idk if you plan on making more PMD Sky content at some point in the future, but a pretty huge error you made in here is that you DON'T need to make a pokemon hold Croagunk items to get their effects. You get the benefits just by having them chillin' out in the toolbox. If you had been able to get a Glee Scarf or a Guard Collar, that would have done WONDERS for you (Fighting moves heal instead of dealing damage on your specific members - Munchlax/Snorlax or Skitty/Delcatty)
@@SaintoftheHonest My knowledge of the Croagunk items is basically 0 XD I personally never used them when casually playing through the games cause they were too big brain for me That's a really good note for me going forward! I've got some ideas for challenge ideas that could be done in PMD Sky, and this helps A LOT, thank you!
The dialogue has slight variations depending on what species hero/partner are. So the "be the bravest ever!" And "Use all your courage" is just one example of partner pokemon's dialogue changing slightly because of species difference
I think you were a bit harsh with your rule about items in this challenge. They serve a different role in the PMD series than the main series games so I think the rules around them in PMD challenges should be different from challenge runs in the main series games. I believe this challenge run would still have been just as meaningful if you had only banned thrown items that inflict damage on enemies
Looking back on it, I think I agree with you My goal was to make it a "purely metronome" run, or as close as I could get, but you're right that items are completely different here vs main series I'm also the type of person that will gladly make things excessively complicated for myself 😂
Considering you have a bad time taking on Temporal Tower without being at least level 40 on a regular playthrough, the fact that you grinded out Primal Dialga at level 38 for this playthrough is absolute insanity.
@@ahdurinregion the voice definitely sounds forced for subscribe but I actually kind of liked it! (this is a bit late I realize lol but hope you are doing well.)
MDB is a legend, and these challenges are partly inspired by his! I actually used his "how to do challenge videos" playlist to make this challenge, though I've developed my own sorta style over time that's built more on my strengths. Still use his editing techniques though
As an incredibly amateur voice actor myself, I can definitely say that your voice acting was fantastic! I'm glad RUclips randomly decided to recommend this video to me.
Glad I found this, it was very entertaining to watch while I took today off of work being sick. Thanks for doing this, it definitely brought back some good memories of the game!
Hello everyone! I hope you enjoy this video! This took me about a month, so if you could leave a like, subscribe, and share the video, I would REALLY appreciate it! It may not seem like much, but it would mean the world to me! Also, feel free to speed up the video if that helps! The links and stuff you want are below, if you're interested!

1:31:41 Subscribe… even after I disappear from here… I will never forget you… Has to be the most heartfelt ask for a sub moments I have ever heard in my life.
I know this vid is already 2 years old but the color of the bow you get from that aura thing is dependent on what your selected favorite color on the DS is when you play that segment of the game.
Definitely an underrated youtuber! 💙 Great video, and an interesting challenge done correctly! I still have 1 hour and 30 minutes left to watch, but just wanted to make sure to leave a comment! 💙 Keep it up, subscribed!
1:08:50 you can actually go past the point you lose Grovile and you can go back to the town and the guild. There is actually some dialogue from everyone about Grovile’s death and how you should hurry and get back. …So you can go back BUT you have to trek allllll the way back to where you where.
I did this by accident in my most recent playthrough, and I was so startled by the comments about Grovyle’s death! Lapras’s especially broke my heart. I kind of wish I had gotten it on camera. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who’s done it. And had to go through the Hidden Highlands all over again. 😅
With Amp Plains the boss there in Time and Darkness was a Luxray and sone Luxios I'm guessing they changed the boss in Sky was because you can play as a Shinx in Sky
Hay look I've found someone who dose pokemon mystery dungeon challenges I like pokemon mystery dungeon so I shall subscribe to the channel and hope that the roomers about some pokemon mystery dungeon stuff being announced on pokemon day is true
shoutout the mystery dungeon fans If the rumors are real, I might be just non-stop posting videos about it XD (key word might, I'm terrible at sticking to a schedule)
I know this is 2 years after the fact, and I haven't see a bunch of your recent stuff, but it may be a good idea to give a bit of a warning when there's super fast flashing dialogue boxes like when you're going through story Edit: more specifically, just say "hey there's gonna be some flashing bits on screen, just a warning"
Yeah, I remember noting that and trying to edit around it, but it's probably a good idea to add a note about that Do you have specific timestamps, or is this throughout the video? If there's only a couple of spots, I can add them to the title/description and hopefully help that way?
I haven't done a formal series on the channel yet, but maybe once other series are done, I'll do a nostalgia run of the game or something! *I stare at the incomplete Pokemon Violet run that's got a bunch of episodes just waiting to be uploaded*
I used SkyTemple and made the learnset solely Metronome, if I remember correctly. Theoretically, if we met any other Skittys or Munchlaxs, then they'd be using Metronome too, but the starters don't show up in the plot
Oof, I'd have to check back in the program, haven't used it since this challenge cause I haven't needed to yet If you've got the program though, trial and error never hurt anyone lol
Some of the major features exclusive to Sky include the Spinda Cafe, Secret Bazaar, 5 different Special Episodes that help to expand upon certain parts of the lore (such as Wigglytuff’s origins and what happened after Grovyle and Dusknoir returned to the future after the events at the Hidden Land), and your list of picks for hero and partner is slightly expanded to include the likes of Riolu, Shinx, Phanphy, Vulpix, and I believe Eevee was added as well. A few of the more minor features include the entirety of Shaymin Village (including the dungeon and Sky Gifts), the Sky Jukebox in case you wanted to listen to the soundtrack from the main menu, the bottles found on the beach containing job requests, and I believe you get a few new dungeons such as Destiny Tower and even the ability to pursue the 7 World Treasures without the need of an internet connection or whatever.
@@garbagelord4374 wow that's a lot of quality of life improvements. Not much changed at all with the main plot of the game which kind of surprised me! I'm gonna have to play through this one!!
How old are the explorer games again? oh sky is 2009. What year is it now? 2023? How old does it make this game? 14 years? Spoiling a 14 years old game is fine.
@@ahdurinregion i didnt like the empty parts only real feedback i have i was using it mostly for audio in BG to sometimes glance at, keep making mystery dungeon content so we can domino effect an eventual PMD1 remake DX for Skies/Time/Darkness or perhaps a new game entirely

Or maybe using only items that you find in the dungeon that you entered
@@ahdurinregionthat’s why you make good content haha 👌
6:55 is a peak MDB moment, I love it
I can't believe you've been doing this for two whole years and I've only found you just now. I really hate the youtube algorithm.
XD I appreciate the kinds words!
As for the algorithm, better late than never!
Considering you have a bad time taking on Temporal Tower without being at least level 40 on a regular playthrough, the fact that you grinded out Primal Dialga at level 38 for this playthrough is absolute insanity.
just discovered your videos and i am absolutely blown away! great work!!
Wow, thank you! Thanks for joining the Ahdurin Region community!
This was really fun to watch! Loved the commentary and the little comments during the montage.
The voice acting was also real good! :)
I appreciate it! Means a lot! Glad you enjoyed!
Also, that's a lie about the voice acting 😂 I refuse to believe it's any good lol
@@ahdurinregion the voice definitely sounds forced for subscribe but I actually kind of liked it! (this is a bit late I realize lol but hope you are doing well.)
This is such huge Dry Bread vibes. GG though i like seeing this challenge implemented in mystery dungeon
MDB is a legend, and these challenges are partly inspired by his!
I actually used his "how to do challenge videos" playlist to make this challenge, though I've developed my own sorta style over time that's built more on my strengths. Still use his editing techniques though
@@ahdurinregion I knew you were an MDB fan the moment you said the phrase ending in “comments are good for the RUclips algorithm”
As an incredibly amateur voice actor myself, I can definitely say that your voice acting was fantastic! I'm glad RUclips randomly decided to recommend this video to me.
@GamerZone Speaking 💀
Finally the holy grail of high quality PMD content. Hope there is more to come, I for one am here to stay
Glad I found this, it was very entertaining to watch while I took today off of work being sick. Thanks for doing this, it definitely brought back some good memories of the game!
Appreciate you watching!
Fun fact if you continue to lose the second dungeon, eventually wigglytuff gives you some really good items, like a reviver seed.
I tried so hard to take the last cutscene seriously, but the name Subscribe kept making me laugh.
Please don't take it serious XD
I don't regret doing it, I'm just mad cause I could do it better now lol
Wow! You must have spent forever on this. Glad the algorithm blessed me with this video! Subscribed.
Edit: love the mdb references!!
Glad to see mystery dungeon challenges :)
This was such a fun video! I never would have thought of doing this kind of challenge. Thanks for sharing this with us!

what an interesting 1 frame of the thumbnail at 1:29:41 lol
great video! very enticing :D
Imma be honest, got no idea why that's there lol

Has to be the most heartfelt ask for a sub moments I have ever heard in my life.
Loved this vid! I love the mystery dungeon games and recently finished Super Mystery Dungeon, it's fun to see more challenge vids for spinoff games ^^
Mahdrybread, is that you?
you could also do an assist only challenge, which limits your move pool to the collective moves on the floor
I know this vid is already 2 years old but the color of the bow you get from that aura thing is dependent on what your selected favorite color on the DS is when you play that segment of the game.

wait but... which bow did you get though?

The voice acting was not terrible, and considering this is one of the best games of all time it moved me.
Also your voice acting made me love skitty
Great concept!
Wish the announced a new PMD today lol fire run hommie
Every time he says subscribe I very briefly think the video is about to end. Every. Time. 😂
New video idea: "this video ends when I say subscribe" and I use every word but subscribe lol
I know this would be awful but I would LOVE to see the post game end battle with metronome only
What color ribbon did you get? PMD was such a great series
Hay look I've found someone who dose pokemon mystery dungeon challenges I like pokemon mystery dungeon so I shall subscribe to the channel and hope that the roomers about some pokemon mystery dungeon stuff being announced on pokemon day is true

Incase nobody has caught on, legendarys and mythicals are more a species. theres more than one of all of them. some uxie are he and some are she.
I know this is 2 years after the fact, and I haven't see a bunch of your recent stuff, but it may be a good idea to give a bit of a warning when there's super fast flashing dialogue boxes like when you're going through story

Do you have specific timestamps, or is this throughout the video? If there's only a couple of spots, I can add them to the title/description and hopefully help that way?
I'm pretty sure the dialogue is slightly different depending if your partner is a male or female
This sounds wayyy too hard. Im gonna try it. Lol
Great video BUT WHAT WAS THE SECRET YOU WERE GONNA SAY???
Do you have a timestamp for when I said this XD
Who knows if I even remember what it could be anymore lol
@@ahdurinregion During the Dusknoir+Dialga montages you said you would tell a secret in the box on the right, just before 1:29:00
You mentioned doing a series of this game but i cant find it anywhere on your channel. did it not work out? :(
I haven't done a formal series on the channel yet, but maybe once other series are done, I'll do a nostalgia run of the game or something!
*I stare at the incomplete Pokemon Violet run that's got a bunch of episodes just waiting to be uploaded*
How did you change the code so Metronome was the only move on deSmuME? Is there a tutorial?
I used SkyTemple and made the learnset solely Metronome, if I remember correctly. Theoretically, if we met any other Skittys or Munchlaxs, then they'd be using Metronome too, but the starters don't show up in the plot
@@ahdurinregion How did you make SkyTemple do that?
Oof, I'd have to check back in the program, haven't used it since this challenge cause I haven't needed to yet
If you've got the program though, trial and error never hurt anyone lol
@@ahdurinregion Don’t have it. Gotta figure out what to do haha
everyone getting this recommended now huh
So what are the main differences between explorers of sky versus its predecessors explorers of darkness and time?

nice
Appreciate it!

You're cringe, but in a cute kinda way. Also good video btw
Always need a healthy amount of cringe in the day to day life
