I dunno about Masters. I straight up look at people who play gachas with a bit of contempt for that aspect of their lives. It's all just disgusting casino poo poo streamed to your phones and with the promise of jpgs instead of money. It rubs me the wrong way whenever I see people excited for it.

Haha yeah people who gamble are worse than us, the enlightened few.

People who spend money on gatcha are, in fact, morons.

I don't give gently caress if people want to gamble I just shudder at the idea of gambling becoming a main draw of the series. I don't think that's going to happen or that it's super likely but I get not wanting gatcha's fingers in pokemon.

It's a gacha, it won't be. They aren't designed to be fun, they're designed to give you pleasure then abruptly stop it so you put all your money into random chance of getting exactly what you may need to continue/that JPG that you like the most amongst them all. Which will, of course, have a low chance so you can keep putting money in.

Dragalia Lost is fun. There's even a guy in Reddit who has managed to enjoy it through endgame content without even doing gacha pulls!

Not wanting Pokémon to have gacha games is fine! Saying that people who play those games are contemptible is some elitist bullshit, and that’s what I was responding to

The real problem with most gachas is that they're literally just gambling for anime titties latched onto garbage gameplay.

Pokemon is for children, so hopefully we get less of the former and Pokemon is already filled with the latter.

In Ultra Warp Ride are 2 or 3 ring white wormholes even possible? Been trying to get Kartana and white wormholes are frustratingly rare. And if Kartana is this bad then Guzzlord is gonna be a bitch to find.

Anyone have that graph showing the % of different ultra beasts compared to light years traveled and rings?

People who pay for gacha aren't contemptible, you just pity them for succumbing to addiction.

It's the companies that make these games that are contemptible.

Pokeball wedding ring boxes.

I mean, there are now official pokemon-themed weddings and formalwear, so its not too big a leap.

Master Ball ring boxes feel like you're hedging your bets. "Which ball best captures the feel of I choose you to be my partner? Let's use the one they can't break out of."

I don't have a graph, but I do have great annoyance at the white wormhole rarity same as you. I did one day eventually find a triple ring white wormhole and it still gave me Kartana instead of Guzzlord which made me flippin' lose it. Eventually it worked out but I never want to do that again.

Miles "Spoon killer" O'Brien is a war criminal known for killing an entire group of Cardassians single handedly.

There's no way his team isn't insanely strong he just keeps freaking out when you ask to battle until he has to go play dress up at the Alamo to calm down.

There's an episode where there's a plasma ghost that eats by loving. He lives in a candle. The OH NO is from the fact that the candle had been handed down through GENERATIONS of women in the family. Also, O'Brian should have way more murder Pokemon after what we learn about him in DS9. Especially after the abandoned space station episode.

E: Why did O'Brian not get a Stoutland?
