DP Counting: Keeping Track of Training?

[✡ K U R O N E K O —]

Hello there, fellow Tamers! 

So, okay, since I'm a newbie here, I thought it would be a good idea to start reading some threads about 'Training', so I could compare my daily training-routine with the more-experienced players and, well... I kinda started having some serious doubts! 


...
First, and most important of all: how exactly are you guys counting your DP-usage?

As you all probably know, '1 point of DP' equals two 'Classic Training'-sessions; so, after consuming, I don't know, '10 points of DP'... to you guys, would that mean I trained "10 times", or "20 times"? 

I keep reading things like "train 100 times a day" or "train 200 times a day", and I don't know if that means I have to use '100 points of DP' per day or, literally, shoot 100 fireballs per day (using, therefore, '50 points of DP' per day). 

You see, I have this [GIROMON] with 35 DP, and I like to think a 'Training-Cycle' is only concluded after his DP goes to zero -- which means I completed 'Classic Training' exactly 70 times. Approximately '20 times a day' I repeat this sequence, so what? Does that mean I trained my Giromon '700 times', or '1.400 times'? What do you guys think?

1 point = 2 classic
so 10 points = 20 classic

Im so confused...gona do a bit of maths

Why dont you train using pendulum and get megahits as 1 megahit = 4 training and 1 megahit = 0.5DP point lost

In the first two months or so of the game, I used to train exclusively on Pendulum, but... well, I don't know, I think I was having too many difficulties in shaking my phone properly (yeah, I was that dumb), so I found myself at that time stuck doing only 'Classic Training', over and over again.

After that, I discovered 'Speed Training', and how doing four sessions of 'Classic Training' consecutively was less time-consuming than doing one 'Pendulum Training', and here I am today -- frankly? I only use 'Pendulum Training' now in order to prepare myself for going at online matches. I think it's too much slow and frustrating to train with Pendulum, but I guess that's just a matter of opinion and style.

. . .
And yeah, I'm confused too!

try reading the thread above for some help

Most people stick with classic training as it is very fast but can be annoying if you cant get megahits (for the megahits - try shaking 9 times,if still super hit, then reduce the number of times until you get megahits -but be warn, sometime you can make double shake)

Yeah,some people prefer classic and some pendulum. It depends on you. I usually used pendulum as training as I can get arund 100 megahits a day (at work that is) and at home less than 100, im married already (yeah, i know...still playing

But just keep using classic if that what you used to and do not change

If I say I trained 5k times a day,it should be indicating 5000 classic trainings.
If I say I trained 1k megahits a day,it should be indicating 4000 classic trainings.

I used to have a portable counter to keep track of my trainings. Now Im using my phone memo and recording and updating the trainings as I go. To do know how much training or megahits u did in one full dp, well for example my pal here has 50dp, if I do classic I did 25 megahits and if I do pendulum I did 100 megahits. Coz 4 classic=1 megahit depleting 1dp every 2 classic training whereas pendulum u deplete 1dp for every 2 megahits. Now if u wanna know how many classic u did just x4 ur total no.of megahits. Example I did 1000 megahits,  x4 of that I did 4000 classics.

I used memo too,but my way of recording is a bit differrent.I will type a "q" for one full bar of dp in the memo till 5 "q"s are accumulated then I will update my training times.

I do the same thing, except I use S-note on my phone, and I just make a "tally" mark for every bar done, so when I've done five I erase them and add 600 megahits to my count (Have 60 dp)
