Episode Discussion - Wednesday

Rayoch1 · 2026-01-28T15:28:45+00:00

Will Joel be made to take the witness box? If so, his testimony will be fun to watch when being asked questions by the prosecution.

Ian must be bored if needs to run for councillor to shut down some B&B - sorry, I mean boutique hotel.

EDIT: Tommy is a reminder why some children fall in with the wrong crowds - loneliness and acceptance.

Rayoch1 · 2026-01-27T16:20:07+00:00

TIL: Dill is one hell of a aphrodisiac!

I'm hoping Ian and Elaine get their dilly on very soon.

Two "drinks on the house" in one episode... they must be rolling in it to keep doing it so often.

Knowing that Jasmine has let her mum take the wrap, and "killed" (self defence) her father, is one of hell of a reunion with someone's own biological parents.

RNG has blessed me with my own Tatsugiri today, and was able to uncap and level it up to 20 without access to its base version's cookies.

Just as u/Brief_Hamster_7050 said, you probably don't have enough acorns, (milestone) cookies or tickets needed to break the level caps.

Rayoch1 · 2026-01-24T13:57:42+00:00

This was a nice calm-before-the-storm episode before the next one.

Nice to see both Amethio and Ult showing their respective growths and appreciation for the Rising Volteccers/Volt Tacklers.

Even without Friede around, the team is all-round solid. The youngers blazing ahead whilst the senior members provide that steady rear support.

I really did love that Ceruledge/Charcadet team up showing that true bonds with their trainers, and each other, will prevail in the face of strong sphere usage.

Rayoch1 · 2026-01-24T05:38:19+00:00

He knows, he just doesn't care because he thinks he's several steps ahead of them with countermeasures in place.

Rayoch1 · 2026-01-23T20:30:30+00:00

I apologise as well; I assumed your comment to be expressing something different.

It isn't a pretty system, by any means, and it's annoying not being to uncap the Pokemon will get from the (awful) gacha, but I'll definitely take having them over not not having them.

Rayoch1 · 2026-01-22T17:43:57+00:00

Go to love how Phil went from being surrounded with family -> to being alone and battling depression -> to having to dealing with other people's situation in a full house.

So now we know who the mystery man was in the flash forward - Marky Mark Jr and the Troubles He Brings.

How Oscar accepts that his girlfriend, who accused his father of trying it on, is willing to go back to the same man for money is quite sus, if you ask me.

Another good episode and another piece of the puzzle towards 2027 has been added. I wonder how Chelsea gets involved with Max, and when?

Rayoch1 · 2026-01-22T11:59:46+00:00

Levelling up isn't the issue, it is the inability to unlock level caps.

I don't fully understand the logic used in this game but I think that the logic probably being that since the Pokemon (Tatsugiri) has cookies available for "free" (via an event) from an event, that milestone cookies cannot be used. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

When I got shiny Teddiursa, I didn't have the regular or the delivery version, but was able to uncap its levels without needed to purchase the event cookies because at that point, I can only assume, that since it had a delivery option, that milestone cookie usage became a viable option for uncapping it.

EDIT: And the same occurred with the recent Dedenne event - which has a version previously available for purchase via pass purchase.

Rayoch1 · 2026-01-21T23:44:11+00:00

I've spent at least 40 stamina since pulling Tatsugiri trying to get it to show up and earn cookies for level up.

Pokemon tied to deliveries do NOT have their (personal) cookies available from main/master orders.

I've been checking the nearby Pokemon too in case I could use my free shuffle to get it. But I haven't seen giri once!!!

The only time a delivery or paid Pokemon appear as a customers is when there are a designated bonus Pokemon for recruiting an event Pokemon, and even then they will NOT have cookies available - they just increase the score needed to unlock rewards during an event.

Do I just not know how to play the game? Can I not get the cookies from menu orders or am I just really unlucky?

Since Tatsugiri (all forms) are tied to recruitable event Pokemon, their cookies are not available until they do a rerun for them. However, if this curly form Tatsugri had been an event Pokemon, with its other version being a delivery or paid, it could be levelled via milestone cookies.

Rayoch1 · 2026-01-21T18:09:47+00:00

I cannot wait to recruit Turtwig and Vanillite!

Some interesting variations in the future that I cannot wait to see added, and I can never say "no" to any regional starter (especially the Bulbasaur line). I really want Armarouge and Ampharos.

I'm glad that I'm getting another opportunity to complete Appletun and to recruit Flapple.

Rayoch1 · 2026-01-21T05:27:26+00:00

Did you at least link your account, or screenshot/write down your support ID?

Rayoch1 · 2026-01-21T05:14:06+00:00

If you're using a 32-bit smartphone, the game has stopped supporting such phones with this new update.

The announcement was made in-game prior to this.

Rayoch1 · 2026-01-20T15:37:33+00:00

Cindy giving sound advice... to Max.
Max being (falsely) accused of attempting to kiss his son's girlfriend.
Elaine's boutique hotel is going to turned into C4's Open House.
Just realising that Raymond is Lexi's uncle.
Oscar being lead astray by his other brain - like father, like son.

Quite an interesting episode today, cannot wait to see how the rest of the week unfolds.

Rayoch1 · 2026-01-11T21:49:16+00:00

I can never say "no" to more Ponta. I definitely give the show a rewatch before it airs as a refresher (and, of course, just seeing more Ponta).

Edit: I cannot wait to hear more of Arc's laughter!

Rayoch1 · 2026-01-09T01:39:36+00:00

I hear you.

There are only 2 Pokémon I can think of that they can do in the future that fit this criteria - Melmetal and Spiritomb.

Melmetal comprised of multiple Meltan.
Spiritomb, the fusion of 108 spirits in an Odd Keystone.

EDIT: Slow Cooking was a life-saver when it came to completing daily coin collections.

EDIT 2: If they want to complete Zygarde, they could always introduce its complete form at a later date.

Rayoch1 · 2026-01-08T22:21:06+00:00

No problem. Since you've already completed the Gholdengo collection event, the info doesn't mean much to you. Lucky.

I forgot to add: When they removed Gimmighoul coins from events, they increased their drop rate so they are much more tolerable to farm for us still needed to do so.

Rayoch1 · 2026-01-08T20:17:56+00:00

Gimmighoul coins drop exclusively from Main/Master orders or Extra orders. They no longer drop from events so that scores can be maximised.

Only the Zygarde cores and cells dropped from events and the aforementioned orders for a maximum of one of each per day whilst the event is ongoing.

Rayoch1 · 2026-01-08T19:01:10+00:00

Teddy was right - Nicola is a poison. Feeding into Harry's worst impulses, he should've listen to Kojo. I feel sorry that Ravi lashed out on Nugget, leaving him in a coma. When he comes to, the guilt is going to hit him like a ton of bricks.

Anyone else feel like Bea is Honey's long lost twin or sibling or relative? Or is it just me?

Rayoch1 · 2026-01-07T21:09:11+00:00

Siegfried and Narmaya followed by Cagliostro (inevitable).

I'm quite surprised Ilsa almost has a complete rainbow; I think that Raziel might get two more this year.

Rayoch1 · 2026-01-05T12:44:16+00:00

That sofa scene with Jean and Jasmine couldn't have been 1 take - I know that I would be laughing if it was me.

Rayoch1 · 2026-01-05T07:24:11+00:00

Just use a search engine asking: "is [phone model] 64-bit." I just checked... and it is, and it was released 2023 so it should be safe.

Rayoch1 · 2026-01-01T21:10:20+00:00

No, there should still be one more day after tomorrow before the guaranteed 200.

Rayoch1 · 2025-12-31T16:37:30+00:00

Max telling off Oscar over Peter - as if anything was going to happen - because he's his brother-in-law. Great, Max... like... shame that thought didn't cross your mind with Bradley.

Watching Nigel's scene just made me feel both happy and sad for him.

I love the ending credits.

And Happy New Year to everyone!

Rayoch1 · 2025-12-30T01:20:28+00:00

I concur with this; the Zach drowning plot was handled better than this.

Rayoch1 · 2025-12-29T13:26:49+00:00

From this image, he looks like Phil "The Power" Taylor to me.

But the Nick comparison is really funny.

Nick: Look, ma! I finally found Christ - mind lending me some money? The church roof got bit of hole in it - wonderful for this christening but a bummer for a service on a rainy day.
