To say that the Mystery Dungeon games have had a huge impact on my life would be an understatement. Blue Rescue Team was the first real video game I ever recieved, at the age of 8, and it changed me permanently. Since then I have always wished that one day I too would awaken having turned into a Pokémon....
Explorers is my favorite of the series, but the others are all special too. I've played through it the most times of any video game, and it never gets old. I still cry at the ending. Grovyle in particular is very special to me, he's one of the first characters I really saw myself in and projected onto.
PMD has been such a huge source of inspiration for me for a very long, and I really hope that someday we can get a new game in the series. And with such a large fan community, there's sure to be plenty of unofficial content to come to entertain myself with.
By the way, I have my own story idea and characters for PMD, which will (hopefully) soon be linked on the left! Making a fangame for it would be a dream come true, but at the moment that's a little outside my capabilities
