When will people stop with the "this game is hard" meme? This game is fucking easy. Maybe because it's early on in the game, only on chapter 8. I have totodile as my starter and treecko as my partner. When will the game ACTUALLY give me a challenge? So far literally none of my teammates have died.

I'm in the epilogue with Mew, when do I get my partner back?

That's exactly how I did it, too. Started with a confusion wand though, and he still managed to nearly kill me. Then I just kept making him sleep and it was over.

>>317758368
You are right. The thing is I wasn't giving a fuck for the game until that point. Poliwraths didn't give me any problem, but Salamance raped my ass hard.
After that I went battling him with slumber wands and I never underestimated the game again.

Everyone gets exp including who you don't take along. The only thing that will happen is your starter and partner will level up their moves which is a slight benefit to wasting Salamence on a weak dungeon and not being able to use him for forever and half afterwards.

Yeah.

Then Pokemon Z will actually feel like a massive improvement over X/Y like how SMD is to Gates to Infinity.

Is there any benefit to continuing in a dungeon if you're close to the end, after doing an Expedition quest? Besides exp/items and that stuff.

No

This isn't shit like Gate to infinity right? I loved the mystery dungeon games but really hated gates to infinity.

Cool I might buy it. Like an idiot I bought Gate to Infintiy when it came out. I expected all the pokemon to be in that game but instead there was like 100. The story was bad and the difficulty dropped too much for me. In my opinion,, Explorers of darkness/time/sky was the peak of the series so if its anything like that I'm sure I'll enjoy it. According to bulbapedia this game should have all the pokemon so that's already a step up.

I'd hate to see anyone but them designing Pokemon. When it comes to that I believe they are top notch.

And Chunsoft hasn't had a flawless record either retard. I hate this "get X to replace another company because they've made a few good games". Most of the time it's muh Platinum. I'm seen retards say Retro should make a Banjo Kazooie game.

That's not the point. They can make platformers but they can't make a Banjo Kazooie game. Half the game is the writing by those wisecracking British bastards. The series would not be nearly as charming otherwise.

Except that's not what I said. Banjo Kazooie wouldn't have nearly as much identity as it does without the writing and goofy scenarios. Based on what Retro put out they aren't very funny and I doubt they would have the same humor. Anyone can make a good 3D platformer. Not everyone can make a Banjo game.

Relates to accuracy according to some people in a thead yesterday.

I don't think that's true though because accuracy is already factored into your moves which level up separately as they did in GtI.

The game isn't hard. Only is if you try to play it like the last three games. If you play it like the game wants you to, abusing the fuck out of items until you get a good emera set-up for the dungeon so you can start relying more on moves and still being liberal with items in sticky situations, it's pretty manageable.

>>317754456
Best pairing. Braixen has a cute walking/running animation.

>>317778121
>>317778526
Your accuracy is decided by it. The manual states this.

But of course no one reads the manual.

Visit Xerneas at the Tree of Life in post-game. For you and your partner, you can the same way after the epilogue chapter. There's no stat impact this time though, just movesets and visuals.

>>317779210
>can I capture monsters
This time you recruit Pokemon by doing favors for them. Could be just talking to them, could be rescuing a friend, could be finding a lost item, could be beating the shit out of them, so on.
>evolve them
Yeah but it's pointless because you only get one of every Pokemon so you just end up with two of an evolution and none of the pre-evo.
>evolve myself
Yeah, and it's actually worthwhile for you and your partner since you can recruit seconds of their mons anyways.

Do you ever get your partner back or do they just stay as mew? The whole reason I picked Fennekin was so I could get Braixen eventually
