There's no breaks if you play on Pelipper Island, but that's only worth doing once you 100% everything, since you can't visit dungeons you haven't fully cleared or do missions.

Super really screwed up when it comes to convenience, on one hand you have preset teams, multiple missions at once, and PI's hub is great, but on the other hand you have breaks, having to navigate many areas before being able to enter a single dungeon, Pelipper Island's inability to do ingame missions, and convenient options that should've been available from the start (Nexus) locked out until you beat the entire game.

Yeah, it's like they put all these great ideas in the game and forgot half of them. I still think the early Salamence and Dragonite are why the break system exists, but holy shit, at least give us SOME way to get rid of breaks. I shouldn't have to hack the game to make my favorites playable every dungeon.

Motivated pokemon was more than enough incentive to use other pokemon, breaks benefit nobosy

How the fuck do you anons do it?

>>29264297
>four times in a row
You mean two, GtI made it a little different and in Super it's almost completely different (it wasn't even trying to be emotional, people don't get it because they got so used to have the same thing over and over they just forgot something different could happen

>It felt forced half the time
The only thing that felt forced was in Explorers when Dialga waited MONTHS for no reason

>>29264468
I like the character set up, I think it's cute. Maybe chaning it sometimes wouldn't hurt though. Also, GtI almost did it, where the Paradise Pokémon are just as important as the partner after all.

>and Super (Where the player did fuck all)
I disagree. He might not do as much as the player character in the other games, but it's not like he doesn't do anything at all.

>>29265392
It'd be nice, but it's not going to happen because people would get disappointed. Also the player character couldn't be a human really.
I liked Super's second half, but I hope future games aren't as "grand", it would just end up annoying.

>>29268782
cute!

>>29271979
Wouldn't they wonder what happened if you suddenly stopped contacting them? Maybe if they know where you live they could check some local stuff from there to see if they find you or something.

>>29277146
Yeah, it's dumb. And not only that, even if they didn't allow you to recruit Pokémon before the Great Glacier, someone like Gurdurr or Quagsire could join your Team just for that (why don't they do that, anyway? It makes no sense, they're always there regardless)

>>29283297
Ooh, we are going to do that ourselves, right? I mean, we could at least take a look at the right .lua file you know.

Stairs usually don't appear. You can enter it, you'll just never get out.
GtI's placeholder DLC dungeons actually have something like this. It's just the room used by multiplayer missions. But it's empty, and there are no stairs. You won't be able to get out without giving up or using an Escape Orb.

>>29289750
Great!
Do I see a missing tile here?

>a 1xn or nx1 to connect to a pxq
What does this mean? I'm curious.

>>29289934
>secret stairways
Wait, you mean the ones in Sky? Can you actually found them inside walls, if that's what you meant?

And isn't the one room orb in Super? I don't really care about it, but I'd be surprised if it isn't.

>>29296670
It is happening.

>>29296632
What do you mean by modern?
>>29293117
Yay!

What other tiles only some Pokémon can walk on could we have? It would be nice if this kind of stuff was for more Pokémon than just Fire, Water, Flying and Ghost.

Also GtI had some different types of doors and "walls" that blocked the way, something like that could be added to the demo too I guess.
If we use that idea from last thread about premade dungeons, doors that require you to do something in particular could help.

>>29299172
>Also GtI had some different types of doors and "walls" that blocked the way, something like that could be added to the demo too I guess.
Hey now, lets not add too many things in right away, just make sure it runs for now

>>29299226
>to the demo
Yeah, of course I got confused by the SM demo. It also happened earlier in the post but I corrected it.

>Hey now, lets not add too many things in right away, just make sure it runs for now
Yeah, I'm not saying anything like that, but at least we could talk about whether it'd be a good idea and how we could use it instead of just letting the thread die. The actual development is obviously not going to do it right away, but talking about it doesn't actually harm it in any way really.

>>29299172
>Do I see a missing tile here?
You noticed!
Yeah, right now what I'm trying to do is find a tile whose "ideal adjacent tiles" are the closest to the actual adjacency. It doesn't really work for every case, unfortunately, but patching in the ideal ones for the trickier cases might outweigh finding an exact match, because it is far less effort.

Of course, finding those erroring cases is trickier.

>>29299129
It's only 4 years old. Oh, and I appear to have mistaken the slowdown during area changes. Sound is still broken, though. It's really just the "talking" beeps, but it seems to wobble between clear and "blurred." I don't understand it, the exact same ROM runs perfectly in No$GBA (aside from saving).

>>29300502
This is pretty cool. I haven't been keeping up with the fangame development, so I don't know if this has been said before, but what are you using to make these custom dungeons? Is it a program you made yourself, or is it a premade program that can be used by anyone?

>>29300591
It's custom. Well, I'm mostly testing the automatic tiling based on whether it's solid water or passable. It's not intended to be used for custom dungeons just yet.

This really makes me wonder what a Mystery Dungeon game on the Switch will be like.
Seeing how the damn thing is capable of Breath of The Wild, what could we expect for a game like this?
I have a feeling the next iteration of the game will be radically different from what we have now. Completely fleshed out 3D environments (which are not limited by 3DS graphics), more complex models and animations, and I'm thinking of a completely adjustable camera angle.
Fuck this could be cool.

There are more reason you would want to download the games files, and PMD is guaranteed to sell well regardless. You'd have a point if it was Shiren or something, but if it has "Pokémon" in its name you know it's going to sell regardless. I'm not saying you shouldn't support Chunsoft by buying PMD games, but there's no reason to not have the links there.
Also, downloading the other version of PSMD is useful for those doing rescues. (The saves are the same, you can easily switch between them)

Speaking of custom starters, I tried to find where the mon species/pre-evolved forms were located on Pelipper Island, since those are stored somewhere else. Since Pokemon never take breaks on Pelipper Island, I thought it would be convenient to have these for people to use, in case they wanted to mass-edit mons without having to worry about breaks.

A137A8 (Pokemon 1)
A138B0 (Pokemon 2)
A139B8 (Pokemon 3)

A137E4 (Pokemon 1 First Stage Pre-Evo)
A137EC (Pokemon 1 Second Stage Pre-Evo)
A138EC (Pokemon 2 First Stage Pre-Evo)
A138F4 (Pokemon 2 Second Stage Pre-Evo)
A139F4 (Pokemon 3 First Stage Pre-Evo)
A139FC (Pokemon 3 Second Stage Pre-Evo)

I also forgot to explain how to edit teammate names. Nearby where the pre-evolved stage files are located, the Pokemon's name is written out in hex. Editing it to something else will be able to change the name. Use 00 if the mon's old name still isn't fully overwritten after you're done inputting your new name.

>>29320916
So, if I got it right they basically have the same effect, it's just that they have different locations when you're in Pelipper Island.

I never thought of explaining editing the name either because I thought it was easy to figure out by taking a look at it in the ram explorer plugin, but I guess it could still help.

>>29321368
Pretty much. There's also a copy of it when you enter Meowth's Theather, but I didn't bother with that since there's no advantage to changing species there compared to doing it from Pelipper, and it might mess up your replay.
This is for the American version, by the way.

While I do enjoy the fantasy lite setting PMD usually has, I'd like to see Chunsoft's take on it if it sets it in something closer to the Modern Day. Getting rides in trains and boats, instead of on Lapras. How would a PMD story be changed if they all had radios and the like.

I wouldn't mind a dieselpunk setting either. Imagine some Dungeon being a never ending train, or having to rescue someone from a hijacked zeppelin.

Do pokemon use the vitamins wen they pick it up in red rescue?

>>29327565
Thing is, if they were to touch on that, they'd have to work it out as to not be so jaring.

Maybe something akin to Spirit Tracks and similar, but tweaked on. I dunno.

>>29327565
Modern stuff like that in a PMD game would kill the aesthetic for me.

The games are fantasy, and while there is some modern stuff in other fantasy games, I feel PMD doesn't need that.
Look at it this way: which is more interesting? The zeppelin/train or the Entercards? Imagine what GtI would be like if you strictly road a zeppelin/train instead of using the Entercards for example. Imagine them using radios instead of Frisms.

GtI is probably a shitty example, but you get what I mean. Imo, it just wouldn't feel like a PMD to me.

>>29328567
ill be honest, I was only in PMD-E and PMD-U for the porn

How do you determine the true difficulty of a dungeon. I'm new to the mystery dungeon, and in super mystery dungeon some dungeon with the same difficulty can be either a walk in the park or full of pokemon that will one shot your team member.

>>29328567
Those examples don't work at all. The reason why they needed Entercards is because they couldn't reach the Great Glacier through normal means, and it's highly doubtful that they'd be able to get there even through train, considering they couldn't fly there. Frisms were treasures found inside of the glacier, it wouldn't make sense for them to randomly pick up radios there.
PMD in general does a pretty shitty job at keeping the "fantasy" theme, with the previously stated Entercards being advanced technology, and Super having its own PokéTwitter and a holographic globe that allows you to instantly travel to those places, both being technology-based.

>>29328142

PMD does a shitty job at a lot of things, but it still manages to retain its charm

>>29315775
Gates had a much better story (minus a couple of Sky episodes), Super had much better gameplay.

>>29328567
It's not so much the fantasy element, but it'd kind of ruin the whole exploration/discovery feel for me.

>>29330012
I disagree. I mean, except for the Connection Orb which is weird, stuff like the orbs you find in dungeons exists and I think it fits well.

Orbs seem more like Wands in that they're like magic, whereas Entercards and the Nexus were clearly made by other Pokemon.

Got to the part when I come back from the future, and I'm still not getting into the plot. Most of the cast is so bland or just exists to fill space, the protagonist is as flat as cardboard, and the main partner's whiny and acts borderline retarded at some points. The actual gameplay's wearing me down too. There's no real challenge to things since the game gives you great items like ranged pebbles to chip damage from afar, and seeds and orbs that completely incapacitate any enemy that poses a slight threat. Am I at "the good part" or do I still have to play for hours before it starts being decent?

>Most of the cast is so bland or just exists to fill space, the protagonist is as flat as cardboard, and the main partner's whiny and acts borderline retarded at some points
This was the main reason I couldn't get into Sky's story either. It's fine plot wise, but since I didn't care for even a single character, it was emotionally dead. Episodes were a big improvement though.

Gates is the reverse for me. The plot was a bit of a melodramatic mess Still better than Super's but since the characters were good enough to make me care for them, the story pulled through in the end.

>>29337463
Story was supposed to get good when you got to the future, but you may like some of the special episodes better. The gameplay starts to be good in some of the postgame dungeons.

>>29337463
If the only thing you don't like about the gameplay is that it's easy, try the level 1 dungeons. If it's still too easy, move to other roguelikes, like Shiren or, if you want something even harder, the traditional ones.

Is there no way to make a day pass without going to a dungeon in Super?

>>29337463
If you aren't having any fun and don't find the plot interesting, then there is no reason to continue playing.

>>29337463
If you're not enjoying the gameplay, Level 1 dungeons might be something you'd enjoy more, since there's actual challenge to it, provided you don't cheese it with crutches like Drifblim or Smoochum.
PMD's plots/stories are overrated as hell anyway, they each have their own major flaws but Explorers' flat cast make it the worst if you like stories for their characters.

Super has better gameplay even before hitting the postgame, the partner's the best in the series, and the general cast in the first half is pretty good, but once you leave the first town the plot itself becomes a huge mess, and the rather decent cast is replaced with literal whos on par with Explorers'. If you're okay with that, you should give that game a try.

The drugs kicked in.

I like to think they misplaced the story. They switched room with some of the other writers, but messed up the notes.

And the SMT team showed up during the tutorial creation and were the ones who suggested that level 8 cute mons should be thrown against that Salamance.

>>29338040
Would have been much better if the school kids remained part of the (sort of) main cast throughout. They were easily the best characters in Super, and they bounced off each other well. Would have been tight as fuck if you met them in the voidlands for three of them being eaten by the shadowy things en route to the exit.

>>29337803
>PMD's plots/stories are overrated as hell anyway, they each have their own major flaws
Name them. The plot is the best thing about the series.

>>29338115
How would you incorporate them before the voidlands? And how could the rest of the characters be improved?

Maybe like Pancham and Shelmet initially try to follow you and you only find out later? And the section before (and after) Nuzleaf comes to visit you could be made longer, to include more interaction with the characters.

>>29338162

>>29338162
The only thing people haven't complained about in these threads is the music so that's probably the best thing.

>>29338162
>Explorers
Suffers from having flat, bland characters that contribute little to the plot. The partner, who actually did have some personality to him, was rather unlikable. The plot tried to take itself too seriously all of a sudden, resulting in mood whiplash. It also started the trend of asspulling their way out of writing blocks whenever anything remotely unhappy comes out of something, like in SE5's ending.
>Rescue Team
Barely anything mattered, outside of Ninetales/Gengar and stopping the meteorite. Everything felt like filler, with it barely contributing to an overarching plot or anything, and said miniplots were forgettable at best. Also suffers from Explorers' bland character syndrome.
>Adventure Squad
No need to explain this one
>Gates
While the characters were decent, the story itself was rather simple and not too special. The partner's desire to make a Pokemon paradise doesn't matter much, only existing so you can actually befriend him, since it otherwise doesn't matter much to the plot. The game also loves to mention how bad the world is every five seconds.
>Super
Everything about the second half that's been said already. From the batshit insane stone plot, to having the most sterile characters in the series, to having everything happen in an instant, there was a lot that went wrong there. Also has even worse asspulls than Explorers, especially with the scarves.
Personally find the music and the fact that any mon is viable to be the best things.

Delet this post and your 4chan account immediately.

>>29339773
I wouldn't say anon didn't consider your problems valid, but the way you presented them it sounds as if they were big, major points that could've been the bits that actually made sense.
To that anon perhaps those points aren't as big a deal. And I reckon that for others they aren't a major problem either.

I can agree that Explorers has poor foreshadowing, though Rescue team was more of an adventure with an excuse. I don't think the plot was the point as much as giving you a reason to go through a bunch of hoops. For Gates, while true, I can't help but consider that PMD in the past has been super bad at not thinking the players are goldfish. Especially Sky.

I think the point of Super on the other hand was specifically to maek you feel like everything's different in Lively town, but the stone plot would've happened at some point anyway.
The scarves don't really have a point, I can agree. The fact that they're given so much time seems like they're just an excuse for the mons to suddenly evolve for reasons.

Considering he doesn't even have hands, I think I'd let that one slide.

Bytes 0xA1B225, 0xA1B1D7 and 0xA1B1FD seem to change from 00 to 01 when a Pokémon is taking a break (I'm testing only with one Pokémon in the third set team, European version). Editing them manually to use a Pokémon who's taking a break doesn't seem to work. I'm looking into it but I haven't found anything useful so far.
The addresses in the American version should be 0xA16795, 0xA16717 and 0xA1673D.

Perhaps the byte you see is merely a report?

The Entercards are fantasy; how else do they work? The Connection Orb I can agree with, but it's still rooted with fantasy unlike the others above. We don't know how they're able to work (electricity? magic? etc.?)

Not that anon but I think a modern town setting could work and still have a "comfy" feel and a sense of adventure, but I don't think technology should replace any sort of fantasy element.
I think the Mother series did it right, with things like train/bus rides to get to other towns for convenience, but has its limits (you could only use them to get to towns, you can't travel anywhere with them) and still had things like the Onyx Hook and PSI Teleport for a more fantasy method of transportation. The late game or anywhere straying from the town removes technology for fantasy, like Tenda Village's weird tribe, Sanctuary Dungeons or Magicant.
It's all about execution.
What you're thinking is to replace everything with modern technology, which wouldn't work well at all.

I suppose it'd come across as strange since the series already established that semi-tribal feel to their settings. They'd need a good explanation (or separate the modernized title from the rest of the series) to justify why things are the way they are.
I was thinking maybe the human-turned Pokemon in Gates succeeded in making a paradise, effectively making life a bit more "human", or electric types using their abilities to their advantage and creating a more modern town.

I mentioned it as a throw away joke a few threads ago, but how about a Weird West setting instead?

You can have trains pulled by Tauros that bring in supplies and Yankees.

The Pony Express would be literal Ponytas and Rapidash.

Psychic and Electric types might find employment relaying messages through an improvised telegraph system.

An easy storyline would be about encroaching on TYPE's lands.

And you in the middle of all this, the 'Mon Without Memories

Experience curve and stat data has been succesfully copied from PSMD. No experience yield though.
Looking into converting the animation XML data into a format that can be more easily imported.
The first steps towards supporting randomly-generated-dungeons are going, as automatically setting up tiles based on adjacencies is pretty much done.
The textbox is somewhat done as well.
Uh.., the battle system and dungeon stuff has been diagramed and is going to be done later.

Some anons have finished a starter list.
There was an anon that was going to post the progress from what he had gathered from the questionnarie.

The plot outline is more or less clear, missing yet is the details.

#pmdgfg on rizon is still where to go.

By the looks of the towns (and especially Noe town), they do look like they're trying to replicate modern human life. Imagine a pokemon finding an old picture book of human cities and thinking that they should try to live like humans.

They still have a long way to go in the technology department, though. The only known working piece of advanced technology is the Nexus and I'm not sure they know how it works either especially not Jirachi.
