Trainer Lodge

[alpine flare]

falkner talks about him all the time

[hard badger]

Brendan and Falkners quotes are both pretty similar too both wanting to catch up to dad

[ashen wasp]

you do realize there can be 2 people with the same name right?

[alpine flare]

boys with daddy issues are dime a dozen

[ashen wasp]

doesn't mean it's the same damn person

[quasi sigil]

obviously the better headcanon here is norman is both Falkner's and Brendan's father

[alpine flare]

i'm sure that's what they were implying

[quasi sigil]

Brendan is Hoenn MC
Hoenn MC moved from Johto
Confirmed

[hard badger]

I don't think there's any doubt that Brendan is Norman's son

[alpine flare]

but falkner calls him a bird master so

[hard badger]

Does he?

Falkner himself is called a bird master because he specializes in flying types the pokemon his father left him were normal types

[alpine flare]

guess not, i looked through his quotes page

Before battle (final round)

"I'll show you the real power of the magnificent bird Pokémon! Dad! I hope you're watching me battle from above!"

sure sounds like he's dead though

[hard badger]

The only blue haired normal type specialist we know of is Norman

[ashen wasp]

his father is named Walker...

[alpine flare]

"Hey, this is Falkner. How are you doing? You've chatted with Janine in Fuchsia City, haven't you? All she ever talks about is her dad, you know? Endlessly. I mean, it's good to have a healthy respect for your dad, but it's better to have some self-confidence! Don't you have faith in your own abilities?"

[ashen wasp]

so yeah, Norman has nothing to do with him

[alpine flare]

to be fair that's manga canon

can have different game canon

[hard badger]

From that it sounds like Falkner always preferred birds and wanted to prove they were better than his dad's specialty

[ashen wasp]

that's literally the only place where they ever mention his name

[hard badger]

Wasn't Courtney named Margaret in the manga?

In any case I'm not going by adventures

[glad acorn]

Need more pokefair

At least not as bad as a grandpa who forgot his grandson's name || ||

[worldly ivy]

blue.......................

[vernal shadow]

but my gender equality

who cares about gender

it's all about the money money money

[rocky sparrow]

Not the time or place for this take it to #off-topic-old or pm

[alpine flare]

?? it's trainer lodge

[glad acorn]

This forum is for the trainer lodge mode, not offtopic corner

Try #off-topic-old

[vernal shadow]

Back to what I was talking about

[alpine flare]

u should see this channel when the silver fans are here 😂

[vernal shadow]

"who cares about gender" equality for the next batch of trainers lodge trainers, whenever they come

There, it's now on-topic

Please don't let the Lodge be about the money

[alpine flare]

the current batch is kinda equal already innit

[glad acorn]

What does that even mean? You're making me drop my attention faster since its not hot topic

[alpine flare]

i can't remember off the top of my head

[hard badger]

If we don't count Rosa then it's even 50 50 split

[glad acorn]

5 dudes and 4 dudettes next

[hard badger]

I don't think we'll get 2 unova again

[vernal shadow]

Dudes from: Hoenn; Sinnoh; one from Unova; Alola; Galar
Dudettes from: Kanto; Johto; another one from Unova; Kalos

[alpine flare]

gotta get alder so i don't regret picking him over n

please

[vernal shadow]

Wildcard region time!

[hard badger]

Next should be C Iris

[vernal shadow]

it's gonna be misty, isn't it

[hard badger]

Maybe regular Iris

[alpine flare]

nah brock

[glad acorn]

Many wanted Gladion in lodge

[hard badger]

Why?

[alpine flare]

me

[urban flicker]

So, I was checking in the Place category which places Rosa likes most and it says "Bustling places"

[glad acorn]

Favorite, duh

[urban flicker]

I've got nothing to lose so

[alpine flare]

~~replace silver with gladion though they are the same ~~

[glad acorn]

Kanto is either Sabrina, Misty or Erika. Every choices is fine

[urban flicker]

I'll try to choose a location to see if it affects the interaction, as in the answers that appear

[alpine flare]

it do

[hard badger]

Always choose lodge because everyone likes lodge (except Silver)

[glad acorn]

For now we wait for the dataminers to "do something" and see if places have better rates etc

[alpine flare]

always choose lodge cuz it saves 2 seconds cutscene

[glad acorn]

I am onto the assumption that higher unlock places give better topics

[hard badger]

No one likes the ruins but Cynthia

[urban flicker]

at level 50 friendship level you unlock the final location

[glad acorn]

There should be a reason why places are not fully unlocked on the fly

[hard badger]

Will we have to unlock stages again if we switch to a new pair?

[alpine flare]

yes

[cold ferry]

wasnt there a image with hop and red in the expeditions?

[hard badger]

Red in the lodge would be perfect

[glad acorn]

That is from the tutorial.

[cold ferry]

can i see it

[glad acorn]

Okay, gotta confirm a thing. Apparently a level 30 pair does have a more detailed gifting animation for the daily

I don't need these though

[odd cove]

So I know you can reset a conversation in the lodge and get everything back

But is there a way to know if a conversation is about to end and be able to reset before that?

Because I realized the lodge is pretty good about 'saving' your attempt once the conversation is about to end

And I haven't been able to reset a conversation that was clearly about to end

[modest delta]

Makes up for yesterday

[marble hemlock]

you generally have to reset before picking a topic. don't recommend resetting after the 3rd round, since you risk getting 95%'ed each time

I heard you can also uninstall and reinstall the game or something

[slim cape]

can you get ultra crystals from anything but rare caches?

i need them to get 6th slot

[glad acorn]

No way to tell that. In fact, the moment you choose the last topic, everything is calculated but not shown

[slim cape]

the gold tier of the coloured mats

[glad acorn]

My yield for the day. Pretty nice

[urban flicker]

not bad

conversation ended at 64%, still did from 49 to 58

[glad acorn]

Didn't bother to count the orbs and coins because those are worthless

[modest delta]

lodge is a coin sink now though

not that most people will run out regardless

[urban flicker]

I am not really worried about coins

[glad acorn]

Unless you invested on the wrong boost.

[urban flicker]

new players tho probably can't afford to buy boosters

[glad acorn]

<-- Dude who bought all the first four at 100x

I don't think they are going anywhere

[urban flicker]

and if you are a new player and don't know what you are doing, that's probably what you are gonna do, when Lodge dropped I had no idea what those booster items did or what they were gonna affect

so i bought one of each

not really an issue tho cause I have like 40 million coins

[glad acorn]

I think the daily stamina usage should give you enough coin to suffice daily omni boost

[urban flicker]

I think by the end of this week if I am lucky enough Rosa should reach Lv100

[glad acorn]

Gonna attempt a few 1.5x with marnie later

[slim cape]

are rare caches better for gold mats or just getting a high level for the corresponding colour

[glad acorn]

Caches are better for the silver mats, or the great crystals. Ultra doesn't have much outlet outside of the tier 3 presents

Those cost a fortune

[slim cape]

ultra is pretty useful for me rn considering i need it to buy 6th expedition slot

[glad acorn]

Ah, then get it first by all means

Anyone grinding pairs should be focusing on great crystals for feel rings and some presents here and there

[slim cape]

grinding pairs?

[glad acorn]

Levelling the friendship = grinding

[slim cape]

well, i guess i'm grinding then?

isn't everyone?

[urban flicker]

wait... I was thinking something

[glad acorn]

Yes, at least one pair to level 30 because the daily gift isn't some small change

[urban flicker]

what if the sync pair story of that sync pair is the preferred location during interaction

[glad acorn]

We have 2% to get a coin from the level 30 pair. No reason not to speedrun for it

[slim cape]

i have cynthia at 41, but i realised it's been 2 days and i still haven't got any ultra fiery crystals

can't get the 6th slot

[glad acorn]

Or we can at least guess it from the topic points

[glad acorn]

Focus on fiery crystals then. Set up two teams that go 10-1-1-10

[trim sedge]

wheres the link to see the badges for all interactions

im tryna see the best things to choose for blue

[glad acorn]

Try pomatool

[urban flicker]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/lodge/

[trim sedge]

ty

[slim cape]

idk if i have the facilities for that

i can try

are there any sample teams

[ornate latch]

My bad luck today is insane
Me: “Maybe Ill get N to level 65 today”
N: Leaves at 92%

[wide sorrel]

It think tmr I’ll be able to do a 6x gold item run

[slim cape]

there aren't any 10-1-1-10 5 man teams on here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pCUEakjQ75T5hQ66eq6EO7eoCS04rt7rUoECZZI_ebk/edit#gid=359629994

[wide sorrel]

Maybe cause it not possible…

[slim cape]

probably

[alpine flare]

Bruh if u just missing one just go 10/0/0/0 or whatever till you get it

[glad acorn]

Maybe after you get 6 slots. You have to skip some chest to get the other first

[alpine flare]

No need to get greedy for just a few hours

[slim cape]

getting 10 on the desired colour is not a problem

[urban flicker]

I totally ignored chest at the beginning, I was more focused on specific colors to get 6 slots quickly

[glad acorn]

Just time it. You should be getting 30 ultra crystals every hour at level 10. Set up teams to get the last few crystals you need

[urban flicker]

that's probably the way to go

[reef cargo]

It’s kinda unreal getting to 2% attention left

[slim cape]

just using two teams that are level 10 in red + another colour

[glad acorn]

That's a jackpot. Too bad only 1x

[reef cargo]

Yeah I don’t do the multi interactions

My first 2 were busts lol

[glad acorn]

I can understand that. Doing 3x or 6x and getting dropped is mood

[north moat]

SILVER GAVE ME A SUPPORT CANDY COIN

AND HAD AN ANIMATION FOR TAKING AN ITEM OUT OF HIS POCKET??

Oh if anyone didn’t get the data, SST Red gives +2 Yellow

[glad acorn]

Yeah, they have a more elaborated gifting animation at level 30

Not like the usual gifting in pokecenter

[blazing sapphire]

3 from items but why do I have 8?

[icy wagon]

Wutt

[autumn stone]

imagine 6x that would be 1,973.4

[urban flicker]

I can only think of something, you bought 3 extra interaction yesterday and you interacted just 1 time leaving you with 5 interaction left

then this morning you bought again extra 3 interaction

maybe you forgot to use all of your interaction yesterday

[blazing sapphire]

This feels unlikely

[urban flicker]

no idea why you have 8 then

tell us your magic trick

[quiet vortex]

Woo!

[long nymph]

Guys my rosa gave me the rumored move coin

not sure if this helps, but she is level 48

[vernal shadow]

everyone is now level 5, with may level 7

Who to go on? Not sure who my fave is

doing it equally seems to be a godawful strat

and what happens when you close the game in the middle of an interaction

[wind badger]

How much Lodge stones are needed for unit dupes?

[long nymph]

i just gonna focus on 1 till level 100 and only then move to the next

[vernal shadow]

I dunno

[wind badger]

Tempted to use the lodge stones to buy lvl150 items for Red

But if those dupes cost like 1k, i might just hold off

[blazing sapphire]

I'd hold off for now

[visual remnant]

Iirc someone said 400

[marble hemlock]

seems to be 500 for lodge unit dupes
#1012298913279127582 message

[wind badger]

Eh. 500 isnt much

Striker/techs have so many candies anyway

[vernal shadow]

10 for each level up

[wind badger]

Its just the supps that need the dupes

[vernal shadow]

2000 total levelup stones

200 level-ups

two people needed to reach level 100 for a 5/5 lodge unit

but to be honest 3/5 seems to be the absolute best

[wind badger]

Never really need 5/5 unless fave

[glad acorn]

You are spreading yourself to thin. Get one to 30 asap

[vernal shadow]

May's level 7, so I'm gonna keep using her

[urban flicker]

do you even wanna waste your lodge stone to get dupes of lodge units

[vernal shadow]

furthest gone, so why stop using her?

[urban flicker]

I'd rather use 4 star candies

[vernal shadow]

good thinking

[wind badger]

For supports yes since them candy are limited

Strikers and techs couldnt care less

[urban flicker]

They throw at us 4 star candies like nothing in events

[glad acorn]

I'd do that for support and tech. Those are more limited.

Strike, well, just yolo

[urban flicker]

I haven't been using 4 star candies at all

didn't know that the 4 star support candy were pretty limited

[glad acorn]

They give out support and tech in less amount compared to strike

[wind badger]

Techs i still got like 24. Supports on the other hand have 6 and i barely use em

[urban flicker]

oh that's true

I have 54 4 star striker candy, 27 4 star tech candy and 8 4 star support candy

[glad acorn]

I say it's totally cool to spend candies on strike pairs. The other two should use the lodge stones

[wind badger]

After people complained that dena was giving too many 4* support candies when the only unit who can use it was Drake, they stopped giving them

[vernal shadow]

bring em back

[urban flicker]

Do any of the Lodge sync pairs have interesting expedition skill?

[wind badger]

Still hopeful that we can one day exchange 5 candies for an upgrade

[urban flicker]

I probably won't bother to be getting dupes or use them in battles

Man, why this anni sync pair sucks in their expedition skill

SST Red has soothing 2

Ash fiery 2

[glad acorn]

To be fair, Anni Lillie is just Fiery 2

Yeah, it's a jerk move that we can't even see the expedition skill from the banner preview

[next junco]

[wind badger]

Villains seem to be the way to go lol

[swift basin]

It's 3 days in a row that my conversations end at 90% attention, is there a bug?

[wind badger]

Just unlucky

[swift basin]

Starting to doubt that, it's too consistent :/

[glad acorn]

You know how often you get burned by Entei's first flamethrower? Exactly that

[winter galleon]

Yeah it sucks tbh

[swift basin]

Never had a convo going below 70% ever

Maybe once since start

[winter galleon]

Unless we've just assumed 90% = 10% chance to fail but maybe the rates are wrong

[glad acorn]

I'll just assume that so to save me less headache

The only thing certain is that the game never fails on me at 100% attention

[worldly ivy]

I wonder if their attention wears out earlier as ur level gets higher??? Cause I swear silver has been peacing out on me a lot sooner recently than he did when lodge first dropped

[winter galleon]

90% attention = 50% chance to fail

[winter galleon]

Oh you too?? I just got two 89 pointers in a row

He doesn't let me give a present after Max Vibes or he doesn't Max Vibes at all

[worldly ivy]

Like maybe it's just me being unluckier recently or confirmation bias or smth but I swear the rates have been worse recently

Haven't done mine today yet tho

[winter galleon]

I'm at 52 now and yeah its just really unlucky recently

I mean if it's the case I'll just move to someone else

[pastel swallow]

YOOO

any rates for coins

[soft tree]

whats better, doing 6 convos at once or one by one?

[vernal shadow]

fix the rates damn you

[pastel swallow]

indesperately need to know

[vernal shadow]

rareish

[next junco]

Like 0.1% or sth

[glad acorn]

0.5% for each coin. So 2% in total

[pastel swallow]

if u wanna do reset method, 6 at one go

[glad acorn]

Only at level 30 and above

[pastel swallow]

thats actually pretty damn high

[soft tree]

idk whats reset method

[glad acorn]

That's why I suggest to speedrun to level 30

[next junco]

so basically get poke fair unit in single pull everyday

[pastel swallow]

just one unit right?

[glad acorn]

DeNA : Don't get ahead of yourself

Of course one

[glad acorn]

Closing the app when you are presented 3 clickable topics. That will reset hot topics and topics generated without consuming any items. Never do it after pressing on a topic. That's an easy void

[blazing sapphire]

It voids it completely?

[pastel swallow]

yea

[glad acorn]

Yeah. I lost a 6x that way

[pastel swallow]

u can go test if u want

[glad acorn]

Don't be me

[soft tree]

wait

at the start?

only

[pastel swallow]

repeat the points to him

[glad acorn]

Any time you are given 3 topics

[pastel swallow]

in point form

[long nymph]

i just do one at a time, luckily i did that today...twice my rosa ended the convo at 3rd topic

[glad acorn]

I swear I need to stop being this helpful fellow. I have been repeating the same tips like a Wikipedia now

[pastel swallow]

mods never pin?

wheres the text for the tips

[soft tree]

calm lmao

[pastel swallow]

ill ask a mod to pin

[soft tree]

it wasnt clear

[soft tree]

"after pressing on a topic" sounds like it only works at the start

[glad acorn]

I did say "When you are presented with 3 clickable topics" if that is not clear enough, I'm gonna 95% myself

[fickle fox]

today's a good day

[glad acorn]

and it's okay. I'm not mad

[soft tree]

so

does resetting change the fav topic?

[glad acorn]

Yes

[next junco]

lv 50+ team

5 more days

[soft tree]

eeeeeeeh then why should i do that

i cant know the topic afterwards

the glasses only work for the first topic, no?

if i reset the glasses effect is gone i guess

or no

[glad acorn]

How to Get a Good Interaction Going 101
(Get specs, shovels and juice. Ring if you can afford it since it helps to get you Hot Topics and unchosen topics get shuffled back with latest update)
1st topic - 10 pointer
2nd or 3rd topic - Hot topic to get into max vibe. No max vibe? Close the app to reset (Do it only when you have 3 clickable topics. Doing it mid animation will void that interaction)
(Max Vibe) - 10 pointer
5th and onward - Hot topics. Use presents whenever your attention drops to 90% for tier1, 80% for tier2 and 70% for tier3. Tier1 is only when you're starting with limited resources

Addendum : Hope for good rng

[pastel swallow]

Lethargist Reset Tips
-First 2 converstions aim to get at least 20 points , if you do not get max vibe or 20 points by then, reset

-If max vibes does not have ideal answers, reset(Dont give presents , wasting opportunity)

-After max vibes (Choose best answers>>>hot topic

Items needed: Glasses, Rings are needed (at the very least)

@drowsy pollen hey possible to pin reset method here?sry for the ping

[soft tree]

hmm

[next junco]

just guaratee to get max vibe and give silver gift on 5th topic every interaction. That is 10 lv per day

[soft tree]

lets try

[glad acorn]

Ring is definitely a necessity in order for you to hopefully get more hot topics

Sometimes they still don't throw any at you

[urban flicker]

Selects hot topic.
Hey, so yeah, cool argument but I gotta go

interaction in a nutshell

[glad acorn]

Well, sometimes the pair is just busy

[urban flicker]

fortunately I still didn't get dumped at like 95%

[glad acorn]

Let's not jinx yourself

No one would wish that kind of burn on their worst enemies

[soft tree]

uh

help

[pastel swallow]

yea but the first 5 topics if u do reset method u are in control

[soft tree]

so i can choose exercise (hot topic but 7 points) or uniforms (10 points)

but not hot topic

what do i do

[pastel swallow]

afterwards is praying for rng

[pastel swallow]

for which ?

[glad acorn]

Hot topics in general is better since less attention drop

[soft tree]

ah tidying up is 7p hot topic too

marnie

[pastel swallow]

i mean

which number topic

[soft tree]

1

[pastel swallow]

5th 6th?

1st

just reset lol

[glad acorn]

Since the hot topic reduces loss by half rounded down

[soft tree]

huh?

but i have a hot topic

[pastel swallow]

this

[urban flicker]

yeah, but it's useless to select the hot topic at the first interaction where attention does not drop

[pastel swallow]

hot topic has chance to activate max vibes but too early

[urban flicker]

and you also waste max vibes

[soft tree]

right

[pastel swallow]

u are wasting that 2nd free turn

[soft tree]

so uniforms then

[pastel swallow]

yea

but overall hit max vibes after turn 2

2nd answer must at least be hot topic

[soft tree]

it wasnt

so i should reseT?

im at 21 points

[pastel swallow]

ideally its like this
1st turn: Ideal answer
2nd turn: Hot topic at least

na

above 20 points should be ok

[soft tree]

but i have no hot topic in 3, either

@_@

[pastel swallow]

huh

[glad acorn]

Are you in max vibe? If not, reset

It's too risky to go on

[urban flicker]

First of all I wanna ask

are you using items and presents

[soft tree]

obv

[urban flicker]

ok

[soft tree]

o_o

[pastel swallow]

this

[soft tree]

hmmmmmmmmmm

i got a hot topic in 2

no max vibes tho

[next junco]

Oh so if you're lv 50 you only need 30 silver gift more bruh i can start to change team to grind other color now

[soft tree]

i have another hot topic in 3 though

[drowsy pollen]

I'm happy to pin, I just need a bit more clarity - by conversation do you mean individual interactions, or topics within a single interaction?

[glad acorn]

Depends on you. I'd personally reset to try again

[pastel swallow]

doesnt matter

[drowsy pollen]

And what exactly does "reset" mean?

[pastel swallow]

single interaction

[glad acorn]

How about this one?

[pastel swallow]

before u choose a topic (force exit the app)

[drowsy pollen]

We will need to be clear about that, otherwise it's confusing

[next junco]

Someone should make guide for multiple interactions in 1 go tho.... I'm kinda affair to do it

[pastel swallow]

u need to add (cannot reset in mid animation)

[pastel swallow]

it applies to interaction at one go as well

i mean the reset guide

[urban flicker]

you could change that "Reset" in simply "Close your game"

[drowsy pollen]

It's good, just add a bit more explanation around what the point of the guide is - since anyone reading the pin won't have context

[next junco]

So you only need interact once?

[pastel swallow]

yes

[next junco]

I see

[pastel swallow]

but its a huge gamble

[drowsy pollen]

Ping me or another mod when you're done

[pastel swallow]

cos if rng sux u ending with lousy pointsx3

[next junco]

i find do single give more point

[nocturne aurora]

hello chat, today we drop the 6x bs and do it one by one because rng is not fair otherwise

[next junco]

Unless you super lucky

[glad acorn]

How's it now?

[pastel swallow]

if u use reset method, just do 6 at one go lol

[next junco]

do 3 interaction each

Less rng

[nocturne aurora]

nah i don't reset but my last 2 days were 6x and Lillie dropped before i could give a present
awful

[next junco]

Bruh lilie is pretty moody tho

[soft tree]

if i choose a hot topic at 1 she gets max vibes at 1
if i choose a normal topic and then a hot topic at 2 i dont get max vibes

:(((((((((((((

wtf

[lost pumice]

Same

Wasted my 2 interaction today

[soft tree]

are we sure you should get max vibes at 2

and not 3

[next junco]

just buy juice

[pastel swallow]

buy fcking juice lol

[lost pumice]

I had juice

[next junco]

Juice is second most important item i confirm

[soft tree]

who says i didnt

calm

[next junco]

Ring is a hoax

[soft tree]

x2

[pastel swallow]

attention drops after 2nd turn

[next junco]

[lost pumice]

Maybe Cynthia just didn't want to talk today

[pastel swallow]

because u can go 3rd turn and activate max vibes , after max vibes and u get dropped lol

[urban flicker]

by the way

[lost pumice]

Still reached 48 to 58

[urban flicker]

why SSA Cynthia gets a special snapshot and story while Red and Ash don't

[next junco]

[urban flicker]

in the lodge

[next junco]

About to get 100

[onyx quarry]

When are they adding Red to the trainer lodge

[glad acorn]

Time to get the juice box then

[lost pumice]

Its because she is Cynthia

[onyx quarry]

Easiest dialogue options ever

[next junco]

[sharp bramble]

Nice

[pastel swallow]

lvl 64 cynthia

[sharp bramble]

Just like the dialogue

[pastel swallow]

woo hoo

[sharp bramble]

Oh nice, I'm only level 60

[next junco]

He has 5 kind of noise tho

[urban flicker]

I was always triggeting max vibes on 3rd topic with Juice

[onyx quarry]

Im only getting level 50 today, only been getting consistent 120+ scores the last two days

[urban flicker]

maybe I should save on some wishful silver crystal

[lost pumice]

Option 1 || ... ||
Option 2|| ....!||
Option 3|| .........!||

[soft tree]

when do i give the item?

as soon as they go to 80?

[lost pumice]

I meant gift?

[next junco]

Interesting topic : ....!

[soft tree]

• what if i dont get hot topics in max vibes

[lost pumice]

Yeah ig

[lost pumice]

Pick super exciting ig

[urban flicker]

in max vibes you want to get 10 pointers answer

[glad acorn]

Any time you can use it to bring it close to 100%

[soft tree]

i got one hot topic and one not so idk

o

[next junco]

If you dont get max vibe in hot topic it will zoom out

[soft tree]

no like

im in max vibes

[next junco]

Fail chance pretty high tho

[soft tree]

first topic wasnt hot

second was

[visual remnant]

During Max Vibes, Hot Topics don't matter

[soft tree]

o

i see

[visual remnant]

Just go for highest points

Since no attention drops

[glad acorn]

During Max vibe, grab all 10 pointers

[nocturne aurora]

it just hit me but, if you use a topic say "Cute Pokemon" does it disappear from further topics from being used?

[visual remnant]

I guess technically you want the 2nd Max Vibe topic to be Hot ideally

Since that does drop

[glad acorn]

I think so? I didn't really keep track but seems likely

[visual remnant]

But rather prioritise the double 10 if possible

[soft tree]

this is a joke im done

[glad acorn]

Would be creepy if you kept talking about Piers or Hilbert

[soft tree]

can i still reset

[next junco]

I guess kinda

[urban flicker]

If you select an answer in an interaction, that same answer won't appear again

[soft tree]

like im rlly done

[next junco]

I never see repet

[nocturne aurora]

ok makes sense

[urban flicker]

unless you refresh topics with gift

[soft tree]

[next junco]

Reset

[soft tree]

its topic n8

[glad acorn]

You still have clickable topics, so yes

[next junco]

[nocturne aurora]

and also you can only have 1 max vibe right?

[next junco]

Yes

[visual remnant]

Seems so

[glad acorn]

Yeah, one time only

[nocturne aurora]

don't use the d word

[next junco]

That word is banned her

[glad acorn]

Since subsequent hot topics don't do a thing outside of reducing attention drops

[next junco]

Like "pay" in gem zen

[soft tree]

i was replying to their message

so

this

[visual remnant]

Money????

Pull????

[next junco]

[glad acorn]

Okay, let's not call it a date. An "appointment"

[next junco]

Hang out

[urban flicker]

If you could trigger max vibes more then 1 times during an interaction, then maybe

I could forgive them for this bad RNG of sync pairs leaving randomly at 95%

[visual remnant]

A mutually agreed upon rendezvous at a certain time and place

[nocturne aurora]

this

[winter galleon]

This

[next junco]

Do we have good location for each sync pair?

[next junco]

I dunno like Cynthia like ruin and Lilie like beach or sth

[soft tree]

arent tthey identical

[lost pumice]

Idk if location matters

[drowsy pollen]

@glad acorn it's a good little FYI, thank you we may unpin once we've got some more comprehensive guides ready, but thank you very much for preparing it!

[next junco]

It matter topic of conversation

[pastel swallow]

i like NY bg for interaction

[glad acorn]

Thanks. Now let's hope everyone reads the pin

[next junco]

They say so but not that important

[visual remnant]

New York?

It exists?

[pastel swallow]

new year

2022

[next junco]

There is?

[pastel swallow]

yea

[nocturne aurora]

see, i'm doing it one by one today and after 2 interactions already 4 levels

6x was just broken
and now i probably jinxed it

[visual remnant]

Damn I wanted to convene at that desired location within an specific time frame together with Blue

[urban flicker]

how consistently they are gonna add sync pairs to the lodge?

[next junco]

10 lv is good

Per day

[nocturne aurora]

lemme ask the director of DeNA real quick

[urban flicker]

ok

[nocturne aurora]

he told me to piss off

(obv, we have no clue)

[next junco]

May be Karen this month

[nocturne aurora]

[urban flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/barok-van-zieks-ace-attorney-the-great-ace-attorney-dai-gyakuten-saiban-barok-gif-24628135

[nocturne aurora]

that'd be interesting

[soft tree]

i guess it worked

[visual remnant]

My exact words were "Bathroom is on the right"

[next junco]

Or who is in monthly poke fair scout

[soft tree]

strange bc i only got around 140 points

[blazing sapphire]

When do people give presents? I sort of fell as soon as it's 95% PRESENT

[icy wagon]

Is 11 levels per day good?

[blazing sapphire]

Too many 95% drops

[nocturne aurora]

i give as soon as i'm around 85%

[soft tree]

and the convo stopped at like 60

[urban flicker]

As soon as the attention drops the first time

at least me

[slim cape]

i usually only run bronze presents, so as soon as it drops below 90

[visual remnant]

I give a silver gift around 80%, gold around 70%

[urban flicker]

yeah I know that I may not be getting full value of my gift

[glad acorn]

Congrats. Now get ready for appointment tomorrow

[soft tree]

if you can do around 10 levels a day then we should get 3 level 100 a month

[visual remnant]

Yeah they drop before I can give them sometimes but that's alright

[soft tree]

[urban flicker]

but I prefer that to have them again at 100% attention

[visual remnant]

Maybe when I have a lot more silver crystals to burn I'll do at like 85%

[nocturne aurora]

WTF she just ended the convo right as the max vibe stopped

that is just disgusting

[visual remnant]

It happens

[icy wagon]

[next junco]

95% fail

The pain

[glad acorn]

I think gifting at 85% with tier 2 present for example is totally okay.

But you know, at that point it's pretty much yolo

[urban flicker]

so, as I was saying

[next junco]

Just gift at 5th topic

[lost pumice]

First time?

[next junco]

It is more safe

[lost pumice]

I give gift at 80%

[next junco]

30% boost is too important

I missed 1 today so can only go 10 lv

[nocturne aurora]

me : gets hot topic Pokemon
Lillie : https://i.imgur.com/o7EC3Q9.png (she hates pokemon)

[lost pumice]

I Missed 2

[next junco]

bruh i hate pokemon topic tho

Only Nebby to choose

[lost pumice]

Words spoken by Pokemon

[clear beacon]

Highest yet

[lost pumice]

Grass type more like gross type

[next junco]

I thought that is N thingy

[nocturne aurora]

wow i actually got her attention to 37%, first time i got this low

[next junco]

We will never run out of silver gift it they skip running from us

[lost pumice]

Bronze ones already feeling too much

[next junco]

I overflow with silver already

Have 15 left in chest

Probably switch to grind other color

[lost pumice]

I keep red and chests

Switch between blue and yellow

[next junco]

Chest is huge souce of silver tho

[lost pumice]

Yeah

[jade trout]

53 - 67 today

[lost pumice]

I have chests in both teams

[next junco]

[lost pumice]

Team a : red and chests
Team b : blue/yellow and chests

[nocturne aurora]

ah there we go drop on 4th topic 89% i missed you

[lost pumice]

[next junco]

You cant get gold gift tho

[nocturne aurora]

do you people just go double max chest nowadays or still balance between all 4?

[lost pumice]

U got red and Cynthia?

[next junco]

I do double max

[next junco]

[lost pumice]

Gratzzz

[glad acorn]

But how? No max vibe?

[lost pumice]

[icy wagon]

Double max Chests since day one babyyyy

[autumn stone]

I do 10/10 for chest

[nocturne aurora]

no max vibe indeed

[next junco]

I say yolo fuk gem zen

[autumn stone]

Should've reroll

[next junco]

hope mama cynthia will come for you

[lost pumice]

No gems for yolo

[glad acorn]

Nah, not being a cheater. Good for you

[visual remnant]

I'm still doing half-half with a desire to go for both Red/Chest

[nocturne aurora]

wait what

[glad acorn]

Check the pin

[nocturne aurora]

i did

[next junco]

Split is a hoax

[nocturne aurora]

i don't reroll

[icy wagon]

Chest chest chest like I am a pirate

[next junco]

Just max everything

[visual remnant]

Since I think I have enough silvers to buy the feel rings I need

[glad acorn]

That's why I complimented you. I'm a filthy cheater tho

[nocturne aurora]

[glad acorn]

Need to make up for that 6x void

[next junco]

i never grind red or yellow but they always at 4000 for me

[nocturne aurora]

tbf, is that failproof for the 6x?

[next junco]

Chest spawn a lot

[nocturne aurora]

you just reset until topic 2 is max vibe?

[glad acorn]

Yes, but no one can guarantee you don't get 95% on 5th topic

[visual remnant]

Even with resets I'd still rather do 1 by 1 lol

[lost pumice]

I feel like its my time to rerole if I don't get Cynthia

But my account is stacked

[next junco]

Bruh 27k gems more

[lost pumice]

Ikr

[icy wagon]

26k in coming days

You can pity lol

[next junco]

stay sane my friend

[lost pumice]

Yeah pity is guaranteed

Im already at 189 points

[next junco]

I pity Cynthia tho

[icy wagon]

I will pity alongside you

[next junco]

So you can join pity team with me

[visual remnant]

I pity you

[lost pumice]

I pity Cynthia

And lugia

[glad acorn]

I guess the monthly banner ain't so bad since you can get spooked by Marnie and N

Of course. Assuming you want all three

[next junco]

I will pity it for marnie at 27th

[visual remnant]

Wait what's the rate for them?

[next junco]

[glad acorn]

Similar to spotlights for Marnie and N. Cynthia is the 2%

[visual remnant]

2% Cynthia, 0.5% others pokefairs?

Oh

Lol

[next junco]

Lile 0.64%

[lost pumice]

Hope u get spooked by her first multi

[urban flicker]

do they seriously expect us to use gems on that banner

[visual remnant]

I wouldn't count on those spook rates

[next junco]

[visual remnant]

Source: I still do not have Kiawe

[lost pumice]

Im also only missing marnie from current lodge units

[autumn stone]

It's still a gamble lol, I was afraid earlier when it drop around 80 cause it pause a bit

[glad acorn]

Well, if I didn't have all three, and it has all the recent spotlights, j would give it a try.

[urban flicker]

yeah but it's a bad moment to go for it

[glad acorn]

At least I have 3 possible pokefairs to pity

[next junco]

Source i still not have Normal Lyra despite i pity ss lyra

[urban flicker]

with the anniversary that was around the corner

[glad acorn]

True, but anniversary is not gonna stay for long

[glad acorn]

Open more Johto scout

[next junco]

Balloon Morty is 10/5 now

Morty just really like me

[lost pumice]

Same

Mine is even Exed

[glad acorn]

Og Morty is at least decent for expedition nowadays

+6 Red for Johto

[next junco]

Yes

[lost pumice]

He was good for ghost stages before anniLillie

[next junco]

Expedition value

[next junco]

Honest dunno how to use him

[autumn stone]

Mine drop today at 70% x6 no reroll. +12 Yesterday was fine x1 x5 +15

[glad acorn]

Selene. The girl who is meta in expedition

[next junco]

I just left him in dust

[lost pumice]

Nuke or phantom build

[next junco]

[lost pumice]

Same now that I have Lillie and SSRC

Sem

[urban flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-selene-gif-21192495

[lost pumice]

He was still useful for LG

[next junco]

Selene will get alt due to popularity in expedition

[lost pumice]

True

[next junco]

Yeah gridded him for next LG

[glad acorn]

Meanwhile Elio

[lost pumice]

Just got him 3/5

[glad acorn]

He's so transparent I don't know his bonus

Is it just +2 Blue?

[lost pumice]

Yeah

[glad acorn]

Ouch

[lost pumice]

Lillie took his 1-4 bonus

[next junco]

Same

[autumn stone]

How's your interaction today?

[urban zinc]

Not bad

[autumn stone]

@next junco here's mine today

Drop at 70% yesterday was better I hit 17 lvl. The x1 I did a x1.50 fp

[marble hemlock]

also please mention if you've seen one of those topic choices at a different location too

[icy wagon]

Wat is thisss

[winter galleon]

Wait no way that's true

[gentle eagle]

Ohh, that makes sense why ive never seen ninjas show up

[marble hemlock]

some data to follow up on this theory

[winter galleon]

Ooohh

[autumn stone]

Like location bonus? Does it affects topic rolls?

[marble hemlock]

yes:

[autumn stone]

I need to make reading a habit can't help you today. I'll try tomorrow coz I'll do 1x first then 5x.

[visual remnant]

Damn I've seen Adventure before but I don't remember where lol

I'll keep an eye out for these

[marble hemlock]

thanks!

[visual remnant]

Thanks for compiling!

[autumn stone]

Thanks for this one as well

[blazing sapphire]

This suggests there will be a best locatino for each character

[autumn stone]

I did try Cynthia yesterday in ruins

[visual remnant]

Locatino

[autumn stone]

Iirc

So that's why maybe others experiencing drop at 90+

[visual remnant]

Trainer Lodge be like:
But wait, there's more! (things to research)

[autumn stone]

https://tenor.com/view/scary-movie-shawn-wayans-but-wait-theres-more-theres-more-funny-gif-14263131

[carmine pilot]

Veteran Trainers from Cynthia in the Ruins

[pastel swallow]

is this accurate?

its pin worthy if its accurate

[marble hemlock]

accurate based on a lot of resets. probably more useful to pin the best locations for character after we find out

[urban flicker]

I can't try now but, one thing is for sure ever since the Trainer Lodge was released

[pastel swallow]

gotcha

[autumn stone]

We need more data, if someone can roll rn

[urban flicker]

I never got as an option answers such as "The PML"

maybe because of the location

[pastel swallow]

the ones u tested , im guessing its cynthia?

[marble hemlock]

yes. Battle Villa seems best for Cynthia (2 extra 10-point options)

which coincidentally is the location for her 2nd sync story

[visual remnant]

"MC, why are we going to the Ruins again, I already told you they're fake and I've seen them so many times already"
"WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT RUINS AND ROCK TYPE POKÉMON"

[glad acorn]

Steven "Joke's on you. I'm into that"

[lost pumice]

Same

[marble hemlock]

ty updated

[carmine pilot]

After getting to 0% with Cynthya in the ruins i started to think we got some of the best places spoilered in the trailer.
(May, Blue, N appears too but aren't interaction, just the special memories)
Here a mashup of the screenshots

[blazing sapphire]

I mean, the themes match

[icy wagon]

Guess all i will do for Cynthia is ruins now

[carmine pilot]

I noticed this because of the meme snapshot i was using

[glad acorn]

So Rosa is lodge? I guess she's really the starter

[urban flicker]

Rosa likes Bustling places, well, it's a 10 pointers answer in her interaction

so something like Pasio gate maybe

[carmine pilot]

And tbh it looks fine, Rosa belong in the lodge for being the tutorial mascot
Silver like the Japanese-style Johto village
Cynthia the ruins
Lillie the beach
Marnie the streets resembling Spikemuth
And sycamore in the garden (where trees belongs)

[ripe hemlock]

Rosa quit on me at 91% and 76% today

[glad acorn]

Going to test it out later with Marnie

[carmine pilot]

Cynthia in the ruins at 91% with a x3 run today
"Save time" yeah

[analog furnace]

I played lodge terribly today failed to give gifts before they ended convo early like twice or so

gonna start being more liberal with them

and he ends convo at 77 anyway well, had a few more bad runs than good, but still came out with 11 levels. will prob stick to individual interactions when I can spare the time

Lv62 for now

[carmine pilot]

Yeah, singles are way better
I risked today doing double x3 and it wasn't worth
Because of the guy that got 25 levels on a x6
I got TEMPTED DAMN

[ripe hemlock]

I did 13 levels yesterday, 4 today lol

Terrible RNG

[analog furnace]

Was that a x6?

[next junco]

bruh lucky

[ripe hemlock]

Mine? No I did double x3

[analog furnace]

Ouch

Still, that's reaally unlucky when split into 2 separate bad runs

Oh shit wait, I can lv150 N rn

[visual remnant]

I've stopped looking at the beeg level increase and only look at the base score lol

The 3x/6x really makes things seem better than they are

[carmine pilot]

6 runs in one

[analog furnace]

~200 on x6 is nice but yeah

[analog furnace]

Was asking Darki

[visual remnant]

Ok that's a worthy one

[analog furnace]

The point score is what matters first and foremost

Then if you see the multiplier on a ~200 run, you go oohhh shit

[ripe hemlock]

I'll have to go back to 1 by 1 cause I don't wish to see another x3 91% quit

[next junco]

200pt on 6 run x 1.3 ?

[analog furnace]

Even ~160+

200 is always good, multipliers just make it better, but it has a lot more risk to be running multipliers in the first place

[carmine pilot]

Oh mb, i read "what's x6"

[visual remnant]

200 is like just enough good RNG

Anything past 200 means your next MF is gonna be a pity

Which is why I had to pity both Ash and Red

[analog furnace]

They only let you unlock level cap by 1, they won't let you max upgrade

[carmine pilot]

I'm at lvl 55 but always got bad RNG and as always i mean always
Today i missed 3 gifts

Getting shafted at 91% twice

[ripe hemlock]

getting shafted at 91% feels truly terrible lol

[next junco]

the better your luck the higher chance you have pity

[abstract zealot]

Hello, can someone explain why sometimes the third interaction bring me to 95% and sometimes to 91%?

[blazing sapphire]

There are three rankings of interestedness, the lower the ranking the more % you lose

[carmine pilot]

Dena don't understand what means talking with a friend
We move from "you have my attention" to "i don't care snymore bye" in a second

[blazing sapphire]

"Super interested! Bye"

[abstract zealot]

So picking for a +10 is always the best choice even off topic, right?

[blazing sapphire]

Hot topic has halved -% iirc

[visual remnant]

Hot Topics halve that attention loss which imo is worth it

[urban flicker]

So, yeah, cool topic buddy but I gotta go

[visual remnant]

Blue keeps saying "You're never boring to talk to"
THEN WHY DO YOU KEEP LEAVING

[abstract zealot]

+7 and +5 hot topic still have halved %drop even after reaching max vibe?

[visual remnant]

Yes

[blazing sapphire]

He's lying to you

[urban flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-really-stressed-mad-angry-gif-16109475

[abstract zealot]

Thanks

[marble hemlock]

I was able to get both Trainer Lodge and Pasio as choices in Trainer Lodge location. maybe staying inside is the best spot for everyone (except Silver)

saves 2s of walking cutscene too

[autumn stone]

Drops attention by 20

[glad acorn]

I guess I should have reset on 2nd topic but it worked out fine. Anyway, sample for interaction (smh give me more hot topics you phony ring)
https://streamable.com/krlkde

[urban zinc]

That voice

urgh

[autumn stone]

I'm doin 1x-5x run tom. Dang this friendship is so expensive I need to buy gift every day. Imagine this in real life everyday is your birthday 🎉🎂

[shadow bramble]

Hm, what does this red text imply?

[urban flicker]

That you got your interaction and items back

[shadow bramble]

Yes yes I know that

[glad acorn]

You can only stock up to 10 interactions at a time

[autumn stone]

You can't stack more interaction beyond 10

[autumn stone]

So if you forgot to do interaction it stacks up to 10 r?

[late sluice]

first time ever i've had an interaction go this low

[shadow bramble]

So, does that mean I can only reset 10 times?

[sonic stream]

Does it seem plausible to average 150 experience per interaction? That would mean it only takes 11-12 days per 100 friendship, which would be like 2.5 friendships to 100 per month, or 50x 5star tickets 😀

[glad acorn]

Interaction - the speech bubble with heart on it

[autumn stone]

@glad acorn does this pops with you when you reset?

[glad acorn]

Would be funny if DeNA voided your attempt after 10 resets

Yes

[marble hemlock]

wow nice run. interestingly, you saw all 7 hot topic choices by round 6, and couldn't get any more after (since there's no repeats within the same interaction)

[glad acorn]

I think the red text is to avoid things like this. Say, someone who has 10 interactions left and cancelled his interaction halfway and waited until reset. Would he get 13 or 10?

Why would someone do that? Hell know

[carmine pilot]

Nice!! I started to think that tier2 gifts are the best safe outcome
T3 is just ridicolous hard to place

Got two T3 gifts but huh reaching 70% is hard with bad luck

[autumn stone]

I did not reset today coz I had a good start then it drops at 70% after used the gift

[autumn stone]

I'm stacking T3 gifts, but I might drop the 6x run with that to risky.

[glad acorn]

He doesn't approve your refusal to gamble

[autumn stone]

it's tempting lmao

[carmine pilot]

Same!

[autumn stone]

To end the convo early

[lethal marsh]

How much level are your pairs

[analog furnace]

Dude. I need to recheck drop rates for from rare cache

Nvm I see it in pins

[glad acorn]

Are you suggesting that some topics are excluded from the pool depending on the place?

[analog furnace]

I believe that. Only found “Ruins” show up at the Ruins

Makes complete sense

Some topics being brought about by location, I mean

[marble hemlock]

yes: #1012298913279127582 message

[analog furnace]

Thank you

[marble hemlock]

I meant you saw all 7 options in the Fashion category (the hot topic in your video), and they won't repeat later

[glad acorn]

Interesting. This means if we manage to find a topic with most hot topic count, that should be the topic to reset to

Inb4 they are evenly distributed

[marble hemlock]

I think most trainers have around 7 total options in each topic (not including location-specific choices)

[glad acorn]

That said, I rarely see any type specific pokemon topics with Marnie. Only legendary. Perhaps it's only in forest area?

I see the 10 pointers under Pokemon topic all the time

[urban flicker]

58 with Rosa

[marble hemlock]

here's a list of location-specific topic choices so far^

might be best to just pick Trainer Lodge as the location and maybe reset for Places as the hot topic

[winter galleon]

59 with Silver, I could've gotten at least 10 levels daily but first two interactions sucked

[glad acorn]

Okay, looking back at my video, yeah, I got all fashion topics in the first few topics. Damn, this ring

[winter galleon]

I don't think Veteran Trainers is a Ruins specific topic I've seen it in another place earlier

[astral trench]

Got Cynthia to 45 today

I can get 2 units per month it seems

[marble hemlock]

do you remember which location you saw it? I can update it if more people mention too

[astral trench]

Wondering if dena gonna add new units every 3 months

[plain nova]

they should add 1-2 new units per month

[orchid glade]

Had a few good rounds today and lvl 59

[plain nova]

i got fucked by rng yesterday when i use all 6 so i'm at 59 too, should've been 68-70

[orchid glade]

you doing a lot better than me

if you expected that before bad rng

[plain nova]

if i do them 1 by 1 i still gain 10-12 levels/day on average, even with bad rng

[orchid glade]

if I did them all together I would have made more of a loss than win

[sonic stream]

10 levels per day is able to max 3 characters per month. 60 5star tickets per month 😀I hope they update the characters every 3 months so we aren't sitting around losing rewards

[plain nova]

also doing them in batch didn't count for the general mission

[plain nova]

i'll try again after i hit lv100 i want big numbers

[orchid glade]

so you like it big

[next junco]

lost 80 gems?

[orchid glade]

Pretty sure items reduce the chance for a flee

[plain nova]

no the one when you need to interact 50 times, 100 times...

using 6 but only count 1

[orchid glade]

When I give Rosa hats she stays with me

[plain nova]

i had a run where she gave up right after max vibes ended

[next junco]

haha nice

[plain nova]

[orchid glade]

same

just not today yet

[fiery bolt]

Let's goooo

[orchid glade]

Incroyable sounds like Incredible

[fiery bolt]

🇫🇷 boi here

[sonic stream]

The 1.5x is scary because it going down to 70% first is scary

But I guess if they leave before you use it, it is lost experience but not a lost item

[plain nova]

nah fuck it just use at 90%

[sonic stream]

If you don't wait for 70% then how can you hope to break 250? I want a record lmao

[orchid glade]

first 43 meh

[sonic stream]

I do like 3x 1.1, 2x 1.3 1x 1.5 per day

[plain nova]

just get lucky with streak, i got 300+ with the 1.3 boost

[orchid glade]

my highest

game crash when I was on a good streak

[fiery bolt]

I used mine at around 72%, I was feeling it for some reason lol

Conversation ended at around 37% or something

It's revenge for it to end at 94% yesterday

[sharp solar]

Oh. That's not nice.

[sudden forum]

After you've exited Max Vibes is it still best to pick Silver/Bronze ranked topics matching the hot topic over Gold ranked non-Hot topics?

[orchid glade]

not really I like max points

[sudden forum]

Was this a reply to my question?

[orchid glade]

yes

[sudden forum]

So after Max Vibes, pick Super Exiciting Topics > Exciting/Interesting Hot topics

[orchid glade]

yes thats mostly what I do

[fiery bolt]

I just always pick most exciting topics tbh

[split jolt]

Last interaction was 21% attention or something then went poof 0

[fiery bolt]

Marnie having Gloria has most exciting

[orchid glade]

it hasn't failed me once in getting high scores

[winter galleon]

I've started picking Hot Topics over super exciting ones just recently but I think it all comes down to luck

[plain nova]

great run, now do it again with 1.5 bonus

[split jolt]

Still 4 gold gift

Maybe next 2 reset

[winter galleon]

Hot Topics just give you a bigger chance to go longer but it might just end up being the same points as when you just picked a Super Exciting one

[plain nova]

just let us use gifts multiple times

[cunning cypress]

why are there different totals for expedition team A and team B in the recommended teams document

[split jolt]

Team A have red and yellow +1 while team B have blue and cache +1 base

[cunning cypress]

bro!

is that ever explained

[split jolt]

U can notice it when u remove all pair from expedition team

[cunning cypress]

true

[split jolt]

Or when formulating a team

[carmine pilot]

Wpw that's huge
But damn risky
I always have bad luck with multy

Today i tried to optimize three x2 attempts
Got kicked out at 91% with no room for the gift

[split jolt]

With juice + reset it's kinda more easier to get minimum 100+ with minimum 6 interraction

[knotty nymph]

current progress is level 60

I usually don't use juice now

bc getting gifts are more important

[jolly cove]

Yesterday I only used shovel because he gave me

[knotty nymph]

i almost always hit max vibes quickly w/o juice

[jolly cove]

Bc it's useless

[carmine pilot]

I was wondering what's better:
Doing 2 interactions and aiming for Max vibe at the third
Getting max vibe directly after the 2nd interaction

I never used juice, i think i don't need it

[knotty nymph]

then again i'm also using a ring

[split jolt]

Pick 10 point non hot topic in turn 1-2 then get hot topic in 3rd or reset, then max vibe trigger cuz juice, pick best point in max vibe (turn 4-5) then either give gift if bad option or pick best point (+hot topic if possible) and give the gift later

[knotty nymph]

ring > juice imo

[split jolt]

Juice just give more consistency

Both is gud

[carmine pilot]

I don't think i can afford 6 juice and 6 rings everyday

[knotty nymph]

yes I'm giving N lots of ferris wheels and rings

What do you mean i'm a N simp

[split jolt]

But yeah if on budget, u can remove juice but then u're on rng to trigger max vibes. So no more minimum 6 interraction safe net especially for use all interraction

[knotty nymph]

Most of my silver is going to buying N ferris wheels

[glad acorn]

I got cut off on the next topic after gifting a tier 3 present. Good thing it was a 1x

[next junco]

people lv up fast

[pale marsh]

there was a post about a lodge theory on reddit and wanted to test it out by myself

got cut off after 3 turns

[sharp solar]

What kind of theory?

[pale marsh]

uh i dont remember exactly but it had to do with getting more than 8 topics in an interaction and switching between hot topics and +7 topics

boost juice wasn't involved

uh

yeah thats all i can remember

anyways, cynthia cut me off before i can even proceed to start it, using up all 6 of my interactions and getting almost nothing out of it

[finite dock]

Damn Cynthia. Leaving three times today on the third interaction (first one she could leave)

[sharp solar]

Using 6 interactions to test a theory, huh

[pale marsh]

yeah, i figured "what the hell, why not"

[quiet vortex]

Holy hell level 60

And I thought being 46 was high

[mental pewter]

rng based, so

[pastel swallow]

honestly tho

resetting just makes the interaction experience worse

[jade trout]

I’m 67 rn

[pale marsh]

36

im so far behind

[glad pasture]

I'm like 25 or something here if it makes anyone feel better

[frank atlas]

Does anyone know how to fix this Trainer Lodge bug?

Blue took Rosa's spot so now I can't talk to her

and I cant click anything else

[urban zinc]

Don't play in lodge
No lodge -> No lodge bug

[jolly cove]

Btw I love how the dialogues changes when you level up friendship

[frank atlas]

So true

[jolly cove]

But idk if it changes after level 40

[urban zinc]

(for real idk, if rosa isn't here try to click invite, but if you can't click anywhere just restart the game i guess)

[tepid crater]

I got 15 levels in a day with only bronze gifts! that feels great.

[crimson surge]

N ended my conversation at 80% and then the very next one he ended at 0%

[finite dock]

And that's the way we became the rocket bunch 🎵

[neat blade]

It's rng.

[crimson surge]

I know

[crimson surge]

Marnie is just there

[finite dock]

Marnie in a maid outfit is Alice

[crisp hornet]

[sharp solar]

Oh hey, a powerup

[crisp hornet]

Nvm got Kukui 4/5

I swear the game really keeps on giving me the same sync pairs i already got 4 time

[frosty juniper]

Power ups are great

[frosty juniper]

Look on the bright side, you're now one step closer to getting 5 star power ups every time you get Kukui

[carmine pilot]

I have ssErika 1/5 since her release, 9 pulls on Kanto ticket and 2 pity on SSACynthia and SSTRed and not a single copy of her

Saving 1700 genpool scout ticket for 4th anni update

[next junco]

Bruh when i will my time to shine

[crisp hornet]

Yeah no, it gave me kukui that i already had 3/5

[next junco]

Most valuable thing i got is 4 star lv up

[crisp hornet]

I'm waiting to get Lana and Sonia to 3/5

[next junco]

nice 4/5 not cringe at all

[crisp hornet]

I don't use Kukui at all

So kinda cringe actually

[next junco]

[wary wasp]

So apparently convos can end after max vibes 🧍‍♂️

[glad acorn]

It can

[carmine pilot]

True pain

[glad acorn]

That's why setting it up on 2nd topic is ideal

[next junco]

Why people dont do max vibe at 4th topic

[quasi sigil]

After max vibes end, does it matter to pick hot topics anymore or should I just go for 10 pointers

[glad acorn]

Well, technically you can still get cut off on 5th topic if you are not lucky so yeah, still rng

[next junco]

Since juice always guarantee max vibe

[glad acorn]

I'd personally suggest going for hot topics since it drops less attention

[quasi sigil]

Oh I see

[glad acorn]

But really, at one point, it's literal jenga that any topic will make it drop

[carmine pilot]

Guys one weird argument about exploration
When checking exploration teams the fact that Chests appears after a brief delay is kinda sus.
One team got the cheer earlier and had wayyy less chests compared to the other one ( 14 to 6 ) because i collected after the cheer expired

It's weird, like it's calculated when you check it, if that's true it means if your +2 chests potion expire before you collect the items, all that time will be calculated as lvl 8 instead of lvl 10

[wary wasp]

only 7 level ups today with silver, tomorrow i should get level 40 :D
