Pokemonday's Gonna Build A Wall And Make Lombre Pay For It! · 5:02am Aug 1st, 2016
Welcome to Pokemonday! There's a lot to cover today, but before we get into that:
The Mythical Pokemon Giveaway for August begins today and runs through August 24th. This month's Pokemon is Arceus. If you want to get the God of all Pokemon in your copy of Pokemon X/Y/OR/AS, you'll need to go to GameStop and get a serial code card (it's free) before August 24th.
Arceus comes with the moves Judgment, Hyper Beam, Restore, and Perish Song.
And now, let's get into this week's news for Pokemon Shuffle.
Pokemon Shuffle
...are you kidding me with this shit?
Last week, we finally got a new batch of main stages after I don't know how the fuck long, and more than half of them are Pokemon from the first 200 or so stages which, for whatever insane reason, they thought we'd want to have to beat again for no reason except to earn those "special skill boosters"--for weak, shit Pokemon absolutely nobody actually uses. And, to add insult to injury, they gave them all stage 400+ difficulty, making them kind of a pain in the ass to grind through. (And really--I dunno about you guys? But aside from Ampharos and Gengar, I almost never use any Pokemon that didn't come from the EX or SP stages anymore. I maybe use Aerodactyl or Aurorus like...actually yesterday was the first time I used Aerodactyl in months.)

Well, Pokemon Shuffle's just gonna keep on adding more levels.
Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it soon has over eight-hundred levels in some future updates. It's like friggen Candy Crush all over again...
As an unrelated topic, I have been playing Yokai Watch an awful lot. Are you still playing that, or have you finished/lost interest in that game?
4125880 I beat the game a long time ago; all I have left to do are to mop up some rare Youkai I haven't collected yet, but I've pretty much stopped doing the endgame stuff for the time being, yeah. I'm gonna return to it in September and at least finish Infinite Inferno, however, because Yo-Kai Watch 2 is coming out on September 30, which will mean the return of the Yo-Kai Wednesday Blog.
4125906 I will admit, I'm kinda stuck on 5th Circle. Dr. Nogut is a pain in the ass with how many times he uses Blood Refill, and for how much it heals him. But maybe I just need to level up my Yokai a bit more.
Oh, and just so you know, my set-up at the moment is as follows:
Blizzaria
Thornyan
Sir Berus
Tunatic
Venoct
Quaken
Looking forward to Yokai Watch 2. I just hope befriending the Yokai is a little easier this time, though. Had to face the bloody things twenty or so times in the first one until they'd be my friends...
4125914 With that team I'm honestly surprised you even made it that far. O_o;; Tunatic, you should've swapped out before you even finished the game. Blizzaria's okay but if you can get Damona from the Crank-A-Kai you'll be better off. Thornyan, you should replace with Shogunyan. I'd dump Quaken for Komane or Komashura, and Sir Berus for Tengu.
That's just what I'd do.
(My current team: Damona, Casanuva, Tengu, Komashura, Mama Aura, Shogunyan. I can reliably take down the Red Oni with that team; my old team could reliably take down the Blue Oni, but Damona and Komashura aren't quite up to the levels of the Youkai they replaced yet.)
4125978 I would get Shogunyan, but trying to get Happierre and Castelius III to activate the seals is a pain in the ass, and Casanuva is doing jack s**t to help me befriend those two...
4125999 Castellius III is easy to get, and Happiere...yeah, I'll admit he took me a while too, but you just have to keep going into that one area of trees. It's worth it, trust me.
I gotcha I'll head over within the hour unless you got one already
4126677 Already covered, but thanks.
4126680 alright I feel disappointed in myself that I couldn't this for you this time
4126686 Eh, don't sweat it.
Semi off-topic, but Sun & Moon seem to be shaping up to be giving you loads to work with when you get around to continuing Pokemon: Harmony & Chaos, don't they? (And that isn't a passive-aggressive request for a bump; sorry if it seems like one.) By the way, what do you think of this?
4128152 Eh, dunno how much I'll incorporate from Sun/Moon. Also, cute pic.
