Yeah, I somehow managed to get a level 25 Hobo Morty when most of the enemy Mortys I'm seeing are in the 12-15 range, and he fuckin' cleans house.

Yeah, the real trick is combining Morty's for over powered ones and then you just steamroll everyone. No real grinding or need for items outside of control chips after a while.

What's the trick to combining morties? They have to be of same or similar type?

I never played Pokemon games so I assume the text being peppered with grammatical errors and faux-awkward-translations is a reference to what the first Pokemons were like?

This free, well animated phone game, with great sound and well voiced writing is bad because it's a simpler version of the most popular video game of all time... JFC some people. I for one am impressed that Rick Sanchez has already attained "if you see text next to my face you will hear it in my voice" a la' Prof. Farnsworth.

Hazo posted:I figured it was only a matter of time. You're a cool dude. I was thinking so, because that morty is the only other one I've seen without a rock/paper/scissors icon Also, combining mortys from the lowest grade up is definitely the easiest way to get a morty that can roll face. My gf combined up to an off the grid morty and it was lvl 20 after the combine and her hippy mortys were only 10 & 15. Hardawn fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Jan 18, 2016 |

If you want to complete the quests (which requires crafting) I've found that in the long run Turbulent Juice is by far the limiting crafting resource, followed by batteries. So I don't suggest using any of those two to craft serum or Morty manipulator chips, which you can just buy with schmeckles instead. Combining Mortys only works up to the third tier of each set (i.e. Mustache->Beard->Hipster). Has anyone found a sure fire way to add/replace attacks of your Mortys? I have one now that only has one attack, while his other three moves are buffs/debuffs. Sometimes when they reach a new level, I'll get an option to replace one of the moves with a new attack. But that's unpredictable so I was wondering if any goons found a more reliable method. Does anyone know what speed does in this game? Buffing or debuffing speed during a fight doesn't seem to do anything.

I though it was a list of attacks unlocked per Morty. But, I haven't been leveling parallel Mortys of the same type to verify if the order is the same each time, or if there is pool of attacks and leveling reveals a random one. bawfuls posted:Does anyone know what speed does in this game? Buffing or debuffing speed during a fight doesn't seem to do anything. I've seen the initiative order change based on Speed. Mostly it's when swapping Mortys, and you might get an effective two hits in a row out ( Him - Me | Me - Him ) because of the switch. I've seen it occasionally matter after a speed buff/debuff - but then they wasted an attack on the buff. I've yet to find a real use for buff/debuff vs. just hitting them in the face. But my tactic is to bring out my three highest level Morty's in Paper, Scissor and Rock types each, then the next Morty of the highest of anything left over. I swap out immediately in fights to always be winning the RPS - sensational/pathetic bonus always seems better than any buff/debuff.

This game is great to play on the shitter, on the train, waking up with a cup of coffe, or at a live sporting event. You can pick it up and play it for 5 minutes or an hour. Tap the screen and fight battles - thats it. That's all I need.

Everytime the enemy takes a buff/debuff turn I'm just like, "Sweet, free turn for me." Maybe if there were boss Mortys it would be useful, but even in the Council fights the Mortys don't last more than a few turns.

Hazo posted:I found the defense debuffs useful as a way to conserve attack points. Running out of attacks seems way more of an issue than it ever was in Pokemon, especially early on when you'd have maybe one damaging move with 9-12 AP and two buff/debuffs on a Morty. So for instance instead of using three damaging attacks, I could use one damaging move plus one defense debuff plus one more damaging attack. Except the trade-off there is conserving AP --> losing HP. You're taking more hits while you buff/debuff. In essence, you're going to have to refill your HP more frequently to prevent from having to refill AP. And I think the AP items are cheaper?

In single player Pokemon, you can just focus on attacks and nothing else and do just fine. In competitive Pokemon, you'd be annihilated that way. I loaded up my OG Pokemon Blue cart a few years ago and looked at the movesets on my Pokemon and was completely mystified to find stuff like a Charizard with Ember, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, and Bite. Once you learn the strategies for it, having more than one damage move (or maybe two, if they are of different types) starts seeming like a waste of move slots. e: Which of course does nothing to invalidate the point WRT Pocket Morties, where there is no deeper strategy or competitive option.

Its more an issue with early-game pokemon than late game, early game moves like growl are an entire waste of a turn and exist only so that small children can still win matches, by attacking while your opponent effectively wastes their turn. But you shouldn't use growl yourself. But by end-game there's abilities that do much more, either really important status effects or combinations of attacks and debuffs or whatever. Plus you have more pokemon, more types, more moves, so there's a lot more strategy you can build. Paralyze and then debuff during the next turn, stuff like that, which you can't do in the beginning of the game.

It's not a super easy problem to fix but it is definitely a problem IMO. prefect posted:Is this game even a tenth as complicated as the Pokemon stuff you're talking about?

Sometimes I'll bump into a trainer with a slightly higher level Swimmer Morty than any of my Morty's who goes before any of them in attack order and he'll just punch a hole through all of them regardless of their RPS type just due to him having higher Speed stat.

Even as simple as Pocket Mortys is if it's going to take more than three attacks it's probably better to do a defense/offense buff, since it'll be the same number of turns to defeat the other Morty and saves you a PP on your attack move.
