Really just use whoever you want, as long as it isn't Eevee/Phanpy. If you really want overpowered i guess Vulpix/Pikachu would work.

Well, you'll need to wait a little then. Unless you have a Cubic Ninja or Ocarina of Time 3D and a friend with an already hacked 3DS. I suggest you to not updated if a new update comes out. It's most likely a matter of a few days, 1-2 weeks at works. Just check the news and "safe firmwares" at >>>/vg/hbg/, if it says there's a new "browserhax" (or something else) that works on 10.6 use that. Ask here or in that general if you need help
I'm sorry it's not possible right now, but it could have been much worse

Europoor here. Not a big lurker but am I the only one finding PSMD not very rewarding ? I mean I'm at chapter 19 and I feel like my team doesn't really change (I have Mudkip as my main and Treeko as my partner). Treeko is fine since the attacks it learns are okay, but fuck Mudkip's movepool. Why would you give me only special attacks when I'm a physical attacker ?

Also, on that note, is there a way for him to learn Ice Punch once evolved into Swampert ?

...Hey. 10.7.0-32 just came out.
I advice you to wait and see what happens now, and then when there's an entrypoint downgrade from 10.6 to 9.2. It's worth it.

>>25583519
After you finish the story, you can learn the ORAS tutor moves if you're got a few thousand Poké to spare.

You can be whatever kind of attacker you want, since your offenses shouldn't be too far apart and you can use stat boosting items without limit. Mudkip gets some rather nice special moves, too, like Hydro Pump and Earth Power.

So, explorers, let's settle this once and for all. What's the best PMD game? Rate 1-4, and make sure you explain why so everyone can tell you why you're wrong.

>#1: Explorers
The quintessential Mystery Dungeon game. Best starter selection, better plot than any of the mainline games, mechanics could use a little polish (Kangaskhan Storage was irritating and the recruitment rates for legendaries desperately need a boost), but it was damn good.
>#2: Super
Okay, yes, the plot left something to be desired, and the Connection Orb can go burn in hell. But I'm willing to let that slide just for how smooth it all felt. The animations, the models (bar a few terrible ones), the items...it was just a great setup, and while the plot could have been better, it's STILL better than the main games.
>#3: Rescue Team
There isn't really much to say about this one. Yes, it was pretty good; solid starter selection, okay mechanics, not a terrible plot. But honestly, Sky took everything Rescue Team did and did it a hundred times better. What else is there to say?
>#4: Gates
Oh, Gates. You tried so hard, and you could have been great. The plot was fucking incredible for a Pokemon game, the art direction wasn't half bad, and the mechanics that were recycled were done well. It's just that the developers just took a massive shit all over the plot. Seriously, no hunger? Not even the full roster of Pokemon? Only three starters? It feels like it was supposed to just be a demo for Super, except the team on plot didn't get the memo and made a full game instead.

I hate how I can't go at my own pace. I want to be a level 50 God by the time I fight the final boss, dammit! Crush it beneath my metaphorical boot!
Instead I got a stress fest. Died in two-three hits from everything, had to run like a little bitch or use items to win.
For me, that's not very satisfying at all.
At least it played nice. I'm fine with most everything else.

>>25585183
>stress fest
That's the entire point, you wombat. You're a kid. You're out of your depth, and are running on willpower, hope, and sheer stubbornness. That you win at all (in-game) is miraculous. You aren't supposed to be an invincible god.

>>25584674
you pretty much posted my opinion right there, so

>>25585183
The difficulty is part of the appeal IMO, the more recent Pokemon games are much easier than Gen 1-3

It's also a reason this general is so empty, not everyone wants to fight a Whitney's Miltank equivalent every 30 secs, and I get that

>>25584674
>#1: Explorers of Sky
Longest game by far, the credits aren't anywhere close to the end of it. Repeatable missions and the ability to freely use 4 pokemon at once help things, and the IQ system makes normally bad pokemon great. Rewards at the end of dungeons give more reasons to explore.

>#2: Super
Still not too sure how to feel about this, but it's good nonetheless. The break system and the level 5 dungeons suck, no IQ like abilities is a letdown, and recruitment is a little too easy. However, I appreciate the higher challenge, Wands being neat, and generally doing everything right that Gates did wrong. Hopefully the next game fixes Super's problems, like region locked rescues.

>#3: Rescue Team
The start to it all wasn't too bad. The loose story in the postgame is neat, and it has on average the longest dungeons in the series. Recruitment was hell though, with pokemon like Ponyta and Exeggcute being absurdly hard to get to. Needing to talk to your team again to go into a dungeon is a pain in the ass, and makes sticking with 1 mon more favorable.

>#4: Gates
Don't hate this as much as others here, but there's no doubt it's the weakest. Looks like it was rushed just to have a pokemon game on the 3ds. Paradise is a neat concept, but 1 mission at a time sucks, 5 starters sucks, and no rescues at all sucks. Worst level 1 dungeons in the series, with leveling up taking so long there's little reason to bother.

>>25585452
...I actually see your point. With no sarcasm or malice at all, I will say that you have expanded my perspective.
I'm a dumbass, whatever. Didn't occur to me that I'm playing as an actual child. Now I get it.

>>25585795
Hey, it's a new perspective you didn't get in the other games. On the other hand, in the previous games, you DID still have required, plot-related dungeons that you got thrown into. See: the Mt. Bristle, Amp Plains, and bad future segments. It just wasn't as bad as this, IIRC.

It's been a few months since I've played Super but IIRC the way to steal from Keckleon in it is to leave your teammates on the stairs and use your sacrifice mon to steal what you want. Then switch to your partner on the stairs and use them right away. Be prepared to die a few times before you get the chance to use the stairs

Ganbatte, Charizard-kun. I'm rooting for you

Yesterday I got the last treasures and today I connected with Arceus and explored all the dungeons. I'm done with this game.
Overall I liked it, but the postgame should have been organized better because the only motivation to play, after getting your partner back, is wanting 100% completition

>>25588356
Yrah. This game suffers from "post-game boredom" syndrome on which there's really nothing else to do once you finish the Epilogue
Sure, there's the 100% completion, but you end up really not wanting to do that once you finish the Epilogue
There really isn't anything to do post-story

Just bought Super Mystery Dungeon. I am suddenly very underleveled despite killing everything. Did I just make a poor choice by being a Fennekin with a Snivy pal?

>>25585452
Different anon, but frankly that still comes off as a really poor excuse for poor difficulty balancing. I can understand situations like that as isolated incidents - hell, it's why the Dark Future, Fugitive or so on bits work so well - but applying it to the whole game is foolhardy. It's putting a minor concern before the core parts of design.

>>25584674
>Explorers
Like you said, it's quintessential. A solid story, excellent starters, and the biggest flaws it has are still very minor (IQ curve is too high, recruitment rates for legendaries are low, etc). It took the basics laid down by Rescue Team and polished things to a mirror sheen.
>Rescue Team
I imagine I'll probably raise a few eyebrows with this, but Rescue Team's basic, but solid. More rough around the edges than the other games in some ways, but it's still fun and playable. It doesn't go very far or deep in terms of gameplay or story, but it's still a good time.
>Super
I'm not very fond of this game, honestly. There's some nice little changes like how those certain IQ skills got integrated as part of the AI, and leader-switching is good, but everything else felt almost jaw-droppingly unpolished. It feels a lot like XY where they tried to add or try new things but didn't really think a lot of them through all the way. It's also like XY in that I have to turn my brain off to enjoy the story, which is never a good sign.
>Gates
Never played it, which is why I consider it "unrated". Story sounds alright, though I wasn't that interested in the characters during the demo. Gameplay's incredibly easy, of course, and there's all the problems people say about it, but after playing Super, I get the feeling I wouldn't be as mad about it, honestly.

Hold up, does each pokemon have its own personality if they're a partner or playable character?

>>25588793
no, it doesn't, but hey anon, that's a nice idea.

>>25588763
>but after playing Super, I get the feeling I wouldn't be as mad about it, honestly.
Super is basically "What if Gates was good/polished"
So if you feel that Super is unpolished, then hoo boy you're going to love Gates

>>25588817
Well, yeah, but Gates at least has some things that are polished about it that Super doesn't. Like nicknames! And four-Pokemon teams instead of three! Those are cool at least, right?

...does Gates ever go on sale in the e-shop? That's honestly why I haven't picked it up, I'm waiting for a cheap-as-hell price because I'm cheap-as-hell.

>>25588829
Also that first part was sarcasm. Mostly.

What really interests me about Gates is the whole Paradise thing, since building up and customizing your home base seems like it would have been the next logical step towards improving upon Sky. Like I said, I thought Sky polished things to a mirror sheen, so the only place they could really try and expand was the parts outside of the dungeons. If only Gates had done that without taking a hatchet to the insides of dungeons.

>>25588829
I remeber seeing it at my local game shop for $15. Was tempted to pick it up as part of my "Road to Super" but said frag it

>>25584674
Time to trigger some niggers

>#1: Super
By far the best gameplay of the series, each addition and change being a big hit for me. Emeras added an element of rng that you could react and plan ahead to (unlike traps and monster houses which just show up because fuck you) and allows you to make some interesting choices. Connection orb made the missions actually matter unlike in the DS games, and thankfully got rid of the random recruitment shit. Alliance attacks using hunger finally makes hunger a meaningful mechanic outside of the lvl 1/5 99 floor dungeons and the increased difficulty made it so I couldn't steamroller the game unlike Explorers and Gates. Story took a nosedive however. It had its moments, but the horrible pacing and the poorly used cast of characters held it back badly. The final scene was ungodly terrible, and really left a sour taste in my mouth.

>#2: Gates
Yes, the amount of content was curtailed heavily, but it did help shore up some of the problems that the DS games had, namely the monotony. Paradise, move levelling, v-wave, mysteriosity, levelling while at base, 'outside' sections in dungeons, all of this stuff made the game feel more varied and less one note, which trumps the lack of content since in the DS games, it just wasn't good enough for me to continue playing after the story was over. Speaking of Story, it easily had the best story in the series. Had a few issues with show, don't tell, but the developed cast of characters pulled it through as I found myself caring for pretty much every one of them. They were well used too, remaining relevant at all the right moments, and has the only partner that didn't annoy me.

Cont...

>>25589361
i absolutely agree with all of those positives you said about gates

i kinda wish that stuff was in super, especially the varied dungeons and the lazy leveling (lazy in this case meaning fast and good and easy)

>>25584674
>>25589361
>#3: Explorers.
As I said before, the gameplay's just too damn monotonous for me to really get into. It's terribly grindy, and when there's no in-base levelling and the gummi system, I ended up just tunnelling on using the two main characters, because fuck level/iq grinding when the core gameplay is just servicable. Also, it was just as easy as Gates. Sure you get some interesting choices to make with the IQ, but I was already bored of the gameplay by the time it came around. Story is an odd one for me. It had the best plot, but the characters were just weak. If I don't really care about the characters, then I'm not going to care about the story. Special Episodes were a massive improvement however, and episodes 2 and 5 are the best story content pokemon has ever received.

>4: Rescue Team
Inferior to Explorers in every meaningful way. Story was almost as weak as the main series, gameplay was functional though, and I liked how it was a bit harder than the other games. Friend areas were something I'm glad they ditched.

>>25589372
In many ways, since it was the first game that I got into the gameplay more (though Super improved it past that), it makes the lack of content even worse, but I at least enjoyed what little post-story content there was. I guess comparing Gates to Explorers is a meal that's tasty but doesn't fill you up vs a bland meal that does.

>>25589377
i think IQ qould have been better if they were automatically unlocked as per level

readding iq abilities ^like that and base levelling would be really great, I think

man grovyle really got the shitty end of the stick

>get separated from best friend on important mission
>worry about them, think they're probably dead or something
>finally get them back
>they've completely lost their memory and gotten a new friend
>tfw be the third wheel to your best friend and his new best friend now

>>25589480
Yeah, the levelling itself was already pretty grindy enough on its own. Adding two grinds was complete overkill, which is a shame, since some of the IQs are situational and thus there's interesting choices to make with them. It just too way too long to get to that stage though.

im kinda surprised we havent had a partner that has a complete mental breakdown in the runaway/dark scenes, especially in super what with seeing their friends and role models practically die in front of their little kid eyes

i think it would be good bonding if the mc just had a bit of comforting time with the partner, like an interlude where the partner is just too depressed for days to adventure and through your bond or some shit they come back around

>>25589888
Closest we got to that was the implied violent beatdown the Super partner gave the beeheyem after he was already defeated. Understandable since he just found out his dad was sent to 'hell' by them.

>>25589906
that strikes me as more unsettling since he's a little kid

kids are fucking brutal

>>25589888
This wasn't an overt breakdown, but I found the player character during Super's epilogue to be a bit off.

Getting Mew to replace the partner because he reminded of the partner and risking Dark Matter's return just to see the partner again just seemed unhealthy to me.

Do i really need to explain why? Best plot of the Pokemon franchise, god-tier OST, is not easy but it's not hard as shit (sometimes it is), the only one to have a good post-game and it seriously made me care about my companion and his feelings
>2 Rescue Team
The first one i played and i found it amazing, good plot, nice music and a really nice game overall. But the postgame is really shitty, really hard and unfair sometimes. And by far my biggest complain: when you finish the main story, your companion, your only friend in that world, starts acting like a regular NPC. Instead of acting like your friend, he acts like you found him in a fucking dungeon and recruited him
>3 Super
An improvement of Gates. Nice music, great scenarios.... BUT, i hate that the game forces you to be a child at school. Like WTF, i used to be in a rescue team, facing dangers and stuff, not learning what's 1+1. Also final boss is shit

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>25590791
Just looking out for my fellow Anon's

>>25584674

1: Rescue Team

Friend Areas, best music, an enjoyable and involving post-game (unlike Super and Gates) and more replay-ability than other games. Plot is involving yet includes no "ancient evils" or "dark powers" like its sequels, just natural disasters. It had an independent team with their own base (again unlike the sequels) and wasn't a chore to come back to

2: Sky

Polished up on Rescue Team storywise but felt too grounded and forceful in plot moments (ie: fade out to black, character mentions what happened a minute ago and everyone acts surprised), guild are retarded and the trivialising of legendary pokemon is ridiculous. Otherwise special episodes are perfect, "challenges" or bandit pokemon were a good implementation and characters are solid.

3: Super

Decent plot, but too rushed after Serene Village, would've preferred school wasn't irrelevant in the plot. Otherwise mechanics are pretty good

4: Gates

I actually liked the characters and the storyline of the game, felt like it flowed well and it felt like its own, unique game. Gameplay was lacking in comparison to Sky and Blue though

I'm playing Red as Eevee with partner Pikachu
I've player this game for years..... but I have no idea how these stats gains work

>>25593821
Each Pokémon has their level 1 base stats and predetermined stat growths for each level, which are added on as they level up. Stat-boosting items such as Iron add 3 to their respective stat when used.

>>25593880
so will the stats still be relatively the same as in the normal games?
if Salamence has a base attack of 135, will he still have a base stat of 135 in mystery dungeon?

>>25584251
even if 10.7 came out, you can still go in through OOTHax and downgrade from 10.6 .

>>25583320
FUCKING NUMEL MAN

>>25593949
No, the base stats in PMD are their stats at level 1.
In Rescue Team, a Pokémon's stats will have almost no relationship to their main series stats.

so does that mean every pokemon has completely random stats?

I dunno, but if you use Eevee, don't use it as a partner. Stats from levelups really mean nothing, because you get so many ways to up your stats.

In another note, would anyone like to rescue a faggot who dedded at floor 7 of Ocean Tempest? The dungeon is unlocked at master rank, so I'm asking before getting my hopes up for getting rescued.

Evolution doesn't affect stats much in these games. You're better off using vitamins and Gummis in friend areas

>>25594675
Gummis are only for IQ yes? there's no secret effect that I don't know about?

>>25594809
There's the odd chance that it will sharply boost IQ, and I think they had good odds for making effective drinks in Spinda's Café.
That's all I think.

>>25594809
If used in Friend Areas, they always randomly up one stat by 1. They can up all the stats by 1 rarely too, but when used in friend areas, they always increase stats.

Never use Gummis in dungeons.

>>25594839
so, vitamins can be used all the time and are not limited like in the main games, right?

>>25594883
The only limit for a stat is 255. HP is not bound by this limit, and can hit 999

>>25594924
interesting
shit, I forgot the big problem I had......
why does fury attack do so much fucking damage? just...... why

>>25594954
Base power for moves means basically nothing in the games before Super. This makes linked combos like Screech+Fury Swipes utterly broken. Stay away from multihit moves, they're deadly

>>25595139
Lightning/Northwind Field, shops in Mt Faraway, and shops and the floor in Western Cave.

All of those are postgame.

>>25595157
Dungeons like Mystery Jungle also have a SHITLOAD of goodies hiding in the walls. Joy Seeds, Life Seeds, Sitrus Berries, Lost Loots, Gummis, Ginsengs, Vitamins etc.

Bring along a team of four pokémon and four mobile scarves, and let them wander around like loons. Only the leader gets hungry abusing mobile scarves. Bring Reviver Seeds just to refill your belly and PP as appropriate.
One room orbs and trawl orbs are also good for this job.

So quick question about PSMD.
I've downloaded the game rip and there's a lot of older tracks in here too.
This includes Beartic Hockey and Starmie's Salvage Treasure.

Just wondering if they brought these two mini-games back in PSMD or if they remain exclusive to GTI?
They were fun, but were also sickenly generous with prizes.

I believe dungeons with high mysteriosity would usually through you into completely random places when you move to another floor. Kinda like the secret shop areas in Explorers of Sky.
These special areas had rare encounters and other things, not sure if they included the evolutionary stones or not.

I get the impression that I might've beaten Dragon Gate much earlier than I was supposed to.
Current play-time is 51 hours and this was my team.

Lucario Lv. 41 - HP 148 Atk 112 Def 80 Sp. Atk 104 Sp. Def 100 Speed 90
Metal Claw / Aura Sphere / Dark Pulse / Force Palm
Pikachu Lv. 41 - HP 154 Atk 96 Def 81 Sp. Atk 94 Sp. Def 94 Speed 84
Thunderbolt / Electro Ball / Discharge / Feint
Tyranitar Lv. 59 - Hp 91 Atk 94 Def 78 Sp. Atk 78 Sp. Def 71 Speed 67
Ice Fang / Stone Edge / Bite / Thunder Fang

Pretty sure the random encounters were roughly level 55, a Duskull used Night Shade on me.

All of them had Effect Boost on their looplets so I was inflicting tons of paralysis, and sometimes Dizzying Stare/Lullaby kicked in.
Then there was the looplet I found with an Awakening set on it and that made things a ton easier.
I only used four tiny reviver seeds through all that.

>>25596112
There is no "I beat X much earlier than I was supposed to"
You go to the dungeon and you fight X whenever. There is no "Don't go to X until you've achieved Y"

>>25596135
No of course not.
What I mean is I think I took this on at a lower than recommended level, like I was expected to work up to this a bit longer but was resourceful enough to pull it off.

>>25596206
There is no "recommended" level
You fight X whenever you feel like it

>>25596219
And I get that.
I still feel like they designed this with it being a significantly later thing to clear in mind, and I did it earlier.

>>25596229
Oh yeah, there's some fights that give off the "Do this later" vibe. Mewtwo comes to mind

>>25596275
Yup, that's exactly what I mean.

Mewtwo is more that you need a strategy, due to his recover. You don't have an actual dungeon to traverse ahead of time so you're free to prepare all you need.
For that I use Cofagrigus to Curse, then Ban Seed his Recover (Disable probably would've accomplished the same)

>>25596311
A good strategy for Mewtwo is Ban seeds (Maximum two) and Traunt wands (As much as you want)
The Ban Seeds are for his Recovery. I didn't know if his Phase two would null the effect so I brought two. Same with the Traunt Wands
Open up with a Traunt Wand to the face. Then Alliance attacks him until he uses Recover. Then toss a Ban Seed and Alliance Attack into Phase two
Phase two, do the exact same thing. And boom, you're done

Key items to bring is good Looplets, preferably ones that increase Attack, and as much Reviver Seeds as one can hold
I got lucky since my partner confused it a lot, so most of his moves missed. Plus with the Traunt effect, it barely attacked
Plus my partner and I had a lot of high damage moves so, it panned out pretty well

Yup yup! started playing through Explorers of Sky. Doing the Bidoof episode and I've got to say, it's kicking my ass! if the dungeon doesn't kick my ass Jirachi certainly will! I feel like I'm missing something, but I'll persevere. I can relate to bidoof.

This way you get kind of rewarded for posting it on Miiverse, while posting somewhere else just gives you the opposite of that.

this seems kind of superficial but I really want the vistas at the end of dungeons back, and I also wanna be able to just chill for a bit in there and walk around before leaving, they're pretty but you hardly get to see anything of them

it could spawn you right at the door so if you walked backwards it would ask if you wanted to leave right away, so I don't think it would be a hindrance to gameplay

I just want a bit of time to myself to level up and explore bro

>>25602363
Go to Pelipert island

>>25602388
Yeah but all that does is level up my partners and give me items
It doesn't help with the fact that 50% of everything I face in a new dungeon is fully capable of one hitting me

>>25602442
It makes sense though, think of the classic formula of a roguelike

>>25602442
Are you using wands and Reviver Seeds, Anon?
This game has a heavy reliance on items.

>>25602532
Yeah, constantly. My issue is that I burn through reviver seeds at a ridiculous rate
>60 hp lvl 20 charmander
>Hitmonlee used Double Kick
>50-50 dead
Reviver seed used
>Hitmonlee used double kick!

Etc
Like I could go play Pelipper island for like an hour doing the same dungeons over and over to get the pennies to buy more reviver seeds, but ergh.

>>25602573
If you are in NA region and get defeated, you should ask for a rescue.

Sky, no contest.

Tell, /pmd/, what is your ideal PMD game?

>>25605852
Story: Gates
Content: Super

>>25605961
Super with a Gates-tier story, no team members taking breaks, and something like Paradise. I'd like to see them make better use of the continents, too.

>>25605961
super gameplay (or improved from there)
more items, with different effects and stuff
some pre-made dungeons, similar to how shiren handles them
long postgame story (like in sky)
interesting postgame dungeons (like in rescue team)
improved level 1/5 dungeons, also trying to make interesting as I said above, possibly even during the dungeons themselves, maybe stuff like special episodes or something
both recruitment systems, being able to rename everyone whenever, more "connection orb"-like missions (making them as varied as possible) as well as randomly generated missions
codes for the randomly generated missions
rescue codes, without region locking
an improved version of gti's "mysteriosity level" thing, including the illusory dungeons
the part of the dungeon outside of the dungeon itself from gti (i forgot its name). don't use them too much, just make sure they're interesting and not as empty as they are in gti
a new story that stops trying to be an improved version of explorers with something new in there (explorers was something new compared to rescue team)
gti-like characters if not better

>>25605961
>Super's entire-world thing + battle mechanics
>gates tier story + leveling mechanics

yeah basically this too

just take all the good stuff from the other games
and move it
over here

also boss rematches

also as an experimental thing, what do you guys think about new game+ ?

>>25606241
>new game+
I guess it would be cool. Maybe it could even be a little different from the original story, but I'm mainly thinking about it because you wouldn't need a tutorial, and at least in Super they're kind of part of it, although would be interesting I guess.

And while we're at it

>>25606504
i kinda wish hyper beam was like toxic where every pkmn could learn it

it would be like hell, but on earth

>>25606504
Do I miss something ? isn't it just a stack of TM ? Is there different kinds of TMs ?

I'm getting sorta offtopic here now but would it be interesting if toxic didn't work on other pokemon that had toxic in their moveset

>>25606609
and by moveset, I mean current moves, obviously

>>25605852
Unquestionably Sky. Gates' story is good but I've always felt it was less interesting in a lot of ways (I've never found the side characters nearly as engaging as other anons, for starters), and it's not a good enough story to carry the simplified gameplay. Super, on the flipside, has a poor story, and while some people like the gameplay, I found it really frustrating and unfun, even though I was relying on items and emeras and all the other stuff.

>>25605961
Just fix the small nitpicks that Sky had and add in Paradise or some kind of customization equivalent, and then we'd be good to go.

>>25606536
Normal TM's you can use once and they disappear
Rainbow TM's you can use multiple times. Ergo, you can give everyone Hyper Beam

>>25606536
In some post-game dungeons you can find rainbow TMs in Kecleon shops, which won't break when used.

>>25606609
It would make sense to a degree but I don't really think it would improve anything, especially as those sorts of of moves aren't so useful in PMD to begin with.

The graphics of Gates, the story of EoS, the gameplay of Gates (GIVE ME MY FOURTH MEMBER), the music of Gates and the partner of EoS. And also the postgame of EoS.

Man, Explorers of Sky was the best one. I'm only about halfway through SMD so far and have found it lacking.
Music's okay I guess, graphics are the same as Gates, the partner is the worst one so far, and I don't like being a child.

>>25606777
>the partner is the worst one
Your opinion is wrong according to my tastes.

>I don't like being a child
Why not?

>>25606683
>Outfit customization from X/Y

>>25606683
I'm not sure if they should bring the friend areas back, mostly because I definitely see why they got rid of them in the first place, but customizable ones would be really interesting regardless. Maybe it could be a deal where you could pick the location of your base from tiny map that's actually part of the larger world map (ala the friend areas and world map of Rescue)?

>>25606870
I remember way back when Super was newly announced that people were thinking that the scarves meant that hold items were going to be visible on everyone's models. If only if only. the woodpecker sighs.

Doesn't pass the Harkness test.

>>25607021
but if neither you nor your partner pass the test, then both of you can fuck and its ok, that's how it works, right

>>25607021
Think of it this way: You both grow up together

>>25606950
that's mainly the reason I said "optional", was because they were a hassle to go to, but it would be really neat to go to the friend areas to see a bunch of pokemon you've collected and have a chat, while still being able to mess with your party order in the menu normally

if they REALLY insisted on members taking a break, they could put the resting ones in there, even, that would make the roster circulate or whatever

>>25607165
True. Maybe they could scrap, or at least rework, the Connection Orb system into something more in-tune with the friend areas. Bring back the bulletin board from the earlier games, but have your teammates able to give you quests directly, too. Plus giving them more dialogue would make them feel less robotic, like the NPCs in Super are. Combined with still being able to swap folks on the fly via menu, and I think that'd work really well.

Do any of the PMD games have any notable exploits or glitches?

>>25607464
I don't know if it counts as an exploit, but agility is really overpowered in every game except gates

>go back, take all the items, and use a Pure Seed and go to the next floor
>continue until you find another shop
>do it all over again

You can get 99,999 Poke in less than 5 minutes easy with this shit. Pic related

>>25607464
If I remember correctly in RT if you quicksave inside a Kecleon shop you can get the stuff and then simply just normally leave, without Kecleon attacking you.

>>25607464
And for glitches, there's pic related. I'm not 100% sure what causes this. If I had to guess, it involves being on a floor for a long time and maybe two pokemon spawn on eachother? That Skarmory and Swinub glitched out.

>>25607296
Connection Orb used to give special missions rewarding Friend Areas and special recruits, bulletin boards for the bulk of missions, recruitment a mix of Rescuers and Explorers (in dungeon recruitment, need the correct Friend Areas, recruits are immediately part of the team and can be made to leave the dungeon if at team size limit).

Maybe also tie the available dungeons to the Connection orb or whatever replaces it.

>>25607464
Does Attract in Rescue Team count?

>>25608246
I'd say it can sort of count. It's brokenly good in that game, to the point where a normal Delcatty in Northwind Field can take longer to kill than a Mewtwo, simply because you're stuck for 3 minutes doing nothing between Sttract/Rest/Doubleslap

Holy fuck this darkrai fight is so fucking stupid
Takes 15 floors to get to and in the end I miss 5 flamethrowers in row while cress spams double team

>>25608576
For being a legendary, Cresselia is more worthless than literally every story related mon that joins you.

>>25608576
>He had trouble with Darkrai

>>25608626
Grovyle was 15 levels above me and killed everything in 2 hits max

Cresselia is one level lower and does fuck all

This entire dungeon is retarded, I picked charmander and the best thing I can manage is to smokescreen, switch places with piplup, and hope he cleans up

The entire point of the partner is to shore up your weaknesses, and then they drop you into a mono-fire dungeon where Sunny Day lava plumes instagib you, there are ghosts in the walls, and Cress does nothing but waste my reviver seeds

>>25608576
>getting to that fight with Phanpy+Eevee

I used like 10 reviver seeds because EQ was my ONLY stab attack

5 turns later cress has burned all my revives and I can't touch him

if they gave him dark void to sleep your entire team at least you can use insomniscope or something, this RNG stuff is bullshit

>>25608716
Fucking Cresselia, man.
My partner, a Skitty, was 10x more useful than her in that final fight.

>>25608736
Stunky/Skuntank. Tankier than most mons, especially in ZIS, has Fury Swipes, and it WILL explode on you

Brick Break TM, Pikachu right now has thunderbolt, T-wave, growl, quick attack
remove growl for BB
yes? no?

>>25608751
>hit with the X-Eye Seed
>Darkrai's Self Curer got rid of the status!

>>25608805
Yeah, fuck growl. Actually, Twave is probably even more useless, because at least you can Growl at a boss to decrease its attack before it gets close

>>25608819
question is, will he use growl while the boss is far? you know, the AI is actually pretty stupid sometimes and might not attack at all

>>25608853
oh right, it's the partner.

Twave is pretty bad in RT anyways, Attract beats it in every aspect. You can at least link Growl with some other move, so that it uses say, Tbolt followed by Growl. Even if it hits nothing bonus exp is great.
