Well, as I'm the Co-Owner, I still feel like answering the question given. If I had to choose my favourite mystery dungeon game, that'd be Gates to Infinity. It's the game which really got me into the Mystery Dungeon games, and not to forget, the all mighty feature that is called 3D.
I really liked Gates to Infinity because of its design, and because of the 3D features. The pokemon I use the most is Trubbish. Yep, you read it correctly, it's Trubbish. I really dunno why I loved it so much, maybe it was because it looked so derpy. |
Hiya!
Username: Lisia Pokémon Species: Swablu Team Name: Team Blue Skies What is your favourite Mystery Dungeon game? My favorite is my first and only (so far) Mystery Dungeon game... Explorers of Sky! I love the selection of Pokemon you could have for your character and partner, the music, the cute and quirky characters, the good ol' pixel art, and all that other good stuff. I remember my first playthrough like it was yesterday... I was a Skitty and my partner was a Piplup. http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0myqi1VgT1qcfn0j.gif http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9pdbpGWWe1qid2nw.gif |
Quote:
i agree, Explorers of Sky is also my favourite Mystery Dungeon game. it had a great story, and i loved the large selection of Pokémon you could play as. it also improved on several things that Rescue Team could have maybe done better. still, i have to say that if you enjoyed Sky, i definitely recommend to give Rescue Team a try, too! what did you like most about the game? and did you ever play it again after your first playthrough? c: |
Finally! :D
I want to join this, but I cant choose a Pokemon lmao. I honestly cant. I noticed you're creating team names. Maybe we could add a new team member after 40th post or something like that? Anyway, My application: Username: Sven Team name: Guardians Pokemon species: I have no freakin idea! Poochyena? Eevee? Gastly...I dont know...I'll pick later. My favorite game...Honestly...I am not sure. One thing I loved more about Red rescue team is a story. It was more emotional and made a bit more sense. But Wigglytuff's base is such a perfect place. It has everything one could want. And the story was just a bit under the Red rescue team's. I'll go with Pokemon Explorers of Darkness for now. I am going to start a new EO Sky run and it'll probably become my favorite then. Till then, it's Darkness. I could write a book why those games were perfect so I'll leave it at this. :D |

Finally its about time!
Username:Dedenne Pokemon Species: Emolga Team Name: Thunder Skies (thunder wind sounds bad haha) Fav Game: the first i played won me over Gates of infinity kinda bored me and idk red and blues storyline never made me crazy Explorers of time will always do it for me there was so many side stories and such and a lot of not so side stories that tied in to a big big picture which i loved also love primal dialga hehe! |
Quote:

Quote:
i gave you Poochyena for now, but i can change it any time if you want to change, ok? of course it'll keep the same level. c: that goes for everyone, by the way! so, welcome, Sven and Dedenne! (i'm surprised you didn't pick Dedenne, haha). i've noticed you both mention the story as your main reason for picking your favourites. i definitely think the storyline is one of the things that make the Mystery Dungeon series so great. still it's funny that you picked different games based on the same criterium! what was the most memorable part of the story for you? put it in spoiler tags just to be sure (。 >艸<) |
Oooh, mystery dungeon club! Also mimi why did you steal my DofE team name I'm going to kill you
Username: Foxrally Pokémon Species: Zorua Team Name: Rekkage Team of MLG My favorite game is definitely explorers of Sky. I haven't completed it yet due to my game card becoming corrupted (still have the save file somehwhere though), but the game was real feels trip for me. I named and chose my partner after my brother, and had him do the test. He ended up with Panphy (which is a really good partner BTW) and I ended up with Chimchar :D |
Quote:
God I love dong this to my brother. It's like he's worth nothing. That's better! Accepted! Welcome. That's it, you don't get an extra welcome. |
Quote:
I didnt like one particular part in EO Darkness that made me prefer the older versions. Main character knew all along he was going to disappear and he said nothing about it. Then in the middle of that bridge he started to vanish and the other guy panicked for maybe 10 seconds and few moments later if was all "Oh I guess thats how it should be". Kinda unrealistic, at least compared to the first story. That particular part kinda bugged me and gave it the second place, story-wise. |
Quote:
Secondly i think its a good idea to allow an extra member to join your team but id only keep it up to 2 and idk howd they reach it haha. But anyways thanks again and Thats always a surprise that i dont pick dedenne haha. But i love Emolga! Its in my favs and such Dedenne is also stuck in my username forever haha Anyways spoilers..... Spoiler:

*gasp* Did someone say Mystery Dungeon?! I'm in! (It's my absolute favorite thing about the entire Pokémon franchise, okay?)
Username: Revise Librarian Pokémon Species: Bulbasaur (I was this close to picking Sewaddle) Team Name: Team Xros Heart What is your favourite Mystery Dungeon game? That would definitely have to be Explorers of Sky. Not only did it have a massive amount of (engaging) content, but the plot writing was absolutely beautiful. I've already played through it about three times, and the game just never gets old. (I also love the wide variety of starters you can choose from as well!) Aaand, despite loving the Explorers titles so much, I also adore Red Rescue Team with a passion. While it didn't have as much to offer as its successor, it still possessed the same engaging gameplay, and it'll always have a special place in my heart. Unfortunately, I have yet to play Gates to Infinity, but I'll try to fix that eventually! (I would also like to point out that my avatar is from Red & Blue Rescue Team, haha.) |
Quote:
i'm also going to add the second-team member rule to the main post, now that i've had a little time to think about it, haha. thanks again for the suggestion! Quote:
Spoiler:
Quote:
also everyone, don't hesitate to reply to each other's posts either, ok? if anything catches your eye, don't be shy! c: |
Quote:
Hmm... tough one. I'm not exactly sure if this counts as an actual "feature," but I definitely like the gameplay mechanics above the rest! As for features exclusive to the Explorers titles, I really like how you can recruit any Pokémon right off the bat without Friend Areas. Oh, and I can't forget the super giant Treasure Bags later in the game! (Gotta love those, haha.) |
Quote:
I think that the main factor about the Darkness/Time/Sky is, the bonds you make, and about that Guild. I still remember walking around that Guild, reading diaries, having that freaking awesome dinners. All the characters were all soooo amazingly built in details. The family surroundings really made the game awesome. The only reason why I stopped playing Darkness cos I finally got Sky and want it to be as fresh as possible. But once Im finish it...I'll keep going back to it and I'll basically never "finish" it! On the other hand, I dont "finish" any Pokemon game, I love going back to all of them. |

I only played two Mystery dungeon games too, so I don't really understand all of what they're saying. You can start posting from now, even if your name isn't on the main thread. Anyways, welcome! |
Quote:
One thing I loved was the questionnaire at the beginning, that was a stroke of genius in my honest opinion. |
so many posts since last night! i'm glad there's so much talking already (。 >艸<)
also welcome to RedWolf98! i didn't have the time to make a post earlier but i added you to the first post at least. Gastly is a nice choice! c: and don't worry too much about having only played Rescue Team - we'll take care not to spoil anything. i actually haven't played any of the extra episodes in Explorers of Sky! but i should really get to that, from the looks of what everyone said! (ノ>▽<。)ノ i did like the story for Rescue Team though, even though it was less elaborate than it maybe could have been. and the personality test at the beginning of the game, combined with the wide selection of Pokémon to choose from afterwards was great! did Gates to Infinity actually still have that? does anyone who played it know? ( ´ ▽ ` )ゞ since i think you can only play 5 Pokémon in that game... sadly. |
Quote:
|
As much as I loved the personality test, I always found myself soft-resetting just to get Bulbasaur. xD It's pretty hard though, because not all of the questions will yield points for the nature you're looking for, even if you know exactly which answers to go with.
|
Whaaaat there's a club for this now???
Username: DyingWillFlareon Pokemon: Eevee Team Name: Team Vongola Current Topic: I'd say Explorers of Darkness, much fun, wow sad. Yeah GtI had no test, which kinda sucked, but I got to pick Tepig with no problems. :0 Recently I started up EoS and kept resetting to get Pikachu so I could use Pikachu and Bulbasaur, I don't even especially like those two haha. |
Quote:
Is that an unpopular opinion for you? I mean, how the hell wouldn't you like the 3D, it was just so amusing! I picked Snivy, and boy I liked. The only downfall to it, is that there was no mind test. |
Quote:
I don't like how gates to infinity allowed you to pick - the test was a lot more fun :D |
Quote:
I honestly find it hard to imagine Bulbasaur as the partner, seeing how Bulbasaur is generally an introverted Pokémon (like the player), while the partner on the other hand is beyond extroverted. xD |
I liked the personality test. I always gave me the Pokemon and Nature I agreed with. Still, I'd reset it for as long as needed until I get the one I wanted to play with.
|
What I did was play the game the first time with the Pokemon that was selected for me (Torchick and partner was Pikachu of course) Then I tried my hardest to get Cubone but kept ending up with Pikachu so I stuck with Pikachu. That was how I came to beat Zapdos with nothing but a Pikachu and Bulbasaur. It sucked XD
|
The question is what did everyone get when they took the personality test as your partner? And how many people rigged the personality test or tried to take it multiple times to get the pokemon you wanted?
|
WELLLL
1 The first time I took it in Darkness I got Piplup and randomly chose Chikorita. Other than Dragon types, we had most types covered in our movesets, so that was great. Mostly I play with the character I get unless I've used it before. 2 I have already admitted to this. XD Sometimes I just want a specific character. :P Also Pikachu and Bulbasaur are in Team Titans. Because I was listening to Teen Ttitans stuff at the time. XD |
I think I got Pikachu many times, but I wanted him as a partner so I kept resetting and googled for what I should asnwer to get the one I want.
|
I got Chimchar :D He's not my favorite starter but I did the test 3-5 times and always ended up with him, so I eventually shrugged and went along with it.
|
I never really paid attention to the ones I got unless they were Bulbasaur, haha. I usually just take the test multiple times with a guide in front of me. xD
|
Yay im not the only one!
For me i tried like 11 times to get a chimchar just because him and Turtwig are the top rated ones is something but i just love chimchar the best and Turtwig is great support too. I actually thought about it yesterday and began playing explorers of time again! I forgot how fun this game is but ive found that the meanest word the pokemon use in the game is "those mean stinkers!" ~your partner Haha i wish they had just a little less censoring :p |
haha! yeah, i'm the same way with regards to soft resetting the test over and over... though it never took me too many tries to be honest c:
i always went with Eevee in Rescue Team, and Vulpix in Explorers... and i think i'd go with Snivy in Gates to Infinity. most of you have already mentioned which Pokémon they go with as player character, but let's just make this a proper topic and include some more. Do you always choose the same Pokémon as Main and Partner? Which Pokémon are they, and why? Does it differ between games? as for me, like i said: Eevee, Vulpix and Snivy as mains. and then, for partners... in Rescue Team, i always chose Charmander. in Explorers i've had several. the first time i chose Treecko.. so then i was really confused to find out Grovyle was actually in the story - for the longest time i thought they were secretly brothers or something (ノ>▽<。)ノ |
Do you always choose the same Pokémon as Main and Partner? Which Pokémon are they, and why? Does it differ between games?
Yes! I absolutely always choose Bulbasaur as my player, with Charmander being my partner. Their absence in Gates to Infinity is quite depressing, which is one of the few reasons I haven't played it yet. If I had a choice between the GTI starters, I would probably play as Tepig and choose Snivy as my partner. |
The Mystery Dungeon series is a great series, a bit of a crossover between two awesome things: Pokémon and Dungeons and Dragons.
Username: H.A.N. Pokémon: http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/258.png Team Name: Team Without a Decent Name and an Even Worse Abbreviation (TWDNEWA for short), because I currently lack inspiration and it is a little similar to my Red Rescue Team team name, which I believe was Team Nameless. A topic: Do you always choose the same Pokémon as Main and Partner? Which Pokémon are they, and why? Does it differ between games? I have only played one Mystery Dungeon game: Red Rescue Team. This makes it quite trivial I always picked the same Pokémon. The test claimed me to be a Mudkip, which I accepted as my main Pokémon. I hadn't used Mudkip's evolutionairy family at the time and this seemed a good chance. As partner I wanted a Pokémon of one of the other two starter types, grass or fire. I picked Charmander in this place. |
welcome, H.A.N.! haha, i think your team name works great c: i just put the abbreviation in the main post for shortness' sake, but i think this way it'll leave everyone wondering what it stands for (。 >艸<)
i just noticed that all three of us picked Charmander as a partner. is he just that popular or is this a massive coincidence? (ノ>▽<。)ノ i trust he served you as well as he did me. does anyone else have any other partner or main characters not listed? did you ever want to go for a gender-exclusive Pokémon but couldn't? c: |
Quote:
|
The first time I ran through RRT I was Mudkip and my partner Pikachu. Then I did it like the Manga of RRT and did Torchik and Mudkip as my partner and then I did Pikachu and Bulbasaur lastly. I can admit I fudged the test a couple times, but I've never tried Charmander as a partner.

so, after the Easter hiatus it's reeeeally time for a new topic i'd say: What is your favourite Dungeon in all of the games, and why? |

What is your favourite Dungeon in all of the games, and why?
Hmm, that one's a real toughie. I can only give a rough answer until I look through all of the dungeons again, but for now I'd probably say the Temporal Tower. Due to the events that lead up to the dungeon, I usually feel a huge emotional drive to brave through it with everything I've got. Not to mention, the music feels so climatic that it gives the dungeon a more "urgent" atmosphere, which both complements its placement in the story and separates it from any other dungeon that you'd normally complete for the heck of it. As for its difficulty, I'd say it was perfectly reasonable – not too easy, but not ridiculously difficult either. |
Quote:
if you were to play through Explorers of Sky (taking that example because of its larger initial selection), which Pokémon do you think you would you choose as starter and partner? c: Quote:
Spoiler:
as for me... because i'm playing Rescue Team again at the moment, i think i'll take my favourite from that game. the first one that came to mind for me (after reading yours probably, haha) is Sky Tower, since like Temporal Tower, it's kinda the climax of the game. the music i like a lot too, though it's not quite as 'epic' as Temporal Tower's. i especially like how in the beginning you can hear that bit in the background that sounds like a choir? i'm not sure that it is really, but it always reminds me of Golden Sun when i hear it, haha! Spoiler:
secondly, i'll mention Lapis Cave. i don't know, but i like that one a lot. it is the first dungeon you get to after the story really gets going, and you have to flee from your former home with your partner. the music in Lapis Cave really suits it, with the high 'plinks' of the shimmering cave, but as times passes the music gets more and more scary and urgent as enemy Pokémon wait around every corner. luckily the dungeon itself is relatively easy to get through though, as it has few corridors and generally large rooms. c: Spoiler:
for all those who haven't answered the topic yet, i'd really like to hear about your favourite dungeons! you don't have to go through all dungeons to give an answer - just what was most memorable to you is perfectly fine ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ |
Quote:
What is your favorite Dungeon in all of the games, and why? I think I choose the Western Cave from Rescue Team. It is a large dungeon with a good amount of obtainable experience on the higher floors and there appear some Kecleon Shops to rob every time. By the way, your YouTube videos don't show up sadly. EDIT: They're fine now. Hearing those musics brings me completely back into the game, especially the one from the Lapis Cave. I can suddenly see the dungeons and Pokémon appear and move around in my mind just as clearly as when I'm actually playing the game. It's just scary. |
Quote:
ah, i like it! Shinx and Chikorita or Turtwig. it's really nice to use Pokémon you haven't before and kind of get to know them, no? you have some serious guts for robbing Kecleon Shops, though! aren't Kecleon insanely powerful? but i suppose to get to Western Cave you'd already have a very high level already, eh? if you can see the Pokémon walking around when listening to the music, you must really be a great Mystery Dungeon fan c: great to have you on board of the club! |
Quote:
And since we happen to be talking about the music as well, I always found Craggy Coast's theme to be sooo catchy, haha. I also liked Blizzard Island's theme simply because it's a medley of the Rescue Team dungeons, which was quite nostalgic in a nice way (especially the Sky Tower part of the medley). =D Here's the music, if anyone is interested: Spoiler: Craggy Coast's Theme

Oh, and yes... Kecleon IS insanely powerful. O_O |

The highest level I ever got to was a level 80 something Piplup and Chikorita, but my sister had a level 100 Totodile....
But I used to rob Keckleon stores all the time. XD I'd go to Mystifying Forest and take my partner,at least two pure seeds, maybe some reviver seeds, and just go for it. Even though I rarely actually evolve the pokemkn it always felt great to get a sun stone or something haha. The fun y thing is that even if you steal an item from them, you can still sell it to them back in Treasure Town as if you found it fairly. XD As for favorite dungeon, I'm not sure. But I can say I hate the dungeons that had no walls so Ghost types would come in. Like Azurill's Nightmare or some of the future ones in PMD2. |
Quote:
Revise is definitely a great member as well, but like mimi said, it takes devotion to get your Pokémon to level 100 too! i haven't ever managed that. not even in a main series game... hehe ( ´ ▽ ` )ゞ Quote:
level 80 is still an impressive feat! i have to wonder though - why didn't you evolve your Pokémon at such high levels? surely you played out the main story by then. seeing as how you (and HAN) are also Kecleon Shop Robbers... perhaps you should be known as high-rank outlaws rather than rescuers hm?! i recognize your annoyance with the Ghost Types though... how they can move through walls is one thing, but then they can attack you from inside the wall and you can't do anything to return fire! especially on escort missions when ghosts would sneak up on your client. ARGH finally; since we're listening to music and all, i'd like to point you towards my latest discovery (that everyone else probably already knew, lol): Glitch City's PMD Remixes! ah, particularly this one i thought was amazingggggg. but also for example the Temporal Tower Remix was great c: Spoiler:
|
Quote:
Spoiler:
Or when you have no more Reviver Seeds and your partner keeps trying to attack a Ghost who's in the wall. And you have to say 'Woah Chikorita, I'm changing your tactic to Run Away, and taking away all your moves, you need to stop that.' That music is so pretty!~ I like the part where it plays music |
Quote:
EDIT: I looked it up. Having a Pokémon of at least level 90 holding a Friend Bow, will give a chance of 0.1% of recruiting a Kecleon (or 1.1% if your Pokémon has the skill Fast Friend). Quote:
|
THIS IS A THING??!!! *Happy dance*
Lol anyway Username: Draskk Pokemon: Totodile Team name: JAWSOME On the topic of roobbing kecleon...... Always love doing that. Which reminds me when I was playing explorers of time I accidentally robbed them and being the kid that I was threw the stolen stun seed at him and was confused why he was still chasing me as I had returned the stolen item |
Quote:
Why shouldn't this be a thing? Mystery Dungeon might be a spin-off series, but because it shows a completely different gameplay, there's plenty of stuff to talk about. You picked Totodile as your Pokémon. Did you play as Totodile in the games too? I remember having a Feraligatr on my team myself sometimes, I used a lot in water dungeons. |
HAN you're really after evolving that Mudkip arent you lol
The most annoying Pokemon had to be Drufblim. How is that guy able to fight from across the room and how can Ominous Wind be so strong is beyond me but I remember how just seeing him made me want to soft reset the game. |

ugh, the everyone-agility issue is a serious one though. i didn't know about the one-room floors in Mystery Dungeon, but i've had the same issue with Monster Houses in regular dungeons more than once. especially when several Pokémon are able to use Agility, and at some point the entire room is at quadruple speed... but of course i'm still too stubborn to use an Escape Orb at those times.

thanks much for another great music admission c: i love these remixes so much now! i don't know, especially for studying (i had an exam this morning) i really like listening to instrumental tracks. these are perfect because they also have something to get you fired up - and of course nostalgia bits, haha. also, just a bit of shameless advertising: i created a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Roleplay in the Roleplay Corner of this site! i've seen some of your around there, so if any of you is interested in participating, be sure to check it out here c: |

Who is your favourite Villain in the Mystery Dungeon series? be careful to use spoiler tags for this question, since not everyone has played all games, and it'd be a shame to miss out on the plot twists... it doesn't just have to be your favourite though. who was the most evil, most cunning, or even most clumsy villain? discuss! |

Pokémon Species: Scraggy Team Name: Team Pendrake What is your favourite Mystery Dungeon game? Red Rescue Team! It was my ever Pokemon game! I bought it after getting my GBA :) |
Ohh! I love the PMD games! Count me in!! :3
Username: Wandering~Leaf Pokémon Species: Riolu Team Name: Team Mythic I've played Pokémon Blue Rescue Team and Pokémon Explorers of Sky, Sky being my favorite installation. :333 Riolu was my favorite starter Pokémon, and Munchlax was my partner. God I loved the ost and storyline, along with the nearly endless post-story content. I must have played that game for hundreds of hours, and started it over a lot, the PMD games were what introduced me to the Pokémon games, so I have a lot of sentimentality attached to them, haha. |
Quote:
Quote:
it seems most people have at least played one of the Rescue Team games c: which is good, cause i think they're still the best first encounter with the PMD games. allows you to enjoy the improvements made in Explorers to the max (。 >艸<)! i'm not sure i understood you correctly, but it sounds like these games were also the first games that you played in the entire Pokémon franchise as well, correct? that's really amazing, i think! how did you feel about the main series games after being introduced to such different gameplay at first? and do you like the PMD or main series games more now? just curious, hehe. |
Quote:
At first, I didn't understand the mechanics of PMD but overtime, I enjoyed it. as for the transition from PMD to the main games, it was easy because they both have elements that were similar. Thanks for having me :) |
Quote:
And yes! The PMD games were what introduced me to the Pokémon franchise (albeit, I did have some cards). After playing the Rescue Team games, I quickly bought a copy of Pokémon Diamond and started watching the show, lol. Playing the main series after getting used to the PMD style and mechanics wasn't all that disorienting, actually. I caught on quickly, and the PMD games probably made me more prepared for the moves, strengths of different Pokémon, etc. I think that both series have their different charms and appeals, so I can't really compare them! I'd definitely say that I love them both though, albeit for different reasons. |
Oh, I absolutely have to join this one. *_*

I guess I'd go with the Marine Resort, because it's a beach and it has cool Pokémon. From the main plot it's probably Crystal Crossing, that one looked pretty cool and the music was nice. Do you always choose the same Pokémon as Main and Partner? Which Pokémon are they, and why? Does it differ between games? No, I rarely use the same Pokémon in any of the games. The first one I "chose" was Turtwig with Totodile, then came Chikorita and Charmander, Treecko and Piplup and at last Eevee and Shinx. Yeah, many grass types, but I love this type and these were all just the results of the questions. Except for Treecko, that one was deliberate, because I thought it'd fit the story, considering the whole business with Grovyle. But it is funny, since the game gave me two of my favorite Pokémon (Chikorita and Eevee) this way. The one I liked most was the combination of Eevee "the Beast" and Shinx, though. What is your favourite Mystery Dungeon game? I've played Explorers of Time, Blue Rescue Team and Explorers of Sky in that order. My favorite was Sky, hands down. The story was already gripping in Time, but the bonus episodes were just the cherry on top. I absolutely love it and it's also my favorite Pokémon game in general. |
Oh!! A Pokémon Mysery Dungeon Club!!
I would surely join! Username: Dots Pokémon Species: Shaymin Team Name: Team Verdant What is your favourite Dungeon in the games? Well, in the special episodes it will probably Spring Cave. In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon - Red/Blue Rescue Team, it's Mt. Freeze. Spring Cave because that's the Dungeon Sunflora explored to apprehend those three, villainous Haunters. Mt. Freeze because I love its music because it's so cool and that's where I got to meet Articuno, and Articuno is special to me! |
Welcome to the club Dots! Since we really havent had a topic in a while to discuss i have a question for everyone since atm im playing explorers of time and id like to know what other peoples opinions are;
In the Mystery Dungeon games a new aspect was created of linking moves that you may have learned about farther in the the storyline. Did you ever link moves? If so did you like it and do it regularly with your partner pokemon and such? If not why? I personally did it once and never did it again idk why just i guess the aspect confused me at first and once i played a game without it i never felt a need to do it again. Thoughts on this? |
I completely forgot about that. That was seriously one AWESOME feature. Realistic and useful. I linked Fire attacks of my Charmander.

Yes... I do link moves. (Ehehe... talking like a regular person when being interviewed...) In Sky, I, as a Riolu, linked Foresight and Force Palm. Well, since Fighting-types won't work on Ghost-types, I use Foresight. This also helped me to beat Darkrai since he has Double Team... it was annoying that my attacks kept missing...! As for my partner, a Chickorita, I linked her Sweet Scent and Razor Leaf. (Well, Razor Leaf DOES have a miss chance) So that way, using Sweet Scent, the foes can be easily hit. |

I linked moves all the time. the problem, though, was that it drained a lot of my hunger in explorers of time, and I'd always die if not for the hunger-suppressing scarf. |
i'm so sorry for neglecting this club the past week! but a big thanks to Dedenne for coming up with such a great new topic c:
also, a very warm welcome to Tora and IamDots! it's funny to read that you picked Treecko since it'd tie in with the story nicely. i picked Treecko as my partner on my first playthrough, completely oblivious to the story, so i spent all of my time convinced they were secretly brothers or something (ノ>▽<。)ノ to IamDots... i'm afraid i cannot allow you to choose Shaymin as your representative Pokémon - it cannot be a legendary. i'd love for you to choose another, though! finally, i'll answer this topic as well! In the Mystery Dungeon games a new aspect was created of linking moves that you may have learned about farther in the the storyline. Did you ever link moves? If so did you like it and do it regularly with your partner pokemon and such? If not why? to be honest, i don't link moves very much. i'd only ever link a damage dealing move to a non-damage dealing move, since else i probably wouldn't ever use the non-damaging move. but i'd never link more than two moves together, not even for a boss fight as i've heard many do. this is mainly because i always have my team members be Exclusive Move Users (IQ skill), to make sure i always get the double experience from beating enemy Pokémon. a drawback however is that i tend to run out of PP very fast - and of course even more so when your moves are linked! so, that's why i don't link much, hehe. still - i think the concept of linking moves in itself is great, and allows me to use moves that i would otherwise skip, like stat-boosting moves. you also mentioned a bunch of great examples, specifically the Foresight and Force Palm combination. that's so smart!

It was certainly an interesting feature, but I rarely made use of it, as it drained twice the PP. I used it sometimes before facing a hard boss battle, because attacking thrice in one turn is extremely overpowered, but I delinked them afterwards, as it wasn't really necessary on regular floors. |

Tried it, so yup :) If so did you like it and do it regularly with your partner pokemon and such? If not why? I didn't it was too much PP consuming, it wasn't necessary when your on easy dungeons because the first move usually kills the 'mons |

Username: Splash Pokémon Species: Magikarp Team Name: Team Splash What is your favourite Dungeon in the games? Sky Tower -> It was definitely memorable since me and my team struggled to get to the top after I accidentally left all my goods in the storage and forgot that I left them when I was midway through the tower haha Do you always choose the same Pokémon as Main and Partner? Which Pokémon are they, and why? Does it differ between games? No I usually don't I often just answer the questions honestly and hope that it gives me a great pokemon. I usually get Torchic or Charmander while I usually pick Pikachu it always depends on what type I'm using and how cute they look.. What is your favourite Mystery Dungeon game? Mystery Red and Explorers of Sky are my favorite and also the only games I played legally xD |
Ohh... OK!
That's fine... well I guess I'll be Zigzagoon then!~ (Well I did dream about being a Zigzagoon back then a year ago...) |

Occasionally, yes. Usually with moves like Leer/Scratch. My most recent team CyndaquilxPikachu do not have any moves I'd consider linkable, so they haven't gotten that privledge. XD |

that goes for anyone by the way, if you'd prefer a shiny. IamDots, your change to Zigzagoon is noted, i'll add you right away! great choice too, Zigzagoon is one of my favourite Pokémon (。 >艸<) it's funny to see that some of us have really gone wild with the link feature, to the point of them dying of hunger, while others haven't used it much at all because of its usurping of PP. i wonder if it's really due to different playstyles? c: also since we're talking about linking moves, what are some moves that you found most useful in the Mystery Dungeon games? maybe a move that had a surprisingly different effect than what you were used to in the main series games, for example? |

It makes the whole exploring part a bit easy in my case. And it makes you conscious of what moves you use because it might break. It makes the whole PMD Series unique imo |

I liked long range move it felt fun using moves like flamethrower and beating enemies off screen. I felt like I was a sniper or something haha |

Sometimes I linked things like Leer + Scratch, if they had around the same amount of PP (or the status move had more), yes, but no two attacking moves and it didn't happen very often. In my first plays I totally forgot about that. I didn't even know until now that your hunger could decrease from using this feature. What are some moves that you found most useful in the Mystery Dungeon games? maybe a move that had a surprisingly different effect than what you were used to in the main series games, for example? Oh, yes. Waay too many. Bullet Seed would be the first that comes to mind. It was so overpowered, being able to kill more than one opponent if they were all standing in a row. In my first play through, when I didn't have a move that hit the whole room it was my best attack. Absorb/Mega Drain are also worth mentioning. If you were low on health, just absorb whatever was in front of you, get the Overgrow-boost and bring yourself to full health while defeating the enemy in front of you, even if it resisted you. I rarely used Giga Drain, because that one had not enough PP. Then of course Silver Wind, Ominous Wind, Earth Power, Discharge and so on, even though they were even more annoying if an enemy used them. Beat Up was nice, I had that on my Houndoom and activated it whenever the whole party was scattered all over the floor after a trap or similar nonsense, so they'd be teleported to wherever Houndoom was. Especially helpful if I had a weak client wandering around on its own. And some boosting moves I never use in the main series, but quite liked in Mystery Dungeon are Agility (for obvious reasons) and Helping Hand. I kept that one on my Eevee for quite a while, just to boost my whole team's attack stats for a boss fight. I also kept Tackle on Eevee as its main attacking move, because it had a huge amount of PP and was ridiculously strong due to STAB and Adaptability. |
I have a question... to all of you, my fellow guildmates...
If you were directly in a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game, will you talk to someone? If you do, who will you talk to and what will you say? (Any game would be nice!) |
wow, i didn't even know about some of these. Baton Pass and Beat Up for example, i've never gotten to use, but they seem really useful indeed!
similar to Tora, i also kept Tackle and Helping Hand on my Eevee for a very long time, since they were quite powerful c: i also liked Quick Attack since it allowed you to cut corners and attack from one square further, hehe. and i totally get feeling like a sniper if you kill an enemy that was still off-screen too! (。 >艸<) Quote:
i'd also like to meet Chatot, for some advice on how to run my own guild (RP) better (。 >艸<) |
Hi there! I'm so sorry I haven't been posting here in the longest time hahaha, but hopefully that's about to change! (I haven't been able to do much on PC lately, but that problem will be fixed once I get over a few obstacles. =D)
Anyway, I know there are three topics floating around at the moment, but I'll answer one and get back to the rest later on. In the Mystery Dungeon games, a new aspect was created of linking moves that you may have learned about farther in the the storyline. Did you ever link moves? If so, did you like it and do it regularly with your partner Pokémon and such? If not why? Heck, yeah! I absolutely abused that system to no end, haha. Even though it came with a huge drawback in that we'd waste PP if we only wanted to use one of those moves, I felt that linking moves was a vital part in fighting large numbers of Pokémon with a small team. The ability to attack twice in one turn is game changing, and it has incredible use when dealing with Monster Houses. Sometimes I would link stuff like Leech Seed and Toxic together, while other times I would combine a status move with an attacking move or even two attacking moves if I was going for an aggressive strategy. It's never a bad idea to keep a Link Box handy so that you could unlink moves and then re-link two different moves to help flow with the current situation. |

As for the question: If you were directly in a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game, will you talk to someone? If you do, who will you talk to and what will you say? I'd want to talk to Grovyle and Celebi and ask them for details about living in the future for a fanfiction. Also, if I had the opportunity to meet Spinda, I'd take it. I mean, come on. He seems pretty fun. |

like Tora, i'm quite surprised at the combo of Toxic and Leech Seed. but i suppose it's a way to passively defeat enemies? i'd also really like to hear what kind of enemies you'd use it for (。 >艸<) haha, i never used Link Boxes much either c: but i'm glad to hear that some people made good use of the linking system and accompanying features!
