I wish I didn’t hang on to this for months aaaaagh, but one of my New Year’s resolutions is to actually promote myself!

Just a coffee or two is all I’m asking, and you have my thanks! Not sure if I’ll do comms, but adopts… that’ll be another day!
The Partner from Gates is the best kind of friend you can ask for, aren’t they?

Kind, hopeful, sees the best in everyone… They mostly figured out what they want to do in the world before they met the Hero, a very unique thing compared to other Partners.

Without them, Paradise wouldn’t be possible.

Woah, Waterfall Cave lore! This is the stuff that I live for!

My personal favorite of the franchise!

Most of it’s because of the well rounded cast, you really get to know and bond with them! If this game had another title, it’d be Everyone Needs Therapy XD

It’s always going to be a thematically relevant story, too! Especially in times like these.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity came out on this day in Japan 13 years ago!

What is your favorite part of it? What do you think it did well?

Gates thought! We all know Pokemon are able to build their own towns, but I believe this is the first time in the series where infrastructure is built outside of those places! Look at that stonework!

It makes sense too! After all, Noe Town, a port town, lies south of Post Town on this path!

A human is sent to the PMD world to save it, and it seems like they’re there for less than a year before it’s resolved.

But since they come back and stay after the whole ordeal is over, they got so much time ahead of them. They can live full lives! What would they do with that much time?

Sometimes I think about how the Seven Treasures in Explorers are all Legendary themed instruments, which really interests me.

The question is, who exactly made them and why are they accessed only through Secret Rank missions? That means they could be in collaboration with the Federation… hm…

I was waiting until it was confirmed, but that unnamed Zeraora character I got, I’m totally developing him more because they got a mega evolution now! ^w^

Me playing B2W2 as my first Pokemon game: Team Plasma are obviously the bad guys but what if there was a game with no humans in it?

Me when discovering Pokepark: It’s cute but the story is a bit too simple for me to fully buy into it-

Me when PSMD comes out: Ohhhhhhhhh now I get it :3

Having a dream where everyone is just a Pokemon is just the best, isn’t it?

Just had one where it takes place in a futuristic sci-fi ish city, hehe! ^w^

PSMD thought! I think Hero is the only one in the series that rejects coming back to their world pretty much immediately.

In one sentence they’re wondering about if they want to leave, but in the next they decide they want to stay because they love the world and their Partner too much to.

Oh my goodness, Pokopia really is a PMD prequel isnt it?

What do you mean it takes place in a post-human Kanto where everything is abandoned and in ruins, and there’s special characters like purple Kecleon with a Tangrowth Professor and a ghost looking Pikachu??

Fans are gonna leap all over this!!

Time passes, even in the PMD world.

How would the events where a human and their partner would save the world be remembered in, say, 20 years? 50? 100?

How widely known are their exploits to be celebrated?

Would there be statues in commemoration? Holidays? The stories told as epics or poems?

Been thinking about this a lot, I wanna write something that’s just basically Gates’ equivalent to Sky’s postgame. New Pokemon to meet, Paradise’s growth, Mist Continent lore, how Partner shapes up to be a great leader, and more!

Also, maybe leading up to the point where PSMD’s events take place…?

Since there are other Voices of Life during Gates, why was Hydreigon the only one to summon all those humans?

Considering the agents of spirits being mentioned in Rescue Team… Are they related somehow? Would Hydreigon be the head of such a group, second only to Xerneas, the Pokemon of Life itself?

On that note about yesterday, since Noe Town has the most drastic elevation changes of any town in PSMD, what if they made funicular railways for cargo transport? They have the abundance of metal to work with and they have all that water for a counterweight!

Would be a great precursor for trains…

I was wondering why Baram and Capim Town are near Pokemon Square and Treasure Town on their respective continents in the world map.

I assume it would take a day’s time to travel between the two places, so why aren’t the latter two the main port towns? I think the simple answer’s geography.
