Speculation Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon

[BlackButterfree]

Serebii has started their coverage on Super Mystery Dungeon.

Oh, God... There's going to be spoilers EVERYWHERE, isn't there? :'(

 

[Osprey]

It has begun! If I wasn't going to play it for myself, I would be trying to find every spoiler possible.

 

[BigBadButterfree]

It's sad. I go on serebii for updates about the new Z stuff, but now I have to tread lightly to be sure I don't spoil anything from this game. I did see though that you can unlock music from last games. I'm already sold on that alone.

All of the spoilers are in spoiler tags, so I don't see the problem.

This will be my game of the year for sure! Spike Chunsoft really outdid themselves this time.

All the previous games' regions are in this game !

There's no longer random recruitment, but rather the Pokemon are set party-members basically you get through the story, completing quests, or just talking to them.

IMO, that sounds pretty neat and I think is a bit better than the old method of random recruitment. Gives you a more solid goal to work for when going for 100% completion. I might think differently with the game in my hand, but I'm seeing that as a positive direction. Probably for the best with so many Pokemon.

We can revisit Rescue Team, Explorers and Infinity's regions?! I never got to play GTI so this'll be perfect!

That sounds dumb to me. Aside from obligatory storyline recruitments (like Manaphy in Explorers) I should have the choice to recruit whatever Pokémon I'd like. My team of four is always carefully planned out and chosen. I don't like that you'd have to wait until certain points in the game to recruit one Pokémon.

I wish we can nickname the legendaries we recruit. One thing that disappointed me in GtI was that I couldn't nickname characters like Virizion, Keldeo, Espeon, Umbreon, Dunsparce, Emolga, etc. Explorers and Rescue Team at least let us name the legendaries we recruit!

 

[DarkTouya]

There are new enhanced versions of previous musics.

 

[Bolt Strike]

There's still one lingering question I have that they don't seem to be answering: how does Mega Evolution work in this game? It baffles me how this hasn't been covered yet.

EDIT: I found it in Serebii's coverage, but I have no idea how it works.

So you can't evolve you or your partner until after the epilogue?

I can't say I'm surprised, but I can say I'm disappointed.

Spoiler

There are some occasions where they can evolve in the main story when you fight a powerful boss

Well, considering that two of the available starters can only evolve once, that actually makes practical sense.

Spoiler

there's some kind of temporary evolution involved apparently, it's the best fix really while keeping the starters small and cute in the story

Is it true the levels are ridiculously low, I just saw someone defeat the boss while level 23.

"The boss?" D'you mean the final boss? Because I've beaten plenty of bossfights at level 20-ish in any game.

Meh, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I haven't watched any playthroughs (gotta have some surprises for myself, after all), but it's possible that the person you watched was a speedster who didn't take much of their time. The game was released... what, three days ago?

The final boss.

i mean, in PMD Blue and Red you can beat the Rayquaza sub-30 easily.
