Did You Ever Get Emotional in Mystery Dungeon?

I just finished Explorers Of Sky, and I must say - yes, the ending did make me cry.
Actually, the whole finale (after Grovyle tells you what will happen) felt really heartwrenching. And then the ending... God, I couldn't help but shed some tears.
This just shows how good the Mystery Dungeon games are. They make you go through characters' emotions and feelings and really immerse you into their world.

not really although i do like grovyle's special episode where it explains what happened to them because in darkness in time i was so confused. like "did they fade out of existence or something"? but sky explained it.

I've only played Sky myself, but yes I did cry at the end of the storyline of Sky. And speaking of that game I should get back to it sometime.

If you didn't shed a tear during the PMD playthroughs, then you are not human.
PMD was one of the first games where you had a real emotional link with the Pokemon world, and when you had to disappear at the end of the main storyline, I thought that was it and wept away.

(It did slightly annoy me however, when everyone else was crying and Xatu was just standing there trying to act all manly, in my opinion to impress Kangashan ;D).

Not at all. Mainly because I don't really cry during video-games or fell much at all. It's different with TV though.

I have to say, the one time I have ever felt heart-break in a video game was at the tear-jerking end to PMD: EOT. But then it all got better.

Jeez, I was sobbing through pretty much the entire story of PMD2.
Definitely the most emotion in a Pokemon game ever. Props to the development team for making the only video game I've ever felt truly emotional about.

Oh, yes. When I played the first one, I got that lump in my throat, but during the end sequence of Explorers of Darkness, I started bawling. I think it was the combination of the music and the fact that I had just moved away from my friends in Ohio that caused the tears. Dat Music...

Probably the first time ever I actually felt emotional during the game was during PMD1(red)
The end was really sad and then it ended really happily so yeah. On the other hand, as much as the PMD2(darkness) touched me, it didn't have the same effect, yes it was sad, but it was completely different. The first part was sad, everyone knew what was coming, and what was going to happen, everyone were together, sad etc. while
(SPOILER ALERT)
in the PMD2 the most emotional part was supposed to be be when player vanishes, and when everyone finds out about it. I didn't like the way they did it very much, I mean, the player and it's partner are walking on the flying stone bridge (bad place for climax, no?) and the player is literally like
Player: "partner,btw I didnt tell you I am about to disappear"
Partner:"Oh, no but I cant go on on my own, oh well"
*Poof* he disappears
And even worse, instead of showing the scene where everyone finds out what happened with player, the narrator just narrated it.

I expected at least to read something about it in those diaries of Sunflora and Bidoof, but nothing.
But the scene with crying Pikachu and Dialga restoring player was touching tho.

There, my complete opinion :D (I got a bit offtopic, sry ^^)
:D

The PMD series never really worked me up emotionally. They do have great storylines but I just can't get that emotionally engaged in a Pokemon game, lol.
