Pokemon Mystery Dungeon (Red) Ending

The Ending of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Though the main story may be over, but don't think that I'm done showing Boss Battles, there are more out there. :D
EDIT:Apparently people won't shut up about how this isn't the "end", I already know it is, SHUT UP ABOUT IT!
I've left Annotations for those who don't read the description.

If you're looking for an ending like that, need to go no further then the ending to Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, probably one of the most depressing endings in a kids game ever.

[@edualves9966]

CancerCx this game?

[@LunarSovereign]

I wish the main Pokemon games were this sad. All of the games are absolute masterpieces, there's no doubt about that, but Mystery Dungeon always seemed so flawless and filled with emotion. You don't get that feeling in the main games.

[@tadtad4616]

Well, a little bit in Red/Blue with Team Rocket killing Cubone's mother, but they could've expanded on that a little more maybe.

[@LunarSovereign]

tadtad Yeah. I also recently heard X & Y gets pretty deep.

[@HanMew]

Jack Hayes Oh yeah, Team Flare gets really really fucked up compared to every other team. And Team Galactic was pretty batshit insane.

[@GamingGods64aemilandwalid]

Jack Hayes Explorers of time/darkness had great emotion.

[@LunarSovereign]

Gaming Gods I'm not saying they don't, I'm saying the Mystery Dungeon games as a whole are more emotional than the main Pokemon games.

[@GandalfGreyhame]

Got this game by my father, who has now passed away, on Christmas 2006. It was my first videogame and my god did I fall in love with it. Finished the story multiple times and made it as far as to recruit every pokemon in the game. This pretty unknown game is the largest piece of nostalgia that exists for me. Just listening to any of the soundtracks just makes me want to weep over that glorious time, over a decade ago, that is now lost in time.

[@e.estime3745]

While literally sobbing my eyes out, I literally shut off my Gameboy Advance when my Charmander turned into a ball of pure light and started floating away with the heartwrenching track, 'Farewell' was playing. As a 10 year old I literally thought the game ended there and I didnt want it to end so i shut my game off. I was so upset. It wasnt until I looked it up and saw that the game wasnt actually over and you came back and continued playing as yourself that I stopped shutting it off. That scene broke my 10 year old heart. I was so attached to pikachu and friends!

[@000marioshi000]

Good memories :)

[@rafaelnava5489]

Just played the remake and I almost cried. Amazing game!

[@JH_x3]

This was the first game I ever owned when I got it and Pokemon Emerald for Xmas years ago. I remember the morning I finished it, I’d woken up early just to play it and snuck into my sister’s room crying at the ending because I assumed that was it - however old I was at the time I obviously didn’t have a concept of post-game content lol. Either way, this game has a special nostalgia-shaped place in my heart. Time, Darkness & Sky, are fantastic too.

[@Rubywing4]

Omg, I remember seeing this video when I was a kid, this was the first time I saw anything of the Mystery Dungeon series. This video is from 14 years ago?! And now I've found it again?! I know this was where I first learned about Mystery Dungeon because I remember the name Sonix for the Pikachu player, as well as the Treecko partner. In fact, when I got my first Mystery Dungeon game, Blue Rescue Team, I started out (maybe) as a Pikachu and named myself Sonix and chose Treecko as my partner because of this video, being my first experience with the series. This video, right here, brought me into the MD series. Bless this video. All hail Sonix.

[@piplup4prez]

[@rampantmutt9119]

Did we ever figure out why Gengar got lost when he was trying to take the main character the dark world?

[@TimustheFox]

It’s such a shame that Post-Game does not have much story or development around it (besides the various Subplots and Certain Pokemon you can recruit). Once the post game starts your partner just sort of ends up not following you in town anymore, and the interactions arent the same: it’s as if they’re not as close as they were before which is saddening. Gameplay-wise, post-game is challenging yet very fun to take part in, so we have that.

[@meganium2001]

This video was 16 years ago...incredible!!!

[@DilloYTPs]

I am surprised that the first game in the series is already 15 years old, and then we have Explorers which is now 13 years old, Gates 9, and Super 5. BTW Xanetic, the game you played actually got remastered to the Switch in 2020 after 15 years. Maybe you could come back and play the remaster with the same Pokemon again.

[@ADHDisYippeeeeeeeeee]

NGL, the ending was pretty damn emotional and seriously touching for me, I played as a Cubone and chose the Pikachu to be my partner, which unbeknownst to me back then, made the ending even more tragic. Being that Pikachu served as the perfect foil to my Cubone, with the more withdrawn and somewhat antisocial personality of his, dynamically contrasted with the more lively, emotional, open, and affectionate Pikachu. And to watch them over the entire durration of the story, grow to bond with each other into the closest of friends in spite of their obvious differences, made the eventual departure of my Cubone from the only true friend he ever really had for his entire known life as a pokemon, even more heart-wrenching. For truly. Pikachu was the only person who actually managed to reach out to the withdrawn cubone on such a deep and emotional level, and who showed the Cubone genuine warmth and compassion which he was mostly isolated from as a loner, and who stood by Cubone even when the entire world was against him and wanted him dead. And was the first, and only person who remained a true friend from the very beginning of Cubone's journey, to the very end, and who despite having to go their separate ways in the end, left Cubone never able to forget the time such compassion and warmth had been given to him by his only real friend. I would have liked for it to have ended there. But then I felt when the story was about to wrap up almost perfectly, the story did a complete 180, and kinda committed a full-on cop-out, where my cubone magically re-appears for no apparent reason, and without any concern for the fact that Cubone has no concern or perhaps even memory of his former human life before he became a pokemon, basically rushing a happy ending without concern for any genuine conclusion that would make sense, such as what the other pokemon including gardevoir would think about the player abandoning his human family and friends, which gave me complete emotional whiplash, along destroying what had initially enjoyed most in the story. In truth I believe that the creators wanted to originally have the story finish off by this point (being thematic of having to grow up from the "isekai" or escapist fantasy into the "real" world, yet never forgetting the close bonds you made along the way, finishing off the hero's journey) but possibly because of the slightly more "mature" themes, needed to make the ending less of a downer, as it's target demographic (kids) may find it too off-putting. As well as making the game uncompletable or even just unplayable without having to start a brand new game, and leaving out any opportunity for post-game content.

[@casualpro4772]

The really sad thing is that you had to give up your human life and all the people you knew with no memory.

[@Paulmister99]

I remember when I played this. I was a Torchic named April and my partner was a Pikachu named Sonic. When I had beaten Rayquaza and say the ending, I was SO close to bawling like a baby. This always, always pulls at the heart strings for me

[@2wheelgreek]

i cried at the end of the game when i finished it and avout threw it across the room because i thought the me and my friend in the game would never meet again, but then at the end of the credits i cried again because i was so happy!

[@Orion_Jaeger]

Funny story, I originally wanted Pokémon Ruby and I asked my grandad to look for it and he got this. I was honestly confused at first but as I played I didn't regret it and loved it more. No way was I prepared for this ending, I was totally floored. Safe to say I loved the mystery dungeon franchise after and forever hehe.
