I haven't played one of these since the first on GBA I think, I was always turned off by the fact that you can't evolve. Since they're advertising megas on the cover, has this one changed that?

You can evolve in any of the PMD games, just not until the story is over.

SMD is no different.

Yes and No.

You can evolve at your final form, but only Temporarily at 2.5 Boss fights (One of them is the first stage/form of the Final boss) and you go trough the final dungeon as your fully evolved form. Otherwise you stay as a your first base form for the whole game until postgame, and you'll return to your previous first form after doing the parts you temporarily evolve.

You can't evolve until post-game, but there's WAY less emphasis on your starter in this one. You don't even have to bring him during non-story missions.

For example, the game hands you a free Charizard early on. You can just play as him during non-story missions. Or Sylveon. Or anything else you happen to have.

And the game rewards you for using a lot of different pokemon.

Your recruits still act independently, level up on their own (the mechanic for this is global exp but canonically they're doing their own thing), they become unavailable every so often especially when they're much stronger than you, and you regularly get a batch of them that are highly motivated (meaning they gain 3x exp that also applies globally).

I didn't even have it for a full day before I lost track of it. On my birthday, no less.

Do missions, you get him by connecting with someone else, who connects you to him.

Since this is a PSMD thread, I'll ask my questions here.

When will I get a Girafarig, Tyrantrum, Nidoking, Lapras, and Zebstrika as playable characters? I'm just doing random missions right now hoping that they eventually show up, but since the grid is the same for everyone, there's got to be an easier way, right?

Are movesets the same in this game as they are in the main titles? Since this is sixth gen, I'm guessing it's going to go off X/Y and ORAS, but which one of those two since movesets are slightly different between those games (such as Girafarig learning psychic MUCH earlier in X/Y than in other games)?

I'm currently hoarding my gold bars. Is there a reliable source of them and what should I prioritize spending them on? TMs?

Speaking of TMs, I saw somewhere something about permanent TMs. Can any TM be permanent or are they HMs only or what?

Is there a limit on how many stat boosters you can use on a single pokemon?

Holy crap my parties seem weak if I don't take one of the level 40+ pokemon with me. I'm on the Krookodile on Revelation Mountain chapter and my starters are levels 23 and 24 (Turtwig and Totodile), some of the enemy pokemon are steamrolling my four person team. Is this just a case of get gud? Should I go to a random dungeon and run around fighting things?
