Line 3:
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: {{spoiler|Team Skull.}}
* [[Complete Monster]]:
* [[Critical Dissonance]]: Of the critic-hated, player-loved kind. The story is generally agreed to be better than the supporting gameplay.
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: Now with its [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]:
** [[The Stinger]] for both games, plus the extended ending of ''Sky''.
Line 29:
* [[8.8]]: The fans were not happy about some review scores, particularly the 3/10 Game Informer gave Blue Rescue Team.
* [[Even Better Sequel]]: ''Time'' and ''Darkness'' are generally considered this, mainly because of the major improvement in story.
* [[Game Breaker]]:
** Unlike the main Pokémon series, "movement speed" actually provides a Haste effect, giving the user multiple turns in a row. It wears off quickly, but a quickened Pokémon can inflict a ''lot'' of damage if they also know attacks capable of hitting an entire room. This goes double in Monster Houses, where an enemy Pokémon using "Agility" can increase ''all enemies'' to double/triple/quadruple turns.
** Due to the lack of genders in the original games, Attract could effectively disable anything in ''Red'' and ''Blue'' for several turns, even ''bosses''.
** Multi-Hit attacks (Bullet Seed, Fury Swipes/Attack, Pin Missile). Due to the damage calculation in the ''Mystery Dungeon'' games being much different than the mainstream titles, these moves now hit as hard as most other attacks ''each individual hit''. This is made worse for the fact that the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Same-type_attack_bonus STAB bonus] from the mainstream titles is also implemented in the Mystery Dungeon games, meaning with the right Pokémon (A Treecko with Bullet Seed and the Concentrator skill for instance), this can be quite lethal.
* [[Goddamned Bats]]: Pretty much anything that can inflict Poison status, attack from a distance (most Water-type attacks have ranged capability), or from within walls (the Ghost types).
* {{spoiler|[[Magnificent Bastard]]: Dusknoir. Hell, if his epic plot in the main story doesn't qualify, how about his [[Xanatos Roulette]] in the ''Sky'' bonus chapter, which only fails because he actually [[Heel Face Turn|Heel Face Turns]] right there and then?}}
** {{spoiler|Darkrai. It is revealed at the end of the post-credits story that he was behind everything and manipulates everything in his path so he can destroy time and space himself.}}
* [[Memetic Molester]]:
** Drowzee was this in the main series thanks to its Pokédex entries; the mission where you have to rescue a child from him only escalated his status as one.
** According to Bidoof's Diary, Croagunk sneaks into the men's bedroom and watches Bidoof sleep while smiling creepily.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: {{spoiler|EVERYTHING Darkrai does, particularly trying to manipulate the heroes into committing suicide, pushes him FAR beyond this.}}
* [[Never Live It Down]]: "Perfect Apple Incident" anyone?
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Especially the bonus dungeons, some of which totally empty your inventory and level you down to 1. It's because of this that Zero Isle South is many players' favorite dungeon.
* [[Paranoia Fuel]]: In Time/Darkness/Sky, a conversation with your partner about {{spoiler|killing yourselves}} ends abruptly as the two of you go to sleep. When you wake up, {{spoiler|your partner's bed is ''empty''.}}
* [[Player Punch]]: The ending of Special Episode 2 in ''Sky''- ''Igglybuff the Prodigy''. Igglybuff has befriended his loyal, trustworthy master (a retired explorer), they've explored and found heaps of treasure. Then, after they beat a remote dungeon, Igglybuff's friends and parents turn up to reveal that {{spoiler|Igglybuff's mentor, Armaldo, is actually a B-rank outlaw. You can practically see Igglybuff's world ending as Armaldo's taken into police custody.}}
* [[Rescued
* [[The Scrappy]]:
** PMD2's Chatot by ''far''.
*** Of course. In a way, he's [[Crosses the Line Twice|irritating to the point of actually being humorous]].
** Cresselia as well. More for being a [[Leeroy Jenkins]] [[Escort Mission]] in what's already a candidate for [[That One Level]] and against [[That One Boss]].
* [[That One Boss]]:
** The first game has Articuno. Sure, Zapdos and Moltres were already fairly strong, but Articuno is the first boss Pokémon to wield a move that strikes your whole party (Powder Snow) -- be prepared to lose a few Reviver Seeds here, especially if one of your starters is Grass- or Ground-type.
** Palkia can be troublesome too, if he feels like spamming Spacial Rend. It also hits the whole party, and unlike Dialga's Roar of Time, he doesn't have to spend a turn recharging.
Line 55 ⟶ 56:
*** Though Riolu is only available as a starter in Sky, and you ''have'' to answer "male" on the quiz to get it. So good luck if you're playing Time or Darkness (or if you wanted one of the female-only starters).
** To be fair, most bosses actually lack [[Contractual Boss Immunity]] against [[Standard Status Effects]]. Throw them a Totter Seed (induces confusion, eliminating virtually all threat from anything short of a room-clearing move), an X-Eye Seed (causes a [[Mushroom Samba]], harmless on you but [[Artificial Stupidity|paralyzes the AI]]), or a Hunger Seed (immobilizes Pokémon with "Hungry Pal" status), and you can [[Curb Stomp Battle]] them straight into the ground. [[Combat Pragmatist|Combat pragmatism]] for fun and profit!
* [[That One Level]]:
** Any of the Legendary dungeons in the second game, i.e. Bottomless Ocean, Giant Volcano, etc.
** Mt. Bristle can be a bit of a challenge for the sole reason that you're not quite strong yet. Like the [[Early Bird Boss]], but for a level instead.
*** Not helped by the fact that Drowzee might be a bit of an [[Early Bird Boss]], if you get unlucky and his Forewarn ability activates a lot.
* [[Tier
** Cresselia in ''Explorers Of Time/Darkness/Sky'' is perhaps the worst when it comes to this. Not only do you have to escort her to the end of the dungeon (Which contains tons and tons of lava for her to float over and burn herself with), but she also takes place in the final battle against {{spoiler|Darkrai}}.
*** That being said, she at least has the Lava Evader IQ Skill, so she won't go onto the lava on her own.
Line 66 ⟶ 67:
