Information taken from this brand book, I highly recommend it if you want to see the visuals! Makes me wish I could purchase a real copy.

rescue team is easily the most boring one and before the remake it was the most tedious one to play in my experience which makes me very happy it got a remake that improved its awful gameplay. now im not fucked when my teammate is on lowhealth

as much as i love it i dont think we need an explorers of sky remake, at least not yet. some quality of life improvements would be nice like how attacks work in the 3d games, but i feel like it hasnt aged poorly at all and is still a wonderful experience. i also feel like youll inherently lose some charm once the change from pixels to 3d models is made (and theyd HAVE to change grovyles portrait oh my god its so boring) id still buy it and play it and id die if new merch happened because of it, plus kids getting an opportunity to play one of the best pokemon games, but overall? i can wait

explorers of sky’s postgame is kinda spotty imo. theres some REALLY good stuff like blizzard island and manaphy, but theres also stuff like aegis cave and its where the unwashed asscrack darkrai’s plotline comes in so i dont really do the postgame sometimes when i replay it. also the partner not talking as much... i just feel like postgame isnt as strong as the main game. also darkrai sucks. a lot. 

gates to infinity was good yall are just mean. i didnt care for the paradise mechanic nor did i like how missions were centered on it, but the story made up for it in spades. the message is basically “you should still strive to make a change in the world for the sake of not only yourself but for others and the next generation, and saying “life is unfair get over it” or “thats just how people are” is a useless slogan that not only normalizes that but makes things even worse” as well as having a wonderful message about positivity and depression and its just. im a little bitter the whole “strive to make the world a better place” is only attached to psmd and this game gets disregarded entirely despite psmd only really digging into the message in its third act while gates spend so much time building up and making the message worth it. psmd does an ok job at it but gates needs more credit

psmd is also like. okay. i really wish they had just picked a plotline and stuck with it rather than go with sooooo much stuff at once like the school and the expedition society and the stones and the sun and dark matter and allll the characters. i really wouldve liked to spend the whole game with the schoolkids, i love how espurr gets a starring role and comes back later on but i really wish the other kids couldve gotten a chance too when we spent so much time with them and then get into their chemistry now that all of them are on better terms with the partner rather than ditch them soon after that happens. also i dont like nuzleaf. not in the “oh he betrayed me im playfully bitter at this video game character” like i actually do not care for his writing. i feel like a lot of his character hinges on that plot twist bc really carracosta felt more like a dad to hero than he ever did imo. partner is way better and i wish they sorta had the attention that he has. also the fanbase likes to do that thing with him where they power him up and power hero down so he can have protective father moments where he saves them against a boss that they would have absolutely no problem with in canon and i really hate that in fandom so that could be part of why i just dont care for him. its the same reason i dont care for meta knight over in kirby lol.

paragraph break but psmd’s tone is actually extremely good, its the funniest pmd game by far and when it wants you to feel something you feel it hard and personal. the third act slams hard even if i personally feel like its cluttered, i dont really feel that way when im actually playing through that segment (not in the dark matter scenes tho im sorry but kirby’s version spoiled me) and the music is phenomenal and i love all the little callbacks and how gliscor is guaranteed to me bc of the connection orb mechanics. this is mostly just to say im nuanced on psmd i dont hate the game or even dislike it i just reallyyy wish it couldve been better. i love to replay it though and i love my team (jay the froakie and mimi the chimchar) so thats what really matters i think
