Would you describe your primary partner Pokémon as popular? (Examples are subjective; use your own judgment!)

Yes, incredibly popular and well-liked (Eevee evos, starters, Zorua, Gengar, Clodsire...)

Yes, so popular it's considered "basic" (Pikachu, Charizard, Gardevoir, Lucario...)

Yes, it's a legendary figure (Kyogre, Xerneas, Solgaleo...)

Enjoys pretty decent popularity with the general public (Fidough, Slowpoke, Ceruledge, Metagross, Shinx...)

Totally Average Popularity (Vileplume, regional birds, Glalie...)

Not popular, but its enthusiasts love it (Vivillon, Purugly, Minior, fossil Pokémon...)

Often forgotten by everyone (Paras, Finneon, Klefki, Bunnelby...)

Nobody really knows what this thing is (UBs, myths, archaic forms, undocumented Pokémon...)

Well-known and actively disliked (Toxapex, Carvanha, Mr. Mime, many ghost and dark types...)

Incredibly well-phrased. Unfortunately I have to cut the pokemon parts because the poll options have a character limit, but yeah, read the above.

Reblogs are appreciated.

YO how do you do a soullink on explorers??? that sounds so fun,,, id like to do that with a friend :0

Definitely having a blast with it! Me and my friend decided we wanted to mix it up a bit after doing several main series randomizer soul links, here's the way we've been doing it:

General PMD Soul Link Rules

Pick the same hero and partner. Your hero is your friend's partner and vice versa, with the same names and team name! You're in this together and are each other's partners.

Give them the same moves in both games and discuss changes to the movepool together - will this move benefit your hero? Does that work for your friend's partner?

(example: I'm playing as a Rowlet, level up and can learn aromatherapy. After some discussion I teach it - I have a move I'm fine with scrapping and my friend's zorua hero is struggling with poison traps, so his partner having a way to cure poison is super helpful. Once Rowlet is the same level in his game, he teaches it too. You can also teach TMs if you both already own the same one and can decide what move to replace.)

Go through story and dungeons together at the same pace. Found the stairs? Great! Tell your partner and wait at the stairs till they find them too, or go up but don't explore till they join you.

For non story missions, pick a dungeon you can both get jobs in and do that. It's okay if they're on different floors or if you have more/less than your partner, just go through floors together till one of you finishes first and can leave. The other person can continue on alone if needed.

If one of you faints in a dungeon, no resets, you gotta take the loss. The other person also needs to press the 'give up' button and also take the loss. Sorry about your money/items.

If you choose to add new recruits, send them back to the guild immediately, until your partner gets one too (up to you if they have to be the same species but they have to be from the same dungeon/recruitment method, with the same nickname). No hard rule on movesets for extras. If an extra team member faints for one person, the other should send them home.

We didn't set any rules about item usage - those are all fair game and don't have to be the same.

The only exception is using joy/golden seeds at the same time, just so we're at fairly similar strength.

You can do this with any pmd game! Ofc only eos can do randomizers, but if that element isn't important to you, go wild.

This is obvious, but communication is key! You gotta make sure you know where the other person is up to and work through things together, really helps with the immersion too.

For randomized runs

Randomizers will obviously need to use eos, due to being done with Skytemple Randomizer. To get the full experience you also might wanna get Skytemple and edit the hero and partner lists in order to have both your hero and partner choices available interchangeably (Eg. Having mew as a hero choice is fine, but if they're not a partner choice as well you'll need to edit that).

If you gotta edit the hero and partner choices here's a simple screenshot based tutorial on how to do that!

We're playing our randomizer with the same seed and it's great, plus it makes it easier to talk about which characters are doing what. Discovering the randomized chapter names and character switchups together is pretty priceless too.

We've noticed the ROM we generated seems to crash a lot for some reason (may be some of the patches we added idk), so we're working with a crash clause too - if the game crashes while on an exploration, the other person has just gotta wait for them to catch up. If one of you then faints on that same exploration, the other can continue to just wait while the one who fainted is permitted to reset - otherwise the crashes REALLY start to suck all the fun out of it.

Don't randomize ROMs that use the expand pokelist patch. If you don't know what that is, you probably don't need to worry about it. Expanded sky uses this too though, so DON'T RANDOMIZE EXPANDED SKY. idk why you get something like uhh. This:

Ofc they're not set rules and you can alter them all you like, but that's how we've been playing! I'm currently playing as a Rowlet called Bacon, and my friend is playing as a Zorua called Snickers. Our team is called Mintyfresh and we escaped the future and got to treeshroud forest last night :)
