Gonna take ethan to 3/5 with the freebies tomorrow. Is it worth getting alder past 2/5 or just save for next arc suit?
reposting my chart because I didn't see the new thread

>>58519997>arcshit bluein my mildly popular character sygna suit slotthe fuck man
>>58519997It's either gonna be a mix of NC Cherren and Arc Ethan or a Zapdos for Flying type isnt it?
>>58519967>>58519997>Johto can't do shit rightPour one out for Diantha by the way
>>58520015I think it'll be a physical attacker; a support would be weird since we already had Summer Larry. Another flying special attacker after Lugia would be even weirder. There's no point in releasing this banner now. If it were at least Blastoise, it would make sense.
>>58520040>I think it'll be a physical attackermake it a ex arc banner and put summer larry on his banner then
>>58520040All Arc suit have the same Sync Move than their original (minus N since it's based of a seasonal) so it can't be physical
Never find yourself someone who hates you the way TPC hates Diantha.
>>58520119>yet another male Arc suit Gay homosexual game.
So what was the actual point of Arc Silver and Ethan?>Fucks up "muh patterns">Forced Legendary shilling>Now both types have been better represented by ACTUAL ChampionsBlue shouldn't have been pre-Anni but given they wasted Anni on TeraTard Red, I guess they figured it was bad pacing
>>58519997Matching outfit with Sygna Suit Thunder Red, cute and canon, more proofs of Red being a cumdump for his boyfriend.
>>58520200>hurr durr i'll pretend there were patterns and ignore the whole point of arc suits being described as bonding tests and obviously another way to sell popular characters instead of just being for no reason at all linked to the champion title
>>58520229Mental illness.
>>58519997>It's been 6 years and the Kanto kids never got a seasonal altWhy are they too cool to have fun? Even Cynthia got one. Let Blue,Red and Leaf do silly things for once
>>58520229Cute and canon!
>>58520248It's power level slop, Anon. They're only choosing Champion-tier characters in the first place to represent the "strongest" bonds by showing these clearly better than other characters at battling have been acknowledged by Arceus. Ethan/Silver were clearly the only Johto characters that could be sold on par with Lance/Steven/Cynthia but because they were strapped for options (we weren't getting Rock Arc Silver for example) we get lame ass repeats due to other Arcs already being lazy reskins like Leon and BlueBesides your point doesn't mean shit when fucking Alder got an Arc Suit
>>58520259Seasonal alts, Alola Blue and Red are pretty much ones, luckily next summer as fairs.
Meh. Hopefully the datamine has Christmas seasonal info, maybe one ZA unit if we're lucky. At least they only released one Arc by itself, instead of multiple.
>>58520352Why are you saying hopefully like it hasn’t been that way for the past few years?
I love my cute wife Whitney! She's my adorable bundle of joy!Christmas in two months!
>>58520663>only one whitney at level 200 after monthswhat did he mean by that
>>58519240Kinda New-ish to this Pokémon Master Sex thing, can you erudites explain me why Erika has like a dozen of Alts (I agree btw), Misty has 3 (I think) and Sabrina only 2? (Bellelba counts as 3rd I suppose?)
>>58520748Nips like Erika and nobody gives a fuck about game Misty, especially without her Johto redesign
>>58520748Erika’s popular. No one gives a fuck about game!Misty. Sabrina is barely any better. Pretty simple
>>58520743Not him but the Tower gamemode sucks so I don't blame anyone for not bothering with it. PM is ultimate gacha for skipping the boring shit and still having more than enough gems. >>58520748Hard to say. Misty essentially got the freebie treatment and Erika got the premium treatment apropos nothing. Sabrina should've gotten a Halloween alt this year but they cheaped out. Sync Pairs these days are significantly stronger than the stuff we used to get and the game makes a lot more money selling said powercreep pairs than it used to. Misty hasn't had anything remotely modern to prove she can sell.
>>58520748Erika is very popular in Japan.Misty is only liked by anime nostalgiatards and even anime-wise she's long since mogged by Dawn and Serena popularity-wise. No one gives a shit about game Misty.Sabrina being so utterly neglected is the really odd one.
When is the next Marnie alt coming out?
>>58520892Old and busted
>>58519997Is this real? His face looks extremely off. There's something uncanny and amateurish about it.
>>58520842>>58520890Couldn't they just make a broken ass sabrina?Let me explain better what I mean:Generally speaking, in gacha games, you usually pull for either a "Strong" unit or a "Unit I like even if it's not good"And when they REALLY want to cash they make a pretty unit which ALSO happens to be busted.My understanding here is that Master Sex does mostly this last thing, where, strong units are also well liked units, you do not see a busted "literally who?" or am I wrong?(also weird that some character are still completely missing, the game is 6 fucking years old already, how come we just had the monkey bros and are still missing drayden)
>>58520949It's on one of official Pokemon accounts, the franchise news one, face is likely based on one of his model expressions in Masters, personally I don't like how they handled his smirk and smug expression, weird eyebrow and eyes shape when he does it, I tend to avoid using it in photomode.
>>58520200Those ones are by far the stupidest ones. I hope the rest of the protagonists/rivals don't get them. Blue should have been the first and only rival to have the privelege of both. It's annoying because protagonists and rivals get so much shilling and have entire categories to themselves already. Neo Champions exists entirely just for them. I have no problem with Red getting an anniversary alt. I really don't want him to get an arc suit.
>>58520119I don't know why people would expect Diantha now. She's probably much later. If it's to promote Z-A I doubt they knew if she was even in it or not. This game does very little to actually tie into mainline releases. Hell the fact that they're even bothering to show off the Mega part so prominently that's their idea of a tie in. Legends Z-A has Mega Evolution here's Mega Evolution.
>>58520200You know that I think they kind of pulled Ho-oh and Lugia out of their arses thanks to the controversy with the Traced Ho-oh in pocket (still by Dena)?
Chart for the fire CS is here ! Hilda and Victini are at the top ! Fitting for the Victory Pokemon !Side notes :-Chili start at 3, Pre-nerf SS Lear is at 4 with his grid upgrade. Let's see what happen for them in the next CS !
>>58521129>See you next CS>CilanHeh
>>58521103Promoting ZA, a game that doesn't even have Diantha's physical presence in it, with Diantha. Emmass Essentia Suit and ZA Emmass with the coat can't come soon enough, won't waste a chance to add another sinnoh shill dog.
>>58521129Also since we got the same line up before here was Fire CS chart for April 2024Yes it's Regular Leon at the top. it's not a mistake.
>>58521129>Lucas and Kiawe mogged by TiernoEmbarrassing
>>58520959They could make a broken ass Candice exclusively for me but I don't think that's happening >you don't see a busted literal whoArc Suit Alder is probably the who'est of pairs that I assume are busted in recent memory. The latest 3 anniversary pairs were Irida, Red and Gloria, and of those Irida is the only one that hasn't quite been shilled to oblivion yet. There's quite a bit of repetition in PM. >isn't it weird there are still characters that aren't in after 6 years?Do you think the Monkey trio are gonna make a dime in profit? The ones that get left behind tend to make sense.
>>58521103People vastly overestimate how much they care to cross promote lmao
>>58520959> you do not see a busted "literally who?" or am I wrong?You are wrong
>>58520748>>58520959Gym leaders are usually treated as lower priority compared to MCs and Champions here. Rivals have also been outbidding them for the spotlight pretty often lately too.This results in the wide pool of gym leaders (and e4 of course) competing with each other for either seasonal events or minor 4* free units, and Mastersex oddly seems committed to pushing Pokefairs and Master Fairs as the specific pairs that you're expected to use for endgame content.
>>58521171Exactly. The way they did promote Z-A was the most basic surface level shit. And they were clearly too scared to use anyone from actual Kalos because they had no clue if the characters would show up or not. This game it's probably like Pokémon Adventures where the author has to actually sit down and play the games at release before writing anything about them.Basically the only way I would know if DeNA actually has any insider knowledge or not is if Iono has team up dialogue with Canari. Iono had her alts earlier in the year. It's basically impossible for her to have voice lines about Canari unless the voice actress is brought in again some time between now post Z-A release and when they release Canari.
>>58521146>More than one year later>Flannery still got nothingSad
>>58521166I mean Alder is no one favourite but he IS a Champion (Also they probably needed a good bug expert? Maybe, dunno you guys tell me)No, of course the monkey trio are not going to be profitable but I would suppose that in 6 fucking years, getting all the character in th game would be like the ideal route, and THEN you start recycling old character with broken alts, while also adding new characters, why the hell should you add the moneky bros this late only for them to be "whatever" units, when you already have god-tier characters in the game? That's why I find it dumb.>>58521175Pardon me if I sound silly and dumb but this is exactly the reason why I'm asking, I want to get a picture of Dena's inner working
I hope for a male only month, so I can finally start saving jims.
>>58521475>they needed a Bug expert and he is a "former" ChampionYes, that's exactly why he's gotten what he's gotten. Still a literal who in the grand scheme of things. >they should've added them earlier to get them out of the wayMaybe but you can't just run a gacha game profitless for years. They're extremely niche pairs that you're free to ignore for a couple weeks to get a break between premium money bait pairs. It's not dumb to do that every once in awhile.
>>58521475>Maybe, dunno you guys tell meIt is true that his one alt is the sole bug pair who's above average as of now.As for literal whos, Emma for example was one of the first good poison pairs long before ZA started shoving her everywhere.
You are still rolling for males and meta, cuck. We all know it, no matter how many excuses you make.
>>58520301god vacation xy assistants when
So is the story just going to be Arceus giving someone power to beat Red again? Arceus hates Volo but it clearly has it out for Red too. Must be a personal grudge against this guy that everyone worships like a deity. Using others to knock him down a few pegs. Honestly it would be pretty funny if the story was about a gimmick war and Blue backs Mega against Red using his Tera Charizard. I would actually be okay with the anniversary tying in with Blue's story.
>>58521559the best unit in the game is a girl tho .. (anni Gloria)the 2-nd best (and best dps) is Arc CynthiaArc Blue is 100% skippable if you already have Arc Ethan .. no matter what they give him
>>58521475Steven has the most alts and a good chunk of them are pretty mediocre/bad. Anni Steven was a meme despite having Shiny Mega Rayquaza and is only decent after several retrospective buffs. It took May several alts to have one that’s outright good instead of decent. Meanwhile Dahila is a literal who to all the uncultured normies but she’s pretty strong. Doesn’t even apply just to the kits. Characters like Nessa are general pool while Milo is a limited character.
>>58521644Probably something like Blue gets so worked up over trying to beat Red he starts to revert to his old ways before Pidgeot snaps him back in with something along the lines of “my first capture…we’ll beat Red together!1!1!” before Pidgeot goes Super Saiyan
>>58521690>go Cresselia
>>58521644>Got beaten by Leon when first introduced >Leon beat Red thanks to Arc SuitI honestly can see him go full "If I beat you that mean I beat Red and that I am the strongest in the world" and ask for a rematch
>>58521760Oh yeah that's a good point. Mega vs Tera vs Dynamax. Unfortunately they implemented Dynamax like Z-moves and Z-moves were relegated to sync move animations so that gimmick will have to sit out. Though when I think about it Red's Mega already lost to Dynamax.
>Arc mons have been either legendaries, champion aces, or relatively rare Pokemon with some status behind them>A fucking regional bird
>>58521726All the stories have been about wanting to surpass someone. I don't see why it would be any different. Maybe that's why Red doesn't get one since he doesn't actually need to surpass anything. Volo doesn't even give a shit about that at all and got cucked and scorned by Arceus for it.
>>58520892Only after Hapu alt.
>>58521831Blue actually canonically owns a Tyranitar so it could have been that in some other alt first if Silver didn't get his fanfiction shiny one alongside his fanfiction Ho-oh. I think increasingly it's very clear there's a Silver dev with very unwarranted favoritism. Pretty much everyone reacted with recoil and horror when finding out about arc suit Silver.
>>58521831>legendaries, champion aces, or relatively rare Pokemon with some status behind themJohto shilling need not apply, Blue's ace when it's not a Starter has always been his Pidgeot since it's the first mon he ever caught for himself. It's more honest to his character than the Aerodactyl shilling that started happening after HGSS for whatever reason>>58521862And yeah you're right, Silver mucking shit up is the reason we haven't gotten Tyranitar Blue despite that being a major part of his rematch team in FRLG and HGSS. Sure you could say "Sygna Brock is the reason Blue doesn't have Tyranitar" but there's no reason for his ass to be waving Aerodactyl around in his Classic fit
>>58521836How is having him promise his Pokèmon to beat his eternal rival not about surpassing someone? Alder wasn’t surpassing Benga either. It was him reminding him that strength isn’t everything.
>>58521727
>>58521874>Blue's ace when it's not a Starter has always been his PidgeotThe frlg team you're citing outright abandons it.
>>58521548>>58521554>>58521697Ok thanks for your time anons(I noticed this game has some really WEIRD ways to implement limited units as opposed to general pool ones, what's the fucking difference between milo and nessa for example)(Btw: I'm THIS player old, but just recently did the 365th Login, I kinda dropped this game for 5 years I guess?)
>>58521874I found out recently he never even used an Aerodactyl until Black and White 2. It was always a weird choice for his "classic" alt when he never actually used one until long after even Heart Gold Soul Silver.>completely replaced his Pidgeot with Aerodactyl in BW2 and AlolaWhat the fuck is Blue's problem?
>>58521939Half convinced he got it because it’s right next to Snorlax in the Dex so it’s his own static encounter powerhouse
>>58521949You encounter Blue at Cinnabar Island in GSC/HGSS, makes sense he found an Old Amber and eventually revived it after a timeskip.
>>58521939His Classic alt always felt weird and forced. If they really needed a special Rock type use Rhydon or Ttar. The possible Alola alt could have been Aerodactyl.
>>58521932What does>When it's not his starter it's his PidgeotMean to you? I clarified the Starter takes priority but in games where he isn't the rival, his Pidget is usually what gets the attention unless it's the more recent games where they've been forcing Aerodactyl on his team (which betrays the point of the Classic Alt to begin with)>>58522000When did he revive it? It's just a bizarre choice because dude never used it until B2W2>>58522003It should've been Tyranitar, that would've definitely been unique for this game. Though I don't think Aerodactyl would've gone to anyone else but Lance in that instance. Well an Aerodactyl Lance would've been better than a Variety Dragonair
>>58522022Tyranitar and Aerodactyl fit both, they are draconic and are coded for Dragon Tamer trainer classes in the lodge and egg compatibility. One is pseudo found at Mt.Silver linked to Red and access from Viridian City, but also Gen 2 kaiju perfect for the league members and rival rematches. They can still get a copy each, Kanto trainers are also missing the third starter. Nothing wrong with using trainer canon rosters mons, some extend even to those failed and forgotten remakes like BDSP.
>>58519997>another repeated typeIs giovanni just busy jacking off or what
>>58523033Arceus dont consider Mewtwo a real pokemon so Giovanni must learn to sew to create his own Mewtwo suit
>>58519997As someone who's worst Type selection is and has always been Flying, this is exactly what I need. Would be nice if it was Physical Strike, but I'd take anything at the moment. I was lucky enough to get Variety Hilda so that EX Zone will finally get some mileage
>>58521862>Pretty much everyone reacted with recoil and horror when finding out about arc suit Silver.Arc Suit Leon was pointless and should've been left in the Charizard dung.
>beat stage 30 of steel tower thanks to LearAyyyye based king stays winning
>>58523371Arc Leon is literally the only thing making Battle Rally infinitely less of a slog>burn boss>use max move>clean up with 1st sync>done with no MP useYou're just mad about Charizarino. Silver is the actual useless one because he's just Variety Ethan with EX Sun.
>>58519997casualfags are killing this game
>Blue's specialWe need physical flying units...
https://youtu.be/bwveH51nWHk?si=XvFCyyH9pQTrXaye
>>58519997>>58523696Blue, another shill character getting another asset reuse and palette swap. And the crowd goes mild. This is Blue's what, 5th or 6th asset reuse now?I think Bugsy, maybe Morty since everyone is from Johto except Shillver and protag trio isn't popular amongst normies, from last year was the last time a more niche character got an alt. This past year, it's almost been nothing but shills nowI swear we used to get a more niche unit every few months or so
>Flying tower stages not immune to special damage
>Special attacker>Needs an Arc Suit to beat Giovanni... using RhydonKEKAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBluesissies? This is your hero?
Would Arceus give Giovanni an Arc Suit
>>58520959>>58521475>>58521938Mastersex is not like any other gachas at all.It's a bias and TPC mandates festival here. Out of color, random and wacky choices are the exception rather than the rule. It's always the same overrated niggas cycling. And then there's Dena's obvious as hell Unovaboner, too.Even FGO Saberfacewank cannot compare to what happens in Masters.
>>58524014>Kanto CircleWhen the only other Flying Kanto units beside base Blue is New Years Lance (2021) and ProtonThanks I hate it
>>58524092I think every gacha I've played is like thisIf anything Mastersex is better than the average gacha, in the other games I've played whos like Shauntal or Marley would never in a million years get alts
>>58524076Arc Suit Giovanni with Mega Mewtwo X as a Fighting Arc Suit pair
>>58524162ENTER
>>58524162I was thinking a physical psychic pair since that's a role we're desperate forI'd imagine they'd give him Rhydon though, maybe he could be a ground support
>>58524162My cope for Mewtwo X has always been Sabrina or Caitlin and it will never end.
I guess in retrospect it's not really surprising but it seems like they were forced to push out Arc Silver and Ethan to tie into TCG PocketThey specifically happen to be the two types that have been doubled up on and every chapter besides that one (and the first one obviously) has only had one unit
>>58520949It's the eyes. They're too big. He's not the only one with this problem in this game.
It's neat that they have Blue interact with the other Kanto gym leaders every now and then (even making this event about just that) but they also haven't actually given him the proper theme skill so lol
Honestly I can't believe I'm saying it but I'm relieved to see Giovanni. I complain a lot about him but at least this isn't keikaku or usurping a plan but just an ego match between Viridian City Gym leaders. That's an aspect of both characters that never got explored in this game. Thank fucking God it's not Red wank again.
>>58524076More likely than Volo. Even Giovanni can form bonds with his Pokémon albeit twisted ones. He blew Red and Blue the fuck out that one time because Mewtwo doesn't believe in the power of friendship either. Volo doesn't look to form connections with his Pokémon even as mutual business partners.
>>58524181Maybe Mewtwo is in that very small category of lines that don't get crossed for multiples. They haven't shat out multiple of the Gen 4 legendaries yet. Giratina is physically the exact same Pokémon used by 2 different trainers. Just like how N's black Kyurem uses his same Zekrom. Most every other legendary has pretty much been whored out though. Ho-oh especially.

I was getting ready to laugh at Falkner but this is surprisingly not terrible. Other general pool supports got fucked over way harder than this.

>>58524829That reminds me, did you guys also realize that all Johto female gym leader share a name with Dr 2 girls? Akane (Whitney) Mikan (Jasmine) Ibuki (Claire) I don't think that's a coincidence you know?
>>58524746Is Jasmine a free unit just lik rosa or do I have to waste gems for her? (not gonna do that sorry Jas)
>>58525514The free Academy one is Hugh and Pignite sorry
>No new Gym pairsAgain ?
The worst part about Hugh is he's another fucking fire pair instead of fighting. Fighting zone pretty much has no use for fire while sun has a ton of use for fighting types. I guess by being fire he sets sun on sync but you also can't properly use him in fighting content.

>EOS in Indonesia this JanuaryPLEASE PLEASE PLEASE THE REST OF THE WORLD NEXT
>>58525374would he be a tiki taka merchant or do>>58525374 brexit ball?
So are we back to Gym Scout A for next month?
i don't play gachas aside from this so i'm not familiar with how EoS usually works... but can a non-shitposter tell me if EoS is actually, realistically on the horizon? i live in a small country (NZ) and can't help but feel a little scared. why did they terminate in Indonesia?
>>58525986It's usually because a country has changed policies regarding online purchases, microtransactions, lootboxes, and online gambling.
>>58525986Localized shutdowns are usually because of country specific laws like what happened with Vietnam a while back.Or your country being an international pariah like Russia.Too lazy to check what is happening in Indonesia.
>>58526007>>58526010i see, i feared it was caused by a dwindling player base or something. not so worried now, thanks anons
>>58526069Google pointed me to reddit pointed me to picWould be funny if true
>>58525986I also refused to play Masters in the early years because it's online and has an expiration date. So far, it's far surpassed the lifespan of the gacha games, and seeing that other, more aggressive and famous gachas are already on their tenth anniversary is reassuring, but even so, this will end sometime sooner or later. My only hope is that, given its longevity and wealth of unique content never before seen in Pokémon, like the costumes, voices, and the ability to interact with them, they'll create an offline mode when it stops being online, so we can play with all the characters freely forever. It would be a shame never to see it again. Can you imagine if the old classics from the '80s, '90s, and 2000s could never be played again including the classic gba pokemon?
>>58525986For Indonesia case it's because retarded indogs decided it was a good idea to keep injecting and cheating in this game. As you saw in this image >>58526085 this user is whining that they're being banned for... hacking. Injecting has never been safe. But I suspect that the rampant cheating there, alongside with indog government cracking down on gambling, has made them decide to pull the plug. Retards should stop hacking. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.For Russia case, it's likely because of the war, many companies already pulled out when war began ... I am surprised it didn't happen sooner to be honest.When there's such a specific region EOS, it's usually because of country specific laws or situations. The actual warning signs are usually when they ramp up monetization tactics all of a sudden, or when they suddenly do crazy powercreep (eg. spamming 1% units that have power akin to anni units, NOT currently where Arc Blue is sidegrade to NC Cheren), gacha games about to shut down usually try to make last quick bucks through powercreep before closure.
when will they add wattson, need my fat grandpa harem
>>58526098I wish for people to continue spending money in Masterrs because I want to see continuous new debuts, it's one of the only Pokemon games I like and it has a very unique content, but I realize that one day it will end service, I just have no idea when. I hope this game is fun for you too.Dena made an offline version for Pocket Camp, so I think there's a chance for offline version after PoMa EoS. I see no sign since they continue to make new content. Pasio Tower has been very fun. To be honest I think them not being too aggressive is one advantage, FGO etc. has it way worse. Think the last gen will be 10, if it gets to gen 11 I'd be surprised.
>>58526105>those actual warning signsfucking hell. felt bad for whales/serious gachafags but i feel even worse now. imagine watching the ship sinking while being on it.grim reminder that your husbando/waifu is held hostage in this online game and the devs can and WILL dangle them in front of you like a carrot on a stick to milk money out of you in the sunset days.
>>58525307Thry just wanted to use Kabu's coat which is very very common in his fanarts.I don't remember where it first appeared but it's basically his second outfit now beside the canon look of younger Kabu.
>>58526144Thankfully, Pokemon Masters isn't doing that, so I can continue to play. But sometimes it seems like there is a differing level of endurance.Honkai Star Rail has very strong powercreep but there are people who don't care for it...Though even if PoMa eventually does that I'll ride it out to the end since I have been playing the game since day 1, and seen its high and low moments. I'll be sad to let it go but it'll be needed one day...
>>58526146This thing?
>>58526125It's also possible they'll shut it down by then for a Masters 2.0 with improved graphics and an open world. Even so, they should keep an offline version of this. I don't understand how almost all mobile games these days don't have an offline free mode just for fun, custom battles against the AI where you choose opponents, stages, etc., without needing points or prizes, just for pure offline fun like it always was. I'm not a fan of competitive or extreme games at all; I just like to play things I enjoy in a relaxed way and only with my favorites, but everyone has their own preferences. Even so, they shouldn't forget the pure essence of games beyond competition. In fact, I only play this gacha game. I've tried other Western fighting and racing games, and they're even worse in terms of content and difficulty where the players seems to love so much. In my case, I got hooked on the Pokémon saga more for its story and open world than for the battles, for example.
>>58526179Yeah, definitely the artbook then, anime and official special animations only had sweaty and serious Kabu at the gym or jogging.
>>58526197The way PoMa plays out has me wishing there were games similar to this, I heard FF Dissidia Duellum had similar stuff and it seems like they're asking the same company who makes the 3D models for PoMa. But it seems like it's online only and has a different purpose which is disappointing. Currently the only other game I play which is turn based is Disney Pixel RPG. I quit HSR because it felt dogshit for me.I'd love for there to really be a Masters 2.0 game, just reset the status quo and the such, but I don't know how many people would be happy to move on to a Masters 2.0. It's just that imo, this game is one of the more unique one, and the monetization system is really solid. I'm trying to not look at it from a rose tinted eyes though because it's my first serious gacha game, before Genshin. It just makes me emotional. Think I might foray into mainline Pokemon games next year.
cute and canon
>>58526222Well, give them a try. Their storylines and lands were fantastic and epic in the original series, though less so now that it's even more family-friendly than before. I haven't played Genshin, but I know roughly what it's like. I suppose Masters 2 should be something like that: an open world where you can play with all the characters you unlock by exploring and battling with sync pairs in first person. And if they go further, since it's online, they could use that power to encompass all the regions, either by loading them from the servers or/and using generative AI for that, as well as having dynamic conversations with the characters using AI. If they do that, Masters will stop being just another unimportant and hated gacha game for base fans.

So do it, Dena. Pull that trigger.

>>58528266They should EOS EN voice acting next. But man how lazy can they be to use Poison Tera AGAIN after just two months?
>>58528266>people want this in mainline games
>>58526085>>58526105Assuming this is the real reason for Indonesia EoS, it's kinda weird since there is nothing to stop injectors/cheaters to get the apk from somewhere else to install the game and set their country to somewhere which aren't Vietnam/Indonesia/Russia.
So who's actually rolling for Arc Blue?
>>58529263I don't really want the son of Arc Ethan and NC Cheren sorry
>>58529263I'm waiting for my refund so I can roll on the Master Fair again. I might roll Miriam for a poison support, but maybe not.
>>58529263I'll wait until the December datamine
>>58529263no one but kantocucks
>>58529263I have both Ethans, Hilda, and Skyla. I'll try my luck with dailys.
>>58526098>this will end sometime sooner or laterI'm giving it at least by the end of the Arceus Arc. Cool if we get a proper epilogue. Where else can the story go after Arceus?
>>58525986Before the anniversary, I thought the end was near, but they've really done a great job these last few months (quite strange). The Passio Tower and the new missions for new players feel more like a future project. And let's not forget ZA. They'll most likely come up with something to continue the story after the Arceus arc.
>>58529263He is not a literal who like Cheren or Bianca so yes, he gets the priority.
>>58529564Pretty sur Duel got EOS when they started something with Arceus. You really can't go to something 'more' than god after all. It was stupid to add Arc suit when Neo Champion are not done yet (Still missing Sinnoh, Paldea and maybe Pasio)But I also blame how they treated legendaries like some route 1 shitmon that everyone can have. Lucas and Gloria could have started with a starter or some popular mon and then got an alt with the legendary. Calyrex got treated as a seasonal shitmon too.
>>58528266>>58528271>>58528391>>58528728Why do chuds dislike the official dub? My theory is that they have some PTSD from hearing that their waifu sounds a lot like the girl that rejected them irl.
>>58530156Any kind of media should be consumed only with the original voice acting and OST. Japanese franchises should use Japanese voices, and so on.
>>58530156It just never sounds natural, it always sounds added and read out. Especially with some series like Fire Emblem, then dialogue is so melodramatic that hearing it just sinks in how inauthentic and cringe it all is.Japanese voice acting is fine for a few reasons>competitive market, usually with multiround auditions>emphasis on the emotions feels more natural (mostly boosted by point above)>dont have to be distracted in Masters by the vocal lines not matching the written lines
>>58530192I still recall the trailer they used for NC Galar and one youtuber shitter was mad because Hop didn't sound brit enough.
>>58530258That's something some people fail to understand, just because a region is inspired by a country doesn't mean it has to be a literal representation of it. But of course, this franchise is plagued with casuals.
>>58530282Forgot to mention the localization team makes this even worse.
>>58530253Do you know that Japanese are not quite fond of most of their voice casting for Pokemas, just take a lot on Pokemonbbs.com, I guess the grass is always greener on the other side.>>58530192>He still thinks that current Pokemon is a Japanese franchiseWho's gonna tell him
>>58530282The bonus points also come with>confusion (not many fire types do that, if they do at all)>gym leaderno supercheese overkill fire type team comps like fire will give you these bonuses either
>>58526125Offline version of this game is retarded and makes no sense. No one would pay money for unlimited legendary gauntlet. At best the game is getting a soft EOS like Mario Kart where it runs like normal but a set yearly schedule and no new content. But even if that eventually gets EOS you need to let go. It's just pixels.
>>58530359meant to post about the fire/flying hse
>>58530313What do they think of the English voice acting? Even worse or another greener grass situation?
>>58530192There are people who enjoy things like Simpsons and Disney movies in their local country's language. The fuck are you on?

>>58521084You're going to be really passed off in like a year or two, since it's almost guaranteed at this point that Red (100% going to be with Pikachu btw) is getting an arc suit, since his boyfriend got one with his starter bird
>>58534385I just never took Blue to be into eugenics
>>58521831Pidgeot is heavily associated with Blue, being his first non-starter Pokemon, to the point that they confirmed in an interview the only reason they even gave Pidgeot a mega was due to the team's association of it with BlueAlso it's pretty obvious in HGSS it's treated as his ace Pokemon, so there is logic behind this choice
>>58529263I am, and I'll be rolling for arc Red when he's released as well
>needs a Mega + arc suit just to beat Giovannis Rhydonlel
>>58534754Blue is one of the weakest champion
>>58534699No one’s asking why it’s chosen as it’s pretty obvious. It just sticks out as a much more regular Mon compared to what other Pokèmon were paired with Arc Suits.
>>58534669It's a weird way to reference him being Oak's grandson, that I agree.

Is Academy Jasmine a big upgrade to Christmas Bugsy? Bug is a really weak type for me (only have Genesect Hilbert and [regular] Adler for non-standard banner DPS) but I've seen what a big difference a solid support can make for tower.If Blue is an EX Fair with a good physical attacker and/or a good support I may just go all in on him too. I like Blue a lot as a rival and I have some good will built up for him because SS Blue was the first truly ubiquitous super strong pair.
>>58536701>good physical attackerlmao. He's special, sorry dude.
>>58536921Not what he said retard. He’s saying if he’s like the Anni fairs & Volo with having 2 featured Pokefairs with one being physical and the other being a support.
>>58536701They are kind of equal. Bugsy have a better bug Zone (last longer with his Grid) but Jasmine also have better stats and the Special break. But you really need something better than normal Alder for the tower
>>58536965>>58536701Doesn't look like it, the datamined info shows that he's the only featured pair.It's not an "EX Arc Fair".
>>58536965>he thought the Arc Fair would get the EX treatmentDoes no one read the datamine around here?
>>58537038Disappointing.>>58536978That was mostly my take on it as well. I wish the cool bugs weren't already used on kind of shitty pairs. My dream is for a Shedinja pair to release but that's not happening.
>>58537302>Shedinja in the One-Weakness gamehow could this possibly go wrong
>>58537287we don't read here
>>58537311>Every single opponent after Shedinja has Toxic

>>58536701She's not quite a "big" upgrade but she does have a lot of little things over him that can go far, including faster buffs and longer circles.It's a quiet competition for top 1 bug support either way.
>>58537287Considering there are people who ask when a character/events drops despite having an infographic in most threads, yeah.>>58537328Status Immunity LS or use with a support that blocks status
How the fuck do you wishlist cards? Why did they hide this?
>>58537038>>58537287DeNA probably saw there was a significant number of players that stopped rolling on anything below an arc fair entirely. It doesn't make sense why else they'd try to make Poke and Master Fair more enticing. It's their own fucking fault for downgrading these other banners with scam suits.
