To the PMU Wiki editors. The information you provided allowed me to add accurate information about dungeons and missions.

To Festivo and Fennes, who are always cheering me up and supporting me while I decide to do guides or works like
this one. Also, they"re the perfect grammar checkers. (And friends) :heart:

To Nuxl, thank you a lot for investing your time on ranking PMU starters! Also, thank you for being my super personal grammar checker, It is much appreciated. :D

Just throwing it out there but I think it would be cool to let them know which starters can be recruited. its always good to know

a little training section; like if you wanna train your starter then don’t use it as a leader, dungeon locations for newbies

I personally didn’t want to add a recruitable starter list, simply because they keep getting introduced. I know someday all of them will be recruitable. Plus, as a beginner, the player is suppose to choose the starter he/she likes the most and don’t be thinking which other can be recruited later. In my opinion it’s a pretty advanced information, considering most of starters are recruited in dungeons that are meant for lvl 60+ players.

This is going to be under useful links at the end. :D

Thank you for your feedback!

Rather, how about adding the Pros and Cons of each starter? Some are significantly rougher to start with while others make the early dungeons a breeze.

That would be a good idea, but I don’t think I can do it. I’m not competitve or much of a strategist either. Normaly, If I choose a starter it is because I like the pokemon itself, but not because I see pros/cons based on its moves or typing.

But, If any of you feel like making a list listing pros-cons, I’d totally add it.

I don’t know if you noticed, but 7 times 4 is not 24 but 28. Also, there are no traps that can Paralyze you, bit rather tell the beginning players about Sticky and Grimy traps. It would also be nice if you tell them how to get rid of status effects easily. As for the rest of the guide: Great work and I hope you finish it!

Err, now, that was a stupid mistake, I’m so ashamed. :o.or: . Fixed it.

I added a link to the PMU Wiki about traps, where every trap is explained detailed and also explain how to get rid of any effect, but I do agree It’d be nice to detail each of the traps you mentioned. Thanks Sciz!

one thing I thought I should say is to separate the screenies of the starter rooms into 7 different spoilers, not combined into one. just a little better, imo

i’ll make a post later with spelling/grammar mistakes- but this is a really great guide + can help some new players out! keep it up :>

i’ll send you some of this too

Looking forward to it, Nux! Thank you!

Nice work so far Coki! I do suggest you add a section about HMs though! PMU has some really basic/essential HMs that are needed to traverse through the overworld and even get to certain dungeons :B It’d be cool if this guide had some HM listings/uses or where to get them and etc.

It has it, Wiz! Under “Beginner’s goals and Walkthrough” I explain how to get Cut, Rock Smash and Fly, as well as how to evolve and the such.

I didn’t list other HMs simply because Archford or Tanren are not suitable for a Beginner’s guide, but I will add some links to the Wiki at the end of the guide.

Thanks for your comment! :joy:

Ah, I see~ Good job on making even detailed guides on the dungeons! :joy: I’m not sure how much I should keep pestering you, but HM surf is a fairly easy HM to obtain as well in Mineral Cavern~ It’d be cool if that was added too xD

Oh… Forgot about Mineral Cavern :@~@: , Thank you a lot for the reminder!

okay I’m not done yet, but I’m getting forced off for now and I’ll continue tomorrow. best of luck on the guide, it’s very helpful!

EDIT: already fixed most grammar errors via personal means, no reason to expand this post

Edit: The guide is now finished! I may add a starters viability ranking, but as for now, the basic content is now complete an ready to be readen C: I hope you find it helpful, and thanks to all of you who have readed this guide and gave me feedback.

Have fun PMUing! :joy:
