There are people who thinks PMD series are better than main series
There are people who don't?
The gameplay is repetitive garbage but so is the main series at least PMD has an entertaining story... most of the times

>implying it's not
>Muh story is more important than gameplay

but mainline pokemon has neither of those things lol

It is. Honestly I don't care much for PMD's gameplay but the story makes it (R/B and Explorers) better than any other Pokemon game.

PMD are overrated shit. The gameplay is slow and cluncky as fuck, the concept of level design is not a thing in them, everything looks boring and there's nothing fun to explore, you're forced to use a NFE, the team you can make is smaller and so on. There's not a single place, not a single thing where PMD exceed the main series. Even the music shit most of the time, compared to the main series.
And the stories are overrated as fuck. I won't say they're bad. They're not. They're far better than anything the main series had, before SM. But they're still no masterpiece. The pacing is especially SHIT, and most of the characters are just kind of boring. Especially in everything pre-3DS. But because they MUH TRAGIC AND SAD STORIES, faggots treat them as the ultimate form of story. You know, to act like faggots who "deep and refined taste" because they like this type of story. And even that is no longer a PMD thing. You can't even compare any PMD story to SM's. The level of detail is different that PMD looks just cute in front of it.
>inb4 implying SM story was good
Far better than PMD shit.

Someone needs to say this from time to time. Most of those who play PMD either love it or HATE it. Those who love it sing its praise. There's no one to just say fuck PMD because those who hate it never finish it. The story is especially overrated because of this. Even those who drop it can at least criticize the gameplay. They can't criticize the story, because they don't know the story.
So while this post didn't exactly criticize the story properly, just the statement on how it's kind of shit is nice to hear. PMD, especially the Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky have the Clannad effect. You know they're shit, everyone know they're shit, but they're sad, so everyone looks past the shit.

I agree with you in a lot of things but...
Have you heard at least one track of the PMD ost????
People who think PMD is the best Pokemon game, let alone a GOOD dungeon crawler, will probably defend anything with pokemon in it.

That's not true even the most delusional of people can't and won't defend this board
I used to have PMD:ETED but I got bored of it and either gave it away to my brother or sold it.
Kind of regret it now.
>>32495019
I like SMT and Etrian Oddissey, PMD is fucking shit
>>32495774
You're missing the point of the gameplay, but even then the gameplay is weak for its genre, and you're absolutely right in that the stories are some of the most overrated things in the entire medium.

I enjoyed the first PMD a lot, what games do you recommend that I could easily play on pc for free?
