Description Well this is one I wasn't originally planning to share on here but seeing as there's a NEW POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON (woohoooo yeah!) on the way, it made sense I guess. This is a team made up of (from left to right) my sister, me, my friend, and my friend's husband (who is also my friend). The characters were decided going by our results on the PMD:Explorers games' quiz, except for my sister, who accepts no result other than Squirtle.   Like most of my other PMD team artwork, this is coloured with colour pencils, A5 size.

I am very much excited for the new game So far it seems to be fixing the issues I had with GtI. Don't get me wrong, that was a good game, it's just that the content seemed really lacking compared to EoS. Having a small amount of Pokémon in it weakened the overall experience for me, and the post-ending content was practically non-existent. Plus the 'only do one job in a dungeon at a time' thing kinda sucked. The soundtrack was fantastic though, there were some good new features (in particular, all team members getting EXP whether in your party or not) and the ending made me cry more than the previous game's endings did (in a PMD, that's a good thing, haha).

PSMD (so many acronyms! And sentences in brackets!) has made me happy just for including all the starter choices again. Admittedly, I was hoping for an even bigger selection that included more non-main series starters as well, especially Helioptile, but it's still much better than the previous choice of 5 huh. I look forward to taking the new personality quiz and seeing what it labels me as Of course if I don't want to use what it gives me I'll be aiming for Cyndaquil instead. Which reminds me, I really hope genders are displayed again, but that this doesn’t put restrictions on which starter you can be.
I'm pretty confident that the story and soundtrack will be great. The soundtrack in particular. The other little thing I'd like to see is being able to evolve your hero and partner characters earlier, if not during the main storyline then during the post-ending story (rather than right at the very end when virtually all things of interest have been completed). The Rescuers games let you do that, although it was at the expense of your characters having any expression portraits. So if they could fix that too... That would be awesome. Letting evolved main characters have personality wouldn't be too difficult, would it?

Anyways that's enough of my rambling. For those who love the PMD series, what are you hoping for in the next instalment?

Got SMD for christmas!

My opinion: the artistic realization is top notch, especially the OST (Sunbathed forest, my God). However, I really but REALLY miss the old recruitment system. The whole connection orb thing really makes it feel constraining. Same goes for the dungeon missions which are now a fixed number.

"The other little thing I'd like to see is being able to evolve your hero and partner characters earlier, if not during the main storyline then during the post-ending story"

Then *SPOILER* you're gonna get served, I just reached the chapter when something like that happens! *END OF SPOILER*


Funny that you chose those pokémon, because Cyndaquil and Treecko are exactly who I chose (my Cyndaquil's named Quinn and my partner's named Groover). I went as a Cyndaquil ever since the first game and Treecko was my partner in Red Rescue team, followed by Pikachu in Explorers of time. I skipped Gates of Infinity, but that's alright because SMD's jukebox features tracks from the previous games.

You know what? I might return in the future to commission something about my SMD characters... If you take commissions, that is.

I'm not currently taking commissions, and can't foresee it happening any time soon, but should circumstances ever change I would of course put a post on here

Living in the UK means no PSMD until February unfortunately, so I'm still waiting! Can't wait to play it! Good to hear they made another awesome soundtrack though, I haven't listened to any of it yet as I love experiencing it firsthand when getting to new areas in game. Shame the connection orb restricts missions though, I did wonder how it would work without the randomly generated missions and rewards. Can you still nickname the Pokemon you recruit??

My first team on Blue Rescue was Chikorita and Charmander, I used them again for my first playthrough on Explorers but going by the quiz results on those games, I get Cyndaquil. I like Axew and Tepig for my Gates team ^^

I am so hyped for PSMD, you don't even know. And you took the words right out of my mouth regarding how I feel about Gates to Infinity.

Also I hope we get to actually use mega evolutions in a cool way that goes with what you said about being able to evolve during the story. But then it makes choosing a starter even harder. (The struggle is real.)

I just wish it were coming out this winter here in the UK like it is in the US, agh! The suspense!
I can't wait to see how the story plays out, the PMD games always have an awesome plot twist.
You narrowed down which starters you want to choose from?

Sucks that you have to wait a month or two longer to get it. Especially since it's looking to be the best PMD yet.

I haven't figured out what exactly which starter I want yet. Because the Kalos starters are being introduced, so I might want to be a fennekin or a chespin. But they're also introducing mega evolution, I'm tempted to be one of the starters that have a mega form. But I also want to be a snivy or a tepig too. They just have so many choices!  

Even though they have a lot of starter choices, I still miss being able to be a non starter pokemon. I want to go back to being a vulpix and it is disappointing that you can't be a noibat or a goomy or even a pumpkaboo! I mean, come on, who doesn't want to be a pumpkaboo.

ManiacalMew In reply to MousseTrap567 [2015-11-05 15:44:11 +0000 UTC]

Haha, well if you get completely stuck as to which one to choose you could see if the personality test gives you one of those choices you mentioned, and go with that one
I was hoping for options like Growlithe and Helioptile, Noibat would have been pretty cool too! I also liked it when Cubone was a starter, that was a fun option.
It's a shame that all the starter Pokemon don't have mega evo's at this time, would have been pretty sweet if each one of them could mega evolve in PSMD.

I can't wait for SPMD! I'm a shameless EoS fangirl, I will admit, but PMD has always been my favorite game series of all time! I'll probably try and become a Mudkip.

I loves Mudkip
PMD are awesome games, gives a completely different spin on things seeing everything from the Pokemon's viewpoint.

EMOLGAISAWESOME In reply to ManiacalMew [2015-09-05 14:49:44 +0000 UTC]

Mudkip was my first Pokemon ever in PMD... with a Pikachu partner... I still have that file on my Red Rescue Team.
I think every game has something good, even GTI. They all have memorable music, characters, and stories.
Grovyle will always be my best friend. ;-;

ManiacalMew In reply to EMOLGAISAWESOME [2015-09-25 12:25:07 +0000 UTC]

I was glad they gave closure about Grovyle's story on Sky, not knowing what became of him when playing Time was hard!
Yeah each of the games have their own awesome features. Here's hoping PSMD will successfully blend each, haha. The music has been the most consistent great thing about the series I think, improving with each release.

ManiacalMew In reply to DuneTheZangoose [2015-06-15 15:48:11 +0000 UTC]

Thanks

It's Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon. That name made me think it was gonna be a tacky free game at first, then I read the info and it said about release dates being months apart so it was clear it would be a full game. Since then that has been confirmed.

ManiacalMew In reply to DuneTheZangoose [2015-06-16 10:07:57 +0000 UTC]

I would definitely recommend trying them if you can get ahold of them, particularly Explorers of Sky (If you were to play Sky you wouldn't need Explorers of Time/Darkness, as Sky is a revamped version of those). I think with the Mystery Dungeon spin-offs you either love 'em or hate 'em, personally I love them as much as the main series.

Well awesome, I'll have to look into them for sure
My birthday is coming up after all lol

Would PMD Sky be the equivalent of Pokemon Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, and Platinum?

ManiacalMew In reply to DuneTheZangoose [2015-06-17 15:15:48 +0000 UTC]

Haha yeah make use of it
Sky shouldn't be too expensive now, and yup it is the mystery dungeon equivalent of those games. Blue rescue team is also worth trying, though its worth noting it's the first game in the series and not quite as polished, but still great fun.

DuneTheZangoose In reply to ManiacalMew [2015-06-17 21:55:48 +0000 UTC]

Yeah

I'll see if I can't find them cheap

I've heard that you can trade Pokemon from those games to the regular Pokemon games.

ManiacalMew In reply to DuneTheZangoose [2015-06-18 14:53:37 +0000 UTC]

Unfortunately you can't trade to the main series games, you could swap team data on other PMD copies so you battle them in a dungeon, but that's about it for trading

Ahh bummer. I could have sworn that I read that you could trade them. Total bummer, did you catch Darkrai

ManiacalMew In reply to DuneTheZangoose [2015-06-21 16:52:00 +0000 UTC]

It would be cool if you could trade them to main games...
Nah I didn't get 'round to recruiting Darkrai on Sky, he's not one of my favourite characters so I didn't really try haha.
