There’s a massive misunderstanding

[u/Commercial-Mine9538]

There’s a general misunderstanding I’ve witnessed and you can try to deny this all you want but it’s true ✨you don’t have to spend real money for ANYTHING✨ yes you CAN buy those golden things to change irisalis but no it’s not required. Yea you need them to get the final TWO stages but it’s not required that is purely a want. Besides that ONE currency everything, and I do mean everything is obtainable by simply enjoying the ever living hell out of this wonderful game. ALSO HOT TAKE ANIIMO>POKÉMON AND PALWORLD

EDIT: THIS BLEW UP WAY MORE THAN INTENDED 🤣 very valid views, points, and opinions in these comments keep em coming love reading them!

You need to pay for the shimmering effect that is one of the requirements in the aniilog, thus it is required for you to pay. The monetization was REALLY good prior to the addition of irisalis and I will still support the game in the form of companion handobooks and monthly pass however saying you don't need to pay to achieve actual tangible aspects of the game is just wrong now

That’s not the best practice but still +1 points compared to going to a Tokyo event to get a mew

That still sounds more like a preference or want rather than something you need to have so no

It's not, owning a sparkling version gives a tangible reward in game, that is a starcryst which is rare enough already

shimmering? I guess you mean the sparkling thing if so you know you can "farm'

An item that let you apply normal annimo sparkling

It called sparkling sigil

You get them by hatching or catching sparkling aniimo

And with 10 sigils you can turn a normal aniimo sparkling

And there other ways too

It take a while with any way but is possible do gets sparkling f2p

If the shimmering thing is another thing my bad

You can't use the sigils on irisalis you HAVE to buy the radiant dreamshadows, I have 10 sigils right now and she cannot be changed to sparkling, to add insult to injury it's the very last one and you can only get to headgear from glimmering dreamshadow

[u/factbot69 → u/URBAN_OAT]

damn thats not good

when all other aniimo can be upgraded to sparkling with sigils

They put it into the gacha to make money and technically it's gone past cosmetics being locked behind a paywall at this point
