So I finally reached Jirachi in team red after not playing the game for a long time, but I wasn't able to wish for a rank increase despite me being only diamond rank. Am I being rused?

>>31392346
You should have been able to wish for Something Good. You DID bring the Wish Stone, right?

>>31392361
Yeah, I wished for something good and got an Espeon as a member, which is fine by me, but I'm still confused why I wasn't able to get Lucario rank...

>>31392384
Max rank doesn't really seem to do anything other than guarantee you get a recruit from wishing, and gives you the lucario statue. If you're wishing from Jirachi you're probably wishing for bullshit like .6% recruits from Destiny Tower.

Guess my guide needs a little modification, i only ran it once under max rank and got max rank from it

>a PMD game where you actually interact with environment in some meaningful ways
>a PMD game that explains why the hell there's always fuckton of ruins by letting you build some of them in first place.
>a PMD game with city building and resource management elements.

Am I mad, or would this actually make rad game?

>>31392401
Oh wait, so the wish outcome is either a new partner or rank increase?

>>31390876

>>31392473
1. Unfortunately, the only place in games period I've seen that were fangames, where you could use battles to manipulate overworld.
2. idk
3. Gates was close enough, and the idea is pretty nice.
>>31392587
Wishes are:
1. 10-18k money
2. Wish Cave items (not sure if it also checks for shops)
3. Friend Areas (if you have all he's like "shit i can't do that, choose something else")
4. Level and stat boosters
5. A special thing (Instant rank-up->Pokemon you don't have->Money)

There are like, three bosses left. Do I get accepted into the guild post-game or something?

>>31392923
Ya Boi has way more charm and personality than the entirety of PMD Team Skull

>>31392473
>>a PMD game with city building and resource management elements.
Gates had base building, it wasn't kinda bad since to upgrade to lvl 2 you needed materials that you get in the very late game but it was something.

>>a PMD game where you actually interact with environment in some meaningful ways
Also Gates tried to do this but in a very basic level, sometimes you had a puzzle where you needed to take down trees or push logs to a river so you can jump on them and get to the other side.

Gates tried to do a lot of things yet the only thing that got to stay was the 3D graphics and the gold bars shop, how dissapointing.

I meant this as something akin to 'hit certain rock, some resources might fall out' or 'slash a tree and you'll get timber'. The you'd use those resources to build first settlement on crash-site of your colonist ship, because living in damp wooden husk isn't nice. Then because your subjects need things you found sawmill, then quarry, then orchard, then you find sawmill got it's own village already, then you need harbor to let Kecleons to come and establish trade, then your royal alchemist (Kadabra/Croagunk/whoever) needs glass for his laboratory, and all of this happens when you try to solve why 99% of mons on the archipelago went bonkers, your father decides to check how his least prospective heir does, half your duchy believes in deity they call Chic-Ken (Tapu Koko) and demands you to erect a cathedral to it, etc etc etc.

Damn, that would make great fangame. If only I had time for this...

>>31394678
Take out Dark matter and leave just Yvetal.
Yvetal is going to sleep and as such it's gonna take the life of everything around it, so you and your partner need to find a way to stop it.
Also, you never get to join Ampharos exploration society because they're from another continent, instead you make your own expedition society for your continent with the kids at the village, so they stay relevant through the game and get more development.

>>31394844
You want some PMD to the style of MGS V, and i think that would be great, it's so easy to make, and Gates was sooo close to it, it only needed for you to be able to send the other pokemon that you recluit to missions and have them get exp and materials for those missions, sadly they totally abandoned that at Super, which is such a dissapointing thing.

>>31394832
The main characters' ages should be ambiguous enough so that there is a wide range, but I would think that the ideal range should be between 10-19.

I'm going to go off a tangent that is about a new story scenario rather than Super's.
I think if the story scenario took place during hard times, such as a minor drought, famine, or something else, that forced Pokemon, even those who are still kids, to go out and forage or scavenge, that would give justification as to why kids are employed in search & rescue.
Hell, I think GtI was really onto something when they had a setting where shit sucked. If the next story gave some examples as to why things are shit and the consequences to things being shit, that would enrich the story a lot. There could be a sidequest where you capture high-profile outlaws from different gangs. Your partner could be from out of town, but later takes you to their home to meet their friends and family.

>>31394866
I like the idea of managing your own guild. Also Dark Matter was unfitting and I feel it was only added because Chunsoft wanted to up the ante. It wouldn't kill if the next game just led up to an exploration that doesn't involve the world ending. In fact, you could have it instead be about surviving and saving your comrades in your guild's treacherous journey up a legendary mountain.

>>31394678
I would have made Xerneas the main villain. It turns pokemon to stone so they can have endless life.

>>31395438
>Xerneas
>Turning pokemon to stone
Did you mean Yvetal?, because that's Yvetal's power, to turn things into stone

>Yvetal was turning the infected into stone until someone can find a cure
>In the end, the cure is found and you defeat Xerneas and her allies. The original Pokemon that the infection was based on was Mew or something, who is not really a bad guy and you end up sparing it since it was just a victim of others' ambition.
>Yvetal thanks you, but laments that he has no power to save you from leaving.
>You somehow get back by some miniquest by the partner. Maybe it involves persuading Xerneas to bring you back.

As soon as the summer vacation chapter starts it goes straight into you and the partner leaving for the expedition society instead of having 6 hours of bullshit filler

Whats great about MD is that its something that has a fuckload of replay ability like holy shit its great
But thats also the bad thing. The post-game depression hits so hard, like in Super when your partner says "Good morning!" every. single.day. no change. nothing. Its a really gaping feeling, a void feeling.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for PMDG fanfics? I just got to the current standstill end of Silver Resistance, so now I'm all in the mood to read this sorta thing. Is SR the best one out there? Because it seems pretty quality.

I rather like the whole idea of Wish Cave. Being able to get a wish granted for conquering the dungeon is a cool concept and one of the better rewards we've had for a level reset dungeon.
We need more fun rewards like that. I'll do all the challenge dungeons anyway, but it's nice to get something good out of it.

>>31401592
I completely agree

Have a main pokemon antagonist instead of the Dark Matter, who's doing things for sympathetic reasons
World be less colonized, having life be more sparse/desperate

>>31401013
Northern Desert and the Quicksand Caves were great. Hidden Land, Hidden Highland, and Icicle Forest were some more I loved.

>>31402777
tl;dr you're a victim of the shitty break system. Blame early level 50+ recruits for it.

>>31401013
Buried Relic. The very definition of a mystery dungeon imo. Its very design just feels that way.

>>31397742
I don't remember.

>>31401013
I tend to have the most fond memories of places with good music, so that would either be Sky Tower, Temporal Tower, Abyssal Badlands, Spacial Cliffs, Ancient Barrow, Mt. Blaze, or Blizzard Island. Sky Tower was hard and I don't have fond memories of climbing it. Mt. Blaze made me feel like I was hiking up danger to save my life (I wasn't Fire-type). Abyssal Badlands made me feel like I was tossed into Hell alone with only my close friend. Temporal Tower had Discharging Porygons, which is not fun. The rest I only remember music. I guess you can cross out Sky Tower and Temporal Tower as my favorites to travel in. I'll say Abyssal Badlands because it helped with the struggle and despair vibes.

The entire expedition from Craggy Coast to Fogbound Lake. It captures the adventurous feel of PMD perfectly with its size and scale, and ends with a formidable boss fight and one of the best sights in the game. Not only that, but every dungeon has great music. Plus it's a great finale to the daily life part of the game before bringing up the Time Gears.

>>31403472
you don't have to grind

>>31403594
how do I kick his ass if I can't bring sylveon then

>>31403689
Do you have to do it? Can't you just leave through the gate without a mission?

He's not a boss, he follows the same rules as normal Pokémon. Stunlock him with sleep/paralysis if you have to.

>>31403689
Use wands to inflict Salamence with multiple status effects, then spam Alliances. Blast Seeds and other damaging items might also help.

>>31403689
Items, just use items and alliance attacks

>>31403713
It's for axew connection

>>31403788
I know, I just assumed you felt that you had to do it now and I was just suggesting an alternative. If the story advanced without you taking that mission you could save it for later but if you want to (or have to) do it now the advice given by your fellow anons is solid.

>>31403476
I like Mystery Dungeons world well enough. There's an essence of doing things on your own, but doing them good with a partner and some help.

>>31401029
Not really PMD, but still has the whole "human turned pokemon" thing, except in sinnoh:
Land & Skye: Living a legend https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7739127/1/Land-Skye-Living-a-Legend
I love it for it's peaceful exploration and general comfyness. It's probably my favorite even before Silver Resistance.
Be sure to grab some in-game maps of sinnoh as the author is shitty at describing the surroundings. (or it might just be me that wanted to remember the exact layout of mt coronet, idk)
It unfortunately introduces a cameo from another of the author's fics around halfway, but her backstory can be easily guessed (hint: The fic is pretty much a retelling of Explorers), and their interaction is pretty cute desu.
In either case, it's a pretty short read that's really worth it.

As for other fics, I bookmarked this a while ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/MysteryDungeon/comments/570woh/im_looking_for_some_good_pokemon_mystery_dungeon/
If you follow one link, there's even more: https://www.reddit.com/r/MysteryDungeon/comments/3q5k7g/any_good_pok%C3%A9mon_mystery_dungeon_fanfics/
There was a link on the second page iirc that linked to another post with a bunch of good comics. I've read through most of them last winter but I can't find the post for the life of mew now, however.

If you're considering 100%ing one of them, I recommend RT as it's quite rewarding to see your friend areas fill out. Sky's a lot easier but you're just adding entries to a list.

Is Sky's postgame different enough from Time/Darkness to warrant another go at all recruits?

>>31419356
Sky has multiple new dungeons, more ways to get jobs, and some legendaries have been moved.

The only think I might be able to recommend, is Victory Fire, but that's just very popular, and while fine, it has it's edgy parts and it's clusterfuck of headcanons doesn't do the transformation aspect any good.

Hell, I've never read a good transformation comic. I like them psychological, for which comics just aren't the right medium. But even in the fanfic department there's shortage of good ones. Land & Skye is a good one, but besides that, the last good one I read was a My Little Pony fanfic.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Ash-Greninja, dummy. Just the name itself means that including the form in the next game makes Ash canon to PMD.

>>31434528
Oh, that's what I assumed. I think SM will be the only game to have it though. Maybe the next main game as well, but that's it. Just like Cosplay Pikachu and Spiky-eared Pichu.

>>31426229
>>31426092
That's a shame, since that's a pretty good aspect I like about pmd; learning how to cope with the form change and resolving whether or not you'd like to turn back is a really gut wrenching psychological debate in itself, despite how trivial it'd seem to some.

More stories that focus on change of lifestyle, adaption of movement, utilizing instinctual resorts- that'd be my cream of the crop.

>>31435956
That'd be nice, too bad any stories that might exist are probably just loaded with fetish bullshit. I can't write for shit, though.

wait which game explains that the gengar from blue is the guy from the nintetails legend just read a comic that spoiled that fact or is that somebody's headcanon?

>>31436141
blue

>>31436145
how the fuck did i miss that?

>>31436153
I don't actually remember, but maybe it was in that one part of the postgame centered about Gengar. Maybe you never got there.

>>31436153
oh i guess its in the postgame stuff i didn't do

>>31436185
It's only implied in the main game

>>31435956
We have a very similar taste, anon, it's the reason I like the storylines in PMD so. But then again, no comics I can recommend. As for fics besides Land & Skye, I've been able to find very few besides fetish shit, and those were poorly written or good up until one point where everything turns to shit.

>>31435956
Most stories make it seem trivial. I only know of Pokemon: The Unknown Continuum being the fic that I've read where the protagonist had a negative reaction to it and wanted to go home.

Victory Fire had the aspect of human-Pokemon fighting as if they were human and realizing that they need to fight differently since their bodies do not support human fighting techniques.

Silver Resistance helped the human fight with a Ditto trainer. Also instincts helped the human identify some of his abilities.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Overthrown had the human try to snuff out his own tail flame, but found it difficult to attempt and regretted it immediately after trying.

You really should. Sticks can hit Pass Scarf enemies with no consequences, and you can aim them just fine while confused. They're pretty OP.

>>31436661

The Pass Scarf is the definition of a crutch item in a level 1 dungeon

>>31426970
>level grinding takes forever
>what is western cave
recruiting Mewtwo was worth like 20 levels, from 40ish to 60ish. Granted, that's two runs because Mewtwo is a dick.

>>31436661
Speaking of Buried Relic how does Mew's spawn rate work? Can it appear at any time or is decided upon the entering the floor at a certain percentage?

>>31438018
i'm pretty sure it could spawn in a floor randomly if you have that one item, and it's not limited to buried relic, it works in any dungeon

>>31438018
According to this collection of dungeon data http://www.gamefaqs.com/gba/929408-pokemon-mystery-dungeon-red-rescue-team/faqs/40256 it's a regular spawn with an Exeggcute-tier encounter rate

Silver Trench monster houses can eat a dick

>Chinchou confuse you and paralyzes with twave

I've been in this room for over 20 minutes with shit too weak to kill me but i can't do kill or run past myself. I'm just gonna restart the dungeon, fuck this shit.

>>31439786
You guys know of any orbs or something to conteract this bullshit?

>>31439811
Petrify? Slumber?

>>31438018
Mew can appear on any floor after Registeel's room randomly with the Music Box in your Bag. It might spawn sleeping somewhere or even in a monster house, and sometimes when it's moving around the floor it'll use Transform (which is helpful in alerting you it's there).

From my experience, even if you fail to recruit Mew on, let's say floor 52, it will spawn again on the other floors until you leave the dungeon or recruit it. So you can keep going through if you fail on the first go. It stops spawning after floor 98.

>>31439820
I'm gonna bring 2 petrify orbs along this time. I also might let some Luvdiscs or something join my time to be diversions when i get close to floor 75

Can someone educate me on what pmd games to play? I played the original on the gameboy and it was great, do the later games in the series lose quality or are they worth playing? I started explorers of time (if I could also get an explanation on why there are two versions that'd be cool too) but never finished and I think it's about time to play some pmd again.

>>31444652
Time/Darkness are the same game barring a few mons. Dont bother playing them if you can play Sky

>>31444572
From what i heard, kinda, but it has other meanings too.

>>31444652
>Can someone educate me on what pmd games to play?
You should play them all but if you're looking for something specific like best story or gameplay then i'll give you a list
>PMD Explorers of sky: Best amount of content, good story and good gameplay
>PMD Gates to infinity: Best story, slow gameplay, no postgame
>Super Mystery dungeon: best gameplay, most weak story, good postgame.

>I started explorers of time (if I could also get an explanation on why there are two versions that'd be cool too)
They tried to continue with the ''oh we got 2 versions on our first game, so we should do the same with the second, even though we only did that because we split versions between consoles'', the only difference between versions are some pokemon.
also with this game they did a third version, that is Explorers of sky, it has special post game stories and it adds a few new things, if you're not too far in, you should swap to Sky.

>>31443953
I thought the PMD team was called "Skull and Crossbones", not "Dokuro", in the Japanese game? Unless my research is lying to me.

>>31444572
It is, I think--which is why the vocals in the Team Skull theme include the line "doku-dok-dok-dokuro" or something like that.

>>31444833
That's the thing, when i said that Dokuro had more meanings i said that because it also means Skull with crossbones.

>the Team Skull theme include the line "doku-dok-dok-dokuro"
Also the male grunts have a voice clip that says Dokuro for when seeing the player, but the name for team skull in japanese is Skull-dan, as in Skull gang.

>>31444941
>it also means Skull with crossbones
Huh, I didn't know that. Guess that's what happens when you trust translator programs on the internet.

Cut school days, incorporate tutorials in the dungeon.

Make exploring the new cities and continents part of the game, instead of making them throwaway hubs.

More foreshadowing and bread crumbles that are more than just "turn to stone!"

Honestly, as long as they cut the schooldays, the story goes from a 7 to a 10.

Good one, anon

>>31450966
I would've made the school days and the stone Pokemon plots separate and cut one of them. The school days were promising, and the idea of a psychologically infectious evil is something I'm a sucker for, but they should've cut one and focus on the other. The story was average at best, but it could've been decent had they gave focus to the characters, making it easier by just having either the children or the guild instead of both, and by ironing out the story flaws.

>>31450883
I'm the poster who mentioned the Jell-o comic.
I should have mentioned it but the artist took down all the pages from DA shortly after I caught up with it (which was around 7~8 years ago). This happened because people were reposting the pages while claiming to be the artist. I remember she even made a journal ranting about how "this isn't why I made these, so I'll keep the comic between me and close friends".
Honestly though, you didn't miss much. I don't remember the comic having anything really interesting aside from the shiny male Gardevoir for comedic purposes, and there were few pages done to begin with too.

Does anyone think a new Pokémon Mystery Dungeon might come out this year? I haven't played anything in the series since Explorers of Time which I really liked.

That's some heavy autism, man
Also if you haven't notice PMD=/=Main line pokemon

>>31455784
The pattern has been of a new game every 2 to 3 years so far, so maybe.
And I really doubt they will go back to sprites, as that would mean having to make sprites for 600+ pokemon when they could use the models they already made and spend resources on more important things.

I can't fucking wait for Ultra Beasts to be in MD. It'll probably be something predictable like a Dark Matter-esque force invading the UB dimension and they take shelter in ours only for us to misunderstand for 3/4ths of the game and attack them.

>>31456011

Sonic Mania is explicitly made as a throwback to the Classic era, made by fans-turned-devs with a huge passion and love for Classic Sonic (including one who reverse-engineered the physics to S3&K and created a new engine based off it, then pitched it to SEGA to make the Sonic 1/2/CD remakes before Mania), it's hardly typical and they're still making 3D Sonic games alongside them. There might be more Mania-style games if Mania sells well (it almost certainly will given the overwhelmingly positive reaction to it) but even so I don't see many other series following in its footsteps.
