>What is Pokémon Masters EX?
A mobile Pokémon game that's real-time instead of turn-based and focuses on collecting trainers instead of Pokémon.

I wish Canari would come soon, but I suppose it'll be after the 8th Anniversary, seeing how slowly everything is coming to this fucking game. I'm so eager to hear her voice, and I'm still waiting for Cogita, among other completely forgotten waifus :(
>>58959080
I'm having the same problem! In the end, I could never play online, only with NPCs, luckily, otherwise I'd be in serious trouble for the rewards. I'm surprised it doesn't happen to everyone, and only to a few, from what I see. Is it because it crashes when using Wi-Fi and only works with mobile data?

>>58959080
Yes, it's been happening to a lot of people. Doing the battle with NPC players through the "Connect with Friends" option lets you get all the rewards without the game crashing.
I don't know if you guys have noticed or if it's happening to you at all, but since the latest update there are single-player battles that lag/freeze for about a second when all the pre-battle animations should play, all these animations are "skipped" (all their sounds play at once though), then the battle proceeds as normal. This might have something to do with co-op crashing.
>>58962536
Yeah. Basically if you don't have a gym with 20/20 active members, you're screwed.

If you're right and they create new types of alternate costumes (classic), it would start a new era, just like what happened with Sygna, Anniversary, Neo, and Arc. The downside is that it will be the same Pokémon, just slightly tweaked.
>>
>>58962627
I get that lag. Also, when I try to the first log-on, sometimes it freezes and I have to try anywhere between 2 to 10 times. Dena's helpful advice has been to try logging in more. This bullshit along with what's very likely going to be Arc Red is really fucking tiring me out.
>>
>>
>>
>>58962795
The log-in freeze stopped happening to me a few days ago but I have no idea why. It would happen the first time I opened the app every day, but upon restarting once, I'd be able to log-in with no issues.
This is also a common problem with this version, so it's not just you and me.
On the bright side, all these bugs might mean that DeNA will give us some free gems.

Cant wait to have to convince me gym leader to kick the three faggots that are logging in but aren't spending their tickets. He doesn't want to kick anyone he's nice and thinks people are trying their best since he himself is a casual that isn't generating huge amounts of points.

It also says Form: Before “The Original Thunder” which would imply a special form for Pikachu I think?

does this mean if they ever add classic Jasmine, Morty, Ethan, Blue, etc they would all have a water color filter then?
This also potentially opens up to adding alternate universe versions of modern charters like Iono or N who instead are in the gens 1/2 style of character designs

The power and chance of applying additional effects of moves and sync moves affected by this passive skill are not lowered even if there are multiple targets. Grants all of the following effects the first time the user’s sync move is used each battle: Reduces the user’s sync move countdown by three. Turns the field of play’s terrain into Electric Terrain.

I'm surprised they didn't find a way to make him do -2 electric rebuff so that he's literally every role (unless that's in the grid)

The dialogue in Masters makes it pretty clear she's from a made up version of HGSS that happened to have Crystal elements
They've pulled this with Leaf existing and the Let's Go protagonists when it's clear via dialogue the version of Kanto the story uses is FRLG
Masters uses an approach amalgamation to explain things when it's not using multiverse to justify stuff, the fact it uses multiverse just means these versions of the characters are just a possible universe anyway

I know that, but they specifically say she did Crystal related content (Suicune stuff), but still exist in HGSS where Ethan is treated as the protagonist
She got off better then Leaf, who just kind of exists, with nothing to her besides being a Trainer who happens to be on the same level as Red and Blue, and at most just did minor non-plot important things in Kanto (only thing I remember them bringing up is her being the one to get Copycat's doll, and failing to catch a Snorlax after Red caught his)

I know, I just wanted an excuse to shit on the plot some more.
I don't think they'll need to explain Kris's existence. I don't think they even thought this through when they decided to put her in the game. So she just kind of exists at the same time as Lyra. As explained before, these characters come from made up/alternate versions of the main games.
However, with the power of Arceus and multiverse bullshit they can explain anything if they need to.

The point is that people play this Masters for the characters. They don't give a fuck about the quality of the story as long as their favorite characters are in it. Therefore the main draw of this game is the characters.

>>58963656
>I don't suppose you'll get character interaction in your "gameplay" then
You automatically get character interaction as early as the team select screen if it's arranged accordingly with the characters involved.
Moreover, you in fact have an entire gameplay mode that is exclusively about interacting with trainers of your preference within an updating pool.
And that's before factoring in the surely unmissable character exploring aspects of pokemon pairings, enemy team lineups, and dialogue from the lobby to events that far exceed what the trainers have in their respective games while existing independent of a "story".

Campfirebros, it's the last day, unless you have super awakened gorillion damage units please copy the same stall teams and stack potent toxin/scorcher and pokey trap units that will end giving you more or less 45,000 points with 3 battles using x1 ticket on those stagea that would give you less than 40,000 with x3 tickets.
Use those Bertha, Kabu (Scorcher + Pokey), BP Erika (Pokey 2 + Pokey 1), Wallace (Pokey 5), SS Leaf (Toxin 2), U Selene (Toxin 2), etc.
Just use Bertha's Sand after the the mon on the right uses its attack or right after the boss' second action. Open with Sneaky Pebbles.
You can test your DPS and see how it does, if it's below 40K just go for stall, Kabu's Max Move traps all on the start and he burns after being targeted else go for 2/5 Leaf's Razor Leaf poison and Toxin 2 chance on first turn, 2/5 Ultra Selene does the same with Acid.
>>
>>58964306
Especially now that the Rockbot exploit team has finished Blue, it's pointless going for meme DPS scores when the very late circuit either want an actual invested type meta team or stall to do more, a further reason is that we don't need to reach a new circuit so the priority should be the score and not a circuit reset. Basically use common sense and damage comparison.
Anyway good job everyone except the r*de one who hasn't login for two days.
>>
>>
>>58964339
Yes, he is the main Kabu Fan in the gym from what I remember.
Also if you are in contanct with others tell them to stop doing Misty for fucking x3 tickets into 33K damage, this circuit is too HP bloated and we won't have Red for Misty.
And if Lt.Surge goes KO move to Sabrina, Blaine and Brock stalling because compared to the sidemons the boss takes the same set % from passive damage but since it has a higher base HP it gives more points, if the teammates ontype DPS is 45K+ fine keep the x3 tickets score, everyone has at least Bertha, BP Erika and Wallace.
I believe most have wasted tickets into type rebuffs earlier when only Blue needed them realistically.
Cheers! It was a decent run, the others should be better...well if I manage to get any Anni pair and Kanto gym arcs from dailies.
>>
>>
>>58964366
Thanks for your hard work anon o7, I will be booting two or three people after this so we can get some people who actually give a shit. One player has only used 3 fucking tickets (the one with the as red icon). He’s getting the boot for sure

Some japanbros woke up and dumped all their extra tickets on miserable scores, surprised they didn't check event timer announcing its incoming end the battle logs to get a clue of the other scores and strats, they have have their own Japanese board for pokemas on pbbs too. At least they were active and at worst lost 10-15K points every x3 tickets.
For a random and casual gym event our gym did well, cheers to the designated Rock anon, glad everyone understood he just needed a cheer to kick in the physical and supereffective Blue sessions, twinsanon also did well in physical and supereffective Koga.

Red's grid is crazy
All passives are I think half cost compared to what they are on other grids. His 4 and 5 nodes are +500 BP for Glorious Thunder and extension+re-set all Kanto circles on sync. Only real downside is that those nodes aren't in free spots like normal MF grids

Yknow, i hope this isn't a one of thing and they give us more "retro" alts. It works with so many characters considering all the design changes they've gone through over the generations. Brendan and May desperately need their old looks back.

>>58967622
For a character who's at his 5th anniversary tie-in unit now it's an oddly fun idea.
But it is true that they could have leaned harder into that idea with a couple other characters here. As it stands he ends up looking like a smokescreen to compensate for yet another palar month.
