This was my first time playing this game and it was way better than I expected. The story and characters are great, the dungeon design is bad though and there are only 144 Pokémon.
I've realized that the endings in Gates to Infinity and PSMD one are to make the player cry(Gates to Infinity: Because they are knowing that the player is going to the human world and giving a tearful farewells. PSMD: If you guys know about Yu-Gi-Oh! Series when that's Yugi who sacrifice his soul instead of Yami Yugi in the battle duel against Raphael, yeah that's the scene. )
I remember this game like the back of my hand…. It was the only Mystery Dungeon I ever played. *_Still can’t believe The Bittercold wasn’t a Pokemon, even till this day…_*
And the strangest thing about him is that even though he has no HP in the first battle, in the second, his HP is the same as the player's Pokémon. And added to the fact that he has no type (which I personally think is better, otherwise everyone would just use Tepig) and the fact that he doesn't recover health in case of defeat, it makes the battle end faster than it should. Like, if you are gonna make him not have hp recovery in case of defeat, then why you make his hp equal as the player?
@@ikagura Other than the Bittercold, what other non-Pokémon enemies are there? Every other Pokémon game I've played had you fight the Pokémon themselves, or the trainers used to battle you the player.
Omg I remember the Munna fight being so incredibly difficult for me and for a few reasons too: 1. Munna spamming Moonlight, healing up every one of her gang members including herself about 3/4 of their HP 2. Toxicroak charging up Revenge while my team members just sit there and attack Toxicroak..It’s only scary because Toxicroak I believe has the most HP out of anyone in that fight with over 340 so the more hits you deal on Toxicroak the more dangerous he becomes. 3. Chandelure being able to hit everyone with Flame Burst since you’re crowded in one place 4. Rock Blast Gigaliths just using up my Reviver Seeds because Emolga can’t take their hits well
Wow man when I saw this I remember my childhood. It was my first ever mystery dungeon game I ever play. After that I love it and got super mystery dungeon. I own Pokemon overdrive figure toy of Black and White Kyurem and when I remember the story that Kyurem was the 2nd antagonist in this game who promoted Munna and the Gang to pursuit destroying the world it pain me being that Kyurem is one of my favorite legendary Pokemon ever and the only one that can absofusion ability. Ty for this.
It's occured to me that this game had more battles against the main antagonist group than the other PMD games. Rescue Team doesn't even have an antagonist group aside from Team Meanies who aren't even the final antagonists. Explorers just had the Dusknoir battle (and Darkrai in the post game). Not counting Dialga since the one you face is technically not Dusknoir's master yet. PSMD does come close with the two Void Shadow fights, then Yveltal and Dark Matter, but none of those fights happen until well into the second half of the story. Meanwhile, just a few bosses into Gates, we're already fighting two members of Munna's gang, and every fight for the rest of the game is related to the Bittercold in some manner. ...Also, I'm realizing that Munna's gang is basically Torna before Torna. 😶
@Aeenjyl What I really like about Gates to Infinity's writing is that the main villains' goals actually tie into the theming of the game rather than being a threat that's kind of just there to be stopped.
Aww yes. I remember playing this game when I was a kid. I cried at the ending but when I’m went back playing this game at 22 years old I tried holding in my tears but I gave up and burst into tears.
Honestly this was my childhood mystery dungeon game and nowadays i don’t know how i struggled with it when i can now beat the game in literally a day. 😅😂
I don't know why many people hate this game. This game is literally my childhood. And the soundtrack? Oh. My. God. I was pretty young and this was actually one of my first ever Pokémon games. I know, it's kinda weird. But I grew up watching the anime and once I got a 3DS, I wanted a Pokémon game, and I saw this one... I never knew how normal Pokémon games worked back then since I was too young to understand, so I never knew this was considered a spinoff game. Either way, I have so much memories of this game, and I must thank it for existing. It was the main reason I started playing the core series games. Thank you, Gates to Infinity. 💚🎼
This what i can give credit to Gates of Infinity They could have done a legendary pokemon be the final boss again but instead they made something original and never seen, which is awesome Showing that in that universe, there are a lot of threats besides pokemon
It's lame though. Bittercold wasn't even a living being. It was just... a thing. This may be ok for a warmup boss like Demons Souls Phalanx, but not for the final boss and the climax of the game. The game would have been a lot better if the final boss was Kyurem. Also Primal Dialga was the best.
I remember this game. And I have no shame in admitting that even after looking at the other games, it’s still my favorite installment. In true Gen 5 fashion, people hated this game upon release because it dared to be different. Yes, it’s stupidly easy, and yes it lacks the majority of Pokémon, but everything else here holds up well for a Mystery Dungeon game. I would also say this is the most accessible Mystery Dungeon game overall, and that in some cases the easier difficulty is actually a good thing so as not to interrupt the story’s pacing too much when an otherwise difficult dungeon keeps the player stuck for longer than would be preferred. I’d still say it’s a slightly worse game overall than Rescue Team or Explorers, but compared to Super this is a great example of quality over quantity.
People did not hate it because it dared to be different, it just didn't have anywhere near the same amount of content as the others. You couldn't even recruit some of the Pokémon in the game. Gen 5s unfair hate is entirely unrelated.
Me redoing psmd seeing this. "I know whats next" Now to talk abt GTI, still my least favorite of the 4 worldwides pmd for lots of reasons, i still enjoyed it a lot. But it dosen't have the content the 3 others had, still had a good "fleeing" episode and a good plot imo.
This was my first time playing this game and it was way better than I expected. The story and characters are great, the dungeon design is bad though and there are only 144 Pokémon.
I agree, it was just a matter of adding 7 more Pokémon to keep the classic 151, but it is undeniable that this game is really good.
@@NintenUnity agreed but at least we still have some good story arcs
Be glad for text speed mods
Did you play Super yet i like that one alot (also big difficulty spike compared to gates but you can handle it)
I want a Gates DX that addresses those problems and keeps the great story.
also more postgame and content and recruitable pokemon would go a long way

This game brought back some feels and some treasured memories of being a Pokémon and a player at the same time

Theory is that he is the same kind of thing as Dark Matter from the sequel
So big moody jawbreaker 😂😂😂
@@LuminusNova Wait, it has the same HP as the player? Is there a source for this?
@@codename618 If I'm not mistaken, I searched once, and that's what I found, I don't remember exactly which site.
@@codename618 update: I just looked it up, and I was wrong.
Just APPARENTLY, bittercold has 500 hp. My mistake, sorry.
What legendary and nostalgic game you posted in my opinion. I loved this very much work a passion.
Mystery Dungeon Gates to Infinity was such an oddity, on the account that one of the bosses, the Bittercold, wasn't even a Pokémon.
Something that I wish we had way more of in the franchise moving forward
There were non Pokémon threats in the franchise.
@@ikagura Other than the Bittercold, what other non-Pokémon enemies are there? Every other Pokémon game I've played had you fight the Pokémon themselves, or the trainers used to battle you the player.
@@OmnicidalClown1992 Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon has the Dark Matter even if it is very similar to the Bittercold.

The shiny Ho-Oh fight was such a tease
Just wanna say, kyurem's theme is probably one of the most fear inducing out there...
Honestly this was my childhood mystery dungeon game and nowadays i don’t know how i struggled with it when i can now beat the game in literally a day. 😅😂
I heard about this game long ago.... such GREAT memories!!!
I should hold off if I ever get back into playing it. Neat to see this here.
It makes me feel even more nostalgia seeing that you/whoever choose Oshawott and Tepig, the ones I choose first time
That's one hell of a nihilistic Munna right there!

Thank you, Gates to Infinity. 💚🎼
Side note: This was also the game where my eyes laid on my now all time favorite Pokémon...
Love you, Melly 💚🎼
GTI is so underrated
@Aeenjyl Though I was never able to play the sequels, the games doesn't deserve the hate it gets. I think they're great despite its flaws.
Glad to see plot relevant Dunsparce
I literally started playing this game the day before yesterday, what a timing
Companion Mode was a good thing, it is one of my favorite games. Long life Emolga Enforcers and............. V-Wheel🎉.
This what i can give credit to Gates of Infinity
They could have done a legendary pokemon be the final boss again but instead they made something original and never seen, which is awesome
Showing that in that universe, there are a lot of threats besides pokemon
It's lame though.
Bittercold wasn't even a living being. It was just... a thing.
This may be ok for a warmup boss like Demons Souls Phalanx, but not for the final boss and the climax of the game. The game would have been a lot better if the final boss was Kyurem.
Also Primal Dialga was the best.
Bittercold Probably one of the only few final boss in Pokémon that is not a trainer or Pokémon battle.

Oshawott as the canon MC let’s go
I want this game so bad
If only the final battle wasnt so pathetic. The bittercold theme is so underappreciated
Your video content seem very smart, especially of silent catchphrase
I have this game. And I beat all the bosses. But I have no idea why they put SHINY Ho-oh as a boss. That's kinda weird.
More like Bitters cold 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍾🍾🍾🍷🍷
I was starting it.
The only thing I know about this game is Bittercold.
Super Mystery Dungeon is up next
Is this a new game?
Me redoing psmd seeing this.
"I know whats next"
Now to talk abt GTI, still my least favorite of the 4 worldwides pmd for lots of reasons, i still enjoyed it a lot. But it dosen't have the content the 3 others had, still had a good "fleeing" episode and a good plot imo.
The only PMD game I haven't played
Bittercold is not a Pokémon.
This is the only pokemon mystery dungeon game i didnt play
Zzzz
