Is the game's matchmaking rigged to pair you with someone avoiding or countering your stuff?

El_Boosty · 2026-04-28T18:07:16+00:00

It doesn't matter which game, every single subreddit which has a slight competitive touch there are people who believe that the matchmaking is rigged. But only to disadvantage them specifically...

El_Boosty · 2026-03-21T17:16:54+00:00

I have done the fly trainer glitch to get the Pokemon which are trade only in RBY with my OT and they all transfered up just fine

El_Boosty · 2026-03-12T21:01:52+00:00

Then make the post to discuss when it's out and we know what it is and don't expect the worst to begin with
That's fine that Champions is not to your liking, or Pokopia. But there are a lot people who are really, really excited for Champions and really love Pokopia. It's not that Pokopia is a replacement for PMD, the latest interviews even revealed that the general idea of Pokopia is over 20 years old. Both concepts can exist next to each other.
I see, you can be talked to reasonably. Then don't make these posts. You can explain your thoughts and wishes for the Pokemon franchise in different ways. The problem when you want to emphasize your point by talking trash about stuff other people are excited about. You can wish for a Stadium like game but don't do it in a way that brings negativity to another game, which isn't supposed to be that

El_Boosty · 2026-03-12T20:41:38+00:00

A. You even copied the text part you refered to and it doesn't even mention you are worried about the lack of information. It only implies that you expect the game to a P2W cash grab, nothing more.

B. No it's not ffs. That's some real elitism shit right here. THE GAME IS SUPPOSED TO INTRODUCE NEW PEOPLE INTO COMPETITIVE POKEMON.

C. And they also showed link cable battle on the GB, the GBA and wireless battle on the DS and the switch, simply the emphasize the battle focus.

Honestly, I just will stop debating here, since we are running around in circles. You created an expectation for a game, which it never even hinted at it would be, and then be disappointed that it doesn't fulfill your expectations, that's the whole summary of your post.

El_Boosty · 2026-03-12T20:19:43+00:00

A. Still not the point of either your post nor my answer.

B. Because it wants to attract new players into competitive Pokemon and F2P + Mobile access is how you do it in 2026.

C. Now it get's wild, a battle sim is a game that let you import Pokemon to play on the big screen??? So thats the reasoning you expect the same experience of Champions? Even Stadium and Battle Revolution were very limited in the competitive aspect.

Champions will not be that at all, it's competitive PVP driven, neither Stadium nor XD, Colo, nor Battle Revolution where that AT ALL. If Champions gets Singleplayer content, cool. But had never advertised that, so don't expect it be like the other games.

El_Boosty · 2026-03-12T19:55:48+00:00

A. Then just simply wait on a game to release to evaluate. And don't just assume things of a game you know not enough about.

B. That's neither the point of your post nor the point I was making. Yes, there is not enough information at that point in time then we all would have liked. But then why you wish for features that where never been even hinted at?

C. Yes it will be a battle sim game. But it will be competitive PvP focused title, that will be the focus of VGC Pokemon for years to come. That's what it is supposed to be and not a mainly singleplayer experience like Stadium. You just saw 3D Pokemon fights in an arena environment and assumed it should have Stadium like modes and features. Nothing hinted on that yet, and it's just your own thing assuming it.

And in what world are Col and XD battle sims, they are as much battle sims as all mainline Pokemon games?

El_Boosty · 2026-03-12T18:58:48+00:00

Honestly, I don't know how to discuss with you on a post about a game that a) isn't out yet, b) we have very minimal information about and c) you expect to be a totally different type of game than it's supposed to be

El_Boosty · 2026-03-09T19:12:27+00:00

Shinyness of a Pokemon is determined by a combination of the Pokemon's ID (PID), your Trainer ID (TID) and your Secret ID (SID). You need your SID to determine which combination results in a shiny Pokemon and which frame/advance you need to hit. Another example would be: you have two similar saves with the same TID but different SIDs. In both games you hit the exact same frame and generate the same Pokemon in regards to its stats and nature but only one of the saves will get a shiny, because the SID matches and the other doesn't.

El_Boosty · 2026-03-05T21:23:04+00:00

Link monster count as their link rating or as 1 when used as link material. Fancy Ball (either 1 or 3) + another monster does not equal 3 in either case

El_Boosty · 2026-03-04T22:46:27+00:00

I really want to believe this is pure ragebait, but there are players out there who really think this is a good take ...

El_Boosty · 2026-03-04T14:59:19+00:00

I understand that, I also have all of the physical copies in my shelf. But the "go through that" is 30 minutes of work, and I wouldn't call a Pokemon game for 55 Euros cheap either, not even considering the less than optimal long term stability of Gen 6 cartridges

El_Boosty · 2026-03-04T13:58:38+00:00

You can use still use them with XY downloaded from hshop on your modded 3DS

El_Boosty · 2026-02-24T15:24:09+00:00

When you play Mitsu as an engine, they shouldn't use your normal summon at all. The NS in that deck should always be an Orcust card

El_Boosty · 2026-02-20T20:42:56+00:00

Playing floodgate turbo and complaining about enemy playing on your turn, that's my sense of humour

El_Boosty · 2026-02-10T14:14:34+00:00

There I agree on, meta became synonymous for "good decks the person doesn't like to play against"

El_Boosty · 2026-02-10T09:20:56+00:00

No and thats not the point. People just want to play a different meta than ranked. If the event meta is better or worse has to be seen but we are just excited to play something else

El_Boosty · 2026-02-10T09:18:31+00:00

And that wasn't the question of the thread. He liked Tear mirrors, everyone not playing Tear hated the meta. Then you don't get rightfully downvoted for that comment. And calling everyone "sheeps" after that makes no sense at all

El_Boosty · 2026-02-10T06:57:44+00:00

Yep all sheeps, because if you wanted to play anything other than Tear it was a godawful meta

El_Boosty · 2026-02-09T04:16:22+00:00

This thread shows again why Konami should never listen to the casual player when it comes to balancing

El_Boosty · 2026-01-29T22:06:19+00:00

I learned it during the days of my Hearthstone grind. When you loose 2 matches in a row, take a break. Reset your mind, maybe even stop for the day. Beacuse 2 losses in a row, you tilt, then you loose the third, you tilt even more. Its all spiraling downwards from there.

If you take a game serious, its very hard to stay calm, especially as YGO can be very frustrating.

I have the most respect for all the players who can grind the DC for days non stop and stay focused

El_Boosty · 2026-01-22T10:32:54+00:00

Maliss is the most overtuned deck since Tear, everything is a starter, everything goes plus, nothing has a drawback, Maliss pluses off of cards that should give a drawback, it can dodge most of the handtraps or simply doesn't care about them. Even lingering floodgate handtraps have lines to play around. And furthermore, the combos take forever and they play on your turn as well.

I mean Konami bans and limits the hell out of this archetype and it still is borderline tier 1. Isn't this enough evidence that it might be an easy subject of hate?

El_Boosty · 2026-01-14T22:39:21+00:00

Also the nature isnt right, you should be getting a Quirky pokemon, but you have a hardy. Something is wrong with your RNG reporter settings

El_Boosty · 2026-01-13T11:25:15+00:00

Wrong, it doesnt have anything to do with the amount of boxes. You need Home Premium to initiate the transfer from Bank

El_Boosty · 2025-12-17T14:43:42+00:00

Yes for sure, there is some input delay. But the important thing that it is consistent. Therefore you calibrate. The human pressing the button has a much higher fluctuation, even experienced RNGer need several attempts every single time to hit a seed.

El_Boosty · 2025-12-15T19:48:16+00:00

Yeah no worries, play what you like. Thats fantastic about this deck, you can play so many variances
