a pity in case Ingo really pops up
Oh right i just noticed, DeNa starts to give exclusive lucky skill cookie to old seasonal this datamine 
Summer N gets a lucky cookie
||if the 72 hours CS celebration scout has Ingo and Emmet in the pool, they might be able to pity one of them||
||so far we know that banner includes every PF up to Larry's release, but we can wait until the banner goes live for comfirmation||
Who out there willing to spent a pity and see how many PF they could get out of it 
Does it already started?
Next reset I believe
Ok I check the dev letter its on 31st reset
But need to clear cs though
Gakon gonna speedrun poma for science

Its hard to make an alt unless we just started, ||i try to make hsr alt acc, and i stopped at tutorial|| 
I feel like maybe my effort should go to main acc if i got free time
LOOKS LIKE I HAVE A CHANCE BABY!!!

.....(if he does tho)
Probably, from what i read, its like 72h kantrio banner just more featured units
Ah
After doing all the daily stuff for today the gem count is 24,010 right? I just wanna make sure I’m understanding the one of the pinned images right
||seriously considering it||
Will depend on the rates though
it's actually 25360
Thank you!
||In need of some advice, I'd like maybe one or two of the Galar Trio... but it's probably the greatest squeeze banner of all time. I know that anni units have had a trend of rerunning the following year's december... should I just enjoy myself and pull for once
||
as long as I keep a pity for ||SC Diantha||
||I would wait for anni datamine first, their banners leave on 28th anyway||
That was my plan
i've realized I've hit that strange stratosphere of being so rich lol it's getting crazy
||i'm actually hoping anni isn't another neo champ event; it's feeling copy-paste at this point||
i'd rather see shit pairs with a unique story over busted units with the s.o.s
I used to think that its almost over as there's not many regions left, then Unova NC wave 2 appears 
Beautiful, i'll be able to save 4k gems after pre-anni
(I bought Daily Gem Bundle EX at 10k paid gems)
Holy jackpot batman
|| Bede is really the only one that is worth having imho. Marnie is a great dps. Hop is the odd one out as there’s a lot better fighting sync pairs now but he’s still good for fighting zone ||
Wanted to ask: Does the new event style balance the lack of Mission Gems with the amount of Gems we get from the Event Quests?
Probably because each battle stages now give 100 gems and story stages give 50 gems
There's still 200 gems rewards when cleared all event missions
The gem count is still basically the same
Spent 12k for Ultra Elio
Nothing's bad, this is still going well according to keikaku
Don't pull on that banner, it's massive bait.
BAIT BUT IT HAS MY FAV POKEFAIRSS😭😭

You'll only get one if you pull on it. The chance is too small to be worth any more than an extremely expensive select.
Unless you are only f2p and REALLY want a pf and have enough to pity that banner is negative value
doesn't help it's right before Anni
it's not worth it
especially since Anni will have strong af units
I am f2p that's the problem.
and the fact its before anni is killing me
Yeah but remember that starting on the 18th we will get the 100 free pulls
And the 72 hour banner has a LOW chance of actually pulling any limited 5star, it’s like a 1/5 chance for a 5 star to be limited
So 99% of the time you would need to go to pity to get a sync pair that you would want, which is awful considering anni is next month
Y i k e s
they gonna throw something big for anni, other than the MFs i'm sure there will be better rerun banners
don't fall for these baits
hm
thats true
on one hand ive been chasing a singular PF rerun this entire time and it would be neat to get it done
on the other hand might appear in a better rerun banner,,,
I need to wait close to a year to get N Zekrom in the past 
Him, lysandre and gloria already released before i started poma
it's been more than a year and a half for me since i started playing (Jan last year)
the thing is also that Lear is a 2021 unit so they might start putting him in free selects already if i wait long enough,,, maybe,,,
i mean N and Lucas and Gloria have all been in free scouts
... ok gem zenning wins i can wait longer
Hoopa unbound for 5th ani
trust
I hope its dark type, i am not particularly lacking in psychic coverage 
Who would hoopa go to?🤔
Power-up for Lear on sync if I had to guess
Similar to how Giovanni and Zinnia got megas
I’m just thinking realistically lmao
yeah true XD
40k gang
40k
I'm trying my best NOT to pull on the 72h banner
Even tho its KILLING ME
but I keep telling myself
"Anni is next month,ground/dragon type hse event next month,possible ingo rerun cuz ground type and no exr yet"
but I'm slowly getting shafted but trying not to
Stay strong

and hey you never know what will happen with the free 100 pulls
you could get blessed, or you get the worst pulls possible
last time I got pretty average pulls, in other words: somewhere in the middle 
i got a single pokefair which is neat
wouldn't have pulled dojo Gloria otherwise so it's a nice way to get some surprises
oh, you got Dojo Gloria from that, well me too 
I got 4/5 lysandre and 4/5 lucas and 1 other i forgot... straight up 5/5 em via candy right after, kinda pays off though Lucas got 5/5 expansion later
Kinda hopium that it gives me N and Gloria copy this time, i want their 5/5 grid expansion 
i have 2/5 ss diantha and 2/5 ss lysandre so they wouldn't hurt too
At least you got something 

Y I K E S

I know two friends who've gotten like 6 PF's from it
i was honestly expecting to get nothing but dojo gloria came on the literal 100th pull haha
last pair of the last multi
hrm i feel like, i'd just collect the free tickets to 10, then dump it all.
D:
Hey now you at least got
check notes
Emmet with vigilance 
really one of the grid expansions of all time
I've doing that for a while now
He's twinning with Ingo ofc brothers sticks together
This includes getting shitty expansion
A whole flexible lucky skill slot!
My dumb ahh didn't understood that emmet emoji til I realized now that you got 4/5 Emmet and 6/5 red & snorlax
.......
I wish I have ur luck gakon
(I mean I HAVE red & snorlax.....he's just in 1/5 tho and Emmet........y'all know the answer aka me not having him)
idk how im still alive
Aka
not spending my gems
just dont think abt it
fr, the best strategy is to close the game and distract yourself with something else
the urge passes pretty quickly
Remember to live life
besides even if u want to play theres plenty of things to do in the game
15-25minutes of spin spin spin 😮
Or read
we all need reading and touching grass
Yup
Brothers always stick together......
(Pokemon legends arceus spoiler)
||cough cough ingo in hisui cough cough||
Can you tel me if I have enough gems to be safe for anni
well depends how many pairs you want
usually anni has 3 masterfairs but not sure if ||ss nemona|| is counted as part of the anni lineup like ss gladion was
anni month itself will give gems too, though probably not a full pity's worth
(depends how generous DeNa is feeling)
so do the maths on the number of pairs you want, then consider your gems now plus the rest of this month and then maybe 20k(?) more
I am going to get 55615 f2p gems and 16.4k paid gems
also anni doesn't only have masterfairs, often there's nice pokefairs around that time too
does that count the rest of this month already?
I only want master fair
Yes
alright so you need 73,200 for two pities i believe (non paid)
which seems feasible
17k about needed in anni month
and hopefully we get pokemon presents gems too
Oh I forgot that 🥳
so dunno if you could get three, but two seems quite doable
Thanks
Those degenerates doing a 2% combined banner is hilarious
Makes it even easier for me to save feeling superior
Wdym degenerates?
People that make bad decisions based on the odds presented just because it includes a tiny chance at their desired outcome
Pretty sure your breaking a few rules when you say that
I'm just saying what makes ME motivated to spend less
I'm not pointing out anyone specific
Don't shame what helps me
Calling others degenerates is definitely against the rules
Even without a specified target
It still falls onto antagonizing and shaming others
Especially if it applies to people happy with the results who scouted on that banner when having more than enough gems on their name
Okay so seeing other misfortune isn't allowed to motivate me to save?
You can think whatever you want
Just don't insult others in public spaces
I think that's just human decency
Infinite patience at bad choices doesn't actually help people become better savers but okay!
Savers aren't better people than other players
We're all in the same boat
Shaming people for scouting is just not very chill
Especially if it's a pretty heavy diss to a general part of the players
As someone who wanna spend their gems on the 72h maybe.
this is a good phrase
Shaming others won't help anyone become better
Again, you can point and laugh at spenders in your head if you want to
Just, try avoid insulting others because of how they manage their gacha resources lol
It's wild this has to be said
^^THISS
yeah I mean
I might spend the my pity over this banner ESPECIALLY when the anni is happening next month and I MIGHT regret it
but getting my fav character is my goal here
And plus I can get them back so-
yea, I don't insult people for their gacha management
I only make fun on some people, but those people are usually my friends
Patience can actually help people improve by giving them the space to learn from their mistakes without feeling pressured. It’s not about ignoring bad choices but supporting gradual, positive change.
(and I'm kind of a troll, so yea
)
You guys are making a huge deal out of a single word, especially when I used it in context of saying what made ME avoid temptation for Elio. Not a very safe space
tbf some of my past pull decisions did motivate me to be better at saving
Sure its used to describe yourself but its also targetting other individuals
although I feel I'm playing it kinda... too safe?
You can't really use a hard term like "degenerate" in a safe space and expect people to just act like it's nothing
Especially when it's followed by
It's a gambling game, is degenerate actually that harsh?
Okay so instead you can feel superior talking to me like a child. Thanks
....alr-
imma skedaddle out of here
My guy.
Its just that your being ignorant about the issue when you clearly dont care about how your words can affect others
If someone's day is ruined by choosing to include themselves in a random comment about a theoretical group of people making bad decisions, then they shouldn't be on discord at all
Stop antagonizing everyone.
You broke a clear rule of the server, but instead of just being mature you kept defending your stance and acting like you're the victim
I agree with Clair
Nobody here actually think you ruined someone's day.
But
And this is a big BUT
Language when interacting with others in a safe space is important
All we asked you is to avoid strong terms and implying savers are superior to non savers
Yet you keep implying us asking you to avoid this is ruining YOUR safe space here
I made a joke about comradery in the saver's club and get ganged up on

So yeah it is ironic imo
Where's the joke
What kind of reference are all of the people here missing
What kind of context makes calling others "degenerates" fine
I know there's some but like
We're not in a 20 people discord where we all know each other and have similar language and humor
Alright so no channel is safe for jokes in the entire PMEX discord, got it
yea, I have some jokes in my group discord I don't think anyone outside would get
I'll just close by saying this was born of you BREAKING A RULE of the discord.
If the rules are wrong to you
Go ask admins
About changing them
Because calling others degenerates is definitely against this server's policies
Breaking a rule is "no big deal" as I've myself broken them a couple time but I think I never doubled down like you're doing once I got notified of my infringement.
I-i can't believe this entire discord argument happened in the RESOURCE SAVING SUPPORT CHANNEL.
im SO spending my gems on the 72h banner now ahahhaha
I don't think that banner is a good investment at all
Risking 37k for a select's value is pretty bad
I think it's much better to go for triple fair reruns
2% cumulative odds is really bad
Gakon coming back just in time for the discussion to have been solved
HEY GAKONNNN
you joined late






Anyway let's put an end to that topic, we all know who is wrong and ensure it won't happen again
agree
Nahhhh frrr
Its very low-
Especially when anni is next month and there's a banner with free 100 pulls coming mid August.
The main problem for me is that I'm f2p,select banners ain't gonna work for me
And I'm DESPERATE for a character I want instead of having to wait MONTHS for them to come back-
that is my problem
yes
Triple fair reruns are pretty common tho
AND
Ingo needs to rerun for EXr
which pair?
So he's definitely gonna rerun in next 6 months
also isnt there usually a free ticket scout select during anniversary? Like the Gloria/Lucas/Red one
There might be, but Submas has never been in these free selects before
But we will see
its kinda obvious on who I want from my username ngl
oh i just realized submas is subway masters
yes
Same dude is now arguing in #salt-channel 💀
i feel like submas are still pretty popular so they'll for sure get a rerun sometime. if you're lucky they'll even do a duo rerun
Well well well
While I watch the fun ill stack another pity
Im just here saving for SC Diantha
genuinely don't know how he's still in this server lol, every time i see him he's doing something
:00000
I HOPE SO
or atleast an ingo rerun soon cuz he has no exr type
guy dm requested me probably because i threw in some numbers in the channel 😅 i'm too busy for this
GUYS GET THE POPCORN THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD
pretty sure it ended
Oop-
nvm
facts
I await to be ridiculed for dropping a pity on the galar trio. What a server this is
Moving along, yall got saving goals
My saving goal is to get at least 2 anni pairs this year
Hello
Helllooo

I'd avoid bringing up drama in unrelated chats if I were you
yeah my bad ill stop now
Oof, at least this should teach you that 3k yolos are too risky
Yeah I agree
Yoloing 3k even just once every 2 months is 1/2 a pity per year
I made worse mistakes in the past 
Nobody here started as a zen god aside a couple exceptions
I only yolo that’s why I will have no gems for the anni 😈
saving goal is just "get the pairs I want" who are probably Hisuians haha
i might try for Hisui base unit max (excl. alts), right now I'm only missing Adaman
tbf as much I'm still holding a grudge with some past banners, at least my spending habits is better now
because of those experiences
I remember being reckless with my gems too. I got lucky though because I was like 300 gems short of pity on the last day of SSA Cynthia on her initial run. My saving grace was all the sync pair stories I never completed
my 2nd anni summons was done so inefficiently
Same joltik
same
But not the hisuian gang
its obvious on who it is,yall don't even need to ask me anyways💀💀
Hisui being such a dripfeed content here makes me save so much harder bc they're not dropping who I want 
I saw the 72 banner, saw the prices, and quickly dip out of there. There's no way I'm wasting my 50k gems on it before the anniversary! 
there's still so many
But anyways, I'm skipping Elio and Selene for now. I'm still saving
THE TIER MELLI IS IN IS SO FUNNNY💀💀
I love melli and ingo's duo idc anymore
I could talk ALL DAY about ingo and melli and still won't stop talking about them💀💀
Also
HISUI INGO WHEN DENA!?!??!??!?
i want that purple twink to be sandwhiched between the ingos he'd fucking die but is funny
now I'm WAITING for melli to be playable to see this💀💀😭😭
this is melli's nightmare
i love melli he's funny af and i think he should be allowed to interact more with ingo i want to see more of their dynamic
yapper and idgaf man
THIS^^^^
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I NEED MORE OF THESE TWO SO MUCH ITS FUNNY😭😭😭😭
but imagine melli meeting normal ingo (aka before he got isekai'd to hisui)
i think he'd think that's a zoroak bc the ingo he knows is a guy who's been through the shredder
not a prim and clean man
THIS MADE ME WHEEZE FOR NO REASON AT ALL HELLLPPPPPP💀💀💀💀💀💀
wow. I'm close to 36k since the story adjusted
the shredder are sneasler and sneasels probably
ingo cat tower now
ingo is a cat person fr fr
even the shape of his mouth gives me vibes of a cat too
But that zoroak comment u made made me shocked and wheezed💀💀
i can respect this list :O
based melli tier XD
zisu fans stay winning !!!!
I can't wait for the amount of teams where there's 1 melli and 2 ingos in it XD,I might die of laughter when it happens lol💀💀
Yk what
imma make my own hisui list too
everyone else covered it already (ty folks) but if laughing at others’ misfortune and mistakes are what motivate you then keep it to yourself, that’s an extremely toxic vibe for this community and it won’t be tolerated 
Hrm... 2 pities worth by aug 28th ... Maybe?

Anyway. Anni soon everyone, keep that saving going 
Cannot Tai
||there's 3 faves this month||
i’m in a pretty good spot for anni, hopefully i won’t be tempted into all three anni units like i was last year
i do regret going for one of them
fomo gets us all sometimes
Yep so far the worst fomo for me is pokewar SC, 4 faves in a dry gems month 
At least there's still a whole lot of august gems yet to get plus September gems
I’m just happy if I’m in a good spot for anni
I hope anni MF arent faves, but there's a dose of Paradox and UB right before anni, im in danger 
Bit of a shame there isn’t an Iono banner in the month 
Maybe bike lizards
Tbh the extra 14k gems we all got was especially welcome. I got my target next month and I’m still good for anni
Its funny that they even state about it in dev letter, that she's not available in any banner
She appeared in such an awkward time on her initial run
Maybe i should revisit PML arc cutscenes as homage to the new revamp
January is usually a shaft month for me 🙃
I checked my roster and wow, i didnt pull much between January till July
Oh well, there is a chance I get her from… somewhere
No wonder i still got a healthy amount of gems
I think last year or even before is more disastrous
Especially when VA dishing legends after legends
We still have all of August!
I’m surprised how I even got 50K now
With perseverance and dedication
Even without that 15.7K bonus, I have more saved than last year 😂
Well at least now you are in a good spot
Oh right those that have dragon/ground pokefair in rerun list might need to look out for sept hs banner
So stash a bit of gems
I honestly can’t wait for the free select in general
Its been a while that i even forgot when is the last time we got a free select
4.5 anni
The one with Red, Lucas and Gloria
(Basically protagonist PF before 2.5 anni)
Did we get any free select on 4th anni?
It was the one with N, Marnie and Raihan
3.5 anni has the 6 champions
I’m pretty positive there will be a free select on the 5th
(but I kinda hope the 5th anni free select is more special ngl
)
Friendly reminder that #1142434215208702073 message exists
Oh right, half a decade is kinda big
I just hope that anni MF aint collab related, well its fine if they arent faves but if its like Liko Terapagos. Once i missed it, forever gone, like Ash
Luckily i dont miss Ash as its just a pikachu so not a fave
Willow Melmetal or something will make me sad
I'll take a free Lance if ever.
We have that daily scout update thingy too, I hope I get OGCynthia from it for free lodge stuff
There's no lodge sscynthia
I’m not sure what I’m hoping for
I hope it got good rates for a 5*
But I don’t know who is included even
2% total or something
Imagine the daily scout has 0.0025% chance for each limited
3star sync pairs always for days on end 😭
I’m not sure when it was even added 
I have SSCynthia but not OGCynthia 
I was a bit reckless when I started and SSCynthia’s debut was on one of my early banners in July 2020
I’m glad that I started saving though 
Since the launch 
(Now I hope the 3* PU exchange shop gets updated)
Still waiting for 3* move candies to 4* conversion 
Especially considering how scarce new eggmons are these days




and 6/5 Redlax
