YO how do you do a soullink on explorers??? that sounds so fun,,, id like to do that with a friend :0

Definitely having a blast with it! Me and my friend decided we wanted to mix it up a bit after doing several main series randomizer soul links, here's the way we've been doing it:

General PMD Soul Link Rules

Pick the same hero and partner. Your hero is your friend's partner and vice versa, with the same names and team name! You're in this together and are each other's partners.

Give them the same moves in both games and discuss changes to the movepool together - will this move benefit your hero? Does that work for your friend's partner?

(example: I'm playing as a Rowlet, level up and can learn aromatherapy. After some discussion I teach it - I have a move I'm fine with scrapping and my friend's zorua hero is struggling with poison traps, so his partner having a way to cure poison is super helpful. Once Rowlet is the same level in his game, he teaches it too. You can also teach TMs if you both already own the same one and can decide what move to replace.)

Go through story and dungeons together at the same pace. Found the stairs? Great! Tell your partner and wait at the stairs till they find them too, or go up but don't explore till they join you.

For non story missions, pick a dungeon you can both get jobs in and do that. It's okay if they're on different floors or if you have more/less than your partner, just go through floors together till one of you finishes first and can leave. The other person can continue on alone if needed.

If one of you faints in a dungeon, no resets, you gotta take the loss. The other person also needs to press the 'give up' button and also take the loss. Sorry about your money/items.

If you choose to add new recruits, send them back to the guild immediately, until your partner gets one too (up to you if they have to be the same species but they have to be from the same dungeon/recruitment method, with the same nickname). No hard rule on movesets for extras. If an extra team member faints for one person, the other should send them home.

We didn't set any rules about item usage - those are all fair game and don't have to be the same.

The only exception is using joy/golden seeds at the same time, just so we're at fairly similar strength.

You can do this with any pmd game! Ofc only eos can do randomizers, but if that element isn't important to you, go wild.

This is obvious, but communication is key! You gotta make sure you know where the other person is up to and work through things together, really helps with the immersion too.

For randomized runs

Randomizers will obviously need to use eos, due to being done with Skytemple Randomizer. To get the full experience you also might wanna get Skytemple and edit the hero and partner lists in order to have both your hero and partner choices available interchangeably (Eg. Having mew as a hero choice is fine, but if they're not a partner choice as well you'll need to edit that).

If you gotta edit the hero and partner choices here's a simple screenshot based tutorial on how to do that!

We're playing our randomizer with the same seed and it's great, plus it makes it easier to talk about which characters are doing what. Discovering the randomized chapter names and character switchups together is pretty priceless too.

We've noticed the ROM we generated seems to crash a lot for some reason (may be some of the patches we added idk), so we're working with a crash clause too - if the game crashes while on an exploration, the other person has just gotta wait for them to catch up. If one of you then faints on that same exploration, the other can continue to just wait while the one who fainted is permitted to reset - otherwise the crashes REALLY start to suck all the fun out of it.

Don't randomize ROMs that use the expand pokelist patch. If you don't know what that is, you probably don't need to worry about it. Expanded sky uses this too though, so DON'T RANDOMIZE EXPANDED SKY. idk why you get something like uhh. This:

Ofc they're not set rules and you can alter them all you like, but that's how we've been playing! I'm currently playing as a Rowlet called Bacon, and my friend is playing as a Zorua called Snickers. Our team is called Mintyfresh and we escaped the future and got to treeshroud forest last night :)

Pokemon mystery dungeon

explorers of the sky

#mwah #wondermail

[darkdragon768]

Man, everything I hope for the pokemon presents is that they'll announce another Mystery Dungeon.

One with a good antagonist and main villain, a recruiting system and ALL THE POKEMON. From gen 1 to gen 9. Maybe even invent a new original pokemon variant like primal dialga.

That'd be the dream.

But I guess all we'll get is some info on the DLCs and Sleep. Maybe for the other mobiles too but that's it.

#dragon's stupid thoughts #fuck you nintendo #wish pokemon would become good again #a new pmd game would fix me #just replaying darkness/time/sky for the 749197486th time #I need a second copy of sky so I can use one to 100% it (all mons. all iqs for every mon. all mons on lvl 100. all stats maxed out) #and another one for replaying #yes I'm taking this goal very serious and I'll come back to it from time to time #of course I use a wondermail generator #otherwise this goal would be utopian #pokemon #nintendo

Grant says you shall know his (blades of) justice

POV: you walked into grant's gym on a day where he REALLY wanted to go home early

#anonymous #lost to him a third time and got to the sixth pokemon before i blacked out btw. and yes his sixth pokemon was ALSO terrakion #i really don't get what happened to the randomisation here #normally he has two pokemon and idk if the randomisation got confused and duplicated his first one four times or something? #but that seems weird and it didn't do that for viola's gym when she was meant to have three... #wondermail

[mulbruk]

ok i didn't get as many participants as i had hoped so what's my next move re: naming gimmick for pmd2

#also if it changes anything i am not above using cheatsy wondermail to get certain mons on my team early #cookie clatter

Hi Spriteveon! Thank you for your amazing PMD-tober. I've drawn every prompt until today and the plan is to finish the list. I'm doing it on Instragram, because I have no Tumblr ^^' the drawings are a bit crappy, because I'm doing the Inktober too and I'm really busy, but after I saw the list I had to do this! I think what I want to say with this mail is: Wuhuu, I found another Mystery Dungeon Player (and thank you for making the list.) Yours, otaku_laulau (or just Laulau ^^)

Okay, so like…this ask did not appear in my inbox until today, but it says it’s dated to 2018????

I know it’s late, but I just want to let you know that I’m super glad you enjoyed doing PMD-tober back then, and thank you so so much for sending this message in to tell me!!

Years down the road, I hope you’re having a good one, Laulau!!

so i wanna share a part of the explorers games that a lot of people might not know about: treasure memos!

treasure memos are jobs that, at least to my knowledge, are super rare and only appear in bottles that wash up on the beach (you can also obtain them through wondermail s generators if you're really curious). because of this they seem to be explorers of sky-exclusive. upon reaching the floor indicated on the memo, you will find a treasure room instead of a normal floor! they don't have normal layouts, and can sometimes look very cool looking with some very minor puzzles.

here is a treasure room in northern desert, after i drained all the water with a drought orb. the traps shown here are warp traps, with the right-most one being random, and the other two leading to set places. there was also a whirlwind trap hidden right underneath the cluster of items in the middle, so i had to step on it multiple times and hope it sent me the way i wanted.

treasure rooms will contain one treasure box (possibly more if the mission is hard enough?) and the rest of the items will be money.

and at the end you get a funny interaction with chatot:

#op #pmd #explorers #pmd2 #explorers of sky #pmd explorers #(i will note ive only seen a treasure memo one other time so i don't have a ton of info on this. but it is very cool)

is eliwyn the same milotic from chapter 4 and dielle's wish?

Eilwyn: You might have me confused with Calypso... It's inconvenient to have another Milotic in town because everyone thinks I'm her and vice versa. You can tell us apart because she has really long head fins and I'm prettier.

// ... but fun fact, eilwyn is my other wondermail recruit! dielle being the first one. for a while I waffled on having them in the comic- having a team of 5 already felt like a lot to juggle in terms of their personal relationships to one another, and adding another character kinda late into the game felt like it wouldn't have worked out. but I still really liked milotic and wanted one to appear. so in chapter 4, I decided to put a milotic in the beginning to act as a sort of placeholder- basically buy myself some more time to decide if I wanted to include the milotic character, and then if they did show up, I could point at chapter 4's intro and be like "look!! they were foreshadowed :)"

the thing is I thought for sure I was gonna use the goldeen hybrid design later attributed to "calypso" here- I like goldeen a lot and the general frilly goldfish look, and was pretty happy with the demo sketches I made for her.

but then actually drawing her, even for the 2 or 3 panels she showed up in, was a bit of a pain... I don't know what it was about her, maybe trying to make her eyebrow antennas go over her head fins consistently, or maybe the head fins were just too long for me to manage in a consistent way? either way, it was enough that I decided it was a sign to not have the milotic character. and then months later i remembered that I love finneon/lumineon a lot and could make a milotic with those features, and eilwyn was born!

I drew this and I was like "ok actually i DO want a milotic character after all", and I spent a lot of time figuring out a way to incorporate eilwyn into the narrative! and now they're here and I love them :) so I guess calypso here in a way is a proto-eilwyn. I don't blame folks for getting confused since milotic is such a standout design for a pokemon and I otherwise try to avoid having dupe species for NPCs with speaking roles, so instead I think it's fun to lean into it hehe
