Its cute to see you and your partner bond on the incredible journey and your partner's reaction when ninetales reveals that you are not the human from the legend.

[@artemis1783]

I think the only part more amazing than this is when your character realizes he has to return to the human world and everyone suddenly realizes this. Fugitives was close, but Farewell was the only gaming moment so far that has ever made me fully cry.

The whole part struck with me. Gengar set what's basically a lynch mob. After being attacked in town,you're told by Alakazam of your options; run away, prove your innocence or die. They give you till the next day where you are ready to be on the run. After which have to endure hostile environments with said mob closing in barely escaping. It's simple but so striking

i think it might’ve been intentional that gladion’s battle theme sounds so similar to this. if you think about his backstory, he fled from aether to get away from the clutches of his crazy and deranged mom. really, he’s a bit of a fugitive too.

When I was younger I was constantly bullied and picked on because I couldn’t control my emotions, so yeah, this whole sequence I see myself reflected in it. The idea that a friend would go through hell because they cared is something that still speaks to me today

thankfully its a video game and not real life, where a "friend" would join in on the bullying just to fit in better at the cost of your friendship.

[@Blablablarandomguy]

The story is kinda amazing. (*15 year old Spoiler alert* ) Shows that even if you're innocent, self doubt is what destroys you. And yet, there will always be people who will believe in you no matter what. And there will always be people trying to throw you under the bus, but they themselves have been through a lot and are afraid.

Until I discover that truth, I must run and survive, even if it means to the edge of the world.)

(This is not an exaggeration) Split from the one you trust most in the world and forced to flee from a cult bent on starting the apocalypse. (You are nearly killed in this game. GtI is surprisingly dark at times) Escaping from hell itself after being turned into stone, fighting and fleeing from sludge-like demonic entities. (This is barely an exaggeration) PMD's most dramatic and saddest moments are *REALLY* weird when paraphrased but also very awesome since you get through it all in the end.

[@projectdelta8702]

As a child, I randomly happened upon this game while trading some games with a friend, at first i didn't know how to save pokemon so i just had a blast running through tiny woods and thunderwave cave. then i got the game again two years later and figured out that i was supposed to interact with the pokemone (all i knew before was that a did an attack and i didn't know if i would hurt them or not) and i was surprised at the sight that i saw, It was me A confused little Squirtle and a Charmander named pyro by my side as I ventured forth rescuing pokemon and making the world better, one day and one rescue at a time. Life at the time irl was pretty rough, and games. especially pokemon, were my escape. I was this tactician of a kid in the main games and now, now i was the leader of something amazing. but when that scene came up, when we were forced to leave, where we were forced to abandon our base and the people that needed us to survive and find the truth, I cried as a kid, the song and the situation was equal parts somber and hopeful and when the same theme played after learning the truth i cried all over again seeing Pyro's portrait and the tears on his face. This game and this moment taught me that life isn't always easy, routines are never set. and sometime's you'll have to stop doing what you love to do the most for a time for the greater good. and the other night, I reached that same moment, A cubone this time but my partner was still with me, Pyro, telling this cubone that he would travel to the ends of the earth along with him to clear his name. I paused for a good twenty minutes just staring at the screen, listening to the music, and crying. slow and gentle tears but tears all the same. every memory, and every single experience came flooding back like a tidal wave of emotion. and after about three hoursof trying to strategically dodge and fight enemies in dungeon after dungeon.... the truth was found and i happened all over again, every time i saw Pyro crying it made me want to tear up in tandem. Thank you Chunsoft, for giving a great experience for me in every pmd game you've made. And thank you Pyro, thank you for believing in this Cubone/Squirtle when no one else did, and thank you for being one of the only friends i had as a kid. you may be nothing more than a sprite or a 3D model on my screen and a bit of coding, but you were my friend regardless. And thank you PMD, for giving me Team PokemonDX (yes I named my team that) as a kid and Team Erinocia now

It didn't take long for me to forget about the curse and about Gardevoir. Many long years passed... But Gardevoir... she never forgot about me. One night, in that human's dream, Gardevoir said this... That she considered me an irreplaceable friend, and that she still believed we would meet again. Gardevoir kept thinking about someone like me. But I... How selfish I was. I lived carefree all this time... I realize now how selfish I was. It's not just Gardevoir. This Rescue Team put up with my selfishness and brought me here. I finally know what I was missing. What I lacked... It was something for the others... A sense of gratitude."

[@PeppyPipLBP]

time903 nah the other stories are better, this one is TOO simple

[@time903]

@Random Person *sigh* It is a story focused on the relationship between the hero and partner showing how far s/he would go to prove the hero's innocence. It is simple, yes, but it works. Stories don't need to be overly complicated to be classics.

[@-memoria-2136]

@Random Person ...Honestly, I adore Super and it's story, but it tried way too hard to be Explorers 2. Not to mention it's hurt by it's pacing - the beginning school segment, although it does a great job at establishing the world and characters, is a drag. And although it was really enjoyable, the rest of the game (you know, the plot stuff) just felt incredibly rushed to the point. Also Dark Matter felt tacked on and made little sense - everyone's so happy-go-lucky in this game but I'm supposed to believe that the negativity of all Pokémon got so bad it almost destroyed everything?

[@dnmstarsi]

Eh, I still think Explorers is better. PMD1 is still amazing but as simple yet powerful Rescue Team is, PMD2 took what made this great and add more meat to this series. That game IMO tops all of MD with this as a close second.

[@reydesonic]

Let's put it this way, PMD1 and 2 will make you cry... multiple times. A lot of the times, simple stories are just that, simple. But this one is simple AND effective in everything it does. I agree that not every story needs to be complicated. This game's story is simple but deep enough to analyze various factors.

As soon as i heard this whilst playing the game, chills.

This this was the 1st time i ever cried playing a video game

[@amirgarcia547]

I’ve just now realized that the Rayquaza battle theme is a more hopeful remix of the fugitives theme, and that rilly just warms my heart. :’}

I got emotional as soon as I saw Pelipper and all the Pokémon I helped in the rescue missions.

Only 4 videogame songs have been able to make me tear up for one reason or another. Those being this, Riki's Tenderness (Xenoblade Chronicles), It is Finished (Mother 3) and Catastrophe (Corpse Party)

My own tears are crying

After replaying it, I think it was this part that struck me the most in the story. I knew already about the song that played during the parting, but I didn't knew a slight 'reprise' of it played at this part. And knowing the context of it, that Alakazam know what must be done to save the world, and he could probably manage that right there, but he still wanted to give them the chance to clear up their name. That really broke me up.

Somehow this blows the original out of the water.

Hearing the new version of this classic song felt magical, I found myself staring at the screen and getting lost in the music during the scene it first played.

Did anybody else expect there to be a choice beforehand to have your character brave through the perilous journey to Ninetails alone, thus saving your partner from being a fugitive as well?

Now this is a good remix. I still think Partner's theme from psm is the best emotional theme, but this is a close second
