>>58449870 (OP)
>If new special episodes were to get added to a remake of explorers, who would you want them to focus on?
Darkrai's early movements getting fleshed out would be nice, especially if it somehow involves that volcano-bound time gear we never see, and I bet you could tell a funny story about all the random NPC teams getting absolutely sloshed at Spinda's

>What pokemon would have the easiest time stealing from a Kecleon?
Another Kecleon of course, who would ever suspect? That'd be one incentive to actually recruit one

>Do you think Pokémon would look down on others using certain moves such as attract?
I want to say not as long as it's only used on an enemy inside a mystery dungeon for the sake of self-defense, but there are weirdos who'll get on your case for using ice-type moves so there'll all kinds out there

>Can a consumable item be shared by multiple Pokémon for lesser effect, i.e. cutting an oran berry in half to heal 2 mons, or do you need to use the whole thing to get any effect?
It depends on the item, sharing an HP or PP heal might work out but you'd want to wipe out poison fully and you're not getting that without a full flush of your system using every last drop of juice in that Pecha

I went ahead and got Rescue DX
I will probably finally try Explorers when they get a DX release

Last thread reminded me of this

>>58449870 (OP)
>>If new special episodes were to get added to a remake of explorers, who would you want them to focus on?
darkrai but humourously, i'd kinda like to see a croagunk thing
>>What pokemon would have the easiest time stealing from a Kecleon?
a ghost
>>Do you think Pokémon would look down on others using certain moves such as attract?
people get pedantic about anything. probably
>>Can a consumable item be shared by multiple Pokémon for lesser effect, i.e. cutting an oran berry in half to heal 2 mons, or do you need to use the whole thing to get any effect?
it'll probably split the benefits depending on how much it is. like a tiny reviver in super only revives half of a regular reviver, so i think splitting berries or some such would work similarly

LICK MOTHERFUCKER
KECLEON WILL SLURP THAT GHOST TO DEATH

>>58449253
What fucking stakes? "Will my character get their neck snapped by Alakazam on-screen in this game for kids aged 7 and up?" You can have stakes about the fate of the world and how that one will shake up without making all major characters drooling morons.
The only evidence that a cursed human has anything to do with the natural disasters is an ancient legend, and the only evidence that the MC is the human in question comes from Gengar accusing you with absolutely no proof, and the main character not denying it sufficiently vehemently. I don't remember what exactly Xatu said, but he didn't offer anything conclusive either. And it's not like townies hear from Xatu, they hear from Gengar saying that's what Xatu said. Again, I can buy Gengar riling a crowd, I can not buy multiple rescue teams giving it no further thought and chasing you for multiple days.
You can't just decide something must have happened when the game never mentions it or suggests it in any way. Also, what time skip? You're on a run and being chased for the entire arc. Alakazam couldn't have time to investigate anything because he was chasing you.
Even Gengar's actions make no fucking sense. You learn that there's another human beside you, possibly the only being in the world that you could relate to, and your first instinct is to use that information to try to get them murdered? WHY? There's a big gap between being a dickhead and trying to get you killed. And the game never even directly acknowledges the fact that Gengar KNEW you're not the cursed human, so he wasn't just making shit up, he was lying about it, to try to kill you.

>>58451561
Fuck me, forgot to put spoilers.
I like a lot of things about RT, it has nice emotional moments, Gengar's arc is basic but it's also pretty good, but the main plot is definitely not one of these things. Characters make idiotic decisions with no suggestion from the story that they should be that dumb, fugitive arc is resolved through a random coincidence, and the story ending comes out of nowhere and isn't build up based on anything that happens before it.

>>58451322
Has there ever been a non player/partner team member in any of the pmd games that wasn't a total fucking jobber?
Even wigglytuff from EoS, you were just told he was a demi-god. The most impressive thing he ever did on screen outside of the special ep was roll over team skull.

>>58451561
>You can have stakes about the fate of the world and how that one will shake up without making all major characters drooling morons

They are not morons. The world's fucking ending, and a human suddenly appears as the ninetales legend foretold. Killing that human is pretty fuckin' reasonable given the circumstances. Rescue teams are just as stressed about the situation, they're not above the rest of the common pokemon. The protag refusing to fight the allegations only confirms it in their eyes.

And Alakazam really isn't hunting you down because he wants to. As a rescue team leader, he has to. Everyone expects him to do it, and it's not entirely unreasonable. He gives you a chance out of faith that you'll prove him and the rest of the world wrong.

There's a time skip when the game's describing the journey you go on. Did you forget that part of the game? You don't appear in front of Lapis Cave the next day, there's a journey there.

And Gengar's a fuckin' prick. He establishes pretty early on that his team's after power. Being a rescue team in a time where the world is depending on rescue teams, is not a bad way to do it. Your team is growing very popular, and he needs to get ahead of you. If he can't beat you himself, why not trick others into doing that for him?

I have no clue why this shit flies over your head. They wrote it for kids, how is it this difficult for you?

>>58452029
I dislike a lot of things about EoS, but they definitely didn't hype up Wigglytuff that much. He's just a skilled explorer. He discovered and explored Waterfall Cave, he handled Brine Cave with Chatot. He established a guild and trained people. He climbed the ranks naturally and earned a good reputation. It's nothing too crazy

And please don't brush aside the special episode. That is his backstory and a pretty major part of his character

>>58452264
lmao fag

>>58444258
>The entire town decides that you and your partner need to die for a stupid reason 5000 IQ Alakazam also decides that you need to die
The reason comes from a legend known and recited by an "elder" of the town. It is approached with scepticism at first, but once the pieces begin to come together, it starts to point towards the protag. The legend does not exactly state that "the human" is the cause of calamities, but it was easy to manipulate by adding a few words here and there, which is exactly what Gengar did to spin the narrative against you. It is a primitive setting where superstitions and prejudices would be the norm when supernatural entities and events are commonplace. People in real life were burned at stakes for much less. It is not a stupid or flimsy reason. The risk is too high to be meticulous about whether to kill one person or not.
>And THEN he chases you to the other side of the continent, all without losing your track somehow
Premodern trackers could develop significant skills that an average joe would see as sorcery. It is not unbelievable that ACT could track two kids.
>By PURE FUCKING HAPPENSTANCE, just as he catches up to you, you run into the only pokemon in existence that could prove your innocence
Not happenstance. Gardevoir basically tells you to go to Mt. Freeze to see Ninetales while he's in Frosty Forest. The protag was being guided. You could say they were "lucky" to be on the right track from the start, but from the developer's perspective, it would be just a few more "white text over black background" intermissions to make it seem more adventurous than it is. The plot demanded that they reach there, be it from the short or the long convoluted path; they were gonna get there one way or another.

>>58452461 ctd.
>Nothing you do during the game actually matters for the ending. None of it.
If for nothing, it had proven you to be the best choice to teleport to Sky Tower. You had surpassed ACT in terms of feat. No one was going to give that chance to a random wanker, pun intended.

I agree with you on the rest of the points. The game tries to imply that Alakazam lets you go because he himself is not sure whether you are to blame, but still committing himself to killing you because of "impending doom" does not make sense. Xatu is another case of Psychic-hax shortcut lazy writing. The climax is outright insulting and retarded. All of these massive blunders could easily be avoided.

I'm not excusing the bad writing that exists in some parts, but it was regardless a good exploration of human & mon dynamics and the theme of betrayal from the pokemon perspective, in a way that wasn't done before in the franchise to my knowledge. It finally broke the retarded mainline formula and brought a new foundation to build on. I am still longing for something like the plot thread Gengar, Gardevoir, and the Ninetales legend had but in a more fleshed-out manner.

Why is she upside down? Clearly because she rolls, duh. I would never forget which colors Voltorb is haha..

>owns a guild
>respected, sometimes even feared by his guild members, has unquestionable authority over them
>causes an earthquake just by crying
>friends with the illustrious Team Charm, even worked with them in the past
>probably friends with the "legendary" Team Raider too, judging from their dialogue
So putting all that and what you said aside, yes, the game didn't "hype him up" that much.

>>58455174
That's not really hyping him up all that much. He's a known and respected explorer, and he has a cool special move, that's about it. And the earthquake thing is a setup for Brine Cave.

>>58452029
I don't know which games you've been playing. Both RT and Explorers had plenty of regular teams that are doing fine on their own, like the Poochyena team. The majority of them are like that, in fact. Gates also had plenty of capable pokemon, though they all end up in your own team, and Super's guild, for all the problems with the game's story, is also quite competent (except Jirachi and maybe Swirlix). Some of them don't get enough screen time, but Mawile and Archen are both seasoned explorers without any issues.

>>58455290
>Some of them don't get enough screen time
I think that's more of what he's complaining about. Most of the time when we see them on screen, they're getting their asses kicked or acting like retards

I think that's kind of alright though. It gives the player and partner's team more time to shine when they're able to pull off fears that other, more experienced teams couldn't pull off alone

>>58452461
I don't remember if Gardevoir was telling you to go to any specific location. If true, that makes the story a little better, but it'd have also been really easy for them to include "Ninetales that lives in this place" in the legend, and then main characters would have some fucking agency by deciding to act on that info.

>>58454431
That's brilliant. Now draw a completely random character holding a gun (or trying to at least)

>>58455335
>Most of the time when we see them on screen, they're getting their asses kicked or acting like retards
I think that's just "I ATE FOOD" and "I'm a bumbling discount Wigglytuff" being first impressions. They only do dumb things in comedic parts. Once the plot kicks into serious gear, they pull their weight. You travel with Archen for a while, and he's nothing... I dunno, exceptional? But he's fine as a team member. I actually thought it'd be cool if they played up on his ability and he started whining about things when he got pushback and had to be reassured by your partner, but nothing like that happens.

Someday we'll have something to talk about again

>>58456064
I'm curious. Have you had the time to read any stories yet? If so, what are your thoughts?

>Rescue Team
You must return to your world and leave your partner and your friends behind, they're all sad to see you go, you return moments later


>Explorers
You cease to exist instead of just leaving, focuses on your partner's reaction, takes months (in-cutscene) for you to return, other characters die with you and stay dead (until Sky)

>Gates
You must return to your world again, focuses on your own reaction but your partner and friends still leave you a message goodbye, instead of returning immediately after the credits your partner must clear a dungeon for the chance to bring you back, you can reject this invitation back and remain with your human family

>Super
Your partner disappears instead of you, you have to clear a series of dungeons and bring on a temporary replacement until you're able to bring them back

What ending twist would you want or expect to see in PMD 5, assuming it still had to tug on the player's heartstrings through child-friendly means?

>>58461776
I'd honestly rather the game just get away from the "omg the world is ending" stuff. I know they'd never do that, but I always liked the smaller scale stories the games have from time to time much more than "lets go get our balls crushed until the evil force killing the world stops"

How much of PMD's appeal to (you) is in the MD part? If a game came out that had the same setting and writing as PMD but mainline battle and dungeon design would you still be a fan?

>>58463864
what pokemon are those rats?

>>58463990
So like A Star In The Desert? I enjoyed what I played of that, I wouldn't mind it. I think the setting is the biggest draw for me.
>>58463994
Maushold

>>58461776
Everyone disappears but you.
>>58462438
This. You can make much more nuanced conflicts of interest in smaller stakes since it doesn't ultimately boil down to "are you a hecking evil person by causing world destruction or being indifferent about it, or are you a good person by fighting against it?"
>>58463990
None. I was in for the story aspect from the get-go; they give a unique Pokemon perspective that other series don't provide. MD gameplay is ok but it inescapably gets repetitive. I'd prefer an action/adventure type of gameplay much more.

Paradox mons in a PMD setting: yes or no, and why?

>>58464394
I think the past ones could all fit the setting easily enough as long as you make them special. Less fond of the future ones, first because they're nearly all hideous and second because you'd have to work a lot harder to fit not just robots but very sleek, space age robots into the setting. If you come up with a cool enough reason why one's around I wouldn't mind it.

>>58463990
>md gameplay
Couldn't give a flying fuck about it. Take the lore/setting and throw it in an arpg and I'd die happy

>>58464394
>>58464431
Considering time travel has been a thing since Explorers and Super had space travel it shouldn't be hard to justify a high-tech dungeon or two, just don't let them take over the entire plot

>>58464394
yes
i want to do inappropriate things to the robots

>>58463990
I like the dungeon crawling, but i also just like the fact there's no humans and you control the pokes directly.

>>58461776
both of you disappear
i dunno how they could pull it off but i wanna see this with a fleshed out post game

>>58464394
>Protogen kiyo
Oh, no no no

>>58463990
For me the gameplay is the worst part. The story, setting, feeling are most important. It gets very repetitive, and depending on their moveset, the partner feels like such an idiot in actual gameplay.

sorry for the late delivery i fucked my sleep recently

>>58461776
I'd want them to not do the isekai thing for a change and just have you be a native to the world

>>58466040
>:C

>>58463990
Gameplay is one of the most important parts of the series. It's very unique. Yeah, other mystery dungeon games exist, and they are also good don't get me wrong, but I like PMD's style. I like mystery dungeons being tied into the world, too. Not just little levels that aren't explained, but an active threat to the world that people are fully aware of in how unnatural they are

I just want to play more games about pokemon going on lighthearted adventures, why do they refuse to make them?

>>58467522
It's arguably harder than making a mainline pokemon game.

>>58467522
Because anime girls and anime boys are the real appeal of Pokemon. There's no other media franchise that has them in TPC's distinct style, so they gotta capitalize on their niche

>>58463990
I love PMD's gameplay, but I also feel like it's at odds with the story, which significantly limits your playable roster (when from a Pokemon standpoint, teambuilding is a huge part of the appeal) and functions as a stealth massive tutorial before giving you free reign to do what you actually want. Explorers, for example, has a great IQ system in place that functions as a pseudo-class system to further differentiate Pokemon for teambuilding opportunities, but you're forced into the player/partner blowjob brothers duo for the first half of the game, and the grind to actually learn those skills is completely unreasonable in the main story's runtime, before the post-postgame just hands you Marine Resort and IQ Boosters to cap out any new party members quickly. Similarly, Super's Connection Orb recruitment system is severely limited during the main story (on my runs where I try to do every stackable mission within the story's timespan, I usually end up with around 160-180 of the 720-mon lineup before the ending), with a massive amount of the cast only being unlocked after the epilogue, implying that the real game begins in the postgame. RTDX is the only game that gives you full free-form partybuilding before the postgame (outside of select story beats), which I appreciate it for.
The story dungeons also handwave a good chunk of gameplay mechanics, since Level Resets are postgame exclusive and the meta progression means a lot of strategy before the postgame revolve around overbuffing the protag to facetank everything. I genuinely think PMD's one of those cases where the game aspect of the series only really picks up after you beat it. That said, I do like the world presented in the games so the story's a nice bonus.
>but what about custom starters?
Not a part of the devs' intended design, but this does mitigate some of the teambuilding issues.

Has this not been the case for every pokemon game since the 3d era started?

I like the gameplay of pmd. It’s very strategical and ‘easy to learn, hard to master’
I feel rewarded for coming prepared for the random bullshit the game can throw at me, I like racking up items and points going for missions.
I guess if you don’t like inventory management or dungeon crawling, the gameplay isn’t for you, and the story hard carries. But I personally really like it. Except traps. Whoever implemented traps can go fuck themselves.

>>58472265
>Except traps
I actually think the variety of traps should be wider, along with more interactive map props like in Chocobo's Dungeon 2.

I wonder how lenient/harsh prison sentences are in PMDland, considering how it doesn't seem like Wigglytuff got to meet him again.

>>58476312
The typical punishment is most likely exile, not imprisonment. And we don't actually know how long it's been. It easily could have been like 4 years.

>>58476431
If that's the case, it's a pretty lenient punishment given that most criminals we see in dungeons probably don't live in towns or villages

>>58476312
Drowzee was subjected to intense grilling, but released when he expressed remorse and vowed not to hurt anyone again, we don't know what Drowzee's outlaw rank was

Armaldo meanwhile clearly went away for some amount of time considering how dramatic his capture was despite only being B rank, but Wigglytuff says that many more things happened to him after so presumably he got out eventually and they got to explore together again

Drowzee could've only been E rank and sentencing increases exponentially as you go up, or possibly the correlation between time gears being stolen and increased criminality lead to prison overload which incentivized the Magnes to let outlaws expressing remorse go without so much as a proper screening

My headcanon is that Wigglytuff only allowed the outlaw job board in his guild because it gave him leverage to negotiate more lenient sentences for anyone brought in from it

Warning Spoilers and reddit spacing below

That was such a cute story, thank you so much for writing Linoone!! And you did write him very well. The plot is essentially them being badgers, with linoone teaching him how to badger, and that is a top tier cutest plot

There were a lot of adorable parts with Linoone and Ikarus. The couple of times they hugged was so cute. It's also cute how when Ikarus is happy, he emits fire and when Linoone is happy he wags his tail <3

Also a lot of funny parts. First time someone played on the idea that linoones are attracted to bal I mean spherical objects... lmao

>he finds out about torchic
>a female alchemist? The lot of you truly do originate from a backwards world."
KEK

>"Drive?" Linoone nods, saying something how rye-bread and gooselings are quite literally him
LITERALLY HIM

Also, makes sense how Ikarus felt embarrassed about walking on all fours but to me it honestly sounds fun. I would love to walk around low to the ground, have a different perspective and stuff idk maybe I'm autistic..

As usual, Torchic stood atop Phanpy when they went into a dungeon.
No one knows why, but they returned fused together.

>>58463990
Very little. If the next PMD game was just a carbon copy of Fallout 1/2 or any other classic CRPG I would consider it the best Pokemon game of all time.

So why hasn't the guild kicked this guy out on the street by now?

>>58493081
Think about it this way: do you want Cyndaquil to be in a place where he can be monitored and mitigated by others, or do you want him on his own?

>>58493081
Because he would be murdered within the month and the death of a retarded man would forever be on their conscience.

>>58493081
Because Clover Guild is a comedy series
Realistically, he would’ve been fired a long time ago

>>58493153
I don’t want someone like him living with me in the guildhall
I’d rather make him someone else’s problem

>>58493081
canonically has done nothing wrong

He's like a manga-gag character; the second he stops being funny you'll have entire towns disappearing into rape caves.

>>58493081
He is CG's protagonist.

>>58494266
They better have some RadAway on hand.

>>58494266
New game's Wonder Orbs are overpowered as fuck.

Found that art of a Pupitar getting dragged along on a rope I was asking about a while back, if anyone else was interested.

>>58495083
In full quality, even.

Ampharos was pretty strong despite being directionless.

>>58452029
Quagsire in Gates was famous for being powerful and brutal toward criminals, but I don't think we ever see him in action (except for the times he terrifies poor Scraggy with his mere presence).

>>58497744
Scraggy couldn't handle Heavenly Jade Emperor Golden Marsh Quagsire's killing intent

>>58497744
I totally forgot about how based Quagsire was. I should really replay Gates at some point. If only the gameplay didn't suck ass

Just in time for Halloween, I've finished Named at Last, the debut story for Cheris the Tarountula.

Huge thanks to Vaporeanon and Ribombee-anon for their help with proofreading!

Extremely kino
Fantastic art too

thinking of dialogue for this hack is tough

>>58500773
>Tarountula counted seven surface-dwellers in total. Three of them lay motionless under the wagon.
>After weeks on the road, a good meal was exactly what was called for.

>>58503448
What's your hack gonna be about?

>>58503904
Just a dumb little walk around the guild to start with. I know there's already one with that but this would have a different team's perspective. I'd probably move onto having some kind of actual mission after that's done. But thinking of who to add as NPC's is hard.

>>58505329
>doesn't just walk around
Espurr's a rude fuck.

>>58505669
Maybe they're in a corridor, bro

>>58503922
Get a list of names of guildmon you could choose, then spin a wheel and see what happens

>>58500773
that spider is fucking terrifying. I would drop dead in its presence

I'm slowly working my way through most pokemon games in japanese. should I skip gba/ds rescue team, or is it worth the hit of nostalgia?

>>58512078
Play Rescue Team, that way if you play DX you can see how the writing has changed, if at all

>>58509193
Jung as a demonic monster, like the battery from off

I can't believe you bent the knee to the scubafag so easily. . .

There really wasn't any other website that collected shit as good as the guy maintaining these did. It's a real shame, I hope he puts it back up

what a downgrade

>>58515565
Bitch, Quilava is a tier above and Cyndaquil and you know it

>>58515998
The pic already looks like a bit too much like Quilava if you ask me.

Armaldo did nothing wrong.

Why did they pick Chikorita instead of Bulbasaur for the anime special?

>>58518090
because they had the retarded idea that women wanted to be pokemon, but women never want to be pokemon, just fuck horse pokemon.

>>58518094
aw sweet a schizo post

>>58518127
incel with a dress.

>>58512824
This is cute wtf
Why is he so angry

>>58518147
Why are people still using incel as an insult?

>>58518090
the plot of the episode involves them using pecha scarves.
bulbasaur wouldn't need such a constraint

Up

>>58518090
The way they drew Squirtle and Charmander in this special tickles my brain

>>58520261

>>58516600
Would still pet

>>58520214
He's so talented

>>58520261
I never noticed before just how friendly they look. PMD apparently forces artists to make cute

>>58518935
Feel like they could've written that out and just given them different scarves. They're only relevant for like, two minutes

>>58512136
DX is on the list for sure. I won't miss an opportunity to play with furigana

>>58521359
Dialogue bubbles are kinda fucked here. I don't imagine the artist is in the thread here, but big gaps like the one on the left indicate that they should be read later. Pretty sure Rowlett's lines both come before charmeleon, but it doesn't come across that way at first glance

>>58522146
kek that’s not even a rowlet it’s a starly, i had to squint real hard because i was about to make a Cider joke

day 28

>>58523738
I wonder if Pokeballs work on humons

>>58523827
They're identical to pokemon in every way. Why wouldn't they?

Should I read this anons?

>>58525501
Yes, and report back to us when you're finished so we can get the qrd on the plot

>>58523738
Imagine getting caught then spending the rest of your life benched in a PC

>>58525102
They have a Pokemon body but the mind and soul of a human, so I think it's possible the ball will still register them as humans.

>>58526298
>he thinks he still has a human soul
Sorry anon, you're a pokemon when you die too

>>58526365
So this is how you make Jesus Christ hate you. Transform into a furry

I picked pikachu for my partner not realizing that discharge was a gen 4 move. I have no room clear moves, and I've cheesed the last 3 boss fights with bullet seed like a chump

>>58528079
I don't think a single pokemon in Sky Tower has powder snow or lightningrod. And yeah, electrics in gen 3 were in a bad place. If your Pikachu has Thunderbolt, it might be able to hit wall ghosts with it.

>>58528244
>I don't think a single pokemon in Sky Tower has powder snow or lightningrod
I think I'm blending a previous dungeon in with sky tower, my bad, it was like 2AM
>electrics in gen 3 were in a bad place. If your Pikachu has Thunderbolt, it might be able to hit wall ghosts with it.
It does, but I've not been very impressed. Had I remembered discharge was gen 4, I'd probably have gone for a different partner. I was just stuck on the dig meta from sky

>>58528273
You don't need room clearing moves like discharge to get through a dungeon. I did Pikachu/mudkip on my first playthrough and yeah, Sky Tower was very difficult for me. I used a lot of items and picked my fights carefully. Also stocked up on reviver seeds from the kecleon store

>>58528244
hes thinking of silver wind from venomoth

>>58527437
His groomed look is kind of cute

>>58530730
>silver wind was already broken
>they make ominous wind 1 game later which is the same move but with even more accuracy
What were they thinking?

>>58530730
You're correct, my bad.
Crazy how much certain moves become busted with the combat system in this game. I've seen some of the videos from sky with people running focus punch riolu and it looks so fucking fun.
If I ever end up with riolu there I'm absolutely doing it

>>58518672
That's just how the face of objective superiority looks like...

>>58512913
Depending on what exactly you meant by that, I could actualy be your boogieman dear Anon.
