The champions aren't available at release???

Right now they aren't included. Five more will be added for the full release, but who knows who they are. Maybe all the Champions, excluding Alder who hasn't been seen anywhere.

They'll be unlocked through story.

 

[Silktree]

That isn't a fact, and there will be post-release chapters, too.

I haven't been paying attention to this thread, so I don't know yet if anyone has already posted this. But apparently, the daily discount scouts require that you use paid for gems.

That's pretty damning for a mobile app game, honestly. My interest has zapped.

The English/Japanese cast for the game has been revealed. Looks like we were right about some of the specific talent, but there's also some I personally didn't expect.

So how much will it be for 100 Gems?

I don't know. I'm not the one who took that screenshot.

So which one will you be betting to be voicing Gardenia?

The discount in Fire Emblem Heroes is much less significant (20 orbs for 5 summons if done consecutively, instead of 25 normally). Do you have examples for fairer gacha games?

Masters has scouting events where if you collect 400 Scout Points within 40 days, you get to pick your summoned partner. This seems doable if you play about an hour a day. Other than that, it's probably best not to insist on any particular character and just go with the flow.

I've never played Gacha Games, I heard that they are hocking games. I only want two characters anyway. Gardenia who is 4 stars so she's 20% hire-able, and Cynthia.

I’d say either Christine Marie Cabanos or Xanthe Huynh.

Do they have jolly sounding voices?

Christine has voiced a lot of happy-go-lucky girls, but I can’t say the same for Xanthe. Regardless, Gardenia came off as a lot more even-tempered than her pokeani voice, so I picked these two not only because they sounded similar to her, but they have also played similar roles in the past.

The Galar Region cast will most likely be added sometime next year or the year after.

Well, the point I was trying to make is that many gatcha app games give free gems, or whatever else currency they use, through in-game missions and such (albeit in much limited quantities but still sustainable if you spend them wisely). And those free gems can still be used in summon mechanics just the same.

Whereas Masters is basically locking certain (or perhaps all?) gatcha mechanics to purchased gems only. That's the unfair part.

Bang Zoom eh? And here I was thinking they'd just get Cup of Tea on board likewise with Fire Emblem Heroes but it's good to see them get another shot at the franchise after Detective Pikachu.

Also

Spoiler

Ray Chase and Alejandro Saab in MA FREAKIN POKEMON!

This is already an instant win for me!

 

[Grass Type Gardenia]

The games seem to look more generous than most other Gacha Games, especially if you can buy any sync pair you want after gaining 400 Scout Points. (133 - 134 moves in battle)

That is definitely not true. I was able to summon four characters yesterday without paying a cent. Gems are unlocked through story chapters, training and missions (which are just things you'd normally do) and you get 10 gems just for logging in once a day. Sometimes they even give you 50 or 100 gems for logging in, as a special bonus.

Two summons a day is probably the norm. I got four since linking to a Nintendo Account unlocks 600 gems.

There’s something I just found out today on Serebii.

Spoiler

Pokemon do not get unique sync moves until they reach their highest stage of evolution. Anything below that is referred to as “[Type] Sync Impact/Beam”. Unfortunately, since the Player Character and Brock’s Pokémon have unique sync moves by default, they appear to be the only two who cannot use their partner’s evolutions.
