Previous thread:
>>42989096 Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX (a remake of the original PMD games, Red and Blue Rescue Team) was released for Switch on March 6, 2020. A free demo is available in the eshop if you’re still not sure about getting the full game. Progress carries over into the full game.
Also, doing the simple tutorials in Makuhita's Dojo in the demo can net you good rewards, including a gold ribbon that sells for big money, so be sure to check that out.

>>42994265 accessories and personalisations like reasonable hairstyles (for species where it is applicable) are both fine in my opinion. maybe even something based on their history like "hey this is my torterra, he grew up in a desert so he has cacti on his back instead of an oak tree"
>>42994282 these are the most common. slight color variations are nice to me too, as long as it's not something overboard like an orange+red shaymin or something.

>>42994282 Making original characters is harder when most of the Pokemon can't be distinguished from one-another by subtle facial features. It's where actions need to make up for the lack of distinguishable being.
A human-Pokemon character can make one's self stand out though unusual methods that are atypical of their species but would be natural for a human. A human Pikachu might prefer to stand on two legs even when walking, or a Cubone that removes their helmet frequently as they have no sentimental attachment to it. Pokemon with sufficient dexterity can also use tools that other species normally use such as Delphox sticks. That is not to say that non-human Pokemon can't also be creative and resourceful, but those traits are especially common in humans.

What linked moves are you guys using? I'm trying to get a feel for what's too much or not enough since I didn't do much linking in the earlier games. So far I've concluded I should link moves with:>the same range (or at least not a far range with a move that only hits the front) >similar PP to avoid faster delinking >buffs/debuffs before attacks

Are some of the starters shit or should I really just play as my favorites? I’m leaning towards skitty especially since there’s no way I could ever use one in the main series.

Oy lads, so I don't follow pokemon that much and haven't posted here on a regular basis since S&M; I just heard about this remake today. I trust you all to give a better-informed opinion than pretty much anywhere else, so would you say that it's worth getting this? I intend to try the demo; is it an accurate depiction of what the game is really like?

>>42996391 i've played the original long enough to 100% it twice over.
It's pretty good. It requires a different approach to the game than the originals however. Bosses are stronger, Skitty isn't disgustingly overpowered, and the changes since the original make it feel like a new experience. Recruitment changes are nice, as well.
You might not like friend areas being a menu now, or being unable to run around town as whatever you like.
