You reappear in the end of the game because your partner Pokemon's sorrow reaches you and you decide that you want to stay with them. So the powers that be granted you that wish. The post game also lets you unlock a quest that devells deeper into Guardivors story and gives context to Gangers actions in the end. It's actually really good I can recommend you giving it a try

[@zachtwilightwindwaker596]

In the wiki it says this: After meeting their partner and calling upon Rayquaza to destroy the meteor, the player leaves the Pokémon world, but decides to return when their partner pleads to Gardevoir.

[@STILLTHEBEST-cm8ph]

​@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 Yeah this was explained a bit more in gates' post game. There are places in the world where you can go to have wishes granted (apparently. idk why nobody used these before lol), and because the partner and hydreigon wished for the protag to be able to come back to the pokemon world they were able to choose to return. So considering this I guess the hill of the ancients is one of these places as well? or it at least has some of the same energy that gives those places their power. if that's the case then it explains why someone like xatu would stay there.

[@darkmatter-mc5iv]

sadly enough I never got to learn that when I played it myself, but learning the story of Gengar and Gardevoir was just amazing. It brought closure to both characters about the actions of one. Makes you really do realize that Gardevoir would do anything to protect those it cares for.

The one thing I remember about the OG rescue teams was being at a gamestop and saw an ad for it playing on the TV. The clerk saw me and said "they're not very good" so I didn't get them. I will be forever salty at that employee because the mystery dungeon games have become some my favorite pokemon games.

[@nathanielbass771]

They're all good but the 3rd and 4th generation of PMD drastically dropped their quality. I've never finished the third generation and the fourth, Super mystery dungeon, "aren't these supposed to be heroes, idols to look up to?" came as a question recently about it. They gave you school kids that basically stumbled their way to victory while the adults either did nothing or did everything and the story was a melting pot of ideas where their only selling point was that it was a logical order of events...in a straight line. They're all good games, but people who say that Super is the best have obviously not played the earlier games

[@ZackeroniAndCheese]

What a strange clerk. It's literally their job to sell people games

[@nathanielbass771]

@@ZackeroniAndCheese not exactly. Part of Gamestop is that the employees are supposed to know at least a LITTLE about the games even if it's just that they're popular in the store or not. Most of them are gamers. The clerk had probably seen the bad "reviews" of the game that didn't even play any of the story and couldn't finish the first dungeon XD If anything, the bad reviews were probably because it was a randomly generated map layout. rogue-lites and Rogue-likes were also very rare gaming genres back then

I never thought about it but It's weird how Absol joins your team and then for the remaining cutscenes that Absol has a presence in it has no speaking lines.

[@nellyparker1944]

It's because you can decide to ask Absol to return to his friend area before continuing. I guess it was just easier not to give him lines since players can decide to go without him

[@Intervee24]

Although a tiny tidbit I noticed while playing PMD Rescue Team DX, when your team comes back to Pokemon Square with Absol, confronting everyone else and Gengar, apparently Gengar had a tiny bit of a surprised dialogue that he knew about the Absol somehow? I've always wondered about that..

Dude, Zigzagoon's so powerful in this game, I don't understand it. It levels up really quickly, and is extremely powerful for no real reason whatsoever. Like, legit, its stats go wonk and its attack and special attack goes to like, 50 at the level 20's, with it's defensive stats sitting at like, 20. Was easily stronger than me and my partner, and did more damage in a single headbutt than a bullet seed, like wowa weewa. Based Teammate.

[@nicholasjacobs6605]

tbh, that also comes down to how typing in MSD games work, where normal type moves still effect ghost types, tho obviously don't do as much, but just taking that weakness away makes normal types in general so much more useful.

[@aurafox1]

Don't forget that Xatu can see the future! I've always understood that he knows Gengar overheard their conversation and knows what he would ultimately do with the information. However, he also knows that would push you and your partner to your limits during the fugitive arc, expose the truth to everyone, and help strengthen you in preparation to fight Groudon and Rayquaza.

Agreed!! The story is really only half finished when the credits roll!

[@abra_escaped]

Yeah, a big amount of story takes place after the credits. That "ending" feels more like the point where things really open up than the actual end of the game

[@holschermarc]

Very Important piece of imformation regarding the Ninetales Legend: It didnt cursed the Trainer randomly. It was moved by the sacrifices and took pity on the Guardevoir. It than asked its Trainer if he wants to save Guardevoir, but the Trainer ran in fear and left his Guardevoir behind. This angered Ninetails and it cursed the Trainer to "someday" get reborn as a Pokemon. So basicly it cursed him after his death to live the life of a Pokemon.

[@nathanielbass771]

bit of context here for people that haven't played the game, there are major spoilers in the part of the story 100black towers is talking about, so it's hard to word this.

@@thatgayflareon Skitty is really good, cute charm and attract are both busted because infatuation completely immobilises any enemy in the game for several turns which trivialises bosses, double slap does a ton of damage to a single target, sing and heal bell provide good utility, and you have a very diverse tm pool, including blizzard which is a room clear in the remakes and explorers. The only options that are arguably on par with skitty are charmander, because smokescreen is almost as strong as attract and once you evolve you get heat wave which is one of the few room clears in the original rescue team and is available at level one so you can use it in the level 1 dungeons, or treecko, pikachu and jolteon who have access to agility, which gives your entire party an extra turn per turn letting you all attack up to 4 times faster, and doesn't use up a turn when you cast it so you can always move or attack after you use agility, and they also have access to strong moves like bullet seed, pin missile (both ranged versions of double slap) and discharge (a room clear that doesn't exist in the gen 3 games, where you'll have to settle for thunderbolt which still hits every enemy next to you). Skitty's still one of the best (if not *the* best) options you can go for even in spite of this.

I really liked when you spiced up this series formula by playing Minish Cap so it's cool to see you tackle PMD here as a departure from just mainline Pokémon games. Like you, I played the game a fair bit as a kid but never beat it (I did however beat the recent Switch remake), so it's cool to learn of new stuff thanks to you guide-aided playthrough such as the 3:32 heal mechanic. 1:59 - Funny enough, Mudkip was who I ended up as when playing this game for the first time and I also selected Charmander as my partner Pokémon. My younger brother meanwhile keeps ending up as Machop, which is a Pokémon I'd have never considered for him. 8:23 - Much like how it's interesting to see how a team is built, it's interesting to see what Pokémon gets recruited to your team. Surprising to hear how you appreciated the rock throwing of your Zigzagoon ally. I remember getting frustrated that my allies would waste all my items, even when they had long distance moves available. 15:05 - Always nice to see when the guides have fun. It's not wrong either; I remember Mt Blaze being a lengthy trip. Interesting to hear the amount of times you fainted. The original PMD is certainly harder than it's remake. 17:32 - Whilst the Gengar-Gardevoir story is neat, it is also a shame that you aren't the cursed human. It would have been neat to have both a backstory and a flaw to your character and more personal involvement in it.

So when we were unexpectedly sent to the Sky Tower, I was like, ‘ Okay we have cleared the main dungeon in Magma Cavern so this one should be small and manageable right? ’ Boy, not only was it about 23-24 floors high ( let alone 9 more floors ) but I wiped out atleast 5-6 times.

Kecleon is, as far as I know, completely unrecruitable. The value that determines how often it will ask to join your team is negative, meaning it will never ask. Though I do remember seeing a video on how to actually recurit it with the help of some items and an IQ skill...

[@dongatito266]

In Red Rescue Team, the Fast Friend skill and Golden Mask do not exist. Fortunately, Kecleon’s recruitment rate is slightly higher at -33.9%. This makes it possible to recruit him with a player character at level 90+ and equipped with a friend bow, found in Mt. Faraway or Joyous Tower. This will raise the recruitment rate up to exactly 0.1%, the same boosted rate you would be dealing with in the Explorers games. It’s technically possible… Incidentally, this is also the same rate you can recruit Blastoise, Feraligatr, and Swampert - some of the few exceptions to the game’s prohibition on recruiting fully evolved Pokémon. Speedrunners interested in recruiting all the Pokémon bypass this nonsense by trekking Wish Cave and prompting Jirachi to grant them a wish for “Something Good”, which allows you to recruit a random Pokémon you haven’t got provided you are at the max rank. It’s still a pain, but considerably easier than the normal method.

I don’t give a _flying FUCK_ what anyone says about Explorers of Sky, _THIS_ will _ALWAYS_ be the best Mystery Dungeon game. Well…except DX, I suppose. That’d be kinda the definitive way to play these games. But still, this story was just incredible. The Pokémon Square music? Amazing. Rescue Team? SO MUCH damn cooler than Exploration Team. Living in a house that looks like your head? Iconic. And the ending has made me cry ever since I first played it, and I can’t see it ever not doing so. So happy to see this video.

Gb and DS hand superior Pokemon looks. Old school sprites just are bomb

Hi, new viewer here! I LOVE the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series and I’m SO glad you decided to give this game a try! My favorite Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game is Rescue Team DX (the remake of this game for the Nintendo Switch). I don’t know if you have a favorite Pokémon spin-off game, but if you do, let me know! The Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games are the reason I love playing video games: the story, the music and everything just blends together perfectly to make an amazing game! Sincerely, Taylor (aka TaylorPlayz)

The switch remake of this game was really excellent. Faithful remastering of the art style and it modernizes a lot of the controls and UI in a way that makes the game feel familiar but also very easy to play. One of the better remakes I’ve played

[@2ndCityTakk]

I've voted almost every poll for Mystery Dungeon to win. At long last! Please continue with the others!

[@KenBladehart]

I remember getting jump scared by a ghost-type Pokemon popping out of a wall Dunno why I didnt expect that

[@Ledonail]

OMGGGG I HAD THIS GUIDE AS A KID (i still do, it's just in a pretty poor condition now). It's interesting that only the cover page is different, the european version doesn't have that glossy finish with bumpy effect, here in Europe it's a simple page. Anyway, bring back a lot of nostalgia, love the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon franchise, so thank you for this video !!

[@etm8539]

Oh man, I had that guide as a kid, I remember studying every one of those pages at my house after school. Those were the good times 😂

[@TheLoneReni]

I have this guide book and the ones for darkness and time as well as sky and lemme tell you they are thick! Super useful especially for red rescue team though because how you unlock some post game dungeons can be a bit obtuse.

Back when these games were Hot Topic on the game spot forums I wrote a program in visual basic that allowed you to generate your own wonder codes for wondermail.. It was pretty fun learning how to do the bitwise operations to make the codes work. However when windows 7 came out the program stopped working correctly.

oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god, this is the video i didn't know i wanted but love it

[@TheAmeerHD]

W video, The Pokémon mystery dungeon games were some of my favorites games throughout my childhood! Also in the post game there’s a few dungeons that are 99 floors

Hey... really quick... Ray-quah-zuh

[@henrymars6626]

I too have a PMD RRT/BRT guide. By a different publisher, worn over the years and missing half the Pokédex in the back. It's a priceless treasure.

[@karoid6409]

Man the only pokemon game that felt like an actual adventure was pokemon crystal but then i decided to play blue rescue team and skies and i got emotional at the ends

[@Feltsick]

I remember this was my first pokemon game. I got stuck and never played another pokemon game again.

[@seandaniels7938]

I played this and never got any farther then beating the main story and Pikachu and charmander is a goat duo in this game

[@icytangus6683]

I LOVE the MYSTERY DUNGEON GAMES

[@piplup2884]

Let's goo he's getting into the mystery dungeon games with the nintended series

[@rafresendenrafresenden.1644]

10/10 game, 10/10 story, 10/10 post game.

[@doggo7078]

I got to the end around 8 times, and I defeated Rayquaza 4 times. But every time I defeated him, I got so sad about the end of the story that I just turnt the console off 3 times. Non-stop crying for a 7 year all time and time again, until I decided to man up and see my beloved game end. I was the happiest kid in the world when I got to come back to play with Charmander, it was my favourite game, it is only beaten by the Sky version now

[@Olivia-lx9tq]

I definitely had this game's guide and I'm living for this video

[@GodSquid]

The soundtrack to this game always gives me goosebumps. I miss the music in Pokémon games.

[@RiveroftheWither]

What do you mean? Both red/blue rescue team and Explorers of time/darkness/sky had anime specials.

[@hereticFox716]

Nintendo, im pretty sure i know how to beat your games better then you With EXTREME prejudice and force

[@Kilo6Charlie]

I love the idea behind the Rescue Team series. Now if only they didn't lock Evolution behind the post game (while having evolved mons everywhere) and didn't restrict your choices for yourself and your partner (aside from evos and legendary/mythicals of course) then they would be perfect

[@JohnSmith-pv2qc]

Humans do in fact exist in the MD universe, there are a couple friend areas that are human ruins.

[@K713channel]

First couple of recite team games were really great, loved them

[@montyeggman3075]

I noticed the Team Sky reference at the Rayquaza fight. 😉
