Have you played Pokémon Mystery Dungeon?

We now know a new Mystery Dungeon game is coming later this year (or early next year, sorry Europeans/Australians/Kiwis), but have you actually played any of the games? The series actually started way back in 2005 as a crossover between our favorite franchise, Pokémon, and Chunsoft’s Mystery Dungeon series. Each level is randomized and if you’re defeated you get sent back to the beginning with little to show for it. There are also no humans featured in the game, with the main character waking up mysteriously as a Pokémon!

  1. With said starters obviously being playable i wonder what moves are you maximizing their use to in Dungeons
    ex
    Chespin users will be equipped with the powerful Vine Whip and can build up damage with Rollout and finally the ever useful Bite and Pin Missile at range
    Fennekins will blaze through foes and dungeons with Ember and complete them faster with Flame Charge but nothing good until the reliable Psybeam
    Last but not least Froakie will be speedy as always landing consecutive Quick Attacks and Bubbles and fighting Ghosts and Psychic types with Lick all until it blasts away foes with Water Pulse
    a weird thing to think but remember we’re all dungeon crawling and we need to utilize the best attacks to make it out alive

  2. Mega cofagrigus
    Hp:58
    Attack:50
    Defense:105(-40)
    Special attack:155(+60)
    Special defense:85(-20)
    Speed:130(+100)
    Type:ghost
    Ability: clear body/ curse body or some new ability
    The concept of this mega, is cofagrigus ghost leaving the coffin it posses, so it loses some of it’s defense but gets a major special attack and speed boost.

  7. I love Explorers of Sky because the game was massive, even in terms of the story line, you could catch every Pokemon (at that time) except for Arceus, who still made an appearance in the form of a statue at the top of the most difficult dungeon in the game and the story was quite moving. I was thinking about Gates to Infinity but that game really dropped the ball in terms of Pokemon and content. Even though Mystery Dungeon went forward in graphics, it fell quite a far way back with content and the amount of Pokemon available.

  8. I’m one of very few that DOESN’T like PMD! I played the very first one, but I never came further than halfway up the first 100 floor dungeon. That’s when I completely stopped playing it, and never returned.

    I didn’t like that I couldn’t save anytime I wanted and that I couldn’t carry more than a limited amount of items.
    I don’t really remember, but I think I was knocked out 20-30 times in that last dungeon before I stopped forever. Was too difficult for me, I guess…
    That’s why I was really disappointed when they announced this game instead of a new main game.
    But I won’t give up hope for a main game coming out soon (as possible).
