I'm the best. But there's no grinding and for some reason I'm getting oneshot by fucking Water Gun despite it not even being my weakness.
I have to eat two Oran Berries right at the start of every mission just to not instantly die.
Any hints as how to not get wiped out by everything?

My Riolu's best move is Force Palm. Generally I get by just throwing rocks at everything.
So everybody saw that first betrayal coming but getting betrayed byEspurrcaught me completely off guard. I was mad all day.
>Has teammate with Earthquake
>Already paid a ticket to death
This happen when I was playing Explorers of Sky, and the game thought it was my fault, despite the teammate being a doofus.
Picked this up last week and just finished the main adventure.
Story was not nearly as good as Time/Darkness/Sky. So much for "Super". It's much easier too with the cheaper Revive Seeds.
>>344257440
Play the game. PLAY. THE. GAME!
>>344257640
I think for a gold bar, you can buy 5 fully revival seeds. That's quite cheap.

Are you kind of casuals who used status effects on Primal Dialga too?
>>344258223
You got rused by Rotom, didn't you anon?
>>344258394
I bet you're the type of person who thinks newer Pokémon games aren't being casualized because you can "just turn the Exp. Share off".

>They only wanted to hang out with you
>>344258596
I bet you're the kind of person who picks Easy every time because Normal is just "artificial" difficulty.
>Spite
Quirks about this game some of you probably didn't know:
>Throwing an iron spike at an Onix instantly evolves it into Steelix
>Abras always drop Elixirs
>Braixens always drop wands
There's probably more that I can't think off of the top of my head.
>>344261253
>>Throwing an iron spike at an Onix instantly evolves it into Steelix
What the fuck
This guy. This fucking guy.
I spend all of my items and reviver seeds.
But this fucking nigger decides its you're meant to die to him. And then they make you go though the fucking dungeon again.
I dropped the game.
>>344262153
>Dropped at Entei
Good thing you might've had a panic attack atYvetal
>>344262153
You would have really loved Yveltal.
>>344262287
Why? I actually though about giving it another go.
>>344253380
How does it hold up compared to PMD2? Will it still make a grown man cry? Is it still fun?
>>344262442
Just as good if not better. The game eventually takes you on the wildest ride PMD has ever taken anyone.
>>344262442
Story is pretty shit. Gameplay is better than Gates, but worse than Sky I feel. Recruitment is soulless now.
>>344262367
Entei is small time compared to him
Yveltal's Oblivion Wing hits for a near death to you while hitting in a large area so it will almost certainly hit you and your partner and the worst of it is that it heals him as well!
>>344262692
>Recruitment is souless
What the fuck does this mean? Beating the shit out of random pokemon in a dungeon isn't magical. If we're being real here the connection orb system exists solely because of the amount of pokemon and that system will probably continue with the number rising.

wut? Characters aside from you and your partner actually participate this time around.
>Recruitment is soulless now
wut? Each Pokemon has an associated quest to it which involves dialogue and surprising amounts of variety.
>>344253380
Why was this game's soundtrack SO FUCKING GOOD?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oH83aXI2mn8
Super actually managed to surpass Explorers in my eyes. Say what you want about 'muh story' but god DAMN, the gameplay as well as difficulty was refined to the point of near perfection.
>>344262442
It sure as hell will make a grown man cry but not in the sense you're thinking. The game can be fucking brutal at times. Definitely the hardest campaign.

Music is something Pokemon Mystery Dungeon will never get wrong. Even Gates had a solid as fuck soundtrack.
>>344262442
Better than PMD2.'
>>344262692
>Gameplay is worse than Sky
Are you fucking retarded? The gameplay is miles better, I can't even think about replaying Sky now.
>starters all start out with great moves instead of Tackle and Ember for 90% of the game
>most moves have ranges changed from previous games therefore allowing more strategy; unlike Rescue Team and Explorers where most moves are 1 tile
>Emera system is great, allows for some cuh ray zee strategies and encourages you to explore the entire floor
>emphasis on item usage higher than ever before
>difficulty the highest it's been in the series to compensate for all the extra stuff the player can do now
>>344264657
>Better than PMD2.
Even in the story department?
I barely got past the Poliwraths. How fucked am I if I continue playing?
>>344264739
The 'atmosphere' is worse but the story has better twists in my opinion.
By atmosphere I mean that you're not fresh explorers who just join a guild; but rather kids in elementary school for the first few chapters of the game. When you do end upjoining an expedition teamit feels smaller than Wigglytuff's Guild.
However, the tweests are significantly more difficult to predict this time around and hit much harder. One of them even deliberately plays on your expectations if you're a veteran of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.
>>344262692
>muh RNG recruitment
In fact fuck that shit. Recruiting everything was complete bullshit in the old games.
>PONYTA of all Pokemon is one of the hardest Pokemon to recruit
>have to go to floor 87 or whatever the fuck in a level 1 dungeon for it
>it's easier to go through the entirety of Wish Cave multiple times for Chansey than to recruit it naturally
>FUCKING MEW
>Kekleon's -35% recruitment rate along with their turbo roids
And that's just the first game. I didn't even get into how you have to bring a fucking escape orb just to keep your recruits alive EVERY TIME. Do you know how tedious this is?
>>344264293
They take the music very seriously, to the point of hilarity. The composer knows exactly what he's writing for, as examplified by that song you posted.
>OK let's just do a generic african-sounding volcanic song
>Oh wait you say this is like a big climax
>Never mind let's just turn it into the best song ever

Very. Future bosses are immune to status effects.

>One of them even deliberately plays on your expectations if you're a veteran of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.
I know exactly which twist you're talking about, and even that's pretty contrived.
>>344269236
Do you mean'I am mew"[/spoiler?
>>344269463
Yeah, that one.
I though it was a great twist on paper.
Especially when you start up the game after the ending and, unlike the rest of the PMD games,Mew is still missing and it's not automatically undone within seconds.
But it was pretty poorly justified whyMew had to go.
