The Explorers' Guild ☼ Mystery Dungeon Club

Those trailers look amazing. I just wish I knew japanese.
 
I never actually evolve them. It doesn't feel right somehow to, I don't know. I may plan in evolving my EoD team into Quilava and Raichu, but I dunno....
 
I'm wondering if I'm making an odd choice, but I might not give my character and partner in Gates To Infinity evolve, because I think it would be a bit out of place, so I'm glad that Everlasting Team Skill that I just got recently may come in handy. Besides, I wanted to keep my partner as Oshawott as always. :)
 
I've never actually reached the point where I have the opportunity but I don't think I'd like myself or my partner to evolve. Like DyingWillFlareon said it somehow doesn't feel right and I think you go through so much with these characters and bond with them that even though evolving them can make them stronger and is part of a Pokemon journey I'm not keen on it for myself or partner in PMD.
 
Yes, I evolved them. I didn't see much reason not to. Besides, my partner, Charmander, could learn Heat Wave once evolved into Charizard, which is one of those awesome moves that hit an entire room. I wasn't attached enough to the basic Pokémon and extra powers are always nice. Still, I have enough to think back of the later part of the game and PMD is the only reason why I like Swampert.

I see what you did there. ;)
 
Okay, I think I should go with a new topic.

Starting in Gates To Infinity, moves are having ranks which means when you use the same move over and over, your move will become stronger, more accurate and have more PPs. Plus, the move growth is shared among your team! If you have played GTI, what's your opinion on this feature? And if you haven't played GTI yet and planned to get Super Mystery Dungeon, are you looking forward to use it?
 
Ooh maaan I love that feature, but it makes it worse on me having to choose a moveset. XD
"Tepig would like to learn Flamethrower"
Me: Hmm but Ember has more attack than it so I'll keep my current moves thanks though
Flamethrower would have had more attack eventually. Yeah.
 
I've been enjoying move growth mechanic of PMD: Gates To Infinity because it makes moves stronger when I use it a lot, which is almost like leveling up each of Pokémon themselves, and I like it when my comrades who happens to use the same move will use it in its upgraded form straight away.

Btw, there has been a batch of PMD anime specials in English Pokémon YouTube channel lately (even though Japanese YouTube channel has released them months earlier), so I think I'd share these for all of you to watch. Please note that the latter 2 videos (of Gates to Infinity's) are taken from Nintendo channel instead, for reasons.

So, I'll give one question or two:

Do you have seen all of the PMD anime specials before? Which one of them is your favorite, and why?

If you have cleared PMD's storyline, your character and your partner are given a chance to be able to evolve. Did you manage to evolve your character and your partner, or not? And why?

I usually choose not to, because I think they're cuter unevolved. xD If I wanted an evolved form of a starter, I would usually just try to find one in a dungeon and recruit it from there. And if that doesn't work, then I would use Wonder Mail to get 'em. :p

While I haven't played GTI yet, I think this sounds like a very interesting feature! Sometimes I get disappointed when my favorite moves are outclassed, so it sounds really awesome to be able to keep them consistently stronger over time. :D

For some reason, I could never really get into those specials. If they made a complete series out of them rather than leaving cliffhangers all over the place, then I would probably watch the whole thing. But as it currently stands right now, the special episodes don't feel nearly as relatable as the games, and I felt the only one that had semi-decent execution was "Beyond Time and Darkness." Sadly enough, that one still left much to be desired in my opinion. :(
 
I've never actually seen the PMD anime specials so I'm definitely going to check those out!

So I have a question which given the place I'm posting this in probably know the answer but truthfully, if I have Explorers of Time, is it worth getting Explorers of Sky and/or Explorers of Darkness?
 
Why have I not seen this before? Mystery Dungeon's my favorite spin-off series in Pokemon.

Which (new or returning) features are you most excited to see in Super Mystery Dungeon?

Mega Evolutions. I can't wait to see how they're implemented.

YES, it's definitely worth getting Sky! Not so much of Darkness, though haha. Sky is basically an upgraded version of TIme/Darkness with waaaayyy more features (and side-stories), so I definitely recommend giving it a try!

Hi, welcome to the club! It's great to have another PMD fan on board! I also think Mega Evolution sounds interesting, and I wonder if we might see them as bosses :D
 
Man, can't believe I never saw this club. Best spinoff, better stories than the main series.

Answer the current topic!
Looking forward to that thing Starry posted a little way up the page, about the moves and their power/PP. I never experienced that since I couldn't stomach playing through more than the GTI demo. It never felt like a PMD game to me, but this upcoming one looks far more promising. Just a shame my country (UK) doesn't even have a release date yet. :\ Nothing annoys me more than non-simultaneous release dates (or at least have them within a week or two of each other).
 
Heyyy Thief, welcome aboard! ^^

This I've gotta agree with 100%!

Yep, I find that pretty disappointing too. I'm not even sure why it would take that long to release it in Australia and Europe when the game has already been practically translated in English. (Maybe the coding of the game might vary between regions, but I can't confirm that sadly.)

You're not alone on waiting, though! Despite the fact that I live in the U.S, I highly doubt that I'll be able to get the game on its release date. In fact, I have no clue when I'll be able to get it at all, ahaha.
 
The only reason I can get it is because my grandmother sent FORTY DOLLARS in the in bday cards earlier this month. That with the 5 bucks I had already I can afford another game on release(the other one having been ORAS) and I'm so excited. ;w;

Serperate release dates are too annoying.... They shouldnt even be allowed..... *sob*

I tried to watch them, but I haven't gotten through them all yet....

Oooh, how exciting! Me jealous. So who do you plan on picking as your starter? :O

This goes for everyone, too! In Super Mystery Dungeon, you can choose to either handpick your starter or take the personality quiz. Which method will you use, and which Pokémon do you hope to play as?
 
Well, at first I WANTED to do the personality quiz, but then I saw my Snivy figure and Fenniken pin and.... Yeah I want to play as Snivy with partner Fenniken. XD I really shouldn't have picked them already, I watched the 3ds store treehouse video playthroughs of the beginning and now know a little of the canon personalities, I've already got flipping backgrounds and character development for them this is not ok. -w-U

Oh, my. xD Luckily I'm still spoiler-free (at the moment anyway), but I think I also know exactly who I wanna pick. :p

The personality test is indeed very fun, but considering there's only one save slot, I'd rather set my priorities on beating the story with characters I can relate to... which happen to be Bulbasaur and Charmander! Those two have been my team in both the Rescue games and the Explorers games, so I want to run through another incarnation of that team just to continue their legacy. ^.^

(Now if Sewaddle was playable, I would probably reconsider... XD)
 
I'm going to do the test, but reset the game and play as Snivy anyways. XD How can I pass up the test??
