you're genuinely retarded, the entire chapter 6 (the most story advancing chapter) was her vs Volo again
and her Giratina getting yoinked and her vowing to get it back

She has been THE protag of arceus arc so far, Rei has mostly been lurking

2 more arcs in ~July maybe. Then Arceus-Cynthia and Rei-something for 7-th anni. However, new arcs suits will still continue after that too. Arceus will become BFF with Pasio

I'm calling it now: Arc Suit Diantha and Iris will drop at the same time.

They could, but why?
They need to start PLZA stuffs soon
>>
>>59102925
They can have both at the same time, that's what they're doing with academy shit anyway
>>
>>59102925
ZA doesn't need a full story arc. Scarlet and Violet didn't have one. Even Legends Arceus didn't. The Arceus arc is about alts. They could just be dropped like any random new character.

Honestly what's probably keeping Z-A characters from being added is DeNA doesn't have magic insider knowledge and doesn't know what the new mega abilities are to design movesets around. It'll probably happen after Champions is released so let's say August or October.
>>
So, when does the new Gym drama drop?
>>
>>59102931
Holy shit I can't wait for Corbeau.
>>
>>59102932
I don't know. I'll leave mine on join one of you fags gyms if you're okay with me almost exclusively just dropping single tickets and debuff spamming. I still haven't left my lazy one since it at least consistently reaches S rank even if the battle participation is shit.
>>
Arceus for 7-th anni makes a lot of sense, because September 2026 is the 20-th anniversary of gen 4 (D&P release in Japan)
but who knows with DeNA
>>
>>59102938
Might be tough to find an open slot now, the big shuffle drama happened right after kicking leeches was available again.
>>
The main problem with ending Arceus arc already is I don't see how you can release future arc suits without tying it to the main story. Even if the stories are all trash and completely disjointed from each other. So let's say Volo has chimp out maximus and gets fucked by Rei and Arceus or whatever and disappears. Why would they still need to do tournaments? I don't even know where the main story can go from there anyways. Paldea isn't interesting enough for a full 2 year block. So let's assume arc suit stories still get dropped in standalone events every few months like neo champions. What will the main story be about? Arc suits are already designed to endlessly milk existing assets and have nothing stories.
>>
>>59102953
I've always thought that non-champions and then specifically gym leaders getting arc suits was a terrible move and a sign that they don't know what the fuck they're doing (as if it wasn't obvious already).
>>
>>59102953
future arc suit "stories" would just be separate events and not numbered chapters of the arceus arc, otherwise the same
And you dont need a tournament to get an arc suit

>What will the main story be about?
Well they'll make something up
or take a break from doing main story until they figure it out

They teased Arceus itself coming to Pasio and Volo cant stay away forever, he needs to strike at some point
There needs to be resolution and a payoff
>>
>>59102964
I hated it too. I was here bitching and moaning when arc Silver and Ethan happened because as expected it did open a terrible can of worms. Having every Joe schmuck be a potential candidate was a mistake. If it was just champions at least it would only be one or so every few months and it's a predictable consistent pattern. I don't know how shitting out 2 of these things every 2 months is sustainable. Do they not think heavily invested players will eventually get demoralized just give up on spending for a collection if it's this untenable? I never thought we were actually going to get one of each type but it's completely fair game now. It's crazy how little backlash there ended up being about arc suits since it started over a full fucking year and a half ago. Assuming the worst case scenario I don't know how whales can afford this many arc suits. How much is 90000 paid gems?
>>
>Kanto has 5 (five) arc suits
>on top of Red getting 2 EXMFs in the last 6 months
this game is a joke lol
>>
>>59102983
I don't know if Sabrina is just going to reuse arc Misty's theme or not but I don't know how many more variations this poor composer can do of the Kanto gym leader theme with the stupid DUUUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUUUUUUUN Arceus motif in the middle. There's already a million variations of it as is because Kanto Elite 4 never had an original theme and each member got a variation.
>>
I'm not surprised that they're spamming AS, this is the usual gacha game tactic of limited after limited
I'm disappointed that they didn't address their shit ass format compared to the rest of the banners
500 points instead of 400, but still 1% rate out of 12% full of gen pool like Master Fairs, and they're not any stronger unless they're released during an anniversary just like Master Fairs were/are
Unironically Arc Fairs should have been "fixed" first.

>>59102357
>>59102365
She's one of the only good / liked Kalos characters within the game outside of the friend group (split into MCs with alts and not important enoughs), Diantha, and hex. They have to use her where they can. Wouldn't mind some ZA soon, though.

>>59102580

>>59102983
My Kanto hatred gets validated more and more all the time. Cancer region
>>
>>59102977
If I had been a part of this general then, I would've joined you.

Back when AS Ethan and Silver were announced, I was annoyed by the fact that up until that point, Arc Suits seemed to be exclusive to champions, but now they weren't. Then I said "whatever, at least they're a legendary duo owned by two rivals and I like Silver anyway". Then another rival but also a champion (Blue) got his Arc Suit and it seemed like they were going back to the original pattern.

I legitimately saw AS Brock and Misty as some sort of twisted early April Fool's joke. But I realized that can be "justified" as them being the first ever gym leaders, Ash's first two travel buddies in the anime, and the first two characters you get in this game aside from yourself, so at least they're SORT OF "iconic" as far as gym leaders go.
But what the fuck justifies a character like SABRINA getting an Arc Suit?? And forming a duo with a random gym leader from a completely different region?? fucking lol

I love how you can tell they desperately tried to pick two pokémon of opposite types so the character choice wouldn't be completely random. Maybe if instead of Sabrina it was Diantha, I wouldn't have minded Korrina due to Kalos being where Mega evolution made its debut.

If this were a champion-only thing, the Arceus arc's plot structure would make perfect sense. There are just enough champions to match the potential number of chapters, just like the Villain arc and the number of villain orgs. Are they simply too afraid of being "predictable"? I don't see why they couldn't provide fanservice of less important characters (like gym leaders) with other kinds of alts like Sygna Suits (which Sabrina doesn't have) or costumes (which Korrina doesn't have). Maybe they've gotten too lazy to come up with original plots for events. Or maybe the pressure from TPC/GF to do Kanto pandering around this time was too great?
>>
>>59103015
Ngl, I like it. That's my favorite part from the Kanto gym leader theme.
>>
>>59103019
She's overall better and for good reason, considering Cynthia is a nearly 4 years old sync pairs
Though if you really wanted, you could use both together as SS Cynthia gives a lot of duration to EX Fighting Zone
Funnily enough the Fighting has also one of the few, good mixed attackers in the game.
>>
>>59103028
What's more, fans of minor characters would still be hyped as fuck if their favorites got a Sygna Suit or special costume, or literally any kind of alt that isn't an Arc Suit. Besides, Arc Suit designs all have the same theme and they're way less original than other kinds of alts.
Absolutely nothing justifies this, I'm baffled by DeNA's decisions.
>>
>>59102996
They didn't have to do all this stupid shit if they just had pools for each banner type, immediately cycled old units into a pool after they stop being relevant and killed off the idea of a standalone rerun banner outside of event reruns that need them for multipliers or bonus points or whatever.
>general pool in every banner as usual
>respective old holiday sharing 1-2% of each new holiday banners
>old Pokefairs sharing 1-2% in a new Pokefair banner
>old Master Fairs share 1% of the useless 11% garbage in Master fair banners
>all old variety slop sharing 1-2% of a new variety
>repeat for special costume or academy or whatever other of the dozen banner types
>can't spark anyone but the featured unit or general pool
>reruns of old units if needed for events have them featured as rate up while relatively newer old limited units in pool
>will always have a chance of getting someone you missed as a consolation prize
I left feedback for suggestions of this but then I guess maybe they interpreted it or took what someone else said to do that stupid dogshit Pokefair downgrading shit so you only get old Pokefairs sometimes. I even left feedback for a different suggestion.
>don't do anything different with pools
>make new general pool units
>feature old Pokefair reruns with them
>say they add Drayden
>throw in champ Iris and/or Lance in the pool rate up
>maybe have small limited pools grouped by type or region
Then it turned into the stupid EX Master banners again. IT'S NOT LIMITED BANNERS THAT NEED TO BE MORE ENTICING.
>>
>>59103015
Like the rest of the music in this game that's just random notes and noise. Sounds like Brock's sped up with different instruments. The poor composer is being stretched so thin being forced to remix the Team Rocket and Kanto gym music 100 times.

Korrina just looks like she was made solely to be Aura Cynthia new and improved. Sabrina looks alot more better as an overall unit. She even gets a double Sprint role on entry and after mega-ing
>>
>>59103028
All I felt from seeing these new arc suits was just fatigue not even anger or shock. That already happened with Brock and Misty. One problem is they pick these characters and the writing isn't even good. Brock and Misty's story is the worst arc story yet and maybe one of the worst stories the entire game. You can see the problem with gym leaders is they're extremely shallow one note throwaway characters you forget about after you earn the badge.

Ethan and Silver's was terrible because they used Pokémon they had no connection to at all going against every other story of using their ace. Champions usually have clear motivations. They don't even try to justify the gym leader tournaments besides Blue forcing the format around gym leader pairs. Without having seen it I already know the new plot will be as meaningless as terrible as Brock's and they're probably not going to show the winner again. I guess Blue's suggestion wasn't a one off and they're just going to shit out double gym leader or whatever arbitrary category arc pairs every other month. It completely cheapens being blessed by Arceus too. What a whore.

My favorite part of the villain arc was that it was at least somewhat predictable. You could guess the characters like the protagonists/rivals, villains and champions and what legendary is featured. Arc gym leaders is no fun. No one ever guessed or could possibly have guessed Brock, Misty, Sabrina and Korrina and it's not fun to. Fuck it Arc Thorton Arc Cilan Arc Will Arc Sophocles. All completely fair game. No clue their stories nor does it matter. If it was all champions you could at least guess.
>arc Wallace vs Juan, Lisa or Steven
>arc Iris vs Drayden or Drayton
>arc Kukui vs Lance
>arc Hau vs Gladion
>arc Diantha vs arc Geeta fuck it
>only have to roll 1 of these every few months until the story ends instead of 30
Oh actually it's just random fuck gym leaders partaking in tournaments for only gym leaders now.
>>
>>59103180
>She even gets a double Sprint role on entry and after mega-ing
"Head Start" is a "Debut" type of skill so it doesn't trigger again with Mega Evolution
AS Korrina is a SSA Cynthia 2.0, but Fighting tower you probably still want Aura Cynthia because the latter is one of the few Fighting types that can apply a status (50% chance of paralysis on vacuum wave)
On the other hand though, AS Korrina + SSA Cynthia + SS Bede should be able to clear the whole tower by themselves.

They're forcing the dude to make like 10 different arrangements of the same 2 fucking KANTOOOOOOOOOO themes, when themes from other regions need alternate arrangements since the first ones they got are complete shit.

As much as people like to wank Arceus, there's actually no reason it has to be the strongest thing out there forever. Alternate dimensions exist, you can straight up travel between them in Ultra Space, so there's an endless number of alternate beings.
But more realistically, it's worth nothing that Arceus isn't actually stated to be creator of all things, but is thought to be in the mythology of Sinnoh. There's a bunch of different directions you can take that for further design space.

Eos talk is because they are going to stop replying to customer support outside of a few languages starting in June
But this doesn't mean that the game is going to stop in those regions, just that they'll only listen to messages in english language and a few else

After four (4) Kanto gym leader arc suits and four (4) story mode freebie arc suit DeNA owes me an Arc Norman, Lodge Norman, Classic Norman, Sygna Norman, Seasonal Norman and Variety Norman this year.

You don't have to update the copyright yearly but it gives the impression of an up to date business since it shows you're keeping up your copyright. Most places do it, like pokemon.com

Making a thread for people doesn’t make you a representative you absolute retard lmao. The character fags who post regularly are closer to representatives. Fact of the matter is EOS talk started cropping up around 3rd anni. Look through the Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, and 4chan threads around the time versus one (1) thread in a general with less than 100 regulars.

>>59104062
I want to like her but her moveset looks really strange so far. EX zone support is obviously a golden combo but Fighting is still so lukewarm offensively that the cap on her b-moves looks really painful (and also she's a physical ST sync anyway, naturally).
Why does Lucario insist on being such a clunky shitter

Yeah ok
If you're going to make generalizations this wide about a timeframe that specific then the burden of proof squarely falls on you.
Nevermind that you're pushing a flagrantly pointless argument in the first place since the trannies comprising the bulk of this franchise's english-speaking fanbase have, in fact, been specifically averse to Masters since its inception.

Should I pity SS Korinna or Nemona? I'm stuck on Ghost and Electric towers completely lacking a physical attacker...I COULD 2/5 Juliana as well but I'm not sure how much that's gonna help me right now
>>
>>59104062
I'm rolling because I like Korrina, but was hoping for an attacker instead of a support, so I guess that's the reason I'm not super excited.

I skipped NC Bianca, and now her rerun this month has her shoved into a triple share of the shit 1% rate.
>>
>>59104230
Ah shit I also forgot Anni Skyla and Lysandre and Yveltal are also options...my Flying is far worse off than my Elec and Ghost which are just hardblocked by the first physical check, but those two would definitely get me stuck on the same check as well.
>>
>>59104230
Nemona but I wouldn’t pity either
>>
>>59104230
Between the two SS Korrina is much better.
She is a bit gimmicky herself though, so you'd definitely want tech candies ready.
>>
>>59104257
Nemona seems to be the only physical elec available outside waiting for a SST Red rerun sadly. I have N and Zekrom at 2/5 but he does shit for damage even with 96 Red on his side.
>>
>>59104263

How do Tower rewards work? Do you get extra rewards for completing a certain amount of floors per week or is it just total number of floors cleared? I could clear a couple floors right now with the Free Red Articuno but I don't know if I should wait unti next week.
>>
>>59104269
oh shit he's physical? Goddamn am I stupid that sounds like my answer
>>
>>59104279
>or is it just total number of floors cleared?
This is correct.
There wouldn't be any remaining source for the 180-200 mats otherwise.
>>
>>59104279
Each week you get rewards based on how many floors you cleared so far, doesn't matter if during this week or the previous one.
>>59104263
N and Zekrom are awful at low move levels, and even when maxed out are subpar considering the investment.

I always need to delete/uninstall the game cache and then redownload everything whenever the game updates; if I try to just update normally I get a 'game error, must restart' error on the title screen.

This has happened for a a bunch of updates so surely it is a known issue right?
>>
>>59104299
I've had that issue since May 2024, usually I clear the cache before it asks me to download the additional data whenever the game updates to avoid that

I have him at 5/5 without purposely spending a gem on him, and he's still so fucking useless. You're telling me he's still trash even after superawakening?
>>
>>59104354
The problem is that he can only hit one target unless he use his sync so for physical only stage you will need SST Red. His SA isnt that great when you look at other units that have high gauge attacks (like Dianta and Gardevoir)
>>
>>59104297
I seriously just used 3/5 SST Red, 3/5 NC Blue and Volkner for every physical Electric tower stage. My luckily I didn't have to upgrade or cake my 3/5 N.
Volkner heals self, has damage filter, another good chance to self heal, mitigate its recoil to a degree even if RNG like and he does flinch too.
Much more useful in the end, plus grid expansion made it easier to buff his attack stats.

>>59104354
I wasn't talking SA, and I have him 5/5 too.
He's just fundamentally not fit for the current meta, his SE gimmick is half assed, when left alone his set up takes time and his multipliers are low.
He's lucky that he's an Electric Type, which is stacked as fuck, but otherwise he's not doing good. He was enough to clear the Physical tower if you have NC Blue and Red 96 for me, but so is Elesa and Zebstrika which is a gen pool.
If there is one Unovan that needs a Gym Cookie when the region's turn comes around, it's that pair.
I'd even go as far to say that considering how they're repeating types, N's AS should have been with Zekrom instead of Zoroark. Shit is sad.

Not the same thing because Arceus is a mythical that you can't even use in ranked battles or VGC. It exists more as a piece of lore/worldbuilding.
In a game like Masters it's very different. There always HAS to be a more powerful unit somehow.

Honestly it would have been way easier on the composer to just do straight arrangements of the themes instead of taking motifs then going into original shit every time. The Kanto gym leader theme is stretched so thin he's taking a few notes at a time and repeating those now. That or they should have just limited arc suits to champions with actual themes. God help him if we have another fucking Kanto gym leader arc suit.

I always thought the music in this game was the most overrated part of it. The only one I can think of that's objectively better than the original is Wally's theme because Wally's was originally a dogshit 10 second loop that repeats 20 times. I was saying about the composer being stretched thin; he put that Arceus motif in Sabrina's remix TWICE.

Master Fairs raped the general pool to death. There's no actual benefit to having general pool take up 11% besides you getting more gold tickets from Olivia and making people never roll for a general pool ever again. And look at how the game has to bend over so the imaginary new player can even remotely build a roster bigger than 10 limited units a year.

>>59105828
What you do is get two pins from the store. They're 20 5star powerups each. Then, have a goal in mind of what you need. For example, let's say you want gear for Psychic types that improves attack when Psychic Terrain is on. Use feathers until get a Psychic theme. Once you do, lock it with the pin. Then keep rolling until you get a skill related to Psychic Terrain and it's in red. That means it's the max version of that skill. Once you have that, lock it with the second pin and then pray to your personal god. Then get back to rolling and hope the other two skills are read and related to Psychic Terrain.

>>59105377
I can say that like some of the Elite Four themes that play in Champion Stadium. And the original Pasio themes are at least decent.
But most of the music is just the original but faster and with that terrible percussion that sucks the personality out of every theme, and if there's any left it's because the original is that good, not because the Masters version did something right.

>>59106072
I don't use Discord but yeah. It's a relief to know there are still so many people who care about Masters but unfortunately that's not always enough to save a mobile spinoff.

For people with a brain, yeah? The problem is that the people crying about EOS don't care or enjoy anything ever and only talk positively about this game if it refers to a period 2+ years previous to the moment lol.
The bitching about the Extreme battles being annoying AF, the MF kits being pretty mid compared to some pokefairs with worse rates, the formatting of SC events being staggered for a whole month was enough to add to the fire of getting 15-16k gems per month on average

- they stopped doing new monthly UBs

and since then its only gotten worse and worse (faster powercreep, EX wzt, Kantowank...)

Those "small buffs" add up a lot, especially if you also roll+80 in your attacking stat and +30/40 in defences and +80-100 in hp.

"A lot" is an overestimation but to be fair, anon never said those 15 people are going to save this game from EOS. And I don't even know what "official" Masters Discord anon's talking about. I only know of the leddit one.
Of course even if there was an official Discord full of westerners that wouldn't matter if this game were to EOS, because the playerbase isn't big "enough".

>>59106537
Enjoy the legitimate EOS after about a year. Just like the last THREE games.

While updating Masters, I saw they're adding a single player mode in Unite, maybe offline. This means that at least before EOS, in games with a long lifespan, they won't completely kill it off, and it could remain playable forever after EOS, like a true classic.
What worries me is whether they'll include all the storylines and characters from the game as playable or just the unlocked ones, but it's a good sign.
>>59106557
Such great memories, and it's so good that it's back. That's how everything in life should be: easy, fast, fun, and with lots of rewards. Those were the best times for Masters, without a doubt!

Please go eat shit or dick. I'm actually very glad they finally started giving relevancy to Gym Leaders, and I mean those with Gym Leader tag (no, NC Cheren or Arc Blue doesn't count despite the gym leader mention).

Sabrina is actually popular in Japan, her JP VA Tanaka Rie has a lot of fans and she deserved something, I know someone or two on Reddit who is gonna whale for her. Same for Korrina, Korrina deserved an alt especially with her recent PLZA popularity, the company's goal is to capitalize on the popularity.

I like unpredictability, and they've gotten better with Brock/Misty and now the recent duo, they are also actually strong enough to justify their investment.

Arc Korrina is busted asf at 1/5, EX Fighting Zone with extension, alot of amplification with Rebuff, Circle, MUNs, even Sync accel. That's just at 1/5.

Anyways. I mostly agree that it's a bit too fast, I wish I could get her but I have to skip, and I dislike their 500 pity. But really, man? You're focusing on the wrong complaint, sperging about Sabrina getting an arc suit, please shut the fuck up holy shit, TALK about the trash banner format. Some of us LIKE that it's not the usual suspects, hell I'm a massive Red fan but I'm so happy other units are getting their turns instead of the usual 2-3 suspects. Like I said, I know someone who is going to drop 500 bucks just for Sabrina herself, you're writing off these fans like it's a fringe group.

Red gets THE BIGGEST shilling in the game by far - the autist just got 2 anni EXMFs within 6 months for no reason.
Red shilling is even bigger than overall Kanto shilling (despite Kanto having 5 arcs now) or Unova shilling
More characters cant get anni pairs because red exists and hogs them

I do not know how to convince you other than asking you to touch grass. Yeah, I admit it's a bit much, but I can put that aside because the new Red is actually more original and meaningful, it's literally to celebrate the double anniversary. I'm confident the next time there's a new Red it's gonna be in an Arc Suit. If anything it's Cynthia that gets a lot of shilling, as so does N... hell, even if not including 1% rate alts count, Marnie is the new Lillie, having 10 alts at once.

It's managing to not fall below 100 so often which is an accomplishment in itself as even anni periods get to fairly high rankings and then drop off - they are projected to accrue more revenue compared to last year. Could always be more but Japan's economy is in shitters.

That is still useful even though every new character seems to have +6 atk/spatk and +3 crit on entry/on one button

At this point we're arguing over what an anniversary unit is.
Is it a unit made for an anniversary? Or a unit that they release during an anniversary for sales?
Because Arc Suit Champions, Neo-Champion RGB, and Red joining the game were all going to happen regardless of the timing.

>I'm actually very glad they finally started giving relevancy to Gym Leaders
This is what the game was supposed to do from the very beginning, blame DeNA for turning it into a Cynthia/Red/Lillie wankfest, for the insane powercreep, and for coming up with retarded broken expensive shit like Arc Suits.

>Sabrina is actually popular in Japan, her JP VA Tanaka Rie has a lot of fans and she deserved something
There are A LOT of other characters that are actually popular in Japan and have a popular VA, both male and female, and have been given the same amount of attention as Sabrina and Korrina (who already have proper alts, Sabrina having TWO) or less. Are ALL of them deserving of an Arc Suit? Should everyone and their grandma get the most powerful type of alt so far just because they're voiced by a famous seiyuu or have lots of fanart on Pixiv?

>I like unpredictability, and they've gotten better with Brock/Misty and now the recent duo
Give me ONE reason why they can't give minor characters like Gym Leaders the spotlight and surprise players without this Arc Suit shit. Everyone was fine with costumes/seasonals/Sygna Suits being given to relatively unexpected characters before (see >>59107453).

>they are also actually strong enough to justify their investment.
>Arc Korrina is busted asf
No one is denying they'll be useful or broken, retard. Still doesn't justify shit.

>I know someone or two on Reddit who is gonna whale for her.
I didn't know a minor character having a couple of autistic waifufag fans on a website justified bullshit on this scale. In that case, every single character ever should get an Arc Suit too.

>sperging about Sabrina getting an arc suit, please shut the fuck up holy shit, TALK about the trash banner format.
We can do both at the same time, dumbass. There are several things we hate about Arc Suits and we've already discussed them, the bullshit character choices are just the cherry on top.

Pathetic. Of course you're a fucking REDditor.

I liked the years where gym leaders got random holiday alts like Christmas Viola, Summer Gardenia and Valentines Candice. Except they severely downscaled holidays and any holiday unit (singular) we do get is shill Paldea alts or characters who already have tons of alts. So that's just another thing DeNA ruined so they can shit out 20 more of the greediest laziest recycled asset flip banners each year.
>>
>>59108707
My favorites were the random special costumes. East vs West with the golden ball event, Alice in Wonderland with Lillie, twins, and QoH Sonia, and then the Sherlock Holmes/Phantom Thief with Steven and Zinnia.

Shame Dena doesn't care about any of those units. I don't think they even have an EX role.
>>
>>59108760
Zinnia and Steven need an EX role so bad. Costume Zinnia's great, imagine how much better she could be.
>>
>>59108781
I really like both Sonia and Lillie and they have definitely fallen off due to powercreep. A good EX role or superawakening would help them a lot.
>>
>>59108760
I think the idea of the first one was fine. To 'follow' a Team (Guzma or Jasmine/Diantha or Hilda) but the concept to wait for days just to unlock another path was horrible and it was the only thing you could do. The Lillie one was cool with the puzzle fights. But the Steven and Shauna one was just a seasonal event with another name, like Barry and Selene.
>>
>>59108928
So sad I wasn't playing Masters back when those two events happened
>>
>>59108928
That's true. The team alliance thing was neat. I honestly would have preferred if you couldn't do any of the story/events of the team you didn't pick. It would have been neat if DENA did a Splatfest style event and the canon ending of the event would be revealed based on which team did better. The big problem with Masters has always been the lack of community. Obviously a big part of that was the shift away from co-op which, I imagine, was too expensive to maintain compared to how many players there were spending money on gems. I actually really liked the new gym event because it actually did encourage you to cooperate and interact with your gym.

I was initially just talking about the SC alts though. Those and the Valentine's day alts that AREN'T cooking theme (so just nice fashionable outfits you'd wear on a date) are probably my favorites. Halloween has had some bangers too though.

Hell no, I hate it when content can only be accessed by some but not by others or when content goes unused/unseen
>I actually really liked the new gym event because it actually did encourage you to cooperate and interact with your gym.
I agree with this, though. It's definitely more engaging than simply doing co-op with randomly matched players. But a lot of anons here hate it, probably for equally valid reasons

I'm saying it's disingenuous in the sense that it doesn't update daily or weekly, it only update monthly. It showed February, but main problem is that the 6.5 anniversary is at end of February, so we never get much of a full picture of March sales until start of April. JP appstore ranking is more accurate, the 6.5 anni event had 2m downloads in a single month.

We are getting monthly free units and their cake one for each region based on the commercial they had in japan for anni.

So we should be getting

SS Giovanni
SS Silver
SS Wally
Cynthia
N
Lysandre
Holiday Lillie
Marnie
Arven
>>
>>59109958
Isn't SS Giovanni considered Johto?

>These are all limited Lodge characters or limited alts for Lodge characters

Did they just fucking spoil Lysandre for Lodge?
>>
>>59110088
More like they spoiled L
Then again he's also the only character featured in the commercial who's not in the lodge
>>
>>59109958
Which Holiday Lillie?
>>
>>59109958
>used cake on Giovanni not too long ago
Oh well at least that's 1/9
>>
>>59110088
God I hope this is the case. That means other villains may also have a chance
>>
>>59110106
I doubt they're ever going to add L, but it could still mean the first Z-A unit will debut around that time and Lysandre will be involved and possibly put in the Lodge because of this
>>
Diantha will be the next Arc Suit
>>
>>59110106
>L
You are going to wait 6 more months and you'll like it bro
>>
>>59110219
>6 months
They're going in reverse order, starting with Paldea. So it should be 3 months
>>
>>59110223
You aren't getting a ZA unit from this shit lol
>>
>>59110223
2 months actually, the Kalos unit should be in June which is 60 or so days away
However it doesn't confirm that they're already adding ZA units, even though I also hope they hurry up

Nevermind, I forgot Alola and/or Galar existed.

No: Arven in April, Marnie in May, Lillie in June, Lysandre in July. Lysandre is 3 months away

A ZA unit 6 more months from now would make sense, this would even be slower than SV to Nemona release.

>>59110518
Thanks, I ultimately went with SS Diantha

(Rock) solid choice. Her song key is amazing as a bonus

like what? You pull 2 FAs of their card, and then what?
I did that for the one I consider best girl yet I'm still there get me out

>>59108990
Having real consequences to choices makes those choices more significant. Having a real allegiance that gives you exclusive stuff but locks you out of other exclusive stuff is fun; one could argue that it is a foundational aspect of Pokemon. I concede that the original intent was to trade with someone who got the other version, but how many faggots are their on /vp/ RIGHT NOW who will argue about which version is better?

I'm not saying that the bulk of the game should be split decisions, but a couple of events every year in which you got some unique content and the final outcome of a story was decided based on which faction did better would be a nice change of pace.
>>
>>59110374
I started it ton try it out, and then I realized I have THINGS in that "game", and I couldn't just abandon them.

Then you reach Master rank using their ace and card, and make a shrine in the form of a display board and/or binder

>>59111031
>one could argue that it is a foundational aspect of Pokemon.
Yeah, but in mainline games that's limited to mystery gifts. Everything else is accessible without a time limit as long as you have both versions. And there's plenty of people who buy both.
>the final outcome of a story was decided based on which faction did better
I can concede this. The thing I hate the most is actually not making that content which was chosen by the community accessible to newer players (not even a version of the content without the rewards)

I guess live service games aren't my thing. I hate that this is one and also gacha on top of that
>>
>>59111354
Yes, she's pretty good. I'm not sure how good compared to more recent units but as far as I'm aware she's one of the best Grass supports.

Just a fan upset that Candice doesn't get enough screentime or units. They really hate Maylene
