Sorry this one took so long. Finals kicking my ass>>56955565>How old were you when you first played a game in the series?I can’t recall exactly, but it was in middle school. Started with Sky. >Would you ever want to see a PMD game have starters be fully evolved pokemon instead of pre-evos?I can’t say I do, their cute tiny statures accomplishing such world defining tasks always puts a smile on my face>What starter typings do you think get screwed over the most in each PMD game?I’ve played the most of Red/Blue Rescue Team to confidently say Grass types get cocked hard>Favorite townsmon?YOOOOM TAH
>>56955565>How old were you when you first played a game in the series?I got Red around when it came out, so I would have been 10 or 11. I think the fugitive arc was the exact moment I became a preteen.>Would you ever want to see a PMD game have starters be fully evolved pokemon instead of pre-evos?Nah, evolving is a reward for hard work.>What starter typings do you think get screwed over the most in each PMD game?Ground's got some issues, in RT especially.>Favorite townsmon?I like that Team Tasty gets their own little arc, that's more than most townies get.
>How old were you when you first played a game in the series?16, first game was dx when it came out>Would you ever want to see a PMD game have starters be fully evolved pokemon instead of pre-evos?sure but you'd need some sort of pre-existing story to make it work but it has a lot of potential>What starter typings do you think get screwed over the most in each PMD game?idk probably ground but there's hardly any starter-ish ground types>Favorite townsmon?i like the caterpie and metapod they have a lot of hope for tiny bugs
>How old were you when you first played a game in the series?I'm not really sure. I was into Pokemon for a few years before Time and Darkness came out and I think I got both versions for Christmas in their release year. A core memory for me is crying while watching the Explorers credits at my grandma's house.>Would you ever want to see a PMD game have starters be fully evolved pokemon instead of pre-evos?I feel like EoS Randomizers scratch this itch more than enough, but I'd like to see something where starter/partner evolution is a part of their story arc growth.>What starter typings do you think get screwed over the most in each PMD game?I have oddly-intimidating memories of Steam Cave and Dark Crater in Explorers, so I'll say Grass.>Favorite townsmon?Team Ebony (Shuppet/Murkrow) in Explorers. Their drive to hunt for rare shiny treasure items still encourages me to cycle through days in-game to try and get a legit Golden Mask mission from the Job Board.
After a lot of procrastination, Project Orion 2.11 is now here! This update features one new evo line, one completed evo line, and various tweaks. Get it here! https://mega.nz/file/IYNlWbAJ#n4nBQjIhSw3XG5Otw8urVilZGHlyEjS7OWR7ZEu_6lc-Smoochum and Mew are now Fully Featured!-Updated Minccino's sprites. Its walk cycle should look less crazy now.-Litwick's line is now here! In IQ group G, it'll be a good help for any team. The line is in Concealed Ruins, and Litwick can be found on 1F-7F, Lampent on 17-20F, and Chandelure on 25-29F. Swap item will come next update.-Cinccino is now added! You'll need a Shiny Stone to evolve into it, or you can find it in Happy Outlook, on floors 10-14.-Quadrupled the Aura Bow stat gains, going from the pathetic value of 1 to 4 in each stat. Still not spectacular, but at least now it has use.-Halved the chance that Aurora Beam halves your attack. Originally, the chance was 60%, but now it's 30%.-Buffed Charge Beams Special Attack boost chance from 40>50%-Buffed Dragon Rage's damage from 30>40. It's ranged now, too.-Buffed the Munch Belt's offense gain from 8>12-Buffed the Oren Berry's damage from 10>30. Better make sure that's a real Oran Berry you're eating.-Changed the level at which Umbreon learns Feint Attack from 36>16-Changed Power Gem's move description to properly describe the move's range-Cut the message that gets spammed if you're using a Solar Power mon in sunlight. You'll still take small damage, but you won't be spammed by messages that slow you down.-Fixed the constant Screen spam throughout the dungeons that have Light Screen/Reflect. No more will the enemies use it when you're nowhere near them.
>>56955565>How old were you when you first played a game in the series?About 9 or 10. I was in 4th grade I believe>Would you ever want to see a PMD game have starters be fully evolved pokemon instead of pre-evos?Unless we're talking eeveelutions, absolutely not. I do enjoy playing as an umbreon out the gate though>What starter typings do you think get screwed over the most in each PMD game?Grass just takes it across the board. All the flying types in rescue team and that postgame dungeon in Gates are the two examples that come to mind. They're weak to bug types as well which are just too common. Getting bullet seed is their only saving grace, and honestly I believe it's overrated. >Favorite townsmon?Plenty of good vendors in the series so I don't really wanna talk about them. I remember Vigoroth from Explorers pretty well. He didn't do very much but I liked his energy. Lombre was also just kinda chill
>>56955823Don't see Team Charm much these days. Nice to see some art, though. I liked the two stories the anon wrote
No hopeNo reliefOnly pain, torment and agony.
Wait, so Dialga was just psychically stalking your partner ever since the tower and decided to revive you on a whim because they cried months later?
>>56956314Cool shit, I'm definitely playing this. Speaking of, anyone know how I could bind joystick input and D-pad movement at the same time on DeSmuME, or is that not possible? I want to control my team with joystick in Treasure Town and use D-pad in dungeons.>>56956483I imagine for a being that controls time itself, it's aware of all timelines at once, which ends up being a form of omniscience, so he probably just noticed "the present" when the partner relapsed and granted their wish
>>56956501>Speaking of, anyone know how I could bind joystick input and D-pad movement at the same time on DeSmuME, or is that not possible?Not that i know of. Best I can guess is you could use Joy2key or something similar to bind dpad/stick to the arrow keys.Also if you play Orion, be sure to check the changelog. There's entirely too much changed to post in this thread.
>>56956546>Also if you play Orion, be sure to check the changelog.Yeah I skimmed the changelog, seems like something up my alley.>Joy2KeyI'm thinking about it a bit more and what I want probably wouldn't work on DeSmuME at all, because the DS doesn't have a built-in joystick, only the 3DS, and the Explorers games aren't coded for it. Playing my own copy of Sky on my 3DS, I can use both joystick and d-pad, but joystick still only has 8 degrees of movement, which is fine, and I have no idea if that can be changed, but I think I'd have to use a 3DS emulator to do what I want for now. That's if 3DS emulators can run regular DS games. I haven't emulated 3DS before, so idk
>>56956623The overworld movement stuff shouldn't be that much of a dealbreaker, since most time will be inside of dungeons.
i have procrastinated so long and any step i take on my page i feel like it's assbut i just take time and come back to it with a fresh mind rinse and repeat, so sorry for the time i take just for 1 page guys, i'll try to stick to a deadline in the future to frame my time more efficiently
>chesnaught updated on pmd sprite repository>full portraits>zero spritesThe sad thing is even when it gets sprites, Quilladin is still lacking, and I won't feel good about the line until it's fully completed.>>56956623Feel free to post your thoughts on Orion in the thread. It might be a thread mostly filled with clover guild stuff but we always like seeing people's playthroughs.That and I need to know if some areas are too hard or if something isn't functioning right. Gotta make sure everything's up and running properly.
>>56957130You're right, I just had a really tough time playing through Sky recently on my DSi XL. My hands were cramping a lot, and diagonal movement using the d-pad was a pain, but hopefully it should be better on emulator with a controller.>>56957260>Feel free to post your thoughts on Orion in the thread.Will do, especially if something noteworthy crosses my mind. I'm not too familiar with what the hacking scene is currently capable of though, so we'll see, I guess. Looking at the starter/partner list and I have no idea what I want to go for, but with new options, that's more of a good sign in my book.
>>56957392If you aren't feeling the starter picks, you can always change them out in Skytemple yourself. It's a very easy edit.
>>56957485I think my indecision mainly stems from me interfacing with IQ properly in my recent Sky playthrough, so I'm just mindbroken to need Stair Sensor at a minimum, but I also want to try new stuff like Nature Giver... maybe.
>>56957260>thoughts on Orionif the dev didnt hate pelipper and wingul like jews hate the white man, it would be perfect
>>56957679>retarded Clover meme autism extends to the modSounds terrible.
>>56958003its not the worst, pelipper is the only victim of autistic hatred and its easy enough to revert the changes with skytemple
Damn… Cider’s mom has got it going on!
>>56958003The birds got lobotomized in the mod long before CG was a thing.
Is there any mod that lets me choose any pokemon for me and my partner in Explorers of the sky?
>>56959057You have to open Skytemple and do it yourself. You go Lists>Starters and simply doubleclick whatever you want to change. While you're at it you might also want to apply some of the premade ASM patches if you want some QoL.
>>56957485>>56957595I think I'm gonna go Gligar starter, Sneasel partner, feels good and it's kinda cute that it's the two Pokemon that evolve with the Claw items in the main games.And look at these two, they're adorable.>captcha: M8GR8
>>56957201take all the time you need dude. Always ok to take care of yourself
>>56959569based
>>56959819I'm an idiot, ust remembered it's Razor Claw and Razor Fang, not Grip Claw on Sneasel. Always mixed that up. Regardless I think I'll have fun with this.
>>56959833No because you’re low IQ, you’ll drop the game after struggling on Mt Bristle.
>>56959869He can just eat gummies. It'll be fine
>>56959869Why are you implying it's close to kaizo difficulty? I've yet to start, but there's no way it's that bad.
>>56959994off to a great start
>>56960111i told you mani TOLD you about beach
>>56960124I now realize that this is going to be a DAILY occurrence for Itzal the Gligar. So begins the adventures of Team Nocturne.
>>56960292Party hard all night long
>>56959869>>56959994...Mt. Bristle was easy, what the fuck were you talking about? I mean it was a little rough after Sneasel ran out of Quick Attack PP and I wanted to keep my Max Elixir since I was close to the end of the dungeon. And Drowzee almost 3-shot Sneasel with Pound, but she used Screech and my singular attack Poison Sting did the rest.
As someone looking to get into the series, which one do you recommend? Is there any that I should begin with, or a game I should try if I were to pick only a single one of the bunch?
>>56960622begin with: blue rescue teamsingle play: explorers of skyI think that's the general consensus.
>>56960644Thanks, I'll give both a try.
>>56960111>>56960292fucking hell, never saw that one before. I gotta go soon but i should be able to fix that, your save will work with the new version.
>>56960111>>56960292I think what might have happened here was I tried to get sprites for an alternative color for Gligar, but they weren't really all that polished? Either way, I tested this out and this should work now, so please save and replace your rom with this version. https://mega.nz/file/QV1FhbrQ#-U4Cj7hdkinKz5NbwbEkeTKPgBHncj6coiMT-APwgbk
>>56960529Shit up lil bro you ain’t getting past Apple Woods. Better drop the game now you ain’t good enough for this.
>>56956314This better have Gible in it.
>>56960913
>>56960935But the thread isn't done yet. It JUST started.
>>56960622Honestly I'd say just only bother with sky
>>56960712Yup, Gligar sleeps in the bed now. No more entering a tweaking fit at the sound of Sneasel sleeping.A bit of instant feedback about Gligar after doing a normal day of missions. Poison Sting sucks and over 4 days of dungeons, I've exhausted its PP in 3 of them because its accuracy is terrible. It went up from 73 to 90% in Gates, so I'd ask to either buff its accuracy or give Gligar Sand Tomb at the start from being an egg move, so he can actually have some damage in the first few days besides his regular attack. I'm not sure, but I think the "reduced EXP for not using a move" is still in the game so it felt bad for that to factor in unless I Sand Attack'd something before mashing A.Sneasel's fine, it's just that there was a whole bunch of Pokemon in Gen 4 that they didn't bother giving well-spaced-out moves until later generations, and Gligar happens to be one of them. Like I was considering adding in Trapinch as a starter but this moveset isn't exactly appealing for Mystery Dungeon and I don't know how to properly balance it.
Tried my hand at a new style. Since I couldn't find any motifs for Lliam I just went with him as the Guildmaster/Founder? of Clover. Practically traced Lliam dancing with Muscari (who I never knew existed before) here:>https://cloverguild.com/booru/post/344Also used Ribombee-Anon's Clover design for reference since it fit the stained glass style bit better.>https://cloverguild.com/booru/post/2188
>>56960622My first one was RT DX, the best gameplay and you'll be ready for Explorers afterwards. Explorers steals a lot from Rescue Team, including themes, dungeons and tropes, so it's better to get through RT first. BRT if you cannot play DX, but be prepared for some roughness around the edges.Also never listen to or reply to any posts which say "only play explorers"
>>56961142Faggot
>>56961612I wish he posted more info about his character. We've all just had to interpret his character for him when we write him into a scene
>>56961612Neat! Good stuff, anon.And yeah, that's part of the Lliam lore that he never actually bothered to write down anywhere.
>>56961742whenever I write him I like to make him act like Mr. Van Driessen from Beavis and Butt-Head
>>56961382Looks like Gligar slipped through the cracks in a couple regards, didn't realize Poison Sting's accuracy was that bad. I don't think I want to buff it that much, probably somewhere in the 80's is okay, but how does Wing Attack sound for a L1 move?
>>56962071Wing Attack in earlier levels sounds good.Something else I'd like to bring up is the few moves that bypass accuracy checks. I'm thinking about picking up an Aerial Ace TM for Gligar, but it has 8 PP. I get that Flying is a good offensive type, but when I replayed Sky and saw Vulpix got Faint Attack as an egg move, and it was buffed to 25 PP (despite having the lowest base power of no-miss moves), since Aerial Ace is the only one that can be taught through TM, 8 PP just feels so low unless you have IQ skills that help with that, which Gligar doesn't. I saw you buffed Swift from 8 to 12 PP, what are your thoughts on bringing Aerial Ace to around the same amount? Maybe 10? Or do you think 8 PP is the proper trade-off for it being a TM?
>>56962242>>56962242>Vulpix got Faint Attack as an egg move, and it was buffed to 25 PPI didn't buff that, Chunsoft actually thought that was a fair amount to give it.Gonna bring Aerial Ace up to 12 as well, any other little issues you can bring up tonight, or should I post a little update again?
>>56962274>I didn't buff thatYeah that's what I meant, that it was buffed from 8 in T&D to 25 in Sky when Vulpix was made a starter/partner. I think Magnet Bomb with 12 base power for 10 PP is odd for basically being a signature move exclusively for Probopass and the Magnemite line unless you added it to some other Pokemon, especially since Steel isn't a great offensive type in Gen 4. Aura Sphere with 16 base power at 10 PP seems fine since it's LoS and the strongest of the no-miss moves. I don't remember if there's other accuracy check bypass moves in Gen 4 that haven't been addressed yet. Other than that, there's nothing I can think of right now, so go ahead and update it. I'll try to write stuff down if I think of feedback/suggestions in the meantime, so I can just list them all in one post. Thanks for hearing me out.
>>56962324The way they choose PP never made much sense to me, I remember Mega Drain is simply better than Absorb in every category, even PP.Anyhow, here you go. I'm always in these threads if you've got questions or comments. https://mega.nz/file/UY9iBCQb#V6z3DUQ5iaW3vSEpad73WOEK03ktf87kQG-PtMc54PY
>>56962351You mentioning this made me decide to just compare all the HP-draining moves in Sky>Absorb: 1 power x 15 PP = 15 (no TM, learned by many non-Grass mons)>Mega Drain: 8 power x 17 PP = 136 (no TM)>Giga Drain: 12 power x 10 PP = 120 (has TM)>Drain Punch: 13 power x 8 PP = 104 (has TM, also cuts corners, wtf? lol)>above have same accuracy, 88%>Leech Life: 4 power x 19 PP = 76 (no TM, pre-Gen7-buff so its buffed form isn't in any MD game, 90% accurate)>Dream Eater: 20 power x 13 PP = 260 (has TM, needs target to be asleep, 100% accurate)I guess the some of them benefit from the Ivysaur/Golbat/Gloom/Bayleef/Grotle exclusive items that allow them to drain the full damage amount, but still, its so weird.Also Gligar got Dream Eater as a tutor move in Gen 3 for no reason and then when it was a TM in Gen 4 they said "no that's too strong"??? That's just as stupid as Vulpix not being able to learn Energy Ball via TM til Gen 5. Thank you for fixing that in Orion btw I was so upset when I found that out in my Sky playthrough.
Read this earlier https://rentry.org/CloverPreludeI liked the characters introduced so far, even if their names make it a little confusing for retarded old me. If the author is still lurking around, I'd like to see you write more.
>>56962440Base power's another thing, i know Stomp has an oddly high amount of base power in the game data, but ultimately base power really doesn't mean much at all. Hell, Thundershock has a BP of 1, and yet it doesn't feel any weaker than something like Water Gun, which definitely has more than 1. Chargeup moves like Dig and Focus Punch are only powerful because the game's code applies a flat 2x damage multiplier to such moves
>>56962477Wait so it just wasn't standardized until the 3DS era? What the hell. I thought base power correlated to the number of stars on the stats screen, but I think I remember seeing a few places where things didn't line up. How would you go about adding new moves then? Do you just use other moves as a reference or would it be better to just uproot it all and re-standardize move stats in the DS era?
>>56962523I'll be real, I don't actually know how to add new moves.
>>56962535I don't know if it's possible either, I read the SkyTemple FAQ like a week and a half ago and I don't remember, so I'm talking out of my assIn other news, REST IN PISS, POISON STING YOU WILL NOT BE MISSED
>>56962351no hypno slander allowed
>>56955823That looks great! The composition is very cool.I assume you read Thunder Dome. I hope you enjoyed it. It's an older story, but I feel like it's one of my better ones.>>56956417Charmander and Natu are Team Oracle, actually (though the Charmander's nickname is Charm).I also liked the anon's content. The characters were fun.Might as well take this chance to share a little drawing of Team Oracle that I never published.
Anon, help
>>56962535One-Room Monster House on the last floor of Apple Woods? Is that hard-coded?
>>56962906it's a feature
>>56962906You probably hit the failsafe for if a level can't generate properly.
>>56962920>>56962919I had that happen once on my last playthrough for an outlaw mission, but it gave a message saying something was wrong and the outlaw wasn't there, but no message here.Anyways, swapped to manual controls and carefully squashed all the bugs and I was rewarded with an Ice Punch TM on the other side of the room.
>>56962946To be clear, the apple wood's monhouse is 100% intentional there, it ain't the rom fucking up.Hopefully you enjoy a couple of the new TM's, nobody was using trash like Embargo or Return anyways.
>>56962951Alright cool, so that what this anon >>56960852 was on about, and yeah by postgame in my Sky playthrough I was frantically selling duplicates of TMs like those that I kept finding in dungeons to make room in Storage for... anything, really. I'll keep an eye out for new moves.
>>56962963>make room in Storage for... anything, reallyDuring one of my playtest runs i hit the Silver Rank storage cap in the future for the umpteenth time and I got pissed enough to set all rank limits to 1000. Can't go higher than that, because the game will softlock if you try to search for a specific category of item.
>>56962976Noticed that, it's a nice addition. Also, I was wondering something about Sky hacking.I'm the Golett-anon (name I'm going by I guess) that's been writing an intro to an intro for the Clover Guild stuff, and I was wondering if I wanted to put Golett in the game, is the Ghost-type walk-through-obstacles trait hardcoded to the Ghost type, or is it a flag for certain Pokemon? I guess the same question extends to Flying types and for how they can fly over water/lava.I ask cause I imagine a Ghost starter would be kinda broken for that reason, so if its one that isn't physically ghost-like, like Golett, could it be toggled off?
>>56962995>is the Ghost-type walk-through-obstacles trait hardcoded to the Ghost type, or is it a flag for certain Pokemon?Each Pokemon has a specific movement type, like Water for pokemon like Wooper who can enter water fine, Lava for your general firemons, and Phase Through Walls for anywhere. I should stress that you must set this for both male AND female of a species, I've fucked up before with one form of Ribombee being unable to hover over terrain.As far as adding pokemon, it's not THAT rough, but you gotta check out the repository, lucky for you it seems complete. Adding sprites/portraits should be self-explanatory. Just remember that there's a lot of stuff that's gotta be set for both the male and female, like ability and base stats.
>>56963021seems easy enough, I think I'll try that on my own time sometime.>you must set this for both male AND female of a speciesDoes that also go for genderless Pokemon? And how different are base stats in PMD compared to the mainline games? I think I remember hearing that stats cap at 255 and HP caps at 999, but I have no idea how base stats work.
>>56963065>Does that also go for genderless Pokemon?for most pokemon there's Male/Female but for genderless it'll just show Genderless/Invalid.As far as base stats go, they don't really mean anything when compared to mainline. Smoochum has higher stats than Suicune by nearly every metric, for example. Personally I'd recommend copying the stats from a similar ghostmon, and importing the levelup tables from them as well, tweaking a bit here and there if you wanted to give Golett more of a defensive slant.
>>56963074Oh yeah, forgot to mention but when I say "base stats" I mean "the stats the pokemon will have at Level 1." Stat gains on levelup are fixed for each level, and those are changeable.
>>56963074>>56963096I see. Of the ghostmons that are in EoS already, I think the closest in stats to Golett/Golurk is the Banette line, at least in terms of the main series. Just missing a bit of HP, Def, and SpD.Okay, what the fuck, Bidoof has the same HP stat as Golett in the main series, and Shuppet has lower than both, but Shuppet's base HP in Sky is higher than Bidoof's by like 16 points.Sucks that I can't just open Gates or Super and check Golett/Golurk at level 1.
>>56963146if you want a laugh, look at vanilla EoS Rampardos's stats. It has something like 3 attack and 16 special attack, the absolute inverse of what you'd think. Hell, look at picrelated, this is from the vanilla game.
>>56963154What the FUCK do you mean 0 SpDef? Does a Wooper spit on it and it dies? Lmao
You're not getting a new PMDYou're too old to be nostalgic for PMDMove on and let a Pokegirl general replace this one.
>>56963160I remember trying this out, and a Mud Slap on 1F dealt about 16 damage. You don't get instagibbed but you're frail as fuck.>Does a Wooper spit on it and it dies?does he know?
https://rentry.org/GreatBulk15Makuhita finally reveals the truth about himself, and gets into a confrontation with Lombre. One of them has a rough time.
>>56963167>does he know?No I didn't actually, that's funny as hell
>>56963663Sex with Togetic.
>>56963165it depends on which pokegirl it is
So what's the story of every member of the Clover Guild outside of Team Misfits being degenerates and Tropius?
>>56963165Can it coomer.
>>56962463Thanks! Their names are partially inspired by pic so that kinda makes sense lol. Since you posted the old link I'll just plug that I rewrote Prelude pt.1 and Prelude pt.2 into Doldrums, which is linked above. The sequel, Twin Star, is also there, so enjoy :)
>>56964673Gotcha, the link i had in my tabs was the old one, whoops.
>>56955565I've never played these games before, should I play it now?
>>56963663Will Toge's head bump ever heal? Or does he wear the band-aid for identifying purposes at this point?>>56965350I'd say yes, but couldn't tell you which one to play first. Explorers is pretty similar to Rescue Team, just with a fair bit more to do. I found Super really empty and hollow with really dumbed down mechanics, and I expect the newest remake is much the same, which is sad. I've been meaning to figure out how to emulate Gates to Infinity since it's the one I never played.
>>56965449>Or does he wear the band-aid for identifying purposes at this point?It's the only thing keeping his overwhelming power contained.
>>56965449>I expect the newest remake is much the same, which is sad.It's sad that you would make this assumption. Have you tried playing? Because DX challenged me more than RRT and EoS combined.
>>56965350Are you capable of having thoughts that don't involve bragging about how smart you are or how much you want to have sex with animals?If yes: play Blue Rescue Team. If you want more story, play Explorers of Sky, then Gates to Infinity, then Super Mystery Dungeon. If you want more gameplay, play Super Mystery Dungeon, and from there if you want even more gameplay figure out which games you want to play based on your preferences, consider playing the non Pokemon games as well.Otherwise, only play Explorers of Sky and claim it's the best video game of all time. Don't even inform yourself on what other games exist, if the topic ever comes up invent criticism on the fly and if someone points out that you don't know anything about the games just say that it's because of how "forgettable" they are.
>>56966050I hope you're not implying that SMD has the best gameplay.
>>56964487That's a really big question. You should probably just read the fanfics to find out.
>>56966071It's a completely neutral post. I recommended the two PMDs with the most different gameplay, he can form his own opinion.
>call it a rescue team>actually it's a death squad konga line killing millions of nativesI have trouble getting immersed in this
>>56966193It's okay, they're just dungeon constructs, they aren't real.
>>56966193keyed
>>56965449>Toge's head bumpone day, a mecha will come out of it
>>56962542Not wooperdev here. It's possible but it requires a lot of scripting. I looked at video explaining how to do it because I was working in my own hack once (no, you will never play it). It's extremely fuckin' complicated, especially for someone like me who can barely stitch together cutscenes I think this was the video if anyone here was curious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZhJ7idRuHg
>>56964487>What's the story of every memberMaybe you should check them
>>56964487it's mostly just a bunch of losers doing extremely mundane stuff
lil warm up since we're close to the end of 2024 lemme give you the first meme of 2025
>>56958885you could AT THE VERY LEAST add the apron
>>56968083Hell yeah
I need a shonen style fight scene between Chespin and Cider. Massive muscles, explosions, and incredibly gay
>>56960712Can Orion be randomized?
>>56968451I wouldn't know, I've never tried it.
>>56968456I'll go for it then, why not? Since there's no test I'll go with the 1st and 2nd choice for myself and the partner.
Okay am I stupid or is the Orion link broken?
>>56968523There's been several in this thread alone, so which one?
>New Orion update drops>People actually start talking about the game again
>>56968534The most recent one, >>56960712. Though >>56956314 is also broken.
>>56968567There's a slightly more recent version at >>56962351. That might've been the issue.
>>56968576Ah, missed that one. Problem solved, thanks!
>Select male option.>First option Jynx.Guess I'm trans now.
>>56960712Okay so I've got a bug that's still in the newest version related to Gligar animations. Currently it's using the animation "Laying" for (I assume, since I'm past it) the beach scene and also all the guild sleeping animations, except during cutscenes like >>56960292 where after everyone's done talking, your character is normally supposed to fall asleep into a breathing animation, which on the repository is "EventSleep". Currently during those cutscenes, it switches to "Special0" making it look like Gligar is tweaking out in a fit of rage at Sneasel. Unfortunately I didn't get a recording of the bug, and I'm about to start the Expedition chapter, so I won't be able to get one for a bit. Hope I described the issue well enough for you.https://sprites.pmdcollab.org/#/0207?form=0
>>56968707Alright, this shit is probably because Gligar's a storymon and the game is trying to call that. I'm pretty sure it likely worked properly in an older version.There are two gligar entries in the lineup, solely because i was worried about something like this happening. I'll look into it.
>>56968750Looks like EventSleep's index number is 13, and Special0's is 13 as well. Gligar's EventSleep was set to 35. Deleted Special0 for the protag Gligar's entry, and moved EventSleep. Have to run through the intro again to test it, so bear with me.
>>56968750>>56968758No worries, take your time. It's not exactly game-breaking lol. On the other hand I am noticing something about the logistics of playing a Flying-type leader that I wasn't aware of before. I don't know if this is even possible to change/fix, it doesn't sound like it would be, and there's an easy solution to it anyways, but in dungeons with partial water like Waterfall Cave and Craggy Coast, running down hallways stops you at every corner of walkable terrain, which for Flying-types is anything that isn't a wall.The easy solution is to just not run through hallways, and rewire my muscle memory.
>>56968772Alright, played up until the team goes to bed in the guild, and it looked like it was working for me, try this out. I pray this is the last time I have to post an Orion update in this thread. https://mega.nz/file/AQ9hFJ4K#tqwRB4ZNIKZcqZuNPmNTif248YHpomKsC4WgtL9QqDU>in dungeons with partial water like Waterfall Cave and Craggy Coast, running down hallways stops you at every corner of walkable terrain, which for Flying-types is anything that isn't a wallThat's a problem with taking certain starters in general. I'll ask around but I don't know if there's any kind of fix for it.
>>56968779>Would be ASM. And probably not the easy kind… also, are you sure you even want this? Chunsoft did that for a reason, you know…This stupid fucking faggot in the skytemple server i swear to god
>>56968779why does firewall think that this is a trojan
>>56968814we here at /pmdg/ install trackers and keyloggers into our software to gather data from users that we use as inspiration for our fanfictions
>>56968814Fuck if I know, you aren't the first person to have that issue. I forget if the last guy was using Avast or whatever. Either way, it ain't a virus. Rich coming from the guy uploading it, but still.truth be told i dont even know if you CAN make a ds rom a virus of any sort. Shit sounds like something nintendo would say to fearmonger
>>56968827they're in this general trying to get us to stop discussing pmd so they don't have to get chunsoft to make games anymore
>>56968827Malwarebytes said it was fine, so I guess Defender had an aneurysm. Really odd as it didn't proc a virus threat alert on any of the other Orion updates ITT.
>>56968845yeah, that's pretty odd, especially since the .7z file has the same exact filename and the rom itself is nearly identical, save for a few lines of Gligar's AnimData file being changed.
>>56968083kek it’s no coincidence that the haychad has supereffective stab against the cotton mons
>>56968856Maybe there's a specific string of characters in the code that Defender didn't like.

Why did he do it?
>>56971143how does this affect you personally?
i can finally stop lazy-ing around
>>56971326What if it was the only Trawl Orb in the whole dungeon?You'd be mad too.
>>56971326
>>56971422Beau travail Jung! Et pour (Vous) utilisant la traduction, dites quelque chose de gentil à Jung ou votre mère mourra dans son sommeil
>>56971769nani?
>>56971769I really like the way he drew Gaston in his introduction, with the white outline against the black background
>>56972029it was a spur of the moment choice to tell something just through visual, i try not to monologue or do too much exposition cause i know it makes me crine and i prefer character based dialohue then writing the overall meta narative in it's entire scope
After the articuno fight I will never be the same.
>>56972318The runaway section was the best part of Rescue Team. I just wish it lasted a little longer, and Absol wasn't just a useless body outside of gameplay.
>>56972318Jesus Christ, please press select
>>56972306This nigga looks so fucking evil with the white lines
>>56964487Now, this is a story all about howMy life got flipped-turned upside downAnd I'd like to take a minute to just sit right thereI'll tell you how I became a Pokemon in the guild called CloverIn another reality I was born and raisedShitposting on 4chan was where I spent most of my daysRaging' out, trollin', fappin', all coolLivin' in the basement, after droppin' of the schoolWhen a couple of Legendaries and Mythicals who were up to no goodStarted making trouble in my cosmic neighborhoodI got in one little accident and my life ended with little fanfareBut mysterious spirits said, "You're getting isekai'd as a furry, so there!"I woke up in a forest and a little guy came nearWas wearing just a scarf and was grinnin' from ear to earIf anything I thought that this guy was a clownBut I thought 'Nah, forget it' - 'Yo, bro! Take me to town!'We ventured up to Capim in the evenin' and it was quite lateAnd I yelled to the critter 'Yo, bro! Be my teammate!'I looked at the guildhall and I was finally thereTo be a Pokemon in the guild called Clover
>>56973364
>>56973364Kek, we need stories of potential recruits having a look at the guild and going "nope".Clover sitcom when?
>>56970612When was this posted?
>>56973625A long time ago
>>56973514it already is a sitcom, most scenes inside the guild look something like this >catchy tune>camera slowly panning into the guild's building>the door to team misfits' room swings open>phanpy is on the other side>hey honey...>quiet and expecting laughing track>I came back!>loud laughing track>torchic appears>...>this early? >even louder laughing track with whistles>yup>clap clap clap>cyndaquil suddenly steps into the scene >did anyone say... come!?>booing track>phanpy sighs>cyndaquil...>totodile appears>hey guys, don't fight... lets go get some drinks!>the group walks out the door>applause track>funky tune while credits roll
>>56968779About to do Amp Plains and just noticed the warp between Xatu's shop and the Sentry hole in the guild. Wasn't expecting that, but thanks.
>>56974165It's a little fucky since I couldn't find any way to block it during parts of the game where cutscenes activate via entering west Treasure Town from the east, but it is what it is. Nice to have, especially once you start living at the bluff.I tried for 2 hours to make it LOOK like a hole but the closest I got would have disabled all map animations.
>>56974018I gotta say, the potential for comedy with Team Misfits is untapped because of Cyndaquil's potential alone
https://pmd-explorersofspace.tumblr.com/
>>56974470Untapped? Cyndaquil being a pervert is probably the most common joke in the guild, next to Chespin's obsessive hate of Ice-types and hay.
>>56974558I don't think you understood the point. Team Misfits as a whole gets overshadowed by Cyndaquil
