Pokmon Mystery Dungeon

Can we have a Mystery Dungeon thread? I got Pokémon Red Rescue Team when it originally released for the GBA and I was glued to the game for weeks on end. It's probably my third favourite Pokémon game of all time.
Do you remember the questionnaire to decide which Pokémon you'd be? I was a Charmander and my partner was a Chikorita. I feel like the story was god tier for people my age at the time. Just the right amount of funny stuff, sappy stuff, melodrama, mystery sprinkled in - by the time the game ended you would take a bullet without hesitation for the friends your character made along the way.

The gameplay was great too, remember those insanely long dungeons towards the end? Like, the crazy optional ones. You'd have to prepare like you were going camping with all the items and food you'd have to bring to survive a 100 floor dungeon. The sprites were so charming too.

AND THE FRICKING MUSIC:

None of my friends at the time gave a shit about this game, probably because it was a spin off. I'm not really even sure if this game was considered good or great on release. And as many times as I've played through Red Rescue Team, I've actually never played any of the sequels. Are they good? I would hope they built off what made the original so addicting and continued to have memorable stories and good music. I really should get cracking on playing the rest of the series.

    Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky are masterpieces I highly recommend. Definitely worthy successors. After that though, I'd avoid the others.

      Saddest part is that nothing like those titles won't ever be seen again. It was also the best game on Chunsoft's mystery dungeon series.

        I respectfully disagree. Shiren the Wanderer 2 is the best in the Mystery Dungeon series. It has an English patch, if you want to emulate the Super Famicom version. Otherwise, I think the DS Shiren the Wanderer is a remake? of 2, if you're looking for options. It isn't bad, but I prefer the original.

            You mean Shiren 1, which is Mystery Dungeon 2, since MD1 was a Dragon Quest Spinoff.
            Shiren 2 is also a great game though that also recently got a translation patch, it's much easier than 1 though.

            whichever game pic rel is. I saw the "2" and assumed it was the second one, but I stand corrected. This is the game I recommend.

                I don't recall anything like that happening in my game. I like the singular goal. The risk/reward of stashing and improving weapons and items to get you further and further. The original enemies being yokai, which were changed in the DS version for some reason. I guess it's weak, narrative wise? But that's also something that I like about it. From the moment you turn the game on, you're playing the game.

                The DS game is a remake of that game and it's mostly the same except it makes the game slightly easier in some aspects and gives you more of a tutorial. They're extremely similar though since I think they mostly share the same spritework. DS does have the advantage of not having a slightly glitchy fan translation though, as [...] says.

                Also you should give the N64 game a try, it's pretty fun as well. I've yet to beat the 3rd or 5th games despite playing them a bit.

                I'll have to give the 64 one a go. I recall trying one on the PSP, and not much caring for it. But I also didn't give it much of a chance.

      Unfortunately OP Rescue Team is very much the peak of the franchise and it's still not very good as an adult.
      Super is the closest to capturing difficulty/an actual roguelike feeling but it also has the worst writing in the series, only slightly worse than Explorers.
      Just move onto actual dungeon crawler/roguelike games that don't suffer from 'Pokemon-ization', that is where the Pokemon gameplay elements clash horribly with what makes dungeon crawler/roguelikes fun.

          The partner in both games is pretty much the same.
          Postgame in Rescue Team is vastly better than Explorers. I don't know how you could compare the two. The number of dungeons, the legendary hunt, the actual hint of real difficulty in the multiple Level 1 and/or 99 floor dungeons is so much better than "insert edgy try hard villain who comes out of nowhere but is responsible for the whole plot" and the Manaphy nonsense which ends as quickly as it starts.

          Explorer's actual story is riddled with plotholes, forgettable characters, characters that deliberately have to be moronic to move the plot forward, and a premise that itself is mind boggingly fricking stupid. Rescue Team isn't a ton better, but it's shorter and commits fewer/less egregious writing sins (Rayquaza doesn't just look up to see a giant meteor vs. the massive and multilayered shitshow that is the Time Gears and the planetwide time stop).

          Rescue Team is the peak. It just doesn't have good following games.

            So the core of your gripes is "I just wanna dungeon crawl"
            In that case sure, rescue team hones in on that pretty hard, but in every other aspect, explorers is better.

              You're not incorrect that I played a...dungeon crawler...to dungeon crawl...and I have no idea why you would play a roguelike if all you were going to do was read a story. At this point you should go read a book or play a visual novel if you want input.

              But even regardless, as I said, Rescue Team has far better pacing and superior writing to Explorers. Not by virtue of Rescue Team having an exceptional plot, but more because of Explorers either lazily rehashing plot threads from Rescue Team or because of Explorer's dumpster fire of a premise.

              It's not really a novel idea to think that a children's game with time travel which infamously ruins narratives under the pen of more competent writers has a stupid story.

                I, like many others played mystery dungeon because it had pokemon on the tin, not because we were versed in roguelikes. For a lot of people the story and characters made them stick around despite the roguelike gameplay.

                Rescue team has horrible to non existent pacing, what are you talking about?

                The only "plot thread" that was redone was the fact that you're an isekai'd human that befriends a partner, and ESPECIALLY then it's done better in explorers

                I'm not saying the time shit was perfect, but it's leagues better than the aimless "day after tomorrow" shit.

                I really like how you're implicitly just outright saying you dislike the gameplay of the games you're putting on a pedestal. What's even the point in playing them, then? You could just watch one of those PMD cutscene movies on YouTube.

                You don't need to rehash the entirety of Rescue Team's plot to me, we've both presumably played it. I also don't know why you're criticizing a game I myself didn't call particularly good.
                The point is that Rescue Team jumps into the actual action and meat of the story significantly faster than Explorers. Nothing happens before you meet Xatu? Good thing there's only 5 or so mandatory missions before Xatu. Explorers early game is so cluttered with random irrelevant bullshit featuring the exact same characters as in Rescue Team and lasts twice as long.
                Seriously. Team Skull is just Team Meanies. Azurill and Drowzee are just Diglett and Skarmory. The partner undergoes the exact same development in both games (Explorers just shoehorns them being relevant with the Relic Fragment at the end of the story otherwise they would have been completely pointless).
                Ironically the isekai actually isn't completely lifted from Rescue Team, though it brings up bizarre questions like what the frick was a human doing in the ruined future in the first place or why they spontaneously turned into a Pokemon because the time portal got destroyed. But of course the fake out death at the climax that gets reverted in 5 minutes is 100% lifted and just as forced emotional as it was in Rescue Team.

                Rescue Team has a mediocre plot, Explorers is just outright bad. The fact that you can't even have what's supposed to be the most emotional and impactful scene in the whole game be original on top of the time travel bullshit is a fricking travesty. Complete goyslop

                I don't dislike the gameplay anon, what gave you that impression? I'm saying that years back mystery dungeon was the introduction to roguelikes for myself and others. We didn't go in expecting that, we went in expecting "pokemon, but____" Most enjoyed it, but largely due to the plot and characters facilitating the gameplay, of which explorers was a lot more engaging.

                I'm critisizing it because you're claiming it's better in comparison, when it's not. You like it becuse there's less "plot fluff" to get in the way of straight dungeon crawling. And im saying that doesn't make it's story good, especially when said "story" are largely disconnected mission arcs (yes, you save people before Xatu, but they don't matter beyond cameos later on). If you like/prefer that, great, in the end it's still serviceable, but in regards to an overarching story and plot, the sequel(s) do it better. And the partner absolutely doesn't go through the same developments. The partner in rescue's literally exists to pull you along, and them pulling you along is entirely for the sake of it.
                >Start a rescue team? Their idea, and you go along cause "why not, it's the right thing to do"
                >Find out what's wrong with the world? Their idea, and you go along cause "why not, it's the right thing to do"
                >You get accused? They suggest you both flee, and you go along cause "nothin else to do"
                And so on
                In explorers they have a clear, defined goal from the start.
                >I wanna be a great explorer
                You coming into the picture's entirely disconnected from that, and you deciding to help is less "it's the right thing to do" and more "until I figure out who I am and why I'm here, helping them out's a good way to get by."
                I'd go on, but it's clear at this point that heels are dug in, so I guess I'll leave it at that.

                The pansy you call a partner would've been a complete failure if you weren't there to provide the 'emotional support' to get them into the Guild in the first place. You even bothering to be an Explorer with them is less 'I have nothing better to do' and more them begging your ass to stay. Do NOT pretend you're speaking in anything but hypocriticals, Explorersgay. Nobody better give me the bullcrap that the Relic fragment 'chose' the Explorers partner when they wet their pants on that damn grate and would've been robbed blind and left there to rot had you not miraculously washed up in front of them. The Explorers partner is literally nothing without you and exists solely as a cheerleader. Rescue's Partner could have ditched you in Tiny Woods and kept living their life because they don't break down into tears the second someone looks at them wrong.

                boring as frick*. Everyone aims to "do the right thing" who the frick cares? I'd rather see a character with actual goals than one who's an aimless saint.

                But enough about the Explorers partner.

                Yes, and that's what makes them endearing. Rather than some saint coming by and willing whatever you need into existence before they vanish to their dirt field at night, it's YOU stepping in to help. They don't beg you to stay, they ask you to join them, and you, genuinely having no other options, decide to do so. There's literally nothing wrong with being the support net for your partner autismo. I know intimate, human connections scare you, but they're a good thing.
                >Rescue's Partner could have ditched you in Tiny Woods and kept living their life because they don't break down into tears the second someone looks at them wrong.
                Yes, and they're all the more irrelevant for it. So much so that once the main plot ends, they cease to be a character. They no longer meet you in the mornings, and when you go to recruit them after the fact, ALL their dialogue is replaced with generic text for that species. They're a non character through and through.

                Literally everything you said here applies to Explorers (the shitty vague goals, the random people you rescue who don't do anything), except Explorers also has a bumfrick moronic time travel plot with a million holes on top of it. I didn't say Rescue Team's story was "good". I said it was better.
                I'm not particularly interested in debating whether the poorly written partner in Explorers is better than the poorly written partner in Rescue Team, especially when your argument is basically just summarizing the plot progression but shoveling a bunch of details on top. What actually happens in both games is
                >the partner starts off plucky, but also has a hidden cowardly side
                >when going to fight skarmory/drowzee, the partner is shitting themselves but you help them through it
                >the partner then does jack shit for the rest of the game (except in explorers when they had to shoehorn in plot relevance with the relic fragment to try and make their continued presence justified by the last 20 minutes of game)
                They're the same character. And hell, people ITT right now are posting the Rescue Team partner if anything having more personality and bite than the Explorers partner.

                >but it's clear at this point that heels are dug in
                90% of this discussion didn't even matter from the outset because my main focus when I play games is the actual gameplay, not the shitty story the game forces me to click through.
                Again, if you want an actual story with well written and engaging characters, you have hundreds of better options than the self defeating premise of a Pokemon roguelike of all things.

                Shockingly enough, going from turn based RPG to roguelike might be polarizing, but the aforementioned aspects convince people to give it a go.
                They're not the same, but we're arguing in circles.

                I'm aware of why you prefer the first, and I get why/agree that it's better for straight dungeon crawling, but in regards to narrative structure for what's largely a story driven game, the sequel does it better. Not perfectly, but better. If the first went all in on the mission format it clearly has, then I might say it's better, but it attempts to string that together into a plot, and it sucks.

              >I'd rather see a character with actual goals
              Explorers Partner isn't a character, it is a prop. You can call them a fricking wimp to their face and they'll thank you for it. The stockholm syndrome is palpable.
              Refute the argument that Explorers partner is a doormat literal who, if you even can. You can't bash the Rescue Partner for your nonexistent criticism, then praise the Explorers for being the same exact thing. I could remove the Explorers partner's blubbering entirely and the story would be more or less the same. Who says the protag wouldn't be able to find their own way towards the Guild without some crybaby hounding them?

              >The pansy you call a partner would've been a complete failure if you weren't there to provide the 'emotional support'
              Yes, and that's what makes them endearing. Rather than some saint coming by and willing whatever you need into existence before they vanish to their dirt field at night, it's YOU stepping in to help. They don't beg you to stay, they ask you to join them, and you, genuinely having no other options, decide to do so. There's literally nothing wrong with being the support net for your partner autismo. I know intimate, human connections scare you, but they're a good thing.
              >Rescue's Partner could have ditched you in Tiny Woods and kept living their life because they don't break down into tears the second someone looks at them wrong.
              Yes, and they're all the more irrelevant for it. So much so that once the main plot ends, they cease to be a character. They no longer meet you in the mornings, and when you go to recruit them after the fact, ALL their dialogue is replaced with generic text for that species. They're a non character through and through.

              >Yes, and they're all the more irrelevant for it.
              No, they're an actual character with a life outside of you, which if you weren't such a hypocrit you'd acknowledge and appreciate. The Explorers is there to railroad you into the story even moreso than the Rescue Team's partner. Compare

                Now what is this supposed to prove? They're both descriptions of the main storyline, not anything having to do with the Partner's personality. The Explorers story having more to it, thus equaling more [WORDS WORDS WORDS], which is a COMMON complaint of your shitty ass game.
                >I've posted numerous examples of evidence, but fine.
                No, you've presented your opinion as fact. Rescue Team's Partner is a character and there are screenshots, which I literally directed you towards, to prove that point. You lost the argument because your main point was debunked. Further proof that RT partner is INDEED a character that does not exist to simp for you 24/7 in pic related.
                has no true goal of their own, they only exist to pull you along and react to things that happen in your vicinity

                This is LITERALLY the Explorers partner?? Oh but because there's no Friend Area or postgame mind 'wiping' it's fine when Explorers does it? Please.

        Gimme some to try. For the record, I really enjoyed Etrian Mystery Dungeon. I like building up a party of guys and preparing for big quests more than having all my stuff nuked when I die. My second favorite is Zettai Hero Project which is also a Rougelite that goes balls to the wall with leveling, but you only play as one dude. If there's more I'd like to try them.

          NTA but really the best thing to do is to Google stuff. If you liked "building up a party of guys and preparing for big quests" you'll love the rest of the Etrian Odyssey games even though they're not roguelikes, as well as Legend of Grimrock, you might as well go try out stuff like Baldur's Gate, Divinity, Pillars of Eternity, etc and see how you enjoy them. If you want to go down more the roguelite route more, I should warn there's very few games without permadeath. Darkest Dungeon allows you to have a party, Siralim is actually fairly similar to PMD at least with surface level comparisons, Dungeon Rats (if you like this absolutely play the game it comes from, Age of Decadence). I've not played it but Undernauts: Labyrinth of Yomi is supposed to be excellent and sounds similar to what you want.

    If I'm being objective here, if you don't like the roguelike genre you should stay away from PMD. The only reason why people parrot it has a good story is because every other pokemon game has a much worse story and none of these people have ever played another series or are captured by nostalgia.
