Minor changes that didn't make the video:

Awakened status of enemies: Doesn't add much, but isn't terrible either

Evolution Crystals as a new method of evolving: A rather interesting change. I didn't feel like evolving was difficult in the originals, so I am not entirely sure what the thought process behind this was. These evolution crystals are just as difficult to obtain as the evolution methods in the originals, so what's the point? Kinda on the fence about this one.

Even the post game is in order, instead of everything unlockable at the same time: Makes sense, this way they can introduce harder dungeons in a certain order. Kinda like this one.

Smeargle wants to avoid the sticky ritual opposed to the adult ritual in the originals: Apparently chunsoft discovered it wasn't the best idea to teach kids that becoming an adult is a bad thing. Funny how they decided to change this.

EDIT OKT 22ND: Hey if you're reading this, can you please tell me how you've found this video? It literally went from 5 views a day to 60-70 views a day in these past few weeks and I am really curious :)

Usually my reviews don't go over 20 minutes.... Guess I got really excited for this one. Still worth the watch though...


P.S. Once again, big shoutouts to Starchases and HGLuigi for the gameplay <3

Purple Kecleon isn't a shiny Kecleon. It's just a purple Kecleon. Kecleon's shiny looks different, but I wish it had the color of the one from this game

[misomie]

I used to hate you couldn't visit the friend areas but then I realized them upping the cap for pokemon in your camps would have made them incredibly crowded. The menu, old sprites, cute art, and remix music made up for it. I still miss it but I get it.

[negspirito]

While I disagree with you on the point of X-ray specs being broken, I agree that it was a bad move to give the player their effect by default in story dungeons

[JAProductions]

I think people are quick to hate on this as it’s A, a remake and B, their judging it on a demo which doesn’t show the game’s potential. This has the be one of the best remakes I’ve ever played as the original was still great but had quite a lot of problems, all of which were fixed. Plus the artstyle speaks for itself

[EvanFarshadow]

I hated the absurd decision to remove the A button attack, but then i realized just how common max ethers are in dungeons. I find more of them than anything else, even apples and oran berries and money.

[Andi-lkff]

PMD so worth the money. The art is great, game
Play is even better

[Azurryu]

I somehow missed that this game even got released, saw it on Amazon, purchased it, didn't touch it for an year, then started like the very first part of the game, didn't touch it for an year, and now I'm only left having to recruit Celebi within 2 weeks of playing it non stop after my work days lol.

[migs]

I hope Explorers of Sky gets a remake. Orrrr release a new PMD game with as much impact as Explorers of Sky. Bruh the story went really deep in my heart and stimulated my imagination when I first played it. I think some people don't handle feels well but to me, I'm glad I experienced such feels. Aaaanyways, all I can say about DX is that as a Switch game (from gameboy/DS), it's a wonderful upgrade (despite the losses). There is always room for improvement graphics-wise but hey, they captured the original's essence mostly. Even legendary battles (post game) may give you the surprise challenge once they whip out an Origin Pulse to-wipe-out-90%-of-your-team, IF you're not prepared at least. Y'know, the auto mode is handy in the Makuhita Dojo. Ehhh... I just hope these games are perfected further and not insist on new features (or missing ones) that are frowned upon by many. A balance is always needed.... hmm... what if they add an age question feature so that the settings for "hand-holding" will be adjusted depending on it? Dunno. I'll be quiet now haha =_=

[emiliotirado]

I’ve picked up the game again after a good few years of not playing, my God is it worth is lol I’m up to Ho-oh and Lugia and jirachci rn. I forgot how fun this game was.

[jackfish]

I refuse to belive this game already is 4 years old

[ingozebadisch]

Thank you so much for this video!

I have played the old games and wanted to know if the remake is worth my hard earned money. This was for sure the only review that told me everything I wanted to know.

Very nice work!

[munchrai]

Great video overall and I've been looking for something like this since the game came out. The controls aren't the best, but you can use the right shoulder button to mitigate a lot of the inaccuracy, which does remind me of the originals that relied on a Dpad instead of a control stick. Not the best work around, but it does make this game surprisingly resistant to Joycon drift when in handheld mode. One thing you forgot to mention is that Paralysis has been changed to allow you to move, but not use moves and it lasts way longer. Finally, the one really weird thing about the team maker templates in this game is that you can't set items to a Pokémon permanently like you can in Super Mystery Dungeon really discouraging you from making lots of teams though the ability to check your inventory before entering a dungeon mitigates this somewhat

[StarChases]

I'm glad I could contribute anything to your video. I agreed with pretty much all of your points aside from the mention of multiple traps in a row because I got hit with that very recently and I don't want to go through that again in a 99 floor dungeon. This game is a vast improvement over the originals and I hope it and your video will act as a gateway for some into the Pokemon side games which normally get pushed to a side because they aren't the main series eventhough they have better plot and more reason to be attached to them. Excellent job and great video :D Thank you for crediting me and I look forward to your future content!

[vinnamah]

The "favorite" mechanic in the friend areas just keeps that pokemon at the top of the list for that friend area. Normally it sorts in pokedex order, but "favorites" bypass that to stay at the top of the list. Can be sort-of useful if you have some friend areas full of pokemon, and also frequently-used teammates somewhere in the list. Digging through that list can get annoying.

[BENDER]

Thanks for the in depth review! I haven't been able to afford the game until now and I'm glad I've waited for the price to go down haha

The most exciting thing for me is that it will be easier to use new and different pokemon. In the original, which is my absolute fave PMD game, it was very hard for me to use a Pokémon I liked that wasn't a starter, partner or legendary. But I think in this game with the dojo tickets I can really make a dream team with whoever I want!

[HighLieBH]

Did you know you can turn on floor tiles in the settings so you can see Pokémon sizes, avoid colliding with walls, etc. you can also turn off the map. Other than that, I completely agree with this review. This game just made the right improvements to the old without those improvements feeling cheap.

Sure, I missed being able to use the universal tackle (a button). But the features that replaced it really make up for it, and give us that breath of fresh air.

DX made me fall in love with Mystery dungeon all over again, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

[pyguy]

Piplup is my favorite pokemon. I really wish the rescue team games, especially this new remake, had gen 4 pokemon added.

[gamingeatingtraveling]

this game is clean as hell, im 34 hours in. Ultra rank at the moment.

[Orrantia]

Hey, man. I totally forgot about the release of this game despite checking footage every now and then prior to it coming out. I had been doing the same thing for the last few days, contemplating whether to buy it or not. What actually made me uncertain about it was precisely what you critized at the beginning: everyone rushed their content about the game and most of them are people who have never played mystery dungeon games before, or those who have, did little to no effort at all elaborating on the differences from previous games and how things have changed in comparison with the originals. I want you to know that this video was exactly what I needed to make up my mind and I just ordered the game. Thanks a lot for the insight and all the spot on comments about the aspects you deemed most appropriate. Keep up the good work!
