Yea, this game is so fucking dead. This is objectively the worst fucking pack they've released thus far, and the bar was already pretty low. I feel retarded for blowing just 200 hourglasses on this shit. I wanted to go in blind without leaks, but that was easy since nobody even posted leaks anyway. Then when I opened the packs I realized I should have spoiled myself ahead of time and saved hourglasses.

Also I'm OP of the fucking thread and there's not a single new post yet. Oh nvm one just showed up as I attempted the captcha that ironically only bots can fucking solve.

They couldn't even bother getting new art for the waifus either. That's how fucking sad this set is. They have fanartists that would literally give them art for free just to have it featured in the game, and they just fucking re-used arts. For the cards that were obviously included purely for the sake of "fanservice."

This set is fucking ass. Going to play a real pocket TCG now before I keep getting angrier.

WTF is this set?
I'm a waifu collector, but I don't see the point in getting the same card from ELEVEN expansions ago with reused art. In terms of Pokémon, I don't see any potential in any of the cards (not even for fun decks), so the meta will remain exactly the same as last month.
Did these pieces of shit only hire 1 person to handle the entire expansion? Or why the fuck does it look so low effort?

Why the fuck does everyone hate Arven all of a sudden

>>58963895
MALE and most of people find his story annoying and cliche, only fujos like him and they are pretty noise about it, like with the two yaoi baits from SWSH.

>>58963895
The board is significantly deader than it was back then. Also this is a f2p game so plenty of people who can't afford to play the actual games will screech about them.

>>58963897
I thought his story was the first Pokémon story that was actually competently written when it usually relies on retarded cliches
Sounds like people who seethe about it didn't even play the game

Why would they care, he doesn't do anything gay
>>
>>58963902
Anon, Arven has the "my parents suck" and "my parents are dead" tropes, the most common cliches for 99% of your arevage shonens.
>>
I don't even know why I'm "playing" this game. I guess it's just low effort to just open the app and open your 2 daily packs. Other than that I don't really care about battles.
>>
>>58963905
That's basically all I do. I haven't done a PvP battle since like a month after release.
>>
>>58963904
Nta but cliches aren’t inherently bad and that’s ridiculously reductive you can “Muh family muh revenge muh community” and cover 90% of plots lol
>>
>>58963895
>everyone
it reads like 1-2 dedicated schizos desu
especially since the main talking point they keep bringing up is his dead parents as if the sick dog isn't the important thing for 99% of the game lol

>>58963905
I mean I've only ever played it to collect cards I like. Don't think I've ever done PvP.
>>
>>58963904
>"my parents suck"
Yes they do, his mom/dad neglected him his whole life
This isn't a "mommy and daddy didn't allow me to do something dangerous UGH they should die" situation, his mom/dad was genuinely cruel to him
>"my parents are dead"
He was literally in denial about it until the very end and then got over it basically instantly

Neither of these are common cliches
Be honest, you only read a story synopsis and assumed the most generic shit didn't you

Is this the most underwhelming pack release of all times by a huge margin?

None of the cards seem good nor fun, so I guess I'll keep using the same deck I've been using since mega rising.
Hopefully the next pack is better. I'll start saving hourglasses if the packs start being this bad.

What an absolute nothingburger set. I rolled 1 10x for the sake of it but I'll just complete the 4ds with normal packs and move on, don't even care about FAs. How are they fucking rushing a digital card game so bad they need to push out shit like this? At that point you might as well let FP last 2 months.

>>58963352
How so
Part of the power of Mega Venusaur is that it technically does 130 per turn and can force a coinflip on the opponent that can make them miss at least once turn
Aside from Fire decks, the only cards that it has consistently worse chances against are Ogerpon and Arceus

>>58963634
That is still Fantastical Parade. This is pretty up there though. You just know they want to fuck people out of 24 Hour WPs unless they pull out the wallet.

Suicune hits for 60+ how many other bench warmers your opponent stupidly puts down. The opponent can actively affect that damage output which is why it's ok that 2 for 120is there.

Altaria needs a full bench to hit for 130, but you also need consistency, which is why it sits surrounded by a pile of 50HP babyshit. Without Altaria on the board alt decks just don't do anything.

Blaziken and Solgaleo are stage 2's so they need Rare Candy to be attacking on turn 4.

The only other 2 energy 120 attacks out there have pretty bad drawbacks, like Cofagrigus needing to discard 2 cards, or Heliolisk discarding all energy,
>>
>>58964595
Yeah, you can also run ditto with him to have three mons pivoting doing 120 damage each turn

Truly a mystery.

>>58964735
If she was that popular you'd think she'd get a new card that was actually worth something and not just a reprint of a useless card.

>>58964735
but why make it have the exact same effect as the original? now they'll keep doing it like reusing may for a hoenn set(and probably in the same outfit)

>>58964741
Because we live in the "least effort put" gaming era.

Also adding to that, according to the last survey 80% of players don't interact with battles.

I'm not actually in this community, I collect physical cards and I only look at the datamine to see if my favorite mons or waifus get new art.

So 99% of the cards are just reused art, including most of the full art rares? Damn

I'm not seeing it as an attacker but more of a first set gardevoir mana ramp on the bench, but beyond that I think the inflatable boat might be a little better if you "ideally" have 2 bax on the board and one gets pulled to the front.

I think it must be, because you just made Hydreigon stronger. Discarding is not a cost of the attack, it's an additional effect. If that effect doesn't happen, Hydreigon still deals damage but does not discard anything.

Did they decrease the rate for four diamonds? I did a 10-pull and I didn't get a single one. Maybe my luck is just bad but I feel like since fantastic parade the rate has gone way down.

Is Arven even worth running in any deck?
Like best case scenario it's an Oak sidegrade (pulls Pokeball for +2 draw) but its coinslop so you also need to have tools and care about drawing them
>>
>>58963736
i feel like i keep waiting for these cards to get more exciting, stuff like the arceus pack with the special holos were cool, or the special EX cards from the deluxe pack.
I'd love to see them revive stuff like the team plasma pokemon, gym leader pokemon, level X cards, etc. Or do totally new shit, I was half expecting some kind of nifty halloween or christmas themed mini sets, but it seems they have the game right where they want it, and that's a shame

Kinda? Old decks usually stomp in early metas. Meow seems mostly good to me, although its hard to use. The fact that it needs to actively think where to place damage makes it harder to use than any unga bunga deck this game tosses at us

God blessed me with these pulls today from only 14 packs for the 70 PP 2D craft.
I somehow pulled one of each of the 2-star Gholdengos.
Don't underestimate the value of day 1 2-stars, because nobody has 24hr WP, yet.
>>
>>58966855
Wug always picks 3. Gholdengo picks an amount equal to however many energies it has.
>>
>>58966855
Nah, you can ramp it to one shot the entire board.
I traded it away, because the gameplay is too linear.

>>58966868
I think just Orthworm, Probopass, and Dialga.
>>
>>58966871
I needed a second Giovanni.
Now I'm free to trade my foil for somethimg else.

I think that if you want a card in the early game, you want to run two copies.
Otherwise, you aren't getting even 1 with any consistency.

So, in regards to the "they nerfed Hourglasses from challenges" thing.
I did some calcs, and this set basically confirmed that we're getting the same amount of HG from before in the same way I predicted on Fastastical Parade's release.
We get fewer HGs than we used to get from sets that have 100+ cards, but the difference is more than made back comparing it to sets that had less than 100 cards.
Both WSS and MR had a max amount of 134 HGs, which is 14 more than the 120 we get now.
But smaller sets like EC and CB had 81, which means we get 39 more HGs than we got from those.

Also, looking at both HGs per diamond rarity card, and HG per card total in the sets, this set is second and first respectively in most HGs obtained by cards in the set.
>>
>>58967861
Random battles fucking suck and are a chore to grind.
>>
>>58967861
Then we get more, not the same amount?
Each big set had 2 following smaller sets. So you do 2*39 and then subtract 14.
That's a net gain of 64 for that particular example you used.
Just looking at that table I can tell that the HG average from pre-FP is lower than the average of post-FP.
>>
>>58967753
I'm taking a break after this shit that's for sure, praying Champions shadow drops so it can keep me busy
>>
File: average.png (37 KB, 627x365)

>>58967918
Right, calculating the average like that would make more sense.
And yes, it seems it's more HGs on average per set than before, good catch.
>>
>>58967861
They're nerfed because they are under a time limit to do them. Before, all your hourglasses could be collected at any point since the Step up Battle never disappeared. But now, half of your hourglasses are locked under a timed event.

>just do it, it's not hard

You are missing the point. It's the principle of the matter.
>>
>>58967977
I don't see that as an issue.
If anything, it adds even more value to those 72 HGs specifically because you can miss them.
I think if, instead of 12 HGs you got a "pack redeem" where you HAD to immediately open a pack, then I'd agree since you could be stuck having to open from a set you have no interest on.
But a whole month to get 72 HGs that you can just keep and use whenever something appeals to you show up is definitely not an issue.
>>
>>58967990
If they continue releasing sets like FP in a single pack, those hourglasses will have way less value because you are being forced to pull from sets with way worse odds than previous sets of 2 or 3 packs.
Gating 2/3 of your hourglasses behind a FOMO grind is objectively bullshit and one of the many reasons why this game is dying.
>>
>>58968041
>you are being forced to pull from sets with way worse odds than previous sets
First, you're not forced to pull from them because they're hourglasses.
You can pick any pack to open with them, and you don't have to open them immediately, meaning you can just hold on to them to use in a future pack.
Second, every single pack since release have had the same pull rates for specific rarities, as seen in >>58965844 (also by myself)
Third, by your definition, the entire game is FOMO. If you don't login for 24 hours, you missed a pack. And the definition of "grind" used here is extremely loose, as you can literally just enable auto with a B tier deck and it will still clear the challenges.
