Oh really? Zero is much stronger than me so I try to let him get out in front a lot. Of course, that doesn't stop me from getting killed in that dungeon with the mean Drowzee :D

I don't think I can request help yet. When I die, it doesn't let me get a password and crap.

Hey, I like Crogunk (he's retardedly awesome)! :(

But yeah, I definitely agree with you. Ranger is my second favorite Pokemon spinoff (right after Pokemon TCG for the GBC), so I'd much rather have that than these games. I'll probably still get one of these (most likely Darkness, since Mewtwo is an exclusive in that one) eventually, but I really want the sequel to Ranger to hurry up and come here.

Not sure when the feature popped up, but in Chapter 5 I can rescue people now.

Rescue Codes are preferred over Passwords, since I can actually send a Pokémon to assist via RC, but not via PW.

Friend Code: Lacerta (Darkness) - 1977-0490-2738

LACERTA SAVE MEEEEEEEEEEE!!! :(

Anyway, my FC is 1375 7555 5704.

Got further into the game today, and got killed. Need rescue.

Why does the Mystery Dungeon series have much more engaging characters than the animé and the RPG games? Does the Bidoof remind anyone of the Swabbie (can't remember his name) from Wind Waker?? He's so cute and funny! I also like the Poochyena Brothers. They go chasing (literally) after outlaws until they're too tired to move XD

Everyone has such horrible table manners! They eat like...like...

Good lord, I died twice trying to save you (in the same room you died).

I have 8 attempts left, and no reviver seeds, so I'm going to have to choose my party carefully for it...

I was so close to clearing it but then Protect failed on me and I got wiped by 4 Water Guns (Kentucky Fried Chicken doesn't sit well in Water).

EDIT: Rescued, I sent a Pokémon to try to help but it'll probably die anyway, that dungeon is pretty evil for the types I have.

Don't you need to send me an A-OK mail so I can actually get rescued? I'm still in the dungeon waiting to be rescued apparently.

Edit: Oops oops I found out how to get it XD Uh so you can actually send a pokémon helper over to er, help me? neat XD

Oops I died again! XD Ah well....

Hah, I'd rescue you but I just got this game earlier today. Not that you would want to be rescued by me since I have Pikachu as my partner :tpg:

I have the Wondermail Code for Riolu but I cannot get it yet, the dungeon is too far into the game! D:

I am starting to grab some legendaries though, so maybe future rescues won't be as hard?

Wow, just how far are you? I'm only on Chapter 6 and have yet to see a Legendary. I finally got some new recruits, name Lileep and Starly...when do you get cooler ones like Scyther and Sandshrew?

I just discovered yesterday that you can ask for rescue by email!! Neat, eh?

I am on Chapter 17.

Sandshrew is in Northern Desert, Sandslash is in Quicksand Cave (right after ND).

I believe Scyther is in a post-game dungeon, which contains a ton of Pokémon that you couldn't recruit earlier, or never saw before. The list of possible Pokémon is large, and the ones you face are random each time you enter.

It's also possible to recruit him by Wondermail I guess, but no one has found a job for it.

The only Legendary I've encountered so far though is Zapdos, and he requires an item to even see him (it's a Wondermail thing, the mail I had required a Pichu in the party to start it).

I live on 10~12 Reviver Seeds, 10 Max Elixirs, 10 Big Apples, and the rest in Oran Berries.

Is it possible to trade Pokémon permanently to each other, or is it just temporary?
Wow, Chapter 17. You must be playing a lot.
Although your Lotad didn't help me complete the dungeon, I'll still send you an item for trying to help me. Random gummi. I'll send it tomorrow. :3

I'm pretty sure it is just temporary. If it was permanent I'd be hitting up people to give me a Celebi :[~~~~~

I guess if I really want one I could find a way to hack it in. There are codes to hack a certain boss in the game that you can't ever capture, as a normal recruitable Pokémon.

It would be a last resort though... since I'm hoping Nintendo will release a Wondermail Event for Celebi//Mewtwo eventually.

XD I need help again...Waterfall Cave...bah I suck.

Sent SOS to Friends in Wi-fi! Since I only have 1 friend registered, only Lacerta will be able to help me >_>

P.S. I noticed you can send SOS's to random people online. I should try that in the future. Can't expect one person to be helping me all the time.

I guess I'll rescue you now before I proceed into the dungeon in Final Chapter. I doubt you are in any areas that are too rough for me at this point in time.

Don't worry about the Thank You mail for the first one, the first rescue is free!

Edit: A-OK Mail Sent. Threw in Mawile since my Pichu doesn't have any electric attacks.

There are more exclusives than just Pokémon, a big long list of exclusives, to be exact.

Well I got a little further today, finally reached chapter 6. If anyone needs rescuing, trades done or just want to add me, my FC is: 4725-8331-3844 (darkness)

Ran into trouble at the Craggy Coast yesterday so I sent my Rescue through the central Nintendo server (didn't want to bother Lacerta again) and this morning I check online and whee! Someone had rescued me overnight. I am pleased. I love the new online features in this game. Now I can get rescued without actually needing people who also have the game.

My rescue team sucks! I really need more members before I can actually go out and rescue others. I tried rescuing a stranger once and kept dying so I gave up after over six tries >_>
Ah well, once I get more members and level them up, Team Digimon will try some rescuing.

I wish I had gotten a Totodile as my main, instead of as my partner, 'cause he's stronger than Charmander. It was like that in the first game where Totodile was my main. Lileep's at level 11 or whatever and has much less HP than Charmander and Totodile, and they are only 2 levels higher! Wow.

Are you getting any of my Thank You mails at all, Lacerta? I send them, but it doesn't state where I am sending them to. They could be going to some random dude for all I know.

Oh, and does the story get sad at all? I'm on Chapter 7 and there hasn't been any plot development with the human-turned-Pokémon yet (at least, not as much as I thought). In the first game, there was a scene where I got all teary-eyed. Is there anything like that in this game?

I'm gonna add you to my list, Kairyu!

P.S. Where's Gabite!!!!

P.P.S. I'm not playing as much as I should, 'cause I have to juggle between two other DS games I got: Digimon World Dawn (have to recreate my team to battle Chaotic), and Harvest Moon DS Cute. I'm switching them all each day so I get equal playing time.

I got one, yeah I dunno why it doesn't tell you where it goes, but oh well.

I'd say the last stretch of the game is pretty damn depressing. I'm sure it'll make someone cry.

File is kind of on hold until I'm done with finals this semester. Post-game is about twice as long as the game itself. Not because of plot or anything, just that having to train to actually go through it will take you twice as long as it did to beat the game.

Ah from what you're saying, it looks like the game will be even sadder than the first! I'm on Chapter 10...I think. It's when Chatot asks me to

I ran out of Oran berries when fighting a particular Legendary, and I Aero ran out of Dragon Rage and Scratch only did like, 1 HP DMG. I had to depend on Zero to use Water Gun and I was afraid he'd run out eventually and then I'd lose, but lo and behold, Zero won! I love my partner! ^_^

By the way, I found a Wondermail that gives you a male Riolu at the Beach Cave! Too easy!!! It's the code below:

+J9T 998+ 4+#Y RTNK 47NY #18S

I got Spheal as my party member too. I'm trying to get Zigzagoon now. I presume you can't recruit evolved forms.

Wigglytuff is a weird Pokémon...

P.S. I hear you have to recruit Palkia to evolve your team. Is he, er, hard to get? >_>

You can recruit evolved forms, although they are supposed to be harder to grab than the others.

The "quest" to evolve is what the post-game story is about. You have to do a bunch of weird junk. There's more to it than just recruiting Palkia, but it's required since it adds more stuff for you to do which is also part of it.

It only applies to you and your partner though, the rest of the team can evolve after the first section of the post-game story.

I know I'm late to the party but I picked up Darkness the other day. I should have done some research though. I want Lucario but he's in the other version of the game. I heard it's possible to get him in my version if I know someone with Time though. I'm up to chapter 5 right now as Pikachu with Cyndaquil as the partner. No deaths yet. I'm trying to complete some jobs right now before I continue with the storyline.

FC is 1848-2544-1211.

Whoo I won the game last night. Got the final boss with a Vile Seed :3

Now to do all the post-game stuff. I'm now strong enough to do rescues. I did 5 already. Good stuff :3

P.S. Gah, why can't the main series have stories this good? Both games tore at my heartstrings, especially the end part. Sucks that

Help? I'm stuck in the Spacial Rift without a single Reviver Seed and Oran Berry, and I can't get back to town. If I had known that earlier, I wouldn't have saved there :P

Can anyone help me out and send me some items?

Update: BAH! Apparently you can't trade items through WFC. That's stupid!! Now I'm screwed. I rarely see any of those items in the Rift.
