Why bother at all

Can we cry now that we know there will never be another PMD game as good as Sky ever again? That the series is as good as dead and that every entry after PSMD (assuming there is any) will only be a reminder of what once was?

Why live?

>>27594574
Why do they keep messing things up?

>>27594590
I really don't know. Maybe the premise of the game has been run dry of most of its artistic potential through the repetitive storylines and gameplay mechanics. At this point, I don't think there's any way for the devs to innovate or surprise us long time fans anymore.

>>27594574

You know, they've been doing the same thing since Explorers because that's what people ask for. The "THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYTHING AS GOOD AS SKY" mentality is shit. >>27594574

>>27594974
Explorers of Sky is the worst game in the series though. It has the same flawed gameplay from RT at its core, keeping most of RT flaws, not trying to be special in any way. The most unique think it has is an extremely long generic edgy anime plot.
Super>Gates to Infintiy>Blue Rescue Team>Explorers of Sky

I just looked it up and you actually DO recruit a level 50 Salamence (for comparison your two main characters and all the Pokemon in the dungeons are about level 12) before you've finished the part of the story where you leave preschool.

What? No way.

>>27595176
I share in your confusion.

>>27595172
>>27595197
>>27594574
Why bother making a new game if you're not going to like it just because it isn't Sky? When Super got announced there were already a lot of people saying that there was no way it could have been better than Sky, without knowing anything about it.
Sky fanboys are as bad as genwunners. It's ok if Sky is your favourite, but you should see what the other games are like before you start saying they're bad.

>>27595264
At least Sky fans have something to fan over.

Now, if people were saying Rescue Team was the best we'd have a problem.

>>27595264
>When Super got announced there were already a lot of people saying that there was no way it could have been better than Sky, without knowing anything about it.
So you're saying they were right, for the wrong reasons?

Super tries to balance Gates and Sky and ends up taking the worst of both and falling flat on its ass. It's a serious contender for the worst entry out of the whole main four installments.

>>27595288
Why? RT is pretty good too. The main thing Sky has over it are minor improvements. If I ignore these improvements, RT and Sky are pretty much the same to me.

>>27595249
Put this Salamence back on standby, i dont want it anymore

>>27595249
That just means that levels/grinding don't mean much in SPMD

>>27595301
>So you're saying they were right, for the wrong reasons?
I'm saying they had nothing to base their tastes on, they just put Sky above anything else, even above an ideally better game that they have yet to see anything about.

>Super tries to balance Gates and Sky and ends up taking the worst of both and falling flat on its ass.
I'd say that Super just tries to be what GtI should have been to begin with.

>It's a serious contender for the worst entry out of the whole main four installments.
I disagree.

>>27595316
Too bad, there's a level 55 Dragonite on standby as well.

>>27595306
That's the thing, Explorers is Rescue Team 2.0. Saying the straight up inferior game is better even after all this time is something I'd call nostalgia.

>>27595355
I understand what you mean, but it's ultimately a personal preference. Rescue Team still has some stuff that Explorers lacks (even if you didn't like them, that's the point)

Who should I be in Gates? Been kinda stumped for a while, since neither of my usual cute, CUTE choices are in. Been thinking either Sandile or Marill, and I don't know which of the four normal choices make for a good partner.

>>27595403
Wooper, obviously.

>tfw your favorite made it into gates

>>27595403
If you're using the cheats there's one for the partner as well if you want.

>>27595403
Blitzle, Litwick, Golett, Minccino, Gothita, Leafeon, Glaceon, Azurill, Marill, Pichu, Wooper, Jolteon, Flareon, Vaporeon.

>>27595430
>can't hold hands with your partner
I know you like him and all, but that's not happening. Could be a good third party member, though. He's still an earlygame recruit in Gates, right?

>>27595478
Really? Couldn't find it, but that would make things a lot easier for me. I'd probably go with a Marill partner if that's the case to try to emulate my Sky choice of a cute Dark type hero and round partner

>>27595553
>He's still an earlygame recruit in Gates, right?
Yes.

It's pretty likely that you will be Lv. 30 (or at least close to it) by the time you get to fight these guys, even with Gummi buffs.

What, no. The connection orb system was terrible and felt even more repetitive than the job bulletin boards. They even cheapened out and just granted you new members for basically doing nothing. Not to mention allowing a certain level 50 Dragon-type almost immediately after being able to recruit new members.

>>27604111
Minor details. Overall the gameplay is a massive improvement, to the point where Sky is almost unplayable. You can easily choose not to bring OP members in Super but you can't choose to not kill everything in one hit and never die in Sky.

Super is to Sky what Sky is to Gates. And clearly he's asking about the story which is also an improvement. Please never respond to me again.

I cared about Super's characters a lot more than Explorers', which I feel gave it more impact. The ending was a bit dodgy but it's still good on the feels front.

Why are Connection Orb missions any more repetitive than Bulletin Board mission? They're pretty much the same.

Not really.

Any sense of exploration or scale of the world is dampened by the fact that you're forced to finish the story before being able to do sidequests. It makes sense when you're still in preschool, but not so much when you're out of it.

The story in the second half moves way too fast to feel for, and I lost a lot of interest after finding out what the main villain was. The ending has too many stupid plot twists, and after the incredibly short postgame I was numb.

Connection Orb missions are always the same.

Bulletin' Board at least had some randomness to it.

>>27604800

>>27604733
A lot of missions have which dungeon they're in randomized, which helps.
I never really paid much attention to who I was doing my missions for, but I guess it's a shame we don't get so many weird combinations like that.

>>27604800
Spoilers, man
Also keep playing.

Why they didnt brought back the friend areas to T/D/Sky?
They were really comfy, looking at all the pokemon chilling and the sidequests for the legendaries.
Besides it would have been easier to fill them with the easier recruitment mechanics

>>27604890
He might be talking about the partner system?

>>27604998
Friend Areas were a nice thing, but a bit bad in execution.

For once, 3 were gotten by doing random jobs. Some legendaries' FA had to be bought before you could even recruit them. Few certain dungeons couldn't also be gotten without buying certain FAs.

Still, I wonder what new Friend Areas would we have with the extra 335 Pokemon.

>>27605274
>For once, 3 were gotten by doing random jobs. Some legendaries' FA had to be bought before you could even recruit them. Few certain dungeons couldn't also be gotten without buying certain FAs.
I don't think it's a bad thing, if anything it just doesn't really work well together with the randomized recruiting system.

The Paradise from GtI could have been an improved version of Friend Areas, but i just ended up being a missed opportunity.

how do i do this? gummis?

>>27607283
Yes.

Rescue Team has only one set of IQ Skills, meaning that it doesn't matter who are you using, you will get the same skills.

Unfortunately, you cannot have all IQ Skills, as you can activate only one IQ Skill from a subset.
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/IQ#Red_and_Blue_Rescue_Team

>What's wrong with being bad? I'm bad because I'm bad! Get it?

>>27607408
>600 required iq

so for a single type pokemon this would take a minimum of 86 of its preferred gummi? or am i missing something here?

>>27607545
In case of a pure type, yes.

Dual types are broken as fuck in Rescue Team, as they take BOTH types into consideration (Explorers takes the better matchup instead).

Meaning, a Gummi favored by Poison-types would give 11IQ to a Bulbasaur.

I suggest running Stormy Sea; it spawns all 17 kinds of Gummis and they're relatively common. Remember: Eating them in Friend Areas also boosts stats (Atk, Def, Sp. Atk or Sp. Def by 1; on rare occasions it raises all by 1).

Or you could run Uproar Forest; it has only like 3 types or so, but it's much shorter and safer, while still having relatively a lot of Gummis per run.

I think Inflora Forest had the best ideas for the outside parts of the dungeons. It's easy to figure out, but it's still a nice idea.

>>27607639
i guess i'll try completing stormy sea over and over, thanks

>>27607654
that's a feature I hope comes back, those areas were pretty

>>27605274
It added more to the post-credits story. At least better than the monotous one from Sky where it was spoonfed to you.
Also it added factors to the recruitment system. In Sky its only recruitment rate and level of the leader

>>27608464
Honestly, unlocking plot by Friend Areas is fine with me.

It's just that I don't like: a) forgetting that I didn't get legendary's Friend Area (how does that fucker get legendary FAs, anyway? Some of these are acquired by recruiting the Pokemon, some are bought; this is inconsistent). b) Having to pray to RNGesus that he will give me a mission that rewards a Friend Area.

Wish Cave needs Sky Blue Plains, which is one of these random Friend Areas.

Same. Assembling teams through them were a pain, and not knowing what dungeons unlocked alongside them was pretty bad, but both of those could easily be fixed.

Personally I wish that the Friend Areas were what Super's towns and cities kind of were. I always liked interpreting Pokemon Square as being the "big city", while all of the friend areas were the littler settlements, villages and whatnot. It feels like it fits PMD a lot better than multiple big towns with brick walls and lanterns and all the other stuff (like Noe Town and etc).

Hey can you test to see if Quagsire has special animations if made a starter?

>>27613352
By the way, do you have any progress on SMD? Specifically I want to make Mew a permanent partner, which seems pretty easy since it's a scripted event that just goes away after a while. Couldn't you just freeze a value, or alternately reset it after two-three dungeons?

>>27613435
I'll give Wooper+Quagsire a try in a bit.
Already finding some weird animation problem with Sandile+Marill, where their sleeping animation's messed up. It's not even their walking animation like in Explorers. Marill did that happy animation just fine after he bought the house, though.

I'm not the guy who's trying to mod Super/Gates, so I don't know much about how it should work, though apparently they're having problems with the Pokemon's moveset and ability, an issue that also occurs in Gates when using the AR codes, which is why it's not released yet.

>>27613959
That's pretty annoying, I could just use TMs to circumvent that issue.

Where can I keep myself updated on the progress? GBAtemp mostly just seems to be talking about powersaves and infinite gold bars.

Animations in the 3D games probably work differently from the 2D games. Quagsire also has the same issue with his sleeping animation as the other 3 I've used so far.
Also, unlike Explorers, when a Pokemon has to use a facial expression it doesn't have, it just uses the neutral expression rather than having no portrait appear ar all.

My 'Zard MC in Super used Bite as a main move for a very long time, so I'm pretty fucking sure he eats people.

>>27621542
Wild niggas eat plenty of meat, but those habits aren't typically desired in more civilized parts. Anything goes in mystery dungeons, so get eaten all you like by hungry dragon types. Not sure how common it would be to make protein out of various beans and nuts, cuz I'm pretty sure most predators wouldn't be able to digest them anyway.

I'm sure baked goods and other farm-grown ingredients are super fucking common among mass traders, that's probably what the economy even subsides off of to begin with.

>>27622795
By "not released," the startermod that they were trying to make in Super isn't downloadable yet because of those issues. I'd suppose it could be fixed naturally by changing abilities at Hawlucha's shop and leveling up to learn natural moves, but I guess they just want it to be perfect, or there might be some other issues.

Generic units have some actual dialogue/supports that give them a sense of personality/plot relevance. It'd also make more sense to bring them along for more plot-related missions if they had a personality, because then they wouldn't be pushed aside constantly without any dialogue, and by doing that you'd get more freedom when picking a third/fourth party member rather than having both spots empty/filled with plot characters you can't freely pick.

There is nothing wrong with an Eevee partner. I ran player and partner, it wasn't very difficult.

>>27631365
how do I get screen shots to be bigger, please?

>>27631333
fuck trips
I know exactly how this playthrough is going to end

>>27631420
You using Desmume?
It should have an option to make the video larger, under view/window size

Other then that, idk, read the manual for your screenshot application of choice.

>>27631556
screen shots are the same size no matter what my settings are, so
also using Desmume screenshots

>>27631076
You don't want to know.

>>27631309
Those dungeons in Gates to Infinity constantly want you to use other story characters rather than recruit. Well, the whole recruitment thing in GtI makes no sense, you could even use the badges to get back home instead of needing a magnagate.

>>27632433
he's going to ask anyways you know

>>27632433
Now I definitely want to know.

What is this Eevee and Absol meme?

>>27633085
A good few months ago someone created Espanon, a meme sexual predator Espeon character. Absol was involved... somehow, I didn't actually pay much attention so I don't know the details.

Absol was the best friend and closed lover

Then use something other then desmume for screenshots, I used xfce4-screenshooter myself

>>27633893
hmmm, how does that one work?

>>27633925
its for a type of linux desktop, I'd suggest googling it if you're interested.

Idk what all is available for windows though, though I'm sure there;s plenty of free (or easily pirateable) ones

I like this part of the story, even though it makes no sense. Even if we ignore the other recruits, why don't any of the Pokémon helping you out join your team, at least for a while?

I have no idea why this ending gets to me. It already happened in the last game. It doesn't have proper consequences like in Super. But I didn't cry during any of those.

It's that one line. You've just beaten the final boss and you're still there, everything's fine, time for a happy ending. And then (... My body feels heavy...) Goddamn it.

>>27623516
I'd consider Super a close second to Explorers, and I've heard of people liking it even better than Sky. It patches up Gates' problems (Belly returns, every mon except Volcanion present and recruitable (Hoopa is kind of dumb mechanically, but it's there)), and adds some unique touches (Alliances, Looplets, etc.).

Thanks anons. I only roided up my main and my partner, though. That's it.

Am I gonna make it?

>>27641120
Roids mean nothing in level 1 dungeons

>are you gonna make it

fuck if i know, even the best of us eat shit there. Also, new thread time

>>27641120
No, you'll die on the floor just before the last due to some bullshit, and then spend the next hour crying with no one to hold you and tell you it'll be ok.

new thread incoming sit tight

get in here guys

There are at least two Destiny Towers, one in super and one in sky. The Super one isn't a lv1 dungeon. If he's playing super his roids will help him. If he's in sky he won't be able to take his partner and his roids will mean nothing.

>>27641120
Shit, you're talking about Super
Bring the Satiated Looplet and some Emera-Up Orbs and use them all as soon as you enter.
Take a Progress Device if you're really worried about having to do it all again if you lose
Also wands, of course
