      Yeah I had a friend who only played the first half of the game and had said she beat it, got very confused when I mentioned something in the second half. If they don't play the second half, she'll be missing a huge chunk of story. Still, the first half is incredible and worth playing even if they miss the post-game. I hope they do the special episodes at least, they're so neat and a fun break from the main game story.

    • @phoenixshadow4631
      @phoenixshadow4631 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      @RIFT_XD Pokemon has been getting easier in general and from a business sense it makes sense to stick with that easier level for pokemon because it is a kids franchise first and foremost. In addition mystery dungeon as a genre has struggled at the best of times in the west due to gameplay when compared to other more typical genres such as RPGs so in remaking Rescure Team Chun Soct and Pokemon took on some major risk of whether or not it would actually earn enough to be deemed as profitable and while it did earn profits I frankly don't know if they'll remake the rest of the mystery dungeon series yet both due to money and the lower popularity. I certainly hope so and I definitely don't like that it was easier either, but I can understand why it would be with the demographic targets that would be in mind.

    • @davidbeer5015
      @davidbeer5015 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      @RIFT_XD Imo, it still had some tough spots, but I think the main easiness of it stems from 1) having more than two moves at the start, among other QoLs from Gates/Super, and 2) accessibility of the Makuhita Dojo. But I feel like even with the Dojo, I had trouble in a few spots (maybe a 3rd, lack of needing to try and get IQ skills). Maybe that was just me, though. I feel like a lot of difficulty when replaying Explorers, at least, was more due to some odd old game-aspects.

    Ok YOU MUST PLAY THE NEXT Mystery dungeon game: EXPLORERS OF SKY. Why sky? The bonus episodes are so amazing.
    But honestly, explorers of sky built on the ideas this game made and creates what I consider one of the most impactful storylines of any game. Period. PLEEEEASE PLAY EXPLORERS OF SKY! If you loved this one, that game will truly bring so much joy.
    Anyway, mystery dungeon red and blue rescue team are such fun games and the story is really engaging. Although not playing the post game does take away a really important moment between gengar and gardevoir of all characters. Not to spoil anything but gengar and gardevoir meet and theres a really interesting story between them. 😉

    • @nuviretto
      @nuviretto หลายเดือนก่อน

      In short: Sky is the Platinum of Darkness and Time. It polishes a lot of things, so there's no reason to play the first two versions.
      On the sidenote, there's a (vanilla) romhack called Explorer of Skies that further improves the game's balance and mechanics- even Chikorita is useable! The story is the same, it just adds QoL features. If you'll be emulating Sky, I highly recommend checking out Skies instead.

      I can understand why they didn't bother to cover the Gengar/Gardevoir postgame events, even if they knew about it (you need to do some pretty obscure and slightly difficult things in postgame), but I also can't help but be sad since those events are pretty poignant and reveal a lot about those two characters.
      At least you can find the cutscenes on TH-cam! Go search for it Nick/Tarny~ :D

  • @Radiogumdrop
    @Radiogumdrop 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +115

    There are IQ skills and mechanics available at the start of the game they can be checked without any IQ grinding. For one - Exclusive Move User is available at the start. Turning that on disables AI partners from using their basic attack and they’ll only use their moves. In your partner move menu, there are checks next to different moves. You can click on a move to turn them on and off. If you want Geodude to stop spamming mud sport, go in the menu and click a on mud sport to turn it off. This makes play throughs so much better

    • @relsre
      @relsre 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      _Yes this_ , *Exclusive Move-User* is so important, I almost always have it on for my team members. I was thinking about this the whole time while they were complaining about Charmander not using their attack moves.
      The AI is dumb _by default_ sure, but you can basically make them work for most encounters by micro-managing the Tactics, IQ and Moves selection.

    I know she doesn't usually play post-games of these, but if she plays Explorers of Sky I really hope you convince her to do so as in that game it's actually just the 2nd half of the story instead of extras. There are questions answered there, more adventures and moments to bond with the characters further, and if she feels up to it the extra special episodes are a neat addition to explore the npcs further. The first half stands amazingly well on its own of course, but there's so much more in the second half.

It's 99 floors, you're set back to lvl 5 lose all move levels and enhancements, lose all boosts except your rare quality and you cannot bring items or Poke into the dungeon with you. If we talking classic, no rare qualities as they didn't exist yet. Classic Mew also only spawns in floors 40-99 in 10 floor intervals except the last which is 9. He isn't a guaranteed spawn, requires the music box, is usually transformed like ditto, can and will kill itself on traps or status, can be a set spawn in a monster house meaning ya can't use a room clearing move or orb cuz the leader needs to beat Mew 1v1 face to face, inaccessible like on lava or water, can only spawn once per spawning floor if at all and has a low recruit rate. Recruiting pokemon in that dungeon is a special kinda hell even if ya ignore the mythical fights at the end. That and wish cave's usually gotta be done at least twice as after you can either recruit Jirachi or get a wish at the end of wish cave.

    I've played Red Rescue team quite ALOT in the GBA. My friend lives miles away from me, the way we connected to each other is the wonder mail. Basically if someone gets knocked out of a dungeon, you can opt for a rescue using wonder mail. The friend writes in the code and sends it to you. You complete the wonder mail then you get a code, send that code to your friend and your friend will be rescued from the dungeon. You can also abuse this if you know a nice code, like friend bow or rare candies.
    Edit: That was probably called SOS mail

      Noicky briefly mentioned it but yeah, I love the Wonder Mail / SOS Mail rescuing features in the PMD games. No connections or cables required!
      There's now even online communities for people to post and rescue each other, as well as share interesting/useful Wonder Mail missions. This form of multiplayer really stands the test of time.

    Oh gosh, I remember playing this gem after a friend from elementary introduced me to it. Although I used cheats to shoot my level up to 100 to avoid grinding, the story was still an unimaginable experience. Reaching the end and saying goodbye has had such a lasting emotional impact on me that I still get teary eyed to this day whenever I just hear the music playing at the end credits.

    As a kid, I did the quiz in Red Rescue Team with no information and I got Charmander, thenpicked Squirtle as my partner. When I got Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX, I forget if I went with the quiz result or not (it's optional in that game), but I played as Cubone with an Eevee partner.
    The story was amazing, but I especially loved the post-game story missions. Resolving Gengar's issues was really touching to me. I was devastated when my step-mom took away my games and I later found out it was sold without my permission (neither she nor my dad had any part in purchasing the device or the game).
    I have never completed any of the level reset dungeons. Compulsory save dungeons in general were also a rough thing to attempt for me in Red Rescue Team, since I often didn't have the battery power to guarantee I got through (battery costs added up, and I was using a GBA), and if the power went out without properly saving I would lose all progress and items I went in with.

      @@emberguard5009 It's a great game, and I've put a lot of time into it.
      Here's my thoughts on specific changes:
      IQ changed to Rare Qualities. Great change.
      IQ had some issues, such as the extremely long leveling time, and some pokemon having bad IQ pools. Rare qualities are a much less frustrating system, and have some powerful synergies.
      Default attack is non-damaging (used for checking traps), and moves can be upgraded with use. Mixed feelings, mostly positive.
      On the one hand, default attack gave you an infinite-use move for long dungeons. On the other, it made the game less interesting since you could spam it once you were strong enough. With the stronger emphasis on moves, items like Ether and Elixir are much more valuable.
      Some dungeons are shorter, and auto-move exists. Great change.
      Sometimes exploring is just tedious, and you need to relax a little. Both of these help with that mental fatigue, and make things more approachable.
      Friend zones are just lists now. Bad change.
      Being able to walk in the zones and see the Pokemon you befriended moving around is much cooler than looking at PNGs of them. This also goes with not being able to change your avatar when roaming the town.

    It's interesting when Nick talks about the game near the end and says "sure the game can be goofy and light hearted at times but..." as if that's a negative whatsoever. When he was making fun of the name Team Meanie and saying "What do you expect from a kids game?" it felt needlessly condescending. It just feels like how kids wanting to appear more mature than they actually are talk about childish things when actually being mature is not looking down on that kind of stuff I feel. Sure Team Meanie isn't subtle but not everything needs to be nuanced. Idk, maybe I'm reading too much into it but it feels weird to bring up these points and act like the game is a lesser for it, maybe he's just mentioning it as a caveat for people who don't like that kind of silly stuff.

I don't think I ever once questioned it, because why would I?

      Not to mention how, despite Medicham and Ekans being the stereotypical baddies, Gengar has a lot more nuance as a villain. Especially when his history is revealed in the postgame.
      Spoilers:
      Suddenly, him pinning the blame for the natural disasters on the player isn’t just an excuse of him being a dick. It’s also him throwing any potential suspicion off himself-as he was the human described in the Ninetales legend to begin with.

    The crazier thing is that one of the grass type starters, even with the abundance of grass resistant bosses, are still some of the greatest menaces they've ever designed gameplay-wise, to the point it almost necessitated a resist or a dual resist to compensate. Like, Treecko is such an absurd little guy with agility stacking him up to like a bajillion turns per turn and then firing like 30 bullet seeds across the map was crazy, even without knowing how good some of the items like seeds and orbs were to keep bosses under control back when I played as a kid.
