PSMD is a stand-alone game in that you don't have to know the others to enjoy the adventure (though knowing such does enhance it). However, to make a valid criticism of PSMD's story, plot, themes, and motifs (as you have attempted), one MUST know the history and development of those things in the context of the Mystery Dungeon series as a whole, not just in comparison to the singular microcosmic pinpoint that is PMD2 Explorers.

how does gates tie in, now im curious

i havent played gates lmao

I have watched LPs of Rescue Team, and I wasn't referring to the motifs--I was referring to the story.

Notably, the illusionary legendary battle and the fact that the Expedition Society is extremely similar to the Guild--Ampharos and Wigglytuff are practically the same character.

I think this is chapter 14, might be 13 but I'm being safe

I was SO pissed when the goddamn scarves evolved me without my permission. I was really on the verge of tears and probably would have cried if it didn't turn me back. Thank Christ

it's so important I stay a baby the whole game, I'm not sure why but it really is

I couldnt use my pikachu/squirtle team. Also I was really really angry about the forced male characters

Quote from: mastersuperfan on November 27, 2015, 04:17:38 PMThere are so many things taken practically straight out of Explorers.

Can't tell if they're making references or are just too stupid to think of anything else.
As someone who's only played explorers of time and PSMD I can say that I have no clue what you're talking about.
As an addendum you have nothing BACKING your claim.  The Expedition Society IS similar to the guild, but since I've only played the two, I assumed it was natural for a pokemon mystery dungeon game to have a place that EXPLORES MYSTERY DUNGEONS.  If the other 2 games don't have one that's their fault.  The only things I've seen from explorers is casual remarks referencing it-certainly not plot themes.  Wigglytuff and Ampharos?  Nah.  Wigglytuff I feel genuinely knew what he was doing and just acted that way to put people off guard.  Ampharos is genuinely scatterbrained.

Ampharos is still my favorite character and my favorite scene is still when you see latias and latios- is this what you were referring to Insig?

This is actually pretty wrong and you should really pay more attention to Ampharos' character.

*minding your own business in the middle of a dungeon floor*
"Drifblim used Ominous Wind!"
"Your entire team nearly fainted!"
"Drifblim's Attack rose!  Drifblim's Defense rose!  Drifblim's Special Attack rose!  Drifblim's Special Defense rose!  Drifblim's Speed rose!"
"The Unburden ability delivers another attack!"
"Your entire team got pounded into dust!"
"Drifblim's Attack rose! ..."

In all seriousness though there's so much hax in the dungeons but if you can manage to outhax them the bosses are easier to make up for it
I recommend Stayaway wands

The world never has too many Ace Attorney fans.

Or Undertale fans.

Or PMD fans.

Also, I just found a really weird glitch in

Minor spoilers for Chapter 18-ish
Reverse Mountain
[close]

although I doubt it's specific to that dungeon. I took some videos, and I'll upload it to show you guys.

EDIT: Okay, if anyone's at all interested, check here to see the glitch. The first video is sideways, by the way. I just took them with my iPhone, which I happened to have on hand next to me.

I have no clue as to why this happened. It started on F2, presumably after an encounter with a Sawk, and proceeded to persist for the rest of dungeon.
