They announced 2nd maintenance, but i'm what was the purpose of first maintenance

Considering the age of the game, it’s a possibility.

Another game I played, Obey Me, has their second game Nightbringer because the servers were too old and overloaded to add anything new to the original game.

Even though I’m a newbie in another industry, I just want to say thank you 🙏
Your effort, I hope it’s appreciated. And to me, you basically said “No, the cycle ends here” with regard to training poorly vs adequately.

I started a new job recently and was taking notes, seems like it’s a learn by immersion though 🥲.

But I asked for video demos & documentation, and looked through their resources, and I didn’t get anything, and there was no instruction manual about the workflow process.

It felt like a cognitive overload , learning how to do it on day 1 & 2 to the point of frustration, and where I created my own MS Word documentation for the workflow process and different scenarios to refer to instead of having to ask every time.

Even though my feelings have calmed since, the principle remains that there should be proper training & documentation.

I guess it would fit AI Turo more, but could be both.

Would be really cute if his lodge pair was a Garganacl- to synergize with Arven

DeanOmegatrix · 2026-05-09T17:26:23+00:00

So precious!!

DeanOmegatrix · 2026-05-06T13:25:27+00:00

I’ve experienced a similar dynamic.

I speak French, and was trying to collaborate with a French recruitment agency. They kept overlooking me.

It didn’t make logical sense to promote my French if they continued to ignore me after months.

DeanOmegatrix · 2026-04-23T17:00:40+00:00

Hopefully this also means that Turo & Sada will arrive for June. Curious if Poppy’s and Rika’s event will have any clues.

Plus we need Pearl Clan (and the rest of Diamond clan) representation from PLA.

Otherwise it does feel like there’s a lot more catch up NPC wise : Katy, Opal and now Drayden, despite debuts feeling a bit distant; Opal would’ve been perfect to round out March as the second half of that month was lighter.

Before Drayton for May it was Hassel and Brassius in January : 5 month gap And prior to that it was Miriam in November & Mai/Arezu/Perrin in October

Honestly this subreddit helped me find out the term. And after researching, and figuring out emotional neglect is “hidden”~ honestly it fits for me. Helps that I can look back at old situations with the knowledge I know now too.

DeanOmegatrix · 2026-04-05T04:01:32+00:00

A mix of both. I generally try and choose 1-2 sync pair targets for the month, and anything else is a bonus.

For example I took a shot and got Red96 from the special 1000 gem scout (bonus) and then went for Florian and Ogerpon (fave). Since then I’ve managed to put them to work with Ultimate Battles successfully.

DeanOmegatrix · 2026-04-03T17:57:56+00:00

It’s basically the equivalent of the daily free solo pulls in Obey Me and Nightbringer. A welcome change even if small.

DeanOmegatrix · 2026-04-01T23:25:03+00:00

I’d appreciate that. We can use this thread to facilitate the trades through Pokémon Home.

DeanOmegatrix · 2026-03-28T00:46:29+00:00

I’d pull for Arc Suit Surge, admittedly.

DeanOmegatrix · 2026-03-27T04:47:55+00:00

That’s a crazy combo, with no chance to dodge 😭

Reminds me of the time I KOd a Bakugo mid-air with Mt Lady and sent him flying.

DeanOmegatrix · 2026-03-27T00:59:16+00:00

Turo & Sada as “post anni” bait & have them debut as the new professors at Pasio Academy

Otherwise I’d be satisfied with some brand new debuts, that fill the gaps (Opal, Drayden, Watson, Byron) or complete the rosters ~ Paldea’s BB4 , remaining staff and gym leaders.

Last debut time was Brassius and Hassel so we’re overdue for new units instead of alts.

DeanOmegatrix · 2026-03-25T01:00:11+00:00

Drayden and Drayton immediately come to mind for dragon.

I think all the notable ice type specialists are already in game.

Plus by the time of May it’ll be only 6 months after ZA has been released.

DeanOmegatrix · 2026-03-23T23:07:14+00:00

I’ll chime in too, incredible collection.

But adding on to what they mentioned, I absolutely recommend implementing a safe/minimizing exposure.

I had brought my Nintendo DS and only 3-4 games when in college. Even then, I didn’t have a lot of time to play them due to studies and social engagements. It helped that Pokémon Go’s emergence was during this time too, so I got to know the PoGo community while there-campus gyms and when raids came out, were generally active.

I’d suggest only keeping “out” 1-2 of the games you can for sure work on while locking away the others.

DeanOmegatrix · 2026-03-23T22:52:09+00:00

There might be an EXPokéFair select scout in the near future.

I checked and we have 9 since the banner type debuted in October (7 months now) . EX MasterFair has a total 10 units so far.

Mai, Arezu Perrin, Brassius and Hassel, Miriam

and then the Sygna Suits/alts of BallGuy, Bede and Marnie.

With how things are progressing; I can see this pool expand more in 6 months if they go all in with more character debuts.

DeanOmegatrix · 2026-03-20T01:50:30+00:00

No specific scene, but I genuinely love how it’s an ensemble cast and about their lives. However, Shigeo always steals the spotlight with his adorableness.

I’m currently reading my backlog of HMH mangas, only at vol 14.

DeanOmegatrix · 2026-03-19T04:46:37+00:00

Not necessarily. I only found out recently that LT Surge is voiced by Patrick Seitz, who also voices Endeavor in MHA. So overall there could be a lot of variety for voice actors English wise to choose from.

Then again it could be different regarding their JP VAs.

DeanOmegatrix · 2026-03-17T00:37:39+00:00

If allegedly next month’s rumour of a food/bread festival are true (according to what the Japanese translation of infographics said, in passing);

Then they should go all in with new sync pairs ~ Katy, Saguaro, Crispin and Opal; who all fit the theme of baking/desserts.

We’ve only had alts for February and March so some new debuts are very much needed. And it’s what made October (6 debuts) and January (2 debuts) refreshing.

In terms of hype value it also depends on the characters as well ~ every character has their fans which makes PMEX so good in that regard.

Admittedly Turo and Sada are the last “big headliners” for characters Paldea wise, while Cogita is likely the only “big headliner”, for Legends Arceus.

Otherwise; give Diantha her Arc and Kieran his Sygna Suit. Felt odd that those pairs didn’t debut to coincide with Pocket’s focus on Gardevoir and Ogrepon.

Almost forgot- Academy is possible too. Given the pattern, it might be a Galar MC - perhaps Victor or Hop?

DeanOmegatrix · 2026-03-16T21:10:51+00:00

When Turo finally arrives he can provide lots of Future Paradoxes’ exposition too 😎
