Now that you say it i see just how much the cresselia arc is about suicid with the team thinking theyre a desease to the workd and them overcoming the thought of not deserving life and seeing that lifes beautiful.
This game's main ending will never not make me tear up. I think it's so fitting that your partner is typically a weak first form pokemon, and then seeing them just break down on Bidoof at the end... it breaks me too. Accompanied by such a melancholy version of the main theme and it feels so hopeless, but then light breaks through the darkness after the credits. If any video game could be called a work of art, this is it
I cried when Eve was disappearing. The tiny little things like when Eve knows he's going to disappear and him prepping himself up for his final moments with his partner got me hard. They really know how to put those emotions onto a screen with just text. Then it started again when your partner completely breaks down at the beach. Truly masterful.
Confession: I was one of the few caught off-guard by Dusknoir's betrayal. This series up to that point was never judge a book by its cover (see Absol and Gengar from last game), and I thought Dusknoir was gonna be this game's Alakazam.
It’s okay that every Mystery Dungeon game I’ve played made me cry during the ending good-bye sequence... right? Because they do and I feel like I’m not alone in that-
@@fIorapetals Not me. You see, I'm not really interested in the protagonists of the PMD games and can't relate to them anyway, so I'm glad when they're gone. If they were gone, which they aren't. In the first games you can at least release the protagonist and play as anyone else. Which is great, since I don't want to be stuck with a boring starter Pokémon. Newer PMD games don't have that luxury sadly.
I like how you paused when the game asked if you wanted to save your adventure. Almost like you were wondering if you should really do it, considering everything that happened.
I actually full-on cried on Explorers of Time, I shed tears on Blue Rescue Team, I shed tears on Gates to Infinity, I almost shed tears on Super Mystery Dungeon, and here I am shedding tears again. The PMD series' music composers and artists deserve a pay raise.
The true ‘creepy’ ending is when you realise the implications of darkrai at the end, darkrai goes through a dimension portal thing but it gets shattered midway, similar to the start of the game... but the only thing is the start of the game includes both grovyle and the player... though it’s not out of hand to think that this entire game is a complete paradox... like come on... the main character from the future is the only human in existence even though in the present there are no humans so where did the human come from in the first place... unless, darkrai loses his memory at the end of the game in a similar way to the main player and gets turned into a human, similar to the ninetales curse from the original game but reversed ... a lone human in a world filled with Pokemon, an alien to Pokemon basically... then the human meets a treecko assumable who evolves into grovyle eventually. And Then the story unfolds. Darkrai has the dimension scream ability and so does the main player character. So it’s not Farfetch’d to say that darkrai and the player are both in a paradox.... A PARADOX WHICH WAS CAUSED BY BIDOOOOF when he wished for new recruitment buddies at wish cave.
@@jackkemp176 Where does that happen? I doubt that the main character is Darkrai because the one thing the main character remembers after their memory was wiped was their name, and as long as you don't name your main character Darkrai it doesn't add up, but I've never heard that you can find Darkrai in the post game
@@SpencyRockMC Read the "In the games" section you can recruit him in a few dungeons m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Darkrai_(Explorers_of_Time,_Darkness,_and_Sky)
@@jackkemp176 We don't know for a fact that's the same Darkrai. Lots of legendaries become recruitable in the postgame in random dungeons, Darkrai included, but nothing confirms that's the same Darkrai to my knowledge
The best part about me playing this game was that I played it when I was 9 and I had never played any game with a dark and serious tone before so I had no idead what to expect, I was so hooked in the story when it was revealed that grovyle was actually a good guy all along because I did not see it coming at all. This game was a great emotional ride for me and there were 2 times that I cried: -When my character started disapearing. -When Dusknoir asks Grovyle if he shone brightly as he was disapearing. 8/10 Great story, but the dungeons do get tedious after a while, I could never pick this game back up, it'd bore me to death.
@@Horystar yeah. But is annoying as hell, floors are so big and there are so much floors, and if u dont get rayquaza to be ur friend u have to do it all again.
@@daisygeymonat6693 The second time I went through it wasn't for Rayquaza but for a challenge mission, at floor 28 or 29 iirc. I managed to get Rayquaza to join me on my first try.
If Cresselia isn't a burden I don't have a single clue about what she is. BOTH in explorers of Sky and Darkness I suffered and I still remember it. Since then, I always bring like 15 reviver seeds with me in any mystery dungeon.
@@larimar3239 When I first played, I didn't know how reviver seeds worked, so I never really used them. But I also went in with the Pokémon noob mindset of only using your starter so my main team was pretty jacked at Dark Crater. I distinctly remember Cresselia only being a burden during the Darkrai battle as a result of this. That mindset is actually kind of fun in Explorers because it's possible to be powerful enough to mop the floor with Grovyle in Crystal Cave, and that's relatively tough to do.
@@larimar3239 Somehow I managed to make it through without her eating all my reviver seeds... I think she only died once or twice, if that, because I'm usually pretty good about killing things quick... or at the very least, shutting the enemies down. (I was a Riolu, and partner was Vulpix, I think. Imprison is just amazing in that game...)
They did start a dubbed anime series on this one and the first one I wanna say the sub got finished for this one you might look it up because I think they did finish time/darkness it's just subbed.
It was no miracle ; a being higher then myself rescued you. Since the only being higher than dialga is arceus, the literal god of everything, that surely defines it as a miracle, no?
well dialgas says in that post credits cutscene that he gives your partner the future. Wouldn’t that make your partner the higher being, since dialga allowed for the fate of the future to be at the hands of your partner. Therefore bringing you back and everyone. I don’t doubt the arceus theory but like idk i kinda thought about it like that.
@@marcotorres2352 not really? Dialga of the present brought you back with it's powers, but Dialga of the future didn't have enough power to save the entire future from disappearing, which is why arceus helped
@@Mqstodon Dialga of the future was corrupted by Darkrai, so I would say that it wasn't that he wanted to fix what was caused by Darkrai but he wanted to preserve that timeline. Arceus only brough back those who fought full power Primal Dialga from the future. Edit: Misworded what I meant to say so here's the full story: Darkrai corrupted Dialga and destroyed Temporal Tower. Then you and Grovyle travel to the past but you get split up and lose your memories. Dialga sends Dusknoir who successfully brings you, your partner, and Grovyle to that future. Then you all escape and finally make your way to the Forbidden Land and find the airship, only to be attacked by Dusknoir who fails in his mission to capture all 3 of you. While you and your partner travel to fix Temporal Tower Grovyle, Dusknoir, and Celebi prepare to take on Primal Dialga from the future according to Special Episode 5. Your exploration team successfully stops Temporal Tower's destruction and saves time. You, Grovyle, Dusknoir, and Celebi get erased. However you get brought back by present Dialga to make your partner happy again and the other 3 get brought back by Arceus. Primal Dialga from the future was still under Darkrai's control and couldn't be in the present time due to there already being a Dialga and also Primal Dialga was defeated so he couldn't even preserve that timeline. So Darkrai's plan failed in the end and sought to destroy your exploration team but fails again.
@@SuperNovaDragonYT theres a bit more, not only Celeby, Dusknoir and Grovile disapear the entire Future does, including Dialga so your not wrong but also not completely right
i literally just started over a new explorer of sky game so i'm pretty damn happy too, but scared that it also talks about the post game that i never saw and spoils me
AveryTubeHD the main game is basically the same with some new mechanics. The draw of sky though is the extra stories you unlock as you progress that gives more context to some of the characters. For example one of the stories follows Guildmaster Wigglytuff’s first exploration. So if you were looking for more stories to follow I’d give it a go.
Why would you try to kill someone who's tied up by slashing at them with a sharp object? It's like asking for them to escape when the rope gets too damaged.
I cried at every endings in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. This spin-off is quite precious to me too, I love every moment of it. Being a Pokémon, meeting our new best friend and precious partner, living wonderful adventures with our partner... But then... the ending, the most difficult part in this game. Forced to leave the world behind while we wanted to stay in this world, but in some cases, fate can be cruel. I even predicted our partner would be the one to disappear someday and it really happened. But eventually, we ended being reunited as we're inseperable. If they bring a new Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game in the future, I could imagine the ending where the hero and partner "both" disappear (could think about Terranigma too). If I was in this situation, I may be sad, scared... but at least... I would stay with my precious partner until the very end, and that would be enough for me to feel reassured as I wouldn't be alone. In any case, I love your explanations in your videos and I'm glad you covered this game. Keep going. ^^
I love the Mystery Dungeon series (started with Gates to Infinity because I’m a loser)! They all make me cry too though because I don’t do good-byes well and your partner is always so precious I hate how sad it makes them...
OOH OOH! CONCEPT: You and your partner are both humans turned pokemon, and you don't remember anything from your human life except the fact that you were human, and your name. When your partner tells you their name, you get an odd sense of deja-vu, and throughout the game, it bothers your character a lot, and near the end of the main story, your character has a dream of two people talking, which are your character and partner in human form, and you wake up, confused about what the dream was, so you decide to tell your partner about it, and they tell you they had the same dream! You and your partner decide to see what it was about, so you go to Xatu and he tells you how you were both humans and whatnot, and the game kinda plays out from there.
40:48 I think the ending actually helped me more than anything. PMD1 and PMD2 are similar in that you know your going to disappear, but don't tell your partner until it's happening. PMD1 was a game I played while my dad was deployed in Iraq, and it started a lesson that I truly learned in PMD2. People sometimes have to to away, be it simply moving away for a while, or something much more permanent. And that, while I should still be sad that they are gone, I can still move on, even if it hurts. Odd that it's a lesson I learned after my dad cane back from Iraq alive and well, but a lesson I've learned nonetheless. I understand that my experience is not the typical one for people, but endings like this are better than happy endings to me, because great acts of heroism, are almost never without sacrifice. EDIT: Something I think you missed out on bringing up is that, right before the final fight with Darkrai, he manipulates you into seeing your partner join his side, and basically tries to trick you into either joining his side outright, or to just stand still long enough in the "real world" for him to off you. And if you choose to join him, you are barely snapped out in time to see him about to strike. A nice little detail that I think most people see through easily enough, but it leads to a nice moment of actual thought and roleplay.
13:33 there's actually a dialogue change between time darkness and sky. trouble originally says "if that happens... were done for." essentially saying if his off the top escape plan doesn't work they will die. They changed it to "don't even think about it."
I couldn't agree more with 8:07 - both as a player and a game designer I hate nothing more than lack of consistency between story and gameplay. But I still love the Mystery Dungeon series - no other games have made me see teammates/NPCs as actual characters and not just a sprite with few lines of dialogue attached. And hearing Don't Ever Forget again made me tear up.
YES! whoisthisgit is finally covering mystery dungeon! I'm currently playing mystery dungeon right now and have absolutely fallen in love with the series and characters. The game said I was a charmander and I choose my teammate to be a treeko names barry. I never thought I'd see the day but I'm so excited.
i played the game once, but i felt like the gameplay was too boring and repetitive for me to stay interested long enough. it`s a shame too because the story seems so good
shit, this ending made me cry for sure. i've never felt like this, only just felt bad when some emotional moments happened. but this game, made me just cry.
Something which isn't mentioned often is that Pokedex info of Dusknoir says it can emit a dark aura that weakens Pokemon's minds and makes them more prone to accepting orders from them. That would help explaining why your partner, and all of the present-time Pokemon trust Dusknoir that much and why you, having the mind of a human, do not get affected.
Bram ;; YES! I love Pokémon Amie/Refresh, but I’ve never really been able to get fully behind the transition to 3D Pokémon models over sprites. I suppose the change makes sense from a business/design standpoint or whatever, but I’ve just always mostly preferred sprite art over anything else for games. I can enjoy a 3D model game just fine (Mario Galaxy, Animal Crossing New Leaf and City Folk, and any game for the Switch are all AMAZING and so pretty) but something about pixel art just makes me happy to look at it. And games like Stardew Valley, Spiritferer, and even this one clearly prove that this art style can still hold up well today.
@@fIorapetals I personally am a huge fan of Pokemon with sprites. Maybe it's because I grew up with them but I feel like the 3d models are lacking something. There was some backlash with it when sword and shield were revealed. The whole thing about lazy animations and such. What I think Pokemon mystery dungeon EoS and stardew valley have in common is that it's very detailed pixel art with a lot of attention to detail which I extremely love. You could for example see the shadows and such in the sprites when the character moves. With the 3d Pokemon models I feel like they are just one color without very much detail (I don't know if they changed this in sword and shield). But I hope they step up their game in the future or maybe even go back to those old sprites. Though I must say I like Pokemon mystery dungeon DX
When I was a kid I played explorers of the darkness and in the part when your character starts saying that he is disappearing I turned off the nintendo and started a new game because I was crying a lot and I thought my character would die.
“the nintendo” this is me, speaking for every nintendo fan ever. hand over your breathing privileges and take a trip to gay baby jail (thats a reference not an insult) for the rest of ur life
For the last few months, I've been on a project to watch every single Creepy Bad Endings episode (and I'm not that far away now) This was the first one that truly hurt.
Yep, in every game, you go back to your world after the main story end, then come back. Except one. And wow that SPECIFIC one hit harder than expected. Say what you want about the gameplay of the 3DS Mystery Dungeon games (I'm not too fond of the uselessness of normal attacks myself) but Super Mystery Dungeon was still very good.
@@JasonsHoerbuchstube Personally, as much as I am more of a Rescue Team person (90% because of nostalgia blindness probably, that much I'm willing to admit -- haven't played the remake though apart from the demo which didn't really impress me), PSMD is my absolute favourite in terms of story and characters.
@@WaddleBih The remake was nice, I just never was a rescue team person. I can't really watch these games through nostalgia glasses since I played all of them for the first time within a few months. I also love Super's sound track btw. It's not as great as these games, I don't think anything will ever top EoS, but still. Especially the final boss theme is a banger. And while really not liking the partner in Rescue team, I think the partner in PSMD may be my favourite character of the series
Pokemon mystery dungeon has changed my life. It taught me friendship and kindness and to always do my best The series has gotten years out of me on multiple occasions. For that I say it's the best pokemon spinoff series of all time and one of the best game series of all time. If you haven't played it than you should.
I think there will be one but I don't know when. My dream scenario would be them announcing a PMD 2 character for Smash, which would bring this incredible music and probably a Temporal Tower stage and do all of this to celebrate a remake
@@JasonsHoerbuchstube Probably wouldn't happen, it seems that Smash only cares about mainline games. But I think that not having some epic boss music is a sin
Oh my goodness, this was a nostalgia trip and a half. I've never played explorers of sky, so it's nice to know what happened to grovyle and the other Pokemon. And even after seeing the ending multiple times, it still brought tears to my eyes. Never actually managed to beat Darkrai as a kid, so it's also nice to see the game concluded.
? I'm can't tell if this is a serious question, but if it is, here you go lol PMD Explores has "Abilities" like the regular Pokemon games as well as "IQ Skills" that you can gain by increasing IQ with certain items. So the Ability Intimidate (which lowers the physical attack of any opponent), which you're probably thinking of, is different from the IQ skill Intimidator which has a chance of making the opponent fail to attack.
@@justapasserbyrandomperson9325 I once got this James didn't attack! Dialga's intimidator IQ skill made it cringe! Pikachu didn't attack! Dialga's intimidator IQ skill made it cringe! Dialga used Roar of time James didn't attack! Dialga's intimidator IQ skill made it cringe! Pikachu didn't attack! Dialga's intimidator IQ skill made it cringe! Dialga is doing nothing else James used Ember The attack missed Pikachu didn't attack! Dialga's intimidator IQ skill made it cringe! And about 3 more misses 2 intimidation happened in a row And, Dialga used Roar of time Oh no! James was defeated!
@@masterwoo4359 Lolol that's some unbelievable bad luck there. Ironically enough, the opposite happened to me. I had Intimidator as Turtwig (or was it Treecko?) and I was about to die in a Monster House but everyone kept cringing and I somehow made it out alive >:D
I must have played this game hundreds of times over the course of my childhood and even now, and every single time those emotional moments hit me as hard as the first time I saw them. It's a very enjoyable story and the great soundtracks make it even better. I was tearing up watching this video, and I wasn't even the one playing! Absolutely my favorite Pokemon game and my favorite spin off game as well.
The only reason why I didn't cried with this ending as a kid was because I played Blue Rescue Team first and I knew that the avatar was going to come back. And yeah, I actually cried with that one.
Oh man, this game has always stuck with me. It was the first ever game which really punched me in the gut with its ending, but I’m so glad I got to experience it firsthand. The MD games afterwards really didn’t have the same effect as this one.
Watching this video was a nostalgic trip. I actually teared up twice and tearing up is something that I don't do often. If they did a remake of this series it'd probably be called "Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers DX or something close to that.
The Nostolgia. On Christmas 2011 i believe it was, i got a Nintendo DS Lite in silver. The game i got with it: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time. I played on my first playthrough till the expedition i believe and then got stuck there. In a new game i got to the forest with the first Timewheel. Got stuck there too. I didn't play it for quite a while after that. Then i made a new game. Because i was in the Beyblade hype, i called myself Gingka (protagonist of Beyblade Metal Fusion and also a Ginger like me) and Sora (a later character from the series who also uses the Bey Pegasus, but with a slightly different version). Gingka was a Mudkip and Sora i think a Chimchar. I played through without getting stuck. When i entered the boss fight against Dialga, i listened to the Music for a bit and got goosebumbs. And lost. After grinding a bit, Gingka the Mudkip learned Dire Situation, which makes the enemies HP the same as yours (150 HP max). With this, Dialga was a breeze. Then the Ending came. I've seen the ending on TH-cam before, but now it hit REALLY deep. Seeing your best friend going back home in tears because you effectively died is such a sad moment, and when you come back thanks to Dialga, well let's just say that that was the moment in this Video where i had to hold back my tears the most. After that, i played the afterstory a bit. We graduated and did a few missions, but it never came to the point with Azurills Nightmare. Now i have lent my Sister the Game ( though i dont know if she even played it, since she refused to give back pokemon Pearl since she didnt play through it) which is why i cant revisit it right now. I still have the DS Lite, but the Top Screen and the Speakers dont work anymore, since a bit of the connector on the right side where the lights for the battery life are, got away and now it doesnt hold into place and the cables got a bit, lets say, streched out. Loved the Video, when the Cutscene before the Titlescreen came up and the Mystery Dungeon Theme came, thats when i first teared up. Over time it became a real fight against them. I thank you for bringing such fond memories back. Also, when will you be making that top 10 Video about Bosses you want to hit with a Hammer?
I played Mystery Dungeon Blue myself, and I wish I had it. I lost it some time ago, but I now have super mystery dungeon. I watched a lp of this game to get a better grasp of the game's story. It's every bit as fantastic as it seems. Then when the ending came, I couldn't hold it back and I cried. It may be repetitive in the gameplay department, but the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon has to be THE best series of games on the DS. I'm proud to have had the honor of playing two of these games so far.
Ho-lee-frick. The pokemon mystery dungeon series is a deep one for sure. He devs do a amazing job at storytelling and enhancing with previous knowledge of the Pokémon world. Heck, they USE POKÉDEX ENTRIES AS CANON INFO. Sure, the mainline games are good. But they _have_ been decaying as of late. But the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon serious will be, and always will be legendary. A staple in my life for sure. Now I’m gonna list off things I liked and stories of my first experience of this game! 1. When Dusknoir arrived for the first time I already had bad vibes. I was afraid of dusknoir and I admittedly still am. He’s terrifying! His looks scream villain material! And this game proved my poring further... 2. The music in this game is amazing. Now imagine if it was orchestrated. 3. When was Grovyle pushing Dusknoir back into the future, somethign really hit me there. I was just in awe of what was happening. We’re never gonna see Grovyle again? We’re gonna disappear into nothing? I have no words for what I was feeling. And I’m afraid I still can’t explain it today. 4. During the flashbacks I didn’t know it was a flashback and I got really confused. 5. I think dimensional scream is really cool and I use it for ONE of my OCs. Sadly no one ever got the reference. How sad... 6. I always thought Cresselia was supposed to be a good guy because she’s the good dream? And then she told us to frick off??? But then it was not Cresselia and then I was no longer confused. 7. You know you’re having a bad day when the frICKING GOD OF SPACE SHOWS UP AND *KIDNAPS YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TAKING YOU TO SOME SORT OF PRIVATE DIMENSION WHERE NO ONE WILL HEER YOU SCREAM AND IT’S ALL OVER A TINY LITTLE HOLE.* Talk about overreaction. 8. When you think about it, there are many kidnap attempts in this game and it’s scary. 9. After hearing the music where we disappear and the music where the future trio disappear, I cried because I remember how emotional it was for me back then. And I remember why I was somehow attached to those short lived characters. And then I cried some more. And watching your partner cry in front of you, because of you, broke my heart. I don’t ever wanna leave them again. Fay. I miss you. And if I get the opportunity to get a vulpix as my partner again, I will FLIP out of happiness.
This game holds #1 for me, and no matter how many times I’ve beaten it and expect the ending, it always makes me teary eyed. Amazing game and wish that Nintendo could remake a masterpiece like this
The funny thing about Epilogue 1 is that, when another guild member has to graduate, the player and their partner have to also pretend. That would be a really awkward and very dramatic situation, lol.
I love this game. EVERYTHING! The story is beutiful, the characters are surprisingly memorable and it really does feel like an adventure. I love all the plot twists, the story handles them so well. And the future, my god. I distinctly remember that when I was a kid I always was scared shitless when dusknojr appeared, because the future is such a terrifying area. The feeling of hopelessness and destruction of the future is handled soooo well. My god, I could gash about this game for an hour
I feel you. Played GTI two times, broke down in tears both. Honestly I don't understand why GTI is so disliked, I loved it and it was my first PMD game.
Ehh it's story was ok, it was my first mystery dungeon and was fun and you get to Crack an giant ice cube about to destroy the world with the power of DETERMINATION and hope I guess lol
I think GTI was disliked mainly for it being a heavy department from the rest of the PMD games in terms of gameplay. I played it before but never finished because the gameplay was just so lackluster compared to the previous games.
@@superplayerex2431 I absolutely hated that i couldn't speed up the dialogue and that everything was either piss-easy or ball-crushing hard. Also the characters were extremly uninteresting and i couldn't stand any of them
i feel like there’s two moods the video brings up; “wow, this is so nostalgic for me and it makes me happy to see it again” and “i’ll break darkrai’s fucking skull in if he so much as looks at the player character”
Darkrai gets brain erased and travels to a different dimension, Proceeds to cause nightmare to little boy/girl, Then get caught by a ten year old Pokemon trainer all i can think of is Jaiden saying "I'm not going to fight a legendary" "NOW GET IN THE BOX." while shoving Darkrai in the PC for all eternity.
I love how the part with darkrai we think about suicide for the sake of the world and wigglytuff speech later on is just so...ack it makes me cry It feels so weird to have a fictional character comfort you(in a way)
If you want to see Darkrai redeem himself, play Pokepark 2. It's really fun too, I love the gameplay aspect of not being a Strategy RPG for once. Also I was wondering where Palkia was when his twin Dialga was going nuts
Just to rub it into Darkrai's face, I tossed him a ReviSer Seed and he consumed it after I whipped him. Was super damn satisfying to not only kick his ass but to make him look like a fool in the process. I gave him a taste of having false hope snatched away from you, like he seems to enjoy doing to others
Basically, how Time Travel works is; Until it happens, it doesn't happen. It's always confusing, but basically that's how it works. If something is fated to happen (example, time stopping), then it has already happened. If it isn't fated to happen (time not stopping), then it has to happen for it to, well, happen. It's like a true ending, it doesn't happen until it does. I think there's a logic behind time travel that unites it, and we can't understand it because it is just a little too much, but basically the past, present, and future are tied in a special time line thing of sorts where the events that happen in those times only happen when it happens, and thus the future can be changed. It's like driving a car. You can't drive it until you start it up. And just like in the future you get to drive a Lamborghini, you can only drive a Lamborghini when you get one, otherwise you can't do so. The idea I believe it works by is that the future is one of many, and so the reason why the future has yet to change despite it going to be changed is because there is the possibility it won't be changed, so it doesn't change. It goes back to that fated thing I mentioned, if there is no other path to follow, it will happen. For example, it's like waking up. You will wake up, so it will happen. You can't stop that. Or, it's like day turning to night. The sun will go down inevitably, so in the very near future (let's say, midnight), it will be nighttime. You can't not make it that. In the sense that it has multiple chances to happen, it's like life. You may live that day, maybe you will die. But if in future you are alive, it won't make you dead until you die. Because there is still a path where you don't die. Until it happens, it won't happen. A little convoluted and confusing, but basically it is a case of "It happens, so it happens". Straightforward.
It's always a treat to see this game being talked about. It's easily not only one of my favourite Pokemon games, but also one of my favourite games ever
Arceus: " _Oh, and Dialga you're grounded for a month._ " Dialga: "BUT DAD, PALKIA'S DOING CRAZY SHIT TOO-" Arceus: " _Watch your mouth. And leave your brother out of this._ "
1:01:42 Nooo! I love Darkrai. He's a good boi in the movies. And even his dex entry confirms he never actively tries to harm others. Though the lore about the ghost girls is sad.
Man. The player char just straight-up got Time Parodoxed out of existence. That's sad. At least in every other mystery dungeon game, they return to the human world. In this, he just retroactively stops existing. No human world or anything. Thanks, Dialga, for returning the Player to the timeline.
Thanks for making me cry all over again... and yes, it did kinda traumatise me as a kid... and well, at first I kept on reminding myself that I'd somehow come back, because I knew I would... BUT THEN THE CREDITS CAME ALONG AND I GOT SO SCARED and was like "WHAT NO WAY" because I thought it was really it after then, not knowing that there was a whole 2nd part to the game afterwards.... so I think that's what traumatised me most...
I love how this game is still getting attention all these years later, hands down my favourite game ever, best storyline, so emotional, I've only ever had 2-3 friends who've actually played this, so glad I can share my love for the game with everyone here who was as touched by the game as I was
Honestly, I love this series. PMD is the game that started my interest for games. Specifically red rescue team. My personal favorite is super, as I was hit in the gut alot. Feeling like losing a friend hurts and that's why I think super got me good. Heck, partner's theme of that game is what I consider as "the song that describes me" and I just say that there's nothing wrong with bieng attached to a character / song
51:38 Dialga: "A being higher than myself... That being's power...could have done it." Me: it's either Arceus, who never appeared in the whole game, or the allmighty kecleon
I want someone to mod in a creepy bad ending if you lose to primal dialga. Everyone of your friends and allies fall in despair realizing you have failed. The world shakes and sputters as the eternal darkness begins to surround. Your partner says sorry to you, and to the world for not making it. The world glows grey, and the tortured cry of dialga is heard. "BUT, THE FUTURE REFUSED TO CHANGE."
YES my favorite video game series and my favorite of the series (not to diminish the rest, they're all great) gets covered in one of my favorite TH-cam video series. Lots of series.
This game means so much to me! I could go on about it all day! It was the very first game I had ever gotten. I remember being at my aunt's cabin for my 5th birthday getting a DS while holding my magby card which my cousin gave me (first Pokemon card!) I remember always being so scared of the music in the bow touching thingy at the beginning, and constantly restarting because I never read dialogue back then so I only ever got up to Drowsee. Watching this video and listening to the music makes me want to download the whole soundtrack because it's so good and nostalgic!! I hope someday I can get my memories erased just so I can play this game blind again! Also I was shocked by the Dusknoir twist because I didn't judge Pokemon as a kid and thought he was super cool and super strong. I hope another PMD game gets made someday! With an awesome story! Or that the main games step up their story.
The fatal error that Darkrai made was getting overly confident & literally saying he's the one who messed up space *right in front of the God of space itself*
I distinctly remember beating Dialga as a child and seeing this ending, then going in the living room crying and hugging my grandmother telling her how much I love her. I've never had my emotions evoked to the extent this game was able to.
I think I was one of the few to trust Dusnoir, I was 10 or 11 at the time I played it and hadn't played anything with a twist like it at that point even his faint smile didn't seem odd to me this was the pokemon who had just saved me and my partner's life it would have felt like a betrayal to not trust him. When the reveal came I was shocked and maybe even a bit in denial I didn't want to trust Grovyle he was the character I had spent hating for so long but once I did trust him he became just as much a friend and partner as my real one I think I had to take a break when he sacrificed himself because I was crying so hard. Looking back on it all the way this game completely changed my perspective of two characters in such a short amount of time is amazing it taught me that things are not always as they seem and gave a love for Grovyle that carries on to today

Creepy Bad Endings # 87: th-cam.com/video/MWldSoHv5vY/w-d-xo.html
Everyone forgets that this game had one of the best anti-suicide messages in all of gaming. Ngl, im proud.
I think grovyle saved my life no joke
@@SanyIsTaken Deadass. The entire Cresselia/Darkrai arc was a hidden anti-suicide message, and its honestly really well made
Now that you say it i see just how much the cresselia arc is about suicid with the team thinking theyre a desease to the workd and them overcoming the thought of not deserving life and seeing that lifes beautiful.
i didnt even realize it had that message in it. man i need to replay the games again
@@sky-sx5gt ikr. Shit went over my head the first time, but when i played it again later, i noticed it
This game's main ending will never not make me tear up. I think it's so fitting that your partner is typically a weak first form pokemon, and then seeing them just break down on Bidoof at the end... it breaks me too. Accompanied by such a melancholy version of the main theme and it feels so hopeless, but then light breaks through the darkness after the credits. If any video game could be called a work of art, this is it
**sobs** WHY HAVEN’T I FINISHED THIS GAME YET DAMMIT IS IT BECAUSE I’M STILL A CRYBABY?
I cried when Eve was disappearing. The tiny little things like when Eve knows he's going to disappear and him prepping himself up for his final moments with his partner got me hard. They really know how to put those emotions onto a screen with just text. Then it started again when your partner completely breaks down at the beach. Truly masterful.
That was just beautiful
@hotshowerh2o356 This is just a little nitpick, but 16:38 shows that both Eve and Hexa are female.
Confession: I was one of the few caught off-guard by Dusknoir's betrayal. This series up to that point was never judge a book by its cover (see Absol and Gengar from last game), and I thought Dusknoir was gonna be this game's Alakazam.
Well, there's always Gates to Infinity...
You’re not alone in that....
Yeah, same here.
Caught me off guard the first time playing this as well
I played when I was very young, when I still trusted everyone, so his betrayal blindsided me as well.
I think there should be another variety of endings called, "Sad endings", or something like that. For endings like this that tug at your heartstrings.
Or "Downer Endings" or "Bittersweet Endings".
Yes, "Weepy Sad Endings"!
It’s okay that every Mystery Dungeon game I’ve played made me cry during the ending good-bye sequence... right? Because they do and I feel like I’m not alone in that-
@@fIorapetals Not me. You see, I'm not really interested in the protagonists of the PMD games and can't relate to them anyway, so I'm glad when they're gone. If they were gone, which they aren't. In the first games you can at least release the protagonist and play as anyone else. Which is great, since I don't want to be stuck with a boring starter Pokémon. Newer PMD games don't have that luxury sadly.
you can add celes suicide attemp from ff6
Can we just talk about how Palkia just casually breaks into your place to kidnap you?
Palkia:(breaks in your home)

Palkia: *Are you sure about that?*
At least it is not getting sexually assaulted by palkia
I like how you paused when the game asked if you wanted to save your adventure.
Almost like you were wondering if you should really do it, considering everything that happened.
* You have a bad feeling...
Out of all special episodes, the Grovyle one definitely hits the hardest. I cry everytime.
I actually full-on cried on Explorers of Time, I shed tears on Blue Rescue Team, I shed tears on Gates to Infinity, I almost shed tears on Super Mystery Dungeon, and here I am shedding tears again. The PMD series' music composers and artists deserve a pay raise.

sorry did i mistakenly clicked on a "heart melting ending" or a "creepy bad " and whos cutting onions in my computer desktop, Hexa is that you? why?
Welcome to PMD. Enjoy your stay... someday.
The true ‘creepy’ ending is when you realise the implications of darkrai at the end, darkrai goes through a dimension portal thing but it gets shattered midway, similar to the start of the game... but the only thing is the start of the game includes both grovyle and the player... though it’s not out of hand to think that this entire game is a complete paradox... like come on... the main character from the future is the only human in existence even though in the present there are no humans so where did the human come from in the first place... unless, darkrai loses his memory at the end of the game in a similar way to the main player and gets turned into a human, similar to the ninetales curse from the original game but reversed ... a lone human in a world filled with Pokemon, an alien to Pokemon basically... then the human meets a treecko assumable who evolves into grovyle eventually. And Then the story unfolds. Darkrai has the dimension scream ability and so does the main player character. So it’s not Farfetch’d to say that darkrai and the player are both in a paradox.... A PARADOX WHICH WAS CAUSED BY BIDOOOOF when he wished for new recruitment buddies at wish cave.
But you can literally find Darkrai again in postgame and it's implied to be the same Darkrai as he has no memory.
@@jackkemp176 Where does that happen? I doubt that the main character is Darkrai because the one thing the main character remembers after their memory was wiped was their name, and as long as you don't name your main character Darkrai it doesn't add up, but I've never heard that you can find Darkrai in the post game
@@SpencyRockMC Read the "In the games" section you can recruit him in a few dungeons m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Darkrai_(Explorers_of_Time,_Darkness,_and_Sky)
@@jackkemp176 We don't know for a fact that's the same Darkrai. Lots of legendaries become recruitable in the postgame in random dungeons, Darkrai included, but nothing confirms that's the same Darkrai to my knowledge
Damn, I never thought of that. That sounds so epic, damn the continuity of that theory, it just sounds epic to be a legendary, even a former one.
The best part about me playing this game was that I played it when I was 9 and I had never played any game with a dark and serious tone before so I had no idead what to expect, I was so hooked in the story when it was revealed that grovyle was actually a good guy all along because I did not see it coming at all.
This game was a great emotional ride for me and there were 2 times that I cried:
-When my character started disapearing.
-When Dusknoir asks Grovyle if he shone brightly as he was disapearing.
8/10 Great story, but the dungeons do get tedious after a while, I could never pick this game back up, it'd bore me to death.
They had us in the first half, not gonna lie
*Post game: Rayquaza place haves like 60 floors. And every floor is so THICC*

I take it you too had trouble with Cresselia dying *all the freaking time DAMMIT*
As a veteran from Red and Blue Rescue I wondered why they were so generous with reviver seeds.
Then that part came along and it all made sense.
Wish I could relate, but I seem to have forgotten Burden getting KO'ed so often
If Cresselia isn't a burden I don't have a single clue about what she is.
BOTH in explorers of Sky and Darkness I suffered and I still remember it.
Since then, I always bring like 15 reviver seeds with me in any mystery dungeon.
@@larimar3239 When I first played, I didn't know how reviver seeds worked, so I never really used them. But I also went in with the Pokémon noob mindset of only using your starter so my main team was pretty jacked at Dark Crater. I distinctly remember Cresselia only being a burden during the Darkrai battle as a result of this. That mindset is actually kind of fun in Explorers because it's possible to be powerful enough to mop the floor with Grovyle in Crystal Cave, and that's relatively tough to do.
@@larimar3239 Somehow I managed to make it through without her eating all my reviver seeds... I think she only died once or twice, if that, because I'm usually pretty good about killing things quick... or at the very least, shutting the enemies down. (I was a Riolu, and partner was Vulpix, I think. Imprison is just amazing in that game...)
Yup.
Just like Detective Pikachu, we need a movie about Mystery Dungeon..
*It would be awesome.*
I think an anime season would be great too
JokerEpicDog they made a few episodes of mystery dungeon on Cartoon Network
@@thatoneguy2654 I know, but those were specials. I would love to see those episodes turned into a full season.
They did start a dubbed anime series on this one and the first one I wanna say the sub got finished for this one you might look it up because I think they did finish time/darkness it's just subbed.
@@boocrimson7720 Really? Can I find it on TH-cam?
It was no miracle ; a being higher then myself rescued you.
Since the only being higher than dialga is arceus, the literal god of everything, that surely defines it as a miracle, no?
You make your partner so sad that Dialga feels it from all the way back at temporal tower. This prompts literally god itself to bring you back. Damn.
well dialgas says in that post credits cutscene that he gives your partner the future. Wouldn’t that make your partner the higher being, since dialga allowed for the fate of the future to be at the hands of your partner. Therefore bringing you back and everyone. I don’t doubt the arceus theory but like idk i kinda thought about it like that.
@@marcotorres2352 not really? Dialga of the present brought you back with it's powers, but Dialga of the future didn't have enough power to save the entire future from disappearing, which is why arceus helped
@@Mqstodon Dialga of the future was corrupted by Darkrai, so I would say that it wasn't that he wanted to fix what was caused by Darkrai but he wanted to preserve that timeline. Arceus only brough back those who fought full power Primal Dialga from the future.
Edit: Misworded what I meant to say so here's the full story: Darkrai corrupted Dialga and destroyed Temporal Tower. Then you and Grovyle travel to the past but you get split up and lose your memories. Dialga sends Dusknoir who successfully brings you, your partner, and Grovyle to that future. Then you all escape and finally make your way to the Forbidden Land and find the airship, only to be attacked by Dusknoir who fails in his mission to capture all 3 of you. While you and your partner travel to fix Temporal Tower Grovyle, Dusknoir, and Celebi prepare to take on Primal Dialga from the future according to Special Episode 5. Your exploration team successfully stops Temporal Tower's destruction and saves time. You, Grovyle, Dusknoir, and Celebi get erased. However you get brought back by present Dialga to make your partner happy again and the other 3 get brought back by Arceus. Primal Dialga from the future was still under Darkrai's control and couldn't be in the present time due to there already being a Dialga and also Primal Dialga was defeated so he couldn't even preserve that timeline. So Darkrai's plan failed in the end and sought to destroy your exploration team but fails again.
@@SuperNovaDragonYT theres a bit more, not only Celeby, Dusknoir and Grovile disapear the entire Future does, including Dialga so your not wrong but also not completely right

@@honey_skulls1237 it does btw
@@just9019 thanks for telling me!
AveryTubeHD the main game is basically the same with some new mechanics.
The draw of sky though is the extra stories you unlock as you progress that gives more context to some of the characters. For example one of the stories follows Guildmaster Wigglytuff’s first exploration.
So if you were looking for more stories to follow I’d give it a go.
Why would you try to kill someone who's tied up by slashing at them with a sharp object? It's like asking for them to escape when the rope gets too damaged.
It's alright if you don't slash the ropes. Those Sableye were just poor shots.

You ok?
I have this game and I'm delaying so much playing it due to... well, life. I hope it can make me feel something inside.
@@KCGabe Is sadness up your alley?
Oh dude you doing okay? Thats pretty serious stuff
I cried at every endings in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. This spin-off is quite precious to me too, I love every moment of it. Being a Pokémon, meeting our new best friend and precious partner, living wonderful adventures with our partner... But then... the ending, the most difficult part in this game. Forced to leave the world behind while we wanted to stay in this world, but in some cases, fate can be cruel. I even predicted our partner would be the one to disappear someday and it really happened. But eventually, we ended being reunited as we're inseperable.
If they bring a new Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game in the future, I could imagine the ending where the hero and partner "both" disappear (could think about Terranigma too). If I was in this situation, I may be sad, scared... but at least... I would stay with my precious partner until the very end, and that would be enough for me to feel reassured as I wouldn't be alone.
In any case, I love your explanations in your videos and I'm glad you covered this game. Keep going. ^^
Yeah I think it's the better then the main series games
@@Liz-gu4hh story wise.... yes it's superior
I love the Mystery Dungeon series (started with Gates to Infinity because I’m a loser)! They all make me cry too though because I don’t do good-byes well and your partner is always so precious I hate how sad it makes them...
What I like about this game is that it's a visual novel but better sort of.
OOH OOH! CONCEPT:
You and your partner are both humans turned pokemon, and you don't remember anything from your human life except the fact that you were human, and your name. When your partner tells you their name, you get an odd sense of deja-vu, and throughout the game, it bothers your character a lot, and near the end of the main story, your character has a dream of two people talking, which are your character and partner in human form, and you wake up, confused about what the dream was, so you decide to tell your partner about it, and they tell you they had the same dream! You and your partner decide to see what it was about, so you go to Xatu and he tells you how you were both humans and whatnot, and the game kinda plays out from there.
40:48
I think the ending actually helped me more than anything. PMD1 and PMD2 are similar in that you know your going to disappear, but don't tell your partner until it's happening. PMD1 was a game I played while my dad was deployed in Iraq, and it started a lesson that I truly learned in PMD2. People sometimes have to to away, be it simply moving away for a while, or something much more permanent. And that, while I should still be sad that they are gone, I can still move on, even if it hurts. Odd that it's a lesson I learned after my dad cane back from Iraq alive and well, but a lesson I've learned nonetheless. I understand that my experience is not the typical one for people, but endings like this are better than happy endings to me, because great acts of heroism, are almost never without sacrifice.
EDIT: Something I think you missed out on bringing up is that, right before the final fight with Darkrai, he manipulates you into seeing your partner join his side, and basically tries to trick you into either joining his side outright, or to just stand still long enough in the "real world" for him to off you. And if you choose to join him, you are barely snapped out in time to see him about to strike. A nice little detail that I think most people see through easily enough, but it leads to a nice moment of actual thought and roleplay.
13:33 there's actually a dialogue change between time darkness and sky. trouble originally says "if that happens... were done for." essentially saying if his off the top escape plan doesn't work they will die. They changed it to "don't even think about it."
I couldn't agree more with 8:07 - both as a player and a game designer I hate nothing more than lack of consistency between story and gameplay. But I still love the Mystery Dungeon series - no other games have made me see teammates/NPCs as actual characters and not just a sprite with few lines of dialogue attached. And hearing Don't Ever Forget again made me tear up.
YES!
whoisthisgit is finally covering mystery dungeon!
I'm currently playing mystery dungeon right now and have absolutely fallen in love with the series and characters.
The game said I was a charmander and I choose my teammate to be a treeko names barry.
I never thought I'd see the day but I'm so excited.
There are some other mystery dungeon videos.
Did you finished the main story?
thats awsome! hope you have alot of fun :D
@@katzenpandajunior I am!
i played the game once, but i felt like the gameplay was too boring and repetitive for me to stay interested long enough. it`s a shame too because the story seems so good
shit, this ending made me cry for sure. i've never felt like this, only just felt bad when some emotional moments happened. but this game, made me just cry.
Something which isn't mentioned often is that Pokedex info of Dusknoir says it can emit a dark aura that weakens Pokemon's minds and makes them more prone to accepting orders from them. That would help explaining why your partner, and all of the present-time Pokemon trust Dusknoir that much and why you, having the mind of a human, do not get affected.
I Stan Dialga speaking in all caps and also really want to play this game now. Like that story is gorgeously written and the sprites are adorable!!
This game makes me miss the sprites they used for the older games.
Bram ;; YES! I love Pokémon Amie/Refresh, but I’ve never really been able to get fully behind the transition to 3D Pokémon models over sprites. I suppose the change makes sense from a business/design standpoint or whatever, but I’ve just always mostly preferred sprite art over anything else for games. I can enjoy a 3D model game just fine (Mario Galaxy, Animal Crossing New Leaf and City Folk, and any game for the Switch are all AMAZING and so pretty) but something about pixel art just makes me happy to look at it. And games like Stardew Valley, Spiritferer, and even this one clearly prove that this art style can still hold up well today.
@@fIorapetals I personally am a huge fan of Pokemon with sprites. Maybe it's because I grew up with them but I feel like the 3d models are lacking something. There was some backlash with it when sword and shield were revealed. The whole thing about lazy animations and such. What I think Pokemon mystery dungeon EoS and stardew valley have in common is that it's very detailed pixel art with a lot of attention to detail which I extremely love. You could for example see the shadows and such in the sprites when the character moves. With the 3d Pokemon models I feel like they are just one color without very much detail (I don't know if they changed this in sword and shield). But I hope they step up their game in the future or maybe even go back to those old sprites. Though I must say I like Pokemon mystery dungeon DX
You saying Stan in reference to Dialga made me laugh so hard.
Daniela Baroni ;; Well I’m glad I made you laugh :3

Update: #89 was much worse
The Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series changed my life as a child and I'm so happy you're sharing this experience with everyone else here💓
Yeeeeeees I can’t believe you decided to cover the best storyline in a game of all time! This game deserves more love!
Yep, in every game, you go back to your world after the main story end, then come back.
Except one.
And wow that SPECIFIC one hit harder than expected.
Say what you want about the gameplay of the 3DS Mystery Dungeon games (I'm not too fond of the uselessness of normal attacks myself) but Super Mystery Dungeon was still very good.
Probably a hot take, but PSMD is actually not only my favourite Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game, but my all time favourite game.
@@JasonsHoerbuchstube Personally, as much as I am more of a Rescue Team person (90% because of nostalgia blindness probably, that much I'm willing to admit -- haven't played the remake though apart from the demo which didn't really impress me), PSMD is my absolute favourite in terms of story and characters.
@@WaddleBih The remake was nice, I just never was a rescue team person. I can't really watch these games through nostalgia glasses since I played all of them for the first time within a few months. I also love Super's sound track btw. It's not as great as these games, I don't think anything will ever top EoS, but still. Especially the final boss theme is a banger. And while really not liking the partner in Rescue team, I think the partner in PSMD may be my favourite character of the series
I agree I was ready for my character to disappear but when your friend is the one who disappears it hit me hard, I was no ready for that
I actually like PSMD gameplay more than EoS, but I like the overall story of EoS more

Pokemon mystery dungeon has changed my life.
It taught me friendship and kindness and to always do my best
The series has gotten years out of me on multiple occasions.

If you haven't played it than you should.
Every time I saw this.. I cried. It never fails to be a superb spinoff. In story and gameplay.
I've recently revisited this game, and I must say...
Hope the Switch remake comes soon
I'm with you on this.
I love these games, if a PMD 2 remake comes out for Switch I'll absolutely buy it!
Its going to take a while
I think there will be one but I don't know when. My dream scenario would be them announcing a PMD 2 character for Smash, which would bring this incredible music and probably a Temporal Tower stage and do all of this to celebrate a remake
@@JasonsHoerbuchstube Probably wouldn't happen, it seems that Smash only cares about mainline games. But I think that not having some epic boss music is a sin
@@Grushuri yeeah I don't think it would happen either, but hell it would be epic
Oh my goodness, this was a nostalgia trip and a half. I've never played explorers of sky, so it's nice to know what happened to grovyle and the other Pokemon. And even after seeing the ending multiple times, it still brought tears to my eyes.
Never actually managed to beat Darkrai as a kid, so it's also nice to see the game concluded.

PMD Explores has "Abilities" like the regular Pokemon games as well as "IQ Skills" that you can gain by increasing IQ with certain items. So the Ability Intimidate (which lowers the physical attack of any opponent), which you're probably thinking of, is different from the IQ skill Intimidator which has a chance of making the opponent fail to attack.

Watching this video was a nostalgic trip. I actually teared up twice and tearing up is something that I don't do often. If they did a remake of this series it'd probably be called "Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers DX or something close to that.
You summed up my thoughts and feelings for this game PERFECTLY. What an underappreciated gem!
The Nostolgia. On Christmas 2011 i believe it was, i got a Nintendo DS Lite in silver. The game i got with it: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time. I played on my first playthrough till the expedition i believe and then got stuck there. In a new game i got to the forest with the first Timewheel. Got stuck there too. I didn't play it for quite a while after that. Then i made a new game. Because i was in the Beyblade hype, i called myself Gingka (protagonist of Beyblade Metal Fusion and also a Ginger like me) and Sora (a later character from the series who also uses the Bey Pegasus, but with a slightly different version). Gingka was a Mudkip and Sora i think a Chimchar. I played through without getting stuck. When i entered the boss fight against Dialga, i listened to the Music for a bit and got goosebumbs. And lost. After grinding a bit, Gingka the Mudkip learned Dire Situation, which makes the enemies HP the same as yours (150 HP max). With this, Dialga was a breeze. Then the Ending came. I've seen the ending on TH-cam before, but now it hit REALLY deep. Seeing your best friend going back home in tears because you effectively died is such a sad moment, and when you come back thanks to Dialga, well let's just say that that was the moment in this Video where i had to hold back my tears the most. After that, i played the afterstory a bit. We graduated and did a few missions, but it never came to the point with Azurills Nightmare. Now i have lent my Sister the Game ( though i dont know if she even played it, since she refused to give back pokemon Pearl since she didnt play through it) which is why i cant revisit it right now. I still have the DS Lite, but the Top Screen and the Speakers dont work anymore, since a bit of the connector on the right side where the lights for the battery life are, got away and now it doesnt hold into place and the cables got a bit, lets say, streched out.
Loved the Video, when the Cutscene before the Titlescreen came up and the Mystery Dungeon Theme came, thats when i first teared up. Over time it became a real fight against them. I thank you for bringing such fond memories back.
Also, when will you be making that top 10 Video about Bosses you want to hit with a Hammer?
I played Mystery Dungeon Blue myself, and I wish I had it. I lost it some time ago, but I now have super mystery dungeon. I watched a lp of this game to get a better grasp of the game's story. It's every bit as fantastic as it seems. Then when the ending came, I couldn't hold it back and I cried. It may be repetitive in the gameplay department, but the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon has to be THE best series of games on the DS. I'm proud to have had the honor of playing two of these games so far.
Ho-lee-frick. The pokemon mystery dungeon series is a deep one for sure. He devs do a amazing job at storytelling and enhancing with previous knowledge of the Pokémon world. Heck, they USE POKÉDEX ENTRIES AS CANON INFO. Sure, the mainline games are good. But they _have_ been decaying as of late. But the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon serious will be, and always will be legendary. A staple in my life for sure. Now I’m gonna list off things I liked and stories of my first experience of this game!
1. When Dusknoir arrived for the first time I already had bad vibes. I was afraid of dusknoir and I admittedly still am. He’s terrifying! His looks scream villain material! And this game proved my poring further...
2. The music in this game is amazing. Now imagine if it was orchestrated.
3. When was Grovyle pushing Dusknoir back into the future, somethign really hit me there. I was just in awe of what was happening. We’re never gonna see Grovyle again? We’re gonna disappear into nothing? I have no words for what I was feeling. And I’m afraid I still can’t explain it today.
4. During the flashbacks I didn’t know it was a flashback and I got really confused.
5. I think dimensional scream is really cool and I use it for ONE of my OCs. Sadly no one ever got the reference. How sad...
6. I always thought Cresselia was supposed to be a good guy because she’s the good dream? And then she told us to frick off??? But then it was not Cresselia and then I was no longer confused.
7. You know you’re having a bad day when the frICKING GOD OF SPACE SHOWS UP AND *KIDNAPS YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TAKING YOU TO SOME SORT OF PRIVATE DIMENSION WHERE NO ONE WILL HEER YOU SCREAM AND IT’S ALL OVER A TINY LITTLE HOLE.* Talk about overreaction.
8. When you think about it, there are many kidnap attempts in this game and it’s scary.
9. After hearing the music where we disappear and the music where the future trio disappear, I cried because I remember how emotional it was for me back then. And I remember why I was somehow attached to those short lived characters. And then I cried some more. And watching your partner cry in front of you, because of you, broke my heart. I don’t ever wanna leave them again. Fay. I miss you. And if I get the opportunity to get a vulpix as my partner again, I will FLIP out of happiness.
This game holds #1 for me, and no matter how many times I’ve beaten it and expect the ending, it always makes me teary eyed. Amazing game and wish that Nintendo could remake a masterpiece like this
Alright, let's add this game to my list of 'Games That Made Me Teary-Eyed'.
It now contains: 2 games.
What's the other one?
My money is on it being Mother 3
Undertale, possibly?
it’s this and tok
Mystery dungeon has such emotional stories. I think credit is well deserved for the storycreators.
Sometimes This game was honestly for me an emotional roller coaster, and I will never forget it.
That was an unexpected rollercoast of emotion I witness here...
The funny thing about Epilogue 1 is that, when another guild member has to graduate, the player and their partner have to also pretend.
That would be a really awkward and very dramatic situation, lol.
Imagine taking the graduation exam, falling into the hole, and then a yellow rat bitch decided to give you Porygon ZTSD
I love this game. EVERYTHING! The story is beutiful, the characters are surprisingly memorable and it really does feel like an adventure. I love all the plot twists, the story handles them so well. And the future, my god. I distinctly remember that when I was a kid I always was scared shitless when dusknojr appeared, because the future is such a terrifying area. The feeling of hopelessness and destruction of the future is handled soooo well. My god, I could gash about this game for an hour
True gits remember the intros where LubLub kills someone in a silly manner
My faves were the lazer (tm) and the crushing pistons of death
Dialga saving the day like the mad lad he is, what a chad
Explorers may have the best overall story, but Gates to Infinity has the ending that makes me break down in tears every time
I feel you.
Played GTI two times, broke down in tears both.
Honestly I don't understand why GTI is so disliked, I loved it and it was my first PMD game.
Ehh it's story was ok, it was my first mystery dungeon and was fun and you get to Crack an giant ice cube about to destroy the world with the power of DETERMINATION and hope I guess lol
I think GTI was disliked mainly for it being a heavy department from the rest of the PMD games in terms of gameplay. I played it before but never finished because the gameplay was just so lackluster compared to the previous games.
@@superplayerex2431 I absolutely hated that i couldn't speed up the dialogue and that everything was either piss-easy or ball-crushing hard. Also the characters were extremly uninteresting and i couldn't stand any of them
i feel like there’s two moods the video brings up; “wow, this is so nostalgic for me and it makes me happy to see it again” and “i’ll break darkrai’s fucking skull in if he so much as looks at the player character”
i barely cry, but after seeing that message by wigglytuff, i cried a lot
Darkrai gets brain erased and travels to a different dimension, Proceeds to cause nightmare to little boy/girl, Then get caught by a ten year old Pokemon trainer all i can think of is Jaiden saying "I'm not going to fight a legendary" "NOW GET IN THE BOX." while shoving Darkrai in the PC for all eternity.
Watching the ending after beating dialga despite seeing it multiple times in my life, it still makes me tear up
Oh God... I already know what it's about... I'll try not to cry...
It didn't work, right?
@@marcjehle2480 You know it...
I love how the part with darkrai we think about suicide for the sake of the world and wigglytuff speech later on is just so...ack it makes me cry
It feels so weird to have a fictional character comfort you(in a way)
Oh shit. One of my favorite games ever covered by git.
Don't have time right now but I'll be sure to watch this in full.
Creepy Bad Endings # 87 Suggestion: OneShot
Oh...not... _that_ one...
That’s...a pretty good idea now that I think about it, especially considering all the endings could be considered ‘bad’ or ‘creepy’ in some ways
You killed niko
If you want to see Darkrai redeem himself, play Pokepark 2.
It's really fun too, I love the gameplay aspect of not being a Strategy RPG for once.
Also I was wondering where Palkia was when his twin Dialga was going nuts
God, this brings back so many memories! I remember crying and having to stop at multiple points in game because of how emotional I got.
Just to rub it into Darkrai's face, I tossed him a ReviSer Seed and he consumed it after I whipped him. Was super damn satisfying to not only kick his ass but to make him look like a fool in the process. I gave him a taste of having false hope snatched away from you, like he seems to enjoy doing to others
The whole getting sent to another world and being separated from our friends reminds me of Klonoa
Basically, how Time Travel works is; Until it happens, it doesn't happen. It's always confusing, but basically that's how it works.
If something is fated to happen (example, time stopping), then it has already happened. If it isn't fated to happen (time not stopping), then it has to happen for it to, well, happen. It's like a true ending, it doesn't happen until it does. I think there's a logic behind time travel that unites it, and we can't understand it because it is just a little too much, but basically the past, present, and future are tied in a special time line thing of sorts where the events that happen in those times only happen when it happens, and thus the future can be changed. It's like driving a car. You can't drive it until you start it up. And just like in the future you get to drive a Lamborghini, you can only drive a Lamborghini when you get one, otherwise you can't do so.
The idea I believe it works by is that the future is one of many, and so the reason why the future has yet to change despite it going to be changed is because there is the possibility it won't be changed, so it doesn't change. It goes back to that fated thing I mentioned, if there is no other path to follow, it will happen. For example, it's like waking up. You will wake up, so it will happen. You can't stop that. Or, it's like day turning to night. The sun will go down inevitably, so in the very near future (let's say, midnight), it will be nighttime. You can't not make it that. In the sense that it has multiple chances to happen, it's like life. You may live that day, maybe you will die. But if in future you are alive, it won't make you dead until you die. Because there is still a path where you don't die. Until it happens, it won't happen.
A little convoluted and confusing, but basically it is a case of "It happens, so it happens". Straightforward.
It's always a treat to see this game being talked about. It's easily not only one of my favourite Pokemon games, but also one of my favourite games ever
I just replayed this game recently was was really wanting a video about it from you. Thanks for the 1 hour vid!
51:42 Arceus: _" Yeah, you're welcome, now stop fucking around with my universe. "_
Arceus: " _Oh, and Dialga you're grounded for a month._ "
Dialga: "BUT DAD, PALKIA'S DOING CRAZY SHIT TOO-"
Arceus: " _Watch your mouth. And leave your brother out of this._ "
@@endermenon4836 I wonder what Giratina did in all that.
1:01:42
Nooo!
I love Darkrai. He's a good boi in the movies.
And even his dex entry confirms he never actively tries to harm others.
Though the lore about the ghost girls is sad.
Man.
The player char just straight-up got Time Parodoxed out of existence.
That's sad. At least in every other mystery dungeon game, they return to the human world. In this, he just retroactively stops existing. No human world or anything.
Thanks, Dialga, for returning the Player to the timeline.
I would love to see the rest of your top 10 characters you want to repeatedly bash with a hammer list.
Do you think he has Roman Bellic from GTA IV in it? I don't think everyone was fond of him spamming calls and asking you to play bowling with him.
Thanks for making me cry all over again... and yes, it did kinda traumatise me as a kid... and well, at first I kept on reminding myself that I'd somehow come back, because I knew I would... BUT THEN THE CREDITS CAME ALONG AND I GOT SO SCARED and was like "WHAT NO WAY" because I thought it was really it after then, not knowing that there was a whole 2nd part to the game afterwards.... so I think that's what traumatised me most...
This game has movie potential.
I love how this game is still getting attention all these years later, hands down my favourite game ever, best storyline, so emotional, I've only ever had 2-3 friends who've actually played this, so glad I can share my love for the game with everyone here who was as touched by the game as I was
Honestly, I love this series. PMD is the game that started my interest for games. Specifically red rescue team.
My personal favorite is super, as I was hit in the gut alot. Feeling like losing a friend hurts and that's why I think super got me good. Heck, partner's theme of that game is what I consider as "the song that describes me" and I just say that there's nothing wrong with bieng attached to a character / song
I love all the PMD content that’s coming into my feed recently!
51:38
Dialga: "A being higher than myself... That being's power...could have done it."
Me: it's either Arceus, who never appeared in the whole game, or the allmighty kecleon
It's bidoof
I just finished the main story of EoD 2 weeks ago and i cried hard. Thank you for covering this
That good ending music sounds like His World from Sonic 06
The usage of various leitmotifs in the soundtracks is what really tied the game together.
I love how Totodile always looks shocked
I want someone to mod in a creepy bad ending if you lose to primal dialga. Everyone of your friends and allies fall in despair realizing you have failed. The world shakes and sputters as the eternal darkness begins to surround. Your partner says sorry to you, and to the world for not making it. The world glows grey, and the tortured cry of dialga is heard.
"BUT, THE FUTURE REFUSED TO CHANGE."
Mystery dungeon explorers of darkness and super mystery dungeon broke me.
It's 2 in the morning and I've been crying my eyes out for the past hour. What the hell, man?
YES my favorite video game series and my favorite of the series (not to diminish the rest, they're all great) gets covered in one of my favorite TH-cam video series. Lots of series.
This whole game is my childhood, thank you for covering it.
This game means so much to me! I could go on about it all day!
It was the very first game I had ever gotten. I remember being at my aunt's cabin for my 5th birthday getting a DS while holding my magby card which my cousin gave me (first Pokemon card!) I remember always being so scared of the music in the bow touching thingy at the beginning, and constantly restarting because I never read dialogue back then so I only ever got up to Drowsee.
Watching this video and listening to the music makes me want to download the whole soundtrack because it's so good and nostalgic!! I hope someday I can get my memories erased just so I can play this game blind again!
Also I was shocked by the Dusknoir twist because I didn't judge Pokemon as a kid and thought he was super cool and super strong.
I hope another PMD game gets made someday! With an awesome story! Or that the main games step up their story.
The fatal error that Darkrai made was getting overly confident & literally saying he's the one who messed up space *right in front of the God of space itself*
I’ve been waiting for this!
I distinctly remember beating Dialga as a child and seeing this ending, then going in the living room crying and hugging my grandmother telling her how much I love her. I've never had my emotions evoked to the extent this game was able to.
1:00:46 i always founded funny that Palkia's reaction come from its shoulders
I think I was one of the few to trust Dusnoir, I was 10 or 11 at the time I played it and hadn't played anything with a twist like it at that point even his faint smile didn't seem odd to me this was the pokemon who had just saved me and my partner's life it would have felt like a betrayal to not trust him. When the reveal came I was shocked and maybe even a bit in denial I didn't want to trust Grovyle he was the character I had spent hating for so long but once I did trust him he became just as much a friend and partner as my real one I think I had to take a break when he sacrificed himself because I was crying so hard. Looking back on it all the way this game completely changed my perspective of two characters in such a short amount of time is amazing it taught me that things are not always as they seem and gave a love for Grovyle that carries on to today
