POKÉMON SUPER MYSTERY DUNGEON

[Bespinben]

What do you think the acronyms for the game will be? I mean there's the obvious:

• PSMD

...but that sounds too much like PTSD. I've seen some cool ones though like:

• Super PMD

(sounds epic like Super Metroid )
I guess this means I'll have to stop calling Gates to Infinity as PMD3DS, seeing as there would now be two games that could fall under that title. Unless:

• PMD3DS 2???

[Nebbles]

I was just gonna stick to calling it Super PMD. Though a better name definitely could've been used.

[Latios212]

I like Super PMD haha

[blueflower999]

The next games in the series are going to be Super PMD Turbo, Super PMD 64, and New Super PMD.

[Nebbles]

Then ULTRA PMD!!!!

[Bespinben]

One PMD to rule them all, One PMD to find them,
One PMD to bring them all and in the dungeons bind them
In the Land of Post Town where the Forest of Shadows lie.

Obvious rant is obvious: Why are the Japanese logos for things always so much better designed?

Speaking of the Japanese logo it roughly translates to Pokemon Mystery Dungeon ULTRA from what I can tell. That seems to be a better name IMO. Makes it seem like the ultimate game.

I do have a bad feeling I'll get too hyped and expect dumb and crazy things like voice acting, cutscenes and redbook audio, thanks to Ys being stuck in my head lately. Still, I hope they can pull through with the story while making it more accessible to those who liked Explorers/RRT.

Ironically I had a formal letter made for Spike Chunsoft I was going to mail to them after I beat GTI back in 2013 when it launched but I never sent it since I couldn't read Japanese addresses. I can now that I've taken Japanese so maybe I'll send it anyway?

Subtle edit is subtle!

I don't know about you guys, but if giant meteors, collapse of space-time continuum, and the incarnation of evil itself haven't already set that precedent, this game is sure claiming to be SOMETHING.

Hmm really? The Japanese Pokémon official site has it indexed as "cho dungeon" in the URL, which I guess often is rendered as "super"? You'd know more Japanese than me of course.

Give in to the hype! I nearly punched a hole in my bed. (Though I missed out on the hype train during GtI, so maybe I'm just desperate to finally get to ride it again).

I'm no Japanese master or anything but I believe that's what it roughly translates to. "Cho" could also possibly be short for "Chotto" which means "A Little", so I hope this game isn't one of those shorter experiences we've been getting lately. Either that or it could mean something I haven't learned yet.

And Crisis in a tale of unprecedented scale? Darn you TPCI stop making me think it's going to have a deep and epic story like Ys IV or Lufia II, since I know you guys wouldn't allow blood or death or questionable female antagonists (Then again GTI had one, along with the infamous Kyurem scene, but you never know)

Speaking of which I also have a feeling that people will make jokes about it being a new SNES game, since back then they loved putting Super on every name for that system and now it returns for the NA/EU versions.

[Latios212]

I don't really care what they call it, as long as they deliver on the story! That said, the title gives away even less than the previous ones, so we'll be speculating for a while [emoji14]

Following the past three, I'm guessing a gen 6 legendary or two will be a large part of the story.

Trololollolololollolololol

Trololollolololollolololol

Noooooooooo now you make me want someone to do a Lufia II sprite edit to replace everybody with PMD NPCs

That being said, what if this game introduces Zygarde's new form? It's possible after all...

[InsigTurtle]

My day has been made.

Those Japanese links don't have too much information, although while the English thing just uses the word "crisis", the Japanese one uses "星の危機"...
Japan's getting it in autumn, so I'd love to have a sneak peek of it then.

I'm hoping for something involving Yveltal, since it seems like a pretty good candidate for a plot thing.

Hoping for a more varied mix of Pokémon, too. And hoping for a difficulty ramp-up.

That seems to mean "World Crisis" which is the same thing. I have a feeling we'll see it playable at E3 with a trailer next month, so hopefully it'll be great!

[InsigTurtle]

But 星 means star. 世界 is world. I don't know if it's a hint about the plot or if they just decided to use different wording.
