>>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
>>59054480She's so cool.
>>59054480
>>59054879Love how the galsses are transparent and you can just quite see Booker's eyes.
>>59051902Ehh... Gates' OST had a very subdued orchestration that makes many of the songs feel very, very distant and dispassionate. It's mostly a minus than a plus imho.Glacier Palace Great Spire and the 2nd Bittercold Battle are amazing though.
>>59054480>>59054879They’re both so coolThey really were made for each other
>>59056226>My life is like A video game>Triying hard to Beat the stage>All while I am Still collecting Coins>Trying hard to Save the girl>Obstacles I'm Jumping hurdles>I'm growing up To be a big Boy
>>59056226Porygon my beloved
>>59056226A first person Mystery Dungeon sounds pretty fun, has it been done?
>>59054255probably my favorite clover pic
>>59056435Beast's shit always brings the laughs.
We’re not waiting for a new PMD anymore we’re waiting for the next Clover guild entry
>>59056226>>59056344>never got to read porygons intro story before his bios corruptedowari da
>>59057013Two stories were published in the last thread
>>59055439Also this whole fucking medleyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzItDJ-BfX0Plus holehills and ochre quarry that didn't make it
finished explorers and haven't touched it after credit roll. they really did him dirty. he deserved to come back, being the original partner
>>59058045He has a full special episode in Sky, check it out anon
>>59033851>>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?Plot twist where you're convinced that you're the hero but are actually the partner who gets left eating shit alone at the end. Nevermind, EoS already did that
>>59058467>spoileralso super
>>59057220dont worry it was bad and terminally unfinishedrewrite ""soon"""t. porygonanon
>>59033851>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?Having humans be hated for some reason in the Pokémon society the protagonist ends up in, with this causing the protagonist to try his best to hide the fact that he is a former human while often being afraid that the partner will hate him if the secret is revealed.
>>59058757I encourage you to return to writing, Porygon was an interesting idea for a character that has a lot of unexplored potential.
>>59058898honestly i don't think i was particularly good at tying him with the clover guild, and my intended backstory wouldn't mesh very welldepending on how the writing goes i might release the story as a standalone thing
tfw want to join clover guild but am too autistic and shy to do so
Playing explorer of sky, can't decide between all the female mons for my squritle partner
>>59059274pick whichever one you think is cutest
>>59059261Just remember that someday clover guild will be over and all you'll be left with is the regret of knowing you never tried
>>59059261I agree with >>59059763. The magma is warm (lol) and welcoming; you should stop by and say hi! If you don't like it, hey at least you tried.

>>59060941You're talking about the only character in canon who led a cult to hunt down and eradicate humans.
>>59060973>wow it took 10 of you to kill 1 humon
I just realized grovyle is basically pokemon's dorumon (i.e. suffering incarnate). no wonder it stood out so much to me>walks through desolate land alone without a single ally>hunted relentlessly and ruthlessly by ruling deity for opposing its plans>finds friend to take care of and travels to another world>undergoes immeasurable amounts of suffering (death of dearest friend, becoming public enemy no. 1, fight with (ex-)dearest friend, execution attempt, mindbreak attempt, betrayal, almost getting soul sucked out and possessed to kill best friend)>keeps going in spite of it all and sacrifices itself in suicidal mission that results in wiping out deity and triggering a reset
Never played pmd before, but I found a copy of Explorers of Sky at a yard sale for $5. Should I sell it or play it? Both? It turns out it's worth a bit on eBay.
>>59062393Play it, then decide. They're not making more of them, it's not getting any cheaper.
>>59062393>$5I'm assuming unsealed, so go ahead and play it. guaranteed to make you bawl your eyes out
>>59062393dont play it youll turn into a furry. sell it to me instead for $10 and double your money.
>>59062446>picthat reminds me, grovyle was originally going to be a lucario according to one nintendo dream interview in 2009, but they turned it down because it clashed with its hero of justiceps: pic not official
>>59062485meant its image as a hero of justice
>>59062485Could you imagine? We likely wouldn't have gotten Riolu as a starter in Sky were this the case. A world without Riolutards is a better world, no questions asked.
>>59062511How could you say that? Riolu and Lucario are the cutest and best boys.
>>59062511>We likely wouldn't have gotten Riolu as a starter in Sky were this the caseWhat makes you think that when Treecko is a starter?
>>59062543Treecko is a starter in mainline pokemon, so if they want to include all starter pokemon, they can't leave him out. Plus Treecko was already a playable option in Rescue Team.Plus when they added Shinx to Sky, they felt the need to change the Luxray boss to Manectric. They can't exactly change the species of a mayor character in the improved version.
>>59062485>it clashed with its hero of justiceHuh? What hero of justice?
>>59062511Think about how many people lust after Grovyle now and then tell me again how him being a Lucario would make this any better.
>>59062485>>59062901>had my first crush on Grovyle when I was like 11>fell in love with Lucario after, always felt like I was cheating on Grovyle >always pick Riolu as myself because that's the closest I could get to both of themYou're seriously telling me I could've had my cake and ate it too?
>>59056379I think etrian odyssey is like this but i’ve never played it so i could be entirely wrong
>>59059261Don’t be shy or you will get your guild member marked with an I for inactive like me.
>>59056379The closest thing I can think of is "Orcs & Elves" for the DS or "The Quest" for PC. Both being first-person turn-based dungeon crawlers that use a square grid movement.>>59062485What I find the most interesting about that interview is that Eevee might not have been a starter in Sky were it not for a letter from a girl from France. It's weird to think Eevee might have been left out back then with how much it is shilled nowadays.It was also interesting how Phanpy was added as a starter because a based staff member really liked him.>>59062511Considering how much Grovyle x Dusknoir ship shit we have now, I shudder to think of how much worse it would have been if Lucario's shillmon+furry power was there instead of Grovyle.>>59062806They said "Lucario has a strong reputation for being a Pokémon of justice, and does not seem like a criminal."I have no idea of where did they got that "reputation of justice" from since I don't remember the Gen4 games alluding to that, unless they are referring to the Lucario statue from Rescue Team and the reputation around it.>>59063307I've only played the DS games so idk if it is still like this but despite being first-person Etrian uses a fixed dungeon layout rather than a randomized one, and the enemies are random encounters instead of being seen on the map (except for the infamous F.O.E).SMT Strange Journey is also similar in that regard.
>>59063506Despite everything about it, I think the Nanachi pillow is the weirdest part of this image
>>59063506>Considering how much Grovyle x Dusknoir ship shit we have now, I shudder to think of how much worse it would have been if Lucario's shillmon+furry power was there instead of Grovyle.>>59062901People lust after Lucario as is. If he takes Grovyle's roll in the story, then that's a pokemon that doesn't get metric tons of lude art at the expence of another mon that would have gotten it either way.
>>59063506>Eevee might not have been a starter in Sky were it not for a letter from a girl from France.Wow, the French actually did something good for a change
>>59063506it was late at night and jap isn't particularly easy to translate (my head was orbiting around 正義の味方, i.e. cliche phrase meaning an ally of justice, hence I used the word herobottom line is that lucario is strongly associated with justice, and that made it a poor fit for the role of thief
>>59063538>I shudder to think of how much worse it would have been if Lucario's shillmon+furry power was there instead of Grovyle.>If he takes Grovyle's roll in the story, then that's a pokemon that gets extra metric tons of lude art that would have gotten it either way.Could you imagine the Lucario Renaissance?
>explorers of time (dialga's power) and darkness (dark dialga, dark world)>everyone theorizes explorers of sky references shaymin>no one mentions that spacetime is 時空(time+sky). space is written 空間, meaning sky is an obvious reference to palkiaI'm disappointed
>>59065139palkia a shit
I wanna replay Explorers of Sky, but I remember these games take too much time to beat. How long does it take to complete? Don't have much time.
>>59065645~5 hours for the main game if you're ultra quick maybe? i.e. exploit the shit out of the dojo and whole room moves to level up explosively, don't stop to recruit anyone, cheese bosses via seeds, no 990 IQ grind, focus only on story and don't touch the 70~99F dungeons, don't touch special episodes
>>59065877This picture erks me so much. From the background flowers whose outline makes them look like items, the bushes that you can't quite tell if you can stand on or not, the non aligned player sprites and the trademarked treeshade filter that HD2D games love to apply so much to make the game look more gourgeous and that in no way makes it harder to see what the fuck is on screen.
>>59065877>ayataramon and lillymonthat's more or less like being to zero isle north with a lv 20 partythose vending machines look quite interactable. not sure if it's the best idea as an ornament
>>59065645There are emulator cheats for 4x xp if you just want to smash through it for the characters and story.
>>59065989Damn, I want to play explorers of sky too but I don't have an action replay. I wish there was a cheat menu in the game by default lol, I want to play on my cartridge, not an emulator.
I've got to say that I really don't understand this obsession with cartridges. Just get a rom and play on an emulator, or get a flashcart if you really want to play on the DS, it'll be cheaper. And you can apply hacks and whatever else you want.
>>59066849I don't think I can play on cart again. Vanilla's missing basic things like my allies NOT rushing towards a visible landmine because they aren't one of the two blessed IQ groups that get Trap Avoider.
>there's anti-piracy exclusive to the Korean version of Explorersinterestinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKXczttW9_8
>>59068850For real? Most of these anti-piracy things are fake hoaxes because the subject became trendy a while ago.
>>59068989don't conflate them with people's attention-seeking creepypasta-tier bullshit. i hate that that's become the norm on social media sites now because now you can't tell genuine cool shit apart from weirdos wanting some clicks
>>59068850>random crashes>not the guild calling you a thief and having kekleons spawn constantly in dungeonsgrim
Nearly forgot it was St. Patrick's Day, so here's a very quick doodle of Booker wearing anti-pinch clothing.And this reminds me of a topic I've been wondering about. Most of the time, it seems like people draw their PMD OCs wearing the same outfit all the time, but in real life, people rarely wear the same clothes every day.Do you envision your OC changing outfits often, or do they prefer wearing the same kind of "uniform" all the time? And in general, do you like seeing characters that change their clothes regularly? Personally, I think it's neat to see a variety of outfits being used.
>>59069436My guys only wear Mach Ribbons, anything more would interfere with taking in sunlight/swimming.Though if they came in other colors, green would be a good scarf color
>>59068989Considering how South Korea had an exclusive demo of Blue Rescue for PC, I believe that.https://mysterydungeonwiki.com/wiki/Meta:Pok%C3%A9mon_Mystery_Dungeon:_Gold_Rescue_Team_-Challenge_the_Gold_Rank!-

>>59070177He's more than just his 'nanas you know.
Banana harvest is bountiful this season. Rain will survive for another year.
>>59070433If you plant one of the bananas does a tropius grow
>>59070275No he’s not. The only thing people do with Tropius is make banana jokes.
>>59070455That's a common misconception! Tropius' yellow fruits don't have viable seeds and can't be used to propagate them. You need to use their rhizome for propagation, so you actually have to cut his body into chunks and plant those.
>>59070628Which is a shame because it is a flying dinosaur and that is awesome>>59070655…s-scary
>>59070433
>>59070655>plant his banana with a reviver seedeasy life
Remember to give your Tropius a proper amount of light so that his yellow fruits grow nice and healthy!

>>59033851>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?I kind of want to see an attempt at a "inseparable friend group" dynamic with the protagonist having two partners instead of just one. But I feel that if they did that one would be prioritized while the other would end up as a third wheel.
>>59077208Magnemite…I would also love this but it would probably feel a little weird with a formless SI protagonist. It might work a little better if the story sections were a little more VN in nature.
>>59077208>with the protagonist having two partners instead of just onethat was basically time and darkness, complete with one of them being underdeveloped, and you literally never see him ever again
>>59077208Feeling deja vu.
>>59077322>that was basically time and darknessI honestly never played time or darkness, was the plot significantly different than what ended up in sky?
>>59077601I don't get it
>>59077926No. The only real differences are that there are no Special Episodes, and the stuff in the postgame about Shaymin Village was added in Sky. Otherwise the story is exactly the same, save for like, one or two extremely rare instances of altered dialogue that ultimately doesn't change anything.
>>59077942The recolored mythicals in the 2nd image are self inserts of the creator and her two boyfriends. Also some freaks ship their hero and partner, reason why I wouldn't want 2 partners in one game.
Imagine being Gayschlatt in that server and having to be all like "damn, Rahsee, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your barely changed rom and horrific spritework. I would totally give you a 9/10, both my friend and the real me." when all he really wants to do is whack it to Buizel x Archen porn. Like seriously imagine having to be Gayschlatt and not only sit in that chair while Rahsee flaunts her disgusting sprites in front of you, the low-res screen barely concealing her poor coloration and bad posing, and just sit there, minute after minute, hour after hour, while she talks herself up. Not only having to tolerate her monstrous fucking polycule but her haughty attitude as everyone on the server tells her she's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, BUBSY MYSTERY DUNGEON LOOKS LIKE THAT?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch her mannish fucking gremlin face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been playing nothing but a healthy diet of Curselure and Seven Symphonies and later True Courage for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the boonies in Reddit. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can hear her announce another hack as she posts about herself yet again, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to watch her sit there and revel in her "freshly cooked (for that is what she calls her hack)" beauty, the beauty she worked so hard for with her polycule in the previous months. And then the admin calls for another take, and you know you could get every single person in this room banned before the mods could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking Gayschlatt. You're not going to lose your future polycule over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.
I've been playing that new Crimson Chrysalis hack. Unsurprisingly, it's one of the most unfunny things I've ever played. 90% of the "comedy" is just wacky nonsense quirky chungus reddit humor and references to deltarune. And because it's a Chesyon hack there are multiple game breaking bugs, but don't worry guys One More Patch will fix it.
Haha wouldn't it be funny to step into a monster house that immediately gangrapes you haha no I don't mean like a metaphor I mean I'm full of cum on the ground haha I'm just joking unless...?

Like seriously imagine having to be Arnold and not only sit in that chair while Jamie Lee Curtis flaunts her disgusting body in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing her stretchmarks and leathery skin, and just sit there, take after take, hour after hour, while she perfected that dance.

And then the director calls for another take, and you know you could kill every single person in this room before the studio security could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking Arnold.

Is the clover guild dying? I had thought about writing a team and even started to think about bigger plots and stuff but this whole group seems like its becoming more and more inactive. Are anons just stopping and leaving? Because even the booru is more inactive and to be honest I dont really want to put in time to write just to join a dead collab.I know two stories were posted last thread but at least from here it feels its happening less and less. Ive even peeked at the magma a couple of times but its pretty dead which is a huge change from when I would pop in last year. I guess I just want to hear from anons in the collab if they are still around and their experience. and if its worth taking the time to try writing for the collab.
>>59080026if you want it to die faster then yeah don't post
>>59080026I think most anons will still be excited to have a new story and characters to learn about!personally, if you drop in the magma and say hi I always love to chat :D (though my timezone might make that difficult :d)
>>59080026You shouldn't do these things trying to get approval of other people. You should make them for yourself. The guild is definitely less active than it used to be, but I wouldn't say it's dying. There's still a decent amount of activity.
>>59080026It's been slowing down for a while. Lots of people don't write or draw anymore, and lots of people don't even read or review stories. And magma is largely a ghost town. But you're still guaranteed to get a small audience if you participate, and you can usually find people willing to discuss your story ideas and review your drafts. I for one am always interested to see new members.
>>59080026Less stories and drawings means that whatever you make will fill a void. I wouldn't hessitate if I were you.
I'm curious. Did anyone here use Cinccino's Gift Shop in GTI? Or friend gifts at all, for that matter?
>>59080835By the time I beat the game I was so burned out from all of the game's issues that it's still the only game i never went for 100% in. I probably used a gift one or two times when I first played on release.
>>59080026Even if the guild dies, you can just spin your work off into its own thing
>>59080845I'd like to say that even though GTI has the lowest amount of pokemon in the series, it's the hardest one to 100% due to how anoying it can get. Then I remembered that for Rescue Team, almost every last stage pokemon has to be obtained trough evolution.
>>59080917>exeggcute only spawns recruitable on 14f of howling forest>at a 0.62% rate, lower than anything else in the game>and you need two of them>and the leaf stone is only found in kecleon shops>inside wish cave>and only on shops that spawn on 13, 26, 33, 41, 49, 59, 65, 71, 78, 83, 88, 93Flike what the fuck is this shit? If you're going into wish cave you're better off just wishing for an exeggutor at that point.
probably gonna play gates to infinity or super mystery dungeon. My interest in pokemon suddenly resurfaced again
>>59081007Please share thoughts on the game and screencaps, they always interest me.Also reminder that SMD Chespin is the man
>>59081014I'm a degenerate in the end my thoughts turn into I could make nsfw out of this, along with oh this was fun
>>59080996Chansey, as much of a pain in the ass ass it is, at least the devs play into its rarity wuth Belsprout's dialogue in the postgame. Exeggcute is in the blody first dungeon (and with that, comes shit stats), and you can't recruit it there just because.
>>59081026Ponyta's one nobody ever mentions. It spawns around 58F, deeper into Joyous Tower than any other recruitable, it's level 30 which is very strong to boot, and to add insult to injury the only other dungeons it shows up in are Fiery Path and the Fire Dojo.Back when i still wrote guides i actually wrote a shitty manip to nab skitty/chansey/ponyta in one run, probably still up in the OP's guides somewhere
>>59081023Given that the first half of super takes place at a school, it'd be best of you play gates...
>>59081038Isn't Ponyta also a boss at the end of the Fire Dojo? You're telling me you can recruit the bosses of the in game rescue team dojos that are ment to be actual characters from the story an infinite amount, but you can't recruit the generic bosses from the type dojos?
>>59080026No new game for the anniversary took the wind out of our sails a bit, I admit. We'll just have to make our own...Anyone know how to use Blender?
>>59080026I lost interest in writing because everything I wrote was unbearable to read over again. I cringed too hard at myself.
>>59082502Embrace it.
>>59082502Not telling you to torture yourself, but avoidance is a cycle. If you like writing shying away from it is only gonna make it easier to shy away from other stuff you like in the future
Denying yourself your own interests just because of the idea that random strangers won't like you for it is a pretty shitty way to live. This sort of mindset is what creates those middle-aged people that have no hobbies, no interests, the ones that do nothing but work, sleep, and watch tv for 50+ years until death takes them. Shit, when I wrote my first story I couldn't even look at the screen for half of it since I had this feeling of "what am i doing?" but only because I was worried someone I knew would find out. Eventually they did, but it really was something I built up as being worse in my mind. They didn't even mind it at all, too.So write and draw whatever little ideas you've got. You won't start out good at doing it, but it's a good feeling to get something out there. Plus the feedback others can give is vital to improving your own work.
>>59082717So you wont make fun of my for posting my Muk PMD OC?
>>59082725If anything, unusual pokemon choices are more welcome around here. Mostly due to an overabundance of Riolus.
>>59082736Big reason I don't post is cause of how out there my choice is really, I mostly lurk here
>>59082754There's a guy who made a Trubbish character, it's not that far off.
>>59082725A wild pick like that warrants some respect. I think the only way we would make fun of you is if you pick a super common pick (Riolu, Eevee) AND give it no character flaws.
>>59082717I don’t write for the guild, but finding some writing friends has done a lot to give me some outside perspectives on my work.
Holy shit, Toge?
Somewhat new, if I was looking to read all of one clover author's stories, who would you recommend? I don't want to have to read too much. Optimally 4 or 5 high quality stories.
>>59082985Similary new to clover stories myself:Toge would be my pick, gives you a good grasp on the guild from a unique perspective (guild quartermaster), and it has story elements of its own. 7 stories and a hack is a bit over what you requested, but they aren't that long.I'd follow with Tropius and Kiyo (Three Strangers), they have a lower amount of stories, and they're certaintly quality. The only downside I'd give is that these stories give you quite a narrow perspective of the guild. Tropius' stories all take place within the span of a week or so, and Kiyo's first two take place the day they arive, with the third taking place in the past, unrelated to the guild, the lastest story breaks away from this, however. (Also Togetic's Very Special Episode is unrelated to Tropius' character, you don't need to play it, though you should).Lastly Chespin, though more extensive than what you requested, I'd also recomend.For context, the other authors I've read so far are Bill, Elm, KFC, Mustel and Phanpy. Although they aren't my first picks, I can say they're quality, and that you should eventually give them a read.
>>59080026no, and fwiw the sorts of things i work on nowadays take a very long time to finish. you just gotta trvst the plan during slow periods>>59083030based picks, absolutely no bias in my opinion on thatbut I will mention the Tropius stories don't all exist within a week of each other - the first two are close to each other as are the two after, but any other stories with him are pretty scattered timeline wise>>59082725honestly i find any pokemon OC that isn't one of the usual suspects extremely based - muk is a very based choice for an OC as a result
>>59083514>but any other stories with him are pretty scattered timeline wiseAre they? TWUT has Tropius realize that he has the type advantage due to having learned Gust while reading the mission, impliying that Occam's Razor Leaf was not too long ago. And Cocoa Cargo starts the day after the party at the end of TWUT, unless its ment to be a different one?Admittedly I haven't read any stories from the collaborative writing projects, so that's kind of on me.
>>59082865what the fuck is an egg in this context
>>59084351A bad egg, of course!If you want the full context, this was in a thread in /vp/ complaining that, while watching his favorite poketuber, the OP saw that the Lab in Pokemon Lazarus had a gay flag and a trannie flag hanged in the walls.Most people where making fun of the OP for saying they had a favorite poketuber.
>>59084351A trans person that hasn't realised they're trans yet.
>>59084474More accurately, a normal person who hasn't been groomed and corrupted by trannies yet
>>59078099we'd be a step closer to world peace if all deltarune fans were euthanized
>>59084838Oh, it gets worse.
>>59084873
>>59084623Yes.
>>59084873>snowpixvulpixfags strike again
>>59082680You're mistaken that I have a "future". I wouldn't have attempted contributing to Clover if I wasn't a systematic failure IRL.
>>59083632The type advantage line was more just to show that the story had come after Occam's Razor Leaf, and also to show to people whose introduction to clover/tropius that there's backstory to the character - that line wasn't meant to specifically date it as right after the previous story. You are correct though about Cocoa Cargo
>>59085441if anyone wants it
>>59079560How do I find more information on this whatever this is. I am intrigued
>>59069436i'm gonna be the weirdo here and say i don't associate pmd with the scarves at all and as such the idea that they're a default baffles me outside of super.that said though i prefer characters having a 'uniform' if it means like they have a main outfit for easy recognition, but i do happen to indulge in a bit of dress-up on the side when i can i like seeing clothing changes also
>>59085611https://www.pmd-archive.com/pmd-eventscampaigns.htmlThis whole website is from someone collecting all known PMD official merchandise. There's a lot of interesting stuff cataloged there, and merch I had no idea even existed.
why the fuck do these games need to have such fucking heartwrenching storiesgimme something like a mix between hades, etrian odyssey and pokopia where you go into dungeons to obtain materials and treasures to build up the game's hub and unlock new items and features to use
>>59085659Thank you anon!
>>59085799I dunno why they do, but it's my favorite part of PMD
>>59085799I'd love more little "bad guy of the week" stories or even just small little side stories as opposed to "i joined the guild now i'm married to the time gears for the next 20ish hours"
>>59085659>tfw we might never get to see more PMD merch
i miss victory fire
>>59086137>supposed to win all the time>gets crippledThis Victini is a goddamned fraud.
>>59082985I'll never miss an opportunity to recommend Growlithe's stories. They're the first ones from here I read personally, and they're what got me hooked. The prose is very high quality, some of the best here, and they deal with a lot of the aspects I personally really like about PMD stories. Definitely give the first chapter a read. That alone is already one of my favorite pieces of PMD fanfiction.
>>59085799>why the fuck do these games need to have such fucking heartwrenching storiesspike chunsoft. they're also behind games with emotional stories like 999 and VLR
>>59085441You forgot the absolute hilarity that is having an old turtle say that they are, in fact, old.
>>59085283>>59086180Think this warrants posting, then.
>>59086308>100 hitrate with all that hair covering his eyes
>>59086308Impressive! Good work, anon.
>>59069436I just feel like clothes on mine wouldn't look right. Though now that I think about it I guess I could play a bit with different headband colors or designs.
>>59086067>>59086217it's still bullshitlike, the majority of dragon quest games that spike makes are playful romps compared to pmdlike, the latter could EASILY go for a more saturday morning cartoon approach
>>59069436would like to see my guys in a variety of different outfits, but unfortunately, I don't know of any artists that would be willing to indulge that.
>>59086313Don't underestimate smells! (That axe fighter probably reaks of sweat)>>59086330Ty. The modus operandi is that is better than nothing.
>>59086347but I want heart-rending stories where the entire world wants you dead and the only one sticking up for you is that one rando you met when you first woke up, and you're set up to fight your long-lost best buddy who later saves your life again and discovers that the you they knew is dead, then you can't help but feel like absolute shit when they both give their lives for you only to never see you again
>>59086350>I don't know of any artists that would be willing to indulge that.it's hard to find any good artists who can indulge in drawing lots of different types of pokemon anyway given the types you see online.or maybe i'm just not looking hard enough but i sure haven't been able to find them in quick searches
>>59086366you smiled when your first pet got euthanized
>>59086372>t. pussy who can't enjoy tragedies
>>59086383i'd much rather prefer that characters who i'm intended to empathize with did not get hurt, yes
>>59086308Holy crap, that looks amazing.
>>59086369there must be plenty of artists who are willing to draw pokemon, right? though, I suppose style and cost might be more of a problem than subject in that case.
>>59086396>I suppose style and cost might be more of a problem than subjectbasically. too many furries and not enough folks willing to draw pokemon as opposed whatever abomination they've coughed up from some other cartoon they appropriate the pokemon into being
>>59069436I think the scarf is just uniform, so my characters def be tossing that shit around as soon as they get home. Hence why you never would see them in that when relaxing. Would you go for a stroll or a nap in a suit ?
