General Pokémon Mystery Dungeon

[Nebbles]

Super PMD dungeons are stupidly hard at some points, and with how tedious leveling up is, and how slow stat gain is, it's really imbalanced.

[InsigTurtle]

Yeah, I noticed how they tried to balance it out by giving out Oran Berries and Reviver Seeds like candy, but it still doesn't feel that good...
I had to get past Mystery Jungle by spamming Pure Seeds, Warp Wands, Petrify Wands, Guiding Wands and Tunnel Wands. It's not too hard that way, but it feels cheap.
One thing that really hit me in the feels, was

Spoiler

Going back to talk with Carracosta after Mew joins you. When he sees Mew and gets the impression that it's your partner before getting disappointed again and saying that he's getting old... God damn.

In all fairness, that was a strategy in the previous PMD games, but felt like it was cranked up to 11 in this game.

I didn't have a problem with mystery jungle the first time around, I'm literally preaching the gospel of stayaway wands here

the second time I ran out and had alti rescue me <3

[mastersuperfan]

Mystery Jungle wasn't overly hard in my first playthrough, as a Lv. 24 Riolu.

Second playthrough, Lv. 30 Riolu... Getting one-shot.

What the hell.

Also, is it me, or did they change the fact that HP doesn't restore in weather all the time or someting? I was in Blue Point a while ago and it was hailing, and my HP wasn't regenerating as I was walking.

Yep, they changed it.

I don't think it ever restored HP during Hail and Sandstorm, unless you're Ice / Rock, Ground, Steel

I believe it did.... I play PMD Explorers of Sky where i believe it does that

I have a perk where I regenerate health more often when walking! so i never run into this problem

IIRC it's based off of your max health. So when you first encounter damaging weather in the main story, you're in Northern Desert and already have a high enough HP that you'll restore health on average.

However, Bidoof's HP is too low, so he just loses HP...

[BrainyLucario]

Oh yeah....... i forgot how low bidoof's health was... it's really unfortunate

[Latios212]

I remember one time I had to rescue a Psyduck in bad weather and it was walking randomly in some patches of water and I couldn't reach it because I didn't have a water-type and I waited for it to walk back onto a regular floor tile and nope, it just walked in circles in a puddle and died
