Description I got my very first Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game, Red Rescue Team on December 24th 2006. It's been ten years, and I've never been same after that. It was the first and so far only Pokémon side game series I've gotten into and my love for it has only grown as the years passed. Now, to show my love for those games, I've picked my favorite moment/soundtrack from each game in the series.

Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon. Currently it's the newest game in the series. When it was first announced, I was so hyped for it. Did it live up to the hype? Well...yes, at least for me.
It took a little while, but some time after finishing the main story I started to appreciate the game and it's soundtrack more. Now it's probably my favorite Mystery Dungeon game (alongside with Gates to Infinity). The soundtrack, while it did not hit me personally like with Gates to Infinity, is just phenomenal. And speaking of the soundtrack...
This scene. This scene hit me so hard: the build up, the settlement and the incredible music for it - everything was just perfect in my opinion. Rayquaza's battle theme hold it's place as my favorite final boss theme until Super Mystery Dungeon came and BAM! Instant favorite.

I originally planned to draw this scene when the game came out, but I decided to hold it up for this special occasion. Yep, I've been planning this for a long time (like a year beforehand). And other reason for delaying this was my doubt in my skills. I wasn't sure if could I make this like I wanted. Dunno if my skills have improved so much in less than a year or what, but this wasn't even hard to do in the end. Took me only three hours.

After playing Okami myself I can say that I see the resemblance.

while i think that the final battle dragged a bit, i have to admit that scaling a giant tree in space was pretty epic for a final dungeon

And the music was perfect for that dungeon as well.

Charmander is okay, but it's not my favorite Kanto starter (because that's Bulbasaur) but I really used to like Charizard. It was one of my favorite pokémon for very long and it still holds a special place in my heart.

I loved this scene, music and battle. I didn't play too much PMD games, but honestly for now Pokémon Supermystery Dungeon is my favorite one by its story mainly

I know what you mean, the PMD series is my absolute favorite game series and I also hyped up PSMD half a year before it's release and it absolutely blew me away!
And I also know what you mean with doubt in skill, it's pretty much the reason why I haven't drawn any scenes or characters (well except one) from the games yet: Because I want it to be the absolute best quality that I can produce when I finally make it and I doubt that I'm good enough to capture such a scene yet.

But you nailed this one here and really captured this scene in an awesome way, I love the perspectiv and the shading style that you used, it looks fantastic!

This scene was intense for me.  And I loved how tricky the battle was at first, took awhile for me to get the hang of it.

I honestly didn't find the battle tricky or anything, it was really easy imo. It was the intensity that made this part for me.
