>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.

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.

No secret the series is dead at this point. Thread is purely kept alive by Clover Guild. If they ever leave the site this thread will go with them

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Honestly it's because of the Chunsoft merge with spike in 2012. You can tell that's when the major changes to mystery dungeon occur. DX did well but it seems like spike thought it wasn't enough so they shut down any chance of a new mystery dungeon game dropping so we only have fan games to by from now on.

>>58243397
And is cheapest to produce

>>58243500
>DX did well but it seems like spike thought it wasn't enough so they shut down any chance of a new mystery dungeon game dropping
PMD games always mogged the original Shiren MD games in sales yet they dropped one last year. Spike just needs the green light from TPC/Nintendo to make more PMD games.

That's another good one. It feels like they tend towards more humanoid designs or pet-like animals, so something like Fidough or one of the regional Meowths seem likely, though I wouldn't care for them personally.

so why don't we see other humans in the PMD series? and not humans-turned-pokemon, but other humans, period? it can't be that they're only from the future, the partner seemingly knows about humans, and after all pmd's protagonist was a human working alongside grovyle at some point, so clearly they coexist in the universe. are humans and pokemon able to understand eachother in pmd 'verse though?

Don't know where you got that exact figure, but yeah humans existed at some point in PMD's history. Super makes the timeline really fucking weird, but this can make sense.

Ninetales legend is just an ancient story from when humans still existed
A human was brought into the dark future because of weird time travel bullshit (there are worse explanations)
Gates just opens up with the partner saying humans are like myths and legends (and the player character is from our world, not the pmd world)

I'm not sure what Pokemon are considered the strongest or weakest, so I dunno what would be the worst way to build a team. I've heard that Eevee and Phanpy are weak picks for starters, though.
>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?
I always bring a set of items, usually including Reviver Seeds, Oran Berries, Pecha Berry/Heal Seeds, Escape Orb, a paralyzing/sleeping orb for Monster Houses, and apples. I leave plenty of room for gathering items, though.

Spirit came off less as edgy and more "what the player actually wanted to do in this situation instead of what the characters actually did" without going overboard (as in, it still felt like something you could see in a PMD game). Shame the hack takes a quality nosedive after meeting Shaymin but we can't all be winners.
People are quick to blame this hack for being a trendsetter when it's more the fault of the lazy, uninspired copycats.

I like how Rescue Team handled it the most. There's no major villain, it's just a matter of convincing Rayquaza to get off his lazy ass and stop a giant meteor. A force of nature that isn't a Pokemon, but at the same time is a logical experience as opposed to Bittercold and Dark Matter which are just forces of evil that do bad shit because plot.

>>58251429
Eehhhh they've been doing bait and switch antagonists since Explorers. I honestly would like something a bit more straightforward, personally.

>>58238272
Dunno, I think that was a neat idea that maybe wasn't executed so well. GtI and PSMD plots should have been switched around one way or another; it made sense for Dark Matter to be the embodiment of negativity, but the Bittercold (which ironically came first) is the same thing and also an eldritch ice entity at the same time...? Why? They should either have kept the whole "negativity is growing in the Pokémon world" plot point in GtI but made Dark Matter the antagonist, or removed that plot point and simply made GtI all about how an eldritch ice entity is out for the Pokémon world.

What circlejerking? This thread is surprisingly low on it (which is very welcome) and after the drawing was posted there were only two posts related to clover with the rest being mostly hack discussion.

An outlaw story like this needs to be balanced. You're obviously playing as villains, but you don't have to monsters. Personally I'd prefer a more campy story involving a PMD gang. Rob kecleons, steal treasures from a guild, get into random fights with strangers. It could be fun as long as the characters didn't take themselves too seriously

>>58252802

>Robin Hood-type
I was thinking more of a team doing crimes for their own enjoyment and the thrill of it, without trying to come up with moral justification for themselves. But also without causing deaths or serious injuries unless necessary.

>>58253573
That's viable, but if we're talking about a kid-friendly game like the other guy mentioned, I feel like they'd have to make the bandits be the good guys somehow

>>58253211
And that's probably what would happen if this idea was put into an official game. "Le evil greedy pokemon" villain archetype.

I wanna play a villain. Not one that takes himself too seriously. Not one who's extremely evil. Just a legit outlaw who does crime and shit.

>>58253211
>>58253573
Robin Hood PMD sounds so fucking based. Sort of like the fugitive arc, but a whole game

>>58254529
The way you pitch that actually sounds horrible. Don't get me wrong, I like the fugitive arc. I would not want an entire game built around it.

>No town square
>No team base
>Few NPC interactions
>Majority of NPCs will not be seen again

And really, what made the fugitive arc so good was the context around it. That you were innocent, and forced to ignore your job as a rescue team for your own survival. You lost all your friends in Pokemon Square (Assuming you cared about them of course. I kept up with their interactions, so I was a little fond of them.)

Even when you're welcomed back, there's just something different about your presence. The town knows what you are, and you know that the people would be willing to kill you if it meant saving themselves.

tl;dr You would need to completely restructure this until it doesn't resemble the fugitive arc at all

Too bad it is also one of the worst hacks in the jam.

started playing it because you brought it up and it seems fun so far
chose a ditto as my character and an eevee as my partner, since playing as ditto sounded really fun. unfortunately, ditto transforms into a random pokemon in the floor EXCEPT when its a boss, so you have to fight the boss with a ditto that only knows the move pound
there have been a lot of small changes but nothing that seemed too bad (but apparently neither me or my partner could use reviver seeds because we lacked the IQ for it, so that sucked), but you really should read the list of changes since theres stuff like removed and reworked abilities, and some pokemon got their typing changed (this can be disabled)
ditto hits like a wet noodle, but eevee hit like a truck with flail and anticipation (it boosts move power when attacking a pokemon who has super effective moves), so if youre planning to play with your favorite mons then maybe dont choose the highest difficulty

tl;dr: its fun and has minimal tweaks, but read the changelog before playing

I finally, FINALLY beat Destiny Tower. God, I feel mentally, emotionally and physically drained.
It was THE God Run, even better than the one I fumbled at floor 98, barely any monster houses, a good supply of elixirs and apples, 5 joy seeds, a good set of spheres, barely any problematic pokemon, no politoeds and no kanghaskans and no monster house steal at floor 99.
Shof-ucking-outs to my boy, my man, Pass Scarf, that thing, right there, is the reason this run was possible, I had plenty of good runs die randomly because of random bullshit, but Pass Scarf made sure that didnt happen, if no one got my back, I know Pass Scarf does, the true MVP of this miserable experience, Smoochum wasnt a free win at all, I dont know who the hell said that here, she just makes the things actually DOABLE and BARELY tolerable, Jesus Christ man.
After this shitshow I spit of ZiS, I dont know what the hell will happen to me in that dungeon, but after this? I hold neither fear or respect for it, Im sure it will be far less awful than Destiny Tower, and after thats done too, I will use the Space Globe to curbstomp everything into submission and get every legendary, and after that I will make Darkrai my bitch and finish this damn game. And I will never touch it ever again.
I will now proceed to touch myself to some Lana smut and go cry until I sleep. Fuck Destiny Tower.

Happy 10th anniversary, Super. It was my first PMD game, so I've got a soft spot for it. I played it about 9 years ago, and I've been a fan of the series ever since.
On account of the anniversary, I decided to start replaying Super today. The quiz gave me Turtwig as the hero and Squirtle as the partner. Although having two turtles on the team would've been pretty funny, I already had Squirtle as my partner in RTDX, so I considered other options and eventually decided to choose Froakie instead. She bounces whenever she moves, which is kind of annoying, but very appropriate for the partner's hyper personality.
I'm excited to revisit this game after a decade, and I'll be posting updates here and there.

>>58267237
Smoochum ain't even the best pick. It's a very good one, probably top 5, but Drifblim is the best in the game. It's better at dodgetanking overall. Smoochum can get a 60% dodge chance between Forewarn and the Detect Band giving 30% evade each, but 10 Minimizes gets Drifblim to over 90% evade.
Regardless, a successful DT run is definitely an accomplishment. Good on you for pulling it off.

>>58265979
Serene village is one of the nicest locations in PMD. So cozy. Wish the whole game was just being a little hometown hero instead of getting crammed into the expedition society halfway through

>>58267576
Eh, if they did that it would probably be my least favourite game in the series for sure. I hated that you got treated as a tiny child for the entirety of Serene Village, at least the Expedition Society actually gave you some respect.

>>58267750
>actually gave you some respect.
After having the partner cry and baw and whine about everything until they reluctantly accept you.
I think the story and its characters would have significantly improved if they stood by their initial rejection and you decide to make your own society back home with the rest of the kids. That way you actually EARN your respect as an explorer rather than just be handed the title because the Expedition Society's leader felt sorry for you. Not to mention the first third of the game feels like a complete waste of time because basically nobody from Serene Village (aside from Espurr) are ever relevant again. All replaced by what? A bunch of nobodies that somehow, miraculously, have less personality than Wigglytuff's guild.
Super's plot is so empty and mishandled I honestly find it baffling that anyone can consider it their favorite. Even Gates had more respect for its own setting.

>>58267816
>After having the partner cry and baw and whine about everything until they reluctantly accept you.
What do you have to gain by overly exaggerating things like this? You meet Ampharos at Serene Village, who pretty much recruits you on the spot after you bring back his orb and recognizes the partner's dreams and determination (under the guise of only making you "junior members"), you reach the Expedition Society later, then the members tell you they unfortunately can't accept kids, your partner insists (3 or 4 lines of dialogue consisting of "please, we'll work hard!" is crying and bawing and whining, apparently), Ampharos arrives, the members learn about how he recruited you without consulting them, scold him for a second and then just happily accept you as new members.

We know PSMD already has its problems, you don't need to make shit up on top of that because you didn't like the game.

PSMD just ruins the fantasy honestly. Guilds should be completely fine with taking on preteens, they don’t exactly have many options.

I think the expedition society in general just annoys me. All felt like an attempt at recreating wigglytuff guild, but without the understanding of what made it good.

Their leaders are a shining example of this issue of oversimplification. Wigglytuff became a fan favorite because his childlike nature and secret awareness of the world around him made him a pretty interesting and mysterious character at times. There was a sense that there was always something more to him, and it often got me wondering how he found himself as a guild master

On the other hand, Ampharos is flat as cardboard. What you see is what you get. He's a bumbling idiot who doesn't even know where he's walking most of the time. He tries to act mysterious at times, but it really just makes him more confusing than anything. Like when the partner asks if he's a member of the expedition society, he says no. Why? Because the game wanted the twist of you getting there and finding out that he's their leader.

Really just shows the core issue of writing in Super. Tried too hard to recreate Explorers. They had something with Serene Village and they should've stuck with it

There's a reason people don't talk about Adventure Squad. Just wait until you see how cumbersome it is to switch teams between the three games

I'm genuinely surprised that furries haven't funded an actually good PMD porn game. Like CoC or something. I know nothing about game development, but couldn't you just dumb down the combat system from any of the PMD games, and then commission a bunch of art and writing for different win/loss "scenes"? How hard can it be?

>>58269420
There are a good few dozen artists that got hit with C&D's from pokemon/nintendo, no one is going to try and make a large scale game for free just to get it nuked.

>>58269420
While it would be easy if the game was entirely text based, nobody can afford to pay an artist to draw a bunch of the same sex scenes over and over again but with different MC and Partner Pokemon, not to mention all of the wild Pokemon that are going to fuck/be fucked by the MC. Even suspiciously wealthy furries would have their wallets hurt by this.

>>58269457
If I had a quarter for every furry artist that was doing Pokemon Porn comics/media that had to change their art to OCs/fakemon because of Nintendo being litigious as hell, I'd have several dollars. It's not a good forecast for Pokemon fanart/fangames in general, thoughbeit.

Well the furries desecrated me when a classmate (he was a furry) showed me Pokemon smut when I was 10, and I didn't stand a chance. Later that year, Explorers of Sky released and accelerated me down the rabbit hole he was trying to take me down. Fast forward 15 years, that "desecration" you speak of has completely warped my view of the franchise.

>>58267238
Super had some rough edges. I really wish the school characters would have been the main cast throughout the game instead of switching to the Amphiros crew about midway through. Though likable, they were still a lot less likable than the initial cast. Also, if you are coming off the classics and think you can take the game at your own pace Super punished you extra hard and railroads you right to the end, so if you're underdeveled and underprepared for the final boss you can very realistically find yourself in a no win scenario forcing a restart of the entire game which is an odd issue to have for a game in 2015. There also weren't any oddball choices for your main Pokémon which was disappointing.

The gameplay was great though, better than it has ever been, but man do I wish more people warned me about the railroading. I legit almost lost my save and it came down to my last revive seed and attack after several restarts and unskippable cutscenes.

>>58272751
>if you're underdeveled and underprepared for the final boss you can very realistically find yourself in a no win scenario forcing a restart of the entire game
No, you can go to Pelipper Island whenever and grind to your heart's content. It's really not explained to you at all, though, I completely missed it until after I beat the game, so I'm not surprised people don't know about it.

>>58272761
.... you're absolutely kidding me. I thought that mechanic was only for saving other people via wifi... the way the game forced me through it had me disliking it so much that it became my worst in the series, but in reality there was a hidden mechanic that would have given me that downtime to do quests that I was missing... I may start a new playthrough. Story still isn't my favorite, but I want to experience the game not feeling horribly underleveled the entire time

either make it less unforgiving by them getting defeated/knocked out and having to go to a place to heal them (they are rare and/or can only heal a single party member) or have them be crippled in some way so they cant fight (not dead but gives a reason why they cant go back to the dungeon)

If you're gonna keep the basic gameplay of DD while tamping down on the horror and despair, I'd suggest each explorer having their own story you can discover over time, with less shitty versions of both the Shieldbreaker mechanic and DD2's Shrines of Reflection mechanic. Maybe sprinkle a bit of Mass Effect character interaction in there too.

Three-stage evolutionary lines are easy to map to the existing apprentice, veteran, and champion difficulty levels present in DD1, and I do like the idea of mapping Pokemon capabilities into the Darkest Dungeon battle style - could make moves and thus Pokemon battles much more diverse and interesting - but what would you do about one and two-stage lines in that case?

It is like calling your best friend a faggot, anon

>New drawboard is black
I pissed myself in fear

>>58281786
It's mean, even if it's true

>>58281451
unironically make more stuff about your OCs and post them and I will draw them.
If you can't get excited about your own work, why would you expect anyone else to?

Brother, it is bait. Don't feed it just to keep the thread alive

Y... you guys lied to me :c

About my only gripe is that the main hook for the story isn't the best.

I'm still upset that Umbreon and Espeon were teased to have some big moment in an official trailer, only for you to find them "playing" together, getting embarrassed, and that was that. I honestly preferred Gates Story to Super... course, nothing comes close to Sky's story and characters.

We never told you that, anon. We just said we prefer to play as cartoon animals. That didn't mean the game was bad

>>58283373
What trailer was that?
I don’t remember them being teased to have a big moment in the game

>>58283376
it's mostly a joke. Had two anons say it was a bad series and not good at all compared to PMD, one anon loved the games though. Just hadn't gotten around to playing them till now and am very pleasantly surprised.

I know it's asinine to say it, but something about Shiren really reminds me of the first time I played Dark Souls and its oddly immersive and engaging.

It was just two pokemon questioning them about the status of their relationship in which they get super bashful and Umbreon yells something like "i-IF YOU WANT THE ANSWERS YOU'LL HAVE TO PLAY SMD!!".

The trailers for SMD were soulful.

me and the copper wire thieves

They, they were so full of shit. Had the worst promotional material out of the series. Rescue Team and Explorers had whole anime specials, and Gates had some animated trailers. In-engine cutscenes with the game's mediocre cast of characters do not compare
