Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Fortune

[John Vida]

Ok. When I Was Playing This On DraStic, I Realized That The Final Item Is A Time Gear. Where On Earth Is That? The Screenshot I Provided Was After The Game Was Cleared And After All The Other Parts Were Collected.

Hello! I've been really enjoying the game so far, one thing I can't find any info on and am a little confused with is I unlock the door at the end of the Zero Isle Dungeon on the second to last floor and collect the special item there, but when I complete the dungeon- nothing happens? I don't gain access to the location it says I should gain access to? Am I missing a step or something I'm supposed to do with that item like using it somewhere specific in the final floor or Zero Isle or something along those lines?

oh yes I did complete some jobs on my first run through, do they interfere with the special ending? Darn having to rerun all those floors again is gonna be a pain ^^" but if it is the case that's good to know now!

yeah, for the same reason jobs prevent you from accessing the second part of multi-part dungeons like Steam Cave!  ^^

As with a lot of others I too made an account just to give praise for this! I've dropped 14 hours in it already and counting. I've got a couple questions:

Is there a way to edit the files to change my partner in my current playthrough to another Pokémon (Aka Sneasel to Iron Valiant)?

Is there a document atm or one being made on locations for all new Pokémon and items to evolve them, hell even a wiki could exist on just this.

Is there a Discord server I could join to see updates?

Thank you so much for making this and I can't wait to see more updates!

1. yeah, I wrote up a lil guide for it around page 4-6 of this thread.  I'll also be making it easier to access the modifiable starter list in the next update! 

2. I'll be including one in the readme next update!

3. Not currently, but I'm considering making one when, you guessed it, I release the next update XD

Hey! thank you so much for making this hack. Just wondering, what dungeon is pika libre in? Also, did you add any new abilities/change distribution for existing ones? (IE drizzle on pelliper)

Lost Wilderness!  And no, I have not. 

[Flairey]

Back again! Small oversight report for the next patch! Fairy hasn't been added as an option for searching by type in the recruitment menu

[Chuck701]

Hiho o/

Just wanted to ask if you can give a rough estimate on when the next update will be ready?

Saw the last one was in december so I'm debating between starting now & starting with the new update you have planned.

I was hoping to have it done this month but need a bit of a break so I'mma have to say maybe...early to mid June?

[Chuck701]

Oooo~ Not as long as I was expecting.

In that case I'll wait for the update. Looking forward to it! Enjoy your break!

Bug report: Deino is supposed to be able to evolve at level 50, but mine is 51 and still doesn't show up on the list at Luminous Spring. While it can be a starter choice and I haven't gotten to Darkrai yet, my starter and partner were Rowlet and Litwick so that shouldn't matter as far as I know?

Also, looking forward to the update! Count me as another one happy to see an expansion mod rather than a difficulty mod. At the risk of sounding like a one-trick pony since I asked in a thread for another mod: is Rookidee coming? I thought it was as little odd that Tinkaton was in but not its apparent rival.

ahhhhhh I see the problem!  I set it to evolve at 52 instead of 50.  fixing that now.

 

yeah, gonna be adding it! 

[Syovere]

Sorry, further questions:

Will the update require a new save? Figure it's best I ask before I get too deep into postgame.

Will there be any new starter choices added? 

If it was just the second I'd have just waited to see but the first one's kinda important.

Love Explorers of Fortune. two things I want to mention/share, I found:
- when using custom pokemons with darkrai (altcolor) as hero and pheromosa (custom color) as partner, directly edit the .nds file (without changing file path) with skytemple to overwrite their sprites temporarily as a workaround for chapter 12 blackscreen. after the cutscene, just save and overwrite the sprites back to before. The save files didn't change for me. other than that, I haven't found any issues with the main cast having 1+2 stars as party size or found any problems with using custom pokemon (adding/editing#1782: DmyPK and beyond) and reverting custom starters by deleting that portion of the script (10.5.2025).

- I got Nihilego and its Shiny. Its shiny speaks normally while Nihilego itself speaks in broken sentenfes. Is it more intelligent or what lore is behind it?

 

I want to say again, I'm having an absolute blast and am reliving my childhood again. Thank you so much and I am excited for your update in June(?)

Hi, I’ve been trying to patch this rom on my phone, but I can’t use the xdeltaui since it’s on windows, and when I try using other patchers it pops up with an error. Is there a way for me to patch this on iOS?

1. I see I see.  1.2 will have an anti-softlock patch added that replaces sprites with default ones should the cutscene get too crowded for the game to handle.

2. no lore, I just gave every Shiny a different talk group from the original one.

I...would not know.  I haven't really messed around with that stuff.  maybe someone else here would know?

[Direktor]

I finally ended up getting it to work, it took 2 hours of research but found an online patcher that works for iPhone and am now playing it on delta, the other patchers wouldn’t work cause the rom is bigger than 64 mb but xdelta-wasm works and is online. I can’t wait to play the whole game with this patch!
