POKÉMON SUPER MYSTERY DUNGEON

[Altissimo]

..and that's where I have difficulty weighing your heavy-handed opinions with any credibility. PSMD is a stand-alone game in that you don't have to know the others to enjoy the adventure (though knowing such does enhance it). However, to make a valid criticism of PSMD's story, plot, themes, and motifs (as you have attempted), one MUST know the history and development of those things in the context of the Mystery Dungeon series as a whole, not just in comparison to the singular microcosmic pinpoint that is PMD2 Explorers.

how does gates tie in, now im curious

i havent played gates lmao

[SlowPokemon]

Why did everyone skip Gates omg

I have watched LPs of Rescue Team, and I wasn't referring to the motifs--I was referring to the story.

Spoiler

Notably, the illusionary legendary battle and the fact that the Expedition Society is extremely similar to the Guild--Ampharos and Wigglytuff are practically the same character.

chapter 14 spoilers

I think this is chapter 14, might be 13 but I'm being safe

I was SO pissed when the goddamn scarves evolved me without my permission. I was really on the verge of tears and probably would have cried if it didn't turn me back. Thank Christ

it's so important I stay a baby the whole game, I'm not sure why but it really is

I couldnt use my pikachu/squirtle team. Also I was really really angry about the forced male characters

There are so many things taken practically straight out of Explorers.

Can't tell if they're making references or are just too stupid to think of anything else.

As someone who's only played explorers of time and PSMD I can say that I have no clue what you're talking about.
As an addendum you have nothing BACKING your claim.  The Expedition Society IS similar to the guild, but since I've only played the two, I assumed it was natural for a pokemon mystery dungeon game to have a place that EXPLORES MYSTERY DUNGEONS.  If the other 2 games don't have one that's their fault.  The only things I've seen from explorers is casual remarks referencing it-certainly not plot themes.  Wigglytuff and Ampharos?  Nah.  Wigglytuff I feel genuinely knew what he was doing and just acted that way to put people off guard.  Ampharos is genuinely scatterbrained.

Ampharos is still my favorite character and my favorite scene is still when you see latias and latios- is this what you were referring to Insig?

This is actually pretty wrong and you should really pay more attention to Ampharos' character.

The Illuminati is quite possibly the best name for the team.
It works so well.

Well, at that point I had just joined the Expedition Society. After playing more I do see that I was wrong. :[

Chapter 16

Wtf why is Revelation Mountain so hard

Holy shit Riolu and Snivy keep getting one-shot

Too many Flying-types for me

I lost Snivy, Archen, Nuzleaf, and all my Tiny Reviver Seeds before F6 on my fifth try and died on the square next to the stairs on F13 .-.

Screw this I'mma rescue myself with three Electric-types

*minding your own business in the middle of a dungeon floor*
"Drifblim used Ominous Wind!"
"Your entire team nearly fainted!"
"Drifblim's Attack rose!  Drifblim's Defense rose!  Drifblim's Special Attack rose!  Drifblim's Special Defense rose!  Drifblim's Speed rose!"
"The Unburden ability delivers another attack!"
"Your entire team got pounded into dust!"
"Drifblim's Attack rose! ..."

In all seriousness though there's so much hax in the dungeons but if you can manage to outhax them the bosses are easier to make up for it
I recommend Stayaway wands

I haven't been playing any psmd in a few days because i got my cousin into ace attorney and the result is that she has been nonstop playing my 3DS

The world never has too many Ace Attorney fans.

Or Undertale fans.

Or PMD fans.

Also, I just found a really weird glitch in

Minor spoilers for Chapter 18-ish

Reverse Mountain

although I doubt it's specific to that dungeon. I took some videos, and I'll upload it to show you guys.

EDIT: Okay, if anyone's at all interested, check here to see the glitch. The first video is sideways, by the way. I just took them with my iPhone, which I happened to have on hand next to me.

I have no clue as to why this happened. It started on F2, presumably after an encounter with a Sawk, and proceeded to persist for the rest of dungeon.

[Dude]

I NOTICED THAT TOO
I just ignored it tho as I don't think it did anything...
