Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX |OT| Red Team, Blue Team, Old Team, New Team
- Thread starter iFirez
- Start date
Any legendaries that have a mega/Primal appear to be two-phase fights now. Friend of mine got to Kyogre, beat them, and THEN they went Primal.
Since the game is out now can I get a confirmation that transferring a demo save doesn't give you any bonuses?
i didn't get any bonuses in addition to what i earned while playing the demo
EDIT: lemme just clarify that lol. all of the progress I made/items gained/levels earned, all transferred over. I didn't get any sort of "thanks for playing the demo, here have this" bonus
I finished the fugitives arc and now heading onwards!
Also the gold coins just came in so now I can get me Animal Crossing.

The gameplay loop is pretty satisfying; I've mostly been doing Bulletin Board jobs instead of progressing through the story.
Edit: It seems this was to my benefit. The game can get tough, so grinding to level up, get more items, etc. is really helpful.

Aww, the Pokémon talk like they do in the MD sequels
In the original MD, and only the original, every species had their own low HP and level up quotes, but it seems they're just using generic ones like later games used
Oh well

Yeah the Gravelrock ZL ZR thing is so annoying. I just want to use it. I don't want all my teammates chucking them the moment they sense someone's presence.
That sounds busted
Yeah I don't intend on even touching the Dojo.
Anyway, I gave munchlax an apple and the fucker didn't even join my team. Just a munch belt as always.
A munchlax symbol has appeared in the menu.
I'm heading to magma cavern soon.
I love the new gameplay loop of recruiting Pokémon throughout a dungeon, whether you've got their area or not. Has a really nice, building a posse feeling to it, and incentivises raising cash and carrying Wigglytuff orbs.
Couple that with my Treecko having the rare skill that makes it more likely to recruit the more team members you have, and I'm picking up four or five new team mates every time.

Magma Cavern hits with a pretty considerable difficulty spike.
Feels like the game is hitting super levels of difficulty now...
Until I recruted a Macargo, who is stomping anyone who looks at the team funny.

Also my Mudkip has that rare skill. Is it possible that the main Pokémon always has that skill, so that it is easy to recruit other members?
Now I have just recruited an Hitmonlee at level 20, while my team is around level 14. I must decide if to use it for Sinister Woods or not: on one side it would ease the final battle (which I remember not to be so easy), on the other side the dungeon itself maybe becomes too easy.
I don't believe so, but you can at least walk around with your partner still.
Where do you get more Wigglytuff orbs from? I don't have any left and can't find them in stores anywhere.
My only experience with Mystery Dungeon was with Chocobo Every Buddy last year (yes, I'm very late to the party), and I fell in love with Rescue Team DX.
5 hours in, I'm completely hooked by the gameplay loop. What a charming game and nice OST.

Aww yeah.
I always found it upsetting how they didn't do that in the original.
I got one as a reward for completing a Bulletin Board job. I'm unsure if there's another way to get them.
It's only one, but this Wonder Mail code offers another Wigglytuff Orb:
QXW5MMN1
So should I get this?
I loved the original back in the day but I am so conflicted because it is not cheap.

Loving this more than I expected, it really is capturing the feel of what I remember the originals to be. Love how you can tell the devs have respect for the classic roguelikes with similar QoL and fast clearing options. Went with Eevee and Psyduck and don't regret my decision, thought it might make the game a bit more difficult by Psyduck is pretty damn good as backup. I also love how fast you get freedom in this game, it's so refreshing, especially in a Pokémon franchise game. I fear that some of the changes may have made the game much easier but it does seem, like many true roguelikes, it's those one off "counter to you" hard encounters that can really wreck you.
Can you exploit the hunger system by switching leaders? I notice the other Pokémon don't seem to have their hunger go down. If nobody knows, I will experiment.

That's what I've been doing. Only the leader's hunger goes down.
Cool, and thanks, that's really useful to know.
I forgot to mention that I'm also loving these remixes and surprised at how well I remember the old tunes.
Moltres and Articuno were a step up in challenge, since you can't recruit anyone in that part of the story. Good thing I stocked up on blast seeds and wands.
I got that skill on my main pokemon on the first gummy I used, so maybe it is guaranteed.

I also have the easier to recruit skill on my main so yeah, looking very likely it's guaranteed.
Thanks, I just googled all the other Wonder Mail codes too and redeemed those too - super useful stuff.
So, this game is fucking amazing.
Second to Sky.
Honestly, the only changes I think need to happen to the battle system, if for them to rework the reviver seed system (This game allows for reviving after a team mate faints via the All-revive orb. Auto revive seeds are kinda busted and allways have been in the series)
And they need to rework the recruit system so it doesn't bust the game wide open in stages that allow recruiting.
I am absolutely already hyped for Explorers remake.
And I've not even beaten Rayquaza yet.
Edit: Oh my fucking god....

The Rayquaza fight has been racheted up to some obscene levels of bullshit

Do Pokemon level up while they're sat in the Rescue Team Camps? I'm sure my Weedle wasn't level 18 last time I looked
Simple post-endgame question from me too:
Someone above said you can have your partner keep walking around with you post-endgame this time around which is great. Do they still give you the lil end of day pep talk "let's do great tomorrow too!" like they do during the maingame? I love the little friendshippy bits in this series so much, always hated finishing them when that stuff goes away.
Yep they do, they mentionned it at some point in the game.
Ugh, I'm probably gonna have to grind for items and levels and then do Sky tower ALL over again
Kinda hate how fast hunger goes down compared to the original. I'm losing all my hunger in just a few floors. I know you can swap to your partner, but meh.
Be careful to not push your partners, it makes hungry more fastly. If one of your teammates is in your path, use B and the left stick to swap places without pushing it.
