    Should I bother rerolling ny save for mudkip? For some context I'm going to grab a heracross as a team member. 2 weak to fire probably isn't a good plan

    Writing Prompt Wednesday: Nomination Thread

    Greetings, members of the r/MysteryDungeon writing guild! ♪ This is where your prompts for the upcoming Writing Prompt Wednesday (WPW) can be submitted for nomination!

    Now then, let me explain the process. This nomination thread will be set to "contest mode" for the next 48 hours. During that time, each user will be able to submit a single writing prompt of their own making in a comment. Other users will be able to vote for the prompt or prompts that they deem worthy simply by upvoting them. The comment with the highest vote count by the end of this period will be submitted as Wednesday's prompt, courtesy of me!

    The format of your submission should be as follows: a one-sentence title at the beginning of your comment and, optionally, a line break followed by your description of the prompt.

    It is important to keep in mind that editing your comment after submitting it will cause it to not be considered for that week's vote, even if it has received the highest vote count. Also, prompts that have the potential to lead into NSFW territory will not be permitted. Any attempts to tarnish the guild's image will not be tolerated! Squawk!

    (...Apologies. I almost got carried away there.)

    Once the 48-hour voting period has passed, this thread will revert to the default sort and the ranking of the prompts will be revealed to the entire guild. Perhaps you can use this information to try improving upon a previous prompt, or coming up with a prompt that has a high chance of winning. All of this is up to you.

    That is all. We expect everyone to contribute some great content to the guild!

    Trying to recruit Mew for a month now and still no luck.

    I must have gone through this dungeon about 20 times this month and he still won’t join my team. My main character has the friendly trait, I’m wearing a friend bow and I use an inviting orb… still no luck 😟 How long did it take you all to get Mew on your team??

    Did anyone else think grovyle was the player character from the future?

    My first pokemon game was explorers of time when i was around 7, and since i played as a treecko, i thought grovyle was my character from the future that had evolved, and he would change depending on what pokemon you picked, but i realized later in the story that that wasnt true. I also remember my partner was a torchic i named 'torchica' i thought i was so clever lol

    What are the question marks?

    I assume it has something to do with rescues, since I haven’t done them on my Wii U

    Rescue DX - The best way to recruit Kecleon

    I've gotten most of the Pokemon recruited, but the one that's keeping my roster from full completion is Kecleon. I know he's difficult, and that he's basically the walking incarnation of the sign “Looters will be shot. Survivors will be banned.” But still, it's the only challenge I haven't completed.

    And before you say anything, "don't do it" is not an acceptable strategy.

    Would u play an Remastered of PMD sky?

    I'm currently playing the PMD DX and I love the art style and the Gameplay. Still I've the question in mind if an sky remastered would also be as good as DX or better. And if then, what would u change that this remastered sky is an perfect game for you?

    Recruited Kecleon!

    After a long time I finally bothered to recruit all 492 Pokemon and that meant kecleon was one of them. I was definitely suprised by how lucky I was it didn't even take 5 minutes! Anyway with all being recruited now I am gonna clear zero isle north and centre next to get that on the adventure log. After that its destiny tower which let's say I have had a lot of problems with dying on floor 80+ at least 20 times now... with my worst one being 95 to a bronzong but that's already been 4 years ago haha! Time to improve my skill and knowledge a bit more!

    If you were to expand the starter roster in Gates to Infinity, what starters do you think be good for the game? Excluding the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh Starters since they obviously should've been put into Gates to Infinity.

    Let's say that they expanded it to have all 649 Pokemon that were in the first 5 generations up to that point

    Starters That Don’t Need Evolution?

    Nostalgia has hit me hard and I’ve been in a mood to play a mystery dungeon game again. I’ve chosen to play through DX since I never have before.

    I wanna keep my starter Pokémon’s Scarf. Which got me asking the question which starter Pokémon don’t benefit much if at all from evolving? I know I don’t have to evolve any of them, but I’d like to have the best of both worlds. Which would be to keep my scarf while also not feeling like my Pokémon isn’t living up to their full potential.
