I've downloaded the demo and have a few comments on it:

I already played it but I agree with Ruen it seems way to easy.
Also I'm really still annoyed by the fact they could't put in all the pokemon so I'm still unsure about buying this game. As much as I enjoy the PMD series. Last edited by Magmaster12; March 9, 2013 at 04:03:40 PM. |

(Seriously, Etrian Odyssey IV opts for nearest neighbour on the bottom screen.) (Also interesting: Possibly deliberate colour banding on move stat bars) I've also noticed that Axew's head stops bobbing heavily while reading a sign. Last edited by Twiggy; March 10, 2013 at 07:27:41 AM. |

I tried the option to "Discover a Magnegate" earlier today. I found a lot of circular objects in my house, but my 3DS camera didn't pick most of them up as being circles. I tried the two that worked; a cylinder-like candle and my cat's food bowl. Both of which sent me to secret/challenge dungeons. I thought this feature was pretty cool and the dungeons can be tough too.
Earlier this morning...

I've finally played it thoroughly enough to have a few likes and dislikes on the demo.
Dislikes: - First, the removal of the Personality Quiz. I don't feel as attached to the Pokémon I am when I choose, almost to the point where I don't want to use my real name, but that's tradition. - When stealing from Keckleon's shop (something I've been doing for the past hour ) clones of Keckleon spawn and try to hunt you down. Running away from one overpowered psycho is simple enough, running away from 7 is torture. - The sound effects for some moves are too similar. Tackle, Ember, and I think Water Gun all share one. And they're all not related. - There was one Keckleon Bro in the shop. Where's the other one? Likes: - THE GRAPHICS ARE TOO BEAUTIFUL! Like wow, I could stare at the town for ages. And the dungeons are mystical the way they keep to the tile-movement but have actual texture. - Magnagates are way too fun to fool around with. I'm now inclined to find circles in EVERYTHING and make a Magnagate out of it - The music is perfect. They got the feel juuuuust right for a Mystery Dungeon game~ Once I get my 3DS fixed, I can see myself on this game 24/7 after it comes out. I have to find out what happens. |

I haven't bothered to read much into it, let alone download it, but after reading some posts I think there might be an explanation for the lack of options;
The fact that this is a demo. For example, for fighting games like UFC or Street Fighter, the demos only have a select 2 or 4 characters. It can be the same for this game possibly. |

Some of that is wrong, probably because you haven't looked into it . The game was already released, there's a confirmed 5 characters to choose from. And you can save in the demo so that you may transfer your save data to the full version, so the portion that's in the demo is what you would see in the full version (aside from the THIS IS A DEMO text.)

Not too sure when it get released in Europe- but apparently the full European version comes out about 2 months after the full NA version release.
I'm a bit indifferent about this game. I love Mystery Dungeon, but I question some choices they made with the game, like how many Pokemon you can play as. I've actually never tried out the demo yet ( >.> ), but they took out the personality quiz? D: Out of everything you could do, why take out that? |

Hm, I suppose we can turn this into a general thread about recent happenings, thoughts about the game, et cetera. Be sure to label spoilers correctly.
Anybody get the full game and try it out yet? (I'm gonna pick my copy up shortly.) Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; March 24, 2013 at 01:08:51 PM. |

I just got the game and transferred the demo data to the actual cartridge. There's DLC for this game, so when I checked it, there were a few maps available for $2.50 each, but the Poké Forest map is actually free, so I got that one.
Now it's time to continue the adventures of Oshawott and Snivy! ^^ |

Well, uhh, has anyone yet been able to download the free DLC? I keep getting an error saying that the server is overloaded (005-4240), and occasionally an error that they're down for maintenance (009-1001). Hey, at least I can still play the game without it.

I REALLY want to purchase this, but I am only a few seasons away from driving. Curse my age. I will surely pick it up late today (with some convincing) or after school tomorrow (If I have it).
I so far really admire this game from YouTube videos I have seen of it. |

I was about to buy the $2 DLC pack, but when it errored out after pressing "Purchase" on the free one ("An error has occurred", 005-4040, which should only happen when you travel internationally), I decided against doing that tonight.
As for the actual game, I like how everyone in the square Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; March 25, 2013 at 10:33:17 PM. |

Hmm... I think this thread needs renaming, to be honest.
I just couldn't let my little buddies evolve :3 I want my cuddly Axew and Snivy, dang it, and there's no way I'd put up with something not cute enough. Oh well. That said... speaking of DLC, I wonder what should I get, aside from the free one? I think I'm a sucker for old music |

General talk, finally!
I find it hilarious how you get Team Skills from Treasure Chests. I don't remember how they did that in previous games, but it really doesn't make much sense when I think about it. *Opens chest* "POOF, YOU LEARNED A SKILL!" What? Also, I noticed that I haven't seen a single Link Box since I first played this game. Have they taken out the linking of moves in this one? Cause I would've really loved my False Swipe + *Insert stronger move here* combo that I used extensively back in PMD2. |

I don't really like sticking with just two characters all the time. I've even made it a point to make Keldeo and Simon the Digger my new main characters after the game ends. And we can't be together since Simon's Earthquake would instantly destroy Keldeo.
Speaking of new Pokémon, I need to use more than just Excadrill in Companion Mode. Maybe I could whip out Hitler the Mienshao once more. It annoys me how the censors on this game are even tighter than in Black and White, now the exclamation mark doesn't even bypass the censor. |

One of the things I've noticed with the game...
Besides a hard 10-character limit to names, the game also has a width-based character limit. Use too many wider characters, and you might end up one or two letters short. Hmm... |

I finally figured out why Elite Boutiques close on you! Apparently they're FAR TOO ELITE to stay in your LAME Paradise forever. So one day they have a big Rare Items blowout sale and close the day after. I think that's a waste of materials to just wait for that day and tear down the shop. Plus, every time you tear down the shop, cute Gurdurr looks sad. And when his cuteness is sad, I GET ANGRY. (I find it odd how Gurdurr and Quagsire are the most adorable to me.)
Strangely, I see a lot of myself in both Umbreon and Keldeo. Umbreon is cool and dark, which I am naturally. Keldeo is fun, impulsive, and pretty crazy, which means he's my kind of guy! |

Okay this game is really starting to get out my nerves, first it been countless days since they have introduced a new dungeon, they seemed to have reserved these days to bring in all these stupid gimmicky features I honestly couldn't care less about. There's only so many times I can go into the same dungeon.
I would be less annoyed if you could do multiple missions in a single run but can't for some reason. Last edited by Magmaster12; May 24, 2013 at 01:04:27 PM. |

Yeah pretty much all of it, the game is already pretty easy as it is, I don't all these extra features to make it easier. After all it's not like the main pokemon games give you all these gimicky features grouped up into one area they're spread out.
I mean come on they give you Virizion for your team early on, a freaking legendary before you even beat one! Last edited by Magmaster12; May 25, 2013 at 04:33:42 AM. |

I've finally gotten up to the last part of the story in this game. This game has had so many plot twists that honestly caught me by surprise! If only the dialog didn't have to be tweaked to cater to younger audiences, this could have easily been one of the more darker Pokemon games made. I'm almost at the Final Boss... and just, wow. The difficulty sure does shoot up by at least 80% here! Dx The music so far in the game has been pretty nice, well some dungeon themes were too happy but that's semi-expected with a different composer on board for this PMD3 game. Some of the remixes such as the Boss battle theme could've used some more depth to capture the actual intense battle feel. But otherwise this OST is just as amazing as any other PMD game. Can't wait to actually beat it, hopefully!

I have to admit the story for the game really is starting to grow on me, I like the fact that the player character is actually concerned with going home preventing this from becoming some terrible escapism plot like the first one.
The only thing this game plot is missing is notable characters like Grovyle, Celebi, or Dusknoir. All the characters in the game don't seem to have very compelling personalities, Verizion could have been well developed but I find her to be really dull. Thanks to the many people I passed on Street Pass on Friday I now have 20 Reviver Seeds. Last edited by Magmaster12; July 16, 2013 at 03:27:09 PM. |
