Topic: Pokemon Shuffle

@Morpheel: I have over 215 hours on Animal Crossing but at the end of that time I asked myself why.......now I think I might know the answer. Thanks for the insight. Now I need to go clense myself with some more EO2 Untold er or Puzzles and Dragons. Dang it!!

You think you are becoming a casual player because you have spent over 100 hours playing a game???

Nothing to do with time spent, more the type of game i've been dedicating to that time spent. It's been far too easy for me to just pop open my 3ds with the kids home all day and play in short bursts. I can say i played well over 200 hours on MH4U and a good 40 or so in Splatoon so there is still hope for me yet.

So you are turning into a casual for playing a Match-3 game?

@DefHalan: It was more of a joke with my time spent playing a free 2 play game more then anything. I know i'm not going casual anytime soon. Sorry for the confusion.

I was kinda messing with you. I am just tired that people see Free-to-Play and assume it is casual. I am also tired of people saying being "casual" is bad or playing certain games makes you "casual."

@DefHalan: If anything my game time is more casual then I'd like it to be. 5 to 15 mins here and there is not enough but it's what it is for now.

I can usually game at night for hours but by then I'm so tired I usually just pass and go to sleep. I did stay up a couple days recently to 3am playing Splatoon though. Paid for it the next day as I'm usually up by 7.

On the new escalation battle, levels 35, 55, and 75 are coin grabs. About a third of the level is coins, and coins are added as disruptions. You have to beat the level to keep the coins. Mega Banette with some Ghost Pokemon have netted me nearly 2k on levels 35 and 55.

I am only 8 streetpasses away from hitting 500 in Pokemon Shuffle

@DefHalan: I'm 26 from 800

@Spoony_Tech: fine, I admit, you are better than me lol jk

@DefHalan: Doesn't hurt I loaded up the game on my kids 3ds's. I get anywhere from 3 to 9 passes a day.

@Spoony_Tech: Lucky. I only get about 2 to 4 a day at work. Although I have started to clear them asap in order to try to get more lol

I'm just over 900, because like Tech, I have multiple 3DSes in the house.

So, I got to level 100 of the escalation battles so I could get next Mega Speedup, but won't go for the next at 200. Way too much of an investment, I guess the levels start to get really tough around 150, where you actually have to use powerups.

Going to make a Normal type run at the Blaziken competition. I've been leveling my guys up since yesterday and have them all at 8. Not sure if I can get them to MAX by the time it ends on Sunday. We shall see.

I am still working on catching some expert pokemon and S-Ranking a ton of levels. If I ever catch up I would love to get max coins and start getting max levels. However, at the rate they keep adding things, I will never catch up lol

I caught Cresselia, but I can't beat mega glaile or kyogre.

@DefHalan: I feel the same way and this past week brought a lot to do to take me away from other things but I'll get all those special ones eventually.

Yay I finally caught victini.

If anyone checked in late last night when they updated (as a lot of people do after a mega stone competition/weekly update) you might have missed out on collecting your Blazikenite stone from the competition that just ended yesterday, but you should receive it the next time you are able to check in (tomorrow, or late night tonight for Americans). This only appears to have affected people who checked in within ten minutes of the update time last night. https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonShuffle/comments/3eqqq0/when_...

@Klimbatize:
My ghost Pokemons are at level 7 and better and I barely made it (with no powerups) over 50 levels. I'm using Gengar, Mega Banette, Giratina and Misdreavous (to interfere with Cresselia's attacks). All of them ar at level 7 or better (Gengar is at level 8 and Giratina is at 9). I haven't used any powerups yet, but I don't think I can get to level 100 in time. Any advice?
