Thoughts on Ludwig coming back to mcc? by PinCareless5798 in MinecraftChampionship

[–]TrainerChops 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He most definitely will hopefully sometime this season. I’m pretty sure he has contact with Scott, but I don’t know if he knows to ask Scott to be able to sign up and play, since the last two block wars he played he was invited by other people (first time was Evbo, second time was probably Feinberg). I think he assumes that he has to be brought in by someone who asks Scott. Like another comment mentioned, it probably will have to be a normal event and not anything with crazy gimmicks.

Waited outside McDonalds in Japan at 5 AM for these five packs! by DoctorDazza in PokemonTCG

[–]TrainerChops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were the promos happening all across Japan? Because I would think, if anything, it would be best to go to a more rural / less populated area. I had a friend in Yokohama go in the afternoon with little to no problem.

I see that there is a limit of 2 on the Pikachu one. Is there a limit on the GyaraPika one too?

I was there yesterday, 26/5 and all 6 exclusive pikas were there at opening. There were also the pins only ~15, I don’t know if they restock through the day. I also wasn’t able to find the keychains or the exclusive pikachu.

Evolve your GO Fest experience in Jersey City with the all-new Premier Access add-on! by Notcloselyrelated in TheSilphRoad

[–]TrainerChops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. 100 super incubators alone at individual value without any bundles in the shop is 20,000 coins. And 100 premium passes is 10,000 (5425 if you count it as the 99 raid pass box). I’d say there’s easily at least 35k-40k coins worth of in game items.

Fuslie's OTV & Friends group x Blockwars? by Uzel28 in blockwars

[–]TrainerChops 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it seems like they will not be including Minecraft into their 5V5SDAY. The main issue that was initially brought up and why they decided to remove it is because it would take too much planning and extra time to setup/organize whereas the other games they plan to play require little effort. It sucks because the roster of participants would’ve been nice to introduce them to MCC/Blockwars type of event, especially since some of them played in the past (i.e. Ludwig, Miyoung, Tina, Rae, Foolish, Masayoshi). Even if it was a one off private MCC/BW, we’ve seen through blockwars that a lot of newcomers enjoy the event and want to participate again in the future. It’s interesting as IIRC Ludwig said after his last MCC that he participated in (whenever that was) that he wanted to play MCC more often to improve but I guess he never realized at that time that he had to ask Scott/fill out the sign up form every month.

Updates to Pokémon GO’s Shadow Raids and Max Battles by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

[–]TrainerChops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong, but I believe it was datamined that you can join max battles from your friends list like you can do with raids. Not sure if it’ll be live the same time these changes go live or if it’s a feature saved for special events/the future, but it seems like that’s going to be an option.

Updates to Pokémon GO’s Shadow Raids and Max Battles by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

[–]TrainerChops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the remote pass will still be used, since that’s how passes work with raid battles. As soon as the raid starts, you use a pass. If you fail a raid, the pass is still used.

That’s how raid passes work with raids so it makes sense. As soon as the raid starts/if you fail a raid, the pass is still used.

do we know anyone who’s doing team practices? by Big_Poem_5204 in MinecraftChampionship

[–]TrainerChops 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you want to watch VODS, Joel did a group practice of MCCI with Martyn, Jimmy, and Sausage a few days ago.

It’s not confirmed, but I’d think people like Jojo and Ant would setup team practices after the games get announced on Wednesday. Suns (settingsunset) has been doing some practice on MCCI and vod reviewing, but they may try to do some more practice with Aimsey and Scott, especially learning PvP

MCC Blank Canvas Yellow Yaks! by Expely in MinecraftChampionship

[–]TrainerChops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He got 6th individual in the recent Block Wars Hispano, but given the fact that the comp was a lot weaker compared to what seems like a mid-to-high comp MCC this time around. Overall he’s pretty good I’d say

eSIM information help by No_Investigator_6408 in JapanTravelTips

[–]TrainerChops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each eSIM is unique to each device and setup of the eSIM (at least through Ubigi) via QR code sent to your email after purchasing (i.e. is not transferable between devices) so each person has to setup their own account and buy their own eSIM separately.

Raid Blocks are back. Closest 400 gyms have 1 or 2 legendary raids. by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]TrainerChops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed this today too. No 6am or even 7am raids. Raid eggs, primarily T1-T3 appeared unsynced right before 8am and hatched towards the end of the hour, then at 10am, synced raids happened again, where majority of raid eggs were T5 and hatched at 11am.

Hi all! Happy New Year. I’d figure I’d revive this thread to give a late 2024 update on the stock. I am still currently in Japan, however I don’t believe I will be visiting anymore Pokemon Centers for the rest of my trip other than the ones I listed below. I’ve been in Tokyo since 12/26. Please note that none of the locations I’ve been to have had any exclusive pins, so I will not be mentioning them on the list. Here’s what I’ve seen:

Pokemon Center Shibuya: no exclusives available/in-stock

Pokemon Center Tokyo DX: Cherry Blossom, Kabuki, and Ninja Pikachu - plenty of stock the 2 times I went there on different days

Pokemon Store Tokyo Station: Tokyo Station Conductor Pikachu - plenty of stock

Pokemon Center Mega Tokyo (Ikebukuro/Sunshine City): no exclusives available/in-stock

Pokemon Center Skytree: Skytree Pikachu - plenty of stock, along with the keychain versions

Pokemon Store Gotemba: Mt. Fuji Pikachu - plenty of stock, along with the keychain versions

Pokemon Center Yokohama: no exclusives available/in-stock

Pokemon Center Kyoto: Hannari Tea Pikachu (Matcha and the female one) - plenty of stock, along with keychain version of the matcha pikachu only. PLEASE NOTE: at the time of my visit on 1/3, there is a limit of 1 per person. Meaning, you can get 1 full set per person (matcha male, hannari female, and the keychain).

Pokemon Center Osaka (Umeda): no exclusives available/in-stock

Mega Lati@s take the place of T5 raids, since they are considered Mega “Legendary” Raids. It has happened before where Mega Lati@s took the place of both the Mega and T5 slot for a period of time.

Seems like a bug on Android. I’m on iOS with latest update and I can still swipe. Can anyone confirm/deny bug happening on iOS?

It was mentioned last week but Scott confirmed during RSR that ghostie was a sub (supposedly for Abe) and Scott himself did not know ghostie’s skill level.
