Trust me, it gets a lot of flak for that from me 10 minutes ago, Glen-i said: For me, the entire point is that you go into a new dungeon, scout it out and figure out which Pokémon are going to give you a hard time and prepare for it. That's a good way to approach it. Hadn't thought of it that way. I'll do the same. Go in and get wrecked by Pokémon and then prepare for next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seeing as the top screen in Blue Rescue Team is exclusively used for the map and team stats, it's one of those games that works really well with the Bottom Screen Focus layout.

Haven't been this hyped for a Switch game since Smash Ultimate! Probably shouldn't mention that I'm currently wearing a Marowak shirt as well...

Man, it's gonna be tough for me to relearn all the Pokémon (and attacks and items...) in English. I've only played up to Gen II and I did so with German copies of the games. Anyway, after looking it up I now know what Pokémon Marowak is. Edited March 5, 2020 by drahkon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See, that got me curious, and I looked up Marowak's German name. That certainly is something. It's no Schiggy, but it's still amusing from an English viewpoint. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you guess what Persian is called in German? Yeah, you're right...Snobilikat. And what about Drowzee? It's obviously Traumato. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) OK, 7 hour night PMD binge done. As much as I'd love to carry on and hear more delicious remixes, I need sleep. You know how I said there were 6 more milestones than the original game? Spoiler I was wrong, there's at least 7. There's a new medley of music from Gates to Infinity that I stumbled across and the thing is almost 7 minutes long! This soundtrack is straight up impeccable.

Posted March 6, 2020 My copy arrived! I've just unsealed it, checked out the awesome interior of the box and the cartridge is now in the case of current 'to play' games. I could start playing it now, but then I probably wouldn't get anything done today... it is very tempting though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 6, 2020 Welp, I've played this for 3 hours straight with a short lunch break. It's quite addictive. Haven't advanced the story much...but that's how I roll Reached Bronze rank and "caught" a few Pokémon. I think Machop was a horrible choice. He's quite useless compared to Psyduck, for example. The latter has a long range attack which is kind of OP. Machop rarely gets the chance to attack... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably explains why I got bodied by a Teddiursa. Fury Swipes is terrifying in Mystery Dungeon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And here I thought it's necessary to rank up a lot I just keep doing requests from the bulletin board. The first time I fought against a stronger monster (the one's that are marked as such), I owned it. After that I've been destroyed during every new encounter with one of them.

As you progress, you'll get harder dungeons, which give harder jobs that give more rank points. So there's not much need to grind the ranks this early on.

The majority of the game takes place post credits; that’s when the kiddie gloves come off and the ranks start to really matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) Welp, my entire party got wiped out in 1 hit from a single Magnitude. 100 damage at level 29 is no laughing matter! Still, a good opportunity for me to try the rescue features out in this game. Edited March 6, 2020 by Glen-i Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
