We finally got Gigantamax in Pokemon Go, and holy shit did they drop the ball with Dynamax and Gigantamax. You actually need 9-39 people to do these fights, and even with 39 people you're still not guaranteed a win let alone a Pokemon if you're lucky enough to beat it. That's right: you needed 30+ people to beat a Pokemon with a feature you can't even use anywhere else, and it's chances of running away from you are very high. They kicked off Gigantamax with the Kantos, but they were impossible for most players. Charizard and Blastoise were very hard because Blast was tanky af and Char nuked players instantly. To add insult to injury, the rewards were fucking garbage. Some people never caught a Gigantamax Kanto or took forever to get one. Nobody liked the Gigantamax fights, and it got to a point nobody really wanted to do Gigantamax Gengar last weekend. Niantic tried to fix Gengar's fight for Halloween by making it "easier" and give 25k worth of Stardust per victory, but people were still struggling to beat it. The internet wasn't very nice to Niantic when it promoted the Gigantamax Gengar event:
I think this current season tops the Spring Season for worst season of 2024 because Dynamax and Gigantamax sucked, raid Pokemon are still broken and buggy, and Pvp is a lost cause. Oh yea, Gigantamax fights cost 800 photon energy to participate in the fight, and the most you can get in one day is...800 photon energy. This is a giant fuck you to f2p players. You better buy those energy packs if you want the most out of Gigantamax Pokemon, goyim. They're trying to get people to get out and play together, but this and elite raids are not the ways to do it at all. I can't even get people to do Shadow raids.

It really feels like they hate every rural player after removing the covid buffs. Not to mention, there aren't many counters for gengar even in the current rotation, so it's a bigger fuck you.

After months I got back to Hoenn Adventures since I was storylocked due go a bugged item (Devon Scope), but now I found working cheats that allowed me to pass the chameleons and go to the gym.
The gane is quite beautiful, they changed the designs of the cities and it has pokémon life all around the place
The biggest problem is the leveling, I activated the exp all and my team is 20 levels ahead and I didn't even grind.
Also there are lots of text that is still untranslated.
I forgot but I quite like the function that after you beat a gym leader, you get a double battle next like a Second phase boss battle, such a cool concept that should happen more in pokemon games.
Hoenn here is one of the most beautiful in GBA, and the design barely changes, new tiles just gives new life to it.

I've been playing TCG Pocket since it dropped and it's looking decent so far.
There are Wonder Pick and Solo Battle events going on right now too.
For the Wonder Pick event you can get promo Chansey and Meowth cards (via, to the surprise of no one, Wonder Pick), there's a set of event Missions that are completed based on how many Wonder Picks you do and how many promo Meowth and Chansey cards you pull that reward you with special event Tickets that can be redeemed in the shop for exclusive backdrops for the game's Display Board feature.
For the Solo Battles you're facing off against a Water-type deck themed around Lapras with changes made to the deck based on difficulty (You face a crappy Lapras deck in Beginner, it gets mildly better with some added evolutions in Intermediate, they swap out regular Lapras for Lapras ex and solidify the evolutions a bit in Advanced, while they make the evolutions better with Starmie ex and throw in the ever-annoying Misty Supporter card in Expert). For winning the match for the first time you get the usual First-Time rewards stuff but the real draw is the chance rewards, you have a chance of getting Shinedust and Shop Tickets at varying drop rates but you can also get a 1-card promo pack containing one of 5 cards (Mankey, Butterfree, Clefairy, Pikachu, and the exact Lapras ex print present in the Intermediate/Expert decks). The usual challenges are present but rather than rewarding Shop Tickets they reward Wonder Hourglasses, there are also three new challenges present in the events Intermediate and Expert levels that are completed based on how many matches you win (win 5 matches for Intermediate, Win 10 and 20 matches for Expert).
Oh, and both of these events end on the 17th.
- Pack openings are nice but the feel lackluster unless you get a Pokémon ex or better. God Packs are genuinely rare (I myself have only opened one) but getting a "dud" God pack is possible when you're not guaranteed an Immersive Rare (a special form of Illustration Rare that expands on the art with a little animation) or Crown Rare (TCG Pocket's answer to the IRL TCG's and Live's gold Hyper Rares). Rumors have been swirling around that say you have a better chance of getting a chase card if you open packs that have slight warps on the top part of 'em but it's not confirmed.
- The meta is genuinely stale despite the game being less than a week old. You're either going to run Mewtwo ex/Gardevoir or Pikachu ex and Friends. Other decks like Turbo Blaine and Weezing/Wigglytuff ex are viable but they can't hold a candle to the first two.
- Wonder Pick is hit-or-miss, it's basically a 1-to-5 chance of getting any one card from a pack your friend/some rando pulled. Like the pack crease thing mentioned earlier there are rumors that say you can track a card's location in Wonder Pick by recording the animation, replaying it, and paying attention to where your desired card lands. The rumors are unsubstantiated.
- The devs listened to people complaining about the Hourglasses in the shop not resetting and they've added in monthly Hourglasses. They're contain the same amount of Hourglasses as the nonrefreshable bundles but they cost 66% more than them.

For me i got more rares by opening packs that were flipped around showing the back of the pack and cards instead of them being front facing. i wound up getting that Black MewTwo EX card because of it.

The cards are determined before you ever choose a pack. Choosing is just a mind game you play with yourself.

Yeah this shit right here has effectively got me to quit. The entire Dynamax system is a joke, and I promise you they're going to make every single mistake they're making now, again, in a year or two when they release Tera Pokemon. I live in a medium population city, and I can tell you the game is effectively dead because of this dogshit. Gyms aren't being taken, no ones doing raids, no lures, no anything.
Just the sheer fucking gall to make this shit require 40 god damn people should be enough for Niantic to be taken out back and get Ol' Yeller'd. Its a logistical fucking nightmare getting a fucking family of 5 somewhere and on the same page, and you expect me to do that 8 fucking times over for what is effectively a costume? Nigger, fuck you. Thanks for making all my progress over the past several years meaningless with a new system you absolute fucking troglodytes couldn't of fucked up anymore if you tried.

If it makes you feel any better Niantic actually admitted they made a fucky-wucky with the initial Kanto Starter Gigantamax raids and the difficulty was adjusted starting with Gigantamax Gengar. Now they can be completed with 8-to-11 high-level players just like 5-Star raids can.

I've seen the builds of low player count teams who manage it, and it goes right back to my point of invalidating all mine and everyone elses previous progress. I've already put the time and money in, and now they hit us with a system even more money grubbing, data whoring, and time sinking than any previous itteration. How monumentally dogshit this entire system is goes well beyond the difficulty of the raids. Niantic may as well of held a press talk, had the CEO shit on an audience members cellphone, and called it a new feature you have to pay $49.99 a month for. It's almost a work of art how badly they fucked up this entire system from the word "go". (Ba-dum-tsst)

Finished the Hoenn Adventures game, cool game, not breaking new ground but pretty. The E4 had modified teams but nothing groundbreaking, using older gens instead of repeats. What I truly liked was this:
Instead of choosing steven or wallace,it was both, with their aces in a double battle. It was hard even when I was overleveled.
I managed to win against them with only Blastoise remaining.
One cool addition was this mural in dewford, early in game, showcasing what was going to happen in the future.
This was my team after I won.
Then after beating the elite 4 for the first time, instead of fighting Steven in the meteor falls, you get to fight Red with his complete team.
This team was really strong, this jack didn't had a special split, so you can imagine how strong this alolan muk was. There was no megas too

G-max could have been the answer to the rural solo raiding, as the G-max bosses could have been like raid bosses, but designed for 1-4 players instead. But they went the full retard way.
I don't even know why they are so against remote raid passes. I've seen people throw around an idea, that if staying home and remote raiding goes against the idea of the game, then make it so that regular passes will turn to remote passes after walking, let's say 10km. Nobody is going to walk 50km a day to get to the daily limit, but it would still give rural players access to remote raids without spending cash. Then add a feature to party play that halves the required walk distance and boom, some use for that useless feature too.

Early Wow had 40-man raids, but even Blizzard realized this idea isn't going to work in the long run. I don't think anyone would complain about the content being tougher if it was fun and rewarding, and it didn't require over thousands of candies, photon energy points, and millions of stardust to build viable teams (Eternatus and friends aren't worth it). The few remaining OG players and Youtubers/streamers are the only ones that are getting the most out of Dynamax/Gigantamax, but even they hate doing them.
We're still waiting for the rest of the Megas like Metagross and Mewtwo. We'll be lucky to get Eternatus let alone an Urshifu at the end of this shitty season.

Speaking of Megas, I hate how they are handled in general in GO.
Not only do you need to collect a certain amount of mega energy, but you can't even use it in every battle because it has a "cooldown' timer. Why can't that shit just be permanent? Like once you have the Mega Stone, your pokemon is a permanent mega forever?
Before I gave up on GO, i had enough mega energy for my Beedril, my first and only Mega in Go. So I was pretty pissed to learn how niantic fucked that whole system up.
