Well, I'm used to floppage, so it doesn't bother me, but it's interesting that everyone wanted to move on from Kalos really fast but, like, move on to where exactly, straight to gen 8? 1
PillowCase Posted August 22 Posted August 22 This ball business is a kerfuffle. It's too complicated and I don't like that there are few pokemon you can give the net ball or fast ball to. Gives a huge advantage to a select few and at that point what is the point? To watch the 6 monsters with a base speed over 100 dominate the top 10? At the same time participating in this rate and not using the balls just makes your ballott have less impact therefore that is not a valid path either. It's demotivating.
Curaga Posted August 22 Posted August 22 Oh, I felt the opposite I thought the balls added a new element of fun to the same old routine and made it more interesting for me. I don't think it's going to give an imabalance because two of the biggest score boosters (Master and Ultra) can go to any Pokémon, and if people don't care about any Fast/Net Ball Pokémon, they can just not assign them. I feel like we're going to see people's real favorites in the top instead of only all the Bug/Water/fast Pokémon, but I guess we'll see! I guess maybe there aren't many Ultra Beasts to choose from, but I wanna see the mess/see who gets a bunch of boosts and sabotage nn 2

So far there's only one fast ball Pokemon in top 10, and there'll be a Poke Ball-less list at the end of the rate, so people will be free to choose which version they like better. 1

I can barely access ATRL nowadays because of all the site issues so unless someone else wants to host Sword / Shield rate...

Yeah, that's also a huge problem, but I can't even move the deadline because who knows when it's going to stop. The new banner seems promising, though. - Anyway, like @Curaga said, the idea is that the Pokemon people actually care about will prevail, and ideally, top 10 will be dominated by the ones with most Master Balls thrown at them. There might be some mons with plenty of Fast Balls or Beast Balls, too, but only because people cared enough to use them on those particular mons. It's worth pointing out that they get 10s regardless, that's why the ranking without the Balls is ultimately not that different. And if there are mons whose potential payola you're concerned about, well, tank them. It's a Poke Ball game. Play dirty. 2
Curaga Posted August 23 Posted August 23 Yesss I can't wait to see the tankery with the use of the Beast Balls 1 1

Conker Posted August 23 Posted August 23 Try bookmarking/favoriting a topic on ATRL and then wait for it to load, and then click the "Entertainment" tab and it should take you back to the front page section of the "Entertainment" tab. That's my little remedy that I think worked for me. 1

Suilen Posted August 23 Author Posted August 23 There may be more now though people don't necessarily use Fast Balls on them.

queenp Posted August 24 Posted August 24 (edited) Lunala counts like an ultra beast? Or using the beast ball for that will make it tank? Edited August 24 by queenp
