I've passed through a lot, played a lot NieR: Automata Final Fantasy Skyrim Battlefield ... But this game is the only one i'll carry forever It's my childhood My dearest friend, a amazing pal, amazing adventures It was the hardest goodbye i ever said Charon, we had good times forever Even though i'm not that small Riolu you knew, i still carry our story forward Our exploration team will forever carry on I will never forget
played this like for the first time 10 years ago, after that i forgot that the game even existed. just recently replayed it and became instantly one of my alltime favorite games
"Eventually the day will come where I won't be here anymore. Since that's the case, the timing of it doesn't matter. The important thing is not how long you live... it's what you accomplish with your life." - Grovyle
you could handle anything. you could face your fears, inspire your friend, solve mysteries, catch outlaws. you could save people, you could help people, you could make people smile. you could face down the god of time and not bat an eye. but you can never be ready to say goodbye.
I listen to this song a lot, waiting for the day I get to play this game and experience what everyone else did so long ago. This comment hits me hard everytime, making me sad and excited for the game at the same time. It's a strange mix of feelings that gives me the chills. This comment hits hard because of the goodbye part, knowing that eventually, we will lose everybody we love, but the other parts make me excited, it makes me think "is that what you really do in the game?" This just goes to show, despite just being pixels, video games can change people, inspire people, make people happy, and most importantly, make people sad.
I just graduated high school. I lost my best friend to suicide in the fall. This song reminds me of him, and I'll never forget the memories we had, even if they may fade. I miss and love you so fucking much.
I remember how much younger me was so shocked that was the ending of the story. It was not until a few years later that I heard about the after-credits scene and entirely new storyline, and I cannot say how excited I was to hear that! This always reminds me of how everything should not be kept for granted, and you should always keep track of friends and all you hold dear. My friends are everything to me, and I believe it is from this game I learned to appreciate it.
I was actually so shocked that i kept playing refusing this game to end. I was so happy when the story kept going and by that i was able to somehow put this game out of my hands again. True masterpiece!
dude if you really want to hear a song that makes you want to hold on to the friends you've got now for dear life you should hear Smiles And Tears from Earthbound and know the context of it
One of the reasons this moment is so powerful is because you the player actually speak and have a conversation. No picking from text boxes, no one repeating what you said for dialogue convenience. Just telling your best friend goodbye, and thanking them for all the wonderful memories.
I completely freaked out when my Charmander actually spoke in text ;-; It made me want to cry all the more because it's such a meaningful moment for both you and your partner Pokémon
I distinctly remember when I was playing this game blind with a friend who grew up with it, I joking said after one of our sessions in our Discord DMs that I wished that the protagonist spoke. My friend then pinned it, refusing to elaborate. The very next day, I got to this point. Seeing my character speak to the partner broke me into pieces. This is the only game to make me actually cry because of the story (and not from any emotional attachment or nostalgia). Not even my favorite game of all time has. This game is fantastic.
What makes things even sadder is that when your partner leaves Temporal Tower, they force themselves to be strong and to without tear retell their story to make sure nothing as horrible as the destruction of space and time ever happens again. They have to bottle up their emotions for three months until Bidoof finds them crying at the beach. ...Can I please have a tissue?
@@MountainMemelord I disagree,they are still going well.I mean at least the switch is doing much better than the wii u.Yeah,I don't like of many of its financial decisions like the online switch for example but compared to Sony with the scarcity of Ps5 to buy, and without many new games as the crowd expected and the xbox that after a good 2021 had a very scarce 2022 of first games party, even with the mistakes Nintendo is doing well with the switch, which I still consider one of the best consoles ever made... and now that we've had a remake of po kemonblue/red team, a remake of pmd:explorers of sky would make me extremely happy.
This has to be the most real moment ever in a video game. Throughout the whole game you feel the bond between you and your partner just for it to end on such a sad note. I know they reunite, but god this scene breaks my heart. My poor Skitty partner ;-;
ɓlαҡε That’s what Super messes up. The partner is ANNOYING. Obnoxiously so. And it really doesn’t get much better. So the goodbye isn’t as emotional. It was, for me, kinda a relief.
Yuusha Blues What? It’s true. I didn’t like super. I felt they approached the partner wrong, and the emera gimmick made a lot of dungeons luck based if you couldn’t get the right ones. And by the way, I didn’t just not like the goodbye because I was expecting one. Because after not playing the originals, DX made me very emotional.
@@dreeg1896 I expected the goodbye in both RTDX and EOS and it still made me sad, and I've heard the other PMD games aren't really good... I can't wait for EOSDX.
Thats such an emotional gut punch of a line. Also the unique crying portrait that is not used anywhere else in the game, other than two times during the ending sequence. I was so close to getting through the ending without crying my first playthrough. But what eventually broke me was the flashbacks on the beach. Like the whole part where the partner seemingly had moved on, months after the player disappeared, only to go to the beach during sunset and have all the memories of the protagonist flood back. That was so heartbreaking for me.
Greenstar the Mono-Emperor That's my interpretation as well. Considering you and your partner's dialogue at this point, it's reasonable to think there was a romantic element to their relationship.
I remember as a young kid, I couldn't ever finish Explorers of Time because when I got to this point I'd always end up bawling my eyes out and resetting my save file, so that I could relive those happy memories with my partner. I was a little older when Explorers of Sky came out, so I told myself I would finally brave through the tears and finish the game. Even all these years later this song sticks with me and I get emotional, both because of the story itself and the fact that it affected me so much as a kid. I wish Pokemon games still had storytelling like this. It felt like there was so much effort put into immersing you in the world of Pokemon and its characters. I still highly value story as one of the key aspects of what makes a game "good" because those memories have stuck with me all these years.
you say "Pokemon games still had storytelling like this" as if the mainline games has good stories. the story is nearly always: beat gym, fight rival, bad guys do something bad, beat them, become champion. the spin offs had good stories
@@somerandomguy-3102I think the older games were really good, but the only generations that even _ATTEMPTED_ to have engaging stories were 5 and 7. I think 5 did a relatively ok job, but the pacing in 7 was so bad that I just couldn't take the story seriously. I think I could call only Gen 5 a proper JRPG, but its still pretty messy.
Pokémon will always hold a special place in my heart. It was the foundation of who I am today. And I cant thank Satoshi Tajiri enough for creating the world of Pokémon. I really wish he knew how much it changed my life for the better...
This is the only game to ever make me truly cry, I remember being a 5 year old in blockbuster just bawling my eyes out at the credits scene after spending the car ride and like 20 minutes in the store trying to finish the game, and then all the emotions I felt seeing what happened afterwards, this game and this song is one the main things that’s fueled my lifelong love for all things Pokémon. This’ll probably be lost in the sea of comments but it just feels good to talk about everything this game and this piece of music has done for me, the impact it’s had on my life.
same, and i tend to give that credit to the music in the moment. i tear up even by hearing it while im not playing just because i remember the scene unfolding arata iiyoshi is a spectacular composer
I’m a part of the video game ensemble at Appalachian State University. This semester, we’re covering multiple tracks from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, explorers of sky (this one is included). And as you can probably tell by my profile pic, I play piano. Plus the piano arrangement on this piece is really beautiful.
To anyone still listen to this in 2020: Endless respect from my heart Edit: It's 2021 now and you still come here, more respect Edit 2: It's 2022 now, we won't ever forget Edit 3: 2023. Still going, ladies and gentlemen!
The first and still one of the few moments I've ever cried to a video game. The story in this game is amazing. This tune just makes it so much better. The emotions enhanced by this music are perfect.
I first played a Mystery Dungeon game when I was about 8. I never finished RRT, but with how poorly I comprehended the fugitives arc, I don't think I would've been that phased by the ending. After growing up a little, I played PSMD start to finish at 16 and it absolutely ruined me. I _just_ finished playing Explorers of Sky, at 23, and I'm still recovering from it.
This game made me cry for the following reasons: 1.) The main story/plot is beautiful and is a masterpiece that made me cry 2.) All of the game's characters were all so unique. You can really feel bond u have with you're partner and friends 3.)Grovyle. He was my favorite character second to my partner. His sacrifice made me cry 4.)How the game makes u feel special and gives u lessons u won't ever forget😢
I'm genuinely not one to cry with anything really, something has to be like DAAAAAMN emotional for me to cry over it. I lost count of how many times I cried to this
From now on whenever I feel angry, stressed, to proud or happy about something and need an emotional restart, or I just wanna kick my heart in the D$#& with a steel toed boot and get sad I'll play this.
Remember that boot from Spongebob's movie? I'd say you kick your heart in the d*** with that, just a steel boot doesn't represent enought sadness for such a song.
@@jacksonlague7304Well it was over 4 years ago so I can't really say with certainty but I'm like 80% sure it was an edgy high schooler making a shitty 9/11 joke
Listen to this whenever you lose someone. Why would you listen to this when you lose someone? Now you're never gonna stop crying. I can't beat this game without crying despite playing it more than 5 times over.
I never thought 1 day in my life I will cry over a pokemon game and this one did at the exact moment this song played ,even now 10 years later i'm getting emotional over the song over the moment ,this game is such a masterpiece
I've cried at the end of quite a few games. Wind Waker, nostalgic. Heartgold, great remake. This game? Freaking masterpiece. I felt every feel the game put me through. I felt like i was actually leaving a friend when i started to dissipate... This game has made a special place in my heart that no other game could provide.
I just finished Explorers of Sky DS for the first time this evening. I’m not an emotional guy, or at least I don’t get very emotional over movies or games, but this, this one got me not just emotional, but in tears, a great ending to a great game.
@Hioozuma More than many movies,series or Adult's games?YES! And that's not all!This ending made me cry,but the ending of world of darkness with Grovyle?!!Made a fucking waterfall come out of my eyes.🤣🤣 Seriously, I cried a lot, a lot. The story of this game is incredible.
I nearly cried on this one. This is one song i had a deep conection with. I had depression like some months ago like 6 months and it was really hard to express my feeling even to myself and especially to others but this song made the impossible possible. Everytime i heard this song i went to my couch, hid below it and started crying not just tears but whole waterfalls of water went out of my eyes. This was the was i handled my depression. And it helped, my situation still got worse but without this song it may have been unstopable. This song hits this right deep into my heart because this combination of this nostalgic feeling with the combination of the instruments just was a wonder for me. Nowadays i have won the fight against my depression, found out a way of handling my problems and just dont cry because of my problems i have and how my live is shitty as fuck when i hear this song but crying because remembering of this time I played this game and the sad situation accured at the end of the cutscene. What i want to say, dear reader who reads this. Don’t run from your problems, fight against them and find a way to know how to handle those. You will find a way out of your depressed circumstances and then enjoy your life as I do. Cheers
this was the only game ever to make me cry like that. i was already bawling when we were revealed to be grovyles partner, and when he was gone. now this was the BREAKING POINT. i was genuinely like wailing, like mourning. i will never forget this game, and it taught me many things in life. this game is truly a masterpiece, and deserves to be remade on the switch, or the next nintendo console.
I got PMD Explorers of Sky for my birthday and when that moment came when I heard the melody from Dont Ever Forget, tears came to my eyes. To this day, this OST gets me a masterpiece and I'm looking forward to a good remake of this OST in the future in a remake of Explorers of Time/Darkness or Sky
@@xXChickyChuXx dont tell me your part of the people who could ruin someone experience of the game be trying giving him 100 tip on how to play or spoil the game
@@dragondesabysse2258 I honestly have no idea what my original comment was about. I wouldn't give too many tips on how to breeze through the game, or spoil the story in any way. The game is great, and I wouldn't take away from that. If I was to guess, maybe my original comment was directed at people like the IGN reviewers.
"Lets make some 10 year olds cry" "Sir, we made it a bit too powerful it might make all ages cry" "That includes 10 year olds?" "Yes sir" "Then keep it the way it is"
not seeing your characters dialogue displayed throughout the game and this being the first time you do...and it being an emotional speech about your partner and how much you've enjoyed your time with them...makes me even more emotional oh man 😭😭
You'll always be ready for an adventure, But you can never be ready to part ways and say goodbye to someone you cherished,laugh and cry with,who meant the world to you,who meant everything to you,who will always be there for you when no one else could and who you go on great adventures with
Every. Single. Playthrough. I cry at this part every single time. This music hooks deep into your emotions and drags them to the surface and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
I think the music can fit every game because you may not want to stop playing but you have seen everything you saved everyone so now there is no reason for you to stay you have other games/realities to save you have to go even if you don’t want to…
i'm turning 30 this year and i legitimately cried stumbling upon this. memories of playing this game when i was 15 came back to me and hit me like a truck. truly an amazing game
This is the first and last pokemon game that's ever made me cry. Even as an adult I'll bawl my eyes out. A masterpiece of a game that I don't think will ever be able to be recreated
Replaying this game years and years after I originally did, at almost 30 years old, I wondered if the ending would hit me as hard as it did when I was young. Yeah, I was not ready for it. God DAMN.
To be fair, the gameplay fucking sucks. It's so RNG based and is often way more frustrating then fun. My playthrough was so unfair and unbearablely hard that I eventually had to resort to cheat codes to even beat the damn thing.
@@AUniqueusernamel3626and another thing, it’s based off of Explorers of Time and Darkness, games that they likely already reviewed, and since they didn’t play the special episodes, this is just the same game for the third time to them.
Here are some lyrics: In the past, you may have lost a friend, and somehow, your tears are locked away, Even if you try to cry out loud, as you look at the experiences that you... Don't ever forget... (instrumental)
The first and to this day only series to ever make me cry. Mystery Dungeon is by far my favorite Pokémon spinoff series, Explorers of Sky is my second favorite Pokémon game just behind Omega Ruby, and I took this song to heart, no way in hell I'm gonna forget one of the most wonderful, beautiful, magical video game journeys I've ever gone on. As of right now Rescue Team DX is the most important Pokémon games to me because it marked 2 very important things, it marked this series' miraculous return on the scene, and it made Mystery Dungeon the first ever Pokémon spinoff to get a remake (and a damn faithful one at that, eat your heart out BDSP). Really shows that no matter how mid the mainline games get, even The Pokémon Company themselves love this series just about as much as the fans. Here's hoping they also Don't Ever Forget and keep these masterpieces going with as much love and dedication as they've been putting into it since the beginning.
For anyone that loves this series (and hasn't played or looked up the games since a long tine) and the Grovyle / Dusknoir Arc i recommend the special episode 0 rom hack "in a dark past" it tells the story of Grovyle / Treecko & Dusknoir / Duskull with a fascinating storyline that eventually warps into the original story
"Hey, so we need you to compose a game soundtrack, it's for this niche spinoff Pokemon series that practically nobody knows, so you don't have to go too hard on it" Arata Iiyoshi: 🎹🎹🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Finished the main story a couple days ago. Yes, the way things ended completely wrecked me. I was somewhat confident that my character (a Squirtle named Duke), contrary to what Grovyle and Dusknoir said, wouldn't disappear at the end of the journey. Duke was a human that turned into a Pokémon, and therefore he wasn't the same, if that makes sense. Duke as a human had technically already vanished, and I held on to the hope Duke as a Squirtle wouldn't. And I'm pretty sure that picking Vulpix as my partner worsened things significantly, because her crying sprite is easily one of the most heartbreaking in the game, especially in the ending sequence. Anyhow, thank you for bearing with me and reading my comment to the end, very cool of you.
I was thinking of an alternate end that would also be pretty sad. Since you get erased from time, imagine if after you vanished, your partner was just standing there dazed and confused. And didn't know what he was doing, why he was there, and no one else had a clue. He just slowly walks back to Lapras, Lapras doesn't ask about you, and it shows the montage of everything back to normal except every contribution and mention of you is completely gone. Nobody remembers you because you never existed.
It's been a long time since I played this game, yet I could still remember the emotions i felt throughout the ending, this game's conclusion is just so well done
Randomly remembered this game 10 years after playing it, and still got immense goosebumps as soon as it started playing. That's how you know it's a masterpiece
Why, even though I've never played the game this song is from, why am I on the verge of tears right now? This song is so nostalgic for me even though I have never seen a second of the game it's from.
In 2008, I cried like a little bitch during this scene... After manning the fuck up and growing up after all these years, playing this game in 2022.. I cried like a BIG bitch during this scene.

It's the exact same thing they did in the original. Still cried at both though.
I got mad when the credits rolled. I thought it was such a sad ending. Then the post-credits scene happened and I felt better.
One of the reasons this moment is so powerful is because you the player actually speak and have a conversation. No picking from text boxes, no one repeating what you said for dialogue convenience. Just telling your best friend goodbye, and thanking them for all the wonderful memories.
Not even thought bubbles.
also, the fact that there's no name before the lines of dialogue unlike every other character truly makes this moment that more different

I was so close to getting through the ending without crying my first playthrough. But what eventually broke me was the flashbacks on the beach. Like the whole part where the partner seemingly had moved on, months after the player disappeared, only to go to the beach during sunset and have all the memories of the protagonist flood back. That was so heartbreaking for me.
god damn you, onion cutting ninja!
Grovyle, stop cutting onions in the future!
Manly tears
Them damn greninjas sneakin onions under my eyes
this game is really emotional at times
Greenstar the Mono-Emperor
That's my interpretation as well. Considering you and your partner's dialogue at this point, it's reasonable to think there was a romantic element to their relationship.
Oh. It seems the guy I was replying to deleted their comment. Or maybe it's here somewhere and I somehow replied to someone else.
The Happy Madman No, they deleted it.
Jeez, my old comment on my old account have somehow gotten over one hundred likes. Thanks fellow Pmd fans for that.
I will never forget...
I remember as a young kid, I couldn't ever finish Explorers of Time because when I got to this point I'd always end up bawling my eyes out and resetting my save file, so that I could relive those happy memories with my partner. I was a little older when Explorers of Sky came out, so I told myself I would finally brave through the tears and finish the game. Even all these years later this song sticks with me and I get emotional, both because of the story itself and the fact that it affected me so much as a kid.
I wish Pokemon games still had storytelling like this. It felt like there was so much effort put into immersing you in the world of Pokemon and its characters. I still highly value story as one of the key aspects of what makes a game "good" because those memories have stuck with me all these years.
I don't think a game needs a story to make it good, but a good story like this can definitely go a long way.
True the last part
you say "Pokemon games still had storytelling like this" as if the mainline games has good stories. the story is nearly always: beat gym, fight rival, bad guys do something bad, beat them, become champion. the spin offs had good stories
@@somerandomguy-3102I think the older games were really good, but the only generations that even _ATTEMPTED_ to have engaging stories were 5 and 7. I think 5 did a relatively ok job, but the pacing in 7 was so bad that I just couldn't take the story seriously. I think I could call only Gen 5 a proper JRPG, but its still pretty messy.
Pokémon will always hold a special place in my heart. It was the foundation of who I am today. And I cant thank Satoshi Tajiri enough for creating the world of Pokémon. I really wish he knew how much it changed my life for the better...
Fairy Tail also? Particularly Erza's backstory and character? :D
This is the only game to ever make me truly cry, I remember being a 5 year old in blockbuster just bawling my eyes out at the credits scene after spending the car ride and like 20 minutes in the store trying to finish the game, and then all the emotions I felt seeing what happened afterwards, this game and this song is one the main things that’s fueled my lifelong love for all things Pokémon. This’ll probably be lost in the sea of comments but it just feels good to talk about everything this game and this piece of music has done for me, the impact it’s had on my life.
This is the only game that made me cry.
same
same, and i tend to give that credit to the music in the moment. i tear up even by hearing it while im not playing just because i remember the scene unfolding

I’m a part of the video game ensemble at Appalachian State University.
This semester, we’re covering multiple tracks from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, explorers of sky (this one is included). And as you can probably tell by my profile pic, I play piano. Plus the piano arrangement on this piece is really beautiful.

To anyone still listen to this in 2020: Endless respect from my heart
Edit: It's 2021 now and you still come here, more respect
Edit 2: It's 2022 now, we won't ever forget
Edit 3: 2023. Still going, ladies and gentlemen!
I still listen to it until today. Mad respect for you too for commenting this ✋😭 I'll forever love this game❤
Mini Momo Thank you,my friend
I am
Sonix 790 Huge respect
So glad someone recommended this game to last month
The first and still one of the few moments I've ever cried to a video game.
The story in this game is amazing. This tune just makes it so much better.
The emotions enhanced by this music are perfect.
I cry every time I hear this
So many emotions behind it
Same here it really hits me hard every time i complete the game
Me too~
I cannot imagine how hard this must have hit every child who played this game. I'm 32, a full-grown woman, and I still cried my eyes out at this part.
I first played a Mystery Dungeon game when I was about 8. I never finished RRT, but with how poorly I comprehended the fugitives arc, I don't think I would've been that phased by the ending. After growing up a little, I played PSMD start to finish at 16 and it absolutely ruined me.
I _just_ finished playing Explorers of Sky, at 23, and I'm still recovering from it.
Redefined my life.
This game made me cry for the following reasons:
1.) The main story/plot is beautiful and is a masterpiece that made me cry
2.) All of the game's characters were all so unique. You can really feel bond u have with you're partner and friends
3.)Grovyle. He was my favorite character second to my partner. His sacrifice made me cry
4.)How the game makes u feel special and gives u lessons u won't ever forget😢
I'm genuinely not one to cry with anything really, something has to be like DAAAAAMN emotional for me to cry over it.
I lost count of how many times I cried to this
From now on whenever I feel angry, stressed, to proud or happy about something and need an emotional restart, or I just wanna kick my heart in the D$#& with a steel toed boot and get sad I'll play this.
Remember that boot from Spongebob's movie? I'd say you kick your heart in the d*** with that, just a steel boot doesn't represent enought sadness for such a song.
“Vulpix… even after I disappear from here… I will never forget you.”
“Riolu!!”
I don’t often cry during games… but this was one of those moments.
Literally my first time with this music
My father: Are you crying?
Me: I'm not crying! *Snif*
The first time I eat the game I was at my grandparents house and was sitting on the floor next to the bed so no one would see my tears
My father: "Why are you crying?"
Me: *Gives him the earphones*
My mother: "Why are you two crying?"
EV-Zero ahh pfp
Mystery Dungeon's endings never fails to hit you right in the heart with a critical hit.
My friend sent this today and I was wondering why. Then I looked at the calendar. Fucking hell.
What day was it?
What day? Please tell, unless you don't feel comfortable sharing.
@@jacksonlague7304Well it was over 4 years ago so I can't really say with certainty but I'm like 80% sure it was an edgy high schooler making a shitty 9/11 joke
@@handtohand94 Damn.
Hmmm
Listen to this whenever you lose someone.
Why would you listen to this when you lose someone? Now you're never gonna stop crying.
I can't beat this game without crying despite playing it more than 5 times over.
萌え 萌え可愛い Lehla Pathetic. I've played it over seventeen times. I still cry my eyes out ;-;
EVERYBODY cried during this scene and if you didn’t, you’re lying.
I never thought 1 day in my life I will cry over a pokemon game and this one did at the exact moment this song played ,even now 10 years later i'm getting emotional over the song over the moment ,this game is such a masterpiece
I've cried at the end of quite a few games. Wind Waker, nostalgic. Heartgold, great remake. This game? Freaking masterpiece. I felt every feel the game put me through. I felt like i was actually leaving a friend when i started to dissipate... This game has made a special place in my heart that no other game could provide.
I just finished Explorers of Sky DS for the first time this evening. I’m not an emotional guy, or at least I don’t get very emotional over movies or games, but this, this one got me not just emotional, but in tears, a great ending to a great game.
Exactly my thoughts
@Hioozuma More than many movies,series or Adult's games?YES!
And that's not all!This ending made me cry,but the ending of world of darkness with Grovyle?!!Made a fucking waterfall come out of my eyes.🤣🤣
Seriously, I cried a lot, a lot. The story of this game is incredible.
I nearly cried on this one. This is one song i had a deep conection with. I had depression like some months ago like 6 months and it was really hard to express my feeling even to myself and especially to others but this song made the impossible possible. Everytime i heard this song i went to my couch, hid below it and started crying not just tears but whole waterfalls of water went out of my eyes. This was the was i handled my depression. And it helped, my situation still got worse but without this song it may have been unstopable. This song hits this right deep into my heart because this combination of this nostalgic feeling with the combination of the instruments just was a wonder for me. Nowadays i have won the fight against my depression, found out a way of handling my problems and just dont cry because of my problems i have and how my live is shitty as fuck when i hear this song but crying because remembering of this time I played this game and the sad situation accured at the end of the cutscene. What i want to say, dear reader who reads this. Don’t run from your problems, fight against them and find a way to know how to handle those. You will find a way out of your depressed circumstances and then enjoy your life as I do. Cheers

To the people who disliked this:
You *have no soul.*
*looks like some people are getting it tonight*
Nah, they probably misclicked because they can't see through the tears in their eyes.
Zamn 3 years passed already
This song is heartbreaking every time... ❤
nothing but chills down my back for two minutes, it took me years to not cry at this LOOOL
this was the only game ever to make me cry like that. i was already bawling when we were revealed to be grovyles partner, and when he was gone. now this was the BREAKING POINT. i was genuinely like wailing, like mourning. i will never forget this game, and it taught me many things in life. this game is truly a masterpiece, and deserves to be remade on the switch, or the next nintendo console.
My two best friends just moved away, and when people ask how I’m feeling, I just send this to them. Sums it up pretty well
so sorry that happend to me oh 8 month ago now (holy S*** its been that long) and i feel your pain
@@camkart100 I'm glad someone understands. thank you :)
no problem its really hard the only good this is with discord and such its still easy to play games and talk with them

I got PMD Explorers of Sky for my birthday and when that moment came when I heard the melody from Dont Ever Forget, tears came to my eyes. To this day, this OST gets me a masterpiece and I'm looking forward to a good remake of this OST in the future in a remake of Explorers of Time/Darkness or Sky
I'm not crying
We're all crying....
Its safe to say we were all babies with this song
Yes. This. This is the comment.
@@xXChickyChuXx dont tell me your part of the people who could ruin someone experience of the game be trying giving him 100 tip on how to play or spoil the game
@@dragondesabysse2258 I honestly have no idea what my original comment was about. I wouldn't give too many tips on how to breeze through the game, or spoil the story in any way. The game is great, and I wouldn't take away from that. If I was to guess, maybe my original comment was directed at people like the IGN reviewers.
Unbelivable ... this song is LEGENDARY.
"Lets make some 10 year olds cry"
"Sir, we made it a bit too powerful it might make all ages cry"
"That includes 10 year olds?"
"Yes sir"
"Then keep it the way it is"
not seeing your characters dialogue displayed throughout the game and this being the first time you do...and it being an emotional speech about your partner and how much you've enjoyed your time with them...makes me even more emotional oh man 😭😭
You'll always be ready for an adventure,
But you can never be ready to part ways and say goodbye to someone you cherished,laugh and cry with,who meant the world to you,who meant everything to you,who will always be there for you when no one else could and who you go on great adventures with
Still the only time a game has ever made me cry from anything other than frustration.
0:41 If there were lyrics to this song, this part would be, “Don’t ever forget.”
I Will always remember you, Totodile
Every. Single. Playthrough.
I cry at this part every single time. This music hooks deep into your emotions and drags them to the surface and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
I think the music can fit every game because you may not want to stop playing but you have seen everything you saved everyone so now there is no reason for you to stay you have other games/realities to save you have to go even if you don’t want to…
Agh, this song brings up so many feels... I remember first playing this game. The Explorers series had such massive hits of feels.
CasualFan RWBY The new one was good. The story was a bit similar. That part you're worrying about hits hard. I don't say why. It just surpirses you.
Ooohhh no puns I'm crying give me a tissue
I need a hug
The feels are real
@@blindcharo8455 there there we can cry together
@@chrispyynugget1537 yes please that would be great. I just replayed and beat the game too.
i'm turning 30 this year and i legitimately cried stumbling upon this. memories of playing this game when i was 15 came back to me and hit me like a truck. truly an amazing game
The worst part of an unforgettable story is that you can't forget it and relive it for the first time.
WHO PUT THIS BOWL OF ONIONS HERE?!
Femme Funtime this song is a room full of chopped onions!
Oh i put them here to cook them sorry
sorry
Started a replay 2 days ago and this game once again made me cry for several minutes.
PMD2 is just a true masterpiece.
This is the first and last pokemon game that's ever made me cry. Even as an adult I'll bawl my eyes out. A masterpiece of a game that I don't think will ever be able to be recreated
whoop im crying
Replaying this game years and years after I originally did, at almost 30 years old, I wondered if the ending would hit me as hard as it did when I was young.
Yeah, I was not ready for it. God DAMN.
It’s 2021 and this scene still makes me bawl my eyes out
Two years later and it still has the same effect.
Hearing all those stories and comments makes me feel bad I never played a pmd game, but rather watched one. Still, this song is breaking me.
One of the greatest pokemon games in a decade or more and IGN gives this game a 4.9 score. No words
To be fair, the gameplay fucking sucks. It's so RNG based and is often way more frustrating then fun. My playthrough was so unfair and unbearablely hard that I eventually had to resort to cheat codes to even beat the damn thing.
@@AUniqueusernamel3626and another thing, it’s based off of Explorers of Time and Darkness, games that they likely already reviewed, and since they didn’t play the special episodes, this is just the same game for the third time to them.
@@AUniqueusernamel3626God you’re pathetic.
@@Nathan-rb3qp How am I pathetic that I got fucked over by RNG?
@@AUniqueusernamel3626 What part did you get stuck at?
This was the craziest thing to experience as a child. I have to this day never cried at a game like this.
Here are some lyrics:
In the past, you may have lost a friend, and somehow, your tears are locked away,
Even if you try to cry out loud, as you look at the experiences that you...
Don't ever forget... (instrumental)
Never did i think in my life just hearing a song could me me tear up but hey, here we are.
my soul crys to this song
"Goodbye... my ol partner... I'm so sorry... that I couldn't stay forever... live well with no doubt... partner..."
The first and to this day only series to ever make me cry. Mystery Dungeon is by far my favorite Pokémon spinoff series, Explorers of Sky is my second favorite Pokémon game just behind Omega Ruby, and I took this song to heart, no way in hell I'm gonna forget one of the most wonderful, beautiful, magical video game journeys I've ever gone on.
As of right now Rescue Team DX is the most important Pokémon games to me because it marked 2 very important things, it marked this series' miraculous return on the scene, and it made Mystery Dungeon the first ever Pokémon spinoff to get a remake (and a damn faithful one at that, eat your heart out BDSP). Really shows that no matter how mid the mainline games get, even The Pokémon Company themselves love this series just about as much as the fans. Here's hoping they also Don't Ever Forget and keep these masterpieces going with as much love and dedication as they've been putting into it since the beginning.
For anyone that loves this series (and hasn't played or looked up the games since a long tine) and the Grovyle / Dusknoir Arc i recommend the special episode 0 rom hack "in a dark past" it tells the story of Grovyle / Treecko & Dusknoir / Duskull with a fascinating storyline that eventually warps into the original story
"Hey, so we need you to compose a game soundtrack, it's for this niche spinoff Pokemon series that practically nobody knows, so you don't have to go too hard on it"
Arata Iiyoshi: 🎹🎹🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
fuck i just remembered this game. This is so unbelievably emotional even all these years later.
I'm not crying. I just have something in my eyes.
Usagi Tsukino Tears
CAP
Finished the main story a couple days ago. Yes, the way things ended completely wrecked me.
I was somewhat confident that my character (a Squirtle named Duke), contrary to what Grovyle and Dusknoir said, wouldn't disappear at the end of the journey. Duke was a human that turned into a Pokémon, and therefore he wasn't the same, if that makes sense. Duke as a human had technically already vanished, and I held on to the hope Duke as a Squirtle wouldn't.
And I'm pretty sure that picking Vulpix as my partner worsened things significantly, because her crying sprite is easily one of the most heartbreaking in the game, especially in the ending sequence.
Anyhow, thank you for bearing with me and reading my comment to the end, very cool of you.
I was thinking of an alternate end that would also be pretty sad. Since you get erased from time, imagine if after you vanished, your partner was just standing there dazed and confused. And didn't know what he was doing, why he was there, and no one else had a clue. He just slowly walks back to Lapras, Lapras doesn't ask about you, and it shows the montage of everything back to normal except every contribution and mention of you is completely gone. Nobody remembers you because you never existed.
Congratulations! You unlocked the true ending!
WTF…
@@icebear6757 I mean, it technically makes more sense, because you shouldn’t be able to remember a person that no longer exists.
When the cracked teamate says: "your gonna have to clutch up"
It's been a long time since I played this game, yet I could still remember the emotions i felt throughout the ending, this game's conclusion is just so well done
I didn’t cry at the point when my player died i cried when my partner started remembering
This song still makes my heart ache and makes me feel ready to cry...
Even at my second playthrough I still cried at this moment. Incredible game
I love this track so much!
Randomly remembered this game 10 years after playing it, and still got immense goosebumps as soon as it started playing. That's how you know it's a masterpiece
Why, even though I've never played the game this song is from, why am I on the verge of tears right now?
This song is so nostalgic for me even though I have never seen a second of the game it's from.
i recommend you play it
PLAY IT, IT'LL MAKE IT SO MUCH SADDER
played the game again after 6 years, listening to the old soundtracks definitely hit really hard.
In 2008, I cried like a little bitch during this scene...
After manning the fuck up and growing up after all these years, playing this game in 2022..
I cried like a BIG bitch during this scene.
Bro you said it
I can't seem to hear this song over the sound of my uncontrollable sobbing.
I know. Hope it's a good song but I cant tell for sure...
