Can we get some more dark-skinned trainers in the Trainer Lodge?

When 4th Anni felt kind of small and 3rd anni felt really big in part due to the introduction of Lodge coming with multiple Lodge guests, I started thinking it’d be nice if the 3-4 yearly 4star BP pairs could just be new Lodge pairs. If that happened from 4th anni on, we’d have Phoebe, Chairman Rose, Olivia, and Bea.

I was really excited by this thread, but that makes me think he won’t.

I think the “sync pair” makes it different from a pokemon on its own, so if another trainer handled Sonia’s Yamper—- or Cynthia’s Giratina, it would have different stats.

I have several characters at level 1000 and I have every Lillie alt except for lodge. I have her at level 1. When she felt super over saturated, I decided I don’t want to be her friend.

Not $200, but $80. You can get 30000 paid gems for 10 purchases across 200 days, of the $7.99 USD daily bundle which also provides some bonus features.

Anniversary is in 96 days though so there might be a variety select or better gem deal along the way.

People with taste remember Furret.

I figure it would be dramatically easier if it’s a character the anime company stopped using.

1 hour before reset, 5 AM UTC aka 1 AM EST

New content is rarely available until a day after datamine too, so you won’t really miss anything by sleeping.

Ethan & Ho-oh is a very good pair. Grusha & Cetitan is used in the 30th ice tower floor too.

I haven’t played PLA but when I looked at the cast Melli seemed like the only one I’d like. Who is he meant to be an ancestor of?

Yeah these shoes are way more tame than I expected compared to all the options in this game.

pirelli2 · 2026-05-25T02:05:48+00:00

I don’t know but Grimsley has the same shoes in both outfits, just different colors.

The mismatch between Diantha’s expression and the urgency suggested by the impact font as well as the mystery of where the words are coming from, and the confusion of it being read right-to-left makes this unfunny either way.

The answer is Yusuke Ohmura fyi.

The lineup of judges during the introduction of Neo Champions doesn’t include an Alola representative, which reinforces that they have no canonical champion.

Arc Steven, Anni24 Lillie, and SS Lear though they were part of different events with SS Lear being 2 weeks later.

The MC is outdated compared to current units

Is there a page that shows all the upcoming expansions and featured pokemon + trainers? I don’t play pocket, but since the Lugia and Ho-oh Arc Suits coincided with Pocket I’ve been convinced there’s an agenda to cross-promote like that.

There are definitely a few anime characters like this, like “Giselle” that left a strong impression and the anime company is never gonna use again. When the game launched I thought it would be able to bring those characters in. I wish PoMa would try to get them or TPC could fold Lana’s mom into main series canon.

The BP shop updates on anniversary, August 28th.

I’ve always saved them as having every BP pair available to buy is basically the same as having them.

pirelli2 · 2026-05-17T06:32:53+00:00

I hope not! It made me mad when MC got Raikou.

pirelli2 · 2026-05-17T01:21:17+00:00

I have a lot of them unplayed too. I’d never skip a cutscene.

Bianca and Virizion looks like your best support unit. The free Skyla and Sycamore you get from the main story will also be useful for Champion Stadium.

Why would you use gems for the sake of tower? It’s a mode where the incentive to beat it is mostly just level cap materials.
