I've passed through a lot, played a lot NieR: Automata Final Fantasy Skyrim Battlefield ... But this game is the only one i'll carry forever It's my childhood My dearest friend, a amazing pal, amazing adventures It was the hardest goodbye i ever said Charon, we had good times forever Even though i'm not that small Riolu you knew, i still carry our story forward Our exploration team will forever carry on I will never forget
played this like for the first time 10 years ago, after that i forgot that the game even existed. just recently replayed it and became instantly one of my alltime favorite games
"Eventually the day will come where I won't be here anymore. Since that's the case, the timing of it doesn't matter. The important thing is not how long you live... it's what you accomplish with your life." - Grovyle
you could handle anything. you could face your fears, inspire your friend, solve mysteries, catch outlaws. you could save people, you could help people, you could make people smile. you could face down the god of time and not bat an eye. but you can never be ready to say goodbye.
I listen to this song a lot, waiting for the day I get to play this game and experience what everyone else did so long ago. This comment hits me hard everytime, making me sad and excited for the game at the same time. It's a strange mix of feelings that gives me the chills. This comment hits hard because of the goodbye part, knowing that eventually, we will lose everybody we love, but the other parts make me excited, it makes me think "is that what you really do in the game?" This just goes to show, despite just being pixels, video games can change people, inspire people, make people happy, and most importantly, make people sad.
One of the reasons this moment is so powerful is because you the player actually speak and have a conversation. No picking from text boxes, no one repeating what you said for dialogue convenience. Just telling your best friend goodbye, and thanking them for all the wonderful memories.
I completely freaked out when my Charmander actually spoke in text ;-; It made me want to cry all the more because it's such a meaningful moment for both you and your partner Pokémon
Thats such an emotional gut punch of a line. Also the unique crying portrait that is not used anywhere else in the game, other than two times during the ending sequence. I was so close to getting through the ending without crying my first playthrough. But what eventually broke me was the flashbacks on the beach. Like the whole part where the partner seemingly had moved on, months after the player disappeared, only to go to the beach during sunset and have all the memories of the protagonist flood back. That was so heartbreaking for me.
What makes things even sadder is that when your partner leaves Temporal Tower, they force themselves to be strong and to without tear retell their story to make sure nothing as horrible as the destruction of space and time ever happens again. They have to bottle up their emotions for three months until Bidoof finds them crying at the beach. ...Can I please have a tissue?
@@MountainMemelord I disagree,they are still going well.I mean at least the switch is doing much better than the wii u.Yeah,I don't like of many of its financial decisions like the online switch for example but compared to Sony with the scarcity of Ps5 to buy, and without many new games as the crowd expected and the xbox that after a good 2021 had a very scarce 2022 of first games party, even with the mistakes Nintendo is doing well with the switch, which I still consider one of the best consoles ever made... and now that we've had a remake of po kemonblue/red team, a remake of pmd:explorers of sky would make me extremely happy.
This has to be the most real moment ever in a video game. Throughout the whole game you feel the bond between you and your partner just for it to end on such a sad note. I know they reunite, but god this scene breaks my heart. My poor Skitty partner ;-;

I remember how much younger me was so shocked that was the ending of the story. It was not until a few years later that I heard about the after-credits scene and entirely new storyline, and I cannot say how excited I was to hear that! This always reminds me of how everything should not be kept for granted, and you should always keep track of friends and all you hold dear. My friends are everything to me, and I believe it is from this game I learned to appreciate it.
I was actually so shocked that i kept playing refusing this game to end. I was so happy when the story kept going and by that i was able to somehow put this game out of my hands again. True masterpiece!
dude if you really want to hear a song that makes you want to hold on to the friends you've got now for dear life you should hear Smiles And Tears from Earthbound and know the context of it
I first played a Mystery Dungeon game when I was about 8. I never finished RRT, but with how poorly I comprehended the fugitives arc, I don't think I would've been that phased by the ending. After growing up a little, I played PSMD start to finish at 16 and it absolutely ruined me. I _just_ finished playing Explorers of Sky, at 23, and I'm still recovering from it.
same, and i tend to give that credit to the music in the moment. i tear up even by hearing it while im not playing just because i remember the scene unfolding arata iiyoshi is a spectacular composer
To anyone still listen to this in 2020: Endless respect from my heart Edit: It's 2021 now and you still come here, more respect Edit 2: It's 2022 now, we won't ever forget Edit 3: 2023. Still going, ladies and gentlemen!
I’m a part of the video game ensemble at Appalachian State University. This semester, we’re covering multiple tracks from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, explorers of sky (this one is included). And as you can probably tell by my profile pic, I play piano. Plus the piano arrangement on this piece is really beautiful.
Greenstar the Mono-Emperor That's my interpretation as well. Considering you and your partner's dialogue at this point, it's reasonable to think there was a romantic element to their relationship.
I remember as a young kid, I couldn't ever finish Explorers of Time because when I got to this point I'd always end up bawling my eyes out and resetting my save file, so that I could relive those happy memories with my partner. I was a little older when Explorers of Sky came out, so I told myself I would finally brave through the tears and finish the game. Even all these years later this song sticks with me and I get emotional, both because of the story itself and the fact that it affected me so much as a kid. I wish Pokemon games still had storytelling like this. It felt like there was so much effort put into immersing you in the world of Pokemon and its characters. I still highly value story as one of the key aspects of what makes a game "good" because those memories have stuck with me all these years.
you say "Pokemon games still had storytelling like this" as if the mainline games has good stories. the story is nearly always: beat gym, fight rival, bad guys do something bad, beat them, become champion. the spin offs had good stories
@@somerandomguy-3102I think the older games were really good, but the only generations that even _ATTEMPTED_ to have engaging stories were 5 and 7. I think 5 did a relatively ok job, but the pacing in 7 was so bad that I just couldn't take the story seriously. I think I could call only Gen 5 a proper JRPG, but its still pretty messy.
This is the only game to ever make me truly cry, I remember being a 5 year old in blockbuster just bawling my eyes out at the credits scene after spending the car ride and like 20 minutes in the store trying to finish the game, and then all the emotions I felt seeing what happened afterwards, this game and this song is one the main things that’s fueled my lifelong love for all things Pokémon. This’ll probably be lost in the sea of comments but it just feels good to talk about everything this game and this piece of music has done for me, the impact it’s had on my life.
Pokémon will always hold a special place in my heart. It was the foundation of who I am today. And I cant thank Satoshi Tajiri enough for creating the world of Pokémon. I really wish he knew how much it changed my life for the better...
The first and still one of the few moments I've ever cried to a video game. The story in this game is amazing. This tune just makes it so much better. The emotions enhanced by this music are perfect.
Every. Single. Playthrough. I cry at this part every single time. This music hooks deep into your emotions and drags them to the surface and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
I think the music can fit every game because you may not want to stop playing but you have seen everything you saved everyone so now there is no reason for you to stay you have other games/realities to save you have to go even if you don’t want to…
I just finished Explorers of Sky DS for the first time this evening. I’m not an emotional guy, or at least I don’t get very emotional over movies or games, but this, this one got me not just emotional, but in tears, a great ending to a great game.
@Hioozuma More than many movies,series or Adult's games?YES! And that's not all!This ending made me cry,but the ending of world of darkness with Grovyle?!!Made a fucking waterfall come out of my eyes.🤣🤣 Seriously, I cried a lot, a lot. The story of this game is incredible.
I nearly cried on this one. This is one song i had a deep conection with. I had depression like some months ago like 6 months and it was really hard to express my feeling even to myself and especially to others but this song made the impossible possible. Everytime i heard this song i went to my couch, hid below it and started crying not just tears but whole waterfalls of water went out of my eyes. This was the was i handled my depression. And it helped, my situation still got worse but without this song it may have been unstopable. This song hits this right deep into my heart because this combination of this nostalgic feeling with the combination of the instruments just was a wonder for me. Nowadays i have won the fight against my depression, found out a way of handling my problems and just dont cry because of my problems i have and how my live is shitty as fuck when i hear this song but crying because remembering of this time I played this game and the sad situation accured at the end of the cutscene. What i want to say, dear reader who reads this. Don’t run from your problems, fight against them and find a way to know how to handle those. You will find a way out of your depressed circumstances and then enjoy your life as I do. Cheers
I've cried at the end of quite a few games. Wind Waker, nostalgic. Heartgold, great remake. This game? Freaking masterpiece. I felt every feel the game put me through. I felt like i was actually leaving a friend when i started to dissipate... This game has made a special place in my heart that no other game could provide.
From now on whenever I feel angry, stressed, to proud or happy about something and need an emotional restart, or I just wanna kick my heart in the D$#& with a steel toed boot and get sad I'll play this.
Remember that boot from Spongebob's movie? I'd say you kick your heart in the d*** with that, just a steel boot doesn't represent enought sadness for such a song.
@@xXChickyChuXx dont tell me your part of the people who could ruin someone experience of the game be trying giving him 100 tip on how to play or spoil the game
@@dragondesabysse2258 I honestly have no idea what my original comment was about. I wouldn't give too many tips on how to breeze through the game, or spoil the story in any way. The game is great, and I wouldn't take away from that. If I was to guess, maybe my original comment was directed at people like the IGN reviewers.
There is one thing none of us are ever prepared or ready when it happens... and thats saying goodbye to someone you care about forever. The only thing you can ever do now after they are gone is to remember them and to carry on thier memory. Thats why you must never forget those you care about. Because you're all thats left to know them. That's what this song teaches you. To never let go of what you know. To never forget. Don't ever forget.
Its now 2022 and what can i say.....this game,this soundtrack is a masterpiece. I first played this game like 6 years ago and since than its one of my all time favorites. The story might be one of the best of all time. I would lie if i say the game didnt bring tears in my eyes. This is were real men cry.
The first and to this day only series to ever make me cry. Mystery Dungeon is by far my favorite Pokémon spinoff series, Explorers of Sky is my second favorite Pokémon game just behind Omega Ruby, and I took this song to heart, no way in hell I'm gonna forget one of the most wonderful, beautiful, magical video game journeys I've ever gone on. As of right now Rescue Team DX is the most important Pokémon games to me because it marked 2 very important things, it marked this series' miraculous return on the scene, and it made Mystery Dungeon the first ever Pokémon spinoff to get a remake (and a damn faithful one at that, eat your heart out BDSP). Really shows that no matter how mid the mainline games get, even The Pokémon Company themselves love this series just about as much as the fans. Here's hoping they also Don't Ever Forget and keep these masterpieces going with as much love and dedication as they've been putting into it since the beginning.
This game made me cry for the following reasons: 1.) The main story/plot is beautiful and is a masterpiece that made me cry 2.) All of the game's characters were all so unique. You can really feel bond u have with you're partner and friends 3.)Grovyle. He was my favorite character second to my partner. His sacrifice made me cry 4.)How the game makes u feel special and gives u lessons u won't ever forget😢
Here are some lyrics: In the past, you may have lost a friend, and somehow, your tears are locked away, Even if you try to cry out loud, as you look at the experiences that you... Don't ever forget... (instrumental)
"Hey, so we need you to compose a game soundtrack, it's for this niche spinoff Pokemon series that practically nobody knows, so you don't have to go too hard on it" Arata Iiyoshi: 🎹🎹🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Listen to this whenever you lose someone. Why would you listen to this when you lose someone? Now you're never gonna stop crying. I can't beat this game without crying despite playing it more than 5 times over.
I never thought 1 day in my life I will cry over a pokemon game and this one did at the exact moment this song played ,even now 10 years later i'm getting emotional over the song over the moment ,this game is such a masterpiece
@@jacksonlague7304Well it was over 4 years ago so I can't really say with certainty but I'm like 80% sure it was an edgy high schooler making a shitty 9/11 joke
The fact that when this song plays in the game it's the first (if not only) time we see the protagonist *actually* talk and not only know their thoughts, makes it even more heartbreaking.
Everybody in my school knows me for being one of the toughest guy, but they don't know that I came here few times every month for recharging my soul, because this song mean EVERYTHING to me. I will never forget this feeling and my best friend since day 1, Blastoise.
From an era when pokemon respected it's players enough to give them a mature story line with a saddening ending. I pray pokemon can somehow return to this era of pokemon in the future.
To this day, Explorers of sky remains as the first and only game that has ever made me cry. Not tryna act all tough i just never get that emotional from videogames
This is actually one of the few video games in my life that I played that almost made me cry and nothing else ever came close to making me feel such a way as this game did. To this day.
I was thinking of an alternate end that would also be pretty sad. Since you get erased from time, imagine if after you vanished, your partner was just standing there dazed and confused. And didn't know what he was doing, why he was there, and no one else had a clue. He just slowly walks back to Lapras, Lapras doesn't ask about you, and it shows the montage of everything back to normal except every contribution and mention of you is completely gone. Nobody remembers you because you never existed.
I got PMD Explorers of Sky for my birthday and when that moment came when I heard the melody from Dont Ever Forget, tears came to my eyes. To this day, this OST gets me a masterpiece and I'm looking forward to a good remake of this OST in the future in a remake of Explorers of Time/Darkness or Sky
Man such a great game with such great music. Its been a decade since i first played it but i still get pulled back from time to time. The music alone brings back so much nostalgia. I still remember all the struggle of the characters and by extension me that had to be overcome over the course of this game. Revisited thev game couple of weeks ago and became stuck with the songs again. Sadly the newer games arent able to capture that same feeling for me definetly a game or experience i wont ever forget,,,
No matter how many times I replay the game, I still cry to this song and ending to this game. This is the best pokemon mystery dungeon game I've ever played.
@@zenothemeano4381 language barriers. He's probably not on Reddit or any other forums reading comments by western fans gushing about their love for this game.
From the day I preordered this, to today of 2020, I will always remember this game gave me one of the most cherished memories someone can ask for . For those who wish they could replay this game as a kid and be new to it I’m there with you. To the great explorers of our time, you all were magnificent. Keep on exploring
I got to this part on my second playthrough of this game today. Even if I knew what would happen, this scene hit me like a multi-hit move. The music rose again right when the hero said “thank you for everything, ” and that just killed me. This game is amazing.
Tbh, I just speedrun Genshin yesterday (The Aranara story part) and I somehow feel some big flash of nostalgia emotion at the end of the story. I rarely cry because of some media so I was very questioned what happened to me when I met the concept of time and memories. It gave me a big emotional feeling like some shock to every inch of my skin tho. The moment that I recall myself completing this game ten years ago, flashed back in tears as I met this song again on youtube just now.... I really miss this game this song and It is sad that somehow it seems underrated till this day. Even tho It really help me live pass hard time back then... LOl I really am a dramatic adult now ps. My English is broken because I do not use English in my country lol
this was the only game ever to make me cry like that. i was already bawling when we were revealed to be grovyles partner, and when he was gone. now this was the BREAKING POINT. i was genuinely like wailing, like mourning. i will never forget this game, and it taught me many things in life. this game is truly a masterpiece, and deserves to be remade on the switch, or the next nintendo console.
I love the subtle detail that every dialogue box your character has is in brackets {} to show that its his thoughts, but when you say goodbye to your teammate, there's no brackets {}, you're actually speaking it.
Here I am, a grown up 23 years old, crying like the first time I heard it a as 7 y.o. child. GG for making the best pokemon game in my entire existence.

I’m a part of the video game ensemble at Appalachian State University.
This semester, we’re covering multiple tracks from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, explorers of sky (this one is included). And as you can probably tell by my profile pic, I play piano. Plus the piano arrangement on this piece is really beautiful.
your teacher has very good taste

I cry every time I hear this
So many emotions behind it
Same here it really hits me hard every time i complete the game
Me too~
this game is really emotional at times

That's my interpretation as well. Considering you and your partner's dialogue at this point, it's reasonable to think there was a romantic element to their relationship.
Oh. It seems the guy I was replying to deleted their comment. Or maybe it's here somewhere and I somehow replied to someone else.
The Happy Madman No, they deleted it.
Jeez, my old comment on my old account have somehow gotten over one hundred likes. Thanks fellow Pmd fans for that.
Mystery Dungeon's endings never fails to hit you right in the heart with a critical hit.
I remember as a young kid, I couldn't ever finish Explorers of Time because when I got to this point I'd always end up bawling my eyes out and resetting my save file, so that I could relive those happy memories with my partner. I was a little older when Explorers of Sky came out, so I told myself I would finally brave through the tears and finish the game. Even all these years later this song sticks with me and I get emotional, both because of the story itself and the fact that it affected me so much as a kid.
I wish Pokemon games still had storytelling like this. It felt like there was so much effort put into immersing you in the world of Pokemon and its characters. I still highly value story as one of the key aspects of what makes a game "good" because those memories have stuck with me all these years.
I don't think a game needs a story to make it good, but a good story like this can definitely go a long way.
True the last part
you say "Pokemon games still had storytelling like this" as if the mainline games has good stories. the story is nearly always: beat gym, fight rival, bad guys do something bad, beat them, become champion. the spin offs had good stories
@@somerandomguy-3102I think the older games were really good, but the only generations that even _ATTEMPTED_ to have engaging stories were 5 and 7. I think 5 did a relatively ok job, but the pacing in 7 was so bad that I just couldn't take the story seriously. I think I could call only Gen 5 a proper JRPG, but its still pretty messy.
This is the only game to ever make me truly cry, I remember being a 5 year old in blockbuster just bawling my eyes out at the credits scene after spending the car ride and like 20 minutes in the store trying to finish the game, and then all the emotions I felt seeing what happened afterwards, this game and this song is one the main things that’s fueled my lifelong love for all things Pokémon. This’ll probably be lost in the sea of comments but it just feels good to talk about everything this game and this piece of music has done for me, the impact it’s had on my life.
The worst part of an unforgettable story is that you can't forget it and relive it for the first time.
Pokémon will always hold a special place in my heart. It was the foundation of who I am today. And I cant thank Satoshi Tajiri enough for creating the world of Pokémon. I really wish he knew how much it changed my life for the better...
Fairy Tail also? Particularly Erza's backstory and character? :D
The first and still one of the few moments I've ever cried to a video game.
The story in this game is amazing. This tune just makes it so much better.
The emotions enhanced by this music are perfect.
Every. Single. Playthrough.
I cry at this part every single time. This music hooks deep into your emotions and drags them to the surface and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
I think the music can fit every game because you may not want to stop playing but you have seen everything you saved everyone so now there is no reason for you to stay you have other games/realities to save you have to go even if you don’t want to…
I just finished Explorers of Sky DS for the first time this evening. I’m not an emotional guy, or at least I don’t get very emotional over movies or games, but this, this one got me not just emotional, but in tears, a great ending to a great game.
Exactly my thoughts
@Hioozuma More than many movies,series or Adult's games?YES!
And that's not all!This ending made me cry,but the ending of world of darkness with Grovyle?!!Made a fucking waterfall come out of my eyes.🤣🤣
Seriously, I cried a lot, a lot. The story of this game is incredible.
I nearly cried on this one. This is one song i had a deep conection with. I had depression like some months ago like 6 months and it was really hard to express my feeling even to myself and especially to others but this song made the impossible possible. Everytime i heard this song i went to my couch, hid below it and started crying not just tears but whole waterfalls of water went out of my eyes. This was the was i handled my depression. And it helped, my situation still got worse but without this song it may have been unstopable. This song hits this right deep into my heart because this combination of this nostalgic feeling with the combination of the instruments just was a wonder for me. Nowadays i have won the fight against my depression, found out a way of handling my problems and just dont cry because of my problems i have and how my live is shitty as fuck when i hear this song but crying because remembering of this time I played this game and the sad situation accured at the end of the cutscene. What i want to say, dear reader who reads this. Don’t run from your problems, fight against them and find a way to know how to handle those. You will find a way out of your depressed circumstances and then enjoy your life as I do. Cheers
I've cried at the end of quite a few games. Wind Waker, nostalgic. Heartgold, great remake. This game? Freaking masterpiece. I felt every feel the game put me through. I felt like i was actually leaving a friend when i started to dissipate... This game has made a special place in my heart that no other game could provide.
From now on whenever I feel angry, stressed, to proud or happy about something and need an emotional restart, or I just wanna kick my heart in the D$#& with a steel toed boot and get sad I'll play this.
Remember that boot from Spongebob's movie? I'd say you kick your heart in the d*** with that, just a steel boot doesn't represent enought sadness for such a song.
Its safe to say we were all babies with this song
Yes. This. This is the comment.
@@xXChickyChuXx dont tell me your part of the people who could ruin someone experience of the game be trying giving him 100 tip on how to play or spoil the game
@@dragondesabysse2258 I honestly have no idea what my original comment was about. I wouldn't give too many tips on how to breeze through the game, or spoil the story in any way. The game is great, and I wouldn't take away from that. If I was to guess, maybe my original comment was directed at people like the IGN reviewers.
Literally my first time with this music
My father: Are you crying?
Me: I'm not crying! *Snif*
The first time I eat the game I was at my grandparents house and was sitting on the floor next to the bed so no one would see my tears
My father: "Why are you crying?"
Me: *Gives him the earphones*
My mother: "Why are you two crying?"
EV-Zero ahh pfp
There is one thing none of us are ever prepared or ready when it happens... and thats saying goodbye to someone you care about forever.
The only thing you can ever do now after they are gone is to remember them and to carry on thier memory.
Thats why you must never forget those you care about. Because you're all thats left to know them.
That's what this song teaches you.
To never let go of what you know.
To never forget.
Don't ever forget.
Its now 2022 and what can i say.....this game,this soundtrack is a masterpiece. I first played this game like 6 years ago and since than its one of my all time favorites. The story might be one of the best of all time. I would lie if i say the game didnt bring tears in my eyes. This is were real men cry.
A good story can make you shed tears of real sadness for a fictional character.
Started a replay 2 days ago and this game once again made me cry for several minutes.
PMD2 is just a true masterpiece.
The first and to this day only series to ever make me cry. Mystery Dungeon is by far my favorite Pokémon spinoff series, Explorers of Sky is my second favorite Pokémon game just behind Omega Ruby, and I took this song to heart, no way in hell I'm gonna forget one of the most wonderful, beautiful, magical video game journeys I've ever gone on.
As of right now Rescue Team DX is the most important Pokémon games to me because it marked 2 very important things, it marked this series' miraculous return on the scene, and it made Mystery Dungeon the first ever Pokémon spinoff to get a remake (and a damn faithful one at that, eat your heart out BDSP). Really shows that no matter how mid the mainline games get, even The Pokémon Company themselves love this series just about as much as the fans. Here's hoping they also Don't Ever Forget and keep these masterpieces going with as much love and dedication as they've been putting into it since the beginning.
This game made me cry for the following reasons:
1.) The main story/plot is beautiful and is a masterpiece that made me cry
2.) All of the game's characters were all so unique. You can really feel bond u have with you're partner and friends
3.)Grovyle. He was my favorite character second to my partner. His sacrifice made me cry
4.)How the game makes u feel special and gives u lessons u won't ever forget😢
Here are some lyrics:
In the past, you may have lost a friend, and somehow, your tears are locked away,
Even if you try to cry out loud, as you look at the experiences that you...
Don't ever forget... (instrumental)
Agh, this song brings up so many feels... I remember first playing this game. The Explorers series had such massive hits of feels.
CasualFan RWBY The new one was good. The story was a bit similar. That part you're worrying about hits hard. I don't say why. It just surpirses you.
"Hey, so we need you to compose a game soundtrack, it's for this niche spinoff Pokemon series that practically nobody knows, so you don't have to go too hard on it"
Arata Iiyoshi: 🎹🎹🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm not crying. I just have something in my eyes.

One summer vacation I replayed pokemon mystery dungeon explorers of time 40+ times just to keep hearing this song. Thank God for sky jukebox in sky.
Listen to this whenever you lose someone.
Why would you listen to this when you lose someone? Now you're never gonna stop crying.
I can't beat this game without crying despite playing it more than 5 times over.
萌え 萌え可愛い Lehla Pathetic. I've played it over seventeen times. I still cry my eyes out ;-;
I never thought 1 day in my life I will cry over a pokemon game and this one did at the exact moment this song played ,even now 10 years later i'm getting emotional over the song over the moment ,this game is such a masterpiece
My friend sent this today and I was wondering why. Then I looked at the calendar. Fucking hell.
What day was it?
What day? Please tell, unless you don't feel comfortable sharing.
@@jacksonlague7304Well it was over 4 years ago so I can't really say with certainty but I'm like 80% sure it was an edgy high schooler making a shitty 9/11 joke
@@handtohand94 Damn.
Hmmm
The fact that when this song plays in the game it's the first (if not only) time we see the protagonist *actually* talk and not only know their thoughts, makes it even more heartbreaking.
This song is heartbreaking every time... ❤
Oh btw, ign gave this game a 4.9 out of 10.
May they all be punished. Severely.
yes
Cant spell ignorant without ___
@@shubhamghoshal2939 ign
But why?
@@yannic1228 the reviewer got stuck like a third of the way into the main story and decided to call it a day
I really have no emotions for things happening in games like sad deaths and all but this ending combined with this song, it broke me.
Everybody in my school knows me for being one of the toughest guy, but they don't know that I came here few times every month for recharging my soul, because this song mean EVERYTHING to me. I will never forget this feeling and my best friend since day 1, Blastoise.
I will never forget how this ending made me cried so much when I was little
Thiss a nuzlockers favorite song
From an era when pokemon respected it's players enough to give them a mature story line with a saddening ending. I pray pokemon can somehow return to this era of pokemon in the future.
Never forget...
To this day, Explorers of sky remains as the first and only game that has ever made me cry. Not tryna act all tough i just never get that emotional from videogames
This is actually one of the few video games in my life that I played that almost made me cry and nothing else ever came close to making me feel such a way as this game did.
To this day.
No matter what I think of, after a while, it turns into the same scene...I hope, I'll never forget it...
Unbelivable ... this song is LEGENDARY.
I was thinking of an alternate end that would also be pretty sad. Since you get erased from time, imagine if after you vanished, your partner was just standing there dazed and confused. And didn't know what he was doing, why he was there, and no one else had a clue. He just slowly walks back to Lapras, Lapras doesn't ask about you, and it shows the montage of everything back to normal except every contribution and mention of you is completely gone. Nobody remembers you because you never existed.
Congratulations! You unlocked the true ending!
WTF…
@@icebear6757 I mean, it technically makes more sense, because you shouldn’t be able to remember a person that no longer exists.
“Vulpix… even after I disappear from here… I will never forget you.”
“Riolu!!”
I don’t often cry during games… but this was one of those moments.
I got PMD Explorers of Sky for my birthday and when that moment came when I heard the melody from Dont Ever Forget, tears came to my eyes. To this day, this OST gets me a masterpiece and I'm looking forward to a good remake of this OST in the future in a remake of Explorers of Time/Darkness or Sky
Man such a great game with such great music.
Its been a decade since i first played it but i still get pulled back from time to time.
The music alone brings back so much nostalgia.
I still remember all the struggle of the characters and by extension me that had to be overcome over the course of this game.
Revisited thev game couple of weeks ago and became stuck with the songs again.
Sadly the newer games arent able to capture that same feeling for me
definetly a game or experience i wont ever forget,,,
No matter how many times I replay the game, I still cry to this song and ending to this game.
This is the best pokemon mystery dungeon game I've ever played.
When the main character has lines in a pokemon game....
WHO PUT THIS BOWL OF ONIONS HERE?!
Femme Funtime this song is a room full of chopped onions!
Oh i put them here to cook them sorry
sorry
whoop im crying
There was an interview last year where Shin-ichiro Tomie said he didn't even know this game had a western fanbase
How the absolute frick could he not???
@@zenothemeano4381 language barriers.
He's probably not on Reddit or any other forums reading comments by western fans gushing about their love for this game.
I'm back after how many years to listen to this and expect feels....
From the day I preordered this, to today of 2020, I will always remember this game gave me one of the most cherished memories someone can ask for . For those who wish they could replay this game as a kid and be new to it I’m there with you. To the great explorers of our time, you all were magnificent. Keep on exploring
Ooohhh no puns I'm crying give me a tissue
I need a hug
The feels are real
@@blindcharo8455 there there we can cry together
@@chrispyynugget1537 yes please that would be great. I just replayed and beat the game too.
I got to this part on my second playthrough of this game today. Even if I knew what would happen, this scene hit me like a multi-hit move. The music rose again right when the hero said “thank you for everything, ” and that just killed me. This game is amazing.
When I think of this song and it's name, I think of Iwata... He will never be forgotten and always be in all of our hearts!
Okay, who cut the onions this time, and this time there was hundreds...
Tbh, I just speedrun Genshin yesterday (The Aranara story part) and I somehow feel some big flash of nostalgia emotion at the end of the story. I rarely cry because of some media so I was very questioned what happened to me when I met the concept of time and memories.
It gave me a big emotional feeling like some shock to every inch of my skin tho.
The moment that I recall myself completing this game ten years ago, flashed back in tears as I met this song again on youtube just now....
I really miss this game this song and It is sad that somehow it seems underrated till this day. Even tho It really help me live pass hard time back then... LOl I really am a dramatic adult now
ps. My English is broken because I do not use English in my country lol
If someone one didn’t even shed a tear during this cutscene, then... You’re obviously not human!!
No, I don't cry, but this song does send a sad chill up my spine.
The Pokemon game that makes you cry
This game has the best ost and story of almost any game
this was the only game ever to make me cry like that. i was already bawling when we were revealed to be grovyles partner, and when he was gone. now this was the BREAKING POINT. i was genuinely like wailing, like mourning. i will never forget this game, and it taught me many things in life. this game is truly a masterpiece, and deserves to be remade on the switch, or the next nintendo console.
This OST in general just triggers trauma flashbacks for those who played it as a kid.
I love the subtle detail that every dialogue box your character has is in brackets {} to show that its his thoughts, but when you say goodbye to your teammate, there's no brackets {}, you're actually speaking it.
Guys can you imagine a main line pokémon game made with the same passion and care of this masterpiece?
every time i am sad i hear this song in my head as it is one of the first time i was near tears a game
I Will always remember you, Totodile
this music is enought to make a grown man cry
My dad got me Explorers of Time. He's gone now and I miss him.
I'm not crying
We're all crying....
Here I am, a grown up 23 years old, crying like the first time I heard it a as 7 y.o. child.
GG for making the best pokemon game in my entire existence.
my soul crys to this song
