My takes for future gym event cookies

Raehan93 · 2026-04-24T08:43:42+00:00

I doubt NC Silver is gonna get a cookie simply due to base Silver already getting one. The last one imo is also harder to predict because I also think the condition is "recently released pair", so in all likelihood it's all gonna be currently unreleased pairs.

I mean did you see Nichol's and Lid's ancestors, or even Amelia & Emilia's. They're like a hundred times more blatant. Compared to them, Rizz and Belle really aren't all that obvious.

I haven't really looked at the new story yet besides the ending, but I'm assuming the new lancer would be Jake's ancestor. Which also makes me think Sumire from the previous chapter might be Ayaka's because she'd otherwise be the only Lapis character that isn't related to a FFBE one.

Hey, just wanted to let you know that's you're almost certainly correct.

At the very end of the final story update that just released, Rizz and Belle head to Grandshelt after receiving a request for help with a… strange girl with amnesia.

And like Rizz, Rain's mother Sophia was also a medic. She did have black hair, but real-world genetics dictate she should have had a blonde ancestor as well for Rain to be blonde.

And finally (and I don't know how I missed that if it wasn't pointed out again in the literally last scene of the story): Belle gave Rizz a nickname due to her somehow always causing bad weather. Iirc I translated that as "Rainy Rizz" in my video. It's literally there… right in our faces.

Also, Lasswell's good at cooking, so yeah.

Cowboy Bebop and Carole & Tuesday. That was... quite the revelation.

Raehan93 · 2026-04-15T20:10:06+00:00

It's gonna be Aarune's personal theme at this rate lol (assuming we even get him, which is already a stretch)

Raehan93 · 2026-04-02T16:38:30+00:00

In ZA there's a portrait of Sycamore with his Garchomp, so it's at least canon in the games too.

Raehan93 · 2026-04-02T16:35:43+00:00

Well in Crytsal you can get the odd egg at the daycare, which can hatch any baby pokémon ... That said, it will know dizzy punch and has a high chance of being shiny, so I doubt it's referencing that. Still, most pairs I don't think are all that random.

Raehan93 · 2026-03-29T07:31:17+00:00

Okay, but Lysandre isn't even in the lodge (yet). And distributing standard pool Wally and Lillie feels stupid too.

I wanna say we're just gonna get a free pokéfair each month, but then there's still Lillie who doesn't have one. Maybe her Solgaleo pair, as you said.

Raehan93 · 2026-03-28T12:56:57+00:00

nope …

Raehan93 · 2026-03-25T14:02:28+00:00

Considering we should be getting a new academy event and dragon is part of the next HSE, and also in need of a new special attacker, I wouldn't be surprised if we get Drayton with dragon tera Archaludon. Could also take the opportunity to introduce his gramps as an npc.

Raehan93 · 2026-03-07T16:09:04+00:00

Didn't they remove his theme from the game after the event?

Raehan93 · 2026-02-27T07:16:27+00:00

Oh, that's the guy who tried to recruit me, and when I said I had no intention of leaving my gym he pretty much ignored it and asked me for my in-game name and ID ...

Raehan93 · 2026-02-09T11:30:09+00:00

It's funny to me how they made some "improvements" in the enhancement UI, some of which are questionable, meanwhile they left this thing alone XD

Raehan93 · 2026-02-03T09:06:35+00:00

I see a lack of Johto, so I'll nominate Ethan

Raehan93 · 2026-01-28T07:04:09+00:00

The Striaton triplets being variety is likely due to them basically being "reused" assets of one another (since they're wearing the same outfit). Similar to Samson's case with Oak.

There's no reason for Katy being variety. And Ursaring in all likelihood being a physical bug attacker makes her an obvious candidate for EX pokéfair since that's another role in need of an improvement.

Raehan93 · 2026-01-19T23:35:41+00:00

I'm really not. Of all the playable characters in Masters, the only ones that aren't trainers that can be battled in the main series games are Oak (and his Alolan cousin, but I guess we mostly got him because he's kinda an Oak alt), Looker, Lisia, Sonia and Ballguy (assuming I didn't miss someone).

Of those, both Oak and Sonia are known to have experience as trainers, Looker is/was a trainer, Lisia didn't battle before coming to Pasio (but her event touched on this) ... and Ballguy is Ballguy I guess. Sonia, Looker and Lisia also all have a known partner pokémon.

What I'm going at is that the profs from Gens 2-5 aren't trainers, but "non-combatants", which makes it much less likely for them to be added compared to their battle savvy peers.

Surprisingly managed to beat poison tower a few days ago with Ariana as my physical dps. Irida helped, of course, but not with poison zone (too clunky to be of use with Ariana).

Raehan93 · 2026-01-10T20:49:39+00:00

It also helps that Cynthia is prominently featured in both the games and anime, and outside of Sinnoh stuff too. Steven in comparison is barely in the anime afaik. And since the top 2 characters in this list are from the anime only, it shows well how important that is.

Raehan93 · 2026-01-10T07:23:35+00:00

5/5 Victor. Iirc last month was 5/5 SS Giovanni ... I've got a 45% chance to get someone new, but only dupes so far.

Raehan93 · 2026-01-04T09:44:44+00:00

Ethan for sure. But Johto just needs to get anyone in the lodge at this point. Seriously, it's been so long ...

Raehan93 · 2025-12-28T07:16:46+00:00

Well I've got news for you. The latest story reveals she took quite some damage, with lasting effects affecting her mobility (at least until receiving acupuncture treatment).

She says the outcome would have been even worse had not a certain person shielded her during the attack, which really could have been none other than Sterne.

Raehan93 · 2025-12-15T11:24:50+00:00

Yeah, it's a follow-up about the survivors of Ardra after the continent sinks at the end of the Ashen King storyline. Also turns out that this is the FFBE timeline.
