[@ultimaterecoil1136]

- FireFox6 - oh yeah. Even then the team charm one isn’t outstandingly difficult. Team charm is a pretty strong group and as long as you use the items gotten in the dungeons effectively it’s not as hard as for example bidoof’s episode which you are on a time limit for the first half caused by snowver setting hail. And when you fight the bandits dugtrio can actually kill you. While the bandits are actually pretty manageable solo with gravelrocks and debuff seeds if you get them on the way up. So yes you can win against them solo and feel all good about yourself then get ohko by dugtrio because he carries magnitude and have to do the dungeon again. At least without snowver its way easier.

5:12 - As you've noticed here, not all Unown appear at once. It's not because they're specifically programmed like that, it's because of a certain thing that happens in Explorers (but not in Red/Blue Rescue Team). The floor spawn limit; if there's more than 14 species eligible to spawn on the given floor, the game will choose only 14 of them. And yes, Unown forms count as separate species. This limit is never even approached in Rescue Team because wild Pokemon are distributed more uniquely (you can see this mostly at the Unown Relic, where the forms appear on specific floors). This does have its downsides, though, like some Pokemon being absurdly hard to find (I'm looking at you, Exeggcute...) 6:52 - This one is because they don't actually spawn with the stones, the game only checks for them after you KO them (the Treasure Boxes are the same).

[@skiller5034]

The ONE thing that's unforgivable to me is they got rid of the normal attack almost entierly. The only way to get a normal attack is to have at least one status move and run out of PP on all attack moves, THEN switch to another party member and let your out of PP party member attack. I don't get how they sacrificed such a useful move for usability (the ability to automatically select the best move at the press of a button).

[@VonFirflirch]

@@skiller5034 It had me worried at first, honestly. But after doing everything that isn't tedious like what's in this video, I think we've ultimately gained from the absence of the basic attack. I feel it adds more micro-management to the game, encourages the use of items, and the extra options you have (leader-switching and pushing) make it a total non-issue.

[@pmdmakesmecri2]

If there was something I'd want to change, Firstly, It would be the amount of repeated dialogue like either dialogue that the MC thought then the characters say those same things as a question or the amount of times your partner says "Are we really in the future" YES YOU LITERALLY SAID THAT IN OTHER CUTSCENES AND 3 TIMES IN ONE WHICH WAS THE FIRST SO YOU ALREADY KNOW! Sorry their just so annoying in that section of the game. Secondly, the dialogue trees lead to options that are either the same or just loop back. Rescue Team had some different dialogue that, while still leading to the same conclusion, was genuinely funny and had your partner get mad at you for lying about being able to fly. To be honest, the only funny piece of dialogue came from Chimecho which made fun of this system not having an actual choice (while also being disturbingly similar to Flower breaking the 4th wall. Thirdly, the amount of flashback sequences is terrifyingly large compared to other games.

[@VonFirflirch]

@@pmdmakesmecri2 Oh yeah, if I didn't know any better, I'd think that game was made for goldfish. ;) The worst was probably two minutes after the "sacrifice".

[@edgelord8337]

[@Personalaccusage]

I have an idea for creepy bad endings Kirby star allies: heroes in another dimension It seems friendly, right? No. Here’s why. The bad ending is basically when don’t get enough friend hearts, you go through 4 dimensions with pain-in-the-ass bosses, there are 30 friend hearts in each dimension, some are in plain sight, some are hard to get, and some are just very hard to find without using the internet. Once you reach the final bosses, corrupt Hyness and the parallel mage sisters, it’s going to be hell. (That theme bops though.) if you don’t collect at least 100 friend hearts, you basically get something quite depressing. Nothing happens, they’re dead. During this cutscene, you can hear that low pitch tone like the one from the Kirby 64 bad ending. What is it trying to tell you? You didn’t save anyone, you killed your only hope to stopping Morpho Knight, which is a very large threat, you only damaged fabric and reality itself, you didn’t do anything right, darkness is still out there. And another thing that makes this depressing is the mages pause screens for their parallel fight in soul melter EX, Francisca nearly died in a blizzard, was saved by Hyness. Flamberge nearly died in a fire, saved by Hyness. Zan Partizanne tried climbing a tower just to get struck by lightning (people think this is suicide but it’s not known.) and Hyness saved them. They were forced by their own will to get the Jamba hearts and summon Void Termina. Hell, in Hyness’s unhooded normal fight, YOU CAN HEAR THEIR SCREAMS DISTORTED AND CRYING IN PAIN WITH THE LIFE FORCE SUCKED OUT OF THEM. Also, if you see Corrupt Hyness’s pause screen, he was never like this, ever. He actually cared for the mage sisters. “Zan, if I lose my mind again... no, never mind.” It’s honestly sad seeing YOU killed them. How can we fix this though to get a happy ending? Simple, you need at least 100 friend hearts to get this good ending. It doesn’t matter which, it’s not complicated really, just a bit hard, some also need fast timing. Once you collect 100, you can finally go and rematch them again, after that painful fight, you’re offered a giant friend heart to throw at them. This later purifies them, and returns them back to normal. They thank Kirby for saving them, and return back home. And as you can see as well, Hyness is also back to normal, and this might be the most cutest Kirby ending yet, THAT IMAGE AFTER THE CREDITS IS SOOO CUTEEEEEEE! And now you get to play as the mage sisters! Once that’s finished, you can use guest star with them to finish the real threat, Morpho knight EX. After that’s over, it’s finally finished. You saved the lost souls and you destroyed an awful threat.

I think the music is the only thing that kept me going through it. God bless the Mystery Dungeon soundtrack.

[@Wiimeiser]

Now there's "Dragon", with *six* stones...

[@zapperil]

You think that's bad ? *E L E C T R I C* , 8 stones

[@bfdirockythelugiastan]

i hate, hate, HATE aegis cave, i was legit there for hours due to bad luck

[@Quix0tic707]

How do you feel about Regidrago and Regieleki? Ive never been fussed about the Regis but I really like those two

[@hollowsteel]

Regieleki sounds like a meme Pokémon.

[@Quix0tic707]

Levask Studios Yeah I’m not a fan of the name. Regivolt or Regizistor would’ve been better IMO

[@hollowsteel]

Chris H those definitely sound better.

[@goldenhydreigon4727]

Ah yes, Team Charm: Rule 34 Fodder Rule 34 Fodder And Sixth Sense

[@freexp8928]

Don't forget. If you want to recruit those 4 legends later, you gotta do the whole cave again.

[@kingdomcome3914]

Shit, I thought having to hassle with the Buried Relic dungeon from the OG Mystery Dungeon was bad enough. This sounds like a nightmare.

[@freexp8928]

@@kingdomcome3914 No you're right. The original Buried Relic is still worse, at least to me.

[@maverick5169]

This is why I use Wonder Mail. Don't judge me, Aegis Cave is trash

[@michaellevin664]

Wondermail generation and going in with all the needed stones beforehand. Genius. I C x2 E x3 R O K S T L 12 random wonder mail missions to go ahead of time into this slog

[@mariahs6]

Nah, I won’t judge! The Wondermail Generator really came in clutch, and I didn’t know it existed until I beat Sky. I just used it to get some Pokémon I had a tough time recruiting :D

[@emilyjane1346]

The only good part of this dungeon is the kickass music

[@SpecsCloud]

I always appreciate watching regiggas face plant like that. Gets me every time

[@_Tzer]

Once i saw regice and the next room looking sandy i knew we were up for another dumb regi puzzle

[@MarkofWisdom]

I remember loathing team charm for some reason, but couldn't remember why. Then the Aegis Cave unown puzzle popped up and all the painful memories came back. I *loathe* that level with a passion. Seriously one of the worst designed levels in the entire game

[@ultimayashade8920]

After watching this, I feel like I just associated the name 'Aegis Cave' with a different dungeon entirely and just somehow never played through this one.

[@Starwolfodonnell]

Dang I’ve been watching this channel for years it’s really evolved

[@icebear6757]

10:40 been playing this game for ages and am just now finding this out

[@Saviarai-Dravolika]

I love Medicham alot. And I was sad that Team Charm is not in Explorers of Time or Darkness. Only in Explorers of Sky. Was anyone sad that they don't see some Medicham action in Explorers of Time and Darkness? Also: WhoIsThisGit: *Enters Floor.* Hexa: _OK, big brain time!_

[@carbonx6043]

What are you talking about? Team Charm is in Time/Darkness as well, in the Aegis Cave chapter, same as Sky.

[@senkeymas5050]

As a person who played PMD Sky twice, i absolutely agree with your video: The RNG, the time wasted, the numerous time to screamed like an idiot at school. Aegis cave SUCKS!

[@WERicana]

OK I have to say something about Lopunny here. On the special episode you unlock for them Lopunny had high jump kick. WHY DID SHE LOSE TO REGISTEEL?! UNLESS SHE MISSED EVERY SHOT SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD ANY PROBLEMS! "sighs" that still frustrates me to no end and this is my favorite Pokémon mystery dungeon game.

[@whoisthisgit]

She actually has a chance of not having any fighting type moves at the start of the special episode. I should know because it happened to me. It makes the Lairons in one of the boss battles a pain in the ass, I had to rely solely on Medicham to carry the load.

[@hydroxide7372]

I have repressed memories of this dungeon and Dark Crater... I think this specific dungeon made me quit the post-game for a while out of frustration. Unown are no fun, not even in the side games.

[@rainpooper7088]

*seeing the thumbnail* *immediate Aegis Cave flashbacks* Yep, this deserves to be on here, alright.

[@klaus.sfc01official30]

Dude what is this outro theme? I love it

[@jayceofspades7195]

Hexa getting stoned by Eve for 90hp tho. First Tails and now Hexa, poor foxes get all the abuse.

[@VanilluxeProductions]

"Well at least there's just three of these Regis" ~Regieleki and Regidrago have arrived~ "Oh no..." Don't get me wrong, I do love the Regis and their designs, but this dungeon is just flat out awful especially if one wants all of them.

[@FectoStyle4433]

note to me wonder mail ice rock steel on every lets play

[@Glacier333]

Wow like last week I played the game and finally got to this level. perfect timing

[@9w8suxjehsoxjznw]

Of course this was episode 34...

[@ZeezVovGeeGaming]

No joke in my Explorers of Sky file I’ve been stuck in the “steel” part for over 5 years. I just couldn’t be motivated to continue it.

[@crossux]

I remember this place, OH GOD, i spend an intire month to get all the stones, plus a week because i didn't had internet to look up what to do, i am so glad that i have already my game with all...where is my save file?...YOUNGESTER JOEY!!!

[@MvffinKing]

14:50 that fall had me laughing tho XD
