my 2nd pokemon mystery dungeon game i've played ever with explorers of sky being my 1st introduction to the spinoff series as a kid and I am very happy to say it still is just as deceptively challenging as ever. it looks like it would easier, but even with all the new qol stuff and mechanics from other pmd games added it is still a good, challenging game as ever. while the story didn't impress me as much as sky did i LOVE the gameplay as ever with the pmd spinoff series so I can overlook the plot. by the time im writing this review i'll definitely be doing the post game cause I missed out on sky's postgame as a kid. overall pmd still got it and i hope the success of this game gets us a pmd 2 remake and a new game (copium)
