Why would you lie ever on the internet when X and Pixiv are free access for everyone except for North Koreans.
Urbain has more art than Taunie alone and has an active shippers base that rivals with the Galar frenzy orgy island of infinite ships. Paxton and Urbain are just a little behind the designated k-pop-bait Corbeau, but still get lot of fanart with selfinsert Harmony. You must be thinking of the black sissy boy, Canari's father, Jacinthe's dragon maid, Ivor, Mable, Ansha, Jett and her bara assistant, etc.

What ZA characters are you guys waiting for? For me I’m waiting for Naveen, Jacinthe, Lebanne, Grisham, Ivor, & the Rust Syndicate duo. Would like AZ, Emma, and L as well but feel like they’d be a ways away if they’re coming at all.

>>59495840
Yeah sorry if I don't use the site where 60% of posted fanart Is AI, cringe fetish art or "drawn by a 9 year old" quality, my bad.
1300 is still low for a rival that's shoved in your face all playthrough when a black skinned gay like Jacinthe still gets 1100 lol

Made this month's ago

>>59495850
I didn't play the DLC, but Korrina alt because Korrina even though I don't super like the design.

Canari and Taunie. I actually need a (striker) electric to get further in the tower so it wouldn't be bad. I was hoping Taunie would get m-feraligatr tho

>>59495857
I’d like her too (my favorite professor after Rowan and Kukui) but do you think she’d be given a Pokemon from her Flare days if she’s under constant surveillance? Would love to see her reaction to Lysandre boiling those Rocket grunts during the Kalos VA lol

>>59495861
You got a link brochacho?

>>59495842
even the #1 PLZA character is low-tier in overall sense

>>59495850
Of the remaining cast Lysandre, Grisham, Griselle, Jacinthe (maybe she will be fun comedy relief like Klara, her theme is nice has strong Parov Stelar electro swing vibes, want to hear the remixes). Gwynn is alright but that hat is really over the top honestly, little ridiculous for an otherwise good design and female Allistar. Corbeau and his buddy but mostly because of Skarmory, the mega is kind of meh looking but is still a Skarmory.
Ansha is cute, probably will link up with Poppy, anything is better than that annoying Sabi.
Emma is inevitable so it's a matter of time, all of these might as well come before DeNA releases Platinum Dawn and Lucas.
Legends AZ sucks gamewise but has a more overall popular cast than PLA who ended once again with 2-3 popular characters in a sea of fillers just like DPP did, Sinnoh and Kalos debut games have a lot in common in terms of characters draining all the popularity into just one or two humans.

>>59495887
>PLA who ended once again with 2-3 popular characters
Thats 2-3 more than PLZA though

>C-listers from a game I don't like
literally who?
>C-listers from a game I like
She deserves five anni units at once!!

>>59495867
Legends titles branch line was meant to not overshadow the mainline games so it is no surprise you still see Paldea everywhere instead, just like Galar and PLA. TPC/GameFreak described mainline games and remakes as vertical evolution and development and the Legends titles as horizontal one and a focus on the region, which is puzzling because Lumiose is a strictly locked one city area with a stupid wild pokemon system that supposedly was introduced few years after XY.
Anyway don't get tricked by tags, some don't even use them, others use only shipping tags or pokemon games title or generic pokemon tag. Pokemon Masters EX has three tags alone and the game special outfits are dumped or posted without the game tag sometimes so it's a rather difficult task to count the actual fanart, just like a search result can be a single image post or a 120 image gallery post but will still count as 1 result. Then comes Fantia or that one Jap private art gallery dump with optional passwords or X followers locked.

Does not matter when Kanto, Unova and Paldea get all the anni alts and seasonals in Masters.

>>59495850
Paxton, Naveen, Corbeau, Lida and maybe Jacinthe, Lebanne and Gwynn

>>59495916
Did the voices in your head not mention Cynthia?
How many anni units last year were from Kanto, Unova and Paldea and how many not?

I could see Serena or Calem, most likely Serena, getting an EX MF for anni with either Mega Delphox or Mega Greninja

>>59495932
It’s definitely going to be Greninja

>>59495936
I dunno, I think Mega Delphox could be it too
Fire does lack the new super meta *special* pair while Water has AS Misty
But it's also true that Greninja is more popular last time I checked

>>59495781
I'm in a different gym in the top 40 but good to see how spread out we are.

>>59495932
It's fancy Magearna original color or Mega time.
She encountered a hungry Magearna and bonded with her thanks to Poke Puffs or some shit.
Also it comes with Anni Jasmine or Steven followed by the other one half anni paired with Melmetal.

>>59495932
Arc Suit Shauna and Mega Chesnaught

>>59495850
I'm mainly interested in seeing how/if they address the AZ-shaped elephant in the room.

>>59495962
>It's fancy Magearna original color or Mega time.
Could be both
>half anni
No, I'm expecting her for next month actually

>>59495946
If it’s going to be Serena they’re going to use the third most popular Pokemon especially with how her current Greninja unit is getting more outdated. It’ll be a repeat of Gloria and Cinderace: not their initial starter but one they get later as it’s the most popular of the three then getting another alt with the same mon just with a new mechanic. If it ends up being Greninja it would also match Gloria having her last two alts being the same Pokemon. We just had a triple “Fire” starter anni last year. Not like she can’t get both. See May and Mega Swampert/Blaziken. I would love for it to be Mega Phox but Greninja is way more likely imo.

No man, I mean Marshall.
You still did 27+ tickets and tried using them smartly for cheers. I respect that, you're not getting kicked don't worry.
Marshall used 3 tickets (last gym they used 12) and Dex used like 12-15 with insane teamcomps while doing 12-18k with 3 tickets every time, it feels like he's barely even touching the buttons. As I said, I'll wait to kick them so they still get their rewards as it would be pretty shitty to do so despite everything.

>>59496482
I get that your account is new, we have another 6~ months account or two that still contributed decently by doing early runs and cheering, y'all don't need to worry as long as you use all tickets and try to cheer in a remotely smart way.

>that one guy who left all his tickets for the last day and ended up spending them doing 10k points per 3 to Pryce, because his steel team was shit and every other leader was already cleared for that circuit

Trevor, there are 3 Hop and 3 Barry fights in the Damage Challenge while everyone else gets 2, they had the chance to force him there but rightfully didn't go for it, he's so boring, bland, ugly and forgettable, just like his Florges kit, they didn't want to waste those slots and Arven wasn't in the game at the time I believe so you got an extra Barry and Hop fight instead.

They are both pretty so that's an instant boost, glad they did something in Alola, hope they get alts for both Alola and seasonals to advertise them a little more.

>>59497938
Also Dexio should have been Tech/Strike not another Tech/Support Elio & Espeon with a stronger Psychic but no built in terrain on sync. Maybe with Psychic debuffing Accuracy too.

>>59498179
I have these minus Leon plus a SA'd Champion Iris and Lana from the recent seasonal select.
Needless to say dragon tower is not progressing well.

>>59498187
Oh I got a lana from a recent select, but I skipped her.
>Iris
Don't really like her so I didn't pull.

I thought of pulling for Claire (suppoort drampa) a while back but I figured we would have gotten more female dragon pairs by now.

>Dragon tower
same for me, dark tower, normal (phys) and fairy (phys). I sort of regret sparking Arc Diantha

I wonder how long the tickets (for 100 pull) will last? I feel like they might not update it with the latest fair pairs, so I'm hoping they last until pool is updated next month.

>>59498206

You were never going to get a seasonal out of those tickets bro lol

>>59495781
PoMaBros ended at 17th or 18th actually. This GvG in particular was not in our favor. We had one of the more invested accounts ghost us until Sunday afternoon. Steel and Fighting in particular were annoying types to cover due to many skipping V Poppy or missing another piece for the potential teams and Special Fighting and Steel both being quite weak didn't help. The change to cheer made all the damage calcs and our expected teams invalidated, so we were scrambling till the last minute to climb but we failed to reach Top 8 sadly. Hopefully next time we'll succeed.

I don't want anyone for anni. I just want to see the tiny Torchic that follow me for years get a 6EX...

>>59498308
I don't think they'll make EX Fairs available anytime soon
About seasonal, they're typically not present in the Countdown 100 scouts but last years they gave away some "6th anni tickets" that had all the Pokefairs, Seasonals, Variety and Special Costumes in the 5* pool
So it's possible that they repeat that for the 7th anni

There are at least three Ansha R-18 doujinshi being released this Comiket. When are we getting her in Masters?

>>59498401
That's less than Lana, and Lana got 2 alts in 7 years, so I doubt she'll get much at all

>>59498376

>>59498290

>>59498333

>SS Morty

>>59498467
That's crazy to think about. If they had dipped even a little bit into real fanservice, there'd be much more Lana. Hell, especially just anime popularity should have gotten her more. But they are so adverse to what gachas are that they legitimately avoided her.

Fuck this absolute cancer mode gauntlet, the players who did long streaks and quit trying to make more of those were right, you want to give it a deeper investment and start playing it in a good mood, a hour or less has passes and your mood has drastically changed into a more aggressive behavior, swearing, wanting to throw punches, violent thoughts, uncontrolled anger.
Most timewasting shit mode and rng soft reset garbage mode since its debut, the rewards are random and are barely worth the time invested to "farm" them, the mental health gets damaged, absolute shit show, fuck this. The dev who still pushes it should be kyoanime'd. This is opposite of fun and enjoyment, it's like shiny egg hunting tier of fun, like a Pokewood forced tutorial in BW2, like the average Johto cave walkthrough, like watching Blissey fainting from a OHKO in Gen 4, like having a stall vs stall 500 turns battle on Smogon, like having the same thread and argument on /vp/ over and over again every single day, like trying to level up in-gane a slow exp growth Illumise shitmon...fuck off!

lol, roxiekeks still trying to make her look relevant after 3/5 ss carmine made her 10/5 investment irrelevant

>>59495734
Oops…

>>59498535
I tried last time (easiest set of legendaries Ive seen) and got a bunch of solos done. But the RNG and the time and grind was awful. I would have to sink so so many hours into it to make it and a week was not enough. I have enough pairs (almost 400 without counting eggmons) that I could have done it. But... it's not worth my soul.

Also never ever try 100 on a Moltres gauntlet. Fuck Moltres.

>>59498558
>Carminecuck
>still seething
lmao

SS Morty sucks ass and is generally useless nowadays (at least since Arc Silver)
Meanwhile SS roxie and SS2 Elesa are probably both in the ~top 3 best gym leader pairs, excluding arcs

>>59498572
I did Moltres 100 once, it wasn't worth in the end, as long as they make "free" trios like Latios, Tapu Bulu, Raikou, Cobalion, Latias, you can solo and duo, then they decide to combine Terrakion, Moltres, Cresselia, Tornadus and you don't even want to go past 10 nowadays.
Even casually dropping 200 runs with a carefree streak of solos and duos in less than a week requires a lot of time to first find in your life schedule and then waste it on team changing, laggy crashing teambuilder the further you go, spending 10 minutes on first or until second bar just tonget fucked in one turn fue to rng on second or third hp bar, resetting for moltres burns and flinches, the fucking leer opening, tornadus toxic, cresselia status, cobalion poison jab, planning syncs and fuck up because you synched on 51% hp too early or too late on 49% hp, changing skill gear and lucky cookies to get immunities everytime or defense crush 2 and worse mind games 2 from limited single deluxe cookie because they can't update the base one with mirror special passives, all of that done multiple times every rotation, even thoso who try to maximize their runs with the least ammount of pairs used go through it

>>59498577
SS Roxie is the only pair that makes me wish I could save more than 4 grids. Extremely versatile

Carmine got more alts in a year than Roxie ever did lol. She even got to be the app icon twice

>>59498577
Carmine won and claimed Irida and Geeta as her concubines.

>>59498609
>Geeta

I knew she was going to be the Poison Arc and they still made her disappointing

>>59498608
Technically 3 if you count Pecharunt

Someone in my gym asked if the people that didn't show up until day 4 could make an appearance and participate with figuring out who would do what. They went on to say they were busy with life and couldn't do that. The next two days they spent talking about pogo all day in the gym discord.

>>59498748
Everyone joke on discord gyms and you still joined one

>>59498755
Being clowned on by your fellow clown means nothing

>>59498535
I always do 10 then stop

>>59498930
As F2P, I always get at least 20 to get those free gold ticket >> 5 star power up items

>>59498941
I am way too lazy to do some solo for anything higher than 10 wins (let alone the 100 win title)
It's okay when it's shit like Xerneas vs Tapu Bulu but I don't ever want to have to spend a week on Tina vs Lati@s for one title

We are really moving from Paldea shilling to ZA shilling before we even got Meowscarada or Ceruledge

>>59499298
Quaquaval and Armarouge were the real shillmons

>>59498608
Friendly reminder that Roxie was one of the only females to have a male chosen over her as the app icon

Super awakening :)

That's what I was assuming until I saw it said missions so it's about earning something.

None of the freebies have ever been a masterfair so it's probably that.

So Mega evolutions for Anniversary.

>>59499724
I mean they could make this more “comfortable” by making the first one free

>>59499772
That'd require making yet another MF free, which would require giving out said MF...which they aren't entirely shy about doing lately.

kinda sad the surprise will be ruined by the next datamine

>>59499812
If it’s like the 2nd anni units it’d be a nothingburger. I don’t see what else would warrant highlighting a first in the game’s history.

>Anni Iono/Mega Raichu Y
>Anni Lillie/Mega Magearna
>Anni N/Mega Absol Z
>Emma (ZA)/Mega Malamar
>Canari/Mega Elektross

>>59499828
Hopefully they have the sense to delay the update until after the official reveal on the 26th

>>59495850
I'm more interested in what trainer they'll give the random megas that dont have any attached to them, like Froslass, Tatsugiri or Victreebel.
Hope they drop the other duo of protag/rival with Emboar and Manectric too.

They really just copypasted the number covered slots without adapting it

>>59500167
The 3 dots on the end are probably the name of a character, but there's a boatload of "relevant" characters who have a 3-katakana long name
I doubt that it's from ZA though. Probably tied to the Arceus Arc

>>59500170
>here's a boatload of "relevant" characters who have a 3-katakana long name
シロナ!

>>59495850
Zach the Driver!
He gets the most broken kit ever, but his level is hard locked to 15.

>>59500172
Also Volo, Giovanni, Cyrus, most player characters including Dawn, Lucas and Akari (but not Rei), etc.

>>59500200
Do you really see any of them with headliner potential to sell things?

>>59500211
Dawn? the top 1-2 most popular feMC?
and Volo was effectively an anni pair last year

>>59500211
Anon, I was talking about a free pair in the after anni.

So I assume the genderswap za protag/rival will be shown off at worlds in 2 weeks? Though after emboar I don't know what you'd give the other character? Floette both works and also doesn't work at all.

>>59500225
Paxton and Mega Zygarde
Taunie and Mega Floette

>>59500227
>>59500225
Anyway I expect them to be a bit later, likely around November

>>59500232
Last year it was carmine and kieran so I just assumed they're doing it again. Though there carmine was datamined and then kieran was in the worlds trailer, with a couple days worth of shit posts about kieran not being allowed in masters inbetween.

the only Paldea pair thats a mega so far was NY Poppy with Mega Steelix
so yeah, I doubt any Paldea character will get an anni Mega

probably at least 1 PLZA/Kalos + others

>>59500258
Cynthia obviously

>>59500281
Which one?

>>59500286
SSRC the spooky one

>>59500287
They could even weave it into the Arceus arc.
Cynthia gets Tina back and their bond is stronger than ever, unlocking the new feature: Maser Awakening (So you can not use your SA candy)

Nice score from dailies, she's the one I needed the least but wanted the most somehow

>>59499812
People paid real money for master fairs just a few days ago, I doubt they're giving any of those away that would piss off too many people. Maybe the ones that were excluded from the banner like Elio

>>59500438
Right because pissing people off is something they care to avoid. The packs were also cheap.

>>59500438
Forgot there's also sprint and field MF that were not for sale and there's more to choose from these, could be Lear I guess

Do anniversary units release end of August or are they coming out in September?
The dev letter talks about the next announcement (mid August) sharing details of units in the leadup to the anniversary, does that mean they aren't the 'real' anniversary units?

Also holy fuck put out new Tower cookies already.

>>59500915
oh sorry I'm retarded and didn't look up in the thread.
Will there be a datamine before the official announcement on the 26th? I need to know if I should roll for Diantha and the banner ends on the 25th.

>>59500915
End of August (the 28th) is when the first unit drops then 2 days between the next two

>>59500920
Datamine is most likely on the 26th yeah.
They usually update 2 days prior to event drop (which is gonna be the 28th), so you 99.99% won't be able to check anni content before she leaves

>>59500920
Yes.

>>59500920
No, they leave before datamine
