nintendo

did you ever play og rescue

bro

I feel like you unintentionally decide how difficult the game will be based on your starter choices

going aoe late game

Max, I have played it in full 3 times

was ALWAYS

the play

this is harder in a bullshit kind of way

mad because bad

as opposed to actual difficulty

I almost never used aoe because I never got EQ tms

it was fine for me

it just seems like bad game design to have everything just do screen nuke moves the second you enter a room

I'd do things like back out the exit of the monster room and 1v1 all the mons

thats why you

hit back

with your own nuke

Or in sky I had mirror move + sleep powder

Oh no everything is already dead first nuke

Which felt kind of cheesy

I just wasted 3 review seeds

unless you grinded to level 100 right away max

its not like

reviver seeds

are hard to get

I do not have that many of them

did you rush

to the end of the game

define rush

it took me 14 hours

idk

i had a LOT

by post game

might be just different luck

I have gotten maybe 50 total

since I started playing

there are worse moves than earthquake

whatever that lunar beam one's called

is gay

when I say earthquake I am combining all the screen nuke moves into that term

to clarify

but luckily that's like 5 floors on one dungeon

Isn't there an iq skill to not team kill

iq is gone

Fuck this game

you have

special hidden abilities instead

that you can reroll

I miss IQ

^^

Just use telepathy then

i miss iq but

IQ was lame when you just maxed all your mon

IQ was kinda broken

like

too strong

When you reach 5 billion iq you turn the game into minecraft

ESPECIALLY in explorers

though the rng passive thing isn't great eather

where some pokemon just

can walk through EVERYTHING

and you auto know the exit

Oh yeah, I remember walking on the void as blaziken

And my partner has an iq skill that always pointed in the direction of the staircase

high iq pokemon can walk through walls and stand on air

high iq pokemon know where everything is at all times

But the game got so difficult it didn't feel like cheating

but

the harder stuff

iq isnt relavent

yeah the hardest dungeons are the start at level 1 with no items and do 99 floors ones

yes

and you have no iq

Nidoqueen still could one-shot me in the late game

They added those extra dungeons in sky for the johto beasts

I remember just running away from mons that spawned in

I was significantly retarded when I was younger and never set up linked moves in mystery dungeon

Neither did I, but I felt like pp was more of an issue later on anyway

Linked moves felt like cheating ngl

More than anything else
