And who hasn't ever wanted to be able to talk to their pets?īut folks, this is a talking point, and that means it's down to you. The games usually treat our cohort of pocket monsters as generic animals that are often cute, often cool, but never talkative - but in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, we get to learn about them as individuals. This leads to a story about actual Pokémon, allowing us the greatest insight into the creatures since the anime gave Pikachu a personality. The player, of course, is a human turned into a Pokémon, determined usually by a personality quiz, and has to work with other Pokémon to get back into their human body (and save the world along the way).
#BEST POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON GAME HOW TO#
Much like Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series are all isekai - a story centered around a character who gets transported into a new world (and a new body!), and has to figure out what happened and how to fix it. We only have one PMD game on Switch, and it was just a remake of the first game, and it wasn't very good, so I can see why Nintendo might be unwilling to invest so much time and energy into commissioning a new one from developer Spike Chunsoft - but you have to admit that the pitch behind the games is brilliant, and deserves more than just a second look. Maybe it's the list of spin-offs I recently wrote up, which reminded me just how many excellent/terrible Pokémon spin-offs exist out there, or maybe it's the fact that when I was writing my answer to the question " What Pokémon game should be the next basis for a Legends game?" my thoughts went immediately to Mystery Dungeon, before realising that, actually, I just wanted another Mystery Dungeon game.Įither way, that's the truth at the heart of the matter: I think Pokémon Mystery Dungeon needs to be pulled out of the Pokémon archive, dusted off, and given new life. I've been thinking a lot about Pokémon Mystery Dungeon recently.
