PMD: Expanded Sky version 2.0.0 - DUSK Version is now live!
(For context to those who haven't seen the original post, this is a PMD EoS romhack that adds all starters from gens 5-9 into the game as heroes/partners)
No additional starters yet, but a long-awaited change is finally here:
All starters are now available as heroes and partners in one version, with no gender-locking!
That's right - you can pick your hero and partner's gender without it factoring into which Pokémon you can pick, and the MIDDAY/MIDNIGHT divide is no more. Welcome to DUSK!
This comes at the cost of the quiz unfortuntely, but does mean even more starters can be added in the future (A few planned are Hisuian Zorua, Yamper and Espurr!) without having to lose any. Starters formerly removed such as Riolu and Skitty are now back - in fact, on top of new starters, all starters from all PMD Games (excluding the wiiware titles) are selectable as both heroes and partners!
(New hero/partner selection courtosey of Chesyon's Starter Menu Tool, go check it out!)
A bunch of additional sprites and portraits have been updated to match with the PMD Sprite Repository, and all starters can now evolve fully save for the Quaxly line - Quaxwell doesn't have sprites yet, so Quaxly now evolves into Quaqaval.
Finally, it was recently pointed out to me that Moonblast was doing damage of the user's primary type rather than Fairy type, which was caused by some strangeness with the move ID I'd assigned to it, so I've moved both Moonblast and Disarming Voice to new move ids to tidy things up a little. This shouldn't affect new players, but if you're continuing from an old MIDDAY or MIDNIGHT save file and you had one of these moves, you may notice you now have Milk Drink or a move with a name comprised of symbols instead. This can be resolved by learning Moonblast/Disarming Voice at the Electivire Link Shop.
To update to the new version, patch a clean copy of EoS with deltapatcher (or one of the alternatives provided in the readme and original post). If you have an existing Expanded Sky save file, rename the .sav file to match the name of the .nds file after you've patched it.
Team Manayama & friends
Medicham's name is Manaphy because Hariyama misidentified her as a manaphy when she washed up on the beach, when she asked for her name Manaphy went "whuh?? Manaphy?" and it stuck
By golly! -Giratina.
can someone please explain to me how pokemon base stats work
long story short, i'm doing a pmd2 romhack and replacing all of the pokemon with the ones from gen 5 and beyond, and that requires me give them new stats and stat growth speeds
and i've tried to see if there's a correlation between the way mystery dungeon sets those and the way the main series games do, and i'm super lost
i want it to be Accurate, and if there is some kind of a pattern i would love to be able to find it, or if there's a way to translate the base stat totals into actual scalable number values in pmd
i already know that the values for move damage are completely different, and it looks like the values for stats are different too but it's kind of overwhelming and idk where to start dissecting it
halp plz
Farfetch'd, unfortunately this game was released well before Sword/Shield so I don't think that's possible here-
Ok
I'm starting a new Explorers of Sky randomizer run and... this is so funny to me. The fact it gives the wrong pokemon name but also includes the 2 still at the end is... incredible
So far: I am a Gengar named gribbles My partner is a magmar named junkie (i always have some pokemon in the magby line on my team, named junkie; its just one of the ones i always do from my early EoS runs on my ds ahdnadn) Chatot is Porygon2 (or Jolteon2...) Wigglytuff is Slowbro (I actually really fuck with the slowbro/porygon2 combo for those two) Diglett is staryu AHSDNSAND which is kinda funny...
idk how much ill be posting about my run / i might make fanart for the run in between working on writing stuff :>
bidoof love
