Plot

After selecting a Pokémon from the personality test, the game jumps right in as the player wakes up on a beach, after a scene with their partner outside the Wigglytuff Guild with a mysterious rock with a symbol embedded on the top. The partner wants to be an explorer but can't yet join the Wigglytuff Guild due to the lack of bravery. So after the two defeat two Pokémon criminals, a Zubat and Koffing, they make a team together.

Dungeon Tips

  • If the player remains on one floor of a dungeon for too long, this will happen:
    • It will say "Something is stirring".
    • It will say "Something is approaching".
    • It will say "It's coming closer."
    • It will say "It's right near! It's gusting hard!" Then the player's character will faint.
  • Pokémon with the Float terrain ability who try to cross magma will get burned (unless they have the "All-Terrain Hiker" IQ skill or are also Fire-type).
  • Fully evolved Pokémon can be recruited in the game. However, they will have lower recruit rates.
