Well, as I'm the Co-Owner, I still feel like answering the question given. If I had to choose my favourite mystery dungeon game, that'd be Gates to Infinity. It's the game which really got me into the Mystery Dungeon games, and not to forget, the all mighty feature that is called 3D.

I really liked Gates to Infinity because of its design, and because of the 3D features. The pokemon I use the most is Trubbish. Yep, you read it correctly, it's Trubbish. I really dunno why I loved it so much, maybe it was because it looked so derpy.

What is your favourite Mystery Dungeon game?
My favorite is my first and only (so far) Mystery Dungeon game... Explorers of Sky! I love the selection of Pokemon you could have for your character and partner, the music, the cute and quirky characters, the good ol' pixel art, and all that other good stuff. I remember my first playthrough like it was yesterday... I was a Skitty and my partner was a Piplup.

hey, Lisia! it's great to see you here (＾ᴗ＾) welcome to the Explorers' Guild!
i agree, Explorers of Sky is also my favourite Mystery Dungeon game. it had a great story, and i loved the large selection of Pokémon you could play as. it also improved on several things that Rescue Team could have maybe done better. still, i have to say that if you enjoyed Sky, i definitely recommend to give Rescue Team a try, too!
what did you like most about the game? and did you ever play it again after your first playthrough? c:

Finally! :D

I want to join this, but I cant choose a Pokemon lmao. I honestly cant. I noticed you're creating team names. Maybe we could add a new team member after 40th post or something like that?

Anyway,

My application:

Username: Sven
Team name: Guardians
Pokemon species: I have no freakin idea! Poochyena? Eevee? Gastly...I dont know...I'll pick later.

My favorite game...Honestly...I am not sure. One thing I loved more about Red rescue team is a story. It was more emotional and made a bit more sense. But Wigglytuff's base is such a perfect place. It has everything one could want. And the story was just a bit under the Red rescue team's. I'll go with Pokemon Explorers of Darkness for now. I am going to start a new EO Sky run and it'll probably become my favorite then. Till then, it's Darkness. I could write a book why those games were perfect so I'll leave it at this. :D

Hey there Dedenne! As I did with the previous member, I'll be sure to contact the owner so you can be added. You can start discussing! :)

that's a good idea! i may implement that. still, i think everyone's a long way from reaching 40 posts for the time being, haha.
i gave you Poochyena for now, but i can change it any time if you want to change, ok? of course it'll keep the same level. c: that goes for everyone, by the way!

so, welcome, Sven and Dedenne! (i'm surprised you didn't pick Dedenne, haha).
i've noticed you both mention the story as your main reason for picking your favourites. i definitely think the storyline is one of the things that make the Mystery Dungeon series so great. still it's funny that you picked different games based on the same criterium!
what was the most memorable part of the story for you? put it in spoiler tags just to be sure (｡ ＞艸＜)

Oooh, mystery dungeon club! Also mimi why did you steal my DofE team name I'm going to kill you

Username: Foxrally
Pokémon Species: Zorua
Team Name: Rekkage Team of MLG

My favorite game is definitely explorers of Sky. I haven't completed it yet due to my game card becoming corrupted (still have the save file somehwhere though), but the game was real feels trip for me. I named and chose my partner after my brother, and had him do the test. He ended up with Panphy (which is a really good partner BTW) and I ended up with Chimchar :D

You are still not accepted. Read the rules again, and post your post, then maybe we'll consider it again. (you can't have an evolved pokemon for now)

God I love dong this to my brother. It's like he's worth nothing.

That's better! Accepted! Welcome. That's it, you don't get an extra welcome.

Thanks! Alright, leave it at that for now. I kinda prefer Pooch over Eevee anyway x)

I didnt like one particular part in EO Darkness that made me prefer the older versions. Main character knew all along he was going to disappear and he said nothing about it. Then in the middle of that bridge he started to vanish and the other guy panicked for maybe 10 seconds and few moments later if was all "Oh I guess thats how it should be". Kinda unrealistic, at least compared to the first story. That particular part kinda bugged me and gave it the second place, story-wise.

Firstly thanks for the welcome!
Secondly i think its a good idea to allow an extra member to join your team but id only keep it up to 2 and idk howd they reach it haha. But anyways thanks again and
Thats always a surprise that i dont pick dedenne haha. But i love Emolga! Its in my favs and such Dedenne is also stuck in my username forever haha
Anyways spoilers.....

Spoiler:

My fav Part of Explorers of time was when they went to the future the storyline and crazy pokes there was really memorable! And i really like the cool destroyed future and everything ️unmoving! Although i still dont like Sableye for them being on the bad side and being quite the scray hunters heheh. Also meeting Primal Dialga was something but it took forever to beat him!

What is your favourite Mystery Dungeon game?
That would definitely have to be Explorers of Sky. Not only did it have a massive amount of (engaging) content, but the plot writing was absolutely beautiful. I've already played through it about three times, and the game just never gets old. (I also love the wide variety of starters you can choose from as well!)

Aaand, despite loving the Explorers titles so much, I also adore Red Rescue Team with a passion. While it didn't have as much to offer as its successor, it still possessed the same engaging gameplay, and it'll always have a special place in my heart. Unfortunately, I have yet to play Gates to Infinity, but I'll try to fix that eventually!

(I would also like to point out that my avatar is from Red & Blue Rescue Team, haha.)

aah, i definitely know what you mean c: i also think the first story was maybe a bit more 'realistic'... as far as that's possible given the setting. and i thought it was a bit more endearing as well. while the story in Explorers was a lot more full of suspense and twists and wow! i think that way it also made more of an impression on most players. but i'm currently replaying Red Rescue Team (to restore my old team to its former glory!) and i have to say i'm touched by the little moments every single time (｡ ＞艸＜)
i'm also going to add the second-team member rule to the main post, now that i've had a little time to think about it, haha. thanks again for the suggestion!

of course, emolga is adorable as well! c: if you ever get the urge to switch, please don't hesitate to let me know. in response to your spoilered mentions...

Spoiler:

i definitely agree that the distorted future was a great place to visit. even before playing the game, i loved Sableye for being... kind of evil-but-cute? because of its goofy smile, mostly based on its anime counterpart. but Explorers definitely changed my opinion - they can be vicious hunters if need be!

Everything you said

welcome, Revise Librarian! i think i've seen you around before, and your Rescue Team avatar always stood out to me indeed c: it's great to have such a dedicated Mystery Dungeon fan on board. i also haven't played Gates to Infinity yet, but i plan on changing that soon as well! for the time being, what was your favourite feature in Explorers?

also everyone, don't hesitate to reply to each other's posts either, ok? if anything catches your eye, don't be shy! c:

Thanks! =D This is actually the first Pokémon club that I've ever joined, so I apologize in advance if I make any weird mistakes. xD

Hmm... tough one. I'm not exactly sure if this counts as an actual "feature," but I definitely like the gameplay mechanics above the rest! As for features exclusive to the Explorers titles, I really like how you can recruit any Pokémon right off the bat without Friend Areas. Oh, and I can't forget the super giant Treasure Bags later in the game! (Gotta love those, haha.)

I'm glad you like my suggestion! :D

I think that the main factor about the Darkness/Time/Sky is, the bonds you make, and about that Guild. I still remember walking around that Guild, reading diaries, having that freaking awesome dinners. All the characters were all soooo amazingly built in details. The family surroundings really made the game awesome. The only reason why I stopped playing Darkness cos I finally got Sky and want it to be as fresh as possible. But once Im finish it...I'll keep going back to it and I'll basically never "finish" it! On the other hand, I dont "finish" any Pokemon game, I love going back to all of them.
