are you me?

>>264078920
I tried playing the DS version but it felt a little too grindy for me so I gave up. Did you have to grind in this game or am I just missing something obvious?

If you think the original Mystery Dungeon is feels worthy go play Explorers of Sky

>>264079418
I rarely had to grind, save for the middle section where you are on the run from the other teams, but that was mostly for items and shit

>>264078920
Easily the best pokemon game for the handheld systems.

>Explorers of Sky
One of the best games on the DS. The new mystery dungeon was what made me finally get a 3DS... so fucking disappointed.

>>264081063
Explorers of Sky is better than Red/Blue.

>>264081990
holy shit i just beat the game and now i see it gets posted here , i thought the ending of red was better though.
is there a difference between sky and the other ds games? dark and something idk.

>>264082291
sky is to time/darkness as yellow is to red/blue, etc.

>>264082291
There is a different ending for blue version?

Play Sky, OP. Holy fuck, was I not ready for the feels that game brought.

>>264078920
One of my favorite games of all time.
Though I was like 12-14 when it came out or something(don't remember when it came out) and I was/am a huge pokefag, so naturally I too cried at the ending

I was only like eleven when I played the game and I wasn't sad at the ending at all. Same goes for Explorers. Good games, though.

Funny enough the story in Gates actually got me a bit choked up while the game itself wasn't quite as good.

Get good m8, I didn't have to grind a single level and even then I thought it was rather simple. It helps that MD plays like an easy roguelike and I was piplup and my partner a vulpix though. Some pokemon like skitty (is that what it's called?) are pretty weak in this game and you can get screwed over.

What? That wasn't the case in any of the games. Are you just talking about the improved shortcut system? And leveling moves was good, as were some other improvements, but there were many steps back too. Like overall difficulty and the horrendously small amount of meaningful post-game content, or some of the good new features being locked to said post-game with nothing to motivate you to actually play it.

The plot, characters, and things like that were fine. On par with Explorers.

Explorers of Dark/Time/Sky
Gates to Infinity (only worth it if you want a good story + good music)

I got the feels like a bitch when Chatot saved everyone from Kabutops. I really liked the characters in Explorers of Sky.

>>264087383
The entire thing about Gengar and Gardevoir was that It is suggested Gengar was at one point and time a human you knew, who also became a pokemon, hench his endless distaste, but unwillingness to let you outright go. Gardevoir was one of the pokemon you had when you where a human as it sacrificed itself for you. This is why it's utterly depressing when she comes back and has no memory's of anything.

>>264086898

The whole thing was that Gengar was the Gardevoir's master, who was cursed into being a pokemon by Ninetales. It's outright stated in the post-game, and it explains why he's so eager to get you kicked out- he wants someone else to take the blame for him fucking up.

Wow someone came up with valid criticism. I have to disagree to an extent with the first point made because you can evolve before you can do the optional challenging content (the Zero isles, that 100 floor tower, etc.) and the foot minigame didn't bother me much personally, but I think we can agree with the rest.

>>264089997
One idea I saw on /vp/ at one point was playing off the RPG archetypes of the Kalos starters, the three being your main party with you choosing which one your character becomes while the other two are partners with their own personalities, so that depending on your starter story events will play out slightly differently between the personalities of your two partners and how they clash with each other and you the blank slate.

>>264090671
there's signs of abandoned human civilization in all the games and that's where they come from

>>264090734
why would they have to cut corners because of that?
it's made by an entirely different team

the only reasons I think was because it was a fairly early 3DS game, and early console games are never at their full potential, or they just didn't have the budget or time to flesh it out as much as the previous games AND have it in 3d

I would be perfectly fine with them reusing the XY assets for pokemon models in a new PMD if it means that can put effort into the actual game

>>264088508

Add more unique gimmick dungeons, like the Zero isles or Destiny tower. But, not just "You're reset to lvl 1", have something more creative or interesting, like your moveset or typing each floor is randomized or each floor you advance you go down a level (for that dungeon alone)

The game was rushed out the door so there was only five starters, and having a personality test for five choices is just silly.

Though at this point there'd be so many starters the personality test wouldn't cover them all. I'd solve that by having each nature give you a pool of selections.

The ending of Explorers of Darkness actually made me shed a tear. I was seriously surprised that a Pokemon game had a substantial plot, much less with twists, much much less with legitimately sad moments.

the definition of artificial difficulty; its only hard because you need to tear up your screen then wait for another chance, especially the lame shit with all 3 bosses at the end. The bosses in Shadows of Almia were much better because they could interrupt you and force you to find small openings, not wait and do it all at once

I think that was kind of the point in a way. They wanted to please all of the kiddies with an entry level EZ mode story and then all of the actual challenge came from the post game content when every dungeon was 100 floor minimum.

>>264094371
The actual postgame in Explorers started after the whole Darkrai arc to be honest. And there was absolutely nothing else to do after it.

Yes it is
We all know Sunflora already got the dick from Crogunk and Loudred

>>264095245
Took me way too long to do that. Was there even much of a point?

Just keep doing guild missions and eventually the story will progress

>>264091857
You know that really makes me wish there was a special story involving your partner's journey alone. I imagine the final dungeon of that story could be them climbing a tower to meet Arceus promising to bring them back only to erase the partner's memory of ever having that encounter.

The only problem would be inconsistent levels and moves after "You" come back.

>"Massugu (Straight), is one letter away from Massuguma (Linoone), while being a mixup of Makkusu (Max)">Straight
So that's why it only works on Linoone.

Sunflora was a slut.

>not using heat wave to get some fried fish

>>264079632
is it as repetitive as the first mystery dungeon? Fear of that is what kept me from getting it used at gamestop for $20

>>264096470
Chimecho was the bigger slut

>>264087612
skitty is only useful in the first game for Attract (which was so broken anyways)

>>264096668

Of course they are repetitive, its a pokemon game

If you didn't like the first one you wont like the second one.

>>264096797
Normalize is actually great in PMD because STAB is stronger than Super-Effective

Would these games have been even better if they didn't feature Pokemon characters? And were on an actual console?

>>264096892
alright, well here's a better question
At the end of the first one, your buddy becomes a normal buddy, and that destroyed gameplay for me from then on. Does that happen again in sky or does your bro stay your special bro?

>>264089880
Friend areas had the best goddamn music. I hope they bring them back ;_;

You mean if it were a Mystery Dungeon game?

Are you still a human who got turned into a pokemon in Gates?

He remains you bro, but you gain the option to remove yourself and him/her from the team and take control of others.

If there was a new PMD game, how would mega evolutions work? Webm sorta related.

>>264096668
It improved a lot of things from the previous couple of DS games, added new content, four new starters, new shops, secret bazaar which is a life saver on occasions, lose half of your cash instead of all when k.o. in mazes and many more

>>264097223
Stays your special bro. You even raise a kid together at one point.

>>264097298
Yeah and it probably handles that aspect the best of all three games.

>>264097282
yeah

also is gates any good? the fact that you can't be any other pokemon turns me off

>>264097483
>>264097596
I want to believe but I have to be certain, does he still follow you around uniquely and have dialog when you're in town for example? Or in situations where other followers just don't show up?

Cause if that's so, then I'm sold.
