Wallz TheGamer especially when your on floor 48 in bottomless sea, out of healing items, empty belly and no pp. I was lucky enough to spawn right next to the stairs on both floors and since the boss fights completely heal you up, I easily beat and recruited Kyogre. so now I have a motto for myself. "always bring more then you might need"
Clairis Chang They don't even know there's a fucking plot or more special episodes! Team Charm aren't part of the guild! Grovyle and Dusknoir aren't part of the guild! This is why IGN is shit.
This is my favorite Pokemon game of all time. This was the first game I ever played that really made me cry! Don't trust this review! He has no idea what he's talking about!
You did a terrible review on this game. May I ask you, "Jack", did you ever beat the full game? It seems as if the gameplay you have shown us is you have gone as far as the Apple Woods mission and stopped. It seems you've only played one of the few Special Episodes given. Bidoof's Wish wasn't the best one, but Into the Dark Future was a wonderfully put together episode. It showed us what we asked in Explorers of Time/Darkness, "What happened to Grovyle after he returned to the future with Dusknoir?" I have watched most of your gaming reviews and honestly this is pathetic. Play the whole game, and come back with a better review. One more thing, a game doesn't have to have flashy graphics and smooth pixels. This is a DS, not a Xbox 360/PlayStation 3.
'No reason for a third game' she says. Oh? So the five episodes about the story of Wigglytuff's childhood and rise to becoming an explorer, Bidoofs quest that more likely than not broth your team to the guild, the story of what happened to Grovyle after he took Dusknoir back to the future are just pointless are they? Just because it has Pokemon on the title of the game doesn't mean you can write it off as a simple kids game with no point or meaning towards it. Instead of just looking at the game and using your personal IQ as the rating of it, maybe you could, hmm, I dunno, load it up and play through the game? These games are remarkable, they just have a fairly slow start to get you used to the gameplay and style before the story really begins.
WOW, literally EVERY comment on this video is disagreeing with the review. Guess by popular vote IGN's review has been overturned. Oh BTW I disagree this is my favorite game of all time beautiful visuals beautiful story funny and memorable characters BREATHTAKING music.
Let's see those scrubs complete Zero Isle South/Destiny Tower in 30 mins without using Smoochum or Mew, only Pokémon like Pikachu, Weedle, Skitty, Wooper... too harsh? A bit of leeway then: Dialga, Palkia, Kyogre, Groudon... without using Joy Seeds, Life Seeds, or any stat booster items they find, and *completing 8 Outlaw Capture Jobs.* Not just any old Outlaw capturing jobs, *said jobs must be on floors that turn into special rooms that don't allow usage of Wonder Orbs.* Seriously...
Ironically, Explorers Of Sky is considered the epitome of the Mystery Dungeon series. I'll be writing a full counter-view in a few days. Talk to you when I get my laptop back.
I know, that's what I was trying to point out. Sure we have Bidoof's story who isn't that much interesting (I liked it though). But if the reviewer actually completed the game (I don't think he did with such a stupid review). He would have seen the more interesting stories, like the future of darkness.
-flips a freaking table- LISTEN UP IGN! Seriously? It's like you played the game for 10 minutes! It's because of people like you that the PMD series is underrated!
Sally Butter Pants No, no, no! That's not what i meant... well, i don't know how to explain it to you. Because English isn't my mother tongue. But, yeah, this review is VERY lazy.
Even if they did play the whole game, would it have killed them to play the game just to play the game like a normal person instead of looking for every single flaw located with in it?!
Sans's Dunkateer in modern game commercials, they show what gaming networks say in reviews. so if IGN says it's a 9, a CoD commercial will mention them.
My Review on IGN. +Their Intro looks cool. -Discourage you to play games. -Think COD is one of the best things since sliced bread -Don't finish games before Reviewing them. 1/10. Garbage.
DON'T trust IGN for reviews. don't let them trash upon your favorite games. here is a REAL guide to making a review. 1.Finish the game or have huge knowledge about it. 2.DON'T be a COD hipster. 3.Have an honest opinion. 4.Don't trust IGN 5.IGN is a 1 out of 10. 6(optional)Talk about your experience with the game. and there ya go! your off to set some better reviews then IGN's crap. as for a mini review of mine? ima make it.
Flare Cronius Ok, so while I haven't finished the game, I am well aware that the ending is GREAT and sad just like the original mystery dungeon game and gates to infinity. The game has you exploring around ol' RPG style. exploration? is MASSIVE. there's many optional missions and dungeons to explore, along with some AWESOME storylines in the special episodes. like how one of them explains what happened to grovyle! The game in this edition gives you 5 new pokemanz. Vulpix, Eevee, Riolu, and 2 others I forgot. there's also the bar where you can get stat boosting drinks and other stuff that can help gain rare items. Now, is the trade off reccomended? well, if your a collector, go ahead and add it! as for getting it...uh...yeah...I don't really reccomend trading it in for this game if you have time or darkness. or both. unless you don't have neither of them, pick this up if you don't have neither of em. so overall? +Great Story +Massive Exploration and Bonuses +EEVEE FOR LIIIIIFE -Wonder Mail, may you be missed. 8.0! a Fantastic Game! definately one of the greats of pokemon.
You Just Angered More Than 10,000 People... Good Luck Btw did he even PLAY through the story... my arceus they have bad reveiwers They Had MUCH more than 2 new pokemon... they had 100+ songs... and more dungeon then just apple woods which you stopped at... you never played the story... and only did the worst mini episode just so you can say they all suck... So PMD fans... shall we start the war *now*
Just a couple things. 1. If you are going to review a game, play through the whole game. There ARE new things past the final boss, but you wouldn't know that because the footage you have here only goes to the apple woods mission. And 2. WHATS THE POINT OF MAKING THIS REVIEW?!?! Trying to discourage people into not playing a game you've barely played? Also keep this in mind: A DS is smaller than an X-Box controller. I'm done with my rant.
+Silver the Hedgehog 77 10/10 review THAT is the best review i have ever heard for this game because almost everyone else that review the game don't even make it pass the 5th chapter.

***** I think not, the "too much water" thing is just them being IGNorant, because it's too go with the whole story, half is water, half is land, you got a Pokemon flooding the world and one removing all the water IT'S JUST THE STORY
You're focusing more on the game mechanic, I see. This game is so beloved because of the cutscenes and story. If you hate story driven games because the mechanic is bad, then go back to playing those shitty FPS Multiplayer games that have no story at all. If you ask me, this review seems a bit biased.
This is genuinely one of the best games i've ever played. Recently found my old Nintendo DS and it still absolutely holds up in '21 Also on the "lame new stuff", this game has a post-game story that rivals the main story in quality. Which this guy clearly never touched as they've put maybe an hour into playing the game. Made me cry in 2009 and 2021, 10/10.
(This is REALLY late, so I doubt people will really notice it, but oh well. Contains spoilers. Anything I say in this comment is not applicable to the newest game, Gates to Infinity.) You, sir, make me angry. You talk about this game and about how unoriginal it is, how repetitive it is, but look at the main series games, which all received very high scores for doing the same thing, in nearly every aspect. I'll just provide a 'few' examples as to why you make me ticked off. "It's pretty shameful to see just how similar this sequel recycles a lot from the original Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series." Two things. One, your grammar is terrible. Two, this game does not "recycle" anything except for the graphics and the personality quiz at the beginning, but I'm pretty sure that's all you saw, due to your obvious lack of gameplay experience. The main series games do a lot more than this, using the same formulaic plot, villains, characters, and graphics. "Pokemon Mystery Dungeon might have some charm in its story," Let me stop you right there. Some charm in its story? The story in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series is probably the best of the entire Pokemon franchise, and puts even games like Kingdom Hearts to shame. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, which is probably why you summed up the story with such a vague term. "This sequel isn't much of a step up from the first game in the series, which wasn't all that great to begin with." So you haven't played the first game either? Shocker. I hate it when people criticize things like this, when they have no idea what they're saying. Seriously, go back and play both games, all the way through, and THEN tell me that they "aren't that great". "The Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series is obviously aimed at the younger crowd, so Chunsoft and Nintendo have clearly lightened up a bit on the Mystery Dungeon difficulty." Let me get this straight. You seriously think that this game is more child-oriented than the main series? Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is a very dark game. It has you play as a human transformed into a Pokemon, looking for your purpose in the world, yes, but it really runs a lot deeper than that summary that you gave. You also figure out that time is literally FALLING APART, and you need to catch the thief, with the help of a famous explorer. But when you finally catch the villain, you are taken to the future where you've failed, by the explorer you thought was helping you. You and the criminal escape, only to find out that he was really the hero. You form a bond stronger than friendship with your partner. You travel to unknown lands. You climb a collapsing tower, knowing full well that a power-crazed time god and your imminent death wait at the top. If that's child-friendly, then you have a messed-up perception of life. "This sequel comes off lazy and clumsily produced;" Seriously? This game is anything but lazy and clumsy. The only thing that fits those qualifications here would be this review. You seem to keep forgetting one major thing. The main series, which IGN seems to love so much, DOES THE EXACT SAME THINGS YOU HAVE ACCUSED THIS SERIES FOR. I don't know what went through your mind as you made this, but come on. You don't know a thing about this game. "Graphics Not much of an excuse this time; the original game was made for GBA standards, but this one's a DS exclusive. Nothing wrong with the simple pixel art, but it all just feels a little lazy." Oh, my. Again we're here with the whole "The game is the same as the prequel" thing. Look, I know I'm referencing the main series too much, but again, they did the same thing. LeafGreen and FireRed were for the GBA, and then Diamond and Pearl came out for the DS, with basically cookie-cutter graphics to the previous game. "Sound Some music's catchy while other pieces are forgettable. Many of the sampled sounds are pretty bad, though." I'll have you know, I can remember nearly all of the songs in that game note for note, where they're from in-game, and which characters were present when said song was playing. That's a little more than catchy. There were practically no forgettable ones in the entire series. As for the sampled sounds, I personally have not heard them, but if they're bad, you're not on the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon page of game soundtracks. Search up the name of the series on UA-cam, and some of the first results to come up are purely music. Sorry that was so long, I had to get all of that off my chest, because the hatred I feel towards this review was getting to be too much. VERDICT ------------- Although the author tried to back up his statements, he did a poor job and the flaws in his arguments were too big not to be noticed. The author has obviously not played into any of the games in the series extensively, and was most likely spouting what he did know, hoping to make himself look somewhat educated about the game. I agreed with nearly nothing in this review, and think the author is simply incapable of looking past anything besides gameplay. Overall, not a very good review, with no evidence to support opinions, and just plain sloppy in presentation. TOTAL SCORE - 1.3 / 10.0. My comment
Level grinding? When have I ever done that in a mystery dungeon game? The special episodes were amazing and really added on to the story! And the most amazing story of any game I've played in my life! It was beautiful and I hope one day I can make a game with as good of story and gameplay as this game.

DevilsInferno1 I seriously couldn't have said it better in my dreams, that was a pretty amazing rundown of this shitty review. I completely agree with you and I hope this reviewer gets fired, as mystery dungeon is absolutely by far the most incredible game I have ever (and probably will ever) have played. Luckily the internet are realising IGN's stupidity thanks to gamergate, and the majority of gamers no longer hold any weight to IGN's 'reviews'. This actually brought a tear to my eye, stay awesome :D YOOM-TAH!!!
Not only is the opinion here wrong, but the actual "facts" are wrong, too! "There are two new Pokemon you can play as" is, in fact, quite incorrect. They added in Riolu, Phanpy, Vulpix, Shinx, and brought Eevee back from the old games. Talk about unprofessional and terrible reviews...
Are you serious IGN!?!?!? this is the best game of all time and has brought so many personal memories this game brings fun and unique gameplay, lots of playable characters, great storyline & dialogue, challenging bosses, and the ending of this game just made me flat out cry with the sad music that gives the feels and the epicness of the final fight with primal diagla OH YEAH theres another thing this game introduced primal forms so without this game you wouldn't have oras! most of the people who play this game wouldn't mind about different copies of the game because they would play through it more than once!... I think i have made my point...
They are right about the repetitiveness though and if you didn't expect a dungeon crawler and the difficulty as well as the consequences for dying that most people would not feel like paying then that can kill the game for you........with that being said I do love mystery dungeon
+TheKpa11 I don't see how it's repetitive because you always get in different situations and you always have to use different items and stuff in those situations.
No, I will not put my money away, I will religiously throw money at my screen until my package arrives like I do during a Steam sale and play the hell out of the game.
So... You said that it sucked (which it doesn't, it is one of the best ds games I've played.) because it's the same game and that the new stuff is lame, and what do you give CoD? a 9999999999999999999999/10, and it's pretty much the same thing, you were probably like "this game doesn't have guns and violence, it sucks!" Also, bashing on randomized dungeons, stuff like that happens in randomizing. And it isn't 2 new pokemon that are exclusive to sky, there's also Shinx and Vulpix... God, do some research and also, have a reviewer that actually likes Pokemon, like you have a reviewer who likes CoD... wait... scratch that, Everyone at IGN is a big CoD fanboy...And it's SUPPOSED to play the same, as it is 1. In the same series. and 2. It is an add on with many new features to EoT/D. Ok, rant over. And this, IGN, is why I don't like you guys.
So they basically didn't even play the game past the introduction and never experienced the story or interesting post game. Clearly he has something against dungeon crawlers and didn't even want to bother playing the game at all, so he just automatically gave it a negative review.
You didn't even rate based on the story. You rated based on the gameplay being 'too tedious' when the gameplay is what makes the game good and the story is what makes the game amazing.
Did they play the entire game? It has all sorts of cool new added content. Your playable character and partner option is bigger, instead of randomly warping somewhere in the dungeon your partner just warps back to you, the recycle shop and cafe is very useful, instead of lagging/freezing from getting hit by bad weather you can easily walk, you get to have a music box after you beat the game, and there's loads of stories and post game you get to do.
This is my Favorite game of ALL games not just pokemon. I like the game play and love the Graphics, the Music, and the Story. The side stories were excellent. People often like to keep PMD games to constantly replay so having a second version of the game is great. I CRIED over the story of this game. This game even has good lessons for children who play the game and can teach compassion to children I think. Also even though the game is good for kids the game's story and game play are better than most games for older people. This was a terrible review by IGN and it really bothers me. The person who reviewed this game for IGN has no soul!
2:34 That is misinformative. You can in fact send wonder mail missions and SOS mail from Sky to Time/Darkness. I know because I did it countless of times when I had Sky and my brother had Darkness.
You people have not played this game far enough. Your conclusion points literally contradict themselves. Also, this game did not only add 2 new starters, it added 5. The special episodes aren’t just about the guild members either, not that you would know that. The music, story and characters are all phenomenal and this game has changed the way I perceive life. I know for a fact the reviewer did not complete the game because if they did they would have the heart to at least give this game a 9/10.
This review disgusts me. This game is beloved for story. If you aren't going to play it all of the way through and complain about the mechanics, you're clearly horrible at what you do, and can't call yourself a true gamer.
*EoS gets 4.9 for being same game* *Cod series all the same game with minor changes, get a nine most of the time* IGNorant, finding value in copy paste games and calling unique games shit.
Great review, backed up your statements very well, I played the game it sucks ass just like you told me. Thank you for this amazing review. Oh I'm sorry I have a condition where I talk out of my ass sometimes. Because that was 100% bullshit.
This is what I get for looking at reviews of my favourite games. You know what? I'm done. I will never look at reviews again. I'll play the game and either like or dislike it after I'm done but this is the last time I'll let someone else bash on something I love. For everyone here that loves this game too, stop watching this review and hop on back to your nintendo, put that PMD cartridge back in and relive the amazing experience that is this game again, because no matter what anyone else says, YOU enjoyed it and it was a beautiful game. Aight, now I'm out.
Yep, pretty much the same game as Time/Darkness. I never played those, so I don't much care because it's still A DAMN GOOD GAME. Sky didn't take anything major away from Time/Darkness and only improved on them. The graphics are fine. No one says FF6 is any less of a good game because of it's graphics. I know this game is a lot more recent than that but even so at the time, 3D effects on the DS were a lot of the time didn't look 100%. The 2D decision looks way better than trying to do 3Don the DS, like they did with GoI on the 3DS. Your comments on the special episodes were harsh. Some of them like the Sunflora and Wigglytuff episodes were not that great, but they all at least add some more depth to the characters in the main game and, especially the Grovyle episode, answer questions that couldn't be answered in the main game without seeming out of place. Honestly, EoT is worth it just for the Grovyle episode. One thing you have failed to even mention, in this and the Time/Darkness review is the game's stellar story and soundtrack. Yes, the gameplay can be pretty repetitive but the dungeons serve as nice breaks in between bits of story, and overall I, and I'm sure plenty of others didn't mind that so much. The soundtrack is gorgeous, as with most Pokemon games and the story is one of the best put into a Pokemon game. You judged the game purely as a game, and so gameplay was your focus and I get that. But in doing so you have completely glossed over the game's best features, what makes it so beloved by it's unfortunately small group of fans. In doing so, you've probably discouraged plenty of others from picking up this game and giving it a try and it will probably continue to be one of the most underrated games in gaming history.
"These episodes end up being mostly cutscenes- like you wanted to read a novel about Bidoof's self esteem issues." Actually almost everything charming about this game is within it's cutscenes and story, IGN, you crazy people.
Haha, 1,500 dislikes...... Good job IGN. *slow clap* (btw, there are 5 new playable characters, Vulpix, Phampy, Riolu, Eevee, and Shinx) Do not listen to this review, the Explorers games are amazing.
It's either someone doesn't have a childhood or someone has shitty sense of games. Seriously I played this game before and someone gave a lousy score. Please it's worth more than 5 in my opinion. Anyways here is my rating: Gameplay: challenging and fun Music: LOVE IT. Storyline: Good. The writer done a good job. Post-game stuff: well, some are bad and some are good. At least they revealed some of the member's past and what happened in the future grovyle and dusknoir went back (sorry for typo) My score: 8/10.
Can't spell ignorant without IGN.

This IGN review honestly deserves a 0/10
IGN: Repetitive music.
Me: Have you seen the Jukebox mode and how many songs there are?
They didn't finish the game, so they don't even know there IS a jukebox.
Clairis Chang They don't even know there's a fucking plot or more special episodes! Team Charm aren't part of the guild! Grovyle and Dusknoir aren't part of the guild! This is why IGN is shit.
Clairis Chang They played so little of the game that they don't even know what a time gear is.
Like Dialga's theme... OMG THAT WAS THE BEST SONG EVERRRRR
(with Through The Sea of Time right next to it)
This soundtrack had the best music EVER
4,9 poor, just like ign
THE DISLIKE BUTTON WORKS! IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!!
+Confirm Level Viewer The like button is there as a joke for videos like this

This is my favorite Pokemon game of all time. This was the first game I ever played that really made me cry! Don't trust this review! He has no idea what he's talking about!
IGN doesn't know anything
It's mine too! It should be a 10000000!!
I bet the guy ho reviewed this isn't a fan of pokemon at all, pokemon games should be reviewed by pokemon fans
IGN can kiss my ass, They always have shitty reviews. HELLO, IGN, DID YOU PLAY THE GAME OR WATCH THE TRAILER?
***** HOLY SHIT GROVYLE! YOU EVOLVED!
I want to high five IGN for this review.
In the face.
With a chair.
On fire.
With spikes.
NO! They deserve a nice pat on the back.
With a mace...
Freshpanda88 XD

You did a terrible review on this game. May I ask you, "Jack", did you ever beat the full game? It seems as if the gameplay you have shown us is you have gone as far as the Apple Woods mission and stopped. It seems you've only played one of the few Special Episodes given. Bidoof's Wish wasn't the best one, but Into the Dark Future was a wonderfully put together episode. It showed us what we asked in Explorers of Time/Darkness, "What happened to Grovyle after he returned to the future with Dusknoir?" I have watched most of your gaming reviews and honestly this is pathetic. Play the whole game, and come back with a better review. One more thing, a game doesn't have to have flashy graphics and smooth pixels. This is a DS, not a Xbox 360/PlayStation 3.
Give this person a medal.
Slash The Star Rider Better give him a Cookie.
Alenoba A cookie may be tasty, but it's too temporary of a reward. Medals are much longer-lasting, and more, well, rewarding.
There's no point in mentioning dusknoir or grovyle since the reviewer has no idea who they are.
You are so right!
'No reason for a third game' she says.
Oh? So the five episodes about the story of Wigglytuff's childhood and rise to becoming an explorer, Bidoofs quest that more likely than not broth your team to the guild, the story of what happened to Grovyle after he took Dusknoir back to the future are just pointless are they?
Just because it has Pokemon on the title of the game doesn't mean you can write it off as a simple kids game with no point or meaning towards it. Instead of just looking at the game and using your personal IQ as the rating of it, maybe you could, hmm, I dunno, load it up and play through the game? These games are remarkable, they just have a fairly slow start to get you used to the gameplay and style before the story really begins.
Zupakitteh that was beautiful
@Azure Neko lmao i though it was a prepubescent boy

"using your personal IQ as the rating of it" damn, dude. that was beautiful.
WOW, literally EVERY comment on this video is disagreeing with the review. Guess by popular vote IGN's review has been overturned.
Oh BTW I disagree this is my favorite game of all time beautiful visuals beautiful story funny and memorable characters BREATHTAKING music.
Nice dislike bar ign
Terrible review, this game deserved a much higher rating IMO.
Hoennful And nearly everyone agrees. Just look at the dislikes.
IMO? That's not an opinion, that's a fact!
It's a fact
I was about to say it's a fact but people already said that
"I can make it through a dungeon on my own"
I'd like to see them try Temporal Tower + Spire...
Better yet Zero Isle in the post game. The pokemon there are level 93-99 and there are 50 floors.
You meant Zero Isle South. 99 freakin floors, pokemon level gradually increasing, YOU at level 1, alone and no items
Let's see those scrubs complete Zero Isle South/Destiny Tower in 30 mins without using Smoochum or Mew, only Pokémon like Pikachu, Weedle, Skitty, Wooper... too harsh? A bit of leeway then: Dialga, Palkia, Kyogre, Groudon... without using Joy Seeds, Life Seeds, or any stat booster items they find, and *completing 8 Outlaw Capture Jobs.* Not just any old Outlaw capturing jobs, *said jobs must be on floors that turn into special rooms that don't allow usage of Wonder Orbs.* Seriously...
LMAO they quit at apple woods

Guys, STOP making negative comments.
I'm tired of liking them all
I never get tired of it
@@mrcat4508 It shows that people have actually played this masterpiece.
Of all of the special episodes, they pick Bidoof's story to bash on -.-
LOL agreed
Thanks bro :).
There was in the future of darkness they could of praised
I know, that's what I was trying to point out. Sure we have Bidoof's story who isn't that much interesting (I liked it though). But if the reviewer actually completed the game (I don't think he did with such a stupid review). He would have seen the more interesting stories, like the future of darkness.
-flips a freaking table- LISTEN UP IGN! Seriously? It's like you played the game for 10 minutes! It's because of people like you that the PMD series is underrated!
Or they just watched the fucking trailer.
Yeah. They don't do this to just PMD. If the reviewer doesn't like the game, poof ,negative review. If they like it, boom, positive review.
Clairis Chang Well. yeah. thats how reviews work.
Given, you can tell this review is lazy, though
Sally Butter Pants No, no, no! That's not what i meant... well, i don't know how to explain it to you. Because English isn't my mother tongue. But, yeah, this review is VERY lazy.
Even if they did play the whole game, would it have killed them to play the game just to play the game like a normal person instead of looking for every single flaw located with in it?!
Wait a sec, what? 4.9? And what did they rate the newest cod? 8. Yeah, I'm done with IGN.
Sans's Dunkateer they gave it a 9.
Sans's Dunkateer in modern game commercials, they show what gaming networks say in reviews. so if IGN says it's a 9, a CoD commercial will mention them.
7.8/10 IGN The Mystery Dungeon Games Have Too Much Water.
+Percy Jackson I'm dying! XD
7.8/10: too much fun
My Review on IGN.
+Their Intro looks cool.
-Discourage you to play games.
-Think COD is one of the best things since sliced bread
-Don't finish games before Reviewing them.
1/10. Garbage.
DON'T trust IGN for reviews. don't let them trash upon your favorite games. here is a REAL guide to making a review.
1.Finish the game or have huge knowledge about it.
2.DON'T be a COD hipster.
3.Have an honest opinion.
4.Don't trust IGN
5.IGN is a 1 out of 10.
6(optional)Talk about your experience with the game.
and there ya go! your off to set some better reviews then IGN's crap.
as for a mini review of mine? ima make it.
Flare Cronius Ok, so while I haven't finished the game, I am well aware that the ending is GREAT and sad just like the original mystery dungeon game and gates to infinity. The game has you exploring around ol' RPG style. exploration? is MASSIVE. there's many optional missions and dungeons to explore, along with some AWESOME storylines in the special episodes. like how one of them explains what happened to grovyle! The game in this edition gives you 5 new pokemanz. Vulpix, Eevee, Riolu, and 2 others I forgot. there's also the bar where you can get stat boosting drinks and other stuff that can help gain rare items. Now, is the trade off reccomended? well, if your a collector, go ahead and add it! as for getting it...uh...yeah...I don't really reccomend trading it in for this game if you have time or darkness. or both. unless you don't have neither of them, pick this up if you don't have neither of em. so overall?
+Great Story
+Massive Exploration and Bonuses
+EEVEE FOR LIIIIIFE
-Wonder Mail, may you be missed.
8.0! a Fantastic Game! definately one of the greats of pokemon.
Flare Cronius Does IGN even get the 1 though?
More like
minus 10/10
You mean -1000000
Shout out to everyone who actually managed to actually clear out the Apple Woods dungeon
Jordi Hernandez AKA literally everyone.
If only Nintendo payed you like other companies do, then you'd give them better reviews.
IGN is a joke lmao
first this
then Diamond and Pearl
then ORAS
how does anyone take them seriously anymore
What did they do to Diamond and Pearl?
Benjamim Carvalho They said the graphics weren't much of an improvement from RSE and the overall game was merely a small upgrade from the original RBY
Why Their review of basically any COD game is the first.
Shpeeder-Man Oh true.. have you seen their HGSS review, though?
Why I have not, as a matter of fact. It's not any good, is it?
IGN: "Put your money away"
Everyone else that has a brain: "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY"
Everyone ELSE that has a brain. No you should have said everyone that has a brain
You can't spell ignorant without IGN.
I think they'll need burn cream after reading your comment! Lots and lots of burn cream! XD

They Had MUCH more than 2 new pokemon... they had 100+ songs... and more dungeon then just apple woods which you stopped at... you never played the story... and only did the worst mini episode just so you can say they all suck...

Geoffrey S. Yes, the flame war in the comments is not enough.
Geoffrey S. aye
4.9/10 ..... i hate ing
Just a couple things. 1. If you are going to review a game, play through the whole game. There ARE new things past the final boss, but you wouldn't know that because the footage you have here only goes to the apple woods mission. And 2. WHATS THE POINT OF MAKING THIS REVIEW?!?! Trying to discourage people into not playing a game you've barely played? Also keep this in mind: A DS is smaller than an X-Box controller. I'm done with my rant.
Yes, Exactly! They didn't finish the game! I agree with you COMPLETELY mister! Take my cookie!
Clairis Chang
To top it all off this reviewer's voice makes me want to strangle him >.
*sees LV 17 on their game screen*
When they said “I can make it through a Dungeon on my own” I would like to see them get past a dungeon like Hidden Lands.
It's not like ign is gonna like the new things.

Edit : Dislikes are now gone, so kinda sad
You're focusing more on the game mechanic, I see. This game is so beloved because of the cutscenes and story. If you hate story driven games because the mechanic is bad, then go back to playing those shitty FPS Multiplayer games that have no story at all.
If you ask me, this review seems a bit biased.
Solaire of Astora True.
"A bit"
*cough* a lot *cough*
The worst review ever made
*I DEMAND YOU TO REDO THIS REVIEW*
I wrote a new review in the comments ;3
This is genuinely one of the best games i've ever played. Recently found my old Nintendo DS and it still absolutely holds up in '21
Also on the "lame new stuff", this game has a post-game story that rivals the main story in quality. Which this guy clearly never touched as they've put maybe an hour into playing the game.
Made me cry in 2009 and 2021, 10/10.
Did anyone notice the team name he has?
"Team Kickass!"
Wow, that shows how COD obsessive he really is.
AND one of his extra partners' name was Poo... REALLY IGN. COME ON ENJOY THE GAME
When you realize that this video is likely the reason that this game is criminally underrated:
Anger intensifies
Almost 1,500 dislikes and only about 500 likes... I think the community has spoken for itself
What's wrong with those 500?
plupap Because they never played a real game.
Check out the ratio now...
Not to mention that 6 years later, there are only 640 likes, and now there’s 8,1k dislikes
The dislikes stacked up wayy more than the likes
@@m-pc5334 and it's a thing of beauty , like explorers of sky c': .....
They gave a 9.3 to Sword and Shield , but 4.9 to EXPLORERS OF SKY ???????????? These guys are clueless
(This is REALLY late, so I doubt people will really notice it, but oh well. Contains spoilers. Anything I say in this comment is not applicable to the newest game, Gates to Infinity.)
You, sir, make me angry. You talk about this game and about how unoriginal it is, how repetitive it is, but look at the main series games, which all received very high scores for doing the same thing, in nearly every aspect. I'll just provide a 'few' examples as to why you make me ticked off.
"It's pretty shameful to see just how similar this sequel recycles a lot from the original Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series."
Two things. One, your grammar is terrible. Two, this game does not "recycle" anything except for the graphics and the personality quiz at the beginning, but I'm pretty sure that's all you saw, due to your obvious lack of gameplay experience. The main series games do a lot more than this, using the same formulaic plot, villains, characters, and graphics.
"Pokemon Mystery Dungeon might have some charm in its story,"
Let me stop you right there. Some charm in its story? The story in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series is probably the best of the entire Pokemon franchise, and puts even games like Kingdom Hearts to shame. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, which is probably why you summed up the story with such a vague term.
"This sequel isn't much of a step up from the first game in the series, which wasn't all that great to begin with."
So you haven't played the first game either? Shocker. I hate it when people criticize things like this, when they have no idea what they're saying. Seriously, go back and play both games, all the way through, and THEN tell me that they "aren't that great".
"The Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series is obviously aimed at the younger crowd, so Chunsoft and Nintendo have clearly lightened up a bit on the Mystery Dungeon difficulty."
Let me get this straight. You seriously think that this game is more child-oriented than the main series? Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is a very dark game. It has you play as a human transformed into a Pokemon, looking for your purpose in the world, yes, but it really runs a lot deeper than that summary that you gave. You also figure out that time is literally FALLING APART, and you need to catch the thief, with the help of a famous explorer. But when you finally catch the villain, you are taken to the future where you've failed, by the explorer you thought was helping you. You and the criminal escape, only to find out that he was really the hero. You form a bond stronger than friendship with your partner. You travel to unknown lands. You climb a collapsing tower, knowing full well that a power-crazed time god and your imminent death wait at the top. If that's child-friendly, then you have a messed-up perception of life.
"This sequel comes off lazy and clumsily produced;"
Seriously? This game is anything but lazy and clumsy. The only thing that fits those qualifications here would be this review. You seem to keep forgetting one major thing. The main series, which IGN seems to love so much, DOES THE EXACT SAME THINGS YOU HAVE ACCUSED THIS SERIES FOR. I don't know what went through your mind as you made this, but come on. You don't know a thing about this game.
"Graphics
Not much of an excuse this time; the original game was made for GBA standards, but this one's a DS exclusive. Nothing wrong with the simple pixel art, but it all just feels a little lazy."
Oh, my. Again we're here with the whole "The game is the same as the prequel" thing. Look, I know I'm referencing the main series too much, but again, they did the same thing. LeafGreen and FireRed were for the GBA, and then Diamond and Pearl came out for the DS, with basically cookie-cutter graphics to the previous game.
"Sound
Some music's catchy while other pieces are forgettable. Many of the sampled sounds are pretty bad, though."
I'll have you know, I can remember nearly all of the songs in that game note for note, where they're from in-game, and which characters were present when said song was playing. That's a little more than catchy. There were practically no forgettable ones in the entire series. As for the sampled sounds, I personally have not heard them, but if they're bad, you're not on the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon page of game soundtracks. Search up the name of the series on UA-cam, and some of the first results to come up are purely music.
Sorry that was so long, I had to get all of that off my chest, because the hatred I feel towards this review was getting to be too much.
VERDICT
-------------
Although the author tried to back up his statements, he did a poor job and the flaws in his arguments were too big not to be noticed. The author has obviously not played into any of the games in the series extensively, and was most likely spouting what he did know, hoping to make himself look somewhat educated about the game. I agreed with nearly nothing in this review, and think the author is simply incapable of looking past anything besides gameplay. Overall, not a very good review, with no evidence to support opinions, and just plain sloppy in presentation.
TOTAL SCORE - 1.3 / 10.0.
My comment
***** We need a referendum to sharply increase the score given by IGN to this game, and to drop the scores given to Call of Duty Games lol
you are just so f*cking right
OMG WHY
EXPLORERS OF TIME IS ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED POKÉMON GAMES OUT THERE AND IT DESERVES WAYYYYYY MORE THAN A FREAKIN' 4.9
This is insulting. Terrible graphics? Whining about the gameplay? You obviously didn't take the time to play the game.
If you play a game for its graphics, you're going to have a bad time.
Just IGNore them :)....
I'm horrible
Knew you'd be here!
Better than IGN itself,
They are IGNorant
KoopaNinjaX Is gud.
Hey Grovyle! How's Dusknoir? Is he actually your friend now?
Level grinding? When have I ever done that in a mystery dungeon game? The special episodes were amazing and really added on to the story! And the most amazing story of any game I've played in my life! It was beautiful and I hope one day I can make a game with as good of story and gameplay as this game.
It would be quite a feat to have a game with 75% of the amount of content in this game!
So... this game got a 4.9, while SwSh got a 9.3...
There becomes a point where one's credibility is completely lost...
Meanwhile CoD gets 10/10 -_-

DevilsInferno1 I seriously couldn't have said it better in my dreams, that was a pretty amazing rundown of this shitty review. I completely agree with you and I hope this reviewer gets fired, as mystery dungeon is absolutely by far the most incredible game I have ever (and probably will ever) have played.
Luckily the internet are realising IGN's stupidity thanks to gamergate, and the majority of gamers no longer hold any weight to IGN's 'reviews'. This actually brought a tear to my eye, stay awesome :D YOOM-TAH!!!
Thanks
Meanwhile the dislike numbers of this Video GRADUALLY rise.
Not only is the opinion here wrong, but the actual "facts" are wrong, too! "There are two new Pokemon you can play as" is, in fact, quite incorrect. They added in Riolu, Phanpy, Vulpix, Shinx, and brought Eevee back from the old games. Talk about unprofessional and terrible reviews...
wow! 0 dislikes? this sure must be a great review
Lol
Are you serious IGN!?!?!? this is the best game of all time and has brought so many personal memories this game brings fun and unique gameplay, lots of playable characters, great storyline & dialogue, challenging bosses, and the ending of this game just made me flat out cry with the sad music that gives the feels and the epicness of the final fight with primal diagla OH YEAH theres another thing this game introduced primal forms so without this game you wouldn't have oras! most of the people who play this game wouldn't mind about different copies of the game because they would play through it more than once!... I think i have made my point...
Give this man a cookie!
I completely agree. IGN, this is the worst review ever!
:)
They are right about the repetitiveness though and if you didn't expect a dungeon crawler and the difficulty as well as the consequences for dying that most people would not feel like paying then that can kill the game for you........with that being said I do love mystery dungeon
+TheKpa11 I don't see how it's repetitive because you always get in different situations and you always have to use different items and stuff in those situations.
Saying that its the same old game, yet call of duty gets a pass
They rated the next COD higher than this? Ur kidding, right?
Sadly, no
Guys, stop bashing IGN in the comments!
Seriously, I can't like all 1,668 of them!
wow, the like to dislikes ratio really shows how many people disagree with you
No, I will not put my money away, I will religiously throw money at my screen until my package arrives like I do during a Steam sale and play the hell out of the game.
So... You said that it sucked (which it doesn't, it is one of the best ds games I've played.) because it's the same game and that the new stuff is lame, and what do you give CoD? a 9999999999999999999999/10, and it's pretty much the same thing, you were probably like "this game doesn't have guns and violence, it sucks!" Also, bashing on randomized dungeons, stuff like that happens in randomizing. And it isn't 2 new pokemon that are exclusive to sky, there's also Shinx and Vulpix... God, do some research and also, have a reviewer that actually likes Pokemon, like you have a reviewer who likes CoD... wait... scratch that, Everyone at IGN is a big CoD fanboy...And it's SUPPOSED to play the same, as it is 1. In the same series. and 2. It is an add on with many new features to EoT/D. Ok, rant over. And this, IGN, is why I don't like you guys.
and Eevee.
This review is old and im still upset .
Yeah I think most of us are still preeetty upset XD
the funny thing is that the employee only played until the apple Woods
“There’s barely any new content”
hey reviewer maybe if you FINISHED THE GAME, YOU WOULD ACTUALLY SEE THE NEW CONTENT 😭
So they basically didn't even play the game past the introduction and never experienced the story or interesting post game. Clearly he has something against dungeon crawlers and didn't even want to bother playing the game at all, so he just automatically gave it a negative review.
You can't spell ignorance without IGN...
580 likes / 6180 total = 9.4% like rate.
This review is 9.4% accurate.
10 - 4.9 = 5.1 deducted points
Only 9.4% of those deducted points are popularly justified.
5.1 • .094 = .4794 points justly deducted.
10 - .4794 = 9.5206
"9.5/10" -Math
@Judd Crane Just another update: with 660/9809 at a 6.73% like rate, the total is now around 9.65!
You didn't even rate based on the story.
You rated based on the gameplay being 'too tedious' when the gameplay is what makes the game good and the story is what makes the game amazing.
giving PMD Sky a 4.9? out of 5, right? :D
... out of 5, right? :|
Did they play the entire game? It has all sorts of cool new added content.
Your playable character and partner option is bigger, instead of randomly warping somewhere in the dungeon your partner just warps back to you, the recycle shop and cafe is very useful, instead of lagging/freezing from getting hit by bad weather you can easily walk, you get to have a music box after you beat the game, and there's loads of stories and post game you get to do.
They got to Apple Woods, apparently
ZekromFury That's not enough to get the full experience of the game.
ZekromFury True.
Just to let you know, that footage may not even be theirs.
This is my Favorite game of ALL games not just pokemon. I like the game play and love the Graphics, the Music, and the Story. The side stories were excellent. People often like to keep PMD games to constantly replay so having a second version of the game is great. I CRIED over the story of this game. This game even has good lessons for children who play the game and can teach compassion to children I think. Also even though the game is good for kids the game's story and game play are better than most games for older people. This was a terrible review by IGN and it really bothers me. The person who reviewed this game for IGN has no soul!
AGREE!
BRING BACK ZeRo!
wheres mah boi zero
The game is called pokemon mystery DUNGEON but the game has the NERVE to send me into another dungeon
Not just any dungeon, randomized dungeon. Can you believe it?!
the amount of dislikes on this makes me happy. this review is bad and ign should feel bad.
Sword and Shield (imo not even the best core games): 9.3
Flawless masterpiece that made me cry: 4.9
B R U H
2:34 That is misinformative. You can in fact send wonder mail missions and SOS mail from Sky to Time/Darkness. I know because I did it countless of times when I had Sky and my brother had Darkness.
All of the review is misinformative.
709 likes vs 10K+ dislikes for anyone wondering
Atp they should just delete the video
You people have not played this game far enough. Your conclusion points literally contradict themselves. Also, this game did not only add 2 new starters, it added 5. The special episodes aren’t just about the guild members either, not that you would know that. The music, story and characters are all phenomenal and this game has changed the way I perceive life. I know for a fact the reviewer did not complete the game because if they did they would have the heart to at least give this game a 9/10.
This review disgusts me. This game is beloved for story. If you aren't going to play it all of the way through and complain about the mechanics, you're clearly horrible at what you do, and can't call yourself a true gamer.
4.9? I bet u can't make a game better.
Disliked.
They didn't even play through the entire game
So you gave this game a 4.9 for the same thing that all cod games have.
Did you even play the full game? Or did you just play up to apple woods lmao
Can someone give a wonder gummy to the reviewers, please? They need a strong IQ boost
A green gummy would be great for this insect.

Wait, TWO new Pokemon!? It's like the guy played it only once and never did any research!
Why does everyone dis this game (series)? it rocks and i F***ing hate people who say that this game isn't worth your time
*EoS gets 4.9 for being same game*
*Cod series all the same game with minor changes, get a nine most of the time*
IGNorant, finding value in copy paste games and calling unique games shit.
Great review, backed up your statements very well, I played the game it sucks ass just like you told me. Thank you for this amazing review.
Oh I'm sorry I have a condition where I talk out of my ass sometimes. Because that was 100% bullshit.
Ign has the same condition
Lol
Good one :P
ME: Laughing like shit.
You got me there for a second!
This is what I get for looking at reviews of my favourite games. You know what? I'm done. I will never look at reviews again. I'll play the game and either like or dislike it after I'm done but this is the last time I'll let someone else bash on something I love.
For everyone here that loves this game too, stop watching this review and hop on back to your nintendo, put that PMD cartridge back in and relive the amazing experience that is this game again, because no matter what anyone else says, YOU enjoyed it and it was a beautiful game. Aight, now I'm out.
Ur pfp says it all
PFP perfectly matches
Lmao @ the dislikes.
senpai
They had em' coming
Rebellious Treecko THEY NEVER SAW IT COMIIIIIIIIIIIIING
The sad thing is that the reviewer only played for about 3 hours which is not even 1/8 of the game and says that it is "the same old game"...
Yep, pretty much the same game as Time/Darkness. I never played those, so I don't much care because it's still A DAMN GOOD GAME. Sky didn't take anything major away from Time/Darkness and only improved on them.
The graphics are fine. No one says FF6 is any less of a good game because of it's graphics. I know this game is a lot more recent than that but even so at the time, 3D effects on the DS were a lot of the time didn't look 100%. The 2D decision looks way better than trying to do 3Don the DS, like they did with GoI on the 3DS.
Your comments on the special episodes were harsh. Some of them like the Sunflora and Wigglytuff episodes were not that great, but they all at least add some more depth to the characters in the main game and, especially the Grovyle episode, answer questions that couldn't be answered in the main game without seeming out of place. Honestly, EoT is worth it just for the Grovyle episode.
One thing you have failed to even mention, in this and the Time/Darkness review is the game's stellar story and soundtrack. Yes, the gameplay can be pretty repetitive but the dungeons serve as nice breaks in between bits of story, and overall I, and I'm sure plenty of others didn't mind that so much. The soundtrack is gorgeous, as with most Pokemon games and the story is one of the best put into a Pokemon game.
You judged the game purely as a game, and so gameplay was your focus and I get that. But in doing so you have completely glossed over the game's best features, what makes it so beloved by it's unfortunately small group of fans. In doing so, you've probably discouraged plenty of others from picking up this game and giving it a try and it will probably continue to be one of the most underrated games in gaming history.
Admittedly sunflora sucked igglybuff was good
That like-dislike ratio :P.
Deserved for such an awful review lol :p
*exit is next to spawn*
IGN: What, you think I'm weak?
Me: THANK YOU GODS I'M ALMOST OUT OF HEALTH ITEMS
Guys, do any of you have some Gummis?
These guys need them for IQ boost
Green gummy for this insect
Meh, They would probably choke on the gummies then rate the gummies a 1/10 because you needed to chew them.
"These episodes end up being mostly cutscenes- like you wanted to read a novel about Bidoof's self esteem issues."
Actually almost everything charming about this game is within it's cutscenes and story, IGN, you crazy people.
"The games are almost all the same"
Should have said that for COD
Haha, 1,500 dislikes...... Good job IGN. *slow clap*
(btw, there are 5 new playable characters, Vulpix, Phampy, Riolu, Eevee, and Shinx)
Do not listen to this review, the Explorers games are amazing.
I loved sky more because of shinx and vulpix
@@snekladyrobin RIOLU 4EVER
4.9/10 To much feels
*cries self to sleep*
Regularly checking back to see how much the dislikes have grown…
It's either someone doesn't have a childhood or someone has shitty sense of games. Seriously I played this game before and someone gave a lousy score. Please it's worth more than 5 in my opinion.
Anyways here is my rating:
Gameplay: challenging and fun
Music: LOVE IT.
Storyline: Good. The writer done a good job.
Post-game stuff: well, some are bad and some are good. At least they revealed some of the member's past and what happened in the future grovyle and dusknoir went back (sorry for typo)
My score: 8/10.
