look at that handsome and trustable face

#

Here's my dumbass theorizing on who will rerun in the ground/dragon type hse event for ground type characters-
Ingo has a HIGH chance
But then I look at Cynthia and garchomp--
I mean
Idk if lodge monthly banners are counted as a rerun but I remembered Cynthia and garchomp got a monthly rerun on july--
So uhum
idk-
Its all a theory btw--

Very tempted to go for ||C Marnie today||. But I have to remember my support roster is being carried by C Rosa for ages and keep saving until datamine.

lilac crescent
#

Your right, plus Anne is just around the counter.

orchid lark
#

Anni is close
datamine is close

#

Datamine on 23rd is likely
I NEED to know who will rerun in ground/dragon type banner I NEED TO SEE IT

slow hare
#

I don't think that's the expected date for datamine

#

It'll probably come after the trailer, on Monday / Sunday night

compact pasture
#

Finally, we'll be surprised by a trailer before a datamine?

orchid lark
#

Well
The trailer will be on the 25th
The trailer could reveal everything for the 5th anni
So its bascislly the datamine before the actual datamine

fiery pollen
#

the 25th is the weekend which they don't usually post news on or heck even updates,

#

so i'm only gonna expect the news, then update the next day

upbeat lotus
#

26th is my safe bet

orchid lark
#

So bascially
Its either
23rd or 26th
y a y......

Back to 8 pities, with no thanks to my luck this year as every banner except one that I went for cost me a pity each

lost bobcat
#

The Galarian trio event lasting 8 days is kinda bothering me about the future of rerunning event with the new reward format

#

Hope they'll cut the score needed by half at least

#

Having to manage stamina so much is kinda weird

spring ginkgo
#

Guys

#

I folded

#

Im set back 10000 gems

#

With no ||NC marnie||

vestal leaf
#

If you fell for a bait, if you invested a fair bit (5 multi or more) and got shafted, I'd kinda consider going to pity, as I'd rather spend extra than have thrown 5-6 multis in literal trash

spring ginkgo
#

Anni tho

compact pasture
vestal leaf
#

Decide then

#

It also depends how much you dumped for nothing

spring ginkgo
#

I have 30000 left

#

And i havent did the nemoana event yet

oak crest
#

but the last NC, it took me 2 pities to get both MF

#

with both banners taking me to pity (fuck unova)

spring ginkgo
#

I took the bait

orchid lark
#

I say 23rd cuz
Anni datamines happens early
I think
26th is very likely cuz it happens a day after the trailer

vestal leaf
#

nah

#

datamine on august happened always on 24-25-26

orchid lark
#

On a weekend?

vestal leaf
#

Nope

#

I mean, I think we had a Friday

#

But it was never a 23rd Friday

orchid lark
#

Well we don't know when we will get a datatmine
So for now
If its early
Its gonna be on 23rd (Friday)
If its late
Its gonna be on 26th (Monday)
These are my theories >:3
im just desperate to know who's gonna rerun in anni

exotic swallow
#

Me trying to not yolo pull nc Marnie

vestal leaf
#

So 26th is extremely more likely

#

Just hoping it's before 28th

#

5k more for the 250k milestone lfgif lfgif lfgif

Thought this was satisfying

#

I caved and spent a couple on the Marnie banner

versed flame
#

is it possible to get an ending of 9 from things like the paid bundles

compact pasture
outer mango
#

I want NC Marnie and NC bede but I have to wait for anni datamine 😭

vestal leaf
rare swan
#

we're getting official info on the 24th/25th, so datamine before that would be weird

orchid lark
trim heron
#

26th is honestly quite the most average date for a datamine

orchid lark
rare swan
#

it will come CalemRelieved

trim heron
#

those 4-5 days will take a while

vestal leaf
#

Mhhh I'm pretty sure we always got Anni teases before datamine

#

Ash was weeks prior

#

Kantrio idr

oak crest
#

kantrio was only teased on datamine date

#

like 2h before the datamine iirc

#

with NCBlue's pic for the app icon

compact pasture
#

So the datamine's probably on Monday?

oak crest
#

most likely

#

we might get it on 23rd, but chances are really low

#

anything before is just serious copium

#

i was even surprised that lounge got a slowmode earlier on

orchid lark
#

Yeah
Datamines happen when the game updates right?
If the game updates on the 23rd
we get datamine
We don't know yet
26th is very likely tho

orchid lark

#

Back to 1 pity ||after that fiasco with Penny||

tardy fiber
#

Im not sure what event should i focus now, i can clear galar nc event just by doing dailies. So i guess i will do Oak event for his copies as ssnemona event still got a long duration

#

At least VA rerun will be over in few days

#

So my 60 stamina will be free

lost bobcat
#

Oak event will last for a while
Galar run for 8 days only

orchid lark
#

Aka 28th

#

Or am I an idiot-

broken mulch
#

Nah it lasts a long time

lost bobcat
broken mulch
#

Yeah

lost bobcat
#

While galar 28 aug

pure arrow
#

Still surprised at how short the ||MF reruns|| feel

orchid lark
# lost bobcat 28th sept

Yup
im dumb as usuall
I didn't saw the number 9 on the date and just stared at the 28th and said
"Ah yes,every other event is ending on the 28th so it will end on anni!"

lost bobcat
#

8 days, is that the shortest event we got? (With reward shop)

#

I'm just worried about the new reward format rerun
But that's for next year

#

I'm not ok with forcing all the junk items I normally never trade

oak crest
#

some ppl support it tho, which idk why

#

i definitely do not want a useless cookie for an unit that I despise and will never pull for

lost bobcat
oak crest
#

i do forget once in a while but not exactly a fan of this lol

tardy fiber
#

So i plan to do dailies for ssnemona as long as i can while clearing oak event copies first

#

Probably only need 4 days to clear Oak, 600 event coupons for each copy and no event boosted units

#

Also no daily stage

#

So i think his event is the most problematic

vestal leaf
#

his event also lasts 40+ days

tardy fiber
#

True but starting 28th which is anni we will get new event that need another 10k event points so another place that need to be concerned about stamina so might as well finish Oak before that pops up

#

Other events can still do daily stage that give lots of points in a single run daily

tawny cedar
#

Neat,my first pity since January 2022

trim heron
#

I don't have the funny number anymore tho 🙃

dusky carbon
#

Been saving for anni 🙏 did the math and I should hopefully get enough by the end of September if I have to Pity 3 master fair units

#

Also currently saving the paid gems for the upcoming stuff, I should have 3k before it ends

lost bobcat
#

If they're going to drop less than 30k I have to pop some stuff

foggy crest
#

Why won't you just.. do them

#

UBs are pretty fun and some of them can be easy if you have the right units

#

Battle villa gives a nice amount I guess, and shouldn't take too long, sync pair stories can also be rewarding

zenith eagle
#

2 pities banked!!

lost bobcat
#

I can tap into this anytime
As long as I don't get them I'm less tempted to spend

#

I'm doing UBs, just not finishing
After all we got them on BR

junior trout
#

pretty smart tbh

slow hare
fallen path
#

I still have the final battle villa as a 2000 gem backup WulfricKEKW

crude glacier
#

For me it’s the co op battles

#

and the ubs

#

(I’m never doing either)

broken mulch
#

I don’t get it honestly

#

It’s the same gem but needs time to get

tough oriole
#

I used to do sync pair stories asap but about a year ago i fell out of the habit
I don’t really enjoy villa enough to do it and I dislike UBs generally (tho I have done some of the latter)

lunar thistle
#

I've been trying out a strategy I call gem hanging

lost bobcat
lunar thistle
#

By not claiming the presents until I have to

lost bobcat
#

Btw is like stacking candy coins

#

Having a total lower gem helps in saving, giving the illusion you have less

#

And popping those only when truly needed

lunar thistle
#

I've tried stacking candy coins, but I think it's less useful for myself since I rarely have the urge to candy

lost bobcat
#

Yeah I don't stack candy coins but some does for a similar saving reasion

#

But gems are way easier to get used

#

And after 5years saving feels harder, both for lower avrg gems and up/downs of the game

#

I always had at least 3 pity ready for anni, except now

lapis pine
#

Hey look this is the first time in 2 years that I’m going to have a full pity saved, I’m feeling great

broken mulch
#

Yeah I don’t get it

tardy fiber
#

I dont stack gems, i grab everything i can get except UBs so that i will always know what amount of gems i realistically have at all times. Would be kinda bad if you need 3k gems for emergency use to reach pity and you thought you have 3k gems as backup from sync pair stories but it ended up only 2.7k gems and then the banner expires

lost bobcat
#

Yeah the pair stories are the weird ones bcs some have multiple stories
Villa and UBs are the only easy ones to remember bcs 2k + 3k if untouched

crude glacier
#

genuine question since I don’t see a lot of people doing them

#

and they give like 1K if you complete all iirc

tardy fiber
crisp oracle

Gem check. Loud and clear.

#

This saving until anni thing is so boring
Knowing me, I'd skip it like last year again

tardy fiber
#

I skipped 2 years back and recent half anni

#

Always prioritise faves TabithaHehe

feral vale
#

It’s nice when you get the news and know you’re safe, if I’m being honest

tardy fiber
#

Yep also even if anni is a skip, your fave might appear in month right after so it is always good to know your priorities and that can help from risk of losing faves

narrow lodge
#

Yoo like wth

#

I will start saving gems after anni hoping to reach 100k till the next anni

#

Is it possible

upbeat lotus
#

yes ofc

narrow lodge
#

How many gems on avg we get in a month

fallen path
#

depends how nice dena are

narrow lodge
#

On avg ?

broken mulch
#

20k+, usually around 22k

fallen path
#

23k or so

narrow lodge
#

Ooh

#

So by small calculation January I will reach 100k

#

Around

fallen path
#

anni will be more than avg

#

but yeah by jan at worst

fiery pollen
#

Yeah if you get lucky or didn't pull in between it takes at least 5 months for 100k

#

As long as you have a goalpost in mind, it makes saving really easy

narrow lodge
#

Hmm

#

@fiery pollen how do u hv the diamond thing on ur name I mean diamond count

See my name

summer goblet
#

@maiden kayak I am now at your level now officially

#

Also, was going to hold off 500k gem mark till 25th but plans change

#

If it weren’t for Dena’s generous offer, I may not reach my goal ever

#

So thanks Dena

#

Now onto 5th anni

versed flame
#

oh wow

compact pasture
violet nebula
#

By not spending

#

Realising that this game, you can get by with the f2p pairs, no need to spend gems

#

Anything else is a nice to have

trim heron
#

500K is a bit too much dedication for gem saving for my liking SeleneLul, but yea this person is right

violet nebula
#

It is about 1 year and half + worth of saving

vestal leaf
#

It's 1.5 years of not scouting ANYTHING and doing everything

#

We get 310-330k yearly

#

anni reveal on Sunday huh

sturdy flower
tardy fiber
#

I hope there's not many faves on anni, i only have 107k gems currently and sunday poma day can probably bump it to 108k. Although i dont mind if there's a lot of bp master faves instead LucianScheme

#

Will be able to form my 2nd ticket soon and hopium that dena will give another rainbow ticket free on anni again

#

I don't really need electric units so I wouldn't mind bp master raikou at this point

Dev letter? How?

Dev letter? Really?

#

Dev letter? What's that?

orchid lark
#

Tho
Do dev letters happen during a reset?

#

And what do they offer anyways?

broken mulch
#

During reset yeah

upbeat lotus
orchid lark
upbeat lotus
#

dev letters are a monthly thing

broken mulch
#

Usually Info about content for the following month are more vague than the ones datamine will usually include haha

#

Like for this Anni, September info will be clear and elaborate, whereas if they decide to talk about October info it’s vague like a new type of event or some such

orchid lark
#

Still excited tho❗❗

compact pasture
#

It’s probably tomorrow

orchid lark
#

Guys no dev letter today--

upbeat lotus

that's expected

Unsurprising

More gems tomorrow! JamesGemsjemes

wonder if i can hold on until 200k hm

depends on tomorrow i suppose :O

it was from the ranked Damage Challenge

paper root
#

did we ever get the referral gems lol

fiery pollen
#

not distributed yet

#

they're still reviewing

vestal leaf
#

it takes 2 weeks circa

#

to review subscription for the previous one

#

this one had likely many more submissions so it might take more

narrow lodge
#

I had a question

#

I am like kinda new not new I mean I don't hv enough good sync pairs that I can complete every mission like serious Anabel battle

#

So should I still save the diamonds for the next anni or should I get some good mons first

versed flame
#

if you're super new you can probably reroll for anni pairs

narrow lodge
#

Not super new

#

Played last year and left in between

upbeat lotus
#

You should accept that there are battles you can't beat (yet)

#

Missing a few hundred gems is better than losing potentially 36.6k for a small amount of gems

compact pasture
versed flame
#

likely, if you've built up a bigger roster

#

like the current galar rerun EBEs, i was relatively new when they first ran and i managed to beat some of it with much effort, and not all of them

#

now it was a breeze, and i didn't even pull any units that are meant for it

compact pasture
#

Who did you use?

versed flame
#

back then?

#

allister main i believe

#

sonia and hop support carrying

#

there are f2p or as close to f2p (invested) clears on the EBE help channel

vernal glade
#

I know I struggled on one of the Johto EBE two years ago. Now they’re not a problem anymore after it reran last year.

compact pasture
versed flame
#

since they have type boost and not just region boost

#

i ran my fighting/dark/psychic teams

#

psychic nuked with Lucian, plus Bianca and nc rosa, so 2/3 f2p

#

the others were more limited based teams though dark used sonia still, fighting had Riley

#

(dark: akari+sscyrus+sonia, fighting: rei+ncbianca+riley)

vernal glade
#

Actually I think the fighting ebe on Galar last year gave me trouble I think. I can’t remember. But I did know I was able to do Dark and Psychic just fine.

versed flame
#

fighting type didn't even need a support that's how much it's been powercrept 😅

#

just sync ramp your way to victory

lost bobcat
vernal glade
#

But the hardest ebe I’ll never forget but I got the gems from it thankfully after retrying for two hours I think, has to be diantha ebe, which was during the first NC two years ago. But if it ever returns, I don’t think it’ll be a problem anymore.

versed flame
#

4th anni EBE was quite something

#

i had some trouble even with 1/3 of the anni pairs

vernal glade
#

Ya that one was very hard to do.

versed flame
#

i think there was eventually a f2p clear found but it was 💀

fiery pollen
#

RNG filled run my best friend

#

NC Kantrio is easily the worst EBE they've made, throwing like 3 different gimmicks into one stage sure was a choice

trim heron
#

Yea, I found it also the worst EBE of them all

broken mulch
#

Always annoying when I slam into it in BR lol

trim heron
#

And there are some released with Evasion gimmicks later on

broken mulch
#

No wait

#

Nah it was a different one

trim heron
#

You mean a Battle Challenge

#

Tbf the 4th anni BC can be decently annoying

broken mulch
#

Yeah bc not eb

#

Though iirc they had an EB rerun where they switched which region had boosts

#

THAT was super annoying lol

versed flame
#

oh wait that was a BC

#

i mixed them up

#

oh yeah that was an interesting time... Unova terrain setter needed except you needed to overwrite psychic terrain

#

so RIP bianca

#

the only one was C!Elesa

#

i think i ended up running volkner as a third and hoping he wouldnt die

What are your prédiction for anni Sync pair

outer mango
#

Why ?

fallen path
#

It’s their hopium

grim plover

well yeah but actually last hoenn MF was anni steven and unova just got 4 MFs in less than a year like they were evading something.

#

but besides MFs is almost confirmed that steven, cynthia, and lance are getting something. The last CS week has a dragon, steel and ground weakness.

Im so glad i saved 3 pities worth. Now that this fair required 500 scout points

They should at least like give us more gems, right? AveryPointAndLaugh

#

more daily, more from events, etc

#

Im hoarding so many yellow coins i hope it can be used on those new pairs

tardy fiber

With that amount to pity, i better kick all of the desire to do cheeky pulls and just gonna focus on my faves arc suit later CyrusSweat . If they choose the champions, i probably only in danger for arc suit N Zekrom. Iirc he is kinda a champion too as he appears in victory road content

Unless the concept will be carried over to Main Characters base pairs as well, if that, i will need to be wary to more characters

they don't have spark, but they have....arc

so expect the same for December

fallen path

poma lounge is a mess, i wouldn't venture in there

fallen path

main plaza is more sane

tardy fiber
versed flame
#

true

fallen path
#

i am genuinely curious what the gem count is gonna be

tardy fiber
#

I dont expect much

chrome nest
#

Can someone recap what this arc fair means im to lazy to read a page long essay about it on the news

versed flame
#

every six months AC and the other three months MF?

tardy fiber
#

Due to free lillie tax

lusty prism
#

datamine is tomorrow right?

versed flame
chrome nest
lusty prism
chrome nest
#

Best format is the free scout format

lusty prism
#

wait or did i get it wrong? SophoKEK

tardy fiber
versed flame
#

and a new multi role (lowers type rebuff)

#

which only Arc pairs have

chrome nest
tardy fiber
#

So i expected that they will get powercrept

chrome nest
#

The return of mono type teams

livid rover
#

I'm a bit disappointed with Arc Suits, they will so obviously be meta but I think the fashion would get boring in the long run and if they keep their partners as their base partners... Ah CaitlinSleeper

#

But hey, more gems to save

chrome nest
#

Yeah no this anni is not good

#

New format that’s worse than master fair is just…. Why

tardy fiber
#

Would be interesting to pair type teamwork and ||arc suit pair together but still gonna skip em if not faves||

sweet tide
#

And i wondered why we got so much gems this mth

crude glacier
#

Tlim, the end is near

fallen path
maiden kayak
#

i hope they up the gems this anni

summer goblet
#

geez, now we all have to think

maiden kayak
#

maybe 35k

sweet tide
#

Gave a full pity for the AS banner

crude glacier
#

We shall hope we can scrap by 25k gems a month average

sweet tide
#

No wonder

lusty prism
#

I demand 50k this month

crude glacier
summer goblet
#

meta is overated, just go for abolute fav

tardy fiber
#

True

summer goblet
#

which is bad for me cause I love Steven and the othe 2

fallen path
#

good thing I still have those 2000 battle rally gems lol

summer goblet
#

dang it

crude glacier
tardy fiber
#

Embrace lillie solgaleo and chatelaines

summer goblet
#

was doing so good this month with 500k in my pocket

chrome nest
#

If they release a fight that has multiple phases and it’s difficult without the anni units, it’s literally like what happened in another game I played

fallen path
#

i mean, if they are your favs you're gonna summon right necro?

oak crest
#

Hit 300k but my hype got killed already

#

Zzz

sweet tide
#

174k to pity all 4 banners oh my lord

crude glacier
#

I hit 160k

maiden kayak
#

honestly speaking

tardy fiber
fallen path
#

wait there's a 4th banner?

crude glacier
summer goblet
#

I should have enough

fallen path
#

tlim stop scaring me lol

crude glacier
#

||lillie|| is free

sweet tide
#

Oh im counting nemona cos i havent pulled her

chrome nest
maiden kayak
#

i think just skip ||lance and steven|| they are literally same even, cloned outfits at HIGHER PRICE

summer goblet
#

i will accept this will only be my only time to reach 500k

#

and no more

maiden kayak
#

||at least cynthia had some distinct difference||

crude glacier
#

||steven|| looks like an argenta clone

lunar thistle
#

Metter doesn't mattar?

fallen path
livid rover
tardy fiber
#

Well at least this probably crossed out cynthia, lance, steven from being paired with arceus WEEZing

chrome nest
#

I’m just an anni rat and I’ll probably stay like that for this game

crude glacier
summer goblet
#

||I shall just daily pull and push my luck||

tardy fiber
#

Volo arceus Hopium

lunar thistle
#

Speaking of anni rats

lunar thistle
#

I do want SST Red

summer goblet
#

arc suit Volo when lol

#

for Arceus

sweet tide
#

eos

fallen path
crude glacier
#

Now more than ever

livid rover
sweet tide
#

giratina volo gonna be SS instead

lusty prism
#

I legit think no one is gonna be paired with arceus ever

sweet tide
#

or some NC shenanigans

summer goblet
#

after this, i think i am ready to skip some master fairs and arc suit and just pick whichever interst me

crude glacier
chrome nest
#

I’m guessing this Anni new mechanic is a new role and horrible banner format

#

Just great

sweet tide
#

or actually they wouldnt even bring arceus to the game to be playable cos the kit has to be like impossible

crude glacier
#

Then again they have updates planned out and made for 6 months allegedly

sweet tide
#

I hope they stop the new method of the event rewards...its bad

chrome nest
#

Watch they release this trio again in 5 years but this time it’s titled ultra arc suits

lusty prism
crude glacier
#

I really don’t get what they meant “5 years in the making”

#

In the teaser trailer

chrome nest
crude glacier
#

This was made in a week

sweet tide
#

The trailer was giving me winx club vibes

tardy fiber
summer goblet
chrome nest
crude glacier
#

I’m suing for false advertisement then

sweet tide
summer goblet
#

well, i can now safe to say, i be pulling prob at least once or twice a year

#

and skip the rest unless its fav

lusty prism
#

So no new event or gameplay like Trainer Lodge (i think lodge was invented in 3rd anni iirc)

summer goblet
#

how else am i going to maitain my 500k gems

summer goblet
#

dang, now i can't post my 500k ama on reddit

crude glacier
#

And a new move type

lusty prism
#

Ah that

crude glacier
#

And a new banner

summer goblet
#

that will just be a bad timing and bad taste

tardy fiber
crude glacier
#

Instagram referred to it as “divine move”

summer goblet
chrome nest
tardy fiber
chrome nest
#

I’m justice given form, I am the world, I am divine.

summer goblet
#

and then maybe 2 more like ||Red and Volo||

summer goblet
summer goblet
#

and hype that shit up

#

i am prepare to get drained

#

200k gems gone

#

if i am unlucky

#

lol

tardy fiber
#

Iirc ||they also give positive rebuff, new EBEs for them probably related to rebuff||

lusty prism
#

positive rebuff for a certain type?

tardy fiber
#

Well at worse, i will only lose 1800 gems

just go offtype then WEEZing

||A steel physical support with pmun with every attack||

tardy fiber
#

Cannot wait for lillie, i will EX her day 1 and put the PUs in my bag

#

Same with victrier

#

Free faves get special treatment

fiery pollen
#

Argenta is such a far cry comparison

fallen path
#

that's an inefficient use of resources vantner lol

fiery pollen
#

NC Blue is more appropriate

fallen path
#

but i know you don't care about that

#

permanent PUs in my bag would drive me crazy

fiery pollen
#

Only thing ||ArcSteven|| lacks is a form of speed buffing other than that he looks like a more offense oriented physical NC Blue

summer goblet
#

and my fav gets a massive boost

#

if it's true

fiery pollen
#

You can read his kit of dev message

#

His base kit already sounds stacked

summer goblet
#

i did, waiting for his full moveset on datamine

#

looks promising so far

#

don't want to disapoint myself

fiery pollen
#

Yeah true I'm waiting for grid hoping he has any form of speed buff

tardy fiber
fallen path
chrome nest
#

So far

#

Least promising and hype anni

tardy fiber
#

It kinda feels iffy, we dont have anniversary 2023 pairs

#

Only 2021, 2022 and lillie 2024

summer goblet
#

2023 is the neochamp kanto

chrome nest
fallen path
#

i just hope lillie anni 2024 is better than lillie anni 2021 WEEZing

3 years of powercreep

summer goblet

don't get your hopes up

or if it did rip anni lillie

tardy fiber
summer goblet
#

exactly

tardy fiber
fiery pollen
#

Oh wait do we know anything abt the Lillie

summer goblet
#

free lillie better than mf anni lille

#

will be wack

fiery pollen
#

Other than being free

summer goblet
#

not much

fallen path
#

prob a datamine within 24 hours?

#

we'll know soon

summer goblet
#

so not tonight lol

#

dang it

#

all well

sweet tide
#

datamine is tmr

#

its sunday dena doesnt work

summer goblet
#

ok fair enough

tardy fiber
#

Annilillie is just like maxie and archie for me, they can still deal good damage because of the occasional SE buff that they get so still not that useless. Although lunala got some edge because piercing blows on moongeist beam

fiery pollen
#

It's Sunday, it's never going to be today

fallen path
#

anni lillie still got one of the coolest sync move animations

#

got that going for her

summer goblet
#

she is my goto unit for LG

#

and ghost SE until Irida shows up

fallen path
#

oh how i wish to be in the dena meeting room once in october to see how much they're going to make from the arc scouts

#

cuz it ain't gonna be the end of it if it prints money

sweet tide
#

if lillie was part of the trio

#

it would get them more cash

#

but they made her free instead

#

they hate money

fallen path
#

there's cynthia. there's money to be made

sweet tide
#

although im quite sure there are 20 paid scouts on the way

lunar thistle
#

Wrong server sorry

fallen path
#

i mean, this thing is trending on twitter

lusty prism
#

wait, pomas is trending on twitter? ArvenSurrender

lunar thistle
#

The Master Fairs have fallen.
PoMa is dead.
They are coming.

fallen path
#

well cynthia is trending on twitter in my country lol

maiden kayak
#

ngl

#

last daily bundle

fallen path
#

if we don't get reskinned anni lillie in aug 2027, we riot

maiden kayak
#

i gonna invest that money in my ZZZ instead

lunar thistle
#

Or Honkai

maiden kayak
#

no point putting money on a company that doesnt innovate

#

na i dont like honkai

#

zzz is better

fallen path
#

they changed the team and then the gem counts started to go down right?

lunar thistle
#

I never tried ZZZ because Genshin battle system confuses me enough

#

Maybe I should

maiden kayak
#

it does take awhile to get it but yea its pretty optimised gameplay

lunar thistle
#

It's also rotation-based right

chrome nest
#

I try to go back to this game

fallen path
chrome nest
#

But after this

maiden kayak
#

na not turned based but u dont have to navigate every dungeon like open world map

chrome nest
#

I don’t know if I ever will even during their anni celeb

fallen path
#

but this is still my only gacha, the other game i play is a hero collector

lunar thistle
#

play osu

summer goblet
#

i might consider going f2p this year

lunar thistle
#

osu has more fun drama

tardy fiber
lunar thistle
#

(For instance search up "bang bang veto")

chrome nest
#

I would say play Dokkan battle but like it’s very tedious and grindy

chrome nest
summer goblet
tardy fiber
#

That and marvel strike force are nice hero collector that you can grab shards slowly and progress

maiden kayak
tardy fiber
#

So i play em as side games

maiden kayak
#

u can hoard

summer goblet
#

what's that

#

ah

maiden kayak
#

im now hoarding in zzz

#

but not easy tho

chrome nest
#

I can’t have patience for that long

#

It’s either get it fast or wait for 2 years until I finally unlock it

summer goblet
#

that and I love Star Wars

#

a lot

tardy fiber
lunar thistle
#

I don't think Pokemon masters is actually ding tbh

chrome nest
#

I’m referring to galactic legends

lunar thistle
#

This is just one (albeit massive) misstep

tardy fiber
#

And some can even complete in a week now

lunar thistle
#

The game would need much more to die

tardy fiber
robust plaza
summer goblet
#

yeah, i'm not sure i have any self control in star wars lol

#

love way too many characters

tardy fiber
#

Then you should play

chrome nest
#

They are f2p grindable

tardy fiber
#

Easy to be f2p too

summer goblet
#

ah

fallen path
chrome nest
#

Prepare for patience

tardy fiber
#

Yep just patient and just use skip tickets daily lol

chrome nest
#

Swgoh teaches you patience not masters tho

summer goblet
#

patience is the key to be a great Jedi

#

though a Sith loves to do shortcuts

tardy fiber
#

You will also need patient to form sith team SophoKEK

fallen path
#

the mix scout version in pomas is kinda like a lsb in swgoh

#

except the lightspeed bundle costs more lol

summer goblet
#

as soon as i get a new iphone with a massive storage upgrade, i will add one more gacha game on hand

chrome nest
summer goblet
#

good thing i am not a dbz fan

#

well i heard honkai starrail is good

#

that even my mom knows about this game

#

and want me to try it out lol

maiden kayak
#

why not use pc

#

i think pc have better exp

summer goblet
#

yeah i can do pc

#

for honkai

maiden kayak
#

hoyo games are better in pc

#

anyways thats offtopic here but yea

chrome nest
#

I play way to many Gacha games and not actual games

robust plaza
#

I play Shin Megami Tensei Liberation Dx2 but it’s a heavily p2w pvp game

#

I’m legend rank top 100 every week

summer goblet
#

i been off 2 months playing acutal games latly and its been fun

fallen path
#

the good ole days when pomas wasn't as predatory

chrome nest
maiden kayak
#

i dont mind the “predatory” cos they do need to make money at certain point

#

its the lack of innovation im very pissed off

chrome nest
#

And that’s coming from someone who’s been playing since 0.5 year anni

fallen path
#

we got 4 mfs at the same time

#

the mad lads did it

summer goblet
#

part of me rather have 0.5% but still keep 400 scout points

#

then 500 scout points 1%

#

if its 2% on 500 scout points, i won't mind at all

chrome nest
#

I kinda did jinx it with a new banner format that’s worse than master fairs

#

My bad

fallen path
summer goblet
#

that's a lot of fives

chrome nest
#

They’re not changing the amount of gems required to do a multi on these banners right?

fallen path
#

ofc not lol

summer goblet
#

well, Brendan and Sceptile arc suit when lol

maiden kayak
#

eww no

summer goblet
#

i want another Sceptile alt

chrome nest
#

Arc suits are just a lazy cash grab

tardy fiber
#

Although i might have to wait for in game animation, if the arc pairs have like golden glow when they are in battle. I will cut them just a little bit of slack

maiden kayak
#

they literally make arceus a literal joke in this anni ngl

chrome nest
#

X unit and there original Pokémon that they released with

fallen path
#

you just made me realize something

chrome nest
fallen path
#

arc suits are just gonna be reskinned current units

#

omg

#

lol

summer goblet
#

i want Arceus so i will await for its glorious power

fallen path
#

oh no

summer goblet
#

this might cause me to go on save mode

#

and going to pick and choose from now on

chrome nest
#

Arceus will released not as an arc unit, but ultra maximum arc suit

#

Speaking of anni what’s your favorite anni?

#

Mines second year

tardy fiber
#

I wonder if arc suit Lear can give him a valid reason for hoopa unbound, like it still considered as the same Hoopa. Just like cynthia with her exact garchomp and etc for steven and lance

fallen path
#

so dena can be lazy and just get more money

#

oof

summer goblet
#

eos is near

fallen path
#

yeah, i might join you two necro and aqua and going f2p

#

well. i'm just reallocating money to swgoh anyways

summer goblet
#

though can't wait for some dummie on reddit to defend dena that its how gacha games work

maiden kayak
#

same

chrome nest
#

I plan on abandoning the game soon because of this

tardy fiber
#

I will still buy sync orb bundle just for selects

maiden kayak
#

at least hoyo is actually innovating

tardy fiber
#

But not gonna buy other deals

summer goblet
#

i am going to go f2p

#

prehaps this will get me to reach 1 mil gems

fallen path
#

ima be honest, if they increase the select price, i'm just gonna drain my paid gems on mix

summer goblet
#

that Chest has reach

chrome nest
#

I always miss this games pity system

fallen path
#

when they made the 3k paid selects, 5k. i was so pissed

summer goblet
#

you know what, screw it

chrome nest
#

The only other Gacha game I play with a pity system doesn’t include the main unit from the banner

summer goblet
#

from then on, i pull only once or twice a year from now on

#

as soon as i get my hoenn nc

#

and sinnoh and alola nc as well

#

then i shall skip everyone not fav

fallen path
#

im honesty curious, if hypothetically dena announce eos and you have 500k. u would summon right?

summer goblet
#

so practically anyone not brock, hau and steven

tardy fiber
#

Play swgoh necro, you seem to be like a patient person as you can save 500k gems so hero collector games is a nice fit for you

maiden kayak
#

i will stream my pulls if that happens

fallen path
#

"burn, baby, burn!"

maiden kayak
#

i still have 450k++

summer goblet
summer goblet
maiden kayak
#

yea

summer goblet
#

dang, so i am ahead of you

maiden kayak
#

|| ss nemona burned a pity||

summer goblet
#

don't worry, i be below you very soon

lusty prism
#

tbh, my only disappointment is the 500 scout point. 36,6 for a pity is enough already AshGoodGrief

Unless they decided to give us more monthly gems thats fine. will wait for the datamine tmr for the gems count

fallen path
#

you know they won't if it's a non anni month

summer goblet
#

after 5 years playing everyday

#

prehaps its time to step back a bit

fallen path
#

i don't like sounding pessimistic but

chrome nest
#

I have step backed from this game since 3.5 anni

fallen path
#

if it's staring ya right in the face, you gotta face the facts eventually

chrome nest
#

And came back occasionally

lusty prism
#

yeah, its a long stretch but eh

#

dena is releasing another game pokemon related right

fallen path
#

we gotta understand a lot of gacha don't survive 5 years

lusty prism
#

tcg pocket

chrome nest
tardy fiber
#

From swgoh web store

summer goblet
#

thanks for the tip Vantner

tardy fiber
#

No problem because i also relatively new, just played it for about 2 weeks

summer goblet
#

awsome

fallen path
#

swgoh has been available since 2015, so 9 year anniversary in november

summer goblet
#

dang

lusty prism
#

Ngl the only way im enjoying pokemon is pomas and some of the newly released pokemon core games (just recently played scarlet dlc). Miss playing firered and such

#

||time for emulation i guess SophoKEK||

#

||and romhack||

fallen path
#

maybe y'all can ping me in plaza for your swgoh friend codes when u got the time so we don't venture too far off topic lol

chrome nest
#

I want to replay swgoh since I still need to get sith eternal emperor but my patience isn’t allowing me to

tardy fiber
#

I will still play poma though because i love pokemon lore

summer goblet
#

i love pokemon as well

lusty prism
#

lore is what kept me going

tardy fiber
#

But for gacha games its best that you have multiple games for easier saving and resist pulling

#

So i play hsr and swgoh too

chrome nest
#

The fact I forget masters until their anni is wild for me

lusty prism
#

i do play some ZZZ, idk about the other mihoyo games. this one seems really clicking w me

chrome nest
#

But for other Gacha games I play theirs monthly

#

Until I get bored of it and stop

tardy fiber
#

My phone cannot afford zzz and changing a new phone will cost more money WulfricKEKW

summer goblet
#

aside from swgoh

#

i could try hoyo games like honkai

fallen path
tardy fiber
fallen path
#

and now with arc i basically can't summon lol

lusty prism
chrome nest
#

Swgoh had some math involved

#

Actually no

#

It has a lot of math involved

summer goblet
#

oof, like calculus

#

or just basic math

fallen path
#

swgoh has 14 million backlogs you have to handle

#

so you have to be really patient

summer goblet
#

i can handle it

fallen path
#

i have a 6 mil swgoh account, so when #main-plaza cools down from 5th anni breakdown, y'all can hmu on advices and stuff

chrome nest
#

Like you need to count the speed for characters, the investment for that specific character

summer goblet
#

ahh

chrome nest
#

Try to have fun

#

There’s my tip

#

Anyways back to masters

summer goblet
#

right

#

i play gacha game for the lore and franchise

#

and chater

chrome nest
#

Is fully stepping back ffrom the game a good idea?

fallen path
#

yes

chrome nest
#

I’ve been thinking about for a long time

fallen path
#

because it's a game

chrome nest
#

Since 3.5 anni

#

I can’t keep up with anni units and new events

summer goblet
#

i will say yeah

chrome nest
#

I step back for 6 months but never fully

summer goblet
#

if you plan to skip some days here and there

#

i be semi steping down ish

#

def don't want to follow the meta anymore

fallen path
#

i still login every day, but i skip battle rally (i have said this before here)

#

i still haven't done LG yet

summer goblet
#

i fastpace the dallies

tardy fiber
summer goblet
#

i pretty much retire from CS and do it once a week

fallen path
#

i do CS on sunday evenings lol

summer goblet
#

still love pokemon masters

#

just kinda too much things too do

#

like dm challenge

fallen path
#

miss u aurochs MayHey

summer goblet

and lg/ralley

maiden kayak
#

BR is a chore

tardy fiber
#

Stopped afk arena because every new season will need to farm equipment from scratch

summer goblet
#

tell me about it

fallen path
#

i don't min max anymore

summer goblet
#

i kinda been playing less pokemon masters for the past 2 months

fallen path
#

it's weird, when the CS scores had be 12.5k or whatever, the mode kinda lost its luster. cuz i liked doing theme clears

summer goblet
#

and just focus on other entertainment like persona 5 royal and now gta

fallen path
#

and obviously at 15k points i pretty much can't do them anymore

tardy fiber
fallen path
#

yeah but i don't have favs and i like switching things up

summer goblet
#

i retired from this stupid community CS challenge due to a bit of toxicity

tardy fiber
#

Thats why i hate BR and hs as i cannot do faves only

fallen path
#

i like memes

summer goblet
#

i enjoy BR but the difficult spike is insane

fallen path
#

i like doing silly random things in a silly mobile game

summer goblet
#

like really insane

#

why did it get hard past stage 8

tropic bolt
#

So…

#

500 scout points.

#

That’s a thing I guess.

lunar thistle
#

So should I get welkin

tardy fiber
#

For the arc pairs only

chrome nest
#

I like doing stupid stuffs in Dokkan battle but in masters I rarely do because I want to get things over with

fallen path
tropic bolt
#

Very nice of them to tell me to become Gem Zen with these banners.

tardy fiber
tough oriole
# lunar thistle So should I get welkin

Daily Gem Bundle EX? It’s the most efficient regularly appearing gem deal (tho usually we get a 1k gem deal for a competitive price at anni) but only you can decide whether spending money is a good thing

fallen path
#

miss your clears too winston PrycePain

tough oriole
maiden kayak
#

just zen

#

not even worth pulling lol

fallen path
tough oriole
#

Honestly I feel like recording them has made me more burnt out over time, since it’s a hassle reducing video sizes

summer goblet
#

i am waiting for dena to give me that 3k gem refferal

#

they still owe me that

lusty prism
#

me too!

winged fossil

Just saw the trailer and…
I’m not upset…?
Just… disappointed.

tardy fiber

Anyway pink suit oak in 6 minutes

tardy fiber
winged fossil
#

I mean I’ll take the free fav (Lillie is free it sounds like)

versed flame
summer goblet
#

a free unit is the best unit

chrome nest
#

A free scout banner is the best banner format

winged fossil
#

But man the rest of it just is depressing. A five hundred scout point scout type honestly disgusts me a bit.

fallen path
#

i am still manifesting anni lillie (alt 2) to be sprint field

winged fossil

Especially for what looks like just reskins

tardy fiber
summer goblet
#

welp, can't fret now

fallen path
#

honesty, the only thing you can change is to not give them money

summer goblet
#

yeah

fallen path
#

cuz money talks ya kno

summer goblet
#

time for a new plan for me

winged fossil
#

I’m especially sad for no bikes seemingly. Was honestly hoping

fallen path
#

i really wanted tera

chrome nest
#

How long will this game last

#

I’m curious with their current state

tardy fiber
#

I keep giving them the same amount when there's fave or not. As sync orb bundle has the best value and its timegated

winged fossil
#

Prob gonna zen unless one of the side banners catch my eye

summer goblet
#

if pokemon masters ends

#

then rip them

#

time to go for a new game

chrome nest
#

I don’t expect masters to last as long as let’s say one piece treasure cruise or Dokkan

tardy fiber
chrome nest
#

10 years is a high doubt

summer goblet
#

i am surprise swgoh lasted that long too

maiden kayak
summer goblet
#

since you know, star wars is always finky with the fans
