Stupid question, should I eat vitamins/ginseng inside of a dungeon or out? I remember hearing a caution for one of them, but I can't remember which.

>>29367495
You can't eat them outside a dungeon, unless you mean Spinda's Cafe.

Don't use them there. Save them for Pierce Hurling so you can get 2 or more buffs off the same vitamin.

Using Gummis is almost always best used for the Cafe, HOWEVER! If you need to grind IQ for some pokemon to evolve them, just to have them recruited, pierce hurling gummis is a great way to grind IQ. Eating Gummis in dungeons is the only way to get an all stat up from a Gummi, but it's rare to get a stat buff from them in a dungeon to begin with. In short, use vitamins in dungeons with pierce hurling, Gummis in the Cafe.

I hate what they did to recruitment in Super. I want to feel like I'm building and leading a team, not hiring a bunch of mercs damnit.

>>29373029
It's not like we started real big in Super, though. First group we were was basically the Get Along Gang, at least the Exploration Society was a legit job, even when the world isn't ending.

Is there a way to remove videos you saved at Meowth Theater?
I looked at my SD's data and noticed there's stuff for SMD but I'm not sure if it's ok to delete it.

I need your input /pmdg/
I was looking on craigslist for a copy of Explorers of Sky (lost mine, god knows where it went), and I came across someone selling a copy of Explorers of Darkness for $5.
I already have Explorers of Time, and like I said I was looking for a copy of EoS, but this seems like as solid deal. Should I shoot or let someone else experience it?

>>29383857
You have Time. Darkness is the same exact game save for like 5 recruitable pokemon. Wait for Sky

>>29383857
If you already have EoT, then there is no reason to buy EoD unless you just want it to have it, are trying to do a 100% recruit run or something.
If you want it, buy it. It'd probably be pointless, but five bucks is basically giving it away for free.

So, what's the hardest you've ever been fucked over in PMD?

Myself, Jirachi KO'd itself in Wish Cave when i tried to recruit it, so i had to make a wish. The wish got me Unown.

what is a good third team member for rescue team? (my current team is cubone and charmander)

>>29393848
Cresselia being an idiot in Dark Crater.

You do? Oh sorry, must have been a regular mon then. Still haven't gotten Mew to this day despite owning the game for six years now

>>29408661
why?

>>29408768
The only thing GtI has over Super is Mysteriosity and Paradise building (which I lament the abandonment of, I hope those come back some time). Literally everything else is better.

>>29408823
Story's considerably better than Super's too Though that's not much of a feat

>>29408823
GtI's also the last game with the old recruitment system with you being able to get multiples of the same species, and the ability to give other mons names.

>>29408880
I miss this system so much. I also miss the rescue missions.

>>29410066
Nothing about Explorers is amazing outside of the OST.

Have you replayed it recently? I used to believe the "Explorers is perfect" meme but my opinion changed after I went through it again.

>>29410164
>the story gets worse when i know all the twists and exactly what is going to happen
You don't say.

>>29410240
No, that's not how it works. If it was actually good it would still be good even after replaying it. Just because it's surprising doesn't mean it's good.

>>29410066
Grovyle and the guild were cardboard cutouts, I don't see how they were amazing in any way. Sky doesn't do much to redeem them, besides give the protagonist a reason to meet the partner due to Bidoof's wish and Igglybuff. The plot's only good in comparison because normal Pokemon plots are either nonexistent or pretty bad, so the bar's already set low.

>>29410240
Even going into it blind, Sky was just alright compared to other game series.

For Sky, theres a save editor.

For Super, theres a guy here that can give you a custom save, but you NEED to be on 11.0 or lower for your 3ds.

>>29413145
Sky Editor or Action Replay codes for Sky, NTR (which needs CFW) for Super. There's a pastebin guide in one of the links on how to do it for Super.

If you're unable to use NTR, I can make a save with Mawile/any other partner for you tomorrow. You'll need to be able to access Homebrew to do it with that method, though.

However, Chunsoft is a partner for the Switch. Odds are good that we'll get one, since Mystery Dungeon games are easy to program when you have a whole trained team and assets are given to you by Nintendo.

>>29418780
Yes, but there is more to it.

According to VGchartz, PSMD sold 1.2 million copies. Combined, Dang It Ron Paul (plus sequels and spin-offs) sold about 1.3 million on all systems. So here's a few important takeaways.

Chunsoft is a third party developer that can go second. They get paid by Nintendo, and are given a ton of assets, to make the Mystery Dungeon games. This is a huge boon, because they can use that money to pay programmers to make other games in their 'downtime' from PMD.

Yes, 999 and Dang It Ron Paul have big media empires, with novels and manga and other stuff that makes them money. But they are not dumb enough to turn down Nintendo money.

one is still something, yes, but it's still jack shit

>>29420763
Then you were probably thinking of the edit where sylveon was querying the viewer about whether or not he or "she" has ever received fellatio from a Pokémon.

>>29421158
Nobody called you an asshole, I called you a dipshit.
I didn't have any of the images when this conversation started, and anon did not specify what version of the image he was remembering and wanted.
I found the original within seconds, and told the anon to stop being lazy and get it himself since it was so easy, and then he proceeded to sperg out like a jackass because it either wasn't what he wanted and couldn't say it wasn't what he wanted, or was too mentally challenged to notice that he could scroll down.
I then found another edit by not being a fucking dumbass, and am now enjoying three different versions of the image, none of which I will share with dipshits who can't properly convey what they want and keep themselves from sperging out like autists when they don't get it immediately.
If you really want the image, come back later when I forget you exist, and ask again.

We still provide one location for the games and guides for them. Heck, in true Mystery Dungeon fashion, we provide international rescues.

On top of that, we've gone all the way around from being bored to bring productive in making a fangame.


Speaking of the fangame, did people ever decide what kind of town/city the main hub would be?

We still have people new to the games coming here from time to time.

Why are you being autistic about cute stuff and discussion about the games? Calling it average and not amazing isn't a sign of being sick of it. Also you're the only one trying to force the waifufaggotry thing, it's been like this ever since at least Super with the partner and I'm pretty sure it was like this even before that.

>On top of that, we've gone all the way around from being bored to bring productive in making a fangame.
Said fangame being coded mostly by one person, the others are just posting fanfic plot ideas and a clusterfuck of a starter selection. Most discussion on said fangame died after one or two threads, not much has been posted besides one anon showing the things he coded in.

We haven't.

Would it be better to have bank and deposit like in the DS games or the deposit box like in the 3DS games?

>>29422975
depends on how you guys are handling things. if it's just one long dungeon, like shiren, and you can't return to town at any point unless you get your ass kicked in, then storage and a bank would be kinda pointless, unless you have some way to reliably keep shit when you die.
If you're going to provide breaks and rest stops, sorta like sky peak or whatever it was called in EoS, then boxes would be best.

>>29422975
Probably easier to have it be in one place.

>>29422975
Deposit box. Putting an NPC in charge of it might be the best of both worlds (dialogue + convenience).

As long as you don't have to go through a loading screen to go from one to the other it doesn't really matter in my opinion. If you want to do something with the two facilities that you can't do combining them go for it.

Wiggly for hug. Gengar for fug. Would be Grovyle, but he belongs to Celebi.

Worst is Alakazam for hug, and Gurrdurr for fug. Nothing against his personality, but dear God imagine the chafing.

>if it's just one long dungeon, like shiren
I get that at first we'll have the one mega dungeon, but apparently it will be structured like the actual PMD games later in development. Will the dungeon still be a "mega dungeon" like that though? It sounded like it was going to be part of the plot.

>>29423092
Wigglytuff is the best.

>>29423250
I don't know what you guys are doing anymore.
I thought you guys were making a short simple shiren style version with just one long dungeon first, so you could polish the gameplay and fix any glitches that might pop up, and then move on to a more complex fuller game.
I assumed that they would be, more or less, two separate games upon completion.
Are you not doing that anymore?

>>29423250
When are we actually going to be able to play this? Any idea?

>>29423092
Ampharos a best for both hug and fug.

>>29423315
Tomorrow.

>>29423296
That's what I meant too, but I don't see it as being two different games when completed. I thought the "fuller" one would replace the single dungeon one.

>>29423414
When I originally suggested a simpler game first, I meant for it to be completely separate from the fuller more traditional PMD styled game that would eventually be made, with it's own bare-bones plot and setting, so the person working on it would be able to focus on getting a basic engine and gameplay put together without getting caught up in trying to make fancy personality systems, and cities, and a detailed plot, and all that extra nonsense.
You guys can do whatever you want, I don't really care about any of this, and I won't object to any of your decisions. I just thought a basic shiren/rogue style game to start with would be easier on the single person putting any actual effort into the project.

>>29423653
I don't see how that's different though, isn't that what you'd have to do first either way? That's what I meant.

>>29423793
I dunno man, I don't know what's going on anymore. Just like, do whatever.

Reason I'm asking about the town or city or whatever we will do is because I have some free time after work. I might as well try to contribute by making one, or at least trying.

>>29424474
Good on you. I'll look forward to seeing your work.

>>29424345
It will never be tomorrow, because once we reach tomorrow, it gets replaced with a today, and a new tomorrow takes it's place. The game will come out tomorrow. It will always be coming out tomorrow, from here until eternity. When the rules of reality no longer apply, and we will finally reach tomorrow, and it doesn't turn into a today, but instead remains tomorrow, then, and only then, the game will be released.

>>29424522
Oh, I finally understand. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

>>29424542
We all are, except for the people who aren't.

I think the town/city should be designed in a way that makes sense (like RT's, everything else is kind of dumb)
basically you just need to take a few step in a specific direction to get to the dungeon(s)

>>29425253
I'd rather it be more like Super where you only have to walk in one direction (unlike how you go base->town->bulletin board->town->base again in RT) and everything is in one area. Without multiple hubs, I feel that Super's is designed the best.

>>29425403
Ignoring the bulletin board in RT, it's perfect. you go down, you can get your letters. Then you can go down to go to the dungeons, left for the friend areas and right for the shops. Super has the advantage that you always have the connection orb with you, but it doesn't work well until you can use the nexus

>>29425589
>get letter
>aggron wants a rescue in Tiny Woods

It would have made more sense if you got letters in GtI instead of having the boards.

>clusterfuck of a starter selection

this ^^^^^^
You can't please everyone with such a selection and add all types. The game would be broken with a ghost type starter for example, since you could just go thru walls to avoid anything (sure your hunger goes down a bunch, but getting food items is piss easy).

If you really think about it, Chunsoft had several opportunities to give us 1 starter of every type to choose from. But they didn't, because it overshadows the starters we have and can be a gamebreaker.

>fanfic plot ideas
the whole wishing thing and how that somehow causes issues feels fanfic-y since it makes little to no sense and feels tacked on 2bh

>>29430350
>feels fanfic-y
nobody would mind better suggestions or nailing down a good elaboration of this statement if you can

>>29430350
To be fair, all PMDs have shitty fanficcy plots, Jirachi wishes make more sense to me than the Ninetales legend and Super's stone Pokemon plot.
I will agree that the starter selection is too big, just use Sky's and add one or two reps of each type, being non-OP mons. Maybe add one "I suck at the game" choice to replicate Skitty, Axew and Chespin.

>tfw the next pmd game will probably be bogged down with 7 boring starters for the three types and they'll probably call that a lot of starters

>>29431803
I understand that, but why should the plot be focused on when a game engine hasn't been made yet, possibly never at this pace? Some anons should help out coding anon and make suggestions on how gameplay should go, otherwise you're gonna end up with another GtI (good story, bad gameplay) in the end when an engine is completed at some point.

Coding anon may be the only one able to code (and maybe doesn't want help), but if people really want a fan game going there should be more work put into coding and learning it.

>wishing plot
I personally don't like the idea since it came about because people hate the idea of another EoS/SMD save-the-world plot, and that its difficult to write out since they're trying so hard to avoid it. What's so bad about it? Each game had you save the world, but they had other things in-between and different ways at going about it.

>>29432228
>I personally don't like the idea since it came about because people hate the idea of another EoS/SMD save-the-world plot, and that its difficult to write out since they're trying so hard to avoid it.
No, it came up because anons preferred comfy to saving the world, they never outright hated what Explorers did. In fact someone tried to propose the idea that a wish could be like Pandora's Box, screwing up everything and getting legendaries pissed at you, resulting in you having to save the world. The only reason why it's not in right now is because there's no logical way to make it fit without it ending up as a shitty mess like Super's half-assed attempt at drama after establishing something more grounded.
Also don't see how the plot originated means it's bad, if someone randomly came up with a bunch of shit in 10 minutes, but ended up flowing well and works, then it works. Same here.

>>29432228
I only took 1 class in coding, so I'm no good. But I would like to give spriting a shot, so I'll try that.

>Wishing Plot
It was picked just as a starting point, to get the ball rolling. In fact, there are several routes available to go elsewhere.

>Mundane Options
As you dig deeper, there are two very easy things that could move the story elsewhere. One was that you'd be asked to look for materials that are either rare or sell for a lot. It might seem simple, but plenty of hard stories have come out of people being unaware pawns in something bigger. A second chance to derail the thread was to find out that there is/might be some medicine in the dungeon.

>Special
I mentioned it as a joke, but a Legendary Pokémon finding you and having you help him find something at the bottom of one super dungeon easily allows the story to go to more mythical places.

But the guiding principle so far has been to keep it simple. Stories that would even move /mu/ should be held until we have the system down. Once we have it down and release it into the wild, we can put out a guide showing people how to make their own cool stories and games.

What about fan works? Or is that considered a no-no in this thread?
Do you know any good fanfics or comics?

Typing "good" and "fanfic" in the same sentence feels a little wrong for me

>>29441415
Plot-wise, I think a lot of things would be improved if characters simply had more personality to them. Give players a reason to care about them and the world they're in. Most of what's been actually characterized was either based on typical anime/manga cliches, with nobody breaking out of the mold or progressing in any way. The exception to this was the partner, who isn't very likable. Throughout the plot, all he really does is act timid, using you as a crutch to do even the simplest tasks. While he had some more character than the rest of the cast, it was still relatively weak.
Plot-wise, I think it wasn't bad, just not good either. As a story, it's rather generic, but still passable. I think other characters should have played a bigger role throughout, or have SE-type missions integrated into the main story to give side-characters some spotlight and more characterization while also being relevant to the overarching plot. The thing that really bugged me was all the asspulls going on. Having the player come back through the power of friendship, while stupid, has to be done for gameplay purposes, but resurrecting everyone from the future was unnecessary, especially since said characters were okay with their fates and did what they did regardless of what would happen to them. Darkrai being the reason behind any plotholes or unanswered questions was also annoying, even handwaving it would've been better.

>>29421919
>>29422975
Well, for starters, the type of town/city depends on what you plan on making that place. Is it a hub for explorers, a port city, regular town, an outpost/rest stop for travelers, a city with higher education and studies such as archaeology or, a bad run-down city?

Just go with deposit box. It's more convenient and maybe easier to implement.

>>29431803
>background plot
so here's a spitball: outlaws everywhere, catching all of the gang bosses for excusive rewards is a sidequest
probably won't be enough on its own, though

>partner wishes for good friend
you fulfill that wish when your character follows the voice (wish) calling out, soon wandering into your partner's world and exact location

>Poképlace
another spitball: your partner studies in higher education (this world's equivalent, at least) and is an aspiring archaeologist/environmental scientist/any study that is very relevant to exploring or travelling. (S)he is lonely because most people are either busy out in the field and (s)he has not gotten along well with certain colleagues after something went wrong on one outing with them.

Thanks for the reply, mate.
There are some explanations that I can give, but not justifications
>anime/manga cliches
the japanese media I look at tend to have characters that are easy to pidgenhole. I don't look at much, so I could be wrong
>darkari was behind all this and cresslia is trying to stop him
probably need a reason to shoehorn in more Gen IV legendaries
>SE could integrate into main story more to improve side character development
it was easier to just have unrelated stories for the writers
>resurrecting everyone
they were probably playing it safe because death is too gloomy of a subject for kids

Again, none of them are justifications, just explanations.

Also you forgot to mention the dumb overuse of flashbacks.

On a side note, how would you make the partner better? Maybe make it so that in one of the boss battles, you become knocked away a distance and your partner must stare down the boss alone and show courage to allow you to catch your breath (the battle itself starts you off separated a few units away from your partner with the boss focusing on him/her). I'm no writer or critic.
