Special Episode 5 Final Boss + Ending | Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky

[@ytw101]

When the boss music plays before the battle begins, you know it's gonna end really good.

[@lyonvensa]

I remember that I did NOT expect to fight Dialga again when the light start to appear, I thought they're just going to disappear. The hype when I hear the music play before the fight is through the roof

[@lpfan4491]

@@lyonvensa If they didn't need to fight, the whole talk of "we have to make sure it doesn't damage the timeportal and destroy the world" would be pretty redundant.

😎This Final Boss battle is the Best and Amazing in Pokemon Game!👍😃👍 this Music and that Primal Dialga is insame Awesome! i Wish we can Get that Primal Dialga in Pokemon Game and Team UP With it! i Want that Primal Dialga ON Min Team! i hope Someday in the Future we can Get that Primal Dialga!👍

[@marcohueber5130]

@@ivikpetersen506 Yes, the music of Dialga's fights is really the most amazing music of pmd, and in this final battle it starts BEFORE the fight, when you don't expect it to play... and right when Dusknoir says "History is being distorted!". But I think the game developers won't make you able to recruit Primal Dialga, since you can already recruit him in his other form...

[@Flap1521]

You are right

[@m1ssw1z61]

I love them surviving in a pocket dimension was essentially Arceus watching all this go down and dabbing their face with a tissue like "Nah mate, not like this."

[@yemiaa]

I feel like the effort that was put into these games goes overlooked a lot more then it should. Like the developers added multiple side stories in ADDITION to an 8-12 hour main campaign (which is longer if you count the post game)?? That’s a lot. Also each episode has its own set of godly music so that’s always nice.

[@thescreamingcage5575]

Yemia if this ever gets a Remake like Mystery Dungeon Dx, they better have all the contents in

[@rioluandeevee6035]

The best music

[@kameron1290]

One of the best things they added in Explorer of the Sky tbh, makes the characters much more fleshed out with their corresponding side stories.

[@UpsilonX]

​@@kameron1290it really makes you feel immersed. as a kid it felt so good to have that cycle of missions and sleep, with the story progressing and side missions unlocking and occurring to flesh out the surrounding world

[@darkmind9637]

And that's how you make a finale.

[@infiniteoctopaw]

"Um, pokemon has never been about the stories," If i hear one more person in the pokemon fandom say that, I AM LAUNCHING THE NUKES!

[@lpfan4491]

It sorta applies to mainline. Otherwise tho, nah. Mystery dungeon lives through its story, that is why people generally do not care about the JP-only Wii game because it is the only one that has no story as far as I know. The only Pokemon Rumble game that sold well is the one with a proper story, what a twist. Both Pokepark games put great emphasis into their stories, even if they mostly boil down to "the power of friendship saves da world!"

9:20. Dialga was referring to Arceus. He was looking if I'm not mistake. North east. Towards destiny tower.

[@scoobyalves1]

No, dialga was facing the sunrise, which is East

[@scoobyalves1]

But indeed dialga was referring to Arceus, it's a bit sad that's the only moment the Pokemon God gets mentioned in this game, it would be awesome if Arceus participated a bit more on the story

[@BoltBlades12]

Why can't more games be like this?

[@sallyparty1978]

Cause that would take *effort*

[@youknowidontknow2253]

because they have decided to raise today's children without values.

[@joshcoy6748]

Agreed!

[@ethangold4900]

There's a few other games that I also love other than Explorers and sadly there are only a few of them because of the current trend in gaming. The current trend today is online pvp games and gacha games since it's what most people consume. I'm loyal to story rich RPG tho such as this one since online pvp is stressful and can be toxic while gacha games are designed to trick you into spending a lot of money.

[@Yoshirocks92]

It was nice to see that Arceus was able to perform this miracle to let everyone live since despite every Arceus event coming out at this point that is level 100 and can't be EV trained but really who needs EV Training for it cause simply put....it's god.

[@neostartwig9800]

An animation of this whole episode would be very very nice.

[@EP1CMONKEY]

just watching this back i know pokemon super mystery dungeon is pretty much the end of the mystery dungeon series but this special episode shows there is two timelines in the mystery dungeon universe the one with dialga not being corrupt and the one with him being corrupt but the timeline is saved. Instead of focusing on the normal timeline where super mystery dungeon leaves off. They can make a new mystery dungeon game but in the timeline where grovyle, celebi and duskanoir saved. I doubt that will ever happen but hey it would nice to wonder about that.

[@thesecond1a]

If only the main games had story writing this good.

[@JennaOrtega-fg5lx]

Best Pokémon Game of all time. Best story, best music, amazing gameplay, awesome graphical style and a glorious, challenging postgame full of treasure :)

[@andrewmiguelcastanas1446]

I remember playing this episode for the first time and feeling amazed how Grovyle, Celebi and Dusknoir were battling Dialga in the future while our character and partner were doing the same in the past. It made the finale even better for me knowing that Grovyle was fighting with us in a way despite being separated prior to our arrival at the Temporal tower summit.

[@HDNDraxirch]

The greatest final boss in any of the pokemon games. This game I sincerely hope gets a remaster that does this game justice.

[@Kinra_Jade]

Oh, thanks ! I never saw this scene before, it's great ! Who is cutting onions ?!

[@Jack-nj9pi]

This theme has no buisness being this good and how perfectly the player timed its intro to when the battle started 👏🏽 true jrpg fashion. Man pokemon was taking clear notes back then

[@JCDragon2819]

I guess that because Primal Dialga disappeared first, he was around for longer than Dusknoir, and Dusknoir was around for longer than Grovyle and Celebi.

[@Lion09887]

The fact that grovyle was voiced by yami yugi in the anime spin off makes it even better

[@kunik61]

Dialga sounds like Yami Yugi after it comes back to senses.

[@B-rex395]

That’s ironic, because In the animated promotional animated they had for explorers of sky, Grovyle was voiced by Dan Green (Yami/Atem’s voice actor).

[@gabrielesoldera2460]

Just imagine it on Nintendo Switch...

[@NatetheNintendofan]

At this time they're probably like I hope hero and partner are doing fine against their Dialga fight

[@nobgs4505]

I doubt that mostly cause the reason they're starting to dissapear is BECAUSE the hero and partner defeated Primal Dialga. Grovyle, Dusknoir, and Celebi are basically trying to prevent their timeline's Primal Dialga from causing even more damage with his last breaths

[@22kingdomheartsfan]

You'd think the master of time Dialga wouldn't be affect by changes in the timeline or could fix the timeline himself.

[@Ilia_Salnicov]

3:53 I have a question. How the GOD OF TIME can disappear from time paradox (change future)?

[@Mauricio0973]

His corruption most likely weakened him a lot, also it is implied Dialga can only control time in his native timeline/universe and cannot create or split new timelines unlike Arceus, who as shown in Pokemon Legends Arceus, he created and watches over the entire Pokemon multiverse

[@neostartwig9800]

I do really wonder who was behind that they did not disappear. Was it Palkia, Giratina's work, or Arceus?

[@Rubycario-yt]

It was implied to be Arceus. Giratina shows up as a boss during the post-post game. If Giratina had something to do with it, it would've been hyped up like the Arceus statue was. As it stands, Arceus is the only Pokemon up to Gen 4 that didn't show up in the game, it was left as an enigma up until Super.

[@The_D_ray]

I mean, I love the happy ending, but after all that existence bullcrap and that freaking ending with Grovyile and Celebi, I wish they actually disappeared for good. I mean yes, it's a kids game, it has to end well. But I would have appreciated it alot more if it was just that. This ending kinda ruins the sacrifice based plot in my opinion. Whatever, is still beautiful. I wish the mainline games had this kind of story.

[@The-Okami-Project]

I know they had to add the happy part to keep the E rating. But can you imagine if thats how it ended. Grovyle and celebi in each others arms as she feels the light of the morning sun for the first time as it rises on a dead world in its final moments. Then poof they disapear credits roll. Its over. Powerful stuff. Things can still be happy and a definite ending.
