==The Personality Quiz==
The game begins with the following words:
:''Welcome!''
:''This is the portal that leads to the world of Pokémon!''
:''Before I can let you through, I have several questions for you.''
:''I want you to answer them sincerely.''
:''Are you ready?''
:''OK... Let the interview begin!''
The personality test will then follow. The Pokémon will be chosen from the nature gathered in points from each question.


===Gender differences===
In the '''{{g|Mystery Dungeon}}''' games, the game starts with a small personality test. This will involve a random question from 8 out of 14 categories, with each category leaning towards a particular personality type.  Once the player has been asked the full eight questions, he or she will be given a final question that simply asks for their gender. Once this has been answered, the results are
If you are a boy you will not be able to become Eevee, Chikorita, or Skitty. If you are a
all tallied and his or her final personality and resulting [[Pokémon]] is determined.
girl you will not be able to become Meowth, Machop, or Cyndaquil.

The player will then be given a Pokémon relating to the personality type that he or she scored

highest in.  In the event of a tie between multiple personality types, one
will be chosen randomly out of those you scored highest in.  Finally, the player's
choice of gender dictates which of two Pokemon he or she will get for that
personality.

The questions in the personality test are:
Note that this gives a choice of 16 possible Pokémon, with 6 of them unique to a particular gender.  Cyndaquil, Machop and Meowth are only available to males, while Chikorita, Eevee and Skitty are only available to females.
 
Once the player's Pokemon has been chosen, he or she will be given a choice of partner.
The available partners are:
 
*Bulbasaur
*Charmander
*Squirtle
*Chikorita 
*Cyndaquil 
*Totodile
*Treecko   
*Torchic   
*Mudkip
*Pikachu
 
The plater is unable to choose a partner that matches the [[Elemental types|type]] of your his or her own Pokémon. Hence, Bulbasaur, Chikorita and Treecko cannot choose a {{Type2|Grass}} partner; Charmander, Cyndaquil and Torchic cannot choose a {{Type2|Fire}} partner; and Squirtle, Totodile, Mudkip and Psyduck cannot choose a {{Type2|Water}} partner. Furthermore, if the player gets Pikachu as a result of the personality test, he or she cannot also choose Pikachu as your partner.
 
 
==Strategy==
To try to get a particular Pokémon, keep the following in mind:
* Remember that six of the 16 possible Pokémon are available to one gender only - they will not be possible to get if the wrong gender is picked.
* Keep in mind the personality of the intended Pokémon. You want to always answer questions that increase that personality trait.
* When asked a question that doesn't have an answer for your chosen personality, the player should pick answers that increase traits that they haven't answered for yet and have low increases. It's often better to answer a question with something that increases a bunch of traits by 1 instead of an answer that increases a single trait by 2 or even 3.
 
If the chosen trait is increased high enough and the rest are kept below that, then it's not so difficult to get the chosen Pokémon. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't work the first time however - there is some luck involved with which questions will be asked.
 
==The Questions==
Remember that you will only be asked one question out of any Category chosen, unless your answer to a question deliberately redirects you to another question within that category. You will also only be asked questions from 8 Categories maximum before you are given the final question to determine your gender.

Revision as of 21:23, 14 January 2010

0572Minccino.png This article does not yet meet the quality standards of Bulbapedia. Please feel free to edit this article to make it conform to Bulbapedia norms and conventions.

In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, the game starts with a small personality test. This will involve a random question from 8 out of 14 categories, with each category leaning towards a particular personality type. Once the player has been asked the full eight questions, he or she will be given a final question that simply asks for their gender. Once this has been answered, the results are all tallied and his or her final personality and resulting Pokémon is determined.

The player will then be given a Pokémon relating to the personality type that he or she scored highest in. In the event of a tie between multiple personality types, one will be chosen randomly out of those you scored highest in. Finally, the player's choice of gender dictates which of two Pokemon he or she will get for that personality.

Pokémon Nature/Personality
Male Female
Bulbasaur Docile Calm
Squirtle Jolly Relaxed
Charmander Hardy Brave
Pikachu Impish Hardy
Meowth Quirky N/A
Psyduck Relaxed Lonely
Machop Brave N/A
Cubone Lonely Impish
Eevee N/A Naïve
Chikorita N/A Docile
Totodile Naïve Jolly
Cyndaquil Timid N/A
Treecko Sassy Quirky
Mudkip Calm Timid
Torchic Hasty Sassy
Skitty N/A Hasty

Note that this gives a choice of 16 possible Pokémon, with 6 of them unique to a particular gender. Cyndaquil, Machop and Meowth are only available to males, while Chikorita, Eevee and Skitty are only available to females.

Once the player's Pokemon has been chosen, he or she will be given a choice of partner. The available partners are:

  • Bulbasaur
  • Charmander
  • Squirtle
  • Chikorita
  • Cyndaquil
  • Totodile
  • Treecko
  • Torchic
  • Mudkip
  • Pikachu

The plater is unable to choose a partner that matches the type of your his or her own Pokémon. Hence, Bulbasaur, Chikorita and Treecko cannot choose a Template:Type2 partner; Charmander, Cyndaquil and Torchic cannot choose a Template:Type2 partner; and Squirtle, Totodile, Mudkip and Psyduck cannot choose a Template:Type2 partner. Furthermore, if the player gets Pikachu as a result of the personality test, he or she cannot also choose Pikachu as your partner.


Strategy

To try to get a particular Pokémon, keep the following in mind:

  • Remember that six of the 16 possible Pokémon are available to one gender only - they will not be possible to get if the wrong gender is picked.
  • Keep in mind the personality of the intended Pokémon. You want to always answer questions that increase that personality trait.
  • When asked a question that doesn't have an answer for your chosen personality, the player should pick answers that increase traits that they haven't answered for yet and have low increases. It's often better to answer a question with something that increases a bunch of traits by 1 instead of an answer that increases a single trait by 2 or even 3.

If the chosen trait is increased high enough and the rest are kept below that, then it's not so difficult to get the chosen Pokémon. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't work the first time however - there is some luck involved with which questions will be asked.

The Questions

Remember that you will only be asked one question out of any Category chosen, unless your answer to a question deliberately redirects you to another question within that category. You will also only be asked questions from 8 Categories maximum before you are given the final question to determine your gender.
