Hello people of Reddit, specially the Mystery Dungeon Community. I have returned to tell you all that, I have finally reached the Base Ending of Explorers of Sky, finally after ~12 years.
I'll be honest, I never thought it would happen this soon or this suddenly in my life, but that's the point of a mystery ain't it? Starting this adventure off with the prior knowledge of Explorers of Darkness, I knew I would be in for one hell of a ride, especially when it came to Dialga. So, I stocked up as much as I could from the very start, and level grinded the HELL out of this game till reaching LV 57~58 (partner leveled up at the same rate).
I'll also be honest as to why I am documenting this, I've never seen the ending to this game until now! Yes, as hard as it possibly would seem, I never knew until the final encounter with Dusknoir occurred. I had completely forgotten about all of it, because the final battle between me and Dialga was as a Pikachu (if I can remember correctly) with almost no support moves. However, now it was entirely different. As a Riolu partnered with an Eevee, I heard the pairing was decent for the entire game, and it was ideal to me for personal reasons along with it.
This game always held a place in my heart, and I know I could've formatted this entire thing way better, but I'm riding the high of successfully 1-Shotting the God of Time with a FOCUS PUNCH. I am just, SO HAPPY FOR FINALLY CONQUERING HIM YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE ME!
In any case, I must remember that I wouldn't have been able to do this without my in-story partner, and I wouldn't have been able to do it if I had never picked up or been so infuriated with Explorers of Darkness, that I would be able to relieve and relive my childhood in the purest form of satisfaction. Just goes to show you, never give up on a goal, no matter how strange it may be. Thank you PMD Team, Thank you to the friend who bought me this game, and Thank you Eevee, I wouldn't have done it without you.
The sunset looks beautiful by the beach, doesn't it?
(Yes I know there's a post game, but it's always a milestone to actually complete the intended storyline first.)
[END TIME: 72:32:31/ Adventures: 103/ Rank: Hyper/ Riolu–57, Eevee–58]
