Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 3DS revealed!

[BlueStar]

Fuck yeah more mediocre Pokemon games!

This game has much more in common with rogue-likes, in particular the SNES classic Shiren The Wanderer, than it does with Pokemon.

Great news, PMD Sky is definitely in my top 3 of favorite DS games.

Outside of the fact that it's also just kinda crap TBH. I tried playing one of the DS ones and found it to be dull as hell. I don't hate roguelikes too much, I can enjoy them on occasion, but this was just bad.

Pretty much every PMD game wasn't really worth playing after the main story TBH.
There's the bit of story post-game, but then it's pretty much just "grind for no reason whatsoever."

That sounds like any Pokemon game, Mystery Dungeon or not.

I remember how godly the pokemon mystery dungeon generators were? One question though, HOW THE hell do these generators work. I mean I swear you could even put legendaries as the sender and get every item. I gotta admit even I used it to get certain tms and items.

Well I suppose if they act as a stepping stone to the more interesting gameplay styles I am OK with that; it is not always successful, indeed the attach rate is pretty low overall in my estimation, but pokemon does seem to have acted as springboard for better games.

Re: Password generators.... depending upon the game they work in a couple of subtly different ways.
1) The game quite literally has a password for everything and it checks against a list of those. This is used more for games with a simple level progression and no weapons carried over/possibility for deviation from a preset path.
2) The password itself is in fact an encoding of the things it stores- 4 digits of 0 through 9 is 10^4 or 10000 combinations which is enough to get a lot done*, but surprisingly not actually that much in the grand scheme of things. On top of this there is usually a method to check the password is correct (adding up all the numbers or something- see hashing) which is why failing to enter a "proper" password often fails. For this it is possible to figure out how it works (usually either by seeing the pattern in a lot of passwords or observing/altering the game at the assembly level) and from there a password generator is a matter of writing a tool to make them which is usually not that hard to do effectively.

*it need not be letters either- I remember some of the GB megaman titles had a nice grid which you could fill or leave- a 3x3 grid is 512 combinations and a 4x4 is 65536.

I don't care what you guys. I enjoyed the MD series far more than I enjoyed the main games (DS ones, mind you. No one fucks with the GBA games).

 

[DeadLocked]

It looks even better than I dared hope. :3

(DS ones, mind you. No one fucks with the GBA games).

I don't see a difference except for the worse graphics and the worse game mechanics.

 

[ShadowSoldier]

^ here comes the pokemon haters and COD lovers. oh the irony.

Guild is actually older than 12 years old, so he's not a cod lover. How the hell did you even pull that out of your ass?

Are you the wife in this lesbian relationship?

Nah, I'm the slave

But hey, your post also doesn't make sense because if we're lesbians, then we'd both be the wives.

 

[Vampire Lied]

It's a mystery why anyone would care about this. They should be thrown in a dungeon.

This game will be definitely good.

That's what people said about Duke Nukem Forever.

Duke Nukem is not even comparable to pokemon.

The point being that you can't say a game will definitely be good that long before release, especially since we have so little information about it right now.

I said that zelda skyward sword was going to be awesome and it was.

First trailer:


EDIT: So I just watched this. It's just sooo awesome *o* and did any of you notice the Nintendo Network logo in the end? Hmm that means there's either multiplayer, DLC or free downloadable missions.

I've always been a huge fan of this spin-off of the Pokémon games(As well as Ranger). I've been itching for a new once since Explorers of Time seeing as I didn't get sucked into Explorers of Sky mainly because it wasn't a long enough gap for me to want to buy the same story over again.

But I do look forward to this
