    Kevin, you lost to my volcarona fair and square by missing a bunch of stone edges. Get over it.

    I'm suprised you didn't mention the Optimal dungeon exploration strategy of bringing 2 pages of reviver seeds

    • @KayJulers
      @KayJulers  4 роки тому +9

      LOL You're 100% right! I actually didn't use a single reviver seed in the main story since I saved them all up for post-game dungeons.

    The humor and the skit was really well done! This game has a deeper story/lore than I expected

    • @KayJulers
      @KayJulers  4 роки тому

      Thank you, Angel! Yeah, the story's strength is really surprising and after revisiting both Rescue Team and Explorers, I think Explorers manages to take it to the next level.

    Don’t mind the spoilers, started with the games when they came out fifteen years ago. I remember playing these games when I was on road trips with my mom. I also was around 11. Started with blue. Here excited for the new edition.

      Welcome aboard! I can relate a lot with the age and starting with blue, which is neat!

    Actually, the crying portrait WAS used before the finale; it was used when the partner checks the mailbox after Team Meanies ransacks it, only to see it was emptied out.

    I know this video is 2 years old, but I'm happy to see more Pokémon Mystery Dungeon content I havne't before! =)
    By the way, and maybe you know this by now, but I noticed that you played the game at the default "slow" walking speed; and I'm not talking about running with B.
    You can increase the speed Pokémon walk in the settings! I don't know why this wasn't the default, but hey, having that option is cool none-the-less! =P
    In English it should be -> Open the menu -> Other -> Settings -> Dungeon -> Speed (and set to from "Slow" to "Fast")

      We got the chance to film those letter takes this weekend and it was a blast lol.

    This was really good I kinda hope you end up talking about the rest of the series. These are some of my favorite Pokémon games and I’m kinda hoping we see a remake of Explorers of Sky.

    • @KayJulers

      If this title sells well then I could definitely see an Explorers remake on the horizon! I'm a big fan of the Explorers titles and have plans to play Super for the first time pretty soon.

      That would be really cool to have multiple house styles! I wouldn't mind a Swampert house. Sky Tower, Magma Cavern, and the Swamp Friend Area theme are such great songs.

      @KayJulers  4 роки тому

      I really enjoy it! Perhaps more than Rescue Team. I used to think less of it many years ago, but replaying Sky helped a lot. I wouldn't mind tackling it in a future video.

    Other than the first two gens' stories being the best stories I could hope for in a main series Pokémon game (coming from someone who played Pokémon Blue for the first time in 2016, who had played SoulSilver upon release but not the original gen 2 games, admittedly wasn't fond of Black's story and thus didn't play its presumably better sequels, derived some enjoyment from Moon's story and didn't pay too much attention to Pearl's story even when Sinnoh as a region lent itself to reinforce it), which is more than likely something more subjective than not, I agree with most if not everything that you presented in this video. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team was the first game I could call my own (it hit me when you said the same thing about Pokémon Silver), and just like you, I devoted countless hours of my childhood to playing it. It being both my first game and my first Pokémon game (I had already been a big Pokémon fan since before gen 3 released in the west), I was quite a noob when it came to the gameplay so I got stuck in some places, and when I wasn't getting stuck I was doing missions nonstop or just exploring dungeons I had already been to for the sake of it, so I could've very well been upwards of 100 hours (or even 200 hours for all I know) into the game by Magma Cavern. And I never did beat the game. Two years after acquiring it, when I was saving the game, out of the blue, japanese characters and nonsensical symbols started popping up in my text boxes. When I restarted the game, all save data had been damaged and my only option was to restart the game. I was not willing to let all those fond memories of me enjoying my first game fade into dust by starting my adventure all over again, so I stored my cartridge never to be touched again. I think this occurrence prompted my determination not to replay any games which weren't founded on the premise of replayability (such as The Binding of Isaac or Spelunky), for the first playthrough would be the only truly approached one (I know there's games which have progression/skill curves which are supposed go beyond the first playthrough such as the Bayonetta series, and games which can be tackled in different ways such as the Metroid series, but, even if this isn't the cause, I still can't bring myself to replay any of these games). That is, until I played and (almost) completed Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (I don't know if New Game Plus would count for this in the eyes of other people but it does in mine), even if I never finished the New Game Plus playthrough (there's so many other games to play, I suppose I'll finish it at some point just so I can genuinely say I 100% completed it, but I'm still halfway through Xenoblade Chronicles X - almost 100 hours in, can't say I'm not having a blast exploring Mira - and have the rest of the Xeno series waiting for me to play, among others).
    All this personal stuff aside, this game's story is, for my money, just as good if not better (whichever the case, they tackle to some degree different themes, I just find the ones in this game more compelling given the setting) than that of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky, which I often see being hailed as the indisputably (ever so slightly) better sequels. I'm not saying they aren't overall better, but I'm one who likes to highlight the aspects of a game within its series (for example, main character dynamics in Mother 1 when compared to EarthBound, a game which is very clearly inspired by its prequel).
    As for the combat, it's really simple. Some people may claim it isn't but, as far as I see it, there honestly is very little to it. And, in my eyes, it doesn't need to be any less simple. It's more about the survival (like you mentioned multiple times) than the combat alone. The only dumb stuff regarding this topic are broken moves such as multi-hit and full-room attacks, and the hardcore dungeons have always put me off.
    This game will always have a special place in my heart, and I'm very much ecstatic to see other people talk about it with so much love.

    • @KayJulers
      @KayJulers  4 роки тому +1

      I'm kind of torn since I think the story, themes, and gameplay of Sky are better, but I like how quickly Red Rescue Team gets you into the thick of it. After replaying them both recently, I might have to go with Sky.
