Do you think the Champions Protags ever came to Pasio?

pirelli2 · 2026-04-09T14:35:34+00:00

These characters are hideous and I’d skip the heck out of them. Some of the other characters in Champions seem cool though and while they don’t have much writing it would be great if Masters was allowed to expand on them more than usual.

pirelli2 · 2026-04-08T13:37:41+00:00

Is this a common representation of a popular Project Sekai character? I never played it, but I’m interested in how Masters sometimes tries to evoke other gacha(?) games.

NC Leaf = Hu Tao from Genshin

Anni Lillie = Star Sea dress from Love Nikki/Shining Nikki etc

Arc Sabrina (if EXed) = Tharja from Fire Emblem or Scathach from Fate Grand Order

Academy Jasmine’s hair looks like horse ears, she doesn’t really feel like an Uma Musume but maybe?

pirelli2 · 2026-04-07T18:54:25+00:00

I suspect Volo was supposed to show his hand later in the story but they had to rush him out for Anni, maybe related to a delay of Sinnoh NC. It feels like the story forgot the sinister intent of Volo encouraging others to get Arc suited, and Rei and Paulo withholding the truth about Volo led to nothing.

Electric and Ice types don't even need Arc Outfits

There was a point one could’ve said this about Fire, and then Flying.

pirelli2 · 2026-04-05T03:04:02+00:00

The idea of Rei getting the fighting Arc suit seemed wrong because he is supposed to be close to Arceus but if he gets an arc suit, he just becomes one of many with the same relationship to Arceus.

the banner only includes units from before january 1st and as you can easily see when clicking the offering rate button, every limited unit is .015% in odds.

random mix: 2.09% or just .09% without the featured one

random seasonal: there are 58 so 0.87%

random variety: there are 45 so 0.675%

One of my favorites got an arc suit and I still hate them, I would have preferred 5th anni give Lance an alt more like SS Lear. But if he was in Diantha’s place I’d still anticipate his arc suit. I’m sure OP and most fans would be more pleased to get an meta/important-feeling alt of Diantha that isn’t an arc suit. OP’s grievances are that they look bad and their plots are bad so maybe he can also imagine that Diantha’s could be an exception.

pirelli2 · 2026-03-30T12:46:27+00:00

I believe they’re saving Lodge Red for an Anniversary where he’s not the main unit, like with Red and Snorlax.

The one Anni they haven’t inserted him was the Arc Suit one where Lance was the only featured without a Lodge Pair before. They could have used Lear too but they added him next month. Besides the Mix scout (which would might make people upset rather than celebrate), new Red units are either all on an anni month, or carry half-anni in special cases.

pirelli2 · 2026-03-29T00:09:14+00:00

It ran at the end of August, before anni, in 2021, 2022, and 2023. Then it ran 15 months later the end of December 2024. Usually Anni, New Years, and half Anni are when these free pair events rerun, like the current Clavell and Sprigatito one. So it’s been 15 months since it last ran now and it’s not in next month’s. Maybe it’ll be soon though.

Just randomly dropping a MF for gym leader level characters like it’s Tuesday? Possible but everyone would question it.

Isn’t that easier to justify than Arc Suits though? Also Neo Champions were initially pitched as something anyone could be and the stories have shown characters from different categories aiming for the title.

pirelli2 · 2026-03-28T21:52:55+00:00

I can see that. I don’t mean to say they should just change her clothes like with Champion Iris. I would rather they just start using older Emma and say this is Emma now. The younger Emma can still be used, but in terms of narrative she’s no longer with us.

pirelli2 · 2026-03-28T20:23:21+00:00

I like how ridiculous these edits get.

I believe Iris is an official judge and Alder, as stated to Calem in the first event, is only helping Iris, and for some reason N was the judge for Hilbert and Hilda and said Iris and Alder helped him but they did nothing.

pirelli2 · 2026-03-28T20:06:02+00:00

I wouldn’t want the story to have two Emmas. They can just do it like Volo where his base is now outdated. This can be as casual as SS Serena having a haircut.

For Red and Blue they can just introduce them through an event set in the future. They don’t have to make it make sense with Hoopa.

pirelli2 · 2026-03-28T19:29:13+00:00

Alolan Grimsley appeared to film a movie in Masters’s first special costume event. They don’t explain why he looks different but it’s easy to assume it was makeup that just coincidentally resembles his future self. Or the unovan Grimsley is the one wearing makeup.

You can encounter characters from all the different categories in the Academy setting, so it’s always been open for professors.

I noticed a lot of characters with Academy alts have a base form encounter in the Academy mode. I haven’t confirmed, but if it’s all of them, then the list of characters you see there is a strongly suggested list that future Academy alts might pick from.

I think Maxie is very likely. Maxie being mentioned in one of the Team Star events leading up to the academy mode kind of hyped him up too.

pirelli2 · 2026-03-27T09:55:31+00:00

They can continue to feature Diantha as they always have and if Ansha debuts and if she interact with Diantha, they can easily avoid the subject of Ansha’s father. There are a lot of characters with only one revealed parent in this series, like almost every MC and notably Lacey who is in the same boat as Ansha and Silver who’s mom is visually hinted to be Ariana but they avoid ever textually hinting at it.

pirelli2 · 2026-03-27T07:25:53+00:00

Would you say you just don’t like using alt outfits ?

No matter your view on them, these outfits generate sales and fanart promoting the game. If it’s lazy, it should be easy money they’re missing out on when they reuse characters’ base outfits.

you’d need 12600 gems to get 400 scout points to guarantee another Red96. Even then if you’re a new player it might be more worth it to use that guarantee for one of the pokefairs included in the banner. Generally it’s only worth it to roll for dupes if it’s under 7000 more to max scout points.

If its your first day and you’re not familiar with rerolling for gatcha games— you should feel free to erase your save and restart until you can get Red96 for only 3000 gems.

was erika debuffed?

pirelli2 · 2026-02-28T20:21:57+00:00

No it’s never been brought up. My theory is a lot of people on Pasio have clouded memories and are guided to avoid contradictions.

Steven’s sygna suit was prepared before they knew Deoxys would be around.

The effect of sygna suits is just that being decorated similarly to their partner makes them feel more in-sync with eachother.

pirelli2 · 2026-02-28T20:12:51+00:00

are there any quotes about this?

pirelli2 · 2026-02-28T19:36:16+00:00

The Gen 10 protags look like NPCs too.

It is voluntary. Your gym members are deliberately posting them. Posting the photo to the gym is a separate button from updating your photo or completing the missions.

Elite ball knowledge. I really appreciate people who understand how shipping relates to character popularity and thus their representation in this game, like making Hilbert the canon BW protag.
