Anyone who's played Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team knows that the whole game revolves around one moment. One beautiful moment that changes the entire game, and sets a bar that GameFreak could never dream to surpass.
Legends Arceus tried copying this. And Failed Miserably.

Rescue Team hitting kids with a firsthand taste of 'mob mentality', and the resulting violence was a bold narrative choice. And I fucking love it.
"Hey kids, this is what happens when you don't check your sources. You end up alienating, and sometimes directly hurting your former friends!"

The fugitive arc walked so the dark future arc could soar.

You described that moment perfectly. Like...it's a POKEMON game. When a guy from Team Meanies starts trying to paint you as some prophesied ender of worlds, you're just naturally expecting the townsfolk to be like "Nah, we know them, they're a great person, we don't believe you." or some similar banding together of trust and friendship.
But NO, watching everyone in town turn against you in a matter of minutes was... *hurtful*. Young me was genuinely on edge going through Mt. Blaze, and I want to say that's because, psychologically, you and your partner don't have a safe place to return to. You can't rest and try again tomorrow. There is no break in the gameplay for you to just walk around town and talk to NPCs. Just you, your partner, a dungeon marathon, and cutscenes in-between reminding you that almost everyone else wants you DEAD. Not captured, not subdued, these Pokemon want you GONE FROM THE WORLD. Genuinely wild.

The fugitive arc was so emotional, man. Maybe it wasn't perfect, but as a first for the series, it was exceptional

Gengar's actions get even more horrible when you remember/realize that HE was also human once, and in fact Gardevoir's trainer. He was perfectly okay with effectively sentencing another human the death via lynch mob.
Also the arc in Gates after you get betrayed is tense as hell imo, because not only is it a gauntlet of dungeons, you go through multiple BY YOURSELF, no partner and no ability to recruit.

Tbh, I kinda wish this arc lasted longer. It felt so special being on the run, not having the safety of home.

Just in terms of game mechanics it's always a bold move to separate player from most of the systems they've relied on like in this case shops, missions, training dojo and recruited buddies. This was already brilliant part of the game story-wise, but what really drove that story home was how player was also put in difficult spot out of nowhere. If you were underleveled and low on items like reviver seeds, too bad. You simply have start grinding and managing your inventory better. Like the characters, you also had to learn how to survive and move out of your comfort zone.

Mystery Dungeon was truly peak.

this is hilarious, because you find out gengar was THE human in the legends and he's just projecting

Fugitive arc made me fucking cry

Oh man I never would have expected you to cover Pokemon villains from some of the spin-off games like Mystery Dungeon now I can't wait for you to cover Darkrai for Sky, darkness, and time😊

i really, really, REALLY hope they’ll make a new one

The Fugitive Arc was one of my favorite arcs of a Pokémon spin-off game. Never had a villain like Gengar, realizing he can’t defeat you himself, manipulated an entire community specifically against you in a Pokémon game. And he got away with it up until Team A.C.T.’s testimony that you were innocent specifically because you had no memories with which to defend yourself, because—spoiler alert—you specifically asked for your amnesia when chosen to save the Pokémon world! Not helping is Gardevoir randomly appearing in your dreams to serve as your spiritual advisor! The SAME Gardevoir specifically from the Ninetales legend that started the entire apocalypse!
Sure, Cipher goes on record for being one of the most vile group of baddies in a Pokémon spin-off game for literally kidnapping an entire town (I am not making this up, Cipher was incredible at causing problems for everyone in XD: Gale of Darkness, more so than Colosseum). But Gengar earned my ETERNAL loathing. And it gets WORSE.
How worse, you might ask?
Gengar is the same punk who STARTED the entire narrative!
He was the one who touched Ninetales’ tails. He was the one whom Gardevoir sacrificed herself to protect from Ninetales’ curse! He was the one who abandoned her! And he was the one who became a Pokémon first and unintentionally kickstarted the Poképocalypse!
Heck, the guy temporarily tried and failed to drag us to the afterlife when we got caught in the blast by Rayquaza, only abandoning us when he got lost!
Oh, and then he has the gall to rope us into a freaking escort mission and redemption quest to save Gardevoir’s soul, where we have to advocate for him to save Gardevoir!
Honestly, there’s a reason why I will NEVER use Gengar on a Pokémon team ever again, and I don’t care if Ash and Alister made it look cool or if has a Mega Evolution that’s coming back in Z. It’s THIS PRICK RIGHT HERE. He made me hate the original Ghost-type Pokémon by taking all of his problems and forcing them upon my first Mystery Dungeon hero, including turning me into a Fugitive.
I loved it narratively, but I cannot forgive or forget.

This entire part made younger me absolutely love Midori, my Chikorita partner. Like, as far as i was concerned, we were all that mattered anymore and id fight any of the Pokémon that came after us without a second thought

When Alakazam confronted us before we leave our base, it was so sweet
He still has high hopes for us

And hearing the music in Gladion's Battle Theme is a beautiful and fitting callback.

Lowkey still mad with the whole town for that, i remember the feeling of uncertainty as a kid, having to endure the harsh conditions and the hatred, knowing we cant stop, we cant rest, we must survive, whatever the method.
This felt so real and alive, it gave the story a whole component to relate to, is harsh, and i love the fact that they didn't hold back with this, even now everytime i check on the town i still give them a mean look afterwards...

The fugitive arc was especially brutal if you were hoping to have a chance to link some moves, or if you were a grass-type like Bulbasaur. Needing to go through fire and ice mountains was TOUGH!
8 |
And let's not forget that it gave us Runaway, which was later used as the base for Fladion's theme, which, with his character design, gave his entire story without him needing to say a single word, but rather with a battle, like the anime sometimes told so: A battle, and now we understand each other.

I loved the fugitive arc
Especially since the game insisted that no matter where we go we aren’t safe
And the fact Alacazam’s team did it but didn’t beat Groudon makes his fight more intimidating
