I have a problem with actually keeping a good stock on Oran berries and tiny reviver seeds. I think I might be under-leveled.

Well what level are you and how much berries and reviver seeds did you burn?

Alright. I'll probably go through Genesect first and save MewTwo for when I'm more stronger.

I'm at The Void area thing and I don't have a way to go shopping. I'm at like level 24... and only have 2 tiny reviver seeds that I kept in my box. -.-

I had two oran berries as well...

I wish the story didn't progress so rapidly.

I'm close to level 30. I'm gonna raise my Connection Orb rank some more and level up. Then I'm gonna go after Genesect soon.

Would I be correct in saying that nobody has claimed the 1000th post yet?

If so, I'd like to nominate Zorua for the next mascot.

I believe golden777 has claimed the 1k post.

I did say this before that if you're at a point where you can't shop for items or couldn't find a shop in the dungeon, you can always use the pelipper island for your shopping needs.

Mewtwo uses recover move so That's why I recommend using the pre-set team of the pokemon i mentioned to help you there and not to mention the items you need to bring. You don't need to revive medicham or other pokemon who can use recover after banning recover by eating the ban seed.

Thank you!

Zorua sounds cool!

^^ I'll try that at one point. First I'm gonna level my team a bit more.

Well There's a exp share mechanic which was part of the gates to infinity mechanics so any inactive pokemon that are in the preset team will get exp.

Grinding would be a good idea as you work up your expedition rank.

That's what I'm gonna do.

This may sound stupid but is the exp share automatic?

Yeah. The exp share is automatic so it affects all of inactive pokemon and the pokemon in the preset team you created will also get exp. If you haven't noticed your pokemon's levels, That's how pokemon will gain levels regardless if they go on a adventure or not.

Ok good. So when I'm on a tougher course, I can bring stronger leveled up Pokemon than my starter and partner.

I'm not sure if motivated pokemon helps the inactive team members to level up.

I get motivated Pokemon often. So if it's a Unkown, I bring it on my team and grind in a easy stage.

You can also bring a motivated unown to a tougher dungeon to get more exp. Usually Mysterious geoglyph is a good place to grind at.

Yeah that might be the best place. I'll give that a try next time I get a motivated one.

Cleared the Mysterious geoglyph. Man the last floor was a surprise! Good thing I got through with it. It is a good level up course.

Now I'm going after Entei which should be easy. Not sure who I should go to next after. I gotta raise my rank a bit more. I'm already at Platinum rank.

Entei doesn't require a fight at post-game. You'll encounter heatran on the way, but he'll run away after the 1st attack so i may suggest bringing petrifying and slumber wands first before going after entei and heatran.

Like I said if you encounter a pokemon that would run away to the stairs that fast, you can always block out the exits by commanding your team members and assign their tactics to wait on those exits.

I don't think you can fight raikou and suicune as well, but you'll get access to their dungeons after connecting to entei.

Alright that's good.


I got a bunch of Slumber Wands and Petrify Wands, so getting Heatran should be easy. I'll put Buizel on my team as well.

I've got a question. I've played the first two generations of PMD and skipped Gates to Infinity because everything I heard about it made it sound like an awful game. From what I've gathered, this new one has a different recruitment method based on doing missions instead of defeating them in dungeons, which doesn't really sound appealing to me.

Despite this, if I liked the first two, would you guys recommend this new one (I forgot what it's called lol) to me? I'm kinda shying away because of mechanics that make it sound more complex like wands and looplets or whatever they're called, and it seems to have removed some things I liked about the older games, like Gummis and the old recruitment mechanic.

(On a different note, I hate that Picross game they put out. It's so easy to get absorbed in it just to get blocked by the ridiculous Picrite barriers they have around everything! )

Super Mystery Dungeon is great! I highly recommend it. Great story plot and the gameplay is amazing. It gets tougher though as you progress in the game.


I got Articuno in Super Mystery Dungeon. Now to get the rest of the birds.

Well As supersonic55 said, it gets tougher as you progress in the game. As I mentioned this before, You won't get the time to grind, farm, and make money as the story progress.

There are no bands and ribbons so you'll be using looplets and emeras instead. Looplets will work the same way as bands and ribbons from the previous games. You can attach emeras as many times as you want, but replacing and detaching will make the attached emera to disappear so think twice about your choices. What you want the most are Trap Proof and Type Bulldozers. There are lot of traps running around, but mostly you'll hate the PP Leech (or PP-Zero) Traps. The 2 most useful traps are Apple Trap which it turns one of your items into big apple so only use the trap if you're low on food and the other is emera swap so only use if you don't like the emera you want, but the emera and the effect is chosen random. If you got lucky charm emera then that emera is automatically targeted for emera swap and crush traps

Mechanics from Gates to Infinity apply which are all normal attacks do a fixed damage of 5. Exp Share is on so any inactive pokemon from the team including those that are in the preset team will get exp. Moves can be powered up, but you can't use one of those type training dojos or gyms to help improve the moves like in gates to infinity so you have to use power, PP, and accuracy drinks to improve the moves however these drinks will only take effect if you used 1 of the moves first and then you use the power, PP, and accuracy drinks after using 1 move. Power and accuracy drinks have no effect on supporting moves so don't use the drinks for supporting moves.

As from the previous game, gates to infinity, there are gold bars, but can be hard to farm. I would suggest having a excavation looplet to get gold bars. They have the same effect as gold scope, but not only gold bars you'll find also random items as well.

There Are alliance moves, but you have to plan the moves carefully and when you will use them. Usually it's a good idea to use alliance moves on a boss pokemon, but if you got wide-range moves, you can assign them in alliance move and use it to clear the monster house. Your belly will go down faster each time you use an alliance move and this affects the whole team member participating in the alliance move. The warning side is that don't use earthquake, surf, and muddy water as they do damage to your team members as well.

There are many easter eggs in the game as you talk to the pokemon, but you'll see as you talk to them.

You'll be burning berries, reviver seeds, and elixirs very fast including the PPs of the moves as well.

Yes just like what Justin said, you'll be burning Reviver Seeds, Berries, and Elixers very fast. Try to save as many as you can.

You won't really have much time to grind for money either.

As you go into some dungeons, there will be hail and sandstorms. Be careful with those.


Anyway, I was finally able to connect with Ludicolo last night and finally got Meloetta!
