If you press X within the Connection orb you can open a menu, and one of the options is the NEW List which lets you see what's new immediately.

On a completely unrelated but still Super PMD note, has anyone been able to beat Mewtwo? He can use Recover to get 900 HP back and it seems basically impossible to deal with that.

Ah, thank you!

So is there any purpose to keeping Plain Seeds around? I know in GtI they had the Recycle Shop where you could turn Plain Seeds into another kind of seed, but I didn't know if that came back in some fashion or if there was some other reason to keep them.

You can exchange 100 of an item for a gold bar. This is also true for items that normally stack, like wands and rocks.

I'm sure this thread will react reasonably and respectfully to the fact that they're suspecting Sablenite right now.

I peaked at the suspect test thread and sure enough there are people who think Sablenite should be banned because it makes it hard to get up hazards.

"The boss recovers from bad statuses more quickly!" Plus, I can't predict WHEN he'll use it. I tried to pack Taunt to do something similar but it lasts for less than a turn most of the time.

Bring Shedinja or Spiritomb and watch him weep. Oh, and bring a Ban Seed to stop Recovery. :unsmigghh:

I don't think I have a Ban Seed, but I guess that's the effect of Disable? Suppose that's an option. Could also keep him from using Barrier twice. I assume I can seal more than one move.

Apparently the Hidden Ability Starter events (both the Unova starters from download codes and Jotho starters from Pokemon Bank) are ending soon, so if you haven't got them already, you should before it's over.

Thoughts on Super Mystery Dungeon:

Having ranged or full-screen attacks is a must now. Almost all species get them, and without them, a teammate is dead weight. Anyone with easy access to several attacks that can hit from 4 tiles away/the whole room is instantly elevated up to being worthwhile.

Unevolved starters have garbage level up moves. Trade in your gold bars for decent TMs, it's worth it. I was stingy, and my Fennekin's moveset stayed identical from the start to the game to the credit roll.

Emeras are a much better substitute for the IQ system in Explorers and a more inconsistent, but more exciting replacement for the team passive abilities in Gates. Great refinement of those systems.

As I suspected, Gates seems to have been made to lay down the foundation for this game. It must have been a tremendous amount of effort, drawing all the portraits and modeling all 720 Pokémon and their variants. Gates had a tiny selection, and it didn't feel finished.

According to Super Mystery Dungeon, Torrent is a better ability than Protean. I have no clue where they got this idea, especially considering that Mystery Dungeon punishes being at low health.


Is there any way to make it so that I have a hidden ability on the starter, because Hawlucha doesn't want to give me one.

That's old as poo poo. Now we have BREAK! Evolutions where you put half of a card over another one to make it go Super Saiyan.

It's also a subtle hint as to which mons are never going to get Mega Evos imo (so they just give them Break Evos instead).

Yeah, like that time they made Charizard Psychic or whatever. The TCG gimmick mechanics are a clear representation of where GameFreak will bring the next games and I for one am glad to have a window of the future to peer on.

So far they've given them exclusively to a dozen mons who don't have Mega Evos yet (like Raticate and Golduck) and deperately need something to keep up, so they just give them a golden sheen and a couple of stat and attack boosts and call it a day.

As already mentioned the latest set is BREAK, so look for that. Also, there are usually promo packs that net you 3 booster packs (30 cards total) and a special card that is unavailable other places. I think the promos this time are Sableye and Jirachi.

Don't worry, there's still over 400 fully-evolved ones left that don't have Mega or Break Evos.
