Yeah, you're right. No biggie. I'll still be picking it up for the 3DS if reviews are good.

I'd be shocked if 80s Overdrive doesn't come to Switch at some point.  Its been in development for so long that I can't see them letting it just die on 3DS.

I'd say, especially Pokémon.

Fair warning though, as much as I love both of these games, they both cater to a specific niche, and they're not at all shy about punching you in the face repeatedly for making a mistake.

They're brutal.

Thanks! I’m on the fence about PSMD, is that the best game to start with the franchise? Ideally I’d putchase a physical version. If I recall correctly, PSMD and especially explorers of sky are the highlights?

Dillon and Card Jockey ars nobrainers for that price.

PSMD is definitely not the the game I'd recommend as an entry title. It's quite easily the hardest in the series. A very unforgiving game. It's still a good deal though.

Explorers of Sky is certainly no cakewalk, but it's much more beginner friendly with a less steep difficulty curve.  It still gets tough though, around two thirds through (Damn you, Porygons). Best story in the Pokemon franchise as well, even with "Power of Friendship" seeing heavy usage. That's the one I'd recommend first if it's available.

How would you rank all the PMD games? And wich is the most beginner friendly one? I’d love to get into a new franchise and this seems like a great contender.

Blue Rescue Team - This one is on the easier scale. Also the shortest. Some bosses might catch you off guard depending on what two Pokémon you get as your mains. It's a Gen 3 game, so it's before the Physical/Special split. (Lucario gets a little cameo though)

I'd also say it has the least good plot in Mystery Dungeon. Which sounds bad, but it's still better than 80% of Pokémon game plots.

It's a great diving in point. But, being the first title, it has some weird quirks that get dropped from future titles. And it's pretty cheap on WiiU VC to boot. It's also the only Pokémon title that offers Cubone as a starter Pokemon, so gotta give it credit for that.

Explorers of Sky - 2nd hardest of the four and my second favourite. A Gen 4 title featuring every Pokémon up to that point (Except Arceus, who appears in an impossible to find cameo)

A lot of refinements got added, making for a much more polished game than BRT. Whatever you do decide to play first, make sure you play this one at some point.

But for the love of everything holy, skip the opening cutscene when you boot up the game. It kinda spoils the biggest twist in the story and it's a really good one.

Notable for being around three times as long as the first game.

Gates to Infinity - Gen 5's entry also happens to be my least favourite. It's also the easiest. It's not bad, but it suffers from a horrendously slow pace. Text speed is slow, animations are slow, everything is slow. And PMD isn't exactly a fast paced game to begin with.

I can really only recommend this one if you've played another one and really want more. Too many annoying niggles.

That said, it does have the most insane story in the Pokemon Franchise. I'm still amazed this game got a PEGI 3 rating. I'd say why, but spoilers.

Super Mystery Dungeon - Gen 6's game decides that it's had enough of kiddy gloves and gives us the second hardest Pokémon game ever. (After Typing Adventure) Has every single Gen 6 Pokémon, except Diancie and Volcanion, who are all recruitable through side quests.

This one's my favourite. Story is almost as good as EoS, soundtrack is great by Mystery Dungeon standards (Pretty damn amazing) and it has the best gameplay. Can't recommend it enough... After playing Explorers of Sky, this game gets super hard.

 

PMD is pretty much the only DS-Era Pokémon spin-off series to survive to the present time, and for good reason. It provides challenge and plot to a franchise that isn't really known for either. It shines the spotlight on the less popular Pokémon and adds character to them as well. From goofy western-speaking Bidoof to Alcoholic Krookodile (He says it's Milk, it's totally not)

Go for it, they're all playable on the 3DS, so they're pretty accessible. But I'll give you two pieces of advice.

Holding R makes you move only diagonally.

And don't ever mess with the Kecleons.
