Reposting because this was posted not long before the last thread died.PMD Sky: Postgame QoL Edition 1.1 has been released! This update adds 2 brand new optional dungeons, Strange Swamp, and Wither Woods. An explorer in Spinda's Cafe has information about them.Also, Tatsugiri, Phantump, and Trevenant have been added to the game! They can be found in the new dungeons added this update, and will surely be useful additions to your team. They also have their own exclusive items, the Sushi Scale, and the Stump Hat. (Ditto and Unown have had their exclusive items removed because of this... In the future I would like to add them back in though.)Lastly, many miscellaneous changes, fixes, and improvements have been made. Check changelog 1.1.txt for a full list of additions.Download link here: https://mega.nz/folder/ARs2TDaC#ybnFi5D88ZQ6QeEKZNgjQAThe xdelta patch is to be applied to a clean US rom of Explorers of Sky, NOT the Xenophobia rom. The correct rom should be called Pokemon Mystery Dungeon - Explorers of Sky (USA).Enjoy the hack, and again, feel free to provide feedback in the thread.
>>58354694I like to consider Kyurem as the final boss. Bittercold's fight is essentially a forced win, I'm genuinely curious if you can even lose it.
>>58354694>>When playing PMD games do you use the same starters/partners for each game (except GTI) or do you mix it up? Also, what are your picks?i'm not telling you my picks because it's an autistic ass listbut i do mix it up yes>>What stories are you sick of seeing in PMD hacks and why?retellings of the game only slightly tweaked>>What's the most scary group of enemies you've encountered when spawning into a floor?anything with earth power tends to scare the fuck out of me so if it's a dungeon with multiple... i'm panickingcan't really answer the last one as there aren't really any standout moments
>>58355452>retellings of the game only slightly tweakedWish that wasn't common in comics too.
>>58355921For some reason it just became the norm in the PMD community. No fucking clue why. I'm not any other fan communities, but I don't imagine this is something that really happens elsewhere
I ate the food. Please laugh.
>>58356285I laughed
>>58356285
>>58354851Nice, might check it out.
>>58356247I think it's because the PMD games have a big focus on self inserting already. Everyone takes the quiz, gets their pokemon, their partner, etc., and their playthrough will feel somewhat personal. So, trying to recreate that personal feel in a comic or story seems natural. Also, it's not super common but not unheard of in other fandoms too. I've seen some FF7 comics doing something similar, and animations or comics for Pokemon playthroughs/nuzlockes too.
>>58356851For pokemon playthroughs, I mean mainline pokemon barely has a story. Basing your own story off the game isn't that bizarre. PMD has characters and a plot though. Like, unique things happen in it. If you try to use those as the baseline for your story, it's just gonna come off as a cheap knockoff.Also FF7? Really? Of all games?
you may not know this, but Clover Guild was actually built on top of an ancient riolu burial ground
>>58354694I did not care for gates to infinitySuper is great thl
It's a shame that the artist nuked half of their gallery and bitches about reposts so now some of their stuff is hard to find or just lost.Also tumblr's design is fucking horrible.
Speaking of humans, since last thread's interviews confirmed that at least in Explorers era they are still around in the PMD world I wonder what the relations between them and the Pokemon are like.Do they live together in peace? Or are the humans fighting to survive without pokeballs in a world with magical animals who shoot lazer beams?If the guild managed to locate a human settlement, would they want to try having a peek/visit?
>>58357991I still subscribe to>MANKIND IS DEAD>BLOOD IS FUEL>DUNGEON IS FULLBut supposing they did exist, I imagine it would be a small remote settlement, and possibly magically protected a la Hidden Land, with a legendary/mythical watching over it. No pokemon, just humans living a pastoral life.>If the guild managed to locate a human settlement, would they want to try having a peek/visit?This is exactly why it should be inaccessible.
>>58357991There are no human settlements, they live in the wilderness like Bigfoot.Every now and then you hear rumours of a "true human" sighting going around.
>>58357991The humans live underground, obviously. Who do you think restocks all those dungeons?
>>58357991>confirmedIf it’s confined to an interview and never mentioned in the games, then it’s just a concept and not officially canon.Besides, I prefer the PMD world being exclusively inhabited by Pokemon with zero humans at all.>>58358034That’s the only way I can see it happening. Very remote and secretive, potentially with extra barriers to remain hidden. I mean, they’re a complete myth in the PMD world. No Pokemon claim to have interacted with humans or even seen them before. So even if they did exist, they must be extremely hard to find.
>>58357991Capim town IS a human settlement

>>58358683Insane dedication
>>58358683I-IS THAT A TENTACRUEL?SAVE ME MEOWTH MAN! Is good. Is that Lovecraft in the corner, lmao.
>>58321595Something ULTRAKILL-themed. Y'know, like >>58358034
The Clover Guild's Linoone and Ikarus form a delivery team as they adventure to a frigid, faraway island where they learn what it means to be a badgermon. I hope you enjoy the short story: Badgering Around!>https://rentry.org/CG-Badgering
>>58354694What would it feel like to turn into a Pokémon
>>58358138>If it’s confined to an interview and never mentioned in the games, then it’s just a concept and not officially canon.But it is canon in Explorers and Rescue Team that the humans came from those worlds
>>58358683Maybe the three strangers are actual serial killers
