I do like the idea of MC continuity of some degree.
Having someone outright acknowledge it would be pretty interesting.

Is Mudkip and Pikachu a good combination? Tempted to buy a second copy of Super to try them out

>>25775680
>mudkip

Guy that was running Mudkip+Skitty a few threads back, don't do it. Mudkip's learnset is atrocious

So what's the major difference between Time, Darkness and Sky?

>>25775680
Are there really any bad player/partner combos? Some might lack a lot more synergy than others, but they'd still work.

Also, probably not, since Water's countered by Grass and Electric, which Pikachu can't really cover.

>>25775694
T/D have mons that aren't found in either version

Sky has every gen 4 pokemon that isn't named Arceus, and has a bunch more additions. There's no reason to emulate T/D ever, because Sky exists.

>>25775694
Time and Darkness aren't worth playing. Sky has pretty much everything without version exclusivity, plus added content.

>>25775677
I like to tie in the quiz in a way.
One possibility is that no human was actually ever sent to the pokemon world, rather instead spawning an avatar of sorts from the same template human (the player). There was never any amnesia, the MC just was created with few memories.

The bad future human still needs to be tied in though. Maybe the time travel accident was much worse than what you think.

Also there are items that are exclusive to either version in T/D, but Sky has all of them.
Also T/D needs you to recruit Palkia to evolve the starters.

that's a rather interesting idea, but it doesn't competely solve the disconnect about the MC having so many thoughts of its own. I wonder how can that even be made to fit in?

If the pokemon has no portrait for the emotion the game would normally show, none shows. Most pokemon only have one, not counting story related pokemon. If there's a special animation, it uses the walking animation.

Pic related, Wooper has a few, but not all of them.

>>25775824
Of course for the MC to be able to work independently, it needs past knowledge, experience and memories. Those all coming from the human it was spawned from.
Just enough memories to work, and nothing much else.

>>25776341
>buneary
Enjoy never having a hold item for it.

Get Gates to Infinity, finish Sky, or skip to Super?

I beat BRT and Explorers of Time, but never Sky. Started it up but I dunno if it's worth going through the story again.
Super has everything I could ever want and more, and Gates disappointed me with how small the roster was, but a lot of people seemed to think Gates is worth a purchase, especially if I can get it for like 5-10 bucks. The DLC is a non-issue, since I'll def get it if it's not priced too high. How should I go through all this, though? Leaning on skip Sky, get Gates, and then Super after, but if Gates isn't short enough, I'm worried of getting burnt out.

>>25775610
What happened there? A win for a prize ticket?

>>25776445
The DLC for Gates is super inconsequential.

>>25776468
Big Win

>>25776054
Dude, I hurt.

>>25776445
There's no harm in getting Gates if you can get it for cheap. Not saying it's worth that little, but that's how it is when you're interested in buying a game people don't think is that good. The less you spend on a game you might not like, the less burned you'll be if you're right.

If you already have Sky, I'd say start over and finish it. It's pretty good. No harm in playing after Super though, that's what I did.

>>25776054
This hurts and heals at the same time.

Buy Gates to Infinity if you don't spend much on it. Pirate the DLCs.
Play Sky all the way through.
Then play Super.
Don't play Gates to Infinity, just put it in front of you and be proud that you bought it.

Chapter 6 could have easily been lewdcity if I wanted it to be. Does that count as a porn story?

Just go get ravaged in the writethread until git gud happens naturally.

>>25776445
GtI is definitely worth playing if you're willing to accept that it's the most flawed game on the series.

That said, go in sequence - Sky, GtI, then Super.
You'll appreciate the easter eggs and yearn for the continuity this way.

>>25776985
i dunno kissing is pretty lewd (not really though)

i liked ears, the team dynamic was cute, and the emotional parts gripped me enough and were really believable

but yeah im okay with it not being lewd, i can just leave that up to my imagination, even though I kinda doubt I'll even think about them in that way

>>25777017
Eh, wait until they're 2nd stage at least. Surely the bone zone awaits whenever a beloved special doggo becomes a lewdo braixen.

So, I've done like, 90% of Red Rescue
I've gotten all the legendaries except for fucking Deoxys and the two level 1 dungeon legends
what else should I do?
oh right, I guess I should save Medicham and Gardevoir or something.... but after that, what should I do?

Also, I guess I could get Alakazam

>>25777662
.01%, at level 90+ holding a Friend Bow.

Abra spawns asleep in Solar Cave, so bring Xray Specs and look for nonmoving red dots. It's level 16, so have a Link Cable. Also, have Gravelrocks, and a Frustration TM for Zam.

>>25777662
-33.9% in Rescue Team, -49.5% in Explorers. >>25777673 has the percentage chance with all the stars aligning.

from what I think, certain foods make it so your belly goes down slower, like Huge apple would be the best, because it's the largest

>>25777754
1 hunger for every 5 steps, double that of normal. According to bulbapedo it can let you resist Grimy Food effects sometimes. Only shuckle/Zigzagoon line has it in those games.

If you want one of these, don't make it the leader.

>>25777266
ive had people say to me before "oh you like to lewd the first stages more? you pedo" when im not even thinking of it in that way

>>25777637
so, why Alakazam?

I got bored as fuck with SMD after the "Giratina" battle
Does the game pick up?

>>25777840
For people that are too casual to get Kecleon, Zam's the next best choice. High start stats, and it gets Teleport. Enter Wish Cave with this mon, gravelrocks, a Warp/Pass Scarf combo, and spam warp, and even someone that sucks hard can get to at least 20F.

>>25777877
and then, what's the advantages of kecleon?

>>25777866
yes

>>25777924
It gets good stats and levels up pretty quickly. Unlike Alakazam, it can actually fight against the Pokémon in the later floors instead of having to run away.
It also gets Fury Swipes, which is multi-hitting and therefore broken and Screech, which is good for linking moves to because it completely demolishes enemies' Defense.

>>25777924
Lower start stats. but gets amazing levelups. Due to level having an effect on damage outside stats, a level 14 kecleon which has the same stats as a level 7 Zam in the same time will always outdamage Zam.

It gets actual moves learned from levelup. It gets range, it gets multihit, it gets Screech. It gets a good ability, and it gets high PP attacks. Using a team of Kecleon/Charizard/Wooper, I have a 100% success rate, for a 99 floor trip, and i've done it at least 15 times. Just take a look at that level 1 dungeon guide in the OP, I made that.

So, basically Kecleon breaks the game so hard in Red and Blue
right now, I'll have to get Abra though, not quite level 90 yet, and there's no reason to try if it's not possible to get

>>25778068
tl;dr, Zam runs are quick and dangerous, Jirachi can kill you. Kecleon runs are slow and safe, you can ko Jirachi in one Screech+Fury Swipe link.

Don't bother bringing much food in, Wish Cave is absolutely LOADED with Huge Apples. I only bring a tight belt so i can farm Skarmory for exp on floors 18-19, but if you're only aiming for 20, you dont need to.

Also it just hit me, a female Drifblim is probably the best choice for ZIS, due to the tiny bit of extra evasion females get. Hell, female for any pokemon really.

>>25778451
females get extra evasion? is it just innate to the gender?

Yes. Females get increased evasion and males/genderless Pokémon get an increased critical hit rate.

I have come back to the mystery dungeon thread and Im seeing that people are playing sky with custom starters. I see the OP has the emulator, but is there a pastebin or something on how to set everything up for the starters?

>>25776546
Base power DOES mean things, though. Dig does calamitous damage and it's got max stars.

Also, in the PMD guidebook, there's a list of base powers from 1-22-ish, I don't get where the whole "base powers mean nothing" arguement comes from.

>>25779761
Because of how the damage formula works, each point of base power contributes slightly less than 0.6 points of damage, which is nothing.
All the charge turn moves have a 2x damage modifier, which is why Dig hits so hard.

Alright, with no Space Globe, a 255 attack Ampharos using Focus Punch deals 639 damage to a Beach Cave Corsola. Holding the Space Globe, it dealt 745 damage. Nowhere near the "doubled power" everywhere claims it gives, but it is an increase. I only got to test each scenario once, every other hit either crit or missed.

I was curious, so I tested it again, this time with a level 96 Kangaskhan with 160 Attack. 580 damage dealt to a Corsola without it. With it. 683 damage. 489 on a Shellos with, 354 without. Damage can vary greatly though, without the Space globe, I've had differences of up to 50 damage, and on another test against a Shellos holding the Space Globe, dealt a measly 393 damage.


Due to the sheer difficulty of actually getting one legit, the sky high base stats required to actually see a difference, and the massive damage range at those levels, the item is almost completely useless. If your stats are high enough to see a difference, you're probably 1shotting everything anyways. If you're using a charge move, you'll see an increase in damage, but it's such a negligible increase that there's no point. You're better off using X-ray Specs, this item's sole purpose is bragging rights.

>>25781085
>Explorers of Sky
huh

>>25781085
Also it seems to only show an effect on charge moves. I once tried with a 255 sp attack Wooper, using Water Gun on Geodude, and saw the space globe make me deal even less damage. Even with whatever damage up it gives, it's not enough to take you out of the damage range that not having it has. Lets say a non-charge move's range is 400-450. With the Space Globe, that might go up to 410-460. Again, it's absolutely useless with an increase like that.

So are yall mostly done with SMD and back playing sky roms? I could never finish sky because partner ai is just too irritatingly retarded.

>>25781706
If there's a thing SMD did right, was that you don't have to fiddle with the AI settings constantly.

>>25781722
The thing SMD did wrong was "Let's Go Together" doesn't work the same as it used to. Meaning that if you're to the left of your partner, moving down-right will make the partner step to where you were, not stand still.

>>25781764
It's not really a big deal since they stay in place if there's an enemy and they're in a good position to attack.

There are no repeatable missions in SMD and the level 5 dungeons are unbalanced as fuck.

are you talking about dark matter because I never changed the AI settings and my partner walked off of the disco dance floor and never got hit by that attack

>>25781794
>>25781808
I never had to tweak it at all either

>>25781825
I'm with >>25781809 on this one - Let's Go Together really didn't feel the same at all, from big ways (collecting items) to little ways (the way they followed you in the first place).

Like, I was constantly having to set all of my team members to "Follow me" rather than "Let's go together", only switching them back whenever we encountered a room with more than one or two enemies since they wouldn't normally attack them under "Follow me". If anything, I had to do more AI tweaking in Super than any of the other games, because of constantly switching out the Pokemon in my team and anytime we ran into fights. It was really frustrating, honestly.

I didn't bother taking any chances with the standard AI and used the get away from here/wait there commands on the partner.

Are you seriously telling me that there was no point to that? I thought I was being a goddamn master technician and felt like I was truly working together with my partner for once. Now I feel cheated.

>>25781889
Yeah. well, for me at least. and the other Anon
Maybe you guys had bad experiences, but I've had everyone on "Let's go Together" and had no issues at all. Especially with Dark Matter
I think the one time I had to switch it was when I (PC) got warped. So I put it on Wait Here and took control of my other two team members to find them
Other from that, everyone's been on "Let's Go Together" since day 1

>>25781909
>Maybe you guys had bad experiences
Not really. Like I said, only time I ever bothered with it was during the final boss, and it looks like it was useless even then.

The only thing about the new AI that bothers me is how they'll always make a beeline for items, which can get pretty annoying when it's just berries or 5P and all you want to do is escape the room before enemies arrive.

So what is there to do in the Super Mystery Dungeon post-game besides bringing your partner back?

>>25782097
the ai's avoiding the first hit on itself

>>25782108
Doing the treasure hunt, though it's not very compelling to do. Collecting Pokemon, though if you're like me and not quite as interested in catching them all as some others, then that might not interesting you either.

Otherwise, it's just dungeons, dungeons, dungeons.

>Get to the part where you reunite with all the guild members in the void
>Think you'll get to choose one to be your 3rd member
>You actually just bring fucking all of them

That was pretty fun

>>25782162
>though if you're like me and not quite as interested in catching them all as some others
MODS

>>25782162
>not catching them all

Never give up.

>>25782197
It's less giving up and more lack of interest. So >>25782191 has more the right idea. you'll never take me alive

I don't find recruiting them all all that interesting even in the older PMDs, even though I have nicknamed and tried out a few Pokemon other than the player and partner, so Super removing nicknames and tying recruitment to missions killed a lot of the playability for me. I rarely play Super anymore, but whenever I do, I never boot up the story anymore, I just go to Pelipper Island and do random crawls.

So in Super, if you evolve any of your teammates, do they appear evolved in the overworld?

Like if I tried to make Bunnelby from the guild evolve, would there be a Diggersby outside the guild instead?

The change from 15F dungeons to 25F dungeon was pretty brutal, had to use all my max elixirs I had with me in there. Hopefully this latter part won't be as long.

>>25786743
People exaggerate a lot about SMD because it's still relatively new. The point of Salamence is to teach you that actually fighting enemies is bad, and that you need to fight dirty with items and other things whenever possible. This becomes a theme more and more later on, since leveling up is extremely slow and you have to constantly buy stat-ups in order to keep up with the game's difficulty, instead of just leveling up (which would be sensible).

Most people who like Sky better like it because it feels more balanced. Super has a lot of little improvements here and there, but all-in-all it's more of a roguelike, and it's not necessarily for the better. But that debate's been done to death at this point.

SMD was my first mystery dungeon game aside from ~10 hours of Red Rescue way back, and I only got right up to Great Canyon (I might have kept on playing if I just went there, that music has me like dam son das sum gud shit), but Salamence was definitely where I realized "Okay, this game is giving me a shitload of wands and orbs, so I should really just start making use of them." I also discovered that blast seeds are OP as fuck early on. 100 damage a pop, you know.

And I also find it interesting that fans say Super is challenging again after GtI dropped the ball, only because the only part I had a decent amount of trouble with was the Yveltal fight. That was actually really, really tough. Of course, I'm not sure what the very late postgame dungeons are like, but I'm replaying through Red Rescue now that I'm hyped up from SMD and god damn, it's just so much harder. Revive seeds are 800 a pop, blast seeds aren't nearly as useful, no wands, game over even if your partner dies, etc. Still enjoying the game a lot, but I guess I'm just surprised at how much more difficult this game is after hearing that Super was a return to the difficulty the series is known for.
I'm so excited to play Sky after RRT. I'm really hoping I don't go into it with too high of expectations after hearing so many great things about.

>>25787025
>going into Sky with too high expectations
Seriously don't do this. It ruined it for me.

As for the rest of your post, I played Blue Rescue Team back when it was released. I was 8 and I beat it, so it can't really be too hard. Super's difficulty comes from the inability to grind (which is apparently how a lot of people beat the past games), as well as nerfed A attack which means no conserving PP. This is where the items come in. The reliance on items is not easy to get used to for someone who is used to conserving items and saving them for "just the right time."

I usually explore as much as I can, but this place's just so damn annoying that I couldn't. Did someone say Pressure and wall ghosts?

>>25787025
>going into Sky with too high expectations
I'm a big, big fan of Sky, enough to where I'd call myself a fanboy (and I carry all the biases that comes with), but please, never go into any game with expectations that are too high. I've done that before with other games and it's really made it difficult to like them even to this day.

That said, this is the first time I've heard of anyone saying that the series is known for its difficulty, or that Super "returns" to the difficulty it's known for. I mean, to me, Rescue Team can be kind of butts since it tends to rush you along unless you take the opportunity to grind between story missions, and Sky's got a nice, somewhat-easy, but balanced difficulty. Super's hard, but in the way that never feels terribly satisfying, to me anyway. Even then I still managed to go through Super without a single rescue until postgame, though I chewed through at least ten-plus Revivers.

>>25787140
You're in for one hell of a ride. The last 8 floors before Rayquaza are just so maze-like, you'll be wishing you brought enough max elixirs and apples to navigate the damn area.

Because they were a hell of a lot easier. Sure, the enemies were stronger but at least Aerodactyls were the only ones with Pressure. Plus no wallghosts. Nor spite.

Thank you for your attention.
Now, what's the postgame like? Never touched it. Could either start Sky with hacked characters soon or play some of RT's postgame if there's any.

>>25787306
I'm not saying it's bad. In fact I think Super juuuust edges it out. It's a matter of personal opinion, nothing objective.

I didn't like how the story was told. Too many flashbacks to things we just saw. Too much partner parroting everything back in the form of a question. Until the betrayal the story didn't really grab me, whereas even though nothing was happening in the overall plot of Super for the first 10 hours, I was still enjoying it.

And then the story just kept going after the credits. I figured everything out super early and it killed my enjoyment of that whole thing. I really just had no desire to play after the true final boss.

I don't like grinding dungeons for recruits (never did it in Rescue Team either), and I didn't like the IQ system either, but Spinda's Cafe was really nice. I never did any of the post-game bosses outside of the story ones, though, so I'll probably go back and do those at some point since this thread is putting me in the mood.

Those are pretty much my main gripes with Sky, thread's on bump limit and I don't feel like really going into the super nitpicky stuff. Again, nothing objective. I really did enjoy it, but I enjoyed Super more.

>>25787431
There's a lot to do in RT

>>25787431
There's a lot, but it's not linear like Sky.
