    Hey all! In the spirit of not misinforming people if there are any corrections/updates to this story I'll update it here!
    Edit: so based off what a lot of you are saying this game has been around in some form or another for 7 years not 2! Thanks for letting me know!
    Also for the love of God, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME
    Even if you don't plan on spending money, it can steal data from your phone. If you've ever logged into an account on your phone it puts your passwords at risk, if you've ever made a purchase on your phone it puts your financials at risk. A pretty animation you can look up on YT ain't worth getting your passwords stolen

      I think I found the game under a new name, and now they seem to be abusing a fatal flaw of the play store's features, now it is listed as early access, what this means is that nobody can post reviews, therefore, you can't look through the reviews to find anyone telling you the huge scam it is.

    There are actually ads all over youtube of games using OFFICIAL POKEMON FOOTAGE. This seems crazy to me, seeing as Nintendo is normally so protective of their copyrights. I wonder how these people and UA-cam itself are getting away with this...

    • @Peelster1
      @Peelster1 10 місяців тому +1

      UA-cam has a clause in their ToS where they aren't responsible. It's why whenever anyone pretends to be a company and issues a takedown they just do it without checking if the takedown is from a legitimate source, so they can't be held responsible. With the sheer number of videos they can't catch 'em all.

      It's because while these animations look good, they are also simpler... they are also made over YEARS and put individually and then just gathered together....
      Not to mention that with the exception of their base animations from previous gens, they have to be lore accurate.
      Honestly, it instead just shows that Gamefreak should probably use 2d and 3d in their battles...

This is the case for Honkai Star Rail with Asta, Genshin Impact with Noelle(if you decide to roll on the beginner banner that is), Solo Leveling ARISE with Song Chiyul, Wuthering Waves with Chixia, and etc etc. So this is not at all proof of them rigging the rates of the game, this is just a common gacha mechanic. And the whole cryogenal thing is just bad luck.

    This story hit me hard, and probably has traumatized me from ever spending money on games again.
    When I was like 5 or 6 I played this game that I think was called Shark Dash. I found out that if I clicked on the plus symbol next to the gold, and then click on another button, I would get more gold. Later on I would find out that that actually close real money and I probably ended up spending around a thousand dollars. It’s absolutely scummy how in game purchases didn’t need any verification back then and children could just spend thousands without knowing.
    Anyway that’s the story of how I’ll never spend any money on games ever again

    There At Least 2 Games Like This For Dragon Ball
    And 2 For Digimon, One It Looks Like 3D Assets And The Other Is Basically Like This One With 2D Art/Sprites? Whatever (The Only Thing I Remember Is The Knock Off "Susanoomon" Using His "Ama-No-Habakiri" And Cutting Earth In Half, But This One Game I Cant Actually Find It)

      Yeah feels like the video was just not well researched enough and very badly put together. The only thing you need to actually know about this game is that it's not official or licensed and therefore you should not spend money on it. That's it. And as for the stealing data thing, Facebook and other huge social media apps already do that and on a much larger scale and I doubt it'd cause any real damage or harm especially since it's a very popular game in East Asia and if it caused a huge issue then a massive scandal would've come out by now, and if you're really scared just use a throwaway email lol.

    I'm glad I mentioned this game to my friends after I found it last night because they sent me this video, it was the exact game under a different name, I thought it was neat but I was skeptical by how good the animations were, the second I found out they're asking to make phone calls on your behalf and steal your information, I deleted it, and the other app I played that was similar. Luckily for me, I chose to make my accounts with them with my side emails with passwords I use as link codes for dynamax adventures lmao! and I've never linked payment methods to my phone or the email account that I used, so they're SOL with me!

    I feel like there is much more to do outside of Nintendo's grasp to officially stop this "phenomenon". Devs like these, pushing their limits between legal and Illegal movements, that could lead to more limitations on other devs, and even future devs, on what they can or can't do. For example, this could lead to Nintendo making the Pokémon IP have a lot more heavy copyright, which would not only affect developers of fan games that utalize characters from the IP (for example, a fan game that adds fakemon as well as offical Pokémon in a new or reimagined region), but could also affect a lot of people, who either has a character as the theme of their online identity (like me), or utalizes a personal character that is highly based off the copyrighted character. These scummy devs deserve extreme punishment, especially when they take something, like a light-ish copyrighted IP (I'm saying light-ish due to the ammount of fan games and content that utalizes the characters under the Pokémon IP), and put their money predatory perspectives onto young children, who are most likely the only people who would fall for it due to the lack of scam education, and have the chance to ruin the whole IP access restrictions for everyone else, especially the ones who make their games out of passion and dont expect much monitozation; I was planning to use a more heavy and harsh descriptive than "scummy", but I'd rather keep things PG, ans would only go as high as PG-13 depending on the content.

  • @starg09
    @starg09 10 місяців тому +8

    Really nice video!
    Wanna add a small extra detail on the gem prices section starting at 12:20, from the perspective of a former gacha player (not of the super known ones you mentioned, though still decently "reputable" ones - plus most follow a similar pattern): Those packs do seem disproportionate at first, but it's while at the initial purchase stage. That "firstX2" is pretty roughly translated but it's usual that the games offer you as a starting player double the gems/quartz/etc you buy for the first couple purchases of each pack. After those, the ratio of "extra gems" plummets dramatically.
    As an example, Magia Record from Aniplex would offer more than 100% bonus gems on the smaller packages - but for the big one, it'd go from the "One Time Only" 1000 Magia Stones (560 paid + 440 free) to 750 (560+190) for the same low price of... 69.99
    Yeah the pricing wasn't very healthy there either. And that was 3-4 10x rolls lmao
    Just to mention the smaller one, it'd go from 50 stones (8 paid + 42 free) for 0.99 to 8 for the same price, no bonus. Small bonus starting at around the 15 USD packages, and even then a small one like the pack mentioned above.

    Now there are 30-50 s+ mons and 4 SS 😂
    Latest added mon is shiny mega gengar last October and shiny mega tyranitar nov 11 😂
    So they do add mons you just played on a day/ weeks that there is no red draw / legendary summons
    For f2p standpoint it will reach day one to week 2 of grinding lvl 50 to save up 19k diamond to get 1 s+ pokemon
    They do have pity system but they don't have what rate do you get certain mon
    For example for legendary summon
    You need to summon 75 to 80 times or 8 10 draw in a legendary banner to get an s+
    19k diamonds
    Thats basically the pity you can't get it early from 1 to 70 draw
    Its either you whale hard or know how to save
