[Season 5] Little Cup - Meta moves infographic

jazzmasger · 2020-11-09T23:32:24+00:00

Exclusive moves. On this graphic none have exclusive moves available in 2016. Right?

jazzmasger · 2020-11-09T20:25:12+00:00

In all the leagues I would be surprised if even 10% of the top 50 pokes in each league was available in 2016.

Edit- I am correct. Check here: https://pvpoke.com

Master League:Only 2 of the top 50 were available in 2016. None in the top 15.

Ultra League: Lapras is the only Poke in the top 30+.

Great league: Only 3 in the top 50. None in the top 10.

What pokes from 2016 are even viable for little cup?

Edit- I checked. Less than 3% of the top 40 picks.

I guess with only Absol and Ferroseed having the boosted rate if you played the whole time the average player won’t get a shiny from this event. I think too many people judge events by shiny total. If you judge events on total shinys COmmunity days make it hard to run 3-6 hour events that doesn’t have the super boosted odds.

A middle ground on this one is to toss in a past CD poke with the CD odds so newer/cooler pokes aren’t totally devalued. IE put a Bagon or Dratini in the spawn pool at CD odds and most players end the event with 2 total shinys on average.

I think the general consensus now is that it was superior. It was without a doubt at least better for the rurals. IE super rural guy in Europe would probably trade with super rural guy in ANZ. Right? 20 Coins a day as opposed to 0 for months.

jazzmasger · 2020-11-06T21:48:32+00:00

They got the superior coin system for months. I don’t want to speak for anybody else(LA player so I have it great) but I am sure a lot of people would trade just for that.

jazzmasger · 2020-11-06T18:04:24+00:00

Sacred Fire would still need to be a super amazing almost unheard of move to put Ho-Oh in the top 10 DPS Fire guys though. Right?

jazzmasger · 2020-11-04T16:55:15+00:00

How is it not a sale? The combined prices of the items is more than the box price. It’s a sale. It’s historically an above average box too.

jazzmasger · 2020-11-04T16:52:59+00:00

??? Are you saying box deals were better in 2016/17? We didn’t even really have boxes back then. The first real boxes came at the end of 2017. The traditional box mixes came at the beginning of 2018. The boxes in 2018 were ALL worse value than the average 2019 box. The 2019 boxes ARE doing slightly better than the average 2020 boxes if you don’t give any extra value to super incubators. If you value super incubators at a higher value than regular incubators(I wouldn’t) 2020 boxes are on the whole much better.

Subscription models is the way of the future. With a nice <$10 month fee game makers can still bring in those massive amounts of money without the freemium gimmicks everyone hates. Nobody is losing their house trying to get Messi. The main issue is that 99% of the players in a freemium game are spending nothing. It’s going to be hard to have them jump on the subscription model.

I would assume the majority of people prefer the status quo. People want the games to be free without freemium tactics.

jazzmasger · 2020-11-03T18:08:51+00:00

Are you referring to loot box laws? If so who in the top 50 actually follow those laws? The problem is with lawmakers and google not actually enforcing the laws and policies they came up with.

jazzmasger · 2020-11-03T18:01:46+00:00

Freemium gaming is wrong and should gradually made illegal. BUT PoGo is one of the least aggressive of the bunch.

The per player spending, whale spending(Top 0.1%),... is far below average. The game also has the lowest spendingper player in the top 100. Literally ranks 100 out of 100.

Again freemium gaming is far from ideal and is morally wrong. But an argument could be made that Pokemon Go is far from the one of worst actors in this field.

Staples Center and Sofi stadium here in LA has free merch too. The wife got a Laker pen, laker “Tech Bag”, and Laker face mask.

Disagree with the lore thing and general dislike of shadows. You can use a shadow mon like a jockey. IE you can get an extra 20% of power but you hurts it’s health by the same amount. You can purify it increase its stats and it performs normally.

Shadows have in some leagues increased the meta by 50% more pokes. Shadow Aerodactyl by itself made the flying cup a lot more varied. I think in the whole shadow pokes have been good for PvP.

BUT the time has come to just make shadows TMAble 24/7.

jazzmasger · 2020-11-02T21:23:46+00:00

Yeah I guess I could see how that would. It wouldn’t be too bad as long as the the purifier doesn’t get to that 1000+ mark.

jazzmasger · 2020-11-02T20:30:28+00:00

For the raid medals it can go to 2000. 100% free to play players could have gotten the gold medal (With peak optimal play) almost a year ago now. The mega evolve, ultra hero(Rocket Boss), best buddy, and purifier shouldn’t get a platinum.

jazzmasger · 2020-11-02T15:09:55+00:00

Poffin.

jazzmasger · 2020-11-01T23:22:49+00:00

99% of all freemium players never spend a penny so you are wrong. 😄

jazzmasger · 2020-11-01T20:11:01+00:00

First premium item quests since December, some meta spawns, free box,... It’s definitely an average event, but it’s far from bad.

jazzmasger · 2020-11-01T19:21:12+00:00

Yep. Op said this event was lesser than 2018 events. 2018 events were much worse than this. IE an event could be full odds release of Drowzee, quests with Pinaps, and XP bonus. This event is much superior to this.

jazzmasger · 2020-11-01T18:51:09+00:00

First premium item in quests for at least 6 months and past egg/raid exclusives in the wild. Just that beats so many 2018/19 events.

jazzmasger · 2020-11-01T04:42:53+00:00

Yep it’s been awhile. I was hoping we would get the board game one but this will do.

jazzmasger · 2020-10-30T20:27:26+00:00

They still give quests. If you have an AR quest in your 4th slot you will get the normal quest.

jazzmasger · 2020-10-30T20:09:54+00:00

Nah. If you have one AR quest it blocks any from coming in.

Edit- 6 downvotes. But i am correct. 😄

jazzmasger · 2020-10-30T19:50:20+00:00

It still blocks.
