>>24711055
I think it determines your partner's gender, but I am not sure.
>>24711064
As far as I can tell, there isn't a listed gender, and everyone seems to refer to them by name at all times.
>>24711055
It's for the gender of your partner only; not MC I'm afraid.
Which is strange because they don't refer to you or your partner by gender anyway.
>>24711071
gender doesn't really exist, moves/abilities that depends on gender works differently (such as Rivalry)
probably the only effect it does it changing Pikachu's tail

I named them after two protaganists in stories of mine, Victor (Fennekin) and Liza (Riolu)
>>24711103
No, I don't think it's just you. I'm currently sitting through the last chapter and I've only seen a single heal seed during the entire game.
>>24711097
I get that, but it forces me to reconfigure my team every time, and always when I jsut want to grind to get them to suitable levels.

While moving locations for a story gives a bigger sense of adventure, it ended up suffering from the same problems games like Final Fantasy 6 had. Just when you were finally starting to care about a character, they go away and only rarely show up again, only to be replaced with characters you didn't have the chance to care about. And as soon as they start growing on you, they'll suddenly go away.
Hey guys, what's a good comp forPurifying Cave?

Is there any place that lists what connections you have to make to actually recruit a Pokemon rather than just telling you how it's recruited? I don't wanna waste my time recruiting the wrong Pokemon when I'm just trying to get one I like first.
>>24711711
SOLUTION:
you keep getting letters from everyone in Serene Townvia Pelipperor extend the story to give development time for characters
>>24711711
It's also arguably got bad gameplay pacing to blame, too. I liked the Villagers, but by the time I left, I was sick and tired of the place because of how long it took. I know we would leave, I knew we would join the Society, so the game meandering and restricting gameplay functions like that made me really frustrated, and that made it hard to keep caring about the story's fizzling momentum.
>>24711670
I took her on a mission and she fired Hyper Beam at the enemy infront of me, killing the enemy and I
>>24711755
Why not just haveall your classmates form their own expedition society?
>>24711783
Probably would have been better off with that, or just completely skip the whole class thing and start things off at the expedition thing. One or the other.
I think the entire game would have benefited from less characters now that I think of it.
>>24711793
I dunno, going to school together helped meld their backstories together and their interactions with each other. It just felt right to me.
>>24711781
Oh fuck she's confused now and is now firing Hyper Beams everywhere. I'm scared.

You can disable what moves Pokemon use in the menu. Just turn off Hyper Beam until Confusion wears off.

>>24711907I can't write for shit either, but it didn't stop me from doing a 'remix' fic of Explorers. It's shite, but I'm having fun doing it.
I gotta ask, are the sweets (donut/chocolate/cookie) better than just buying individual drinks, or am I wasting my time trying to get them?
>>24711971
It's a huge gamble, considering the Chocolate and Cookie are worth twice the amount of a single drink and you're not guaranteed good returns.
Only reason you'd go for it is if you want more HP, since Cofagrigus doesn't sell Life Seeds or Sitrus Berries.
>>24711793
To be fair, I think the first half of the game or so wouldn't be so bad if they just gave us some really solid, tangible foreshadowing.
Like, there is foreshadowing during the first part of Super. The partner gives you the Harmony Scarves, and the fact that theyaccept the Litwik despite them needing to scare other Pokemon is a nice parallel to them accepting Dark Matter.
The problem is that the stuff that gets foreshadowed never really comes into play early enough to be relevant. You get the Harmony Scarves really early, but you don't have your first Harmonize until way, way later, in like Chapter 13 or 14 or something. By comparison, the Dimensional Scream happened early, but was actually relevant to the story by helping you save Azurill, and then you used it multiple times over the course of Explorers' first part.
Similarly, the brief dialogue references to Pokemon getting turned to stone during your time in Serene Village come off as less relevant and more like gossip. It's like talking about what you heard on the news this morning about what happened so-far-away, it feels interesting but not relevant. By comparison, in Explorers time was going out of whack, so the partner telling you about the Time Gears was relevant lore, hearing about how time had stopped in another area introduced a smaller-scale conflict facing the world into the story, and then you found the Time Gear at Fogbound Lake, which became relevant very quickly afterward. Those were always much more tangible than oblique dialogue references.
Man, I've been saying this a lot recently, but the more I think about Super's story, the less I like it. What happened?
>>24711360
I used a Lucha Medal to change her ability to Technician...
She is an absolute monster.
>>24712001
The more I think about it, the more reused plot elements Super had from the previous games.
Think about it. After the player leaves Serene Village, almost everything that happens after has happened in almost a complete re-enactment of an event in a past game. I won't list them off because I don't want to flood my post with spoilers, but you can see where I'm coming from here.
>>24712001
It happened to Explorers's story as well for me. The more I think about it, the guild was terrible. So much time is spent there but they contribute almost nothing to the story, and there's not much character to them outside of blurting catchphrases. The partner wasn't very interesting or likeable either.
Got blown up by a monster house, help would be appreciated.
>>24712017
That too. There were some tweaks to the reusingslike sending the player and partner's reincarnation into the future rather than GONNA TAKE YOU BACK TO THE PAST, but on the whole the game really feels like a retread, except without the kind of consistency or believability.
Like, the whole game feels like a ton of contrivances piled on to give the illusion of a consistent story, and stuff like the unexplained cameos from the other games and so on don't help that feeling. It feels like a world where there aren't any rules or backbones set up, so it's just "anything goes".
who's a good partner for Tepig?
I'm thinking squirtle.
>>24712020
To me it's the opposite actually: I still care about the Wigglytuff Guild even to this day, anytime I replay the games, because the game doesn't restrict you gameplay-wise and they each get a little time with you for you to get to know them.
Like, both Explorers' and Super's first parts are meant to ease you into the world, get you caring about the characters and used to the setting. But Explorers had you join the actual guild extremely early, had you earning rank points and doing missions just as fast, and recruitment was unlocked soon afterward. Plus, you never went to a different town, so the cast was always consistent.
Compared to Super, I actually cared about the Serene Village guys at first, they were a fun bunch. But once I got to Chapter 6 and had only just gotten the Connection Orb, and not only was I not getting rank points or anything, I was still forced down a bottleneck of linear missions to start using the Orb, I was getting really frustrated with how the game was being all tutorial-y. Combined with how much the story started to meander around that point, I ended up stopping caring about the Serene Village, and the game never managed to get my invested-interest back.

Lucha Tokens are for Ability swapping. to be tutored moves you gotta pay up.
>>24712126
.......
what?
That doesn't make any fucking sense.
Cincinno is so fucking overpowered it is not even funny
not only does this piece of shit get four multi-hit moves, but it also boosts their damage by 50% with its ability
all you have to do is boost its accuracy a little bit and it one shots literally everything
>>24711783
I would've much preferred this, the school kids are likable with pretty definite personalities but the society is just really unremarkable to me.
>Dragonite Motivation Day
>Have Outrage and Persim Looplet
The only downside to this is Wurmple and Buneary tagging along. Oh, and Loudred getting killed because of Chlorophyll Leaf Storm.
>>24712108
Hawlucha becomes a tutor
>>24712133
Cinccino is my second favorite Pokemon, so I am perfectly fine with it being an absolute death machine in something.
>>24711783
This actually works in tandem with the whole "kids can't join the Expedition Society" thing the game tries to hammer into you in the first third of the game. Instead of 'lel let's make an exception', we get them all rebelling with "Let's make our own society! With blackjack and hookers!"
>Choose Froakie as starter just so I can have a protean later
>Hawlucha won't let me switch his abilities even with a token and tell me "That's his best ability already!"
Fuck it, is there a pokemon that actually benefits from the ability switching apart from Cinccino?
I FUCKING KNOW WHAT A MOTIVATED UNOWN DOES YOU DON'T NEED TO TELL ME EVERY TIME
>>24712174
Whimsicott
>>24712133
>piece of shit
Don't you dare insult the best Pokemon.
>>24712174
Probably, there's just no Hidden Abilities.
>>24712149
Then it literally because rescue team
>>24712108
Have you beat mewtwo?
Have you got back your partner after mew?
Have you become diamond rank?
Have you got 500+ pokemon connected?
If not, then guess what all you need to do.
>>24712189
But Rescue Team didn't have characters I gave a shit about. In fact there's nobody in Rescue Team worth giving a shit about. Except MAYBE Gengar, but that's post-game.
>>24712183
But like 80% of the most useful abilities are Hidden Abilities. This is blasphemy
>>24712208
yeah the rape subplot was really shocking and dark
>>24712208
Who's suing me?
>>24712218
'Murika
>>24712220
>About to attack Yanma
>Move screen says Arm Thrust is super effective
Nice disguise, nerd
>>24712082
Anyone? I don't have Chesnaught in the orb yet and I can't evolve myself that far to see before I reload and get the superior first form back just yet.
>>24712235
Maractus comes with Spiky Shield too. If you recruited them, try it out.
>>24712237
I don't think I have Maractus
>>24712235
just checked, it just said "blocks attack moves and causes damage. chance of failing rises if used in a row"
I regret evolving
>>24712266
and why is that
>>24712281
It just feels wrong
So someone said that instead of doing Bullshit Heart Lake to get the future trio, you can get to Grovyle and Celebi by taking a longer path starting with Ledyba.
So I have to ask: where the heck can I find Ledyba? Do I have to beat up a ton of ladybugs in a dungeon in order to get it in the Orb or what?
>>24712287
I've never bothered evolving myself since Rescue Team and I greatly regretted it back then too. I did evolve my partner to Wartortle this game though, solely because Wartortle is cuter than Squirtle.
>Evolving in a PMD game
>ever
Why would you do this?
>not forcefeeding your partner attract
>>24712305
RT is the only one I didn't regret it.
Is it odd that the end of the Epilogue hit me harder than the ending before the credits? I was tearing up at the cutscenes after saving the world and hanging out with friends for a few days, but I didn't have that moment again until the last Epilogue cutscene.
>>24712174
Togekiss and Togepi lines if they accidentally get Hustle (accuracy is terrible in this game, so it's a useless ability). Flinching for days. Aside from that, it's personal preference.
>>24712305
I evolved in Rescue Team and didn't exactly regret it, but didn't exactly like it, either, and ended up resetting.
I did evolve in Explorers, though, and I've never actually regretted it at all. It felt like a natural fit: we'd been through so much throughout the whole game, the partner had developed from a meek, unconfident sort to an emotional-but-strong and driven Pokemon, and evolving just clinched that together for me. It felt like the perfect way to end the main stories of the game and the perfect way to begin the post-postcredits content.
As for their sleeping animations, I just always liked to think that they were tidying their beds.
So my L broke is there any way to play this game and using moves?
>>24712366
this guy knows whats up
>>24712371
How do TM's even get used in the pokemon world?
>>24712366
Riolu has a terrible movepool, Froakie needs to Dark-type STAB, Braixen is superior, etc.
>>24712366
I want to restart my save now but fuck that.
I would if there was a skip cutscene button.
>>24712405
Take the long way and use the touch screen.
Otherwise, consider investing in other 3DS. The experience is a LOT slower if you don't have a working L button.
I know. Red/blue rescue team was my childhood and after the disappoint that was gates to infinity in hyped. GTI was too short I used to love that long ass post game that the first games had and if gurren lagann tought ME anything(seeing as how super tengan toppa gurren lagann is bigger than the observable universe) is that super=bigger. NOT TO MENTION YOU can see the continent that the first games took place in!
>>24712408
Then don't fucking pick Riolu, Froakie or Braixen, just recruit them.
>>24712420
How do you do that? There doesn't seem to be an option.
Anyone else notice.How identical the story is to Symphonia?
>Come across dead tree of life
>Villain can't let go and takes the tree with him to space
>Without the tree, the land is doomed to die
>Confront the villain who is lost in darkness
>After defeating them, your partner still wants them to be happy and be accepted even in death
>Tree is nearly out of orbit
>Power of friendship wills it back to life
>Tree blossoms and restores the land
>The spirit of the tree appears before them
>Tells them this tree harbors all living things
>Promise to keep it alive for the future.
It's fucking uncanny.
>>24712467
This game is pretty much Pokemon Mystery Dungeon:Persona 4 and Tales of Symphonia Edition
>>24712467
I've never actually played that, so of course none of that ever occurred to me.
I've always wanted to play it, though. Nintendo Power advertised it a lot as a kid, but like a lot of games around that time, I never got to pick it up while I was growing up.I have to admit that after having beaten Super, I bet Symphonia pulls the story off ten billion times better, or at least with a little less contrivance to it.

PLEASE STOP. I DONT WANT THIS ANYMORE
Does this game have a post-story? Kinda like the Darkrai story from sky?
>>24712596
not as expansive as sky. prob a bit better than Gates'
>>24712596
nowhere near. its just getting your partner to come back to life over 2 dungeons. Really disappointing.
>>24712596
There's three dungeons dedicated to a very brief and hasty, pasty poststory, and that's about it.
>>24712587
Shit, meant Snover.
>Credits rolling
>Just feel fucking empty and depressed
>>24712625
Why? they're coming back in 2 dungeons. When does your partner, or you ever die in these games?
Does anybody remember how to "favorite" Pokemon in your connections?
I only did it for salamence (it has a yellow circle next to its name), and would like to do it for other mons so I don't have to trudge through lists every time I go out on missions.
Thus games story is literally Xenoblade chronicles 2.0.
>>24712635
You have to recruit them first off.
Then you go into the connection map, choose them, and then add them.
>>24712625
Yeah. I didn't cry or anything, but I just felt really fucking depressed afterwards.Like I had just lost a friend.
>>24712636
How?
>>24711531
Any canon shippings in this game?
