The Story Is Surprisingly Interesting and Compelling
Get this: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue/Red Rescue Teams plot is based around a human that has mysteriously woken up to find themselves transformed into a Pokemon. They don’t remember how they got to the rescue team base and they definitely don’t remember how they got turned into a Pokemon so they join a rescue team and complete quests to figure out just what the heck is going on.
Don’t want to spoil the game for those that plan on playing the updated Switch version, but this leads you and your partner Pokemon on an adventure to basically save the world and discover details about a curse that turns humans into Pokemon –it’s really deep, guys.
And that’s nothing! The sequels, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness literally made me cry back in the day due to the nature of the plot and a certain character’s development.
I sort of hope that we also get a remake of those sequels as well but reliving the plot of the first two games is fine for now.
