BTW the Mystery Dungeon games are known for having a metric boatload of postgame content. Easily twice over the amount of time spent on the main story.

I love how pokemon made official pokemon Isekai games. "I woke up as a amnesiac pokemon and started a rescue team" would 100% be the light novel title.

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

NGL, zizagoon throwing rocks and being like the MVP of the team had me dying of laughter for some reason

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.

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.

I will forever be salty about the remaster removing the ability to walk around in friend areas.

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.

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.

I remember dying 30 times to rayquaza 💀

If I had this guide as a kid I might have actually finished the game instead of getting stuck and quitting lol

YOOOO I ACTUALLY HAD THIS GUIDE AS A KID!! I loved the heck out of Blue Rescue Team as a kid! I actually never even needed the guide until the post-game since unlocking some of the secret Friend Areas (like Sky Blue Plains) and activating some of the post-story events was a little cryptic, so playing the game without any help and learning all this complicated hidden stuff I didn't know about was really cool to me!! I loved the cool Zapdos poster that came with the guide too, and the cool art on some of the pages. Thanks for the throwback!

I can trace the birth of my cynicism directly to the fact that this game was promoted with a single anime episode. I waited so long for them to start airing the rest of the series.

PMD deserves Post-Game coverage bc its extremely rich in story despite being “after” the main story. It really isnt the same if you don’t complete it, I highly recommend it!

I remember getting really lucky and befriending Moltress after my second attempt at the mission. After that I swept through the post game and remember specifically always starving in the ruins in stage 100 and something. I absolutely loved that game. I'm lucky enough to still have my safe file

I feel like Nintendo intended for you to have Magnemite and Absol as your permanent party members

The Mystery Dungeon series were so underrated to me! I loved them along with the original Pokémon series too! I wish I heard more about these games as well.

Awesome!!! I love you branching out to play non main series games with guides. One of my fave RU-vid series

Oh damn, I’ve turned into a Pokémon! Better pick up this convenient guide about this exact situation that I conveniently have for this exact situation!

I literally did not know there was a GBA version. I assumed both were on the DS! That’s crazy.

When you got my first, it was hard enough, but choosing my first partner brought back all sorts of emotions I didn’t know I still have. This game gives me ALL the emotions even now.

I played this game recently and it quickly became my favorite just because of its story. Also, I do remember that Mt. Blaze was rumoured to be extremely difficult by townspokémon but I really didn't find it really difficult ... It was ... Average. We made it through more unscathed than we were supposed to. 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. Sky Tower was the first huge roadblock for me after understanding the mechanics of this game. I am atleast thankful that Rayquaza didn't Hyper Beam any of my friends or me.

I had a completely different guide as a kid that seems like it was way better. Full pokedex in the back, every dungeon had a floor guide with the floors each Pokémon would spawn and at what level and even a flow chart for the post game

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.

When I was a kid I begged my mum to buy me this guide, I never had the game, but I read it over amd over as I liked it a lot, then after many years I got to play it and use it when I was playing it

Man, I got cubone when I first got the game, I loved that cubone so much and my partner was Pikachu. The ground electric combo was pretty nice.

"This is by far the longest dungeon in the game" 20:31 He clearly hasn't played the post-game lol, try purity forest, wish cave, or silver trench if you want longer ones

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

Them removing the fried areas in the new version was the most blatant back stab I've ever seen!

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...

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 😂

21:49 Mikey would probably like this!

The guide states you can have Kecleon join your team if you're above level 90, but what it doesn't mention is that Kecleon's recruitment rate is at a level *below* zero, so you have to have a Friend Bow to even bring the chance slightly above zero, and even then it's only 0.1%!!

there is one major story event in the postgame, finding out that gengar is the human from the ninetails legend.

This was one of the only guides I ever had, with red rescue team. Fantastic series, loves the MD games and always find myself going back to them. The stories are great and the gameplay was always fun. Excellent video

I was in my late 20's when Pokemon Mystery Dungeon came out here, and I too loved the idea of playing as a Pokemon! Great games...

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

yayyy i'm so glad you're doing non main-series games! :D the ending to this game destroyed me as a kid omg

21:47 As a fan of MandJTV, I approve

all you need to know about mystery dungeon: frustration is the best tm in the game, and link attacks are op, especially if you link 2 or more frustrations together, 2 frustrations is 90 damage in 1 turn, 4 would be 180, no pokemon in the main story is surviving that (they wouldnt survive 3 either) the starter (and partner) barely matter since every pokemon in the game can learn frustration and link it, also you wanna buy and hold onto as many reviver seeds as you possibly can, those are also completely op. so its best to check both shops after every mission and look for reviver seeds on the left shop and frustration tms on the right one and buy as many as you possibly can.

I still have the Nintendo Power guide for Red and Blue rescue teams! I had so much fun with those games when they came out.

Owning any pokemon manual makes you feel like a million Poundollars

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

You must have actually completed the game as a kid, because evolving is part of the post-game.

ngl tho, i love the visual change of the magma cavern the further you progress

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

"This is by far the longest dungeon in this game" Bro did NOT make it to Wish Cave

15:25 stepped on the most powerful move in the game

SE moves only doing 1.5x damage was definitely a good balancing choice lol, since Pokemon have way less health in these games

I remember seeing the first trailer for PMD on Serebii. It was completely in Japanese so I didn't understand a word, but Serebii said you could be a Pokemon! It was something I'd always dreamed about! I read everything I possibly could on this game and counted down the days until release... and I got it on release day from my local Gamestop, along with the official guide. I still have the game and the guide to this day and they are some of my personal treasures.

I would like to explain that Groudon is not the cause of the natural disasters, and if anything is actually a victim of them as it had nothing to do with the earthquakes. The meteor was actually the cause of all of the natural disasters, and you were sent to the Pokémon world to stop the natural disasters, meaning destroying the meteor.

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS, I’M SO EXCITED

The conclusion to Gengar's character arc is in the post-game. All becomes sorta clear them.

PMD Protag: I must return to my homeworld. My people need me

The rest of the mystery dungeons and Pokémon Ranger!

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

I never realized how critical of an item Stun Seed would be.

I wish dungeons were real

i dont ever remember beating the game until a few months ago, despite me remembering clear as day getting to the mandatory absol recruit

I remember getting both when they came out as a kid. I loved them so much

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

I remembered back in the day where you could just create your own missions. I did the ruins and created only "find" missions at the highest levels and on "find" missions you only need to have it in your inventory. I cheesed so many ranks like that

Funny how the house in team Red has more water accents and in blue it has a fireplace and everything

this makes me wanna play all the mystery dungeons again! i got red rescue team back in the day when i was 12 years old when it came out! thanks for the nostalgia hahaha love the vid! Ps not a pokemon watcher so funny how this got in my recommended

Blue Rescue Team is one of the very few guides I own. I remember referencing it constantly to find Pokémon. I spent a playthrough ranking up to Gold just to see what Team Alakazam says about it and was very disappointed that they failed to acknowledge me. And then I lost all of my items when playing as Mew for the first time (after spending hours finally getting it) and I cried and stopped that playthrough to start over.

I played Mystery Dunegon Time. I cried, but most importantly, I learned that playing a fire type is the best option cause you get smoke screen that 100% stops the enemy (even legendaries) from landing any hits.

About evolution here. About midway through the story, Lombre mentions how Pokemon are no longer evolving. And the first post-game scene shows Snubull wandering into a new cave that appeared at Whiscash's pond and evolved into Granbull. That cave is the one and only place you can evolve Pokemon in Red and Blue Rescue Team. Yeah, in Mystery Dungeon, evolution is always locked to post-game

I've played and replayed the PMD games dozens of times, and I never knew you could link more than two moves together until watching this video :O

I remember I was meant to get this for my birthday when I was 12. I snuck into my parents room and swapped the cartridge for another of my games and finished the entire thing in one night haha

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

Dude, the post game is the best part about that game

I was so hyped when the remake came to switch only to find out they cut the friend islands for NO REASON LIKE WTF NINTENDO?!

I too, see Gardevoirs in my dreams occasionally.

Aw man the strategy guide book is so beautiful

22:42 until the reveal that its actually Gengar that was Gardevoirs trainer that abandoned her

But how do you beat RU-vid as it was attended? 🤔🤔🤔🤔 ah seeing the old mystery dungeon brings back so many memories I played it all the way through very challenging. Now I wanna play my switch version now lol

missed the opportunity to say “the way nintendend”

this was a good video, You should do explorers of sky next!

I got mudkip too never finished but had this game

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.

*POKEMON GO AS NINTENDO NINTENDED*

I actually had rrt/brt guide when i played through them as a kid. Ended up learning about the smeargle softlock from it.

Missed opportunity to name this series "Beating X how Nintendo intendo"

I literally just started a playthrough of Red Rescue Team 2 days ago

It always bothered me that you have to point out a meteor heading towards the earth to a being that lives in the ozone layer. Like you’d think Rayquaza would notice the meteor before Xatu would. It’s funny that you just ask Rayquaza to look up and that’s when Rayquaza notices the huge meteor hurdling towards the earth

I remember that when i first played the game i was always expecting a rematch against gengar and the boys, it's just something it was obvious it would happen, but at the end nope, which was really odd for me, and also since the pokemon i got was bulbasaur and i was underleveled i couldn't get pass moltres, so i started a new game and grinded all the way up to level 27, eventually finishing the main story overleveled like in level 35

leaving a like just for the stun seed joke

We are exactly opposites. I got charmander and chose mudkip as a partner

Good luck recruiting a keckleon. It has a negative recruitment stat. You need specific items and abilities just to get 0.1% It also has maxed stats.

Who else got stuck on this game after losing the Dive HM lol?

So THIS is how they "Ninteded" us to beat it...guess I'll have to try this on my Pokémon MD DX save file.

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

I learned something today..you always want to throw a Stun Seed backwards..so that enemies become paralyzed AND have to deal with deez nutz

I was on my 5th playthrough growing up before I found out you could hold A+B to wait and heal.

I was so bad at this game as a kid that I had to call my older cousin on the phone to help me beat Zapdos lmao

Great video, nice job beating the game the way Nintendo intended, anyways, keep it up!

Love the Team Sky reference lol

This Moment when you use the music of a Final Boss in the beginning😂

I swear to evolve you speak to the fish that's how I evolved I swear 🤣
