Okay, but here's a thought - do we KNOW Magnezone didn't go on a search for you and your partner? We have no idea what happened back in that timeline when you're dragged to the future. We have zero idea of what went on, I assume they have been searching for a good while. We still don't know how long you two were gone and all, yeah, but it's fair to give Magnezone credit.

If I remember correctly Sunflora and Bidoof had diaries you could read that mentioned how everyone believed that your team was simply "missing". Not kidnapped, just "missing" which made the guild worry sick. The guild went and took a look during the period of time your team was missing, if my memory serves correctly, but it never mentioned Magnezone plotting a rescue effort or a long expedition to find clues to your team's whereabouts, unlike the Grovyle saga where he was constantly involved in trying to catch Grovyle. (Before everyone knew the truth). It's more of a personal nitpick than anything else, but he really did rub me the wrong way due to how it didn't go into much detail on what he does. Honestly, I kinda wish that they gave him a special episode in Sky to tie up some loose ends, as maybe that would sway my opinion in the same way the Team Charm episode did when Sky came out.

...ooohhh. Hm.

Psychological assimilation versus accommodation. To wit: everyone was so convinced that Dusknoir was a good guy that they'd rather reinterpret your team's vanishing as a "disappearance", than admit that their preconceived notions about Dusknoir was wrong.

Ooooor - and this could really make it a bit more interesting - Dusknoir employed psychic deception.

[Nebbles]

Now that's something I can get behind!

[Altissimo]

Making the residents of Treasure Town forget the team ever existed would probably be too much of a hassle and likely beyond a Ghost-type's limited powers but what if he just made everyone think that the team had... gone missing...? after speaking to him at the portal.

[K-NiGhT]

I mean, I still think Alakazam's team sucks.

[Nebbles]

Well they're literally useless, so no one blames you for that.

[Altissimo]

They managed to follow you to Mt. Freeze. Totally not useless.

Totally.

[Nebbles]

To what, try and kill us? oooooh how useful

That reminds me I need to get to looking for that Explorers of Sky Riolu Plush... I still regret passing by it in target going "oh I'll just get it later" only to have it be so difficult to find in this day and age...

Come on Chunsoft, no "Very Best of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon" Remix album? Even Ys of all games got something for the 10th anniversary. Part of me wishes someone made a vocal arrangement album for PMD but sadly it seems too obscure for that to happen. Is it bad I want some J-Pop in my PMD remixes?
