I've been reading clover stories for a while now, and I'm really excited to, at long last, publish my first story, "A Bull-Headed Start". Hope you all enjoy it! Here's the link: https://rentry.org/CloverCachopo1

>Is there a specific dungeon you hated from any of the PMD games and why?
Cape of Wonders. It uses the worst of the GTI layouts, the worst GTI dungeon theme, high level for the point you can unlock it (fuck the Omastar that spam non stop Hidro Pump that goes trough allies). What makes it the worst is that the devs assigned what feels like every aquatic pokemon's mission to that dungeon, so you end up visiting it non stop.
>Why do you think pokemon can only evolve in specific places like luminous cave instead of anywhere like mainline?
Solely to contextualise why evolution is locked to post game. Won't complaint though, it's much more convenient than taking the pokemon you want to evolve to a dungeon, and it adds mysticism to the world.
>What would be the weakest possible explorers duo?
Riolu and Vulpix for sure. They're really bad, guys trust me, pick something else, something original while you're at it.
>How dexterous do you think bird Pokémon like Fletchling, Pidgey, Unfezant, etc. are with their wings?
I'd like to say not really. But chatot has animations where he holds the memo containing who's going to the expedition, so they probably have dexterity when it's convenient.

>>59087294
great first story anon :D very cute premise for a character, and the cameos are very classic
hope you stick around!!

>>59087294
Good story, anon. Some slight gramatical flaws, but nothing that hurts readability.


Cachopo's anger issues are an interesting flaw for him to have. I'm curious what you'll do with them in the future, and with him in general.
I found it a bit odd how quickly he landed on the 'feral' descriptor for the enemies he fought, even before knowing about the nature of the world, but perhaps it could be explained by his rage as well.

>At least I managed to retrieve the stolen item.
Heh.



Please confirm or update the following information. In addition, you may now or in the future attach an expanded personality blurb that will be linked to your character's information.
>Cachopo|M|P-Tauros (Aqua Breed)|N/A|Clover Guild Member|???

>>59087421

>>Is there a specific dungeon you hated from any of the PMD games and why?
Silver Trench, aka the Silver Shithole. Yet another bland water dungeon, 99f of identical tilesets, you need to do multiple deep dives because some recruits are only found as deep as 80 floors in, and there's no food in it at all so bring that Tight Belt.
>>Why do you think pokemon can only evolve in specific places like luminous cave instead of anywhere like mainline?
Something something concentrated energy idk it's obviously just a gameplay abstraction. Still better than getting asked to evolve every level like in Gates.
>>What would be the weakest possible explorers duo?
Phanpy/Eevee. Seriously they're so awful.
>>How dexterous do you think bird Pokémon like Fletchling, Pidgey, Unfezant, etc. are with their wings?
They can probably at least hold small things.

>>59086730
>Why do you think pokemon can only evolve in specific places like luminous cave instead of anywhere like mainline?
Arbitrary gameplay limitation. My head canon reason would be that evolution is extremely stressful/intense and these specific places make it much easier/safer.

Here's the bird. I wish I'd gotten a screen tablet sooner.

>>59086730
>>Is there a specific dungeon you hated from any of the PMD games and why?
i'm gonna use 'hated' as the reasoning for the answering of this question because as a kid i hated amp plains and temporal tower. i'd say aegis cave these days for a boring answer
>>Why do you think pokemon can only evolve in specific places like luminous cave instead of anywhere like mainline?
technically in gates they can just evolve in dungeons
but the real answer is who knows. i like the idea that there're specialised areas to do it though, makes it feel more special
>>What would be the weakest possible explorers duo?
something with phanpy in it.
>>How dexterous do you think bird Pokémon like Fletchling, Pidgey, Unfezant, etc. are with their wings?
i imagine some level of dexterity enough to hold things but not crazy

>>59089556
anything with silver wind (venomoth, beautifly) or ominous wind (masquerain)
alternatively, something like seel with powder snow/blizzard+hail
a pokemon with status effects like thunder wave, wrap, agility, can work for catching outlaws (e.g. dratini)

Very good intro, and a really neat choice of pokemon and gimmick. All of the guildmembers were written well and accurately, nice job! My only complaint is that it would be good to put spaces between your paragraphs so it's a bit easier to read.

>>59087294
Welcome to the guild! This feels like a pretty straightforward intro, but his gimmick is fun. The part where he gets knocked out in a dungeon but immediately goes back in for revenge was amusing. There’s certainly potential for more stories involving this idea. Team Brave could probably help with his berserker tendencies... They’ve been dealing with the same issues too, conveniently enough. Bill the counselor could be helpful as well. Speaking of characters, I appreciate the cameos. Mustel’s scene in particular was a nice, believable way to teach the protagonist a little about his new species.

I saw quite a few grammatical errors/typos, but I won’t harp on about it, because the story was still perfectly readable. I might suggest using a different format for the character’s thoughts, like italicizing them or putting them in single quotes, and not mixing them into the middle of narration like you do now. It’d be a bit easier to read than the format you use here, and more in line with standard practice for writing thoughts. But you can stick with this style if you want, as long as you keep it consistent.

Regarding his extreme mood swings, I feel like his reaction to the problem was perhaps too muted, and he should have been more bothered by it (same with Lliam, who witnessed an episode firsthand). Also, the progression of his shifting moods possibly could’ve been portrayed a bit better. For example, when he follows Lliam around, you tell us that he’s frustrated, but you don’t really show him gradually becoming angrier. That makes his eventual outburst feel too abrupt, in my opinion.

Regardless, it’s a solid start for the character, and I hope to see more out of you.

>>59090911
Having reviewed a draft, I can confirm this is kino. The setting, writing, and artwork are all very cool.

WIP for Mond's reference sheet. He's a Roaring Moon now.

Mond was once a normal Pokemon, but was trapped in a magnagate till time became a blur. He was spat out one day with a new, monstrous form. Though he is strong, his body takes a toll on him and is slowly breaking down. Maybe it wasn't ever meant for this world?

Despises humans for their meddling.

I know a lot of work went into this, but it would be cool if this wasn't merely a one-and-done; it'd be nice to get another view of this universe from a different perspective. Otherwise, great work and congratulations on getting this out, anons!

So, I've been working on writing my intro story for almost half a year (and by that I mean I wrote around 80% of it and then it was left in limbo for most of that time), but could never find energy to finish it.
Turns out someone showing up out of the blue with a finished intro is a pretty good motivator to do that.

Nice story, I enjoyed the two's banter, and the guild can always use more shithead prankster characters like Lint. I do enjoy Amo's monologues too and think they were well-written even if they make YIIK music play in my head. I can't imagine writing those for every story though, but I guess you can always swap to Lint's POV if you get tired of writing them.

Unsure, they'd be up against all of the starters, who are engeniered to be likeable. At the same time, there aren't many off picks to compete with.

If Gible was added to Sky, I'd imagine it'd be such a normie pick that we'd be making fun of it.

Nice work, anon, and glad to have you here. That was a good read. The ending of the story got a chuckle out of me. You have some cool story hooks with Thunderhead, and the two of them being on the opposite end of the continent, so I'm interested in seeing more about them in the future.

Read this as well. The issue Lint brought up was interesting to read about. It's a good use of the species and a human's relation to it. As a Solosis, Amo forms an cool thematic parallel - how he could also be seen as constantly 'wearing' something.
The second to last two paragraphs may have some errors with the italics formatting.
I also do have to agree with one of the above anons. Amo's monologues are somewhat YIIK-like. That's not a bad thing.

Thank you for including personality blurbs.

Hello I am skimming through the rec'd romhack titles list in the OP as I am in a phase of playing my DS a bit more. I've played half of EoS and SMD to the end but lost my file. Anything on DS/3DS with a decent-enough story without overtly difficult combat would be cool if anybody has any commentary.

I can recommend Seal of Ancients, Waves of Nostalgia, and Strung up by Sketches. The Clover hacks mentioned by >>59116328 are Team Misfits, The Weather up There, and Togetic's Very Special Episode. Though I would recommend skipping Team Misfits unless you really enjoy the writing of the other hacks, it's much shorter and less polished.

Hey fellow human PMD enjoyers! I have returned following the completion of a 1-year recalibration cycle, which was necessitated after receiving unexpected input from a rogue post asking for instructions on confections.

As you may recall from my previous creative output (https://arch.b4k.dev/vp/thread/57637217/#57657120), I have successfully produced the second chapter.
The protagonist has been designated "Gropt" and the narrative now features amplified stakes, Clover Guild interactions, and a reconfigured tone that appeals to a wider audience.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback inputs to further refine my writing capabilities during the next recalibration cycle.

I haven't played Sky in years and started a new playthrough. This is what I've come up with for the partner and leader:

Astra (Shinx and partner)
>Parents were explorers who specialized in rescue missions, traversing the land using celestial navigation. They were formerly part of the Luxray pride in Amp Plains, but fled after rising tensions with the leader. When his mother was with child, they agreed to name one of their cubs Astra (but they ended up having all boys).
>As a child, Astra learned the arts of celestial navigation and mapping from his parents, making him an ideal candidate for guiding Pokemon trough uncharted territories (although he is a bit of a scaredy cat who has never explored without them). One of these expeditions are where he found the relic fragment, which he considers his most sacred treasure (and a memento of his adventures with his parents).
>He eventually passes on his own navigation skills to the hero, culminating in her learning the "Map Surveyor" IQ skill. His personality can be described as introverted and clingy, the latter of which being annoying to her, who would prefer to have some space once in a while.
>Astra gets made fun of by Team Skull for having a girly name and has been given the nickname "Ass" by them

Nerine (Vulpix and leader):
>More of an extrovert who has an easier time bonding with other Pokemon. Although her mind is sharp, she is an amnesiac with no evident skills, often questioning her role as leader.
>As a human she heard stories about Ninetales that were passed on through word of mouth, loving them so much that she knew them by heart. Subconsciously, this may have had an effect on what Pokemon she transformed into
>(Later on in the journey): Nerine loves recalling tales of her expeditions to other Pokemon. While some Pokemon such as Bidoof are eager to listen, others have fallen asleep due to the long-windedness of them.

Thoughts? I'm not a writer; I just wanted to justify having this basic team for my playthru

>>59130333
I'll put aside the really basic picks you've got there that I like the backstory you gave to the partner. Having a pokemon with night vision know celestial navigation is a smart pick!

>They were formerly part of the Luxray pride
kek

>>59130384
Thank you! The Shinx's line night vision is exactly what I had in mind when giving this skill to the partner. I admittedly put more work into them than the leader, which shows.
I'm looking forward to playing with this duo, as I've never used them and think they're very cute together.

>>59130333
A lot of people here are going to give you shit for your team choice, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. The personalities are relatively simple, to fit within the framework of the game, but they have a couple neat minor twists. I did think the leader was a bit less developed than the partner, as you mentioned.
At the end of the day, you've clearly stated your intentions, so as long as you're happy with it, what does it matter what anyone else thinks?

>>59130416
Part of it was challenging myself to actually write something so I could justify having this team to myself. I sought out some opinions from others because, again, the pick is very basic and I wanted them to stand out a bit from all the other Vulpix/Shinx picks out there. Thank you for your input, it really means a lot.

>>59130459
>so I could justify having this team to myself
If you want them as your team just do it.
Shinx/pix was my first team when I played sky at release, have fun with it. Magnitude and earthquake WILL test your patience.

>>59130333
Based, and you’ll get no shame from me for your mon choices. I should do this next time I play too, bring some roleplaying back to the roleplaying game.
I agree Nerine needs a little more meat on her bones though.

What even counts as pausing? I wanna give that challenge a go but not if it disqualifies the run because I had to lock the computer or put it to sleep, or pause the emulator.

File: ches noah.png (572 KB)

572 KB PNG

>>59132339
I think it is, yeah.

>>59132794
Pausing the emulator counts as pausing. It's detected just like save states, in that it checks the emulator's RTC for significant time discrepancies.
Suspending a computer will do that I think...

If you're interested, I can try to make a patch to disable this check, as I read enough of the code to hack my way through it, anyway. This challenge is already awful enough as is, not being able to pause adds very little to it.

>>59132938
What's the point of measuring time in a turn based game? Also isn't that challenge a 99f dungeon with some crap every 10 dungeons? Why would you force people to do it in one sitting?

>>59102551
Why is cyndaquil still even in the guild? The stolen meme of them was sad since day one.

>>59132969
It just measures how much "real time" is taken between each console "tick", any meddling with that and it just means someone used save states.

>Why would you force people to do it in one sitting?
You can cheese the entire thing with save states.

It's just a side-effect of the only viable method of detecting save states.

>>59135967 (Me)
Also, it's not like you can't leave the emulator running (and e.g. lock the computer/turn the screen off) to take a break or go to bed. It's just a bit less convenient.

Is the switch remake a good entry? I'm not sure why but I bounced off the gba and DS entries back when they were new (could be I was much younger and less tolerant of roguelike BS), not sure if I should try again.

It makes changes to the gameplay to make it more accessible and less annoying, but some of these changes are questionable to say the least, like removing the regular attack while increasing Elixir spawn rates like crazy, or the Rare Quality system that leads to some broken stuff that trivializes resource management.
Then there is the new artstyle that some find okay while others hate. Story-wise it adds absolutely nothing.

I wouldn't recommend starting with the remake since it is quite different from the other games, but if you are afraid that you won't like them due to too much BS, you can start with DX.

>>59138683
>removing the regular attack while increasing Elixir spawn rates like crazy
it actually makes sense. you quickly realize when you tackle lv 1 99-floor dungeons
>all enemies start at full PP and eventually get devastating moves like sonic boom, earthquake, magnitude, spore, silver wind, etc. furthermore, every floor has at least 1 overleveled enemy (and it only gets worse as you proceed), which renders regular attacks practically useless
>meanwhile you only have a puny 10~20 PP per move to last you the entire dungeon, and monster houses will quickly burn through your resources
>elixirs are a rarity. don't count on getting more than 3 or 4. this turns several types of traps (PP-zero, sticky, grimy) into huge, crippling obstacles

>Have cool idea for new characters
>Unsure if I should follow it or just return to my original characters

There should still be a guide in the OP that details what seeds give what types for Natural Gift. I know Reviser also grants Ground.

Have you ever replayed a PMD game, or have you done only one playthrough?

>>59140155
I’ve played through rescue team and explorers probably around 5 times each and super just once

>>59140155
What the other anon said, I've played through the main story of both rescue team and explorers a handful of times, and the 3ds/switch games each once (gates, super, dx).
I've never finished the postgame on any of them except Gates (really short) and Super where I recruited everyone.

>>59140155
Got halfway trough the postgame in Red, got all the legendaries in Blue and DX, recruited every pokemon in Darkness, did all the postgame content in Sky, beated Gates without lingering for too long in the postgame, and 100%'d Super twice (the second time with changed starters)

Though I've also played enough EoS randomizers and hacks that hardly change shit to last me a lifetime.

>>59140294
What's the point of an EoS randomizer?

>game already has random layouts for floors
>changing a dungeon's pokemon isn't that special
>different item spawns only really means "wow i might get golden seeds"
>random movesets? you're probably just sticking with the closest thing to reliable STAB you get anyways

>>59140822
IDK man, it was like, 3 to 4 years ago at this point? Don't ask me.

>>59139075
Is there an observable difference between the lookalike item's power? Bulbapedia seems to think so, it's not in our guide here. I tested it out myself with Reviser/Reviver Seeds held but the ranges were too wide for me to get meaningful data.

>>59141292
I just opened Skytemple to check to be certain, this info is buried within the Symbols menu for those curious.

Reviser Seed is Ground type with 10 power. Reviver Seed is listed as 1 power. In practice I find that base power doesn't matter all that much in Sky, but if you must use Natural Gift Phanpy, you're better off swapping that Reviver for a Reviser once you find one. Not like the latter's got any other use, after all.
Interestingly, Plain Seed is listed as a 15 power Normal type attack.

a gen 10 PMD would be about the only thing that could sell me on a Switch 2. And I still would wait for such a thing's release to see if it wasn't shit since our last good entry was Sky (we can count DX if you want but let's be real).

>shitty nugen pokemon designs (exclusively? depending on what you mean by gen 10 pmd)
>shitty 3d graphics
that sounds abysmal, that's almost 50% of the reason pmd is good absent, the soulful pixel graphics and the soulful old pokemon designs. all that's left would be the story and gameplay, and there's no way they'd let a good story get in a pokemon game nowadays and gameplay is right out.

>>59143596
I agree with you but I just wanna feel something, Gates/Super were meh and I've never had interest in replaying them. DX not being a sprite-based game didn't take away my enjoyment of it and at this point I think PMD is the only way I'd be able to tolerate nu-pokemon designs. And no not exclusively ofc, but if a PMD were to be announced at any point going forward it'd be post Wind/Waves and have mons/mechanics that line up with that gen.

I'm actually much more open to Explorers DX, I should've just said that to begin with. After that once we're in the 2030's just let it rest, I don't think anyone would hold interest in a new PMD or god forbid a Gates to Infinity DX at that point.

>>59143816
>'m actually much more open to Explorers DX
Which again, would just be explorers but strictly worse, like what red/blue DX was. Sounds awful. Demakes suck, and would especially suck for pmd.
If it were possible I'd love a pmd with gen 6 mons and megas, but with sprites and a real story. I know it would never happen, but that would be my ideal "next" entry in pmd. I have a soft spot for Gates because I played it so much as a kid, but the flaws of 3d, especially the BARE MINIMUM EFFORT 3d that gates, super, and dx were, just makes it impossible to enjoy to the same level as sky.

Also since you said you've never used 4chan before, know that this board is getting quite full, so in a couple days or so, a new one will have to be created. The link to the new one will be posted here, however.

I was wondering how the hero in EoS was transformed into a Pokemon in the first place, so I turned it into another creative writing exercise.

Evolving the hero/partner always immediately sucked the soul out of the game for me. Just losing the wake up animation at the start of the day was all it took

Very cool. I like the idea of the transformation as a type of cosmic rebirth. One upside of amnesia is that you don’t have to remember your horrible death…
