>>58897231
>If you became a Pokemon, would you do poses and call out your attack names like an anime hero?
Absolutely wouldn't. It'd give away the move I'm about to use, and would probably feel really stupid to experience on the flesh.

>How would you feel if your destined partner was your least favorite Pokemon species?
>X Menu
>Team
>"Partner"
>Tactics
>You go the other way
>Back
>IQ skills
>Item-Master off

>Are legendaries worshiped like gods?
Maybe from small comunities near where a legendarie pokemon rests, but by now means is it wide spread. Legendary/Mythical pokemon more integrated into society (Like Virizion or Meloetta) wouldn't get this treatment.

>Do you savescum when playing PMD?
Savescumming feels, well, scummy. I preffer to take the loss. While I dislike the scenario of diying with something rare in my bag, that scenario isn't really likely, since by that point of the game, you'd provably have ten or so reviver seeds up your ass at any given point + an escape orb.

>>58897390
Use a USB Killer lol.

>>58896487
Why does that need to be fixed? The important part of the story is not the showdown with god persee, but how such a task affects the events before (PSMD partner needing to keep strong at the sight of no one being arround in Serene Vilage after returning from the voidlands) or after (Rescue Team hero needing to leave that world after the job's done). It's why mainline pokemon falls flat. Yes, you fight Giratina in Paltinum, but all that happens before it is that Team Galaxy is up to no good and you have to stop them, and that they oppen a portal to the navigational puzzle dimension, then literaly nothing aboutyour battle chaanges the remaining part of the story.

>>58897390
Don't know what your characters are, but I'd suggest sheer willpower and refusal to stop fighting even when there's no reasonable way for them to survive an attack from it, that also creates an opening for them to counterattack. It's a very shonen but very kino when done right

>>58897390
The power of friendship. They ARE friends, right?

>>58897390
I feel like the gap between Pokemon is just much lower than people think. Some Pokemon are useless, but even a baby pokemon can get max stats in PMD. Though all you really have to do to make it more "realistic" is introduce the use of items. Use a few paralysing wands, use a few oran berries and reviver seeds.

How would Trubbish and Garbodor even exist in the PMD world?

>>58899089
They probably just manifest from whatever from of waste the PMD societies generate. (Hopefully they generate waste other than feces, if Hissuian Voltorb and Electrode can take look like the ancient pokeball before the invention of modern ones, Turdish and Garbodung could very well be a thing)

>>58899089
Because no matter how much PMD later decided against it, PMD is a post apocalyptic world where most humans died off. Maybe they had to retreat into space for the most part or something. Trubbish and Garbodor were already created before the event that led to humans going into hiding.

>>58897385

Rescue Team and Explorers will always BTFO you. At best, you can claim that Gates and Super occurred in a different universe that had similar events to Rescue Team/Explorers but weren't the same.

>>58899188
Best case scenario, the events of Gates and Super (as well as the previous games) carry on the same perfectly fine without humans ever existing in the pokemon world.

Worst case scenario half the franchise isn't fucking canon to make room for your post-apocaliptic doomsday headcannon.

>>58899298
If Gates and Super are canon, then Rescue Team and Explorers aren't canon and they just had the characters in Super for fun.
Post apocalypse is the only thing that makes sense in Rescue Team and Explorers' stories. Explorers' protagonist is even from the PMD World. There's no way around humans existing in the PMD World. Even Rescue Team has it that Gengar as a human trainer with Gardevoir as his Pokemon invoked Ninetales' curse before eventually reincarnating.

Gates and Super aren’t canon, they are their own world.

>>58899188
SEETHE

>>58899458
If you try and insist that humans never existed in PMD's world you're an illogical Gatesfag who isn't a real fan of Mystery Dungeon.
If you recognise that Rescue Team and Explorers make it clear that humans really do exist in the PMD world then you're a logical, good person that's a fan of the series.
It's that simple. I know if I had to pick one, I'd be the person who actually played Rescue Team and Explorers.

>>58899322
Idk which one sounds more logical to you:
>Gates and Super:
No, there are no humans in the pokemon world. If a human were to be sent to the pokemon world, they must manifest as a pokemon.
>Rescue Team and Explorers:
Humans do exists, but you never find any (as a human) in these games about exploration. There are human structures, but no human is ever seen near them. Do the humans isolate themselves from the pokemon? Why so? The two humans we know of were able to develop bonds with pokemon. How come the humans sent to the world of pokemon need to be turned into one, if humans already exist?

>>58900360
Honestly i'd take someone who played Gates and/or Super over someone who played Explorers. The latter strike me as people who haven't played the entire series lol.

>>58900398
I'll always take the original intention which is Rescue Team and Explorers. It also explains how the manmade Pokemon even exist as they were human creations before whatever caused the human world to become the Pokemon world. If it was a Pokemon only world then many Pokemon just shouldn't exist, as they only existed through humanity's actions.
As for why we never see other humans, I think it's safe to say that humans are near extinction. They're a true rarity that keep to themselves, the reason for that potentially being to do with how the balance in the world shifted. Keep in mind that humans became a myth so the events leading to it would have happened long ago and are forgotten. Perhaps humans like Gengar are what led to Pokemon revolting.
>How come the humans sent to the world of pokemon need to be turned into one, if humans already exist?
Because the protagonist can only save the day through being a Pokemon, though in Explorer's case the protag being a Pokemon when he travelled back in time was a complete accident and never a part of the plan. If you keep the MC human in any of the PMD games aside from Explorers there's no apparent win condition for them.
>Honestly i'd take someone who played Gates and/or Super over someone who played Explorers.
I'd always take someone who played Rescue Tteam and Explorers over someone who played Gates and Super as they're the core that the franchise was built on. Gates was shit and Super can't truly stand on it's own as it has so many memberberries and relies on you knowing the PMD story formula for twists like the ending.

>>58899411
Is there a reason to think there is a single 'PMD world' outside of the cameos in Super? The other games are pretty self-contained. Trying to force them all to share a canon creates an inconsistent setting and adds nothing to the stories of the games.

all timelines are canon. it's a multiverse

>>58900433
Humans became a myth around the time of Gates, so if we're gonna discount that game (like we should) then we shouldn't worry about them being a myth or being near extinction. I'd say the PMD games likely take place in an area that is just isolated from the regions inhabited by humans. The lab and power plant from Rescue Team imply that there may have been a research organization that traveled there at some point. Treasure Sea is filled with sunken pirate ships, but they're only pirate ships according to rumors. "It is said that on its floor lie the treasures of pirate ships sunken long ago." Maybe in reality they're just the boats researchers used to travel here, and not all of them survived the journey.

The regions of the PMD games would be of unique interest to pokemon professors and researchers, as the pokemon there seem to be more sentient. That and the existence of mystery dungeons. Whatever research projects were going on in the PMD regions have either ended, or the professors and scientists have just gotten better at hiding and are quietly observing their behavior.

I know this shatters people's isekai fantasies so it'll probably be discounted, but it more closely fits the older games using existing canon and minimal speculation. I think it's the most likely explanation if you discount Gates and Super.

… Or humans have just been wiped out because thy pissed off the magical creatures who can breathe fire. Ever considered that, Einstein?

>>58900508
No, there isn’t, cameobait in Super doesn’t count for much when it can be largely ignored throughout the entire game.
Explorers built off of Rescue Team, Super built off of Gates, and Squad is its own thing. There’s at minimum 3 different PMD worlds with 3 different histories.

What's your opinions on the EoS Wonder Mail exploits? (The ones that let you make any floor have any fixed room through generated Treasure Memos, or unlock any dungeon trough generated Jirachi Challenge requests).
I find them really boring personality. Like no shit if you input a Wonder Mail that points to the wrong fixed room ID or Dungeon ID, something that can't generate normally, you're going to get funky results.
I much prefer the exploits that work withing the bounds of the game, like forcing the Jirachi wish to give you a Chansey of Blissey by making those two the only pokemon you don't have a copy of when wishing for "Something good".

I want to replay Rescue Team, but don't know which version is best. Is the new content in DX worth giving up the pixel art of Red/Blue for?

>>58909176
The bigest changes from the originals to DX have to do with updating the gameplay to the standard of the prior entry (wands, on the fly leader swaping, pushing, megas...), plus some new aditions (having up to 8 pokemon in the team trough dungeons recruits, rare qualities, mystery houses, strong foes...). Besides overall quality of live and some gen 4+ mons here and there, and putting the graphichs and sound desing to the side, DX offers similar content to the originals.

If you don't care about the gameplay, then I suggest you replay BRT. But if you DO care about it, you should aim to play both at some point in time

DX has a lot of Quality of Life additions along with some questionable gameplay changes, but if by "new content" you mean stuff like new dungeons or story content then DX has none. Seriously, I think the amount of new/changed story dialogue can be counted on a single hand and that is the most disappointing part of the remake.

Personally I would just play both but since you have already experienced the original then might as well give DX a try.

It's the same set of postgame dungeons? I knew they added megas but if there aren't more dungeons I might just play Red or Blue.

Do you ever look at something you made half a year ago and feel an urge to completely redo it? For a while now it was growing in me when I was looking at some of my old reviews, ones I made before I read more comics. Well, I decided to act on it and did a small rewrite of the reviews I made.

Around half of my reviews have been updated, mostly the earlier ones, and they are now clearer and more consistent. If you're interested in reading some PMD comics but don't know where to start, I am now up to 38 reviews, which can all be read in a nice rentry:

https://rentry.org/PMDComicReviews

I will continue to post the new reviews in the thread (which is actually becoming a bit of a pain in the ass because rentry does spoilers differently, to be honest, and also they get longer and don't always fit in one post). I'm not going to repost all the old ones, of course, so you might want to take a look at the rentry even if you've already seen it.

PKMN: Project Amulet (Blazermaze00)

https://comicfury.com/comicprofile.php?url=projectamulet

120 pages, ongoing (Jan 2026).

Zangoose and Ledian, no humans. No references to games.

This will likely be an emotional character-driven journey adventure with great stakes and saving the world. The story isn't far enough to make definitive statements.

I don't really like the setup of the main character being a Very Special Boy that holds the titular Very Special McGuffin, but the comic isn't far enough to say definitely if that's going to be good or bad. It hasn't gotten around to explaining what's the deal with the main character and with the amulet and where exactly the comic is going yet. For now I'm leaning towards it being a reasonable implementation. The characters shown so far are believable, and they have some decent groundwork laid down for future development. The emotional parts are also written really well. This comic uses specific Pokemon moves, but the Pokemon aren't limited to four slots, which I think is a good call and gives a pretty good variety in the fight scenes. The author also puts the names of the moves being used in the image hover text instead of slapping "X used Y" text over the move, which I think is a nice balance between allowing the reader to know which moves are being used without disturbing the verisimilitude. I also like small details like the main character walking on twos when he needs his hands, but switching to fours when he walks long-distance, or Zangoose being immune to Shadow Sneak. My biggest complaint is that the characters and the plot feel pretty generic and archetypical. So far everyone is a one-way street, the plot is literally The Hero's Journey and the blurb opens with "The balance of light and darkness is at stake." Being archetypical is not a killer, per se, it is executed well, and this is something that could change as the story develops.

Broken Code (lxvepup)

https://comicfury.com/comicprofile.php?url=pmdbc / https://comicfury.com/comicprofile.php?url=brokencodearchive old version

~220 pages, ongoing (Jan 2026).

Plusle human, in a team with Espeon, Dragonite, and Darkrai. Throws a vague but pretty big spoiler for Explorers in your face for no reason. Aside from that, no connections to games.

Grand-scale "save the world" character-driven drama/adventure. The blurb calls it a coming-of-age story, which hasn't yet been realised, so I can neither confirm nor deny. Occasional dark themes listed on the first page as content warning.

The first 20 pages of this comic feature Arceus, Mew, Darkrai, and a shiny Espeon with heterochromia (and the new version's Dragonite was a Yvetal in the old one). I think that's a good way to start a review of a comic that starts by showing you Arceus. First, I'll get pre-reboot out of the way. It ended at around 80 pages; the rewrite is about 80% shot-for-shot the same. It cleared up some badly written dialogue lines (characters knowing things they shouldn't, logical leaps, sentences that aren't clear) and improved some of the panel and page arrangement. There are few changes aside from that and there's no point reading the original. Overall, the story so far is alright. Some of the characters feel underdeveloped and have unclear motivations. The emotional parts aren't done very well (it feels more like an infodump than processing grief). There's also occasional "characters do unreasonable things for the sake of plot advancement/drama", and minor plot holes. When the Delibird catches up to Rose, she sarcastically thanks her for "leading" her to Team GlowHeart... I'm sorry, you missed a shiny Espeon and a DRAGONITE standing five steps away from you and needed to bump into a random Plusle to notice them? While actively searching for them? For positives, it's pretty cute, the character interactions are mostly pretty good, and the HD remastered edition has pretty clear improvements on some of the weakest parts of the original, which shows promising capability for improvement. A legendary and a shiny on a team is still too much, but you know, it's better than two legendaries. If the author focuses on improvement of the characters, it could turn into a decent story.

Mountain Luxio (sugarmasonmearii)

https://comicfury.com/comicprofile.php?url=pmdaumtlu

~183 pages, indefinite hiatus (Feb 2026)

The author mentioned in a blog post that they wanted to make "a No-Eeveelution-Characters story", which is why the main character is a Luxio, supporting characters are a Murkrow, a Floragato, and a Torracat, and a minor side character is a Sylveon. No humans. Some vague references to games, so vague I wouldn't consider them spoilers. Oh, and major spoilers for Celeste.

Celeste is a 2018 platform video game. The main character is a woman named Madeline on a journey of self-discovery through climbing a really tall mountain where metaphorical becomes literal, and she will have to face her inner insecurities- no, wait, the comic. Mountain Luxio is a 2022 comic. The main character is a Luxio named Louise on a journey of self-discovery through climbing a really tall mountain where metaphorical becomes literal, and she will have to face her inner insecurities.

If you want a short review of this comic, it's a lot of work and effort put into a beautiful but very derivative product. The central plot is simply a retelling of Celeste. While the author said they're planning to deviate from the game's story, with the comic being put on ice (their own words), that hasn't materialised. Now, being fair, the story isn't entirely made from the plot of Celeste. For one, the comic goes into a lot of details about what actual mountain climbing is like, such as acclimation, weather, camping, food, gear, all of which I know absolutely 0 about, so I have to trust that the author is either familiar with mountain climbing or did a lot of research. These parts are pretty interesting.

The comic tends to flip-flop between realistic mountain climbing parts where you can almost forget the main characters are pokemon, and mystery dungeon-esque parts that operate on fairly literal game logic. It's not complete gameplay elements, but mystery dungeons are an explicit thing, full of wild pokemon, that the MC has to occasionally fight through, there's a reference to monster houses, moves are explicitly called out. Imagine a comic about mountain climbers, except the mountain has angry natives and the climbers have to sometimes box them to get through a cave. It feels like they're just there because it's a PMD comic so it must have mystery dungeons, they don't serve any story purpose, and in my opinion, don't mesh well with mountain climbing. The fights aren't even interesting, you'll usually see the MC use a move or two, then a shot of her dashing through the dungeon.
The characters are nothing exceptional. The main character, for the most part, has one character trait of wanting to climb the mountain. Floragato is also largely lifted from Celeste, with his photography being swapped for setting-appropriate drawing, and for some reason he randomly says Spanish words. Murkrow is also a Celeste character, an old mysterious lady giving out cryptic advice, except she appears a lot more in the comic, which makes her less interesting. Did she really need to show up to give the main character... a bag for berries? It makes her lose her charm. Torracat is the only actual new addition, and the totality of his appearances is to belittle the MC and tell her she's not strong enough to climb the mountain so she can defiantly say "no" to him.

There's an error in the spoiler markup for Broken Code on the Rentry.

The comic has really good art, probably the most detailed artstyle I've seen. It's very high-quality, with detailed backgrounds and shading. The pages are quite dense, so it feels longer than you might expect by the page count. I liked the sections where characters discuss or perform mountain climbing. I want to emphasise the art here, the comic is very well-drawn, both in terms of skill and effort. The character designs are striking a good balance between standing out and not being overdesigned, and the backgrounds are incredible. I'd even say it might be worth reading for the art alone. The amount of effort required was, unfortunately, one of the contributing factors to the comic's hiatus. The central story, however, is really boring, because, and I mentioned this before, but *it's literally the plot of Celeste*. The author clearly has a lot of artistic skill and dedication, so it's unfortunate that the writing doesn't match up.

Scorbunny human, Froakie partner, a few more characters join the main group later.

Classic heroic adventure.

When I say classic heroic adventure, I do mean classic and heroic. Characters will constantly strike a Cool Pose to deliver a Cool Monologue for Maximum Aura Farming before charging into battle. Or before having dinner. What you see in the prologue is the tone for the rest of the comic. It's very shonen. This is the kind of a comic that works best if you don't take it very seriously, because it doesn't take itself very seriously. The artstyle also fits it, with characters tending towards human-like with noodle limbs, which departs from official designs to let them pose like humans. The setting of this comic is that the known world is a group of small islands floating in the air, with sky ships (which look like sailing ships) that travel between them, and, of course, sky pirates. I can't say much about its plot yet, and it doesn't spend too much time on the characters; they're established, but are pretty archetypical and straightforward. Mostly you just get "yep, he has glasses, he's the nerdy one", the two main characters are even colour-coded red and blue, adding to the feel of classic heroic story. Most of the story so far has been establishing the setting and the characters, and it should make for some decent light reading if it maintains the current tone, which I expect - it doesn't look like the type of a comic to suddenly start throwing curveballs.

Mudkip human, Charmander partner, more characters join later. I guess the banner now spoils it anyway: rest of the team is Rowlet, Haunter, and Mimikyu.

Fight-heavy story-driven adventure.

The start of this comic is mostly silly and close to what you'd expect to see in a comic adaptation of RT: two-man rescue team, mission from a job board, mystery dungeon. It does not stay that way for long, however. The focus very quickly shifts to a high-stakes large-scale conflict with the antagonist that involves a large number of characters. Main characters move around trying to uncover and stop antagonists' plot, get new team members, meet new people, and have big fights. The writing is decent, if a little too simple and juvenile. Earlier chapters often have very inconsistent speech bubble placement that makes it hard to understand the dialogue order. The artstyle starts out simple but serviceable, and improves over time as it starts using more difficult poses and complex backgrounds, while remaining cute. Chapter 9 even has an animated intro (link in the cover description, don't miss it). The comic manages a large cast pretty well, characters are distinct and have their places in the story, while also balancing giving them fitting accessories without turning into an OC fashion festival, and it also tends to lean towards uncommon Pokemon species. The comic is pretty bloody, characters often get severely beaten and bleeding, but the actual impact never goes beyond being knocked out and needing bandages and rest. If someone is targeted by a very powerful attack or if it looks like someone is about to die, you can almost certainly expect that on the next page someone will leap in to save them just in the nick of time. This jumping in at the last moment happens very, very often. Overall, about half of the comic is made up of long fights, and the rest is given to regrouping, conversations, and planning. We don't really get deep dives into characters. It's a good read if you'd like to see a diverse cast of Pokemon fighting each other with a simple plot to serve as connecting tissue.

someone tried to recommend this one in a server of writers and this was before i found out about their poor writing, both their tips and their actual work
it should've been a sign when i couldn't even sit through several pages of it without being deeply disappointed

I don't think I'd say this comic has bad writing, it's just incredibly corny and likes to ham it up even more. It would be bad if it was unintentional, but like I said, it doesn't take itself seriously. If you don't like corny you won't like this comic, so it helps that it's front-loaded and gets like that right in the prologue.
