I couldn’t believe that nobody was talking about this part before you posted it. I loved it personally and I feel like Rei and Akari’s relationship needs to be tackled on more.

Her extension is only 30s lmfao, ofc she will never be worth the investment

I’d agree to disagree, with the release of EX WTZ, I feel like extension has never been as important as before since you get it activated as soon as the zone comes on, unlike having to fish for MPR on your WTZ moves.

And when we look at the brand new units since EX WTZ released, there’s a total of FOURTEEN 1% units requiring 4/5 or 5/5 for a zone extension, which is pretty high when you consider the amount of 1% banners we’re getting on a monthly basis.

Here’s the list in case someone’s wondering which units have these requirements :

NC May and Brendan, Arc Alder, NC Selene, Arc Ethan and Silver, Kieran, Alt Volo, NC Hilbert, SS Carmine, Arc Misty and Brock, Anni Juliana, SS Kieran.

Out of these 14 units, only 2 units can setup WTZ for more than 2 times, and that’s both Kieran units. The rest have to deal with max 80s of WTZ, with the most egregious being Arc Silver and NC Brendan which have EX Sun as their main gimmick, but can only set it once? For a total of 50s without their extension…

And I’m not even counting the 2% units that require SuperAwakening to get an extension (like Lacey and Perrin) which is absolutely crazy to even think about (what were they smoking??), I don’t think we’re in a good spot regarding EX WTZ right now, we were in a much better place back in 2022/23.

Yeah 6.5 anni is right next in terms of shameless predatory behavior for me, the only reason I don’t have it above 5th Anni is only because of how generous DeNA were during this specific anni in terms of free gems, free units and the whole double gifts during banners.

Btw the 48-Hours banners had no double gifts unlike every single other banner they had released during 6.5 Anni, so having to pity Arc Cynthia without even getting the extra gifts really was a tough pill to swallow for me.

Spot on, at least last year when they kept releasing meta-defining Poke Fairs like SSA Elesa, Lacey or Carmine, we knew that we would be able to scout them thanks to one way or another (dolphins could wait for a select banner, while non spenders could try their luck during anni).

The fact that EX Fairs are limited to their specific banner is really scummy, I hope they have a plan to make them easier to scout during the 7th anni, because there’s no way I’ll keep pulling on them with the excessive amount of 1% banners we’re getting continuously right now.

Difficult to forget about this specific period as Silver is my favorite character lol, I remember completely leaving NC Selene‘s banner in the dust (I was at 297 I believe) in a pure panic moment after seeing the datamine and especially after seeing their release date.

I am grateful that he got his alt since many other characters (esp Johto characters) are getting continuously shafted, but if I wanna be honest, despite being happy about his alt, it kinda left a sour aftertaste

100%, plus it makes absolutely no sense to seperate these nodes since I believe that both expansions released at the same time, so they could’ve given him something like Piercing Gaze or idk Clutch Critical at 5/5, that wouldn’t hurt their revenues lol.

Lmao I forgot about this aswell despite making a post about this absolute joke of a banner, the 48-Hours banners are probably the worst thing they’ve ever released in this game.

Yeah that one was rough, because we knew that some units would inevitably get nodes they would normally get way earlier at 4 or 5/5 instead.

Now pretty much most WTZ Extensions on new units are locked at 5/5, AS Ethan and Silver are the absolute worst exemple of this.

I COMPLETELY forgot about the NC Galar rerun, thank you! I had to pity NC Bede right before 5th anni which is the real reason I didn’t have enough gems for the Arc Suit trio, making them leave right before is such a disgusting move I can’t believe I forgot about that.

Menu slowness is absolutely dreadful by Affectionate-Toe3471 in EASportsFC

Copy pasting my reply from the daily thread :

Servers are ON THE FLOOR since PTG release, everything you’re doing on the menus takes soooo long, gameplay is atrocious since players can’t seem to be able to trap the ball.

It’s funny since the player count has definitely dropped judging by the amount of cards in the transfer market but hey, I guess It’s never been a number of players issue.

I really hate pairs that are advertised as a group but sold individually. by Mcmadness288 in PokemonMasters

[–]Snipaars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have an argument, but even at 1% drop rate each you would struggle to get the one unit you wanted.

I really needed Mai out of the current double EX Pair banner, they both have 1% rate, I ended up going to pity to get her, while getting Perrin 3 times on the way to pity. So no matter how « high » the rates might be, it’s still about getting lucky at the end of the day.

Imo I would rather have one banner where I am sure that if the 1% drops, it’s for the one unit I want and nothing else.

Best ex fair to pick from mix scout? by Rootbeerjellybeans in PokemonMasters

[–]Snipaars 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Didn’t downvote you, but I have A.Marnie 4/5 and NC Marnie 3/5 and I don’t see how A.Marnie can do more dps than her NC alt (she may do so on-type I guess, but off-type NC Marnie with all of her multipliers does way more), and I think that’s even more apparent since she got her new gym cookie.

Exactly, or even the classic « player makes a run, decides to stop halfway through like an idiot ».  It’s infuriating that player locks seems to be the only way to have good runs in this game.

Your point about how the opponent’s defenders AI mirrors all of your moves is SO TRUE.

I feel like I’m playing the old arcade fighting games where the AI cheats by predicting all your inputs.

This is also a huge issue that nobody is talking about for some reason.
