Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers Of Sky
Anyone else played it yet?
I've been playing it extensively recently. During the first personality test I got a Riolu (WOOT!) and promptly chose Vulpix as a partner. Then I got to playing the game and seeing how it differed from the original.
The storyline is exactly the same up until you defeat Dialga. After this, and before the whole fiasco with Darkrai starts, you get whisked off on a mission involving Shaymin at Sky Peak, which is actually incredibly easier than first hinted at, being basically 10 dungeons in a row without 5 floors each, finishing off with a boss battle against a horde of Grimer and Muk at the top, being one of the easiest bosses there is if you have a Pokemon which knows Earthquake.
While I like the Mystery Dungeon games, there are some qualms I have with it. The Special Episodes are, in my opinion, mind numbingly easy. However, they do expand on the games story and history a lot more, so they aren't an entirely pointless endeavor.
Also, the format of wonder mails have changed, so the codes for Explorers Of Darkness can't be used in what is essentially the same game.
Still, being the Pokemon nerd I am, I'm addicted to it and busy constructing my "perfect" team, which consists of Lucario (With Earthquake), Flygon, Rotom, and a Metagross with a handy exclusive item which makes Ground type moves heal him.

Re: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers Of Sky
I've played it, I had to retake the tet a few times until I got riolu, then I chose charmander as my partner.
I also played darkness so I know exactly what happens, right now I just found out grovlye stole the third time gear and I have to go explore the northern desert.
Is it even possible for legendaries to join your team? I know regigigas can but what about dialga, palkia, and arceus?

I have red rescue team and explorers of darkness. I can't beat dialga in darkness thought. Any tips?
Reviver seeds, sleep seeds, Vile Seed on Dialga, Violent Seed on your self, and a bunch of good ground or fighting attacks.
When I last battled Dialga, I had a whole page of Reviver Seeds

Same for me in explorers of darkness. Don't have explorers of sky yet... I used a whole inventory of revivers because of how little I trained XD
This signature has too many lines.

PMD really should've been a miniseries. So much potential, wasted....

You can get all Pokemon to join you. Some require a Secret Slab or Enigma Part though.
Also, keep Force Palm on Riolu. It destroys Dialga, and for me it almost always paralyses everything as well.

Ya, killed Dialga in 3 hits, all from focus blast, it was kind of sad.

Try getting some stun or crosseye seeds in the upper part of temporal tower.
EDIT: level 50 riolu and level 46 vulpix and Im already fighting palkia :p

Re: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers Of Sky
I'm Master * Rank on Explorers Of Sky.
I want to finish beating Palkia and Darkrai so I can evolve my Riolu. I want to get a Beldum, because of an exclusive item I found at the Croagunk Swap Shop, the Meta Torc. For those who don't know, it makes Beldum, Metang and Metagross absorb damage from Ground Type moves to heal HP. (So Riolu using Earthquake heals it at the same time that its inflicting damage on enemies. I also want something else with Levitate and decent power (Currently considering either Rotom, Flygon or Latios).

I was level 32. However, due to Force Palm paralysing him, I didn't even take damage.

Re: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers Of Sky
I figured out how to get as many revive seeds as you want! Go to the marowak dojo and complete a maze thats not the final maze, you can only get oran berries and escape orbs. Then go to the wynaut place and recylce 2 escape orbs for a reviver seed. It's really easy.

No. You just have nowhere near as much experience and your team have a type disadvantage.
I first got Red Rescue team about 15 days after it came out.

Re: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers Of Sky
FINALLY got my Riolu evolved.
Now it has Force Palm, Aura Sphere, Extremespeed and Earthquake.
Now all I want is a mission with a Trapinch recruit, for my eventual team (Lucario, Empoleon and Flygon).
The pokemon I actually use atm are a level 52 Lucario and a level 23 Prinplup. I've also got the Marine Resort unlocked, so lots of gummis for IQ and stat bonuses.

So I'm guessing you pretty much beat the game.
Can you give me an English Translation of Special Episode 5? I've seen the entire video on Youtube, it's just that it's all in Japanese.
