Genuinely, why is this a thing?

Genuinely, why is this a thing?

I have so many questions about the existence of Pokémon Boost Emblems, and I am sick of keeping them to myself in-between surveys. For starters, why build this mechanic into the bones of your game if you're going to expand on it once, make some color adjustments, and then forget about it entirely?

For the record, I do not count "platinum" emblems as a functional addition, since they provide no benefits whatsoever over gold emblems. With that said, why are "platinum" emblems unobtainable outside of "limited time only" events? This makes it impossible to build a 7 Navy Emblem page unless you just so happened to have played the game within a specific window. If you missed any of them, fuck off forever I guess.

Why the hell are there only 258 emblems anyway? There are not even enough Grey Emblems in the game to build a 7 Grey Emblem page at all.

I have brought all of these up in the surveys for YEARS now, and it just breaks my brain seeing all of the things that TiMi chooses to focus on when they have the EASIEST SLAM DUNK IN GAME DEVELOPMENT HISTORY just sitting there collecting dust underneath their latest digital slot machine. Seemingly completely forgotten in favor of rapidly pumping out one trick pony new releases and ever shinier skins to charge people for.

Trump’s Visit

Friendly reminder that when Trump visits the Alaska Airlines Center on October 1st (along with shutting down UAA’s consortium library for a ‘private event’) he will leave Anchorage in even more debt.

Trump’s campaign stop for Dan Sullivan is being funding by you, not the Republican Party.

This had better be a glitch...

Did they actually remove what little incentive there was to climb in Master..? Of course, the Legend reward is still there, but I'm gonna be pissed if their next move is to do away with the Background, Frame, and Sticker rewards for progress in Master.

The main reason I suspect it might be a glitch is because I did already unlock the Avatar Outfit for starting off in Ultra, even though it doesn't show up on the "Season Rewards" list.

My genuine reaction to Greedent still being at the top of the meta after several days

Like, props to the squirrel and all, but like, dang. This is a weird meta, and I guess that's cool? For some reason, I hate the squirrel way less than Sableye, even though they serve a very similar role of "general nuisance"
