>>19686596The Fugitive arc in Rescue Team was one of the most engaging story arcs in any Pokemon game I played.
Bonus points for not just engaging me into the story, but also for engaging me as a player. Unlike all the other scenes where the player had foreknowledge of of what happening off-screen, they way they set it up and played off the player's lack of knowledge/character's amnesia was amazing.
It also had the best farewell scene of an Explorers game.
The rest I remember being pretty bland. Building your house was cute, and getting to know the cast was nice as well, but that's not exclusive to Rescue Team compared to other Explorers titles.
Definitely worth playing if only for the fugitive arc and ending (and I guess the Gengar arc to a lesser extent).
