Hey /vp/ normally a lurker here, but I can't decide whether or not to get Gates to Infinity when I pick up my Pikanips 3DSXL this weekend. I really want a pokemon game to tide me over until the gloriousness that is X & Y come out, but I've never played a side game before. What's your thoughts on side games? I've already downloaded the demo and it's ok, but I'm wondering if it gets better... Are any worth playing?

If you've got a 3DS now, you can play the demo from the Nintendo eShop. I have it on mine and I'm tempted to buy it. The demo's made me pull out my Explorer's of Time cart and play it.

Also fun if you love dungeon crawlers.

as I've said, I've played the demo, but it was really, really easy. Compared to previous Mystery Dungeon games will it get harder? Or will it be around this level of difficulty for the whole game. Plus, do pokemon evolve in this game? Plus is they any way to get other pokemon to join your team? Or are you stuck with your first two starters?

Sorry, didn't read the OP all the way through. My fault. Did you try out the Magnagate/AR thing? I've done a few and the dungeon's were harder then the story line provided.

I played BRT and EOS and loved both. I'm going to buy Gates to Infinity game as soon as it comes out in Europe.

Well the games are considerably more story-heavy than the main series, and Sky's story actually had some emotional weight to it.

My favorite spin-off series personally, but you might as well wait for the reviews to come through considering it's out in two days to get feedback from people who've actually played it

I know there aren't many pokémon in this one and it has been casualized, but is the story as good as the previous ones? does it still have sad moments?

From what I've heard, the story took a hatchet as well.

I'm disappointed until it's confirmed if the retail version has genders or not.

It has a good story, but the gameplay can be repetitive if you don't enjoy that sort of thing.

Previous ones were tedious, not hard. Grinding levels and items was needed, and not being a dumbass too. So easy maybe not, less tedious/grindy I believe so.

Although that compared to a "real" dungeon crawler, previous games were already toned down, or kids would throw the console in frustration.

If you liked the demo, go for it. Worst case scenario, you don't like it, and you sell it.

Most comments on the story from importers and supposed reviewers have said it's at least on the level of Explorers, some say even better. I know there was an interview near reveal where the developers said they were surprised at how well received the plot in Explorers was, and that they were going to try their best to surpass it. Whether they did or not, play it yourself.
