Poor Reviews For Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX

I always like the mystery dungeons games or at least the first two because they were not afraid to do serious story telling and at that time the only games that had interesting stories where the game cube spin off games Colosseum and Gale of Darkness. As for one of the reviews of the remake why is depositing money so you don't lose it in a dungeon a negative? You have to pass by it on they way to the job board anyway I'm more curious if the rescue feature works it was a hassle to rescue people online because of the stupid mail system.

@Aiden985 I loved the mystery dungeon games as well because it was a step away from the standard play style of the other pokemon games. This was the exact same "format" as the first pokemon mystery dungeon. They literally said, "hey we're putting out the same 2 games in 1 but with different art." Why the low score? Pokemon literally told the fans this is what they were getting and actually did that for once. Losing money if you fail the dungeon was a mechanic since the first one as well as pre-purchasing the home areas. I don't get why it's a negative either. I guess if the reviewers didn't like the first one or the other ones, they wouldn't like this "new" pokemon mystery dungeon either.

@HuGiOh I remember playing fire red in the past. Probably put close to 100 hours into it across multiple playthroughs. I enjoyed the demo of the remaster, so I know I'm gonna enjoy this remastered nostalgia trip.

@Cheera I enjoyed it as well. I know I'm going to enjoy this one too. We know what we're getting ourselves into. I think the poor reviews were simply ppl that never played the games and then told to review it. Or even just the ppl that didn't enjoy the first one.

Every complaint I heard (other than poor movement with the switch analogue stick) I completely remember from the original game. And I played and replayed that Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team for as long as I had my DS. All of those complaints are valid when I compare it to the turn-based dungeon crawling games I've played since, but at the time I didn't know about any of that. Now Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is a part of my childhood memories, and I honestly think it was because of my love for Pokemon at the time, the solid story (I was honestly emotionally invested in it), and the good-ol' gotta-catch-them-all collection aspect that gave me a motive to run dungeons and make money.

Mystery Dungeon games have always had a cult following that don't really appeal to a wider audience, but i can honestly say they're some of a the best games i've played - even comparing to some AAA titles. The story is thought provoking and addresses issues that other pokemon games have never even come close to whilst encapsulating you in the world and characters around you. The gameplay is sort of grindy, but each dungeon compiles minor changes from those before it making each dungeon differ from the last. I honestly can't recommend these games enough - especially Explorers of Sky.

@Grunji Explorers gets so much deserved love, but Rescue Team always outshined it for me. Mechanics were so much better (who's idea was it to limit storage?!) but Explorers was phenomenal. While I agree and believe the repetitive dungeoning is a turn off to some, its much less grindy than normal Pokemon games, and it isnt mindless. you have to pay attention and use your brain or a Beedrill will bullet seed you to death. To me, the core of the main games isnt the story a lot of the time, but the grinding of levels on your Pokemon. You battle relentlessly so you can battle more. Here, you dungeon relentlessly so you can dungeon more. In summary, the repetitive dungeoning is a core part of the game and not a detriment. I don't like that this is held against the series, this phenomenal series with amazing music, art, and story, by critics. I do believe that it should be considered before purchase. Dont bomb the score, just put a warning in.

I really enjoyed the Mystery Dungeon games... fifteen years ago. I played the crap of three generations of them. Now that I'm almost thirty, I just don't find those games quite as enjoyable anymore. Besides all that, I'm sure as FUCK not spending nearly $92 for a slight upgrade of a game I still own.

I liked the game back in the day and my taste for grinding hasn’t changed so I’m probably gonna play it. So yea it’s probably for people who like it in the first place.
