I had to include 1 Explorers Of Sky soundtrack, because most of the music in this game is just the same (remixed) soundtrack. Really says something about the experience, doesn't it? EDIT: User "Salted Neos" has rightfully corrected me on something I said in this video. You don't have to level up from scratch upon starting a different version, you can access the pokémon from the other version (they keep their levels and such). This means that they make u sit through the entire story AGAIN and play all of the story levels AGAIN with overleveled mons, which might be even dumber than leveling from scratch. My bad for the misinformation, I am a bad TH-camr hihi
In the game's defense, the stacking mechanic is absolutely genius, it adds SO much depth to the strategy asnd synergy of your team members' moveset, it changes how you tackle a dungeon a lot and I would really love to see the mechanic come back! Also I like to believe not all stories have to be about saving the world, you're not even a human in this one, which is cool because there's a ton of other pokemon out there helping their local communities in small ways, that impact the bigger society in a good way, this is just one of those little stories!
Now, while I 100% agree that dealing with the 3 separate versions is a pain... BUT you don't have to level up from scratch to get the legendaries on the other versions, your Pokemon are the same across all versions on your Wii and stay at their current levels. You just can't use Pokemon that are currently on an active party of another version.
Well shit, you're actually right about that. I'll put a correction in my pinned comment. However, this might be even dumber than leveling up from scratch. They really make u sit through the entire story and play all the levels with overleveled mons? WHY
@@WordsOfWisdomForReal At the very least you don't need to grind 3 times, though if I was to guess, it was the only way to make you able to have a full roster of recruits in these games. It'd be a pain tracking 3 different movesets, EXP values, IQ values, etc for 3 separate games while also having any recruit from one go into the other 2 immediately. Not that its great game design, but as an idiot going for an ReA in every PMD, I'll gladly take not having to regrind in these games given how stupid the difficulty spikes are.
Fair enough, I can't really come up with any alternatives either if I am brutally honest. The fact that this is basically the only solution to that ReA problem, is just another reason why these games probably should have never seen the light of day😐 Just feels like such an unfinished product.
Another quality vid!!! I found you channel when I was looking for a review of mystery dungeon that wasn’t 4 minutes long or filmed by some popular pokétuber (I can’t stand most of their voices) and ended up really enjoying your style of videos. After watching your video about explorers of sky I immediately started looking for a physical copy of the game because I don’t know how to use emulators without getting a virus :/ but mostly because it looks and sounds amazing. I’ve never really followed a smaller channel before but after subbing to yours I’ve really enjoyed the fan interaction. Even though you don’t get many views on most vids you still make top quality content. Looking forward to the next vid, keep up the great work;)
Wow man this is the second heartwarming comment in 2 days now, did not expect that at all. I am just a dude who likes to play and talk about videogames, nothing special 🙈 To then have people commenting stuff like this on my videos just makes me so happy, I cant even explain. I don't get a whole lot of comments and I like to just talk to the people that check out my stuff and it's really cool to me to get to know the small audience I have, so the enjoyment in that is just as high for me. Once again thank you for this comment man, it means a lot to me. P.S. Emulators + roms are relatively easy and safe to find and use if u have decent virus protectors like malwarebytes and even something as basic as avast antivirus. I'd link u some, but i think that's against youtube TOS...
I always wanted to play this game as a kid but I couldn‘t figure out how to get it, finally I know why I couldn‘t get it, thank you! And after seeing this video I‘m happy about not playing this game, the DS games were much better.
Ah ohmygosh! I found out about this mystery dungeon game series last year and have had NO LUCK finding the files! I loved all the ds ones and I've really been searching hard but for now it's just a dream to play ! 😂💕 Nice video through !!
Damn For 40Mb this is pretty impressive, not gonna lie. But damn, if this was 2d, there could have been a lot more. Also: wellll the jump to the last rank was kind of insane in all MD games.
@@WordsOfWisdomForReal I mean I mostly picked that up when you mentionned how this was a 3D title and all of that and MOSTLY because of Slaking. Also to some extent I can also assert that these models are re-used from My pokemon ranch also on the Wii ware. So basically this game could also just be a prototype with how few things were actually made for the game (like you said in other comments)
To be fair most mystery dungeon spin offs dont have a super elaborate story, so my headcanon is that this is a window to a parallel dimension where pokemon mystery dungeon games dont have a plot
Also I don't think throwables are really meant as a direct damage, you use them in consession with angles/tunnels/corridoors and escape- at least from my knowledge and gameplay through the games. But unfortunately the ones in this game really are bad damage in comparison to the 30-50 damage you could get by throwing throwables in previous/current PMD games.
I wonder if there where released as free to play there would be more successul. At least that's the feel this games have. In fact the graphics are from Pokémon Rumble, which is also a small spin-off too.
Those graphics of the Pokemon sprites are from the Pokemon rumble series I guess cause they are the same. Btw. What's that accent? 😂 I don't want to joke about it but some several times some words are difficult to understand ( sorry I'm a foreigner haha ). anyways, never mind. Keep up the good work👍
You're the first one to ever complain about that, so I guess it's a you-problem🤷♂️ I am more often than not very insecure about my accent, but I can't really get rid of it if I spend my time speaking my native language all day. Never had someone tell me words are hard to understand though, so thanks I guess👍 I am Dutch btw.
Yeah i never really heard anyone about it, but yeah I am just not a native English speaker. Even though my grammar is (nearly) flawless, I'll always mispronounce some words for sure🤷♂️
@@WordsOfWisdomForReal I wouldn’t pay attention to that guy. He just wants attention for the sake of attention. You’re doing great. ^_^ You got my attention with this video. I love the Mystery Dungeon series, and I never knew about these games. After seeing this video, I have no regrets on not knowing these games exist.
I appreciate that a lot, especially when it's coming from a checkmark😁 And yeah these games are very forgettable and by far the weakest in the series, but they're still enjoyable to an extent. Glad I could educate you on the existence of these😁
I found them on some japanese site after googling the japanese titles. There are also a few videos roaming around on TH-cam that have links to prepatched versions in their descriptions
Yeah I did know, but forgot to mention it in the video😂 Didn't think it would be such a big deal, but like half of these comments had to let me know these are rumble models lol
You clearly don't get it, do you? These games are clearly *not supposed* to have a complex story. They're just fun little adventure games for children.
No, YOU clearly don't get it. I even explain why I have a problem with the story in this video: compared to literally every other entry in the pmd series it's garbage. The other pmd games have very interesting and well thought out storylines and this one is just a huge disappointment that took 0 effort. It wouldn't be as bad if the other games didn't exist yet, but even then "they're for children" isn't a valid reason to rush a plot like this. You're coming at me with this comment, when you clearly didn't listen to what I said.
@@WordsOfWisdomForReal I did listen. I'm just not that good at putting my thoughts to words. My point is, these games are not *meant* to be the same scale as the other Mystery Dungeon games. They seem to be directed towards a younger demographic than the other ones.
I came here to see if my years-long suspicion that some of my problems with GTI‘s writing originated from these games was correct. Seems like it was. Here’s me hoping that this stupid „all the NPCs are selfish jerks and it’s your job to teach them that being nice is nice“ thing *never ever* returns to the series.
I was wondering how you managed to play through the whole game, but then you admit to loving the art style. I hate the art style more than practically any other style I've ever seen. It looks lazy, like someone made first-draft low-poly figures and then didn't bother to add the details. I could not sit through an entire game of this.
Emulated because it’s the only way to get English and i would’ve bought the originals before emulating (like a sane person) but the eshop was shut down

Explorers Story: Epic high-stakes adventure with heavy themes of friendship and facing your own mortality.
Wiiware: Chocolate yummy. :)
Almost on an equal level, I'd say🤔
Nobody mentioning that these are the pokemon models from the pokemon rumble games. Its a mystery dungeon game with toy pokemon.
its weird thats its made by chunsoft and not ambrella
I noticed it and I love the look of the game
In the game's defense, the stacking mechanic is absolutely genius, it adds SO much depth to the strategy asnd synergy of your team members' moveset, it changes how you tackle a dungeon a lot and I would really love to see the mechanic come back!

Yeah would love to see it back that Tower mode, but man monster house is so scary in this game
This Slowking must be level 100 if it takes his approval to be the best rescue team like, of all time, and meet all of these actual deities.
I didn't even know these were a thing, awesome video dude. You deserve way more views.
Thank you mate❤👌

I actually went back to explorers of sky, and despite knowing how it ends I still cried.
What draws me to these games is being able to evolve in dungeons and from the beginning
Wow. can't believe I was so let down about not having these in the west back in the day. lol

pokemon models like these are also used in pokemon rumble blast, pretty cute
And Pokémon rumble
I'm just confused why does this even exist if they didn't focus on the story at all..
Or anything really.
To me it feels like this was their way of testing 3D ideas for Gates to infinity/super mystery dungeon. Just a beta/prototype with a price tag on it
@@WordsOfWisdomForReal Yeah That's it really just a testbed.
Ah yes...
the first Let's Go game.
Looking forward to more vids, this one was brilliant
If you like the style, you should play Rumble Blast if you haven't before!
This game seems to be more of a pure grind type game over something with an actual story or more enticing hook to it.
I should've expected something like this from a wiiware game. But somehow I expected more
Low-key looks like Pokémon Rumble.
Like other comments said they probably ported the skins from rumble, which are hella cute, but a waste on this unfinished game…
that is because those are Pokémon Rumble models
That diglett stack on top of zubat at 30:45 tho...
They couldn't even be arsed to make a themed shop for Slaking.
10:47 what a name for a team
Truly shows my mental age
Damn
For 40Mb this is pretty impressive, not gonna lie.
But damn, if this was 2d, there could have been a lot more.
Also: wellll the jump to the last rank was kind of insane in all MD games.
If you like this art style, it's litteraly ripped from pokemon Rumble, check it out!
I remember reading abiut this in a game magazine as a kid. I was sad it didn't get an int. release
Same, I read this in a magazine, it looked cool!
2020 was such a good year for PMD.
Listening to this review made me realize that Gates to Infinity is just Adventure Squad 2.0.
The Cookies and Chocolates
Are in SUPER MYSTERY DUNGEON
about time someone talked about this game lol
Love your videos! I just found you through my recommended and I love your videos! Keep them up!
I appreciate that a lot, thank you❤
From what I gathered is,
As a dungeon crawler (for its price point) its not that bad.
However, has a Pokemon mystery dungeon game.... it kinda sucks
I've played it, it works and is fine but the story is crap
Yeah if they just want to make short story make it like discovery of ancient temple or something lol
lmao the models are SO kawaiiiiiii. no wonder they are Japanese exclusives. they even made Groudon the literal God of land so darn CUTE. gosh
Just like Animal Crossing censored cocktails as "Vacation Juice", Pokémon has "Compassion Cookies" which are actually ... cannabis biscuits?
No one mentions how those are all Pokemon rumble models or am I not far enough in the video ?
I mean I knew they were from Rumble, but didn't think not mentioning it would be such a big deal😶 Apparently I can't forget anything in videos lol

Don't know if anyone pointed this out but the pokemon's sprite are from pokemon rumble.
They really do look like plushies xD Subbed, ty for this video :)
We choose to forget this game for a reason.
Thank god they skipped to releasing Gates to infinity.
7:43 I can see why the original Pokémon Rumble only used Gen 1 and 4 Pokémon for the most part…
Also I don't think throwables are really meant as a direct damage, you use them in consession with angles/tunnels/corridoors and escape- at least from my knowledge and gameplay through the games. But unfortunately the ones in this game really are bad damage in comparison to the 30-50 damage you could get by throwing throwables in previous/current PMD games.
Would love to see the stack mechanic in a new PMD game with better sprites. It'd be broken tho
I wonder if there where released as free to play there would be more successul.
