Pokemon Shuffle |OT| Every Day I'm Shuffling

Wow, it works. Thank you very much.
This game is too much fun to be free, and I like you can just keep playing every few hours without having to spend money, this is a fun little diversion, I feel it won´t be as fun If I had paid for it and play it all in one sitting, as I usually do, makes you value the few trys you have.
They still use them in Steel Diver, and even loosened the restrictions on free players after tightening them in a previous patch. Different devs though. I wish they would use a more friendly and honest f2p model though, which gives you some fun for free but actual value in paying for something. This model essentially limits what you can do artificially so that you're paying for the game as a service basically and have nothing to really show for the money you spend. I really do think it all comes down to them needing to give people who will never spend a dime on this game the option of paying $10 for infinite hearts and then watch the money pour in from those of us who like the game but hate the f2p model it uses, meanwhile whales can still pay real money to increase their coins.
It's weird because Denpa Men, which is also developed by Genius Sonority, is pretty lively if a bit on the simple side. But Shuffle and Trozei both feel like they just threw some Pokemon paint on something else.
I was and still am on the fence for P&D. The Mario version looks very tempting though. I've played a bit of P&D on iOS and it got kind of confusing fast. Hopefully the console versions don't have that issue. Shuffle definitely makes me want to give it another chance though.
First, I'm guessing you're using a regular 3DS and not a n3DS. SSB closes like any other game on n3DS, but I've been juggling this with MH4U and that's not exactly the type of game you can just mash B til you're at the title screen and then hit the home button. It's easy enough to save in MH4U but you really don't want to quit mid-session, compared to if the system had multitasking and you could just switch over.
However, I don't think I'd want to play Shuffle with my finger, particularly on the EX stages. I like using a stylus for these type of games.

Still at Mega Glalie...
Here too. Very easy
Me. Mainly, you need power. I had Scyther, Combusken, Chatot and a level 5 Torchic.
A Great Ball and a little of luck will do the rest.
Yes. But I only A-ranked it. And got lucky with the pokéball.
Caught him at 7%
Me too.
And I've attempted Grovyle 6 times this morning, all at 7%. No dice. I refuse to move on until I have him though.
I've been fiddling with this, I'm not very far in. I think I caught Sableye last. But I had a question: aside from a damage increase, is there any incentive to leveling specific characters? I have a couple of dudes that hit for 53, but then I caught Klefki and he does 60 right off the bat. Should I be grinding out levels I already beat so I can have stronger characters for specific types, or is is better to just keep plugging away at new stages and picking the characters with type advantages?

Still can't catch Meowth and Riolu. I gotta catch 'em all, dammit.

Yes, levels don't give a big enough boost to offset type advantages.

Still stuck at mega mawile ;_;
Even went through the trouble of getting Charizard, and with a team of Lucario/Combusken/Charizard/Charmeleon, yet still nothing.

Oh nice to know that.
You can? I had no idea, I though it was just 1000 coins for clearing the stage the first time.

Yep, definitely works. Just beat Mew for a second time a short bit ago and I got another 1000 coins.

I'm up to stage 59 with everything caught and S ranked but this fucking Ivysaur is killing me.
To S rank it I have to beat the stage in a single move and I just can't see how it's possible, even with a team full of Level 5 'mons.
EDIT: Damn so we could've farmed Mew for 21,000 coins if we'd known from the start? Annoying, but I'll start now

Seriously. I had a Lv. 6 mega Pokemon + Lv. 4 Lucario, Charizard, & Combusken, and it was still a damn challenge. So glad to no longer deal with that stage again.
What stage is this? I'm dreading it.
Mega Mawile is Stage 90.
D'oh. Nearly there.

Let's see if Lucario can bring a change...
So, I just got to the point where I unlocked the option to "Check In" which gave me access to the Mew and Daily Pokemon stages. The latter event ends tomorrow which means I probably missed a bunch of exclusives? Hm, it says 'The Daily Pokemon #1' so maybe I can still get them. This timer, though..
You only missed the one rotom, who'm I'm pretty sure is going to be available next monday.
edit. from the first post.

Thanks, I actually just misread the date, haha. My bad!
What makes you so sure that the Rotoms are gonna repeat btw?
This note on the official site makes me nervous
Hoping they mean patch

Hoping they mean patch
What else could it be?
I'm pretty sure they are referring to the 1.0.2 patch that we already got because they mention we'll get a free jewel with it. I guess the only way to update the game is using the check-in button so the eShop version is still at 1.0.0.
I wonder why they haven't been uploading patches to the eShop until now. It can't be because the game is F2P because Steel diver is F2P too, and it has received many updates on the eShop.

Maaaan thought Charizard would help with Mega Glalie; I was wrong.
Hope so. Just fear it'll be an update to the game in general to add more Pokémon.
I doubt it. It's too soon. Most people haven't cleared all stages, and we have the daily pokemon event until the end of March.
Yes, I'm using the regular one. Yet another point in favour of upgrading to a n3DS...
To be clear I am still playing this game when I can, my arguments notwithstanding! Although I just reached Mega Mawile and got destroyed so I think I'm going to be backing it up to catch the ones I missed.
Riolu's one's of the only fighting types and helps on normals. He made megalopunny easier along with Hawlucha.
I'm pretty sure that level is impossible without spending coins on +5 moves.
Yeah I'm thinking monthly updates for the next four months or so
Reached Mega Glalie.
Will try once I get my 5 moves back and see if it's as hard as people say.
Also, I'm 7 hours in so far with nothing bought / no gem used, and have cleared 120 stages with 105 mons captured.
I feel like the catch rate and catchability are actually pretty reasonable, but it just might be dumb luck.
