Pokémon Day is fast approaching, expected to take place later this month on Feb. 27, and while everyone is awaiting news of Pokémon Legends Z-A, there’s a series I am personally praying will get some love after years of neglect—the Mystery Dungeon series.
The Mystery Dungeon series is a fan-favorite spin-off game where you wake up as a Pokémon and create a team to rescue various creatures and the world. It has become a beloved part of the franchise with a rabid fanbase, and most of them, including myself, have been crying out for a new installment for quite some time. The last time we got a new entry in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series was a decade ago with the release of Super Mystery Dungeon for Nintendo 3DS. In 2020, we did get a remake of the original Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team for Nintendo Switch for its 15th anniversary, but a new entry in the series has been painfully missing for some time.
