Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team (Japanese: ポケモン不思議のダンジョン 赤の救助隊 Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team) and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team (Japanese: ポケモン不思議のダンジョン 青の救助隊 Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team) are a matched pair of Pokémon games for the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS, respectively. These games are the first two entries in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, an adaptation of the Mystery Dungeon games for Pokémon. These two games were developed by Chunsoft and were published by Nintendo. They were released in Japan on November 17, 2005, and were released in the United States on September 18, 2006. In South Korea, Red Rescue Team was never released since the Nintendo DS was the first console launched by Nintendo of Korea. Nintendo of Korea also released a demo version of Blue Rescue Team for the PC, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gold Rescue Team.

Both games were released for the Wii U Virtual Console in Europe on February 11, 2016, in Australia on February 12, 2016, in Japan on March 23, 2016, and in the United States on June 23, 2016.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon starts with the player as a human who is turned into a Pokémon. A series of questions at the start of the game determines what Pokémon the player becomes.

When the player first discovers that they are a Pokémon, they will first meet their partner who also happens to be a Pokémon. The journey begins with the player going out to find a lost Caterpie. Once this first quest is done, the journey begins in earnest.

All Pokémon from Generations I, II, and III are available in this game; all may be encountered and recruited as the player ventures across the land and through various dungeons.

The games have received adaptations in other formats through the anime episode Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate! and the manga series Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team.

In the original Japanese release of Blue Rescue Team, a bug would wipe data from any Game Boy Advance game in the Nintendo DS's second slot that was not Red Rescue Team. This was fixed in all subsequent releases.

Gameplay

Like the main Pokémon RPGs, it has two gameplay modes; unlike the main RPGs, battle mode and dungeon mode are not distinct. It is a semi-turn-based game, with each step, attack, or item use being counted as a single turn.

The size of a party is limited to four in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, compared to six in the main RPGs; furthermore, players are only able to directly control one Pokémon: their own character (or, later in the game, any other befriended Pokémon). The player's teammates are essentially autonomous, with player control being limited to general strategy such as avoiding Pokémon battles or not moving and staying in one place.

The games use movesets from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, although weather-inducing moves, Rock Tomb and Snatch are not contained in TMs.

Main story

  • The player wakes up one day in the Pokémon world, as a human turned into a Pokémon.
  • This world is suffering an imbalance in nature, with natural disasters occurring everywhere.
  • The player and their partner form a rescue team after successfully rescuing Caterpie from Tiny Woods.
  • Soon after, they rescue two Magnemite from Thunderwave Cave, one of which joins the team.
  • The player and co. save a Diglett from a Skarmory on Mt. Steel.

  • A Jumpluff is stuck at Silent Chasm. Shiftry is asked to go. When he doesn't return the team goes down to rescue Shiftry.
  • After Zapdos kidnaps Shiftry, the player must fight it at the top of Mt. Thunder.
  • The player consults Xatu for an explanation of their presence in this world as a Pokémon at Great Canyon.
  • The player learns of the legend of Ninetales: one day, a human angered a Ninetales and was cursed, however, his/her Gardevoir took the curse upon herself to save her master. However, the human selfishly deserts the cursed Gardevoir. Ninetales prophesises that the selfish human would be reborn as a Pokémon, and when that happens, the balance of nature in the world would collapse.
  • Gengar convinces the Pokémon that the player is the selfish human in the legend of Ninetales, and they decide to run them out of town.
  • To escape their pursuers the team pass through Lapis Cave and then Mt. Blaze, where they encounter Moltres.
  • The team enters Frosty Forest and is attacked by Articuno, who blames the player for bringing natural disasters to its forest. An Absol steps in and stops the fighting, then joins the rescue team.
  • The player reaches Mt. Freeze and meets the Ninetales of the legend. The player discovers that while part of the legend is true, and the selfish human from the legend is alive, it is not the player.
  • The player returns to the town, and Gengar is discredited. Meanwhile Team A.C.T. goes to the Magma Caverns to defeat Groudon.
  • Wynaut and Wobbuffet ask the player to go defeat the Mankey gang in the Uproar Forest. In return, they offer a peeled Chestnut, which is in turn used to convince the Mankey gang to help renovate the Team Base.
  • Team A.C.T. does not return, and a new team, consisting of Blastoise, Octillery and Golem, is formed to go rescue them.
  • The new team is also defeated. The player goes to Magma Cavern themselves to rescue Team A.C.T.
  • After defeating Groudon, Xatu announces that a falling star is headed towards the planet, and that it is the meteor that is causing the imbalance in nature.
  • Gardevoir reveals to the player, in a dream, the true reason for his/her transformation: the player was destined to be the savior of the Pokémon world; the player decided to erase the memories of being a human in order to cleanse the heart and mind.
  • The player goes to find Rayquaza at Sky Tower in order to convince it to destroy the falling star.
  • Rayquaza's Hyper Beam destroys the meteorite. However, the player ends up in the netherworld in the aftermath of the explosion; Gengar helps them return to the Pokémon world.
  • As the Pokémon celebrate the end of the calamities, the player says farewell and leaves to return to the human world.
  • After the credits roll, the player decides to remain in the Pokémon world, and reappears at the Team Base.

Epilogue

  • The player gains entrance to Luminous Cave.
  • After talking to Medicham, Lombre and Whiscash in order, the player goes to Stormy Sea and defeats Kyogre.

  • After getting HM Surf in the Solar Cave, Spinda walks into Pokémon Square and collapses. The player and their partner take him back to their rescue base.
  • Spinda reveals he was looking for the mirage Pokémon, but doesn't know what it is. He gives the player the Clear Wing, then leaves and stays in Pokémon Square for a while.
  • The player's partner suggests that they go and speak to Xatu.
  • Upon reaching the top of the Great Canyon, Xatu reveals that the player must first go to the three fields and face the Lords of those areas (the Legendary beasts).
  • After clearing the Fiery Field and defeating Entei, Entei turns the Clear Wing into the Red Wing.
  • After clearing the Lightning Field and defeating Raikou, Raikou turns the Red Wing into the Sunset Wing.
  • After clearing the Northwind Field and defeating Suicune, Suicune turns the Sunset Wing into the Rainbow Wing, and Mt. Faraway is unlocked.
  • Once the player clears Mt. Faraway and defeats the Mirage Pokémon, the player can go back to the Fields and Mt. Faraway to recruit the legendary beasts and Ho-Oh (if their Friend Areas have been opened).
  • If the player goes back to Pokémon Square and talks to Spinda, it will leave, encouraged to go exploring again.
  • After getting the Southern Island Friend Area and obtaining Surf from Solar Cave, a flying Pokémon steals the TMs from Kecleon Wares and flees to the Northern Range. The player follows it and defeats the Pokémon, revealed to be Latios.
  • Latios is revealed to have stolen the TMs because of losing Latias in Pitfall Valley. The player saves her there using the Teleport Gem. Both Eon Pokémon may join the player's team afterwards.
  • Medicham and Ekans go to the Wish Cave to try to grant wishes for themselves.

  • Gengar reveals himself to be the selfish human in the legend of Ninetales, and is the master of Gardevoir.
  • Ninetales gives Gengar the Nine Tail Crest, and sends him to Murky Cave.
  • The player and Gengar go rescue Gardevoir. Gardevoir then offers to join the player's rescue team, but it has lost all its memory relating to Gengar.
  • Once the player goes back and recruits Ho-Oh, a cutscene will be shown showing Blastoise and Charizard being KO'd by an incredibly strong Pokémon in an extremely tough dungeon.
  • When the player goes through the dungeon, the Pokémon is revealed as Mewtwo.
  • If the player has the Friend Area Cryptic Cave, Mewtwo will ask to join the player's rescue team second time through the dungeon if the player defeats Mewtwo.
  • After recruiting all of the legendary birds, the player talks to Alakazam. The player then goes to Legendary Island and Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres will grant access to Silver Trench.
  • After recruiting Lugia, Xatu will appear outside the Team base. After that, Blastoise will come and say that he saw a cave and saw "weird things". Xatu will then name the place Meteor Cave. Then, the player will gain access to it. The player may recruit Deoxys in the Meteor Cave.

Blurb

What if you woke up one day, and you were a Pokémon? What if all of a sudden you find yourself in a NEW world, where you can speak and interact with other Pokémon? The adventure begins when you and your partner Pokémon set out on rescue missions in a world ravaged by natural disasters. But what is your true purpose and destiny in this Pokémon world? That's the REAL mystery....

Characters

Playable characters

In the beginning of the game, the player takes a quiz. The answers to these questions determine a nature that decides which Pokémon the player starts with. Certain characters are only available to players of a certain gender.

Connectivity

Unknown Dungeon

Main article: Unknown Dungeon (Mystery Dungeon)

A player with Blue Rescue Team can go to an Unknown Dungeon (found as an option on the main screen) through wireless communication with another player. When both players have contacted each other, they should close their DS and wait till they automatically finish a random dungeon and return an item and sometimes recruit a Pokémon. The player can open his/her DS whenever they want even if the other player has already opened his/hers. Items received are usually rare. The player can go to the Unknown Dungeon how many times he/she likes, as long as the player has another player to communicate with.

Rescuing

The player can also go rescue another player who has fainted in a dungeon and prefers to await a rescue. The player can rescue from the title screen, or through Pelipper Post Office. The player should receive an SOS Mail from the other player through Wireless Mode or through a Password. When the player has received the SOS Mail, he/she can go rescue anytime he/she wants. The player can go rescue by talking with Pelipper in the Post Office. However, the player who's awaiting rescue can cancel the wait. But the player who has already gotten the SOS Mail can rescue the other player and get a reward from Pelipper instead.

Being rescued

When the player faints in a certain dungeon, he/she can choose to send an SOS Mail to another player. While awaiting rescue, the player can explore on his/her current unlocked dungeons and can store items and Poké after completing the dungeon. The player can also organize his/her team members. The player is rescued when he/she receive an A-OK Mail. The player then may continue his/her exploration from the spot where he/she fainted. All items and Poké are restored. After the player completes or escapes from the dungeon, he/she may optionally (but recommended) go to Pelipper Post Office, or from the title screen, to send a Thank-You Mail in thanks for the rescue. The player may also choose whether or not to reward the rescuer with one of his/her items.

Pokémon Trozei!

The wireless communications function can be used to communicate with Pokémon Trozei! along with other copies of Blue Rescue Team. Prize coins are awarded to the copy of Trozei! while an item is awarded to the copy of Blue Rescue Team.[8][9][10]
