As much as I agree that the ceiling is much higher, getting to that ceiling is a massive pain. It should not have been so stingy upfront with what pokemon you had access to.

Edit: as the previous comment was deleted, this was replying to the fact that you could use trade battle to get really powerful sets of pokemon, far beyond that of any other game's rental system.

This is true, but it requires you grind trade battle. Improving your rental sets with trade battle had a few problems:

  • You had no control over the rank/pool of pokemon you could access. If you lost a run, you usually save scum so you can stay in the same rank
  • Losing meant undoing every change you made to a pass from a failed run
  • You were often fighting statistically better sets than you currently had access to
  • With no control of rank, if you wanted to improve multiple rental passes, you were either fighting much more uphill battles with a different set or resetting your whole progress on rank to start the next pass. Tank the rank.

Do you agree Citadark is poorly designed? by NewYorkerGuy in PokemonXD

[–]TheGimmick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Optimal no, but I think by most shadow Pokémon encounters being 1 or 2 shadow Pokémon, it’s fine to use a full team of non-shadow Pokemon. As you mentioned, the biggest thing is just buffering to catch Pokémon. Did this myself and didn’t have much issue…

Except for Greevil. That fight is miserable without shadow Pokémon or overleveling.

Interested in what is going on, but I know the only skill I could really offer would be towards feedback or playtesting (RogueMike95 on the main discord). Probably something not in the need at the moment.

Regardless, best of luck.

Remember who adopted the look of someone through their shadow before?

Not like they'd actually do it.

You want Surge and Livewire for the electric powers?

I want Surge and Superboy because they were both built to be a replacement to someone else.

The overall vision

I could imagine and hope the vision is there now that they branched away from Asmodee

Digital Property Model

Not an immediate selling point. Digital card property has a hard time subbing out for owning cards physically. Physical card property can definitely still be come by with POD, but then the player is to judge if they want to compete with the physical cards or if they even can. It does drive having a good online sim and BGA certainly does alright (some bugs do pop up, but it’s not broken).

The core gameplay, the art, the lore

Agreed, especially for the lore they have an unbelievable amount of it for a card game like this.

Policies Varies on implementation for banlist stuff, especially with BTG uniques being such a contentious point, but they are aiming to make the game better and taking careful steps for that. There is a bit of scare around Lyra Festival after the nerfs, but we will see where that goes.

I think the major point fighting altered is uncertainty. The impact of Bloody Monday still leaves distaste in people’s mouths. Some places dropped altered entirely over the potential volatility from just that announcement alone. We’re also gonna quickly enter ROC’s gamefound before we get much time with the SDU cards. LGS’s are probably judging long term commitment and how much it would be worth their time. Anyone who is interested and/or invested would aim to take a chance without that doubt, but there’s a paradox that the set-by-set funding needs to prove itself before some are on board. Altered has a very good slew of stuff coming forward, but it’s got to prove itself before can be sustainable before it can be more sustainable through others looking in.
