>>59164484>What is the worst looking official PMD sprite or portrait? Have any made you avoid using a Pokemon you normally like?Marshtomp's sprites are so short that they make me want to delay evolution in rescue team until I can jump straight to Swampert.>Has stepping on a trap ever accidently helped you in a dungeon? If never, what trap has ruined your runs the most?Pitfall traps are just stairs if you have the right atitude (and you have trap seer or google specs).>Most preferred gimmick in PMD hacks? (puzzles, gameplay style, etc.)I enjoy needing to work alongside your teamates to take down the enemies and also having access to secondary terrain traversal. The dungeons are the only gameplay aspect I really care about, so any sort of gimmicky puzzle tends to detract from the experience for me.>If the Kecleon merchants are so strong, why don't they just save the world themselves?Because then there wouldn't be heroes to sell wares to. Think of the business!
>>59164484>>What is the worst looking official PMD sprite or portrait? Have any made you avoid using a Pokemon you normally like? not so much avoid but i don't much like glameow's for some reason. feels squished>>Has stepping on a trap ever accidently helped you in a dungeon? If never, what trap has ruined your runs the most? pokemon traps sometimes help with recruiting. i don't actively seek them out so i guess it's an accident when they happen>>Most preferred gimmick in PMD hacks? (puzzles, gameplay style, etc.)i don't play many hacks so i can't answer this question >>If the Kecleon merchants are so strong, why don't they just save the world themselves?the pursuit of money doesn't usually lead to charity
>>59164484>Has stepping on a trap ever accidently helped you in a dungeon? If never, what trap has ruined your runs the most?I just did Meteor Cave in Rescue Team DX and I purposely detonated an explosive trap to get a few of the fake Deoxys out of my way without getting cucked by Pressure. The apple traps and the grudge traps are evil
>he evolves his starting duo
>>59165967I like doing it as the final thing in a playthrough as a way to cement how long the two spent together and how far they have come.
All pokemon aspire to evolve into their strongest form.
My partner and I aspire to stay in our cutest and cuddliest forms for as long as possible. Evolving into big ugly oafs would do our relationship no good.
The big brain move is to evolve only one of them.
>>59166079>entire relationship is based off looks ngmi
>>59166432I used to do this before I swapped my ideal duo over to a different pairing.
>>59166505Of course it isn't silly, his personality is obviously an exact match for mine and we love many of the same things (like our favorite spinda orders, favorite spots on the beach, favorite cuddling positions...). Perhaps if we were more adventurous, stronger forms would help with that (and help us protect each other), but we are content to live a peaceful life.
>starter duo starts fully evolved>no more concerns about losing their soul on evolution>hilarity ensues as you funny scenes like a feraligatr shitting its pants against a drowzeethe best solution?
Here's some Clover Guild lost media! A short story I wrote for Vulpix-anon based on the art he made (on the left!) when I wanted to practice combat before writing Black & White. Pretty quick and it's a bit of my older writing style but I hope the Guild will enjoy it nonetheless!>https://rentry.org/rsczt5k9

>>59167334V would love mystery dungeon. He'd play it with griffon and shadow as his starters.
If I had any major wish for a new pmd game I would want more post game dungeons with little self contained adventures like Sky Peak and Aegis Cave. Saving the world is cool and all, but I love a good treasure hunt
>>59168755This would be awesome, i can't help but think of all the cute stories we could have of treasure hunting, exploring unknown places or even visiting a legendary pokemon just to see if they are real.
>>59168755Dear god make it like Rescue team and not like Sky Peak and Aegis Cave.
>>59168881>rescue team post game>hello, please go to this dungeon because reason>get to boss room>im mad at you for some reason>joins your team for some reasonPokedex filler dungeons
>>59168893>Sky Peak>You go trough 10 beach caves as your tour guide keeps bumping into randies while you just stand there>NEW CONTENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>Aegis CaveDo I need to say anything?
>>59168912If you didn’t enjoy your mandated NPC interactions you have no soul. Yes, I want to see Heracross make a friend. Yes, I want to see Sneasel learn to accept help from others. Yes, I want to re-establish base camps in untamed territory. If you want to participate in a dungeon with no interruptions that’s fine. As for Aegis Cave, the random drops for the stones sucked but it was an ancient ruin with Regis in it and you are racing a world renowned treasure hunting team. It is cool
>>59168928Aegis Cave being conceptually cool doesn’t justify the agony it puts players through
>>59170061soul BLAST
>>59170152DX will never be soul, cope zoomer
can a rtdx boy and an eos girl really be together...
>>59166735This was neat. It's nice to see Nick and Amelia as the stars of a story, they don't seem to have much despite being Clover OGs
>>59171239>can a [...] boy and an [...] girl really be together?no. boys belong with boys and girls with girls.
>>59171280
>>59171280this, i play sky playing vulpix with my loving eevee partner. both male, of course
>>59171426>Both female exclusive options.>Bothe female when chosen as a partner.
>>59171517As far a I know, those game never used pronouns and always used the male variant of the tail markings for Eevee.
>>59171539>>59171539The Eevee gender diferent was added in Let's Go Eevee.Explorers shows the gender of your pokemon
>>59171517while this is technically and objectively true, they were MALE in my mind
>>59168755Personally I'd want more special episodes, I think PMD's writing is at its best in those since they can all be more unique since they don't focus on the blank slate protag, and they allow for more carefully structured balancing even if Chunsoft completely fucked up there with Team Charm's episode. Honestly I wouldn't mind a Dragon Quest 4 or a Livealive-style anthology game where you swap casts every chapter, though it'd probably never happen since the self-insert hero is too integral to the series at this point.
>>59171618kill yourself, homo
>>59171809>team charmI don't know what they were thinking having most of their movesets pick randomly from the levelup table. You can very realistically get a Lopunny with Baton Pass/Pound/Splash/Foresight. The fuck are you gonna do with this moveset?
>>59172385The Team Charm episode just feels the most lazy in general, by far the most forgettable one for me. I also think their theme is one of the worst songs in the game, which stands out since some of the other special episode songs are some of my favorites.
