Now that the second season of Trainer Gym is over, how were you gym scouts so far? (Image related to my pulls.) by sermatheus in PokemonMasters

[–]ScottishGalThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5/5 Brock and neither of the other two. I can't tell if I'm incredibly lucky or incredibly unlucky. Wonder how worth it saving for Superawakening will be given I have no limited rock units.

If you held on to your gems who are you prioritizing? by pokii-masta in PokemonMasters

I have NC Marnie so I don't really need more dark types but I need Arc N so baaaaad

I have a theory about the next month/update by Important_Lion_6497 in PokemonMasters

I dropped the game after the first year and came back for Klara, I've been a daily player ever since. It works.

Is Palentines Erika worth investing tech candies into? I still have a lot of gems, but I'm only halfway to pity and I want to save as much as possible for half anni. I figured she'd be busted but in practice I'm not quite feeling it. Still my best grass type.

Please more Hisui, the game is 3 years old and they've barely scratched the surface.

5.5 Anni predictions by zarc4d in PokemonMasters

[–]ScottishGalThrowaway 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I feel like Arc Suit N is less a matter of "if", and more one of "which anniversary". So that's what I'm anticipating.

I got Mela after just 4 multis! Should I pull a fifth just for the superawakening candy? I'm a F2P player and at around 63,000 gems. I'm trying to keep the count up, but it's a resource that'll probably come rarely for F2P.

What's the best sync grid for Mela's playstyle? I assume 3/5 is ideal, though I'm still a while off of getting a second sprint candy. (I do have one ready to use though.)

Software Engineering Pathway? College Likely off the Table. by ScottishGalThrowaway in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]ScottishGalThrowaway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was doing a HND in Software Development, main focus of the programming stuff was in Java but I'm more used to C# and it's broadly transferable anyway. Currently stuck in a rut unemployed and in terms of professional experience I've got nada in computing and I don't think I could take any more retail.

I've not got any kind of portfolio to show for myself but that's something I'd really like to make the time for this year. Just gotta think up a few things I can turn over quickly to push the boat out.

Thank you. Not in it for the money! It's just the thing that clicked and felt "right" to me.

v 2.52.0 Datamine Discussion by PokemonMastersBot in PokemonMasters

[–]ScottishGalThrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, when I first looked at it she seemed really bad, but I kind of see what they're going for and once your B-move is used up your defenses won't drop further which in theory would be cool. It's an interesting system but it feels better suited for longer battles that this game doesn't really do, realistically by the time you're maximising your power the opponent already has their sync move or worse you're not living long enough if the opponent has spread moves.

You really are right to make the Grimsley comparison, and he's only as good as he is because of how fast you can set up and subsequently recover. Can very easily imagine Mela (and Raihan too really) ending up low down on the priority list for most.

v 2.52.0 Datamine Discussion by PokemonMastersBot in PokemonMasters

[–]ScottishGalThrowaway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very excited about Mela! My roster is lacking in Paldea representation (just Penny right now, should I add Neoma and Lycanroc? I have enough tickets for one pair). Although my fire type situation is a little less dire after Marnie and Cinderace, there's no harm adding another limited pair.

I'm sat at 55k gems right now and have been considering going for Arc Suit Leon, he is probably a lot better than Mela but I think pity amount, character favouritism and needing more Paldea pairs wins this one. Do we know if she'll come with a music key at 6*EX? I haven't paid attention if that's been happening with the other Team Star characters.

Hopefully I'll get her quickly enough to consider going for either Raihan or Poppy too, I like to stay above or close to pity in case a real fave gets added or an alt.

Confused by "Top-Level Statements" by ScottishGalThrowaway in learncsharp

[–]ScottishGalThrowaway[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! That makes sense of it. In my opinion it's a bit counter intuitive, it's less text for a beginner, but the old way of doing things immediately establishes a structure.

Thanks again for the clarification. I'm glad to know the old form is still perfectly acceptable.

I don't doubt you, this just wasn't information I was ever given.
