Dark Matter (Not to be confused with the Kirby character of the same name) is the main antagonist of Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon.
Why It Got Destroyed
- This character is nothing but a rehash of Bittercold from Gates To Infinity, in which both are objects, both transport the player and partner to a place out of nowhere and weaken them, both try to destroy the world, and both are made from Pokemon's negativity.
- Additionally, the way that it's defeated is actually similar to how you defeat Bittercold. The Pokemon at the town (who are turned into stone in Super), tell the protagonist and partner to not give up and keep fighting it. Unlike Bittercold however (who can only take damage during the second phase, due to having plot armor in the first phase), Dark Matter can be damaged during the first phase boss battle very easily (Considering the player and partner are in their final evolution forms because of the Tree Of Life).
- It took control of Nuzleaf and the Beheeyem, which turned them into minions who possess Dark Matter's powers to turn every Pokemon in the Pokemon world into stone.
- Both Bittercold and Dark Matter share the villain cliche of them trying to destroy the world.
- Unlike Bittercold in which has a cool snowflake design, Dark Matter has a rather basic looking sphere design (Which can be seen in it's 2nd form).
- Similar to Bittercold, their designs look like something that came from a completely different game rather than Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.
- Unlike the other antagonists from the previous Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games (Gengar and Rayquaza from Rescue Team, Dusknoir and Primal Dialga from Explorers, and Kyurem from Gates To Infinity). Dark Matter and Bittercold are only doing their destruction mid-way through the story, and it randomly happens. Additionally they are nothing but random objects that aren't even related to the other characters in the game.
Redeeming Qualities
- The first form of Dark Matter, has a decent design.
- Unlike Bittercold, it has some personality and actually speaks.
