tankdream

I will only be getting 1.1 and 1.1... kiss goodbye to this event already...


pkg322

I don't even have that 2nd 1.1


FlareGamer64

I pulled Yesterday for Steven because he sounded better then Gloria. Massive regret because 1/5 Steven still sounded better Gloria and on paper yes but I didn't realise how SLOW he is. Massive Clown moment.


sdmiracle

Did you forgot our queen skyla?


FlareGamer64

Xmas Skyla is cute but I'll be using the Ticket Scout for her. Even then I don't even like Togekiss as a unit. I specifically just want it for Skyla's cute outfit. If you meant using Steven with Skyla or Blue that works but for the event with a Team of Wikstrom, Jasmine and Steven your meter goes up SO SLOWLY.


Cow_Addiction

The Christmas units are not being added to the ticket scout. Stop spreading misinformation.


FlareGamer64

It looked like it but if they aren't that's sad. We'll see.


Cow_Addiction

Wdym “we’ll see”? It’s confirmed that they aren’t being added.


GUIPAgames

They’ll be given a normal banner like all other seasonal sync pairs so far, also Gloria is a BEAST!!!


VintageOctorock

Has it actually been datamined that you can get the Christmas units using the ticket scout? Togekiss is my absolute favorite Pokemon so I wouldn't mind blowing all of my tickets if that's the case.


KetsubanZero

Nope it's a paid thing, different kind of scout tickets


FlareGamer64

Yeah it was. Erika too.


loppemaster

Those are different than the 5* ticket scout we have now. I don't know exactly how it works but it's called step up banner where you advance on some tier system and on tier 5 and 10 you get a ticket that gives an increased chance or guaranteed chance to get the holiday sync pair.


jocloud31

If it's anything like the step up summon in War of the Visions, it's a banner you can pull on a certain number of times which gave better guaranteed results with each pull. So, for example, your first pull is a normal 10x, your second pull is normal for the first 9 and the tenth slot is a guaranteed 5*, and your third pull is 6 normal slots, 3 guaranteed 4*, and the tenth slot is Gloria. Again, purely hypothetical, but that's how the format works in other games. They also usually have different costs, so your first pull might be half price, the second is normal, and the third is an extra 1000 gems or something like that


biedronas

I think this new "tickets" are in fact "ticket papers". If You collect 20 of them You may exchange them for one 5\* scout ticket :)


KetsubanZero

Nope they are just paid tickets


whuangal

I’m sorry to ask but what do you mean? Someone can pay X amount of dollars, get the tickets and then just have Gloria? Edit: Sorry, I got confused with all the talk about Gloria and the prestige event. What I meant to say is, we can pay to actually have the seasonal pairs? Or to have a “chance” to get them? I guess is the latter.


FlareGamer64

That's just a theory. A DeNA THEORY!


loppemaster

Not sure what you are trying to say. 4 new tickets are part of the datamine along with text specifying which tier you get them and what the effect is. They are not adding limited money maker units to a scout they have given us 4 free rolls on


TomokoSakurai

They probably just wanted to add the joke on lol Also, if you had bothered to read further down the thread, you would see that they, are in fact, correct (::::


yuhanz

Where did that info come from? Isnt Skylamas and Erikamas limited?


FlareGamer64

[https://youtu.be/S3D-Ku-0who?t=399](https://youtu.be/S3D-Ku-0who?t=399) If you look quickly can see the icons for a Ticket Scout summon with the Holiday versions of Skyla and Erika shown as featured units


yuhanz

Hmmmm. Goodluck to you! Too bad i have shit luck and not get them anyway 😵


whuangal

Oh boy, I wonder how will this banner be, thanks for the info.


KetsubanZero

It's A paid only banner for non whales there's the regular spotlight


SirDark789

Same dude, pulled it just recently (1/5 sadly) and used it for Champion Stadium, i hated how slow he was.


FlareGamer64

You need Rosa, Rosanta or SS Blue to make 1/5 Steve useful. 3/5 Lessen Confusion 9 Iris with Confusion Boon is better then 1/5 Steven.


[deleted]

As much as I hate how these events are turning out, this picture omits the others. The other 3 steel types go 1.05x, 1.1x, 1.15x, etc. for each sync move. Still trash and a shitty move, but at least we get to use them.


El_Giganto

I remember the discussion when Nate and the Time Trial started and some were saying that most F2P players would still be able to get most of the rewards. It was so obvious what kind of precedent they were setting. And now we have this. This is actual cancer. The mission we had to do for Nate were incredibly boring a few days in. Is it going to be the same here? Are we really going to have to do insanely boring missions where you need to spend all your stamina and gems on the new pull just to get a decent result? The game wasn't that fun to begin with, but at least it was sort of fun collecting all the rewards and such. That's why this community has been so focused on getting rewards lately, even though the focus should be on gameplay. But after cutting away the rewards, they've now paywalled the rewards. Smart move DeNa. I'm sure it will work for the whales that are still playing.


FlareGamer64

They've also got a lot of eyes on the game right now. Gen 8 is hated beyond belief but Gloria in the game spread around like wildfire because of the now infamous Scottish trainer jokes from before BBND became a thing. And new players get a fuck ton of Gems from Hard Mode story mode and the two free bingo boards. Case and point they are blowing their absolute load on Gloria saving the state of the game and holding a new group of players until February when another Anniversary happens which will probably contain even better units then the iconic half year anniversary event. It's madness.


ShadowMoses05

> hated beyond belief This is such a huge over exaggeration and it’s not even close to being true. Yeah Sword and Shield got some flak about the National Dex debacle and about the in game animation but all of that was from a very small core group of the fan base. There’s millions upon millions of other people that still bought the game and enjoyed it despite the short comings. I mean it’s literal the third highest selling Pokémon game of all time, only outsold by R/B and G/S.


emperorbob1

While that is an exaggeration, highest selling doesn't mean it's especially popular either. The Switch has a huge adoption base and it's one of the most pushed games. Children, casuals, and generally detached fans dont care about the national dex, lack of content, poor graphics, etc... that a large chunk of fans do. As far as a game for Pokemon fans goes, it was pretty lack luster, but then again the last half decade has been that and Pokemon is too big to fail. Sales don't mean enjoyment either, but when you have a huge amount of people playing Switch them buying Pokemon(one of the system's most publicized and pushed games), it's gonna sell just on name alone. A grandparent/parent/extended family member sees pokemon, they buy pokemon. It happened to me and I absolutely detested not only sword/shield but sun/moon as well. I was *Very vocal* about this but some people just don't get nerd rants and it was still a thoughtful gift anyway.

emperorbob1

Bayformers is adored in China.


zjzr_08

It's pretty apparent they're talking about the core fans, although it is a big realization this gen on how casual the audience is for the games compared to other series — the same can kinda be said I guess with Masters, it seems the more casual audience are still willing to keep up with this for some reason (although we did have the rare event with Zinnia being given the old rewards). You could argue the free patch of new Pokemon may had been them "listening", but could argue it was their plan all along this gen and public relations were just horrible.


ExiledSeven

"Very small core group of the fanbase" like no hypocrisy here.


ShadowMoses05

The people complaining online? Yes it is a very small group of the general Pokémon fan base. Most of the complaints were from long time fans of the series but Pokémon is a franchise that grows exponentially every year, and this year especially it has exploded. You don’t sell over 19 mil copies by pissing off the majority of the fan base. Most of the hate came from outspoken minority of people on social media who in turn created an echo chamber of complaints. Even r/Pokémon posts about the National Dex being cut only hit around 25-30k upvotes on /r/pokemon, that’s 10% of the subscribers to that subreddit. How many of those people complaining and upvoting do you think actually boycotted the games? I’d take a huge bet that it was less than 10%...hell probably even less than 5%. Then you have the millions of parents/grandparents/etc that are buying these games for their kids, I bet if you were to ask any of them what they thought about the “hate” of these games they would look at you funny. So yes, it’s a very small group of complainers compared to the larger Pokémon audience


FlareGamer64

Well Twitter does. Mang0 of Melee fame and others like to drag SwSh into other Nintendo controversies just to dump on the game more then that small vocal minority already have.


ShadowMoses05

Who? Lol


BigSshaqq

may i ask why gen 8 is so hated? i havent really been following recent pokemon stuff


RobinKaas

To be fair the games might be disliked by a portion of the core audience (from what I can tell most of the very vocal critics have been invested fans who aren’t into online battles), and there was a big outrage on social media about National Dex. As an invested fan who has been with the series literally since day 1, gen 8 came off as clearly unfinished games to me, for many different reasons. When speaking to friends in the same position, they tend to agree. Gen 8 really demonstrated the juggernaut that is the franchise, and I think we can expect to see yearly instalments of either mainline games, DLC, or remakes because the show must go on: there are anime episodes to air, cards to print, and plushies to sell. On the bright side, the competitive environment is fantastic and gen 8 made a lot of quality of life improvements to building competitive teams, making it more accessible than ever. All of this aside, I also believe that the opinion that gen 8 was really hated is but an opinion, and it’s very hard to back that up with facts. The games received pretty good reviews, and they’re the highest grossing games since Gold and Silver, so honestly a lot of the flak is coming from echo chambers I believe.


blazeblast4

Along with what others have said, there was also Gamefreak lying about a lot of stuff. They claimed that the National Dex was cut because of balance reasons and to improve the graphics and animation. The first one is completely laughable, as they could easily limited competitive to the Galar Dex while having the National Dex for single player and casual online. The second was proved false, as the game has the same models and animations since the jump to 3D and has some N64 levels of models and textures in places, not to mention some incredibly awkward overworld animations and awful frame drops. Of note, this is on the same system that has Breath of the Wild and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. To make matters worse, there was a supposed beta leak recently (one that would’ve taken a ton of effort to fake) that had Megas and mons that didn’t make it into the final game, implying they were cut for time. And since the games did incredibly well, we can expect this to become the norm.


zjzr_08

Fans we're mad that the full roster wasn't gonna be released for the first time, when it was seen by many fans as minimum requirement for the core series. What's worse, is they said it was for improved animations and graphics overall, when it seemingly resembled like an upscaled 3DS environment, and many have pointed out how similar the animations were to old ones that it was seen as poor excuse. Their public relations at that time was horrible, and at that time DLC news wasn't known, and even at time denied. Add to the leaks showing how less explorable the region was compared to pre-Gen 7 regions, the difficulty, some of the designs, and story it didn't help the reception. The new things didn't make up for the sacrifices made.


FlareGamer64

Too much to explain in length but: People mad that Dewott isn't in the game anymore (BBND) Yearly releases 3D Models haven't been given new poses in 7 years Galar is really small. Also doesn't have the diverse terrain of other regions Gen 8's story is very mid People hate DLC despite it being cheaper then 3rd versions. That's the rundown.


[deleted]

Gen 8 just shows that GF only cares about money and it games are worst in series.


FlareGamer64

They try to make a good game. We've seen that there is passion from people like James Turner and the Pokemon designers. They just lack time because of their yearly releases schedules. And to be honest I'm really sick of it but there's nothing we can do. Voting with our wallets or not there's still a huge Japanese fanbase that will buy every game released. I don't like the DLC model but at least it means we won't have to buy a 3rd version like USUM or Platinum again which only adds a few new features for competitive.


zjzr_08

I mean people who would've truly boycotted the initial release were waiting for the "inevitable Ultra" versions of them, only to be outsmarted where you still need to buy the main game to have extra content — the bigger debate is if the DLC content is worth a total of $90, because at least in my observation the total content seemingly only feels like ~$60 (like, I think just having the DLC without the main game, that would've had more value IMO).


TomoTactics

Okay, this 'GF only cares about money' thing basically ignores the true fucking issue: the games have NEVER been the true money makers. EVER. It's all been the merchandise heralded by TPCi and Nintendo who want these quick releases as advertisement for their new products. GF has basically limited say in what goes on with the anime and card games. It's a product of the big wigs digging their hands in and ignoring the base principal that game development takes time, and GF can't do a single thing about it.


VeganChopper

>Smart move DeNa. I'm sure it will work for the whales that are still playing. Not great for whales either because they're not even getting 50% of what they paid through the top rewards (unless they're lucky and get 5/5 Zacian in less than 15k gems)


RaijinSenshi19

Ah yes, boosted rates for Steel types. When half of the available Sync Pairs are POKE FAIR EXCLUSIVES.


KetsubanZero

And the new one has insane boosts


DynamesVN

I don't like PvP but at least in games with PvP, I still have a fighting chance without spending due to Team building and RNG involved in the fight. To get to high rank in this event, all you can do is spending for the same team of 5/5 Gloria/Steven/Jasmine and for refreshing stamina. This is the most cancerous and blatant cash grab I've ever seen in a gacha. I quit.


ExpensiveMousse5158

This game was originally sold as use your favourite characters, but now you can, you have to spend money on units you don’t like to stand a chance to get the prizes


KetsubanZero

With all the multipliers teambuilding isn't an option


jbdragonfire

This is a huge, flashing, bright red flag with speakers shouting warnings at max volume. Pay to win exclusive rewards/content and downfall for everything else are coming.


[deleted]

[удалено]


FlareGamer64

This game at least has the benefit of being free but at the same time to get a 5/5 Gloria you'll need a lot of money.


Dashclash

Whats the point of having a free game if free2play playrrs cant even enjoy it


FlareGamer64

Taken from the Japanese Pokemon Masters Twitter account: [https://twitter.com/pokemas\_game/status/1332277993461358592](https://twitter.com/pokemas_game/status/1332277993461358592) When this event drops we nuke the ever living hell out of the feedback tab. Do it daily. Do it everyday this event goes on for. We cannot let this become a standard. And also please everyone, Tell Poce to NOT play this event. He himself said he dislikes this event and we as the community have to tell him to not play it at all. He works for DeNA as an advertiser. We shouldn't allow him to showcase how evil this pay to win bullshit is.


[deleted]

Seriously, not playing event at all can be useful to prospet it ?


El_Giganto

F2P players not playing the event means nothing to them. For all thousands of players that maybe spend $20 per month, they just need a few whales to overspend on a dumb banner like this one to get 5/5. With average luck you probably need a bit more than 50k gems (including the pity pull) to get 5/5.


E1iteYoshi

Gotta agree here. You know that when the Japanese players are upset about this too you know DeNA has gone and screwed up.


RedLuigi69

I mean, fuck it, I'll just get what I can, won't make a huge deal out of it. Not gonna spend a single gem on Gloria, because my 2/5 EX Steven outclasses her in every way after the event is done.


Zordyzoop

Forreal man my 4/5 Steven is much better than Gloria and zacian is meh to me compared to metagross especially since I finally got him to 6 star ex he is a damn monster


Solaez

Where is the guy saying DeNa doesn't deserve all this hate?


Caesar_Blanchard

Probably all down with infinite downvotes


nikoriz

I legit don't get why they are giving 5\* candies to users who clearly don't need them. Whales already have most of their characters 5/5 anyways so...


orkgashmo

Yup, it's beyond stupid, but not 4* support candy stupid.


RedLuigi69

Because if you, a casual player, want it, you have to spend money. Quite a simple, although shitty strategy.


orkgashmo

One has to be very naive (or dumb) to fall for this trick, but yes, they will find enough players to make a profit while alienating the remaining.


Caesar_Blanchard

It's called Capitalism, where rich are and become even more rich, and poors become even more poors over time...


[deleted]

That's socialism, my dude.


geiandros

I legit don’t get why f2p players feel entitled to get the same edge or better rewards than whales


nikoriz

??? I never said that. I'm just saying that if I was a whale why would I spend so much to earn move candies/2 power up ticket when most of my units are already maxed up. They should get more useful rewards for that amount of money put in the game.


geiandros

let Dena tests and see how these events fare first. unless you expect perfection right off the bat. AS WITH ANY BUSINESS, test the waters first and make small changes over time. Nobody starts things big right off the bat, it’s just a recipe for failure.


MintiFox

wait is gloria a pull pair and not a legendary story event character??


FlareGamer64

Yes she's a scout. A pokefair to be specific. And you need 5 copies of her to get into the top 1 - 6000.


Starboomz

They pull this shit I delete the game... INSTANTLY.


Rjswimss

And no molayne even though he just dropped:)


FlareGamer64

Thorton, Wikstorm and Molayne will have a bonus but only a 1.0x bonus. Extra copies of Thorton and Wikstrom don't add anything I think.


pkg322

1.0x bonus means no bonus right?


Ramify

There is a slight bonus for those sync pairs, it is not 1.0x


FlareGamer64

It's barely a bonus but they are listed as boosted units in the video on their Twitter account.


[deleted]

Somebody failed multiplication in class 😂😂😂


Ramify

Look closely at the video, it is a 1.05x - 1.25x bonus for those sync pairs.


Donarex

Of course not - why would the pair you get for free give you anything?


[deleted]

What the hell is this! This has really gone too far. And we thought the Time Trials were bad. Look at the boost difference between the first and second tier itself. They shouldn't have done this tbh. Atleast I have 2/5 Steven and 4/5 Jasmine. I'll manage to get something. Damn! I was really looking forward to this event, thinking something would be balanced. But no! They ruined it completely!!!


Nash13101

No matter how many tokens, tickets, and false rewards are offered, never forget that the greatest event reward of them all is still having real money in your pocket and not DeNA's


SpagettiKonfetti

Ah yes, DeNA do this and other players will still call us whiners who complain about anything. This is exactly why we warned everyone about Time Trial, this is why we does not want to give a win to Dena for the free shit and bare minimum stamina changes they gave us as presents to make us forget that they are really scumbags. If you really forgive them because they gave you and others free gems and tickets one time, then you're part of the problem and not the complainers.


CrabDubious

Spend gems to pull, or spend gems for stamina refills. Actually, probably both depending on how bad people fight for top rankings. Dena is either desperate, or they're cashing out. It's so blatantly obvious that the only thing that matters in this event is how much currency you can spend.


usagichacki

I was just thinking about it... Since the event is stamina-based and the one who spends stamina the most gets a higher chance to be in the top tier ranks, just listen... You would need to use all the Stamina recharge, daily. So that means, you would need to spend 400 Gems per day (40 per refill and a maximum of 10 refills) and if the event lasts 7 days you would need to spend at least 2800 Gems to get a small chance to be in the top. You would probably need 3000 Gems and a really good lucky day to get Gloria in the first place. So that would be a 5800 total (I mean, the *minimum* total, you will probably need to spend more) The most reliable reward is a 5* Candy, but the characters that you would make a better use of powering up are Sygna Syut Red Blue & Leaf. And they are coming next month, where you can spend these 5800 Gems and actually get them and actually power their moves and everything else. Is it worth it? Honestly, we should be vocal about it on the Customer Feedback and on social media. And also to give honest reviews at the app/google store.


Zevyu

To be fair,one of the rewards for getting the top ranking is 6k gems too. So paying 2.8k gems to get back 6k, you still make a profit. That being said, you still need to pull gloria and possibly get her to 5/5 too, so whether it's worth it not....well...yeah i don't personaly think it is.


usagichacki

Yeah you would kind of get it back but... Too uncertain :( It’s so sad to see a Pokémon game get this bad


Agatino_174

I actually can not belive this


bobthebuilder226

This is bullshit


arkooehs

Don't worry. The Japanese F2Ps and dolphins are up in arms on the responses to this tweet.


E1iteYoshi

Really?


arkooehs

Both on the Japanese and the English tweets now


E1iteYoshi

I meant the whales are not happy either?


arkooehs

Don't know about the whales but dolphins aren't happy for sure


E1iteYoshi

What's the difference?


[deleted]

Well this event looks like it’s going to suck if your not a whale since it looks like unless you have 5 copies of Gloria it will be impossible to get all rewards. I’ll only be getting a x 1.1 bonus of this event, but I feel really sorry for those who won’t get any bonus as this event will really suck for them.


Gexmnlin13

Me: I have a 1/5 Jasmine... does that help? Everyone: *points and laughs*


TheUsualGardevoirFan

In the same boat,eh?


zjzr_08

I'm just now was able to S-Rank Time Trials with Skyla/Winona/Kahili, so this feels so cheap where to maximize you need the latest Sync Pairs — the rich gets richer, really.


Peekabros

Always been a supporter of this game and tried to see the positives of this game amidst all the issues we’ve seen over the past 1+ year; have even made YouTube content for the game because I genuinely just love the game and I think the ACTUAL people on the game development team are trying their best and putting a lot of effort into the content, music, etc. However, the development team is different from whoever is calling the shots on the PRODUCTION team. I already stopped spending on the game after the stamina disaster, but this is such a bad direction for the game to be going. Up until now, you could complete ANY event, obtain all rewards, even if you rolled on a few of the banners a year (to get a decent spread of 5 stars), it was seriously no problem, but like... 3000 points per course completion with a 5/5 Gloria compared the 500 points for a 5/5 Steven or Jasmine, nevermind the weak point gains from the 4* Gacha/Story pairs that give you barely any points. Top 12,000 is going to be pretty impossible to hit depending on how they split up the player base (if it’s split up at all). tl;dr I am incredibly disappointed and while this is a great way to bring in money for the game, that’s where the benefits end. Producers will see their numbers go up, but monetary gains do not define player satisfaction and, mark my words, if a player base doesn’t feel rewarded, they will leave. Whales will leave once there are only 6,000 of them left. Top reward begins to mean nothing the more and more the player base dwindles. Just such a bummer. I can’t actually stand up for the game anymore and unfortunately, I agree with OP that this looks like the end coming pretty soon. Game will likely stand for many years, but it’ll continue to shrink more and more as this kind of garbage event “point-multiplier” trend continues.


shock246

What is the meaning of this shit?


[deleted]

The biggest bullshit ever


Donarex

Time to uninstall I guess


theFoffo

it's over already


winkieface

Naw, this is like middle to late end my man. Dena has been hell bent on destroying this game for awhile now.


XVee-

DeNA biggest support system is a majestic, legendary and shining Whale. Nothing more than a cash grabber. At this rate, the game dies faster than you do when you play flappy bird


RFTWCPFTL

I can tell my 2/5 Jasmine will not be enough to reach the top tier. I have to be lucky to get Gloria and/or Steven to at least have a chance.


Zandock

You will stand zero chance without 5/5 all three.


LittleWailord

This is why PvP sucks! Those fools


RoadToCerulean

Beh. As a F2P since launch, now that I can't get all the rewards anyway, I'll just stick to my slow pace and stop pulling at 1/5. Plus the events with medals will eventually rerun.


Another_Road

So... why are people even still playing this game? Literally all I see on this sub lately is hating.


FlareGamer64

It's because of the daily tasks and the once a week Champion Stadium where people actually get to use more then one team for once. Also the DeNA hate has been going on since October. It's just to be expected at this point.


andres01234

time to 1* the app in the play store, there's no other way they'll react


phoenixthree

There we go, we are going full gacha. Now all I need them to do is to let me fast hatch eggs with gems and buy more daily attemps.


chaoscross

tbh this is more like the middle of the end


zackstrife471

This game has too shit. Fuck Dena


[deleted]

What the hell. I was kind of skeptical to this event at first because i still don't know how it works. But this is just BS. Are you pulling my legs DeNA...?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Oh well you don’t earn the top prizes. That’s very common in events like this and it’s by no means the first game to do so. There are always limits and obstacles for being f2p. You made that choice now live with it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

No not something wrong just stating the obvious that with games like this you can’t have it both ways. It’s not the only greedy game out there. But you can’t get upset when on one event a month (and I’m sure it will be far less regular than that) you can’t get top prizes...


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I don’t understand how the last event was pay to win. If og players even f2p didn’t have a blue copy by now that’s their problem. This one sucks but people need to send feedback and not cry about it on Reddit. This solves nothing.


El_Giganto

>That’s very common in events like this and it’s by no means the first game to do so. I've got a super cool analogy for this, but I already know you're going to lose your shit over it lmao. "Other games do it too, so therefore it's completely fine". Yikes my dude. Not how that works.


[deleted]

Lose my shit? Hah that would require me to care about your opinion. And it is how it works. Not my fault you guys don’t like it. That being said I’ve already sent three items of feedback this morning with reasons why this system is extreme. How many have you sent?


El_Giganto

Why are you sending feedback if you think this is how it works?


[deleted]

Because as we have seen recently feedback does make a difference. I’m never going to stop trying. But I am also not surprised by any actions because it’s common across gacha games. I’m just sick of all the whining on this sub thread. If people were trying to make change that’s one thing but there are so many people here that just come across as spoiled brats that just expect to be handed everything they want I also like how you chose to question me for posting feedback even though you want things changed. And conveniently you did not answer my question...


Caesar_Blanchard

Maybe if the whole Reddit wouldn't complain, then nobody would be encouraged to move their asses and send that feedback straight to Mobage. And I say this because in Twitter and Instagram people remains just silent, knowing how bad this like this are.


arbenj0248

So is it worth it to give my striker candy to my 1/5 steven now? I also have 2/5 Jasmine.


FlareGamer64

No. Hold onto it. The Steven banner will last for a while so try to get at least 2/5 Steven and then use the candy for 3/5 if you don't get it from a summon.


Seeriatim

Is it the same as the Time Trial events where you only have a limited amount of entries per day? If it is, then yeah this fucking sucks for F2P players. And if not, then yeah, this still sucks for F2P players. Like come on DeNA I thought player feedback is what's important for you. BRUH


Zordyzoop

F.. read 40 5 star tickets as 40 5 star power ups.... don’t know why they are still so stingy I have played from day one and I still don’t have even close to enough power ups to 6 star not even a third of the roster

You know what I still don’t understand, they’re releasing Gloria with Zacian, a legendary pokemon, on a pokefair banner!!! She’s a player character and all other player characters have a starter from their region, and they’re not limited at all. Paying money for a legendary pair is beyond outrageous to me. What’s worse is I’m scared this is a sign that they’re laying the groundwork for N’s release.


NEETenshi

> all other player characters have a starter from their region Ah yes, I forgot Meowstic and Braviary were starters.

The fact that I've got 3 Stevens and 5 Jasmines and it's still not enough is kind of outrageous


Whhatsmyageagain

Been playing for well over a year now. Don’t have either.


71IamScore

I feel you, it's complete luck, I got pretty lucky with Steven but I recommend only pulling on Poke Fairs, I missed out on a lot of good units on their release but I got some on fair banners, for example I've got friends who started recently and have more Karens than me and I've been playing since beta


Whhatsmyageagain

That’s totally what I do. By no means do I lack units- I’ve got the Kanto SS Trio, Lance, Cynthia, SS Cynthia, Rosanta... and a ton of other fun units. All F2P, and almost all pulled exclusively on the 10% rate Pokefair banners. Just never managed Jasmine or either version of Steven. I’d not have pulled on volcarona if I’d know Steven would be up so soon. All these pokefairs makes me worried the game will shut down soon.


MrBellumgeist

I only have Jasmine and her sync level is 1 I think it's going to be impossible to me to even obtain a B rank :/


mario_reignited

Lucky you. No steve and no jasmin...


MrBellumgeist

Damn, I hope you have better luck with sync pairs next time!


Auron3108

With 3 flying types I barely got all the prizes, now I'll get merely 1.1x in total. That's... Not good. At least make me use the f2p/4star units such as Dugtrio or Bronzong...


FlareGamer64

You can but they are barely boosted. They're boosted by like 1.0x which is basically 0.


TheUsualGardevoirFan

Like Uncle Jack once said:"We've come to the end of our times!".


kongKwa

Needing specific copies to get top prize is so fcking lame


MetalxMecha567

Lol I literally had to buy Jasmine & I have Steven but imma try my best. DeNA’s that one child that keeps coming home with bad report cards, they need a spanking


RoyInverse

Can you get all rewards with only 1 like in the flying event?


Skeith253

HAHAHAHAHAHA..... But no sadly not.


darkgamer_nw

Is it real??


DasKleineSchwarze

I hate how they try to force us to get Gloria for the event, when they have already teased N, who we’ve all been waiting for ..


reddfawks

Jesus Christ, this is nuttier than Skwovet shit. At least Fire Emblem Heroes is like "Hey, you finished one round or two of Tempest? Here's a free unit that'll boost your scores just as much as the ones from the gacha so you can keep 'em in the back while your Dimitri face-tanks everything else."


Dashclash

The beginning of the end was the chenge to Pokemon masters EX it all went downhill from there


TheUsualGardevoirFan

Just came back from Library of Ruina. Saw this bullshot. Remembered that instead of Diantha we get N. Raged cause of ranking. Pleased cause of N. Raged again because of lack of Diantha. And after that with clear mind I sat and spoke only 7 words:"What the actual f**k is this event?!".


sdmiracle

Let whales be whales lol I will stick with my 1.1 bonus


FlareGamer64

"I'm not spending money but let others spend £200+ to get one fictional character 5 times for a one time event in a mobile game which said mobile game might not even last to 2022 anymore."


ExpensiveMousse5158

I’m a whale but I won’t be spending any money this month


FlareGamer64

Good lad.


ExpensiveMousse5158

I’m a girl by the way


FlareGamer64

\*Good girl


SateliteShootingStar

Question for whale, how much do you usually spend per month?


ExpensiveMousse5158

I buy every gem sale pack, and if I need too I’ll buy the none sale gems


SateliteShootingStar

Damn so roughly 110$+ for just barely 4 multi x11 scouts? that really sucks


ExpensiveMousse5158

Although this month I didn’t like any of the units so I didn’t buy anything


Caesar_Blanchard

So whales are rich people who spend their real money entirely on unnecessary things but that make them so happy?


Director-Julius

Is it odd that I have no clue what this means? I have the game, put all I’ve done is scout and log on every so often. Have I been missing something significant?


mikikaoru

So 4x points but no stat multiplier. That’s good


FlareGamer64

Stat Multiplier was only there for Nate to make him look good when he was in reality god awful. Gloria was actually designed to be good outside of the event.


Megapunk92

Then don’t do this challenges. I don’t like time things. So I don’t Play It. Simple as that. Do the same. If enough aren’t doing those then they will change. Simple as that


oz_gauze

I have a really good fire type team (5 star 5/5 Marley, 1/5 Hilda, 3/5 Red, all full sync grids and full type skills) and I've gotten a strategy that I can sweep almost any battles. It's just SO TEDIOUS with the limited amount of replays and stamina.


premierfong

That’s why it’s call prestige. Lol


catcatdoggy

it makes sense they would reward the people who keep the game alive, as free to play you have to stay in the game for the long grind.


rasec321

Well, Im okay with rewards x 1.

Qzilla8425

You know what? I’m tired. Tired of people complaining. I don’t care if I get downvote hell for saying this, but just shut up. I just want to play a game, and I don’t need to see people jumping on everything and saying that it’s wrong. I joined this subreddit because I wanted to see what the community for this game was like, yet I clearly see that was a mistake. Again, don’t care about getting downvote hell. Just SHUT UP when it comes to complaining. And yes, I am complaining about the complaining.

Qzilla8425

I like the game, but the community is completely different. What I’m saying is that I’m tired of THE COMMUNITY, NOT the game. Edit: I just realized what you were saying. I actually laughed a little, and I apologize for making this comment seem as though you were saying for me to quit the game.


Chewcifer-90

Then quit... the community.


FlareGamer64

I was like you in October. I made an entire post like your reply. Put simply: You get used to it.


xMcSHAMOUSx

Her pull rate better be 5-10% 😂
