[DS] Pokémon Mystery Meat 2: WHAT'S IN THE SANDWICH

I don't know if I'll get this game. I liked the first game, but I stopped playing it after I beat it, just like I do with the standard games, so it doesn't really have any staying power to me. I had lots of fun while it lasted though.

However, I thought the story was very good (see my Chocojournal entries from way back), much better than anything else having to do with Pokémon (I even got teary-eyed at one point). If the sequel delivers on the story, I'd probably end up getting it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh hey, now that both versions are on DS this time, maybe we can have co-op multiplayer, or use wi-fi connection instead of those uber-lame passwords when we need to send an SOS.

I remember pestering StarmanDX all the time to rescue me 'cause I kept dying in the dungeons. Gawd, I sucked :3

There's nowhere I can't reach.

No, I had heard of it before, but never bothered checking into it further. My fave Pokémon spin-off is Puzzle League/Puzzle Challenge, followed by MD.

I don't care for either Celebi or Mewtwo sd I am not a Legendary fan. I'll get the one with the most exclusives I like.

Glad the story's similar.

I'm gonna be a Totodile again, with a Charmander partner haha. Definitely going to have Garchomp on my team :D

Most amazing jew boots

Sorry to bump this dead thread, but hey, the game is out. Has anyone gotten it yet? I wasn't going to get it, but after reading all the new changes to the sequel, I want it now. They made things a lot more easier!! Things include:

Quote:

I'm getting Time for Lucario. I don't care for any of the other exclusives. I'm counting on you guys to help me if I ever run into a bind XD I asked Star a gazillion times for help in the first game!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It took me 6-7 tries to get Charmander. I wanted Charmander/Totodile and I didn't care what I got first since it takes forever to get the Starter you want.

I named myself Aero (after my AeroVeedramon in Digimon Dawn) and my Totodile partner Zero (after Tai's AeroVeedramon partner in one of the Digi manga). I named my exploration team Digimon.

I was speaking idiomatically.

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.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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...

FELIPE NO

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....

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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 am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

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

Spoiler:

see if the market will stock Perfect Apples. I wish my team got something extra special for the expedition, like lots of gold or a good item. I mean, my team is the one who solved the entire mystery. Shouldn't we receive something for our efforts, especially since we're the most junior members? The fact that the entire guild doesn't seem to care about my efforts disappoints me.

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? >_>

I was speaking idiomatically.

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

Spoiler:

You get to live while Grovyle doesn't. Don't their friendship count for something? :(

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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.

FELIPE NO
