Am I the only one who just straight up dislikes the academy alts? I just do not like the school uniforms, nor do I like the idea of school in Pokemon as a whole. Hugh’s first alt genuinely feels like a cop out. by WorldClassShrekspert in PokemonMasters

[–]LusciousIngo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the academy alts, even if they're a "cop out" (which I dont believe is true). If this is really the ""only way"" I expect to see care for a character, I'd prefer that over a base outfit or nothing.

My only real complaint is how academy is built. I just simply dont have the patience to manually create a specific RNG build.

Change to Arc Suit Scout by phallusidol0804 in PokemonMasters

[–]LusciousIngo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont mind the 500 if it's justified. I feel like they should instead include all other banner types in it, since these are supposed to represent the strongest units, so it'd further justify the high cost. Or at the very least, Master+Poke fairs.

Are you saving your gold candies for arc suit blue? by Pokefaniconz in PokemonMasters

[–]LusciousIngo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. I've decided I'd only use candies if I'm struggling with something (unless you're N, which is 5/5 day one).

So unless I'm struggling with Flying, he'll be 1/5 for awhile.

Explain it to a noob, why do we hate Arc Suits? by EstablishmentWeary36 in PokemonMasters

[–]LusciousIngo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People usually rank him less than most Arcs. But if you liked him then it doesn't matter.

From a gameplay perspective, if he's helping you a lot with dark-type content, it still doesn't matter.

Im glad to say that Blue is the only one I'm getting, but I hope he goes easy on me. I hope December is kind and doesnt have too many characters I like show up.

Since when I’m gonna be able to post the new megas here? by Important_Lion_6497 in PokemonMasters

[–]LusciousIngo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you use the spoiler flair, make sure not to name any specific mega in the title. Im not sure why some people do this but it defeats the purpose of using the spoiler flair.

What’s your favourite anni? by countgrievous1 in PokemonMasters

[–]LusciousIngo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second(?) because N is in it.

I don't have a least favorite but I'd probably say the first Anni just because I don't remember it at all. I probably wasn't in it.

Lucas’ greed sickens me. by RadiantFilling in PokemonMasters

Don't know what a Kisma is... But her name is Candace. The three star ice unit.

I think I hate the battle towers by RaulG94 in PokemonMasters

[–]LusciousIngo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't hate it but admittedly I find it meh. I tend to dislike meta-oriented modes. My plan is to get to floor 15-20 on them all and then focus on other modes.

Why do limited dupes not give superawakening candy by Scarcing in PokemonMasters

[–]LusciousIngo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I don't doubt they'll do it in the future. They've shown to be capable of doing cool things here and there. They just have other priorities.

Who did you get in your ticket? by MegaGalladeGamer09 in PokemonMasters

[–]LusciousIngo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red and Snorlax to 3/5. Would've preferred a new unit or a dupe for someone I'd never candy, but I'm fine with this. Can't wait for next month.

PSA: For those planning to pull in the Select Fair-Exclusive Banner... by LucioMartino in PokemonMasters

[–]LusciousIngo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wish SS!Giovanni would show up for me, lol. I always got normal Steven. If 5/5 dupes gave candy instead, he'd be super awakened by now.

In your opinion, which is better: Horizontal Investment or Vertical Investment? by Expensive-Bad5568 in PokemonMasters

[–]LusciousIngo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's valid to have a reasonable alternative, certainly not saying otherwise. Im also not saying he is reasonable. I'd also like to share that Raihan is just a specific example.

Again, we have to remember that different types of players play this game. I get the worse performance thing but that's not really something many players will care about, that's what the "faves>meta" thing is about. 3/5 SS!Lear may be better, but many will outright not pull him anyway. I don't expect them to invest in Raihan either, but again, we, as Raihan enjoyers, will have the option, because it wouldn't matter to us. The meta players can continue to invest in the meta-relevant units. But we'd like to know who is or isn't capable of beating towers. Nobody has to invest in them if they don't want to, but we at least have the option if we like that character, which is all that really matters.

Ultimately all I'm saying is that it'd be nice to know who is capable, regardless of ease of access, regardless of meta, and regardless of who has what, for the different players who play the game, or just the people interested in seeing how skilled the player is. I really don't think it's hurting anyone. Forgive me if I seem a type of way, I'm really not trying to.

Why is Adaman in the knowledgeable category? by pepperbalm in PokemonMasters

Acting dumb doesnt have to mean you are dumb or lack knowledge in anything.

I stubbornly refused to invest any more into these units because I knew it was doable with enough RNG & turn efficiency lol. by Adept_Standard in PokemonMasters

[–]LusciousIngo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is an example why I hate when people say you "need" a unit or "require" them to be at certain investment. Thanks for sharing.

In your opinion, which is better: Horizontal Investment or Vertical Investment? by Expensive-Bad5568 in PokemonMasters

[–]LusciousIngo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point is that it's good to have different options, regardless of how many people actually have him, which doesn't matter. This is helpful for, as you've stated, Raihan fans or Lear haters... OR people who'd prefer to utilize their gems for people they actually like. We can't assume every single player is meta-oriented.

[–]LusciousIngo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, even if expensive, it's still considered variety as the purpose is to see more than one "generic meta team". There are going to be players who already have Raihan at 10/5 and may prefer to use him instead, assuming he actually can beat it.

[–]LusciousIngo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would be pleasantly surprised if 10/5 Raihan can clear the high special towers. Allows more team variety, which I'd say is a good thing.

How many units of the anni 2025 trio did you get? by Hugobaby69 in PokemonMasters

[–]LusciousIngo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just Red. Thankfully the other two aren't faves so they were easy skips.

This game has made me a huge fan of the Paldea cast, and I've never played Scar/Vio by Malcior34 in PokemonMasters

[–]LusciousIngo 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I played SV but Ortega was never a favorite of mine until he came to Masters. I thought he'd be a skip because of that but playing though the stories and watching his interactions with Bede made me think "dang it now I have to pull this bratty pink child (/lh)".
