>>58737692Nice
>>58737636Too soon unless they were specifically told to push up ZA characters faster>Sword and Shield took 1 year>Legends Arceus took like 1.5 years (I doubt any game takes this long again though, since this seemed like more of a logistical thing)>Scarlet and Violet took like 8 monthsThe main holdup is that they will probably need some specific explanation for why they're here, like the Arceus characters. Maybe they tie them into the SV professors because of the whole "time machine" thingMy guess would be that it falls somewhere around Summer-next year's full anniversary. Next year might be a bit unpredictable though, it's hard to say how much they'll lean into nostalgia wanking for the 30th anniversary

>>58737908>time machine with the ZA guysThey can just say around 5 years passed.
>>58738035It’s 100% Taunie.
>>58739767nta, but that wouldn't make any sense in the slightest. However, we already have space time distortions on Pasio, so DeNa already has the means to introduce them, no time/imagination machine required. We also have Rose and Oleana already, who were teleported by Hoopa from a different point in time where they weren't put in jail just yet, and ZA DLC already has a Hoopa as the main focus, so that's already another means of getting ZA characters to show up.
>>58739767Would be way too weird to do that with Lysandre, among other things
>>58737908>Too soonNigga Canari already has her cards released >The main holdup is that they will probably need some specific explanation for why they're here, like the Arceus characters.Does it really matter when Hoopa can bring them there? At least the SV professors have a lot of implications to consider
>>58738035Given the social media reception, you'd have pay people to want Taunie or Urbain.
>>58739962Dude it takes place in the modern day the Z-A characters can just go over there normally like the SV characters did and conveniently never run into Lysandre/Emma/Korrina the same way Ingo doesn't interact with LA characters
>>58740025>Nigga Canari already has her cards releasedTCG operates on a way more accelerated timeline than Masters does, SV characters had cards within like 2 months vs. 8 for Masters
>>58740147Korrina is part of Team MZ and Emma is a close associate. Things can just co exist
>>58740147>characters that are 5 years older than the Kalos cast that is currently in Pasio can just walk up to them like they just talked yesterday>bro just make them avoid the entire Kalos cast>they would also have to avoid literally every other character that knows them because i didnt think when i made that post, because i forgot that Emma always shows up for UB related cases and Lys was a lead villain during the villain arc.>yes, i want Dena to treat them like AshAnon, please. They literally already have the means to introduce them properly, what are you even going on about.

>>58740706>literally just have them avoid the three characters who have separate versions that they'd be familiar with >only one of said characters has actually appeared in an event in the past two years >treated like ashYou severely overestimate the relevance of Emma and Lysandre in this game
The story doesn't fucking matter. They'll add whoever they want and whoever will make money. Arc Silver and Arc Ethan already blew any pattern faggotry out of the water and they keep crawling back for more. Emma will be added. The protagonists, rivals, friends and ZA Royale participants will be added.

What an awful Christmas event, these Paldea fucks make me want to play SV even less
>>58742493It was mostly Alola shilling though. But yeah the story writing in general has taken a serious hit.
>>58742493It's the best Christmas event we've had in years but ok.
Did an (almost) Paldea run, but in the last battle I used a random ass team to showcase my brand new Lance & FlYzard.
>>58742493Hating characters of a game you never played is retarded as fuckI liked the event, it actually felt like a Christmas story and not just a random story with a Christmas skin slapped onStill lame we only got 1 event sync pair again though, they keep getting lazier
>>58742818>Hate the way the characters are written>They come from a game known for its writingNot a good sign. And nothing really Christmas about it until the present at the end. It's just another Arven cooks story. He had a much more interesting bond with N but this one just outright tanked my opinion of him. Can't stand the other Paldea shits either, tired of the pandering altogether
Charting
>>58742863Again, why would you be able to understand or judge how the characters are written when you never played the game they came from, lolThe story is not just about cooking, it's about Arven relating to Gladion and helping Lusamine because he doesn't want her to repeat the mistake that his mother didAnd also about the fact that it was the first time attending a party like this cause Arven grew up alone and abandoned
CharTina ! >You know remember that Serena have a Palentine alt
>>58742944And it was very underwhelming because all issues were just handwaved and swept aside immediately with no sense of pacing. Which you can tell comes from the lack of budget and why we get one Christmas Unit this year to begin with. Even the Lacey story was better written than this since it takes advantage of a unique prior unit to make up for the lack of secondary unit. Here it's just base Gladion and Siebold (the latter who barely plays a part in this event despite being a featured unit) then their Sygna/Holiday alts. This story exists solely to pander to Arvenfags who should have MUCH higher standards than this if he's supposedly the best character of base SVNow the actual personal venting, Arven is just generally uninteresting concept to me. Literally just Ohmori venting about his fucking parents again. And yet he's still better than the other Paldea jokers they keep trying to shill me. DeNA need to do better if they don't want this game to fucking die, otherwise it does feel like they're intentionally smothering it and hope that the loons obsessed with popular characters like Arven can keep this shit afloat
I liked it. I also prefer the outfit from this year since it wasn't a "character walks into a Party City and buys a Santa suit, than pretends to be Santa when no one really asked them too" that they used to do when the game first started out.
>>58743001I really don't understand why you think you can judge the writing or the taste of Arvenfags when you don't know the source materialYou're mad at something you barely know anything about just because it doesn't pander to (You) personally lolAlso it's Masters, obviously the writing isn't gonna be as profound as anything in the mainline games. These are just little fanservice treats for people who like cute character interactions, that's literally what Mastersex is for. This should be very obvious from the way they write Lusamine for example, which is an even more trivialised and dumbed down version of USUM Lusamine who is already a joke compared to SM LusamineWhy would you even play this game if stuff like this bothers you so much lol
>>58743033Because I genuinely do like the characters of the Pokemon franchise and no game other than supposedly SV puts effort in actually fleshing them out as much as PokeMas does. If the SV characters are this fucking annoying in the fanservice game, then I don't think the source game is going to change my opinion
>>58743040>Arven is annoying>Gladion walks into the screen to once again talk about his family problems>Arven walks into a room and Lillie suddenly materializes in the same room..... Arven is the problem? The guy was just trying to be nice to his friends for the holidays, and despite not having a family to share time with, helped a family come together. You clearly just have a rod up your ass about SV in general, so being talking rationally is out of the question.
>>58743052I have more issue with blatantly bad writing doing a horrible job shilling a character to anybody but his already obsessed fanbase by correlating him to characters who already did Ohmori's one-trick pony writing in the first place. You're treating me like the Kikifag who got mad at me for telling them to fucking wait like a month for him to drop after Carmine was revealed. I'm aware I have some completely personal and opinionated feelings about Arven. I'm not necessarily arguing objective quality of the character as a whole, but the combination of me not liking the character in general + lazy, bad fucking writing does not do a good combination to somebody who has little interest in caring about these popular charactersEither they actually put effort into writing the goddamn story next time or focus on shit I care about in the fanservice game. It's simple as that. Cry about it, get better taste
>>58743001Nigga it's a fucking event story. They're not gonna put actual effort into the writing for a story that is only available to players for 2 weeks and then won't come back for at least one whole year.The only parts in Masters that have any decent writing are in the Main Story because those are accessible to any player at any time. The event stories are obviously just gonna be little slice of life things that don't matter in the grand scheme of things. You shouldn't put a fucking character study or canon defining lore in a time gated quest of a gacha, that'd be retarded.Obviously a wholesome little Christmas story isn't gonna rival let alone represent the story of SV, and you're an idiot for thinking so.
I'm currently at 21k gems and want to make sure I get Carmine when she comes out. Is this a good pace or should I rush through the story mode? Is it worth it to throw in a couple pulls for Arven?
>>58743107The events Calendar says Arven leaves on the 31st and Carmine is out on the 27th. If Carmine is your real goal here, just wait and use any leftover gems for Arven.
>>58743107You'll get more or less an extra 6k with optimal play on the 25th for PokeMas day + an S Rank Gym + Christmas so just keep saving. You're in a pretty good spot to go and blow it rn on an impulsive roll
>>58743083Actually, I'm an idiot for thinking an SVfag was capable of holding a conversation without imploding about someone not liking their comfort character
>>58743127That anon >>58743052 was right, you clearly have a weird hateboner for SV for some reason and think ranting about your unfounded hungups counts as a "conversation".
>>58743113>optimal play I started 2 weeks ago so I'm not sure this can be applied here. Are they generous with free gems? My meager f2p roster means I usually have to stick to the easier difficulties for event challenges and I don't think I've been prompted to form a gym yet. Do I have to finish story mode?
>>58743159If you just started just do Story shit you'll have more than enough Gems for Carmine to guarantee her. The rates are shit for MFs but base game more or less has plenty of gems for one confirmed unit. You'll need about 38k iirc for a confirmation
>>58743159Just go at it at your own pace. Carmine leaves on Feb 5th, so you basically will have another month to gather gems if you don't get her the first day. The issue is that if you go for Arven, you jeopardize rolling for Carmine. Note also that as a Master Fair, Carmine will help you out more than Arven in the long run.
>>58743165>>58743179Gotcha. It'd be nice to pull her day 1 but it's not the end of the world if it takes a bit longer. My devotion is undying, after all. Appreciate the answers anons.
Got super distracted by a bunch of shit this morning (nothing important) but here's my chart. Following up on Klara becoming Oak's prize girl, Blue shows him up with his really cool bird blessed by God and immediately takes his new grandma to be his girlfailure mommy GF. Bonjour indeed
Full Paldea chart feat. 3 Arvens
>>58743083>The only parts in Masters that have any decent writing are in the Main StoryNTA but absolutely not lol. The main story is the most formulaic boring shit ever. The good writing comes from the side stories since at least they don’t have to pretend to care about muh powerscaling or acting like the stakes matter.
>>58743469With Main Story I don't just mean the PML Arc mind you, it also includes the Arceus Arc, Villain Arc etc.Either way, Lear's story is one of the best in Masters imo, it rivals most villain/rival stories from the mainline games.
>imaging having to experience things when you can easily get opinions from 4chan shitposts or youtube shills
>>58743495Is that why so many people on the internet are so embarrassingly uninformed and retarded? That's really sad
Irida chartContent when edition?
>>58737488fujotroons are happy with arven
>>58743079>everything is shilling because the characters i like didn't get the altArven's kit is absolute dogshit, they aren't shilling him and they're not hiding his kit from being garbage compared to every other fire unit. He is purely a "pull if you like him". Real shilling is how they handle characters like Leon, Red, Lillie, Cynthia, and anni pairings. There was nothing overdone about him in the story event and his side came off as a very considerate person who can enjoy a holiday even without a family around, and the only thing overdone was ONE AGAIN Gladio and Lillie shoving their family dynamic down everyones damn throats. I would not be surprised if you were immediately pissed off when the datamine showed Arven was getting the christmas alt and thats what this is all about. If it was a character you like, and the event was them being a third wheel to the Lillie family sitcom, you would not be flailing around like this.
>>58743813No I was genuinely hoping for something actually interesting and didn't get that. I said before I liked his first event where he met N and haven't really been convinced since I generally just do not like the Paldea friend group as a whole, let alone Arven>Muh Gladion/LillieLiterally the reason Arven exists in the first place. Yet they bungled an easy fucking story like this completely because Arven has the charisma of a wet noodle. I don't know why you all keep bringing this shit up when it's Arven who is the focus the ENTIRE event because he's the only one with a unique alt. Blaming the obvious fucking side characters for the event being dogshit is cope
>Whimsicott when you have the Impidimp line or Murkrow for prankster dark type>Scovillain out of nowhere for fucking Christmas It's not Paldea but the pokemon choice that suck ass. What's next ? Palentine Wally and Carnivine?
>>58743837Women go crazy for Arven, how does he have no charisma?
>>58743873He's a baby boy character with mommy issues (lbr Violet was never canon) so of course they're going to love him. I understand why he's popular, I get his bits, I see the appeal, but it just comes across as second verse, same as the first for me. He's just a better executed Lillie at the end of the day, but I'm not going to praise him for being more of Ohmori's parental venting. I don't care for the Paldea friends in general, that's why I don't like him because I don't like any of them in the first place. And they're the soul and focus of SV, so why would I be interested in that game or these events? I'm VERY tired of the pandering and this event was genuinely my breaking point when they had the right tools to make something decent and half-assed it altogether. You look at me and tell me that this event cleanly led into that pandery as fuck Arven gift picture. It's a gaslight that only works on people who care about him to begin with. I won't even say I don't care because that's obviously not the case, I'm just annoyed at this year's lower standards as a whole and them over relying on these characters I don't like in hopes it keeps them afloat
>>58743908Whoops I contradicted myself, need to pay more attention to what I write. First "I don't care" is meant to refer to as giving positive attention to the friends. Second one is meant to refer to the tired opinionated "no I totally don't give them thought at all I'm not owned" that makes these types of discussion exhausting and retarded
>>58743873>women
>>58743908>one of the most popular characters from a recent game getting an alt after over a year is pandering >when a litwho from kalos got an alt in less than 3 months
>>58743927>Lodge character gets the single (uno) Holiday alt of the year>Compared to literally who that likely hasn't been heard of since said altOlder events would tend to balance literally whos with shill characters to make the events interesting. After Summer Skyla/Cynthia we haven't gotten shit like that, we're getting less shit than usual and are diehard focusing on plants (lol) so they can keep making money off this game. They could have given Gladion an alt this year to follow up on the same shit as the Cynthia/Skyla resorting to shill characters and THAT would have been less embarrassing than how this event was handled. I'm just saying even if you like this fucker, you HAVE to have higher standards than how they fucking wrote him for this shit
>>58743723*yumestaciesArven is literally surrounded by women, why would fujos care about him lol
>>58743935Oh no they used the holiday unit to give a popular character their first alt when comparatively less popular characters have gotten alts in way shorter timeframes how is this an issue at all
>>58743908>I understand why he's popular>I'm VERY tired of the panderingSo you're just being whiny and jealous because they don't pander to you personally. Makes sense.

For the chartanon-87th Charizard Edition
I liked Arvens character but his design is so… off that I can’t care. It’s like uncanny valley for different aspects
>>58744301Kek, nice
>>58744312SV special really. They started getting better with the DLC, which is unsurprisingly why lots of DLC characters are getting in over base game when it took like 5 fucking years for SwSh DLC to get into this game
>>58744312>>58744356I think it's cause the style clashes with the older gensLike even Juliana looks totally different to the other fem MCs because her eyes have a completely different shape, it's weirdAlmost all Paldea characters have this issue
Have a wonderful Christmas, anons. May it be full of delicious food.
Thinking about how Siebold in this event is probably the first time a Kalos character has been used prominently in the whole year
>>58744796It's kind of sad that now that we have Arven and Pal Victor his sole purpose (being tied with cooking event/stories) is almost useless. But he still have it better than most E4 characters in general (minus Kanto)
Now that I think about it I genuinely don't remember at all who last year's Christmas units were and what the story was about.
>>58744988Lillie and Bugsy doing some musical shit
>>58744988>>58745012It took me a minute but I remembered Lillie due to her status as the top damage challenge slave
>>58745053Bugsy was also the only Bug Support that was worth a damn, considering they barely existed in the first place before that alt.
What was Arven's present...
>>58743482Arceus and Villian arcs have been the worst of the main story. The PML was actually kind of fun because you had combinations like Nanu/Grimsley. The VA was fine up until Johto then it went down hill. Arceus Arc is mostly inoffensive but still nothing worth looking forward to. Agreed on Lear. He’s better than 90% of the mainline rivals. Paulo was a mistake.
>>58745302VA's problem was that it danced around anything actually happening to Paulo forever so that when he finally decides to try to become the ultimate villain it feels like it lasts like 30 minutes before he gets usurped by Giovanni. It's not really a problem that Giovanni outsmarts him in the end because it's literally an adult vs. a kid, it's just that they should have had evil Paulo be way more central to the story than it wasArceus Arc is interesting when the actual story is progressing but so far that's like 10% of the screentime. Assuming it ends the next full anniversary, the rest should hopefully be more interesting, assuming there will be more of a focus on what Volo and Giovanni are actually planning, since each now have chapters that establish to the main cast that they're trying to get Arceus

It's funny, but it's a totally made up character aspect, because Bugsy is much more of a clean slate as a character as a gen 2 gym leader, they can just make shit up and no one will careYou can't do that with a character had a huge story focus like with Arven, you don't need to make up shit and can just work with all the canon material instead. Anyway point is that the story with Lillie and Bugsy is just about Lillie wanting to make music for some reason and Bugsy fucking it up at first, it has nothing to do with Christmas nor are there any interesting conflicts>Bro tried to beef with Lusamine for 2 seconds before being told he was a retarded little boy that needed to chillAnd? Him making a rude or confrontational first impression is literally his thing lolIt's even in his character description and there's several instances of that behaviour in SV. It's a defined character aspect of his, how is that a problem
>>58753280You retards are so fucking easy to bait. Thanks for killing the game for enjoying this crap
>>58753326Sorry for wanting to discuss the game and refute false claims I guess lmfaoooAnd you're welcome bro, don't worry I'm sure you'll get another Shillie alt soon
>>58753343No because last time I talked about this shit it was all just refuting because you believe it's all based on what fucking character I want instead of the quality of the storytelling itself. If you actually can't fucking see why this year's event was dogshit, then you're outright blinded by your love of the character to not care about what they're subjected to writing wiseThat's why I don't care about what you have to say
>>58753365Oh you're the retard who hates characters from a game you never played? Yeah no wonder you couldn't answer my final question then lol
>>58753381>Don't care about SV, it looks like shit>SV characters get added to Pokemon spinoff>SV characters are annoying, don't want to play source game nowLogical conclusion to make. The illogical conclusion is saying an event is good due to bad writing that panders
>>58753394No you just have a bad case of conformation bias and feel really smug about it for some reasonIt's not bad writing in the first place, you just don't like it cause you want to feel vindicated in your unfounded dislike
>>58753407Have fun with your dogshit unit because they drew a picture of him giving you a Christmas present, I've said my piece
>>58753410Still waiting for an explanation why his writing is bad btw, you keep refusing to address this
>>58749693Little more than minimum, but yup. Never skipping an easy golden coin.
>>58753432It's almost like he knows he's wrong.
>>58753432>>58753449I already pinpointed my main issue with the event is how little his encounter with Lusamine meant. Defusing that entire situation with just a single sentence told me all I needed to know about the character. He's a wet blanket that exists to mope and the player makes him feel better because friendship is the key to happiness. His suffering is uninteresting because it's basically a creator mouth piece that I'm tired of fucking seeing in every goddamn piece of media I'm subjected to. If you are satisfied with a fucking crybaby making friends fine, but if these are the standards of modern Pokemon game writing and considered the pinnacle of the entire franchise then I have absolutely no hope for this series to ever have real writingNow to make you all more upset so you can keep pretending it's about the character and not the writing itself, I like Kieran
>>58753481>I already pinpointed my main issue with the event is how little his encounter with Lusamine meant. Defusing that entire situation with just a single sentence told me all I needed to know about the character. He's abrasive and impulsive but well-meaning, I told you already. It's very consistent with his writing. If you personally dislike that then that's your problem, but it doesn't make the writing objectively bad lol>He's a wet blanket that exists to mope and the player makes him feel better because friendship is the key to happiness.Lmao how is on earth is he a wet blanket? He basically never mopes, in fact his character arc is about opening up to the player and learning to trust them until he is finally able to mope about the truth>His suffering is uninteresting because it's basically a creator mouth piece that I'm tired of fucking seeing in every goddamn piece of media I'm subjected to.What the fuck? That's literally your schizo headcanon. Like yeah Ohmori said he based his character vaguely on his experience but calling him the authors mouthpiece is schizophrenic as fuck>If you are satisfied with a fucking crybaby making friends fineHe's not a crybaby at all, what fucking fanfic did you read to think that?>but if these are the standards of modern Pokemon game writing and considered the pinnacle of the entire franchise then I have absolutely no hope for this series to ever have real writingWhat standards? The ones you made up? You just define a character for yourself and then get mad that others like that character even though it only exists in your head, born from some weird schizo obsessions>I like KieranWow you really don't know shit about SVs characters. Kieran IS literally a crybaby. He's acting like a salty little child and literally cries in the game, on-screen tears and all, and his story is about making friends. In other words EXACTLY the things you made up about Arven to dislike him, lmao
>>58753531Exactly, and I think Kieran does it better. Have fun with your assumptions and dogshit Holiday unit
>>58753541Man you really refuse to answer any questions I ask you huhIt's ok I already know you don't have any real arguments, just delusions based on your headcanonsKieran doesn't do it "better" because he's nothing like Arven in the first place but ok dude, link me your fanfics one day
>>58753481Cuckran is an even bigger sissy faggot than Arven
Game’s so dead fags are desperate for something to argue about
I miss a new serena alt; it's been a while since the last one. Maybe New Year's? Although, on the other hand, not yet. My gems wouldn't be able to handle it to get alive to the last half-anniversary.
>>58753783Hopefully next year is the year of Kalos since Z-A cause 2 years no new alt is very impressively apathetic towards current Kalos
>>58753783>>58753909Arc Serena Z
>>58753783Her master fairs are really starved for updates in general.I was expecting NC to have her grid buff by now.
>>58753925Is very unfair and strange that the only female arc was cynthia. I hope serena can change the habit of arc shits pairs from this year
>>58754031Because we're 3 decades into a male-developed power level franchise and most "strong female characters" have been more recent. All of the Arc Suits have been Champion at some point except Shillver because Champions are what this franchise deems as the "most powerful characters"The real BS is that Diantha hasn't gotten shit yet despite Alder, a significantly less popular character, having his Arc Suit awakened. You can't even say it was because Unova needed a rep because we had JUST got N at that point. He's definitely the best Bug rep for the game, but at the same time the Johto units ruined the possibility of Arc Suits just being singular types even if I believe that Ethan/Silver was 100% something they were mandated to do and not fully intended to be in the line up to begin with... Do you think they'll pull an Alder with Diantha now and introduce Arc Diantha with Ansha?
Chart is here ! Tina take the crown this week ! Side notes :Winter Arven start at 4. Last year Bugsy started at 3 and Lillie at 6.Variety Lance (second edition) start at 5. I was curious so I checked the list of all the Flying type with a Strike Physical Sync (since they are not really common or know to be good) and only Summer Liza is ahead of him (6 uses). He is on par with Lodge Skyla and Kahili, while Anni Steven, Nate, New Year Lance and Palentine Elesa have for best result two uses in one CS.Next week first ranking NothingRienNada何もないNichtsNienteKhông có gìAs always you still can post your clears ! See you next week !Only two charts left for 2025 ... Who will take the crown? Who will be mocked? What Eggmon will show it's absolute supremacy? Do you even know that Eiscue is in the game ? We will know all these answers very soon...
>>58754144You'd really think a gacha would know that female waifus pull big money and override the main franchise trend. But we've also seen that the males sell and I imagine a chunk of that is not the main fanbase but the fujos.>>58754176I keep trying to fit in Palentine Dawn and I just never can... But also big cock boyfriend May being at 0 is a crime.>Summer Liza at 6We all know why.
>>58754207>I imagine a chunk of that is not the main fanbase but the fujos.Fujos and, even more so, yumes are probably the main fanbase of this game at this point, anon.
>>58754176I honestly forgot Eiscue was in the game
>>58754176So many supports and so little space to fit them inSpeaking of which, jfc Erika
>>58754176I think Victor & Spectrier might be missing
>>58754694Nevermind, found out where he's been hiding
>>58754176>All this drama about Arven just for 4 fag using him
>>58753925>Arc Serenatoo weak, needs to be a champion-tier trainer to get an arc
>>58755513Rena's one of the stronger PC trainers in the game. The lower tier ones are Hoenn, Sinnoh and Alola. It's only really more recently they've been acknowledging Champion-tier MCs with Galar and Paldea>Leon is the only other "Former Champion" after Alder and he still got the Arc Suit
>>58755513The Mother of Legendaries and my children next month!
>>58755543>"Serena's too weak">"It's gonna be Lillie this time fr!"
>>58755556I said what I said.
>>58755561Setting yourself up for disappointment
>>58755532>Rena's one of the stronger PC trainers in the game.Uh, no In Masters she is no stronger than May or Lyra or Rosa.And definitely weaker than Brendan
Serena is very strong, even stronger than Calem officially, so she'd definitely beat up those two Johto freaks and the arrogant Blue. But knowing Dena, they're capable of making a Lillie arc suit for the money or continuing with more of the same male protagonists.
>>58755584May is rival, so she's 100% weak as fuck. Lyra is also NPC Lyra so she has even less value than May. The only character you can actually compare her to is Rosa, who is also middle of the road for feMCs in PokeMas. Totem goes as follows:>Champions:Funny JulianaGloria>Kanto Buff:Leaf>Not a protag but Battle Subway nut so she's the real dealHilda>Protag but not Champion:Serena (never lost to Calem), Rosa, Kris, Selene, Dawn, Elaine (they're more or less pretty equal, Elaine isn't "True Kanto" so she doesn't get the real Kanto buff like Leaf)>NPC hell:MayPower GapAkariPOWER GAPLyra
>>58755605>even stronger than Calem officially>offiiciallysourcess: my ass
>>58755647Read the literal fucking in-game bios, retard
>>58754176>Kiawe>Valerie>GordieCucked trio of slop alts
>>58755390What does that have to do with his story event, retard
These are all my 4* pairs. I do have more than enough silver tickets, but they know what they have done
>>58755614>Serena (never lost to Calem)Your Neo Champion event?
>>58755605She's mid gameplay-wise.
>>58756848based katherine
>>58756848What needs to go wrong in someone's life for them to hate based Drake?
>>58758113The sea is a cruel mistress, anon
>>58757541Congrats
>>58748043Liza is innocent!!
>>58757541Hooray! My cute wife Whitney is so adorable! I love her so much!
>>58754176How many different chart anons do we have now?I see; Tate, Oak, Irida, Whitney and Chuck a lot. Do we have any other dedicated fans?
Sex with Roxie
>>58749693I needed a fire extinguisher
>>58749693I barely forced myself to clear each stage once. This mode is just too shit.
Anons, I saw that Real Racing 3 finally came to EOS after more than 10 years, and it seemed like it would last forever, but it looks like they're not going to include an offline mode and it will cease to exist completely forever. Could this happen with Masters ex? It's really sad to see games censored forever. Damn, even old, obscure games from decades ago can be played with emulators. That's is unfair and sad :(
>>58760492>Could this happen with Masters ex?It definitely will.This is why so many people were supporting Stop Killing Games, but that went nowhere.
>>58760492Either it become a new Shuffle (no more update and die in a decade or so)Or it join Duel in the grave
>>58760492It definitely will. The only reason I'd play this game in an offline mode is if they put my waifu in the Lodge. But any waifufag could make a better version of the Lodge though, with the know-how and time. Variety of gifts, reactions to each gift, a sentence or two in response to topics, stringing certain topics for bonuses, anime voices lines if you don't mind the VA change, different outfits if they have alts, better and smoother animations. Anyway, Masters is an interesting game for its battle system and it has a lot it can offer that the main games can't or won't. But I don't see that being enough to give it an offline mode. Especially since they're squandering what they have now.
>>58760492Who?
Is there a Fairy unit that does burn/para/poison that I'm not thinking of besides fucking Valentine's Serena?Having to cope with confusion on the status tower floors is the worst
>>58762485L Lillie does trapping and maybe confusion too, in general confusion or trapping is enough for the first 20 floors if you have a busted unit to compense it.H Lillie does also confuse with her attacks.Can't remember if the free Alcremie from Palentines also have Flabbergast like some other Fairy units, anyway you should have a search tool in the teambuilder and pomatools.Also new year between a new Fairy fair/arc and last Furisode Girl could cover you too.
>>58762517Checked for Flabbergast and Gobsmack:L Leaf (also Metronome random status)PennySS MinaMC AlcremieVolo (also can apply status from Metronome)H LillieSS WallyKatherineBede>Trapping L LillieAvoid Sleep.
>>58762485Gunk Shot, Zap Cannon, and Inferno from Volo’s B Move :^)
>>58762561Looks like SS Wally + Gladion is the best pair for now unfortunately>>58762566Would unironically try it if they were aoe
>>58762566He is more reliable than Burgh and Leaf because he has a more limited selection of stronger attacks with half of them applying status, plus Dynamic Punch, add in how he does also debuff the enemies stats, his Metronome can hit very hard and nail some good chunk of HP, especially for the first 19 floors, I did it at 1/5 without EXR.I have 0 tower cheese fairies beside H Lillie that hits hard, 1/5 Ortega and Sycamore with H Lillie and BP Valerie and Defense Crush 1/5 Penny were the only units I used there, both Paldea Team Star fairy units were from either the 10th day ticket or pokemas day free pulls.Until Floor 15 or 16 I used fun Metronome teams with Burgh, Leaf or Bede and Volo, it was fun.
>>58762602And until Floor 10 or 11 I did use double (You) Alcremie and Volo, earlier even that shitty Dawn and Alcremie at 1/5 and no EX. Probably the most fun I had in Pasio Towers despite disliking Fairy type and having barely any good unit. Wish we had some other types with Metronome. Like Normal Shift Metronome.
Paxton and (Mega) Meganium Sync Pair when?
>>58762760I just realized there will be an event where Lear and his Hoopa meet Ansha and her HoopaThat will be funny
>>58762944>Silly Prankster vs Lazy Fatty
>10 Days to 2026!
