So the official site is up, and it.mentions the story is to collect 5 badges to compete in the masters league. 5 badges is....odd, why 5? And more importantly, who's holding them? The champions? Which ones?
Maybe they simplified it because its a mobile game.So the official site is up, and it.mentions the story is to collect 5 badges to compete in the masters league. 5 badges is....odd, why 5? And more importantly, who's holding them? The champions? Which ones?
To be fair, that's not something usually made known to public before the games are released.Are there MULTIPLE gachas? How long is the campaign and what is their plan for adding onto it in the future? What are the specifics of the pull system if gacha?
multiple gachas and the nature of pulls are. For example, are there free pulls, how much do you give per pull, what's the max pull.To be fair, that's not something usually made known to public before the games are released.
... Is there a Japanese version of this scene that Iris mentions his Japanese name, Shota? Like it would be nice to see the unique anime characters, though out of the many they can pick one of them was Sawyer? Sure, he was one of Ash's rivals, but not really the most memorable (also Alain was the "main rival" of XY). Also odd its Iris who had the interaction instead of Clemont or Serena, Ash's travel companions during XY thus have a connection with Sawyer.EDIT: Looks like Iris name dropped Sawyer from the XY anime. Looks like the Anime crowd might be making some cameos too?
At least it is not one of those alliterations they forcibly wanted to use in Z-Moves.New trailer for Masters
Thunder of Newfound Passion... yikes
Maybe the suits are alts that you get with the Gacha system?
So the game also introduce the Synga Suits, which not only gives you an aesthetic change, but is also what allows you to swap Pokemon. These suits are whats likely going to be the Gacha element.
I'll make an assumption based on the other Gacha game I've played (Puyo Puyo Quest) and I think you will start with your OC and you then pick one of those three trainers.
- “Friends” (OC, Brock, Misty, Rosa) are separated from other guys in the character showcase. They are shown heavily in the trailers, so along with below we probably start with em.
The game is based on 3v3 combat, so you’d need 3 trainers to start.I'll make an assumption based on the other Gacha game I've played (Puyo Puyo Quest) and I think you will start with your OC and you then pick one of those three trainers.
Eh, I was alright with the Z-Move alliterations (you should see the Japanese names for some of them).At least it is not one of those alliterations they forcibly wanted to use in Z-Moves.
Interesting "Snivy" Rosa is 5 stars, you'd think they would save a higher rating for her with one of the alternate costumes they can put her in from the PokeStar Movies:
- On the edit team (in system), trainers have stars next to them. Gacha confirmed. The menu shows the 4 friends and a 4 star Whitney so either rolls are (however good luck here) or Whitney is story unlocked.
- Rosa is 5 star while the other friends only have 3 star, including the OC. Looks like our starting characters will suck unless you can heavily upgrade em, and 5 star Rosa joins as a gift just after or during the tutorial to get players hooked.
Hm... maybe. But that would also mean the level is for the trainer, rather than for the Pokemon or the partnership (or friendship I suppose). Unless you strengthen/enhance the outfit rather than the Pokemon itself?Some (most?) games of this nature usually have a way for you to increase the rarity of all characters to 5* using resources, so that's likely what's going on with the player character.
FEH gave 2* rarities to the main characters, so it isn’t super odd.Kinda weird that you have a "rarity" assigned to your own character as well
The anime design (based off the original) is probably more recognizable to non BW players?Iris's design is from BW but they mention she's from B2W2 (since it mentions she is Champion I guess you could say this is her casual attire when she's not acting as Champion, but we've only saw her like that once in B2W2 in overworld sprite form, this design is still more recognizable as her from BW
The costumes would fit well into the suit mechanic, and who’s to say there aren’t 6* or updates for still 5* alts. Plus she’s a protagonist so she’s more important?Interesting "Snivy" Rosa is 5 stars, you'd think they would save a higher rating for her with one of the alternate costumes they can put her in from the PokeStar Movies:
Do we know what autobattle does? I don't know anything about the term other than "gachas tend to have them".Cant believe I didn’t notice the autobattle option.
Idk how egregious this is compared to other Gachas
It's just that the AI plays instead of you, normally with some con such as not using some special abilities and the such. Not to mention making questionable decisions...Do we know what autobattle does? I don't know anything about the term other than "gachas tend to have them".
Basically so you don't have to button mash. Games with auto battles kinda take the fun away from them IMO.Do we know what autobattle does? I don't know anything about the term other than "gachas tend to have them".
