Hot Take: This mode is actually one of the most enjoyable I’ve had in a while

Note that I’m speaking about this in a perspective of playing with friends only (because random matchmaking SUCKS no matter what mode it is)

Now I’ve already seen the posts, so I can already imagine what everyone is going to say: it’s incredibly luck and RNG-based, and you can run into teams using top meta characters while you’re stuck with low meta characters. And I’m not going to deny that at all. But personally, it actually is what made it fun for me.

The experience is very similar to a Pokemon nuzlocke, having to make do with what you are given and overcome the challenges that you go against. And here, given a pool of 8 brawlers, I’m finding myself strategizing with my friends with brainstorming a team that can do best in each map. And it’s really fun finding myself strategizing with brawlers that I don’t play as often, and matching them with other unfamiliar brawlers.

Adding onto this, this is an incredibly fresh breath of air as I’m finally not having to constantly go against the most meta brawlers and facing them EVERY SINGLE MATCH, as because of the limited pool and once per game, it’s alot less common to see the exact same brawlers every time. I’m sure many of you kept on going against frustrating brawlers but personally I only ever saw like one meta and then two other uncommon brawlers every match.

And lastly, that it’s not a trophy mode but also gives rewards. It’s just a challenge but with extra steps, and you don’t lose anything if you lose. On top of that you get all the brawlers maxed, which is super nice as well.

People say that they should’ve just made everyone have the same pool, but I disagree because that would 99% just end up in facing mirror matches every single game which is much less fun and interesting. If it was just a daily challenge mode, then very likely you would go against meta brawlers every single time (and so would you). This is SO much better than many of the past modes so far, such as the contests (no explanation needed), 3 player cooking (fun and all but unrewarding), etc.

Also unrelated but I just realized the thing showing what brawlers you used is bugged, as I used Grom on the last stage, not Bull.

TIL Smokescreen works like grass / smokebombs from Arceus

You can tell because of the darkened vignette while being in the smokescreen. (“The user cloaks the area in a cloud of smoke or ink. Those within the cloud will be undetectable to wild Pokémon”) Genuinely wish they made this a mechanic or sorts that you could easily use, especially when avoiding trainers or something.

It’s pretty cool learning about random niche stuff in this game even after hundreds of hours

TIL there’s this sidequest that’s hidden and you can easily miss

Randomly running around while filling my living dex and just decided to talk to this npc offering an item and it turned into a sidequest with no indication lol

I think we can all agree this is our reaction when this happens

Also sorry I ate all the pixels I was hungry

I under-estimated Item Power: Treasure for money

Came across an Item Power Treasure 3 + Big Haul 3 while resetting for berry donuts, and went “eh why not I’m dead broke constantly”.

Ended up getting 900k worth of treasure (was initially empty) from an eevee special scan, which was way more than I was expecting (and works out since I could get the xp for another special scam while breaking floating pokeballs)

u/eggdragon42 — 2 months ago

It’s neat to see how some of the side-quests update over time

For example, in a sidequest this guy takes in 4 beldums, and after the side quest and some tine later they evolve into 2 metang, which then evolves into a metagross

The only other one I can think of that’s kind of like this is the Goodbye Gengar one in the DLC in which it ends with the guy deciding that it was his fault for not asking Gengar to be his partner before he disappeared, but if you come back to the guy’s office/apartment, he shows that Gengar came back

Are there any other ones like this?

u/eggdragon42 — 3 months ago

Right here, right now!

friend told me people were camping there, so I just decided to ult

he said I might've pushed them into the teleporter, so I had to check the replay

unfortunately we lost since they basically rotated but that would've been godly if we were planting at B or something
