>>59033851>>Do you believe that Spike Chunsoft will release another PMD game within the next 3 years? Honestly no, but I just think its time for fans to take up the mantle, whether that be fan games or making an original project in the same style. Similar to bug fables for paper mario,>>What is a "monkey's paw" plot point you'd secretly love to see in a PMD game but know the chances of it being done well are next to none?Easily that you fail to rescue a pokemon, but xerneas offers to bring them back to life. But they are brought back as an egg and have no memories of their life, family or anything. Their family curses the exploration team and hates them eventually becoming a catalyst in helping an evil entity like darkrai.>>If they brought back exclusive items, what would be some good ones for newer Pokémon?No idea>>How do Pokemon celebrate big events? Fireworks? Flashy displays of advanced moves?A few electric and firetypes use their big attacks into the sky, most "celebration" shows end with a big pokemon firing a hyperbeam. In winter an ice type uses blizzard to create snow for everyone to enjoy, there is always a white christmas at the guild.
>>59033851A bit odd to leave out the link to the Q&A. Was that intentional?>Do you believe that Spike Chunsoft will release another PMD game within the next 3 years?Fat chance. Anyone thinking, "But Pokopia will reignite interest in npin-offs" They'll probably surpass the live-time revenue of Pokopia with just a few months of microtransactions from their wide palett of mobile games. And honestly, I don't find myself buying a Switch 2, even for a new PMD.>What is a "monkey's paw" plot point you'd secretly love to see in a PMD game but know the chances of it being done well are next to none?IDK, something like natural disasters being stoped by plunging the world in stiltness and stagnaation? Not really sure about that. I'll give a quick shout out to the hack: PMD: The Bright Future instead.>If they brought back exclusive items, what would be some good ones for newer Pokémon?No, just fucking no. You expect me to go "Oh, I'd loved it if they added this cool new effect to the game to then lock it behind grinding for a specific item and restricting it only to Dachsbun."?>How do Pokemon celebrate big events? Fireworks? Flashy displays of advanced moves?I think the pokémon are smart enough to know not to pull out a celebratory gunfire. Fireworks for sure.
>>59034351Your seething hatred of species exclusives is comical, kek
These threads are dead since pokopia :((
>>59034809>2 long messages answering the 4 questions provided withing 4 hours of the thread's creation>Fuking dead thread.
>>590348098/10 B+ tier rage bait
>>59034822>>59034864Lmao, I remember when these threads used to have at least a reply every half hour. now its like 1 an hour sometimes less. It's not rage bait if its true sadly
>>59033851>>Do you believe that Spike Chunsoft will release another PMD game within the next 3 years?No>>What is a "monkey's paw" plot point you'd secretly love to see in a PMD game but know the chances of it being done well are next to none?BBEG is foiled by <insert new legendary here> half way into the story, just for the solution to cause more problems than it solved>>If they brought back exclusive items, what would be some good ones for newer Pokémon?I like the concept of exclusive items, but they are in reality so fucking boring. 9 times out of 10 its just "oh your number one weakness? now it heals you."I'd rather see each evo line get a singular item that is very specific to the line itself.>>How do Pokemon celebrate big events? Fireworks? Flashy displays of advanced moves?The biggest niggas of each type use their most extravagant ranged moves in the air and have them all collide together.>>59034809>since pokopiabeen going on for like 6 months lets be real
>>59034992>This file is 4800x3600
>>59035038Don't shoot the messenger, I just saved it as is ages ago.
>>59034888Side effect of the site dying, I bet. All threads are way slower nowadays
>>59035062Honestly seems like everything was better in the past, doesn't it?
>>59035067I dunno if better, but unless I'm wrong, the whole site seems slowerPerhaps I *am* wrong and nostalgia is just affecting my judgement
>>59033851>>Do you believe that Spike Chunsoft will release another PMD game within the next 3 years?no>>What is a "monkey's paw" plot point you'd secretly love to see in a PMD game but know the chances of it being done well are next to none?anything esoteric involving souls or friendship and shit, gets rife to be edgy or bland>>If they brought back exclusive items, what would be some good ones for newer Pokémon?i just want more immunity providers man, just make them easier to come by if they're gonna be so simple, it's more the fact that they're so obscure than it is anything about them individually as to why they weren't used.>>How do Pokemon celebrate big events? Fireworks? Flashy displays of advanced moves?why not both
i will not stop until the wigglytuff guild is blown up
Updates pushed to archive.
Reminder that the fourth Clover Guild QnA is open!https://rentry.org/ChrPrompt4
When I was last here, I remember there were some people working on ROM hacks. Are there any updates on how those projects are going?
>>59037540Depends on which romhacks you are thinking about.Project Orion hasn't gotten updates in a while, but it is complete.PMD Sky: Postgame QoL Edition was completed.There was also last year's hack jam Clover hack (Togetic's Very Special Episode).
it's pretty amazing that this thread is much more active than the trainer thread
Someday I'll get off my ass and update my hacks.
>>59038220What’s that thread like? I went in once to see, got shotgunned in the face with femboy porn, and never went back.
Rescue Team XD or Red Rescue Team on NSO?
>>59039486Both.But if you have to pick one: DX if you have already played Explorers and want something a bit more different gameplay-wise. Otherwise, stick with the original.
>>59038175One with a whole new story taking place in a new continent and featured all 1025 monster species.
>>59039536nah we can leave out most of gen 8 and 9. Aint nobody missing shitters like gen 8 elephant.
>>59033851>next augustWhat happens in August?
>>59039515I played Blue Rescue Team at launch, so its been quite a while own Gates of Infinity & Super Mystery Dungeon, but haven't played either.Figure I'll play either DX or Red Rescue Team, then play one of those.
>>59039536your best bet is pmdo>no storyfuck u
>>59040182What are you talking about?
>>59040508File name says "next August trust the plan", implying there's a chance we'll get PMD news in August. But I don't know why August is special.
>>59040526they generally run presents in august too, so the meme is to wait til then for more disappointment
>>59040526I don't know. Mystery Dungeon Day? Apparently last year, a day after the unofficial holiday, the English Pokemon twitter posted a screenshot of the personality quiz. I don't have Twitter to check this myself, I'm just regurgitating information from another site.
>>59040547Screenshots don't mean anything, they just toss them out whenever they feel like it.
Someday I'll get off my ass and update my Clover story.
My shitposts folder is thirsty for shitposts, please provide some.
>>59041465Does this scratch your itch?
Also have this, though not necesarily pmd related.
First time using 4chan, I hope this is the right general. Where the fuck do I find the items required for this habitat?
>>59041654I think you gotta ask your local Shinx/Vulpix duo and they'll open the way to the Deviantart part of the region.
>>59041654Fuck, you got me. Good shit.
>>59036979Would this be the weakest possible explorers duo?
>>59041654We're never gonna stop getting these posts, are we?
>>59033851I respect all of you who participated in the clover guild for 3 entire years. Thanks for having something for me to check on every once in a while
>>59041465
>>59042001No Skitty is S tier in explorers. Not S+++ like in rescue team, but still very strong. Normalize means everything including your basic A attack gets 1.5x boosted damage. Normalize Blizzard is a nuclear bomb. Phanpy is straight ass but that doesn't matter when the other pokemon can solo most of the game.Weakest duo is probably phanpy with an eevee partner. Runaway is awful when AI controlled and neither pokemon has much going for them until much later in the game.
>>59043025Zigzagoon is busted in RT. Despite having shit levelup stats, it quickly outdamages the protag due to sheer levelup speed.
>>59044427The rock should have been the relic fragmen.
>>59044427why does chattot have feminine eye lashes and dick sucking lips?
>>59044704Because that's how the original is.
>>59045029fair enough
Friendly reminder to always choose Delibirds for your mail purposes
>>59043344I wonder what the absolute worst custom duo would be without editing stats.Slacking and Regigigas, maybe?
>>59046420One of the cocoon pokemon that can’t move unless you are playing as them for sure.
>>59046420Not custom, but I was looking at the Wiiware options and some of the combos you can do here look nightmarish.I haven't played the game to know how bad it is though. I think you're not actually stuck with your original duo here? But still, who the fuck would pick Wynaut+Azurill.
>>59046521you get the whole team and it's an entirely different story with wiiware
>>59036479i welcome question for my on-coming comic guys btw, refer to them has poliwhirl and meowth !!and sara obviously
froggo
>>59044427
>>59046580Poliwhirl's a fat fuck
Toying with writing an idea for a story i had about 10 years ago, only trying to adapt it for CG. Still pretty unsure if I'd want to have them join or have it just be a one-off.
>>59048112Sometimes one-shots get spun out to full series. Just give it a shot and see how you’re feeling afterwards.
>>59048165True, my first story here was definitely started as a oneshot. But that's the problem with this idea i have, I've already got a duo I'm writing about, and I couldn't see it becoming a trio.
>>59048176There are people who have multiple groups. Growlithe has the Fergus squad, Petal-Purr has the gay horse, Makky has a whole cinematic universe. Just give it a shot, see how things go. Maybe by the end they’ll feel like a full team, maybe you’ll just have another character floating around, maybe it really is just a one-shot.
>last time i looked at anything clover guild related was two years agodamn i need to find time to pick this up again
>>59048760Revive the general, Anon. It’s up to you alone I did the same thing as you
>>59048794okay anon if you believe in me I'll continue to procrastinate on my story because i am both a perfectionist and a bad writer
>>59048824When did I make this post?
I gave up on writing since I looked back on everything I wrote since 2024 and cringed too hard at how fucking bad and inconsistent it all was.
>>59033851Has Pokopia's existence rekindled any chance of a new mystery dungeon game?
>>59049107Haha, No. At this rate nothing will rekindle the chance of a new game, at best we are getting a Sky 'remake' when they remember the Mystery Dungeon series exists and they want easy money.
Has this VN been shared here yet? https://pennio.itch.io/ties-of-fate
>>59049681What’s it about?
>>59049107At this rate instead of hoping for a new PMD it might be more realistic to hope for a new spinoff with setting and writing similar to PMD.
>>59050335What's this say?Also Cider is about to become a plate of nuggets with behavior like this.
>>59046512I forget those pokemon even had those gimmicks. I kinda wish PMD did those gimmicks more often, surprised me a while back when I was playing rescue team and the sudowoodos had unique behavior where they didn't move.
>>59049681I played some of it. The story with the Gardevoir (one that starts with walk away) is really good, there a couple of decent ones (Bulbasaur, Dewott, Zoroark, Scrafty), a good chunk is just kinda eh, there's a couple of really stupid really short stories. Most of them are just not very interesting. Ones I actually disliked were the first story on the list with the flagpole that's about a Ninetales that worships Ho-Oh or something, it's endless conversation about boring lore, and also the corner in the cafe with the fat Plusle and Furret that was just "tonight's episode: writer's barely disguised fat fetish."I will say though that it's worth downloading it to check out Gardevoir's story and nothing else, because it's that fucking good. But the rest of them were okay at best.
>>59051168>with the fat Plusle and Furret that was just "tonight's episode: writer's barely disguised fat fetish."don't even get me started on the fetishes in that author's fanfiction as someone who is currently suffering through their slop.
>>59050222From what I've seen of it, a bunch of writers made a PMD-inspired VN where each writer made a short route, except that instead of creating characters for this most of the writers just used characters from their own existing fanfics.It does have a couple of okay characters and some good art, but the rest is too short/shit to care or feature your typical Deviantart-tier designs.
>>59050578>>59050335>team cozy, What's this?>They're our cotton beds>GIVE ME THAT>This will teach you not to interfere with Chatot's plans>(Back to hay beds)>(Sad Team Cozy)
>>59051473This reminds me of the suposed story that Nintendo of America wanted to localize pikachu's design into a tiger with huge breasts, only keeping the tail.>GuessTheSpecies.pngDude, it's clearly cylizard!! it has the wheel sack!!!
I never really gave it thought, but it's kewl that the music can change between floors, it turns optional dungeon #133769420 into its own special playlist
>>59051886I strongly dislike the approach Explorers took to postgame dungeon music, where it pretty much changes every floor. Exacerbated by the ocasional shift from so tense, late game dungeon theme to fuckign beach cave.I much preffer the way Super did it, where is has an entire past game's songs to choose from. That way it gives more visibility to some songs, like Infinite Dungeon 2 (Yeah, that's the name, just go with it)
>>59051886>it's a dungeon that has treeshroud forest/miracle sea in the setthese are the exact fucking song.
Look at this thug ass gangsta shit
>>59054480You will NEVER be this cool
