Pokemon Cafe Mix General Discussion

Got me my Shinywoodo and its cookies.

Every event makes me think that GS is smoking something weird, because why in the hell are they putting such huge requirements in their bingo cards (555 Parchment Papers?! When you're more than likely going to be doing twice as much work for them after completing the rest of the bingo card?!).

Honestly, decisions like that are making me consider quitting the game. At the end of the day, the extra outfits (which I'm sure I already have) are never going to be useful in scoring and gimmick riddance anyway.

EDIT: Player input saves the day:

i do agree with that events are powercreeping immensely

the lechonk watermelon one for sure was something I've gave up on with how few watermelons spawn in a round.

the daily limit for the already limited Gholdengo event is also not that great as sometimes i'm busy the 3 days it comes back on and like the one above, the spawn rate for coins is not a lot as well.

more and more pokemon get announced for delivery and premium passes and for those added to the base game the level requirements are getting really high. I had so many cupcakes but with Xatu and Hisuian Voltorb I'm straight out and Liligant and Squirtle are still several levels away.

I feel like they lost the plot for a free casual game and have made it very competitive in order push more and more to buy things.

 

[KirbyHamtaro]

I get the idea because obviously the cost of these multi-deliveries are being absurd right now and we have no ways of obtaining the 5 star outfits and the key pokemon for the bonuses. I'm starting to think that this is more of a pay 2 win thing.

 

[AuraChannelerChris]

They really want teams to come together in this event...because of the atrocious gimmick lineup making it hard to score high enough.

I hate watermelons now (not even the special Victini has an answer to that).

 

[Stallonation]

the recent Metagross challenge is so hard
I hate watermelon and candy more now

and how do we compete to the rival, their bar keeps rising highly per day

 

[AuraChannelerChris]

How the hell do those bozos go from struggling really badly under 1000 points to suddenly fighting the team at a stalemate at 10,000+ points.

I have already gave up lol
maybe I will keep still playing but casually

like everytime I log in and play the bozor points keep higher and higher I couldnt catch up
especially with the lack of Pokemon with candy/watermelon skills

 

[AuraChannelerChris]

I'm not even sure how can anyone get 53 likes in one session while I struggle to get 12.

 

[Stallonation]

Mine is sometimes 9 or 10 lol
but no matter how bad your meter is compared to the bozos, I always ended up winning the match lol
do they count our team members points too?

I think so. I did only did a single order one day and the meter still beat the rivals.

 

[KirbyHamtaro]

I believe they had a key pokemon and outfits to get there fast, but sometimes they may get lucky or unlucky with the 1-min cooking.

 

[Stallonation]

even to get Metagross cookies to unlock watermelon skill takes long

 

[KirbyHamtaro]

Yeah i think that event wasn't that good for us because if the key pokemon and outfits we need are in the pelipper's delivery and the event, that makes things harder for us to get the rewards.

I believe these new gimmicks are getting annoying without them.

 

[AuraChannelerChris]

Getting Greninja's outfit is going to be far faster than getting any other Pokemon that requires 600 gimmicks of their cleared.

 

[AuraChannelerChris]

Geez, this outdoor event is far more of a bloodbath than the previous ones because it's hard to get out of the lower ranks, but one good score of over 16,000,000 (while it's a struggle to get 9,000,000) puts you near the top.

I recommend using Palkia for the two-stage floor dish. The second part of it just aligns its special move just right.

 

[AuraChannelerChris]

Geez, game, you're sooo generous giving everyone one free skip a day. What a game changer.

 

[Smeargle-Sketch]

recent things

got Ogerpon

luckily got Dragapult by chance of a normal delivery on the last day even after using all the free tickets and acorns i had to try to get previously

missed scizor

got raichu

 

[AuraChannelerChris]

This cooking event is straight evil. There's no one available for free or through deliveries who can get rid of watermelons...except Leafeon, who's behind the paid season pass, You buy it, and you'll bump your score so high thanks to the added 10% bonus.

On the other hand, the only other way to feasibly deal with watermelons is through Gyarados' special move since it can wipe a huge area. Yes, it's gotten through deliveries, but if you got the Shiny one, it works the same.

I took advantage of my Froakie season pass just for the score. Nearly made it to 30,000,000 at 249-ish place, so I hope that holds up.

 

[AuraChannelerChris]

Looks like they made things less insufferable for cooking battles because filling the gauge at any time gives you an extra move, even if you hit zero but the gauge fills up.
