Recap of the previous thread:
>Petal-Purr released another chapter of their ongoing story (https://rentry.org/PetalpurrGuild3). P-anon published character blurbs for their team (https://rentry.org/punipawa-cg), and Sceptile-anon dropped another comic page (https://rentry.co/EmeraldSpark_01)
>Story reviews and related discussion

>Various pieces of art posted

I’m sorry, I saw the thread on 10 and thought “nah someone always bumps it with art”
>>
>What's your favorite moment in any PMD game?

When i can make my weakmons start wiping entire rooms.

>What's the least functional team you could use in one of the games?
From the starters I do not think there really is a wrong choice. Everyone keeps saying Phanpy is a bad choice but despite that I did great with it.

>How many items do you take on a mission? Do you go in fully prepared or just wing it and use what you find on the way?

Last playthrough I learned you can actually come back from Temporal Tower so I was able to get items and prepare accordingly, I was there without items and thought I was softlocked for a couple years.

probably someone hacked being honest

i fully prep but most of the time i'm scrounging around for the few things that'll fit

Which Pokémon has the best pussy?
>>
Mostly just venting, but hey maybe you can give me some insight:
> Le me
> Story sperg because mainline games always had the potential to be amazing stories but shat the bed every time.
> Always re-imagined the stories into one massive narrative with the only additions being 2 main characters, a rival, and a "smoking man"-esque "villain" to tie the narrative, even though he rarely shows up.
> Along comes Mystery Dungeon
> Wow! This shit is actually decent!!
> Still inject my characters because it's so easy to. Little tweaks here n' there, and slap-yer-ass, it's a mystery dungeon character!!
> Play through the games like this. Played through Sky as my sister's character; yes Sky has to come first to make the story work. Yes, I know that's incredibly stupid.
> Play through Blu Rescue as my character.
> Infinity is up next.
> Already did the twins' characters. I guess I do rival Callub now.
> Third one in the series. I'm sure I'll have plenty to pick from. This'll be easy.
> Unovaslop and pikafart. ZERO choice otherwise.
Closest I could narrow down to this character were oshawott, tepig, and Axew. WHY DID MY SELECTION JUMP FROM 20 UNIQUE POKEMON TO 4 UGLY STARTERS AND AN AXEW?!??
I know for a fact that the partner choice will be much easier, but this is bullshit. I paid $0 for this game and STILL feel cheated out of my money. AND THE GAME HASN'T EVEN STARTED YET. I KNOW IF I JUST HAD A GOOD CHARACTER CHOICE, I'D ENJOY THIS GAME. BUT CALLUB IS THE MOST EMOTIONALLY COMPLEX CHARACTER I'VE EVER WRITTEN, AND YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT IN GENERATION FIVE, WHEN THEY HAD LIKE 630 OR SO POKEMON TO CHOOSE FROM, I ONLY GET FIVE "POKEMON" TO CHOOSE FROM?? IS THIS SOME SICK JOKE?? IS THIS SOME SORT OF GAMEFREAK SABOTAGE AGAINST CHUNSOFT?? WHY NOT HAVE A PARTNER FOR EVERY TYPE? WHY IS THE GENERATION THAT INTRODUCED THE MOST POKEMON IN SERIES HISTORY THE SAME GENERATION THAT LETS ME PICK FROM A BIG BAG OF FUCKING NOTHING?? STOP GIVING ME REASONS TO NOT PLAY YOUR GAME.

Gates development was so fucked from start to finish. Personally hoping some autist puts together some modding tools to add other pokemon in the game. At least to expand the starter selection

Pikachu and Oshawott are the canon protagonists by the way

What are anons thoughts on the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon - Explorers of Alpha romhack? I have aways wanted a tougher and more stratigic PMD more in line with traditional rougelikes. The changelog seems mostly sensible to me and I like that it does not include too many new Pokémon as I am kind of a gen oner (well 1-4 actually). I just hope there are no secret changes. I have encountered way too many mods and rom hacks where the creator secretly slips in something stupid like their OC donutsteel without announcing it. Apparently they did slip in some anticheat code features which is dumb but mostly does not affect me.

>>58234845
I'm ready for a new game to be announced in one week when Super turns 10.

This time for sure!
>>
>>58234864
Holy shit, I wish I didn't read this

I want to make a ninja team with Froakie and Bulbasaur but then I remember Super's recruitment and fatigue system pissing me off making me not want to replay it.
>>
>>58235341
Might be better to see if someone's gotten the Froakie line in eos. I don't know if anyone would've scripted water shuriken, but it'd be cool if they did
>>
>>58235356
I'm not sure how hard adding custom moves into Sky is, but i'm willing to bet Froakie's line has sprites.
From there all you'd have to do is copy a vanilla water starters levelup gains and add in the learnable moves, making concessions where you have to for gen 5+ moves that aren't really worth adding in in the first place. Nobody's going to be missing Round.

I love clover guild and you will never get rid of me. There is nothing quite like the freedom of an imageboard for posting art and writing.

Also for important discussions like

>covering the bulb
Bulbasaur attacks with that, and likely takes in energy from the sun that way, too.
>>
>>58232501
The entire PMD fandom is carried by nostalgic creatives. If you don't fall in love with the fiction the gameplay isn't good enough to raise this much obsession.
>>
>>58231491
Now I want to see what a PMD directed by Nomura would look like

Why is gates so dogshit? I'm about to just move on to super and hope it isn't as bad.
>>
>>58237885
Gameplay is ass. Story is okay. Highly overrated. Worst one in the series

Gates is alright though
>>
>>58238208
The story is actually also ass
>>
>>58238212
No, the story is fine because it's literally just ripped off from Gates
>>
>>58229211
Phanpy is honestly pretty good.
>>
I didn't like how GTI and Super had final bosses that weren't Pokémon. Kyurem and Yveltal were right there
>>
>>58230909
>>58230909
It's not complicated, dude. GTI, gen 5 game that was probably put into development before the great backpedal that is was, was just following the same marching orders as Black and White 1 - i.e. "this is a soft reboot, so downplay the old Pokemon in favour of the new ones". This is easy to see in the game - your character choices aside from the obligatory franchise mascot are gen 5, two out of your three initial party members (and both of the ones that don't suck ass) you get are gen 5, most of the shopkeepers and townsfolk are gen 5. Like I said - same philosophy as black and white 1. It really is that simple.

As for why they didn't include more gen 5 options, why bother when most people are going to pick a starter anyway? Sure including a few more options (Sandile and Lillipup, maybe?) would be nice, but I'm sure the logic was that each new choice would probably impact less than 1% of the playerbase so there was no point.
>>
Turning people to stone is also something yveltal does. Somehow he is just dark matter's bitch though
>>
>>58238311
Not gonna turn this into a genwar, I swear. I just hate that this was unironically the agenda at the time. A general trend in late 2000s and early 2010s. To reinvent your series for modern times. I am glad that we've grown out of it, but remake culture is also cancer
>>
>>58238311
The funny thing is even with this mentality, at least a third of the roster isn't from Unova nor does the game even contain the entire Unovadex (missing many of them, actually, like Sawk and Throh, Reuniclus line, Vanilluxe line, Sawsbuck line, Eelektross line, Beheeyem line, Stunfisk, Heatmor, Durant, to name a few.
But I'm sure fucking glad we got all the eeveelutions, two of them even being prominent characters in the town. They sure got their priorities right.

Hey, at l-least in the new game you get to play as a Pokémon, talk to other Pokémon, and build a society with them.
That's kinda like PMD r-right?
>>
>>58240023
They made a "DQ Builders but Pokemon" spin-off. They're looking for every possible excuse to not do anything PMD-related
>>
>>58240111
We wanted that base building in Gates to be expanded on?

We got it

>No story with real characters to follow
>No actual gameplay

Should we be disappointed, though? The "best" thing that can happen to this series nowadays is an Explorers (Or Gates but way less likely) remake; otherwise, you just know that if they made a completely new PMD game, it would be mobile gachaslop.
>>
>>58240346
If they made a new PMD, it'd be MYSTERY DUNGEON. I don't think Chunsoft's interested in dirtying their series with the mobile market. Hence why we'll never get another game in this series
>>
>>58240119
warping reality so it fits your narrative is delusional schizo behavior
>>
>>58240491
There are a few Shiren games on mobile. They're ports of console games, but they did make a bunch of mobile exclusive games in the feature phone era too.
>>
>>58240123
Unironically the base building is the best part of that game. I started playing GTI recently and after constructing a cool creekside and a fertile forest on the same day, I actually find myself reluctant to dive into a dungeon again. Only being able to do one mission at a time is one of the most blatantly retarded decisions anybody ever took. It just makes the main gameplay feel tedious and could've been so easily fixed by having each job only drop one building material instead of three. Thank God SMD fixed this shit.
