Ryuartyi: Decided to get rid of it. Seeing it on Google gave me the shivers.

'''Ryuartyi''' (Japanese: '''リュアリチィ''' ''Ryuartyi'') is a member of [[Bulbapedia]] and has been a fan of the [[Pokémon]] franchise since 1998. He is a 20 year old currently going to art school to become a concept artist and work in the video game industry. Along with concept art, he is known to be an aspiring independent comic artist.

==Departing from the Pokémon franchise==
I've been a fan of Pokémon for a long time, but I feel like I need to just stop or take a breather. So far in the year 2009 many games have been released or will be released: [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version]], [[Melee! Pokémon Scramble]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)]], and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]]. It's asinine for me to try and keep up with so many releases at once when school, other games and activities compete for my attention. The straw finally broke as I was breeding my starters and exclusives on my Diamond cart to send to Platinum. I have over 40 eggs in storage that I would have to send over to get Pokédex data for so I would have to catch 40 useless trade fodder to get them. Once SoulSilver comes out I would have to do the same thing to complete the game and that's out of the question.

If Game Freak would release games every two years or so I might be able to keep up, but with such an insane amount of monsters to catch and train and to have to do it again every year is crazy. It's nice to see so many people like this type of game play and training, competitive battling, etc, but I don't think it's for my anymore, or just right now.

I wish the best of luck to Bulbapedia and the rest of the Pokémon community. I had fun for eleven years, but it had to end sometime. If I ever feel the urge to come back, I know enough to get myself back in the game.

Farewell,

'''Ryuartyi'''

Event Pokémon

2009-03-15T23:06:01Z

Ryuartyi: Undo revision 706865 by Sivart345 (Talk) It's redundant information. Let the article speak for itself.

'''Event Pokémon''' are Pokémon that are distributed at Nintendo promotional events, such as movie premiers, expositions, festivals, places like PokéPark, real-life Pokémon Center stores and sometimes found in bonus disks or specially transferred from another game. They typically have a [[List of notable ID numbers|special OT and ID number]] indicating their authenticity and usually a [[Classic Ribbon|special promotional Ribbon]] from Generation III onward. In Generation IV, most event Pokémon are distributed in [[Poké Ball#Generation IV_Poké Balls|Cherish Ball]]s, special [[Poké Ball]]s that exist solely for event distribution. Event Pokémon are usually desired because they are hard or impossible to find in the games, holding a rare item, and/or know at least one special move that would otherwise be impossible to have via leveling up, TMs, HMs, move tutors, or even breeding.

==Generation I==
* {{p|Mew}}: Mew is obtainable only in Nintendo promotional events, historically through a direct trade. Mew can also be obtained by using the [[Mew glitch]]. The Mew glitch also enable countless other normal and rarely-seen [[Glitch|glitched Pokémon]] to be seen and captured, although some of them have been known to cause trouble to people's games.

==Generation II==
* {{p|Celebi}}: In the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}}, players could use the {{g|Mobile System}} to obtain a [[GS Ball]] as an [[event item]] which they could take to [[Ilex Forest]]. Using it at the forest's shrine would prompt an encounter where a wild {{p|Celebi}} could be encountered. 

==Generation III==
* {{p|Mew}}: The [[Old Sea Map]] e-card could be obtained from an event which could then be scanned for players of {{pkmn|Emerald}} to receive the item in-game. It could then be used to access [[Faraway Island]] where Mew could be found.
* {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}: The [[Mystic Ticket]] e-card could be obtained from an event, allowing players to access [[Navel Rock]] in-game by using the item in {{pkmn|FireRed and LeafGreen}} or Emerald. Lugia and Ho-Oh could then be found there. During the 10th Anniversary event [[List of 10th Anniversary event Pokémon#Lugia and Pikachu|Lugia]] and [[List of 10th Anniversary event Pokémon#Entei and Ho-Oh|Ho-Oh]] were given out in Europe.
* {{p|Celebi}}: A Japanese Bonus Disc for Pokémon Colosseum allows players to receive Celebi. In the United States, Celebi was distributed in the [[List of 10th Anniversary event Pokémon#Celebi and Charizard|10 Anniversary event]].
* {{p|Jirachi}}: People who pre-ordered {{pkmn|Colosseum}} would receive a bonus disk that could download a Jirachi to their GBA game. In Europe, Jirachi can be downloaded from {{pkmn|Channel}} after the game is completed. Jirachi are also given out (from 2004 on) at the [[List of Tanabata event Pokémon|annual Tanabata Festival]] in Japan.
* {{p|Deoxys}}: The [[Aurora Ticket]] e-card could be obtained in an event, allowing players to access [[Birth Island]] and battle Deoxys after completing a puzzle. Deoxys was distributed at the Houston Space Center in the United States during the 10th Anniversary [[List of 10th Anniversary event Pokémon#Space Center Deoxys|event]].

==Generation IV==
* {{p|Darkrai}}: Movie-going players of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} were given a Darkrai with the special moves {{m|Roar of Time}} and {{m|Spacial Rend}} to [[List of Nintendo event Pokémon in 2007#Movie_Darkrai|commemorate]] the movie ''[[The Rise of Darkrai|Dialga VS Palkia VS Darkrai]]''. Darkrai can also be obtained after doing a mission in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] and transferring it over to {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. This Darkrai has {{m|Dark Void}} even though it is level 50. Various stores also gave away [[Alamos Darkrai|Darkrai]] in America, Europe and [[NoK Darkrai|Korea]]. The [[Member Card]], which grants access to [[Newmoon Island]], was available for download to Japanese Platinum games via the {{wp|Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection}}.
* {{p|Shaymin}}: Movie-going players were given a Shaymin to [[List of Nintendo event Pokémon in 2008#Movie Shaymin|commemorate]] the movie, ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin]]''. In the United States, Shaymin were given out at the [[List of Nintendo event Pokémon in 2009#Toys .22R.22 Us Shaymin|Toys "R" Us event]] in February 2009. Shaymin is located at the [[Flower Paradise]] in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, which can be accessed from [[Route 224]] after obtaining [[Oak's Letter]], which is currently not legitimately obtainable.
* {{p|Arceus}}: Currently it is not possible to legitimately obtain an Arceus or the [[Azure Flute]]. In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum it is located in the [[Hall of Origin]], accessible after playing the Azure Flute atop [[Mt. Coronet]].

==Nintendo promotional event Pokémon==
Periodically, [[Nintendo]] hosts or sponsors parties and events for fans, often in connection to the premier of a new {{pkmn|game}} or {{pkmn|movie}}. They are especially notable in that certain rare [[Pokémon]] and [[item]]s in the games, as well as cards and other things, are only available for a limited time from them. The methods used to transfer Pokémon and items to a game have varied over time, and include direct [[Trade#link cable|link trading]] and physical reception from an [[Pokémon Battle e Promotional Cards|e-Card]] via [[Mystery Events]]. Wireless reception from a ''Wonder Spot'' and Nintendo Wi-FI Connection via [[Mystery Gift]] were also used. Other methods may occur in the future.

Note that all of the Pokémon with specific natures cannot have a different nature, gender, ability or shiny condition. For Pokémon obtained in [[Generation IV]], the dates do not need to be the dates the events were held. This is because the date is based on the one set on the DS.

Mystery Dungeon game mechanics

2009-03-15T21:52:01Z

Ryuartyi: Undo revision 706814 by Ht14 (Talk) They can not be stacked.

''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]'' are RPG games like the main series. However, due to the dungeon-crawling nature of ''Mystery Dungeon'', some elements of Pokémon game mechanics are either left out or used differently.

==Pokémon==
There are a number of differences between the mechanics of Pokémon in ''Mystery Dungeon'':

=== Base Stats ===
* [[Effort values]] and Individual values are not part of the ''Mystery Dungeon''. Instead, each Pokémon has a set of base stats, which increased by fixed amounts on level up. Statistics may further increase by the use of [[Gummi]]s, [[vitamin]]s, [[Sitrus Berry|Sitrus Berries]], and other similar items, and may be increased to any arbitrary amount.
* Body size is a new Pokémon trait: each Pokémon has a fixed body size. When taking a team to a dungeon, the combined body size of the Pokémon may not exceed a certain amount (at most of any dungeon, 6). Note that certain dungeons may restrict this further, including the amount of Pokémon allowed in a dungeon.
* Speed is no longer a statistic - it instead affects how many actions one can make in a turn (can be as fast as four moves per turn or as slow as once every two turns). A reduction of movement speed is considered to be a status ailment. Furthermore, {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon will have increased movement speed in snowy weather (which itself is exclusive to ''Mystery Dungeon'', not to be confused with {{m|Hail}}).
* Stat changes from [[Nature]]s are not in ''Mystery Dungeon''.
* Pokémon with two abilities will have both (instead of just one). Some abilities may be different from those from the main games:
** Activated abilities (such as {{a|Flash Fire}} or {{a|Motor Drive}}) only do so if the attacker and defender are next to each other. {{a|Trace}} will only activate when hit by an attack, and the copied ability is randomly chosen.
** Some abilities have minor changes - {{a|Torrent}} activates at 1/4 total HP, and doubles {{t|Water}}-type damage.
** Some abilties have changed to better accomodate the ''Mystery Dungeon'' environment - {{a|Intimidate}} reduces opposing Pokémon's Attack by 20%, while {{a|Huge Power}} will have a 1/3 chance of dealing 50% more damage.
** Some have changed entirely due to the different mechanics involved - {{a|Speed Boost}} increases movement speed by one level every 250 turns, while {{a|Swift Swim}} uses the same attack twice in one turn during rain.
**{{a|Truant}} only activates if a [[Wonder Orb]] or a special move is used.

=== Evolution ===
* Evolution is not done automatically - instead it must be manually triggered. This is explained in story mode as being effects of the world in danger. The ability to evolve Pokémon must be unlocked through the course of story mode (in ''Blue Rescue Team'' and ''Red Rescue Team'', {{p|Rayquaza}} must be defeated, while the [[Wigglytuff Guild]] must be defeated in ''Explorers of Time'' and ''Explorers of Darkness''). Most notably, evolution does not make a Pokémon instantly stronger, unlike the main games.
* Because of the different evolution mechanic, certain Pokémon evolutions have been modified from the main games.
** Pokémon requiring evolution by trade instead require a Link Cable.
** {{p|Feebas}} requires a Beauty Scarf to evolve to {{p|Milotic}}.
** Pokémon requiring evolution by happiness instead require that their IQ be sufficiently high (which differs depending on evolution).
** {{p|Magneton}} and {{p|Nosepass}} require a Coronet Stone to evolve to {{p|Magnezone}} and {{p|Probopass}}, respectively.
** Pokémon requiring daytime evolution instead require the [[Sun Ribbon]].
** Pokémon requiring nighttime evolution instead require the [[Lunar Ribbon]].
** {{p|Eevee}} will require a Mossy Rock to evolve into {{p|Leafeon}}, or an Icy Rock to evolve into {{p|Glaceon}}.

=== Attacks ===
* All Pokémon have standard attacks (Because of this, {{p|Shedinja}} may have more than one HP). However, they may have four special attacks. Special attacks may be linked together, wherein the linked moves are done in succession (in which case one PP is taken from each move).
* Some attacks that do specific HP damage (like {{m|SonicBoom}}) have different set HP.
* There are two attacks specific to the ''Mystery Dungeon'' series: {{m|Wide Slash}} and {{m|Vacuum-Cut}}. No Pokémon learn either naturally, but many can learn them by TM.
* In addition to the moves it learns, the tactics available to the team leader to direct its teammates is determined by its level.
* The moves available to be relearned Link Shop (operated by {{p|Gulpin}} in ''Blue Rescue Team'' and ''Red Rescue Team'' and {{p|Electivire}} in ''Explorers of Time'' and ''Explorers of Darkness'') are greatly expanded compared to the [[Move Relearner]] in the main games - Pokémon may relearn moves from its previous forms up to the level in which evolution was performed.
* {{m|Selfdestruct}} and {{m|Explosion}} will not necessarily knock out the user of the move. Instead, any team Pokémon within range (one tile for Selfdestruct, two for Explosion) will have their maximum HP cut in half, and any opposing Pokémon within range will receive 40 damage for Selfdestruct and 80 for Explosion. Note that {{type2|Fire}}s will receive half damage from these moves. Any items within range are destroyed, and any wall tiles in range are converted to floor tiles.

=== Recruitment ===
{{main|Recruitment}}
Instead of catching Pokémon, Pokémon may be recruited - to recruit a Pokémon, the team leader must be adjacent to a Pokémon when it is knocked out. Recruitment rates are different for each Pokémon, and may depend on other factors such as the level of the team leader and the presence of items. Some dungeons may prevent recruitment, while some Pokémon may be recruited by special means.

=== Miscellaneous ===
This game series introduces level 1 Pokémon, despite having not experienced this situation until the introduction of [[Generation IV]]. This may occur for wild Pokémon or guest Pokémon, and from the sequel, new Pokémon who ask to join after a mission is done. Evolved Pokémon may also be encountered at lower levels than normally possible.

==Status ailments==
{{main|Status ailments in Mystery Dungeon}}
* ''Mystery Dungeon'' introduces its own series of status ailments, in which any number may occur at once. These range from the conventional statuses (paralysis, poison, etc.) to main game "pseudo-statuses" (confusion, attraction, flinching - here called cringing, etc.). Statuses may be inflicted to account for two-turn attacks ({{m|SolarBeam}}, {{m|Sky Attack}}, etc), or moves involving lowered priority ({{m|Counter}}, {{m|Endure}}, {{m|Vital Throw}}, etc), or moves whose effects last multiple turns ({{m|Mist}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Charge}}, {{m|Perish Song}}, {{m|Taunt}}, {{m|Encore}}, etc).
* Status durations may also differ between ''Mystery Dungeon'' and the main series - most notable is that paralysis, Leg Hold (affected from {{a|Arena Trap}} or {{a|Magnet Pull}}), and most other statuses are temporary. Burn and poison remain permanent. Also, Pokémon may be affected with both sleep and paralysis, and, similar to the [[TCG]], other status ailments may replace previous ones. For instance, a poisoned Pokémon may be paralyzed.
* Pokémon will never attack themselves during confusion. However, they may move in a random direction or attack in a random direction (including hitting teammates). Note that confusion does not affect thrown items.

==Damage==
* Type affinity has been changed. Most notably, super-effective attacks will only deal 50% more damage (compared to double damage in the main games), not-effective attacks will deal 90% damage (instead of 50% as in the main games), and immunities (coined "ineffective attacks" here) deal 50% damage. However, as in the main games, Pokémon may be immune to certain status ailments based on its type (for example, {{p|Arbok}} remains immune to {{m|Toxic}}). Note that the effects of abilities remain unchanged - for example, {{type2|Ground}}attacks will still do no damage against Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}.
* Each move has an inherent critical hit rate, which may be modified with items (Scope Lens) or IQ abilities (Type-Advantage Master). {{m|Focus Energy}} ensures that the next special move will be a critical hit.
* Defeating a Pokémon without using special moves only gain half the normal experience, while defeating a Pokémon using linked moves will gain 50% more experience. Note that an opposing Pokémon using moves on itself counts for the purposes of the experience bonus, but using special moves that miss the opponent (or hit but do no damage) does not.
*If an enemy were to faint by means other than the [[party]] attacking it, the members of the party will '''not''' gain experience points. Also, if standard attacks were used against the opponent, the members will only gain half the amount of experience points given compared to using its moveset.

==Items==
*The {{b2|Oran}} and {{b2|Sitrus}} Berries play slightly different roles. Oran heals 100 HP, while Sitrus heals all HP, no matter how much the player has. Sitrus can also increase the player's total HP by 2 if eaten at full health.
*The element of hunger and IQ led to [[Food and Gummis]], respectively.
*The only human-made items are [[Max Elixir]]s and [[TM]]s. The other items are [[Wonder Orbs]] and Scarves.

===Toss items===
{{main|Toss items}}
It has been touched upon in the [[Safari Zone]] and the [[Bug-Catching Contest]], where the player is able to toss bait or throw a rock. However, in this game, throwing items result in damage. The toss items are:

*Cacnea Spike
*Corsola Twig
*Geo Pebble
*Gold Fang
*Gold Thorn
*Gravelerock
*Iron Thorn
*Rare Fossil
*Silver Spike
*Stick

The player is able to stock up to 99 of that toss item in one item space in contrast to other items, where the player may have more than 1 of the same item, but each of that item takes up an extra space.

== English VA? ==

I've been trying to figure out Staravia's english VA for a while now. The only thing known conclusively is that it's the same person who voiced Skarmory in the first Pokemon Mystery Dungeon special. I was the one who said it was Emily Jenness (Dawn's VA), only because of the process of elimination of the main cast; it definately wasn't Kayzie Rogers (Jamie Peacock), and Sarah Natochenny had said she'd only voiced Medicham and baby Kangaskahn. However, when speaking with Jenness through her MySpace, she said she hadn't played Skarmory or Staravia, either. Now recently, the 11th season credits for "Tears for Fears" included additional VAs such as Kayzie Rogers (Wobbuffet/Mime Jr.) and Emily Williams (Jenny/Zoey), even though no other humans besides the main group and Paul were in that episode. This may indicate that Williams was voicing one of the Pokemon, and the only one unaccounted for is Staravia. I don't think either of her normal characters appear in the next episode with Staravia, either, so if she's still there, it may be as good evidence as anything of her involvement. As for why she wasn't credited in season 10, it could be they just didn't bother with crediting Pokemon voices, as it was mostly the main cast and original JPN voices providing them.

Long story short, I think Emily Williams is the only reasonably possible person who could be voicing Staravia. Is it okay if I change it?
[[User:Shift|Shift]] 00:12, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
:Only one problem, William's voice sounds nothing like Staravia's. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 00:29, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

==Staraptor is Ash's only Pokémon that can be in a game spot==
That is technically wrong. (look at the trivia, near the bottom) What about Pikachu? You can get pikachu in the game like that, can't you? Anyway, it doesn't even give an example of pikachu, let alone name it!
: Pikachu doesn't count (at least in my opinion) because it was obtained prior to the Sinnoh Region. So it doesn't matter where you can find Pikachu. And in order for that trivia to be true, Ash would've had to gotten Pikachu at Mr. Backlots, the only place (as far as I know) where one can find wild Pikachu. Which is obviously not true. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 14:09, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

'''Ryuartyi''' (Japanese: '''リュアリチィ''' ''Ryuartyi'') is a member of [[Bulbapedia]] and has been a fan of the [[Pokémon]] franchise since 1998. He is a 20 year old currently going to art school to become a concept artist and work in the video game industry. Along with concept art, he is known to be an aspiring independent comic artist.

=Pokémon History=

==Pokémon Red and Blue==
In 1998 I got a blue [[Game Boy Color]] and a copy of {{g|Blue}} for Christmas; this started an interesting ride through the franchise. {{g|Blue}} wasn't my first run-in with the franchise, it was in a local Target where I saw an advertisement in a copy of Disney Adventures where there were a plethora of [[Pokémon]] under a gigantic net. The first one to catch my eye was {{p|Pidgeot}} which made me interested in the game because it was "an awesome bird".

I obtained all 151 [[Pokémon]] in the Kanto [[Pokédex]] legitimately. This is the only time I have ever completed the National Dex.

==Pokémon Gold and Silver==
This was a gift from my grandparents very my birthday. There isn't too much history with this game, only the fact that it was my last [[Pokémon]] game until {{g|Mystery Dungeon|Red Rescue Team}}. This game also harbored my only shiny [[Pokémon]], the shiny {{p|Gyarados}} from the [[Lake of Rage]].

After the main hype of the game died down, I packed up my [[Game Boy Color|Game Boy]] and gave it and my two games to my neighbor's younger son. It took me six whole years to even glance at the franchise again, but that day did come.

==Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team==
This was an odd ball. The only other [[Pokémon]] spin-off games I knew that weren't {{g|Stadium}} was {{g|Pinball}}. I had started to frequent a video game site that was a little keen on the [[Pokémon]] franchise and they had caught wind of a new game being released where you actually played as a [[Pokémon]]. To tell you the truth, I was a little intrigued by the thought of playing a Pokémon instead of being the [[Pokémon Trainer]] that was used in the normal games.

I did emulate [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon|Red Rescue Team]], and I enjoyed it. It was a little strange to start playing a game franchise that I enjoyed from my childhood, but I beat it a few times and had a decent experience. It took a while to learn all the new [[Pokémon]] that I missed from the [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|third generation]] though.

==Pokémon Diamond and Pearl==
I picked this game up along with a [[Nintendo DS]] after watching a few of Marriland's battles on YouTube. I figured since it had online battles, I'd be able to find more people to fight than just people in my community. While I was disappointed that there was no "random battle" option like many online fighting of first-person shooter games had, the online still wasn't bad.

Overall [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond]] was a decent re-introduction into the main games of the franchise. It suffered because of my lack of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|third generation game]] to transfer [[Pokémon]] from, but it didn't detract from it too much.

==Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time==

Even though this is another game from the fourth generation, it deserves a special mention in the Pokémon history part of my user page. After my decent experience with [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon|Red Rescue Team]], I decided I might as well buy the sequel, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time]]. I heard about it about a week before release and bought it on a whim. On April 20, 2008 after coming home I started to play it... 17 hours later I put my [[Nintendo DS]] down to go to sleep. I loved the story and game play so much that Pokémon became a borderline obsession for a few months afterward.

After completing the main story six times, it has gone down as my favorite game of all time. Early in 2009 I found a new copy of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team]] so I could finally have the real cartridge for [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|Explorers of Time]]'s predecessor.

'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン不思議のダンジョン時の探検隊''') and '''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン不思議のダンジョン闇の探検隊''') are a matched pair of Pokémon games for the [[Nintendo DS]].

The games are sequels to [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. They include the new [[Generation IV]] Pokémon and have some Wi-Fi features, as well as more dual-screen features than their predecessor for the same system (Mystery Dungeon Blue).

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The story begins with the {{player}} having been washed ashore by a storm. Meanwhile, the partner is nervous about joining the [[Wigglytuff Guild]], a local exploration club, and gives up early. Walking along the beach, the partner encounters the player, and informs that the player has been turned into a Pokémon. The Relic Fragment is stolen by Zubat and Koffing, members of [[Team Skull]], which the player helps recover. After a brief exchange the partner explains their motivation for joining the guild, the partner loves legend and lore and their life dream is to find what their personal treasure, the [[Relic Fragment]] belongs to. The partner, reinvigorated by the player's courage, joins the Guild as a new team with the player.

Over the next few days, the team gets accustomed to life at the Guild and the nearby [[Treasure Town]]. Among the folks they meet are {{OBP|Wigglytuff|Mystery Dungeon 2 character}}, the kindhearted Guild Leader, {{OBP|Chatot|Mystery Dungeon 2 character}}, the hot-tempered yet well-meaning second-in-command, {{p|Bidoof}}, the newest recruit prior to the team joining, the Guild chef {{p|Chimecho}} (also in charge of maintaining the team), {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Loudred}}, the Guild sentries, {{p|Dugtrio}}, maintainers of the job boards, {{p|Magnezone}}, the local sheriff, and other exploration teams. As they are introduced to the Guild, they learn of the fact that rogue Pokémon have been wreaking havoc in the world due to the disruption of time, Pokémon cannot [[evolution|evolve]], and new "Mystery Dungeons" have been revealed and open to exploration.
The player discovers not too long after that he/she has the ability to spontaneously see things in the past and future, which is known as the [[Dimensional Scream]].

=== The legend of the Time Gears ===
One stormy night, The partner finds the player and tells the player of the story of the Time Gears, the artifacts that all Pokémon are to avoid lest time stand still. When a Time Gear is stolen, time in that area is frozen. Despite this, a mysterious thief, {{OBP|Grovyle|Mystery Dungeon 2 character}}, is stealing the Time Gears.

One day, the player and partner, along with the Guild and Team Skull (as special guests), make an expedition to a location called Fogbound Lake, a lake seemingly covered in fog. Arriving there, the player recalls the place as being familiar, but cannot ascertain as to why. At the top, they find and defeat {{p|Groudon}} to find out that it was only an illusion made by the Lake Guardian {{p|Uxie}}, who is said to be able to erase the memories of all who arrive there. Uxie does not trust the Guild, fearing that they may take the Time Gear at the center of the lake, hence the reason for erasing the memories. However, after an appeal from the partner, the Guild earns Uxie's trust, and Uxie decides not to erase the memories of the Guild or the lake's treasure.

Returning home, they meet a famous explorer named {{OBP|Dusknoir|Mystery Dungeon 2 character}}, who explains that the player's ability to see through time is called the Dimensional Scream. Asking Dusknoir how the player had arrived in their condition, they surprisingly get no results. Nevertheless, Dusknoir offers their help in uncovering the secret behind the player's transformation. Just then, however, the Guild reports that the Time Gear from Fogbound Lake has been stolen, and an all-points bulletin has been posted for the arrest of Grovyle. As a result, Wigglytuff has the Guild focus their energies on bringing Grovyle to justice, to which Dusknoir also offers his assistance. The Guild splits up to look for the other Time Gears, while the player's team eventually discovers an underground lake beneath the Northern Desert, which is home to a Time Gear. The Time Gear is guarded over by {{p|Mesprit}}, which the team defeats. Just as the partner explains that they are not there to steal the Time Gear, Grovyle appears. Grovyle easily dispatches the team and the weakened Mesprit, and steals the Time Gear. Fortunately, the team and Mesprit manages to escape before they are frozen in time.

Back at the guild, the failure of the team to stop Grovyle meant that there are no leads to his next location. However, Dusknoir determines that, as Uxie is the being of knowledge, and Mesprit is the being of emotion, thus {{p|Azelf}}, the being of willpower, is likely to be guarding another Time Gear. Dusknoir further explains that as Uxie and Mesprit were encountered in lakes, Azelf is also likely to be found in a lake area. Hoping to find a lead, Dusknoir asks the player to touch a treasure that Bidoof made off with at Crystal Cave, in order to trigger a Dimensional Scream. Indeed, after touching it, the player sees a vision where Azelf is defeated at the hands of Grovyle. However, Chimecho is unsure - because the Dimensional Scream cannot tell the difference between past and future, Grovyle may have already made off with the Time Gear. Dusknoir remains confident that it is of the future, as the partner had never heard Azelf's name before Dusknoir had mentioned it. Because there is a chance that the Dimensional Scream is describing the future, the Guild decides to have all hands search the cave. The team arrives at the lake in the middle of the cave, where they find Azelf about to be defeated by Grovyle. However, just as Grovyle is about to steal the Time Gear, Azelf activates a fail-safe trap. The trap covers the lake in crystals, preventing Grovyle from going underwater and getting the Time Gear. This does not deter Grovyle, and the team is knocked unconscious and the partner is badly wounded. Before Grovyle can finish the partner off, Dusknoir appears. The team discovers that Dusknoir and Grovyle have been long acquainted, but before they can delve any further, Grovyle makes his getaway, and Dusknoir chases after the Pokémon. Just then, the Guild finds the team, and cart them back to headquarters.

Some time later, the team reawaken back at headquarters. The partner recalls the exchange between Dusknoir and Grovyle, and the information is shared with the Guild and Azelf. Just then, the Guild's emergency alarm sounds, requiring everyone to be in attendance at a town meeting. In town, they find Dusknoir, who reminds everyone that Grovyle is still at large. Dusknoir further reveals that Grovyle is a Pokémon from the future - there, Grovyle was a criminal, who fled to the past to avoid being captured. He plots to steal the Time Gears, which in turn would freeze the world in time, thus causing the planet's paralysis. Water would not flow, the sun would not rise, the seasons would not change, and darkness would cover the world. When Corphish is curious as to why Dusknoir knows all of this, Dusknoir reveals that he, too, is from the future, sent back in time to capture Grovyle and bring him to justice. The Guild and townsfolk all agree to help Dusknoir stop Grovyle. Azelf has a plan to trap Grovyle - as the Time Gear in Crystal Lake still remains, they are certain that Grovyle will return for it. In order to lure Grovyle, the townsfolk spread a false rumor that the lake trio will try to seal the Time Gear away permanently, while the trio will be defending the Time Gear, awaiting the moment to make the jump on Grovyle. Although everyone wants to help, Dusknoir insists on doing so alone as to avoid suspicion.

Some days later, a report from Magnezone arrives, indicating that Grovyle has been captured, and that Dusknoir plans to take Grovyle back to the future to face justice. To do so, Dusknoir has opened a Dimensional Hole in the middle of town square. In town, the townsfolk find the Dimensional Hole, but no sign of Dusknoir. As the lake trio explain to the partner that the Time Gears were recovered and were returned, Dusknoir appears with Grovyle and two {{p|Sableye}} guards. As Grovyle is carted off into the Dimensional Hole, Dusknoir gives his farewell. But before he steps through the portal, he asks the player's team to step forward. When they do, he suddenly grabs the team and drags them into the portal. Before the townsfolk can give chase, the Dimensional Hole closes.

=== Escape from the future ===
The player is woken up by the partner, who reveals that they have been locked in a cell. Just then, they encounter their guards - a group of Sableye. The Sableye blindfold them and take them to another room, where they find themselves bound to a pole, awaiting execution. Along with the two is Grovyle, also tied up. Dusknoir appears, giving the orders to the Sableye to execute the three. Grovyle convinces the team to cooperate - while the Sableye to attack the ropes tying them to the stake, there is a slight chance of breaking the ropes, and it may allow the three to escape. Fortunately, the ropes break free, and the three overwhelm the Sableye. This allows Grovyle to use a Luminous Orb, and take the team to safety. Back outside, Grovyle reveals that they are indeed in the future, but despite the lake trio returning the Time Gears back to their original places, the planet has been paralyzed.

Continuing to elude the Sableye, the partner loses confidence on whether they will ever return home. The player than proposes to the partner to catch up to the Grovyle, and see how he had traveled back to the past in the first place. They eventually catch up to Grovyle, and save him from the {{p|Spiritomb}} who had knocked him out earlier. Though Grovyle is reluctant to help them (because the partner still does not trust him), he proceeds to tell his side of the story. The world's paralysis dated back to the present day, with the collapse of the Temporal Tower, governed by {{p|Dialga}}, the legendary Pokémon that controls time. When the tower collapsed, Dialga lost control of time, and it too lost all control. Dialga has turned berserk, becoming [[Primal Dialga]]. Seeking only self-preservation, Primal Dialga tries to prevent history from changing, and hence its need to exterminate Grovyle and the team. The partner is visibly shocked by this revelation - and even more so when Grovyle reveals that he collected the Time Gears to prevent the tower from collapsing. Grovyle continues, claiming that the time stop by the removal of the Time Gears is merely temporary - the area affected would restart once the gears were placed in Temporal Tower. Grovyle then further revealed that Dusknoir is an agent of Primal Dialga sent to stop him and the team, and had everyone in the past played for fools.

Though the partner does not believe Grovyle, the player believes that Grovyle's assertions are reasonable, and that the partner cannot seem to accept the truth. The partner even thought of going back to the stockade and ask Dusknoir to reveal the truth. Grovyle leaves to find {{OBP|Celebi|Mystery Dungeon 2 character}}, the time-traveling Pokémon, to start his mission anew. Although the player is determined to follow Grovyle, the partner is more reluctant. Nevertheless, the partner agrees to follow, if only to find a way to return to the present. The group eventually manages to find Celebi, who replied that the player is Grovyle's friend. However, Grovyle didn't hear what Celebi said, and before the team can react, Grovyle reminds the team to get a move on. Celebi leads the group to the Passage of Time - a secret corridor spanning multiple dimensions. However, before they can go through the passage, they are stopped by Dusknoir and the Sableye, who had caught up to them. Surrounded, the group has no choice but to overpower Dusknoir and the Sableye. However, when Primal Dialga appears, Grovyle, believing that they are outmatched, has no choice but to surrender. He contends that at least hope will remain, for he had not time travelled alone before. When he first traveled back to the past, he and his partner had been separated. Dusknoir, however, believes otherwise, and forces Grovyle to tell the name of his partner - the player. The partner is surprised at this revelation - and Grovyle and Celebi are even more surprised that the player is standing with them. Grovyle refuses to believe that the player has been turned into a Pokémon, but Dusknoir had planned to eliminate the player and Grovyle, and had merely befriended the team and the Guild so as to destroy them all in one shot.

The partner is shocked by the revelation, partly because at one point he had idolized Dusknoir, and partly from sticking with the player. The partner has a plan to elude the Dusknoir and Sableye - all that is needed is to have Celebi teleport them closer to the Passage. Although Celebi recognizes that Dialga could detect them, Celebi agrees to the partner's idea. They fail to escape Dusknoir, but they get to the Passage. Celebi implores the rest of the group to leave though the Passage, leaving Dusknoir to herself. It is believed that Celebi managed to elude capture as the group returns back to the present.

=== Racing the clock ===
Arriving back to the present, the partner explains that the beach that they are in was where the player was first found. However, before the partner can lead Grovyle back to the Guild to plan their next move, he reminds them that in the present time, Grovyle is a criminal. The partner, seeing the complications this may cause, instead takes the player and Grovyle to a cliff known as Sharpedo Bluff (named as the cliff is in the shape of a {{p|Sharpedo}}), which was the home of the partner prior to joining the Guild. That night, Grovyle explains to the partner the common history between himself and the player. The player and Grovyle had been a formidable team investigating the planet's paralysis. The player had the ability to perform the Dimensional Scream, but only in the presence of a trusted partner. Grovyle further explains that the Dimensional Scream is set off by triggers tied to places where Time Gears were hidden. The partner realizes that the player had a lot of trust in them, largely due to having witnessed the Dimensional Scream. However, the partner also realizes that perhaps Dimensional Screams had worked differently in the past, as the player had experienced them in incidents unrelated to Time Gears. In any event, the three quickly agree to plot a new plan to take the Time Gears.
Later, the partner shares his story of the Relic Fragment with Grovyle. Grovyle and the partner agree that the player has a connection to the both of them - the player had made each of them stronger. The trio redoubles their efforts to retake the Time Gears, starting with the one in Treeshroud Forest, where Grovyle had found the one unguarded. However, after arriving there, they find that, despite the presence of the Time Gear, time has stopped - a sign that Temporal Tower is starting to collapse.

That night, back at Sharpedo Bluff, the partner reveals, after a fact-finding mission, that time in other places is also stopped, despite the return of the Time Gears. It appears that the only way to restore time is to take the Time Gears to Temporal Tower. This is easier said than done, though; the Tower is located in the Hidden Land, and no one knows where the Hidden Land is. Desperate, and running out of options and time, the player convinces the partner to return back to the Guild. The Guild is surprised to find that the team has returned, but is more surprised when the team reveals their story. The Guild, though shocked at the revelations brought forth by the team, agrees to help retrieve the Time Gears, and tells the lake trio to allow Grovyle to reclaim the ones they guard. The team is recommended by Wigglytuff to see {{p|Torkoal}}, the town elder, for advice on finding the Hidden Land. At the hot springs, Torkoal reveals that the Hidden Land is a place beyond the oceans, but also a place which only appears to those with sufficient "proof". However, Torkoal does not recall what is needed for such "proof". The next day, however, Torkoal arrives at the Guild Hall with one new recollection - the "proof" is an inscription of a certain pattern - the same pattern found in the Relic Fragment. What is more surprising is that that Wigglytuff and Chatot has also seen the same pattern - found in a distant place called Brine Cave, where bandits had scared the two in an earlier adventure. Nevertheless, the Guild decides to make an expedition to Brine Cave. Meanwhile, the team hears word that Grovyle has taken all the Time Gears, but warns that Dusknoir may also return from the future to hunt them down.

The next day, The Guild (without Wiggytuff) arrives at Brine Cave, where they split up to reach the innermost part, with Chatot following the team. However, partway into the cave, they are ambushed by Team Skull, who steal the Relic Fragment. Though Chatot gives chase and manages to catch them, by the time the team manages to catch up, they find both Team Skull and Chatot severely wounded, due to themselves having been ambushed by {{p|Omastar}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. After dispatching them, the team tend to Chatot. Just then, Wigglytuff and Grovyle arrive, with the rest of the Guild in tow. Wigglytuff is particularly concerned, as Chatot had been severely injured by the Omastar and Kabutops protecting Wigglytuff in their last trip to Brine Cave. Urging the team and Grovyle to continue, the Guild return home to tend to Chatot's wounds. Further in, the team discovers a rock wall pointing out to sea, on which is a wall pattern similar to the one found on the Relic Fragment. When the Relic Fragment is presented, a light shines out towards the sea. Just then, a {{p|Lapras}} arrives. At the same time, back at the Guild, Wigglytuff explains to the Guild the story of how they had previously encountered the pattern on the Relic Fragment: Chatot had been injured by Omastar and Kabutops in protecting Wigglytuff. Though Wigglytuff had fended off the Omastar and Kabutops, he had felt helpless because he could not help Chatot. Just then, Lapras had appeared to help Chatot, on the condition that they not explore the wall pattern further. Back with the team, Lapras, while ferrying the team and Grovyle, explains that she is the gatekeeper to the Hidden Land, a land that exists in a different dimension - within a moment of time. The Hidden Land is as such because Dialga had feared that interference by exploration teams or bad Pokémon could affect the flow of time. Dialga had, however, left one key to entering the Hidden Land, within the Relic Fragment. Wigglytuff had known this, and had realized that the promise to Lapras could not be kept in the interests of saving the world, and thus had set off towards Brine Cave ahead of the Guild to find Lapras. Lapras explained to Wigglytuff then that the Relic Fragment chooses who may visit the Hidden Land, and it had chosen the partner due to the partner's purity of heart. Now, it lies upon the team to explore the land and save the world.

=== Saving the world ===
Arriving at the Hidden Land, Lapras tells them that in order to reach the Temporal Tower, they must take the Rainbow Stoneship, located inside an old ruin. Finding the ruin, the partner is astounded at what they can find - pictures of legendary Pokémon {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, Dialga, and {{p|Palkia}} engraved on the wall. Proceeding further, they find a temple where, at the top, they find the Ruin Fragment pattern. The team discovers that the temple itself is the Rainbow Stoneship, and in order for the ship to operate, the Relic Fragment must be slotted in one of the indentations. But before the partner can do so, they are captured by Dusknoir and the Sableye entourage. Dusknoir takes their captives to a nearby Dimensional Hole, but before the team can be put through it, they overwhelm the Sableye, prompting Dusknoir to fight back. The team is able to defeat Dusknoir in battle, but while the partner goes to activate the Rainbow Stoneship, Dusknoir warns that should they succeed in their quest, the Pokémon of the future, including the player and Grovyle, will be erased from existence, from being from a future that will no longer exist. Grovyle admits that this is the case, but that their sacrifice is worth the trouble if it means that the future can be saved. The player accepts this fate, even though the player knows that the partner will not take it as easily as the player or Grovyle.

Meanwhile, the partner succeeds in activating the Rainbow Stoneship, but Dusknoir manages to recover and attack the player before either the player or Grovyle is on board. Just as Dusknoir tries to finish off the player, Grovyle intervenes. In a move of desperation, Grovyle pushes Dusknoir towards the Dimensional Hole, hoping that in his own sacrifice, Grovyle will erase Dusknoir from existence. Dropping the Time Gears, Grovyle pushes Dusknoir and himself through the Dimensional Hole, but not without giving his last goodbye. The partner recovers the Time Gears, and the team proceed on the Rainbow Stoneship, with the player keeping silent to the partner about his/her fate. With a heavy heart, the team head towards Temporal Tower to take on their final mission.

Arriving at the top of Temporal Tower as the tower itself is collapsing, they find a mystical relic with five indentations. Before the partner slots in the Time Gears into the indentations, the team is attacked by none other than Primal Dialga, having just gone berserk. Realizing that there is no reasoning with Primal Dialga, the team prepare to battle it out to the end. After a long battle, Primal Dialga is defeated, and the partner takes the opportunity to install the Time Gears. The earthquakes destroying the tower eventually stop, and Dialga is restored back to normal. Dialga quickly uses its powers to restore the world back to normal, though Temporal Tower remains heavily damaged. Dialga explains that the world's paralysis has been prevented with the installation of the Time Gears, and that peace has been restored. Dialga says its thanks to the team, but also warns that the world can only be back to normal in time. Dialga shows the team out of the Temporal Tower, where the Stoneship and Lapras are awaiting them for their ride home.

On the way back, the player feels the effects of being slowly erased from existence. The partner notices this, and wonders what is wrong. The player says his/her goodbyes, regretting that the partner was kept in the dark on the player's situation. The player slowly fades out of existence as the partner makes their tearful goodbye. The partner returns home, crying, but knowing that the player has made the partner stronger. Back home, the partner tells the townsfolk and the guild everything - how they had traveled across the Hidden Land, how Grovyle and the player had sacrificed themselves, and how they had saved the world.

Months have passed since the incident. The damages from time have slowly been healed, and life has returned to normal for most... but not for the partner, still mourning over the player's death. At the beach, the partner is taking a walk, when the partner is reminded of the player and their adventures together, and how now the player is gone - erased from existence. The end credits roll at this point.

After the credits, Dialga feels the partner's sorrow in the distance. Using its powers, Dialga brings the player back to life, as thanks for bringing it back in control. The player reappears at the beach, where the partner and Bidoof are crying, overjoyed to find the player alive.

=== Post-game story ===
As with Blue Rescue Team and Red Rescue Team, there is a post-credits story. Several months after the player was brought back, {{OBP|Wigglytuff|Mystery Dungeon 2 character}} decides that the team is ready for an exam to qualify for graduation from the guild (apparently only accepting one team a year). They are told to go find the treasure found in Luminous Spring, a place where Pokémon used to go to to evolve, but are also warned to avoid the "grand master of all things bad" who lives there with his minions. Although {{p|Loudred}} is not allowed to speak of the test, having taken it the year before, {{p|Ursaring}} and {{p|Teddiursa}}, two Treasure Town locals, claim of going to the springs before and meeting no such "Grand Master". Upon reaching the springs they run into Ursaring and Teddiursa and conclude that the "Grand Master" does not exist before falling into the lair of the "Grand Master", who turns out to be nothing more than Wigglytuff and the guild members (revealed by a slip up by Bidoof, who continues to deny it till the end). After finding the treasure they return and graduate, finding that the only benefit to be that they can explore on their own and change the group leader, but they still have to give most of their prize money to the guild. Having graduated, the team move their headquarters to Sharpedo Bluff.

Then, {{p|Mr. Mime}} appears in Treasure Town stating the famous explorer {{p|Scizor}} has been missing in a place called the Blizzard Island. The team pays a visit and finds Scizor frozen solid by {{p|Froslass}}. After they rescue Scizor, Scizor gives the team the 'Secret Rank' which the team and everyone else knows nothing about. This rank is used for the 7 dungeons home to the great [[Seven Treasures]].

One day, the player finds Corphish at the guild's intersection, saying to go talk to Sunflora about something. When Sunflora is found on the lower level, she says that there is a land that has recently become possible to enter. This dungeon is called the Surrounded Sea, supposedly home to hundreds of rare treasures brought by the currents that run through it. At the end of Surrounded Sea, there are three Deluxe Boxes and a Wonder Egg, along with a warp tile that will get the player out of the dungeon. The next morning, the egg hatches into a {{p|Manaphy}}. The team goes to see Chatot, who says that Manaphy are extremely rare. This makes the team take extra good care of it. A day later, the team takes Manaphy for a walk by the beach, which makes baby Manaphy incredibly happy. That night, however, when the team is asleep, Manaphy stays up and longingly stares out at the sea, eventually resorting to go to the shore. When the team finds Manaphy missing in the morning, they run around in a panic, trying to find it. They finally find it at the beach, where it suddenly keels over in the sand. Once the team reports to Chatot, the bird says that Manaphy are really supposed to grow in the ocean. However, Manaphy's current ailment could only be cured by the Phione Dew, located in Miracle Sea. At the end of the dungeon, there are six Phione, who are driven away suddenly by an enraged, treasure-seeking Gyarados. After defeating Gyarados, he runs away, and in their thanks, the Phione gives the player the Phione Dew. After Manaphy is cured after a few days of rest, a Pokémon named {{p|Walrein}} is told by Chatot to take care of Manaphy under the sea. With a tearful farewell, Manaphy is taken to its home.

After the player saves Manaphy and after a couple of days of plain jobs, Team Charm pays a visit to the guild. Team Charm consists of {{p|Lopunny}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Gardevoir}}. This trio is legendary for their rank, which is the Master Rank, and for their style of treasure hunting. A former member, surprisingly, is Wigglytuff. They came because they're stuck on a hunt for treasure because they don't have a key. They ask Wigglytuff and Wigglytuff "claims" that he doesn't have it. But just before everyone thinks Team Charm will leave, Lopunny gives Wigglytuff a Perfect Apple and Wigglytuff finds the key with a big bang from his room. When Team Charm is leaving, everyone asks if they can go to the [[Aegis Cave]], including the team. Lopunny, the leader of Team Charm, agrees and says everyone can go after they open it with the key. The treasure of Aegis Cave is guarded by 3 legendary beings, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. After defeating them, Team Charm assists the player in fighting {{p|Regigigas}}.

Later, {{p|Darkrai}} (disguised as {{p|Cresselia}}) appears in the player's dreams and tells the player that their continued existence is causing a distortion in space. On the night before going to Palkia for an explanation, Palkia itself attacks the team, spiriting them away to it's domain, the [[Spacial Rift]]. They battle Palkia for answers, but it gets trapped in a nightmare. Darkrai (still disguised as Cresseila) tries to finish off the team using Palkia, but it is stopped by another Cresselia, who reveals that the first was an impostor by the name of Darkrai, who reveals itself to be the one distorting space. Although Darkrai invites the team to stop him, Cresselia thinks it is a trap, because normally Darkrai run away when found, doing its work in the shadows and only coming out to finish the job. The team decides to heed Darkrai's call, and Darkrai reveals his plans, by stopping time or space, the world would stop and be covered in darkness, and all Pokémon would share an everlasting nightmare, in which Darkrai would rule. In addition to this, Darkrai also reveals that he had been responsible from everything right from the beginning, from the collapse of the Temporal Tower to the player's very own transformation and memory loss. Darkrai lets the team decide if they want to join him ruling the world in darkness. The player's partner decides that it's useless to resist, so he/she decides to join Darkrai, but it's not real. The player realizes this is just another illusion, and breaks free of it. With the partner back on the player's side, the team battles Darkrai and wins. Darkrai attempts to flee through a portal, but Palkia arrives and attempts to stop Darkrai from leaving by unleashing an attack on him. But instead of destroying him, he attacks the Dimensional Hole, thus erasing Darkrai's memories, much like what happened to the player. Darkrai has no more memory of his evil ambitions, and wanders the Pokémon world; his location is at that point unknown.

After Darkrai is gone, Team Raider, legendary Master Rank team, shows up on the beach after rescuing Dugtrio. It is unknown if they do anything.

Manaphy returns and joins the player's team. three days later, he tells the team about the Marine Resort and then after the team unlocks it, the player and partner can finally evolve; after recruiting Palkia in the Spacial Rift.

While Combee and Burmy are exclusive to Time and Darkness, respectively, their evolutions can be found in both versions. Mewtwo and Celebi can be obtained in the opposite version through a Wi-Fi mission.

==Version-exclusive items==
There are also certain items that are only available in certain versions.

===Exclusive to Darkness===
* Violent Seed — Boosts attack and special attack stats when eaten.
* Foe-Seal Orb — An item that affects all enemies in the room with a Paused status condition.
* Lunar Ribbon — An Item used for Pokémon that usually evolve at nighttime.

===Exclusive to Time===
* Vile Seed — Reduces defense and special defense when eaten. It should be thrown at an enemy.
* Foe-Hold Orb — An item that afflicts all enemies on the floor with the Petrified status condition.
* Sun Ribbon — An item that is used for Pokémon that usually evolve in the daytime.

==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 {{type2|Fire}}), but for {{type2|Water}} and the lake parts, it will be able to cross.
*Fully evolved Pokémon can be recruited in the game. However, they will have lower recruit rates.

==Trivia==
*This is the third game to feature the player having to delete the saved data before starting a new game, with the first two being [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions]].
*This is the second game to feature a {{shiny2}} Pokémon as part of the main storyline, with the first being the [[Generation II]] main series.
*This game is more focused on every Pokémon's gender (even the legendaries, who are believed not to have a gender). In the previous Mystery Dungeon games, the main character had a confirmed gender, but only because it was asked at the start, and very few other characters had confirmed genders.

An {{an|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|anime adaptation}} of these games has been produced.

These games feature 491 Pokémon; {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Arceus}} were excluded for they had yet to be officially revealed when the games were released. The games were released on April 20th, 2008.

[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 3|A third installment]] is in development by [[Chunsoft]] and is expected for release on April 18th, 2009 in Japan.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The story begins with the {{player}} having been washed ashore by a storm. Meanwhile, the partner is nervous about joining the [[Wigglytuff Guild]], a local exploration club, and gives up early. Walking along the beach, the partner encounters the player, and informs that the player has been turned into a Pokémon. The Relic Fragment is stolen by Zubat and Koffing, members of [[Team Skull]], which the player helps recover. After a brief exchange the partner explains their motivation for joining the guild, the partner loves legend and lore and their life dream is to find what their personal treasure, the [[Relic Fragment]] belongs to. The partner, reinvigorated by the player's courage, joins the Guild as a new team with the player.

Over the next few days, the team gets accustomed to life at the Guild and the nearby [[Treasure Town]]. Among the folks they meet are {{OBP|Wigglytuff|Mystery Dungeon 2 character}}, the kindhearted Guild Leader, {{OBP|Chatot|Mystery Dungeon 2 character}}, the hot-tempered yet well-meaning second-in-command, {{p|Bidoof}}, the newest recruit prior to the team joining, the Guild chef {{p|Chimecho}} (also in charge of maintaining the team), {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Loudred}}, the Guild sentries, {{p|Dugtrio}}, maintainers of the job boards, {{p|Magnezone}}, the local sheriff, and other exploration teams. As they are introduced to the Guild, they learn of the fact that rogue Pokémon have been wreaking havoc in the world due to the disruption of time, Pokémon cannot [[evolution|evolve]], and new "Mystery Dungeons" have been revealed and open to exploration.
The player discovers not too long after that he/she has the ability to spontaneously see things in the past and future, which is known as the [[Dimensional Scream]].

=== The legend of the Time Gears ===
One stormy night, The partner finds the player and tells the player of the story of the Time Gears, the artifacts that all Pokémon are to avoid lest time stand still. When a Time Gear is stolen, time in that area is frozen. Despite this, a mysterious thief, {{OBP|Grovyle|Mystery Dungeon 2 character}}, is stealing the Time Gears.

One day, the player and partner, along with the Guild and Team Skull (as special guests), make an expedition to a location called Fogbound Lake, a lake seemingly covered in fog. Arriving there, the player recalls the place as being familiar, but cannot ascertain as to why. At the top, they find and defeat {{p|Groudon}} to find out that it was only an illusion made by the Lake Guardian {{p|Uxie}}, who is said to be able to erase the memories of all who arrive there. Uxie does not trust the Guild, fearing that they may take the Time Gear at the center of the lake, hence the reason for erasing the memories. However, after an appeal from the partner, the Guild earns Uxie's trust, and Uxie decides not to erase the memories of the Guild or the lake's treasure.

Returning home, they meet a famous explorer named {{OBP|Dusknoir|Mystery Dungeon 2 character}}, who explains that the player's ability to see through time is called the Dimensional Scream. Asking Dusknoir how the player had arrived in their condition, they surprisingly get no results. Nevertheless, Dusknoir offers their help in uncovering the secret behind the player's transformation. Just then, however, the Guild reports that the Time Gear from Fogbound Lake has been stolen, and an all-points bulletin has been posted for the arrest of Grovyle. As a result, Wigglytuff has the Guild focus their energies on bringing Grovyle to justice, to which Dusknoir also offers his assistance. The Guild splits up to look for the other Time Gears, while the player's team eventually discovers an underground lake beneath the Northern Desert, which is home to a Time Gear. The Time Gear is guarded over by {{p|Mesprit}}, which the team defeats. Just as the partner explains that they are not there to steal the Time Gear, Grovyle appears. Grovyle easily dispatches the team and the weakened Mesprit, and steals the Time Gear. Fortunately, the team and Mesprit manages to escape before they are frozen in time.

Back at the guild, the failure of the team to stop Grovyle meant that there are no leads to his next location. However, Dusknoir determines that, as Uxie is the being of knowledge, and Mesprit is the being of emotion, thus {{p|Azelf}}, the being of willpower, is likely to be guarding another Time Gear. Dusknoir further explains that as Uxie and Mesprit were encountered in lakes, Azelf is also likely to be found in a lake area. Hoping to find a lead, Dusknoir asks the player to touch a treasure that Bidoof made off with at Crystal Cave, in order to trigger a Dimensional Scream. Indeed, after touching it, the player sees a vision where Azelf is defeated at the hands of Grovyle. However, Chimecho is unsure - because the Dimensional Scream cannot tell the difference between past and future, Grovyle may have already made off with the Time Gear. Dusknoir remains confident that it is of the future, as the partner had never heard Azelf's name before Dusknoir had mentioned it. Because there is a chance that the Dimensional Scream is describing the future, the Guild decides to have all hands search the cave. The team arrives at the lake in the middle of the cave, where they find Azelf about to be defeated by Grovyle. However, just as Grovyle is about to steal the Time Gear, Azelf activates a fail-safe trap. The trap covers the lake in crystals, preventing Grovyle from going underwater and getting the Time Gear. This does not deter Grovyle, and the team is knocked unconscious and the partner is badly wounded. Before Grovyle can finish the partner off, Dusknoir appears. The team discovers that Dusknoir and Grovyle have been long acquainted, but before they can delve any further, Grovyle makes his getaway, and Dusknoir chases after the Pokémon. Just then, the Guild finds the team, and cart them back to headquarters.

Some time later, the team reawaken back at headquarters. The partner recalls the exchange between Dusknoir and Grovyle, and the information is shared with the Guild and Azelf. Just then, the Guild's emergency alarm sounds, requiring everyone to be in attendance at a town meeting. In town, they find Dusknoir, who reminds everyone that Grovyle is still at large. Dusknoir further reveals that Grovyle is a Pokémon from the future - there, Grovyle was a criminal, who fled to the past to avoid being captured. He plots to steal the Time Gears, which in turn would freeze the world in time, thus causing the planet's paralysis. Water would not flow, the sun would not rise, the seasons would not change, and darkness would cover the world. When Corphish is curious as to why Dusknoir knows all of this, Dusknoir reveals that he, too, is from the future, sent back in time to capture Grovyle and bring him to justice. The Guild and townsfolk all agree to help Dusknoir stop Grovyle. Azelf has a plan to trap Grovyle - as the Time Gear in Crystal Lake still remains, they are certain that Grovyle will return for it. In order to lure Grovyle, the townsfolk spread a false rumor that the lake trio will try to seal the Time Gear away permanently, while the trio will be defending the Time Gear, awaiting the moment to make the jump on Grovyle. Although everyone wants to help, Dusknoir insists on doing so alone as to avoid suspicion.

Some days later, a report from Magnezone arrives, indicating that Grovyle has been captured, and that Dusknoir plans to take Grovyle back to the future to face justice. To do so, Dusknoir has opened a Dimensional Hole in the middle of town square. In town, the townsfolk find the Dimensional Hole, but no sign of Dusknoir. As the lake trio explain to the partner that the Time Gears were recovered and were returned, Dusknoir appears with Grovyle and two {{p|Sableye}} guards. As Grovyle is carted off into the Dimensional Hole, Dusknoir gives his farewell. But before he steps through the portal, he asks the player's team to step forward. When they do, he suddenly grabs the team and drags them into the portal. Before the townsfolk can give chase, the Dimensional Hole closes.

=== Escape from the future ===
The player is woken up by the partner, who reveals that they have been locked in a cell. Just then, they encounter their guards - a group of Sableye. The Sableye blindfold them and take them to another room, where they find themselves bound to a pole, awaiting execution. Along with the two is Grovyle, also tied up. Dusknoir appears, giving the orders to the Sableye to execute the three. Grovyle convinces the team to cooperate - while the Sableye to attack the ropes tying them to the stake, there is a slight chance of breaking the ropes, and it may allow the three to escape. Fortunately, the ropes break free, and the three overwhelm the Sableye. This allows Grovyle to use a Luminous Orb, and take the team to safety. Back outside, Grovyle reveals that they are indeed in the future, but despite the lake trio returning the Time Gears back to their original places, the planet has been paralyzed.

Continuing to elude the Sableye, the partner loses confidence on whether they will ever return home. The player than proposes to the partner to catch up to the Grovyle, and see how he had traveled back to the past in the first place. They eventually catch up to Grovyle, and save him from the {{p|Spiritomb}} who had knocked him out earlier. Though Grovyle is reluctant to help them (because the partner still does not trust him), he proceeds to tell his side of the story. The world's paralysis dated back to the present day, with the collapse of the Temporal Tower, governed by {{p|Dialga}}, the legendary Pokémon that controls time. When the tower collapsed, Dialga lost control of time, and it too lost all control. Dialga has turned berserk, becoming [[Primal Dialga]]. Seeking only self-preservation, Primal Dialga tries to prevent history from changing, and hence its need to exterminate Grovyle and the team. The partner is visibly shocked by this revelation - and even more so when Grovyle reveals that he collected the Time Gears to prevent the tower from collapsing. Grovyle continues, claiming that the time stop by the removal of the Time Gears is merely temporary - the area affected would restart once the gears were placed in Temporal Tower. Grovyle then further revealed that Dusknoir is an agent of Primal Dialga sent to stop him and the team, and had everyone in the past played for fools.

Though the partner does not believe Grovyle, the player believes that Grovyle's assertions are reasonable, and that the partner cannot seem to accept the truth. The partner even thought of going back to the stockade and ask Dusknoir to reveal the truth. Grovyle leaves to find {{OBP|Celebi|Mystery Dungeon 2 character}}, the time-traveling Pokémon, to start his mission anew. Although the player is determined to follow Grovyle, the partner is more reluctant. Nevertheless, the partner agrees to follow, if only to find a way to return to the present. The group eventually manages to find Celebi, who replied that the player is Grovyle's friend. However, Grovyle didn't hear what Celebi said, and before the team can react, Grovyle reminds the team to get a move on. Celebi leads the group to the Passage of Time - a secret corridor spanning multiple dimensions. However, before they can go through the passage, they are stopped by Dusknoir and the Sableye, who had caught up to them. Surrounded, the group has no choice but to overpower Dusknoir and the Sableye. However, when Primal Dialga appears, Grovyle, believing that they are outmatched, has no choice but to surrender. He contends that at least hope will remain, for he had not time travelled alone before. When he first traveled back to the past, he and his partner had been separated. Dusknoir, however, believes otherwise, and forces Grovyle to tell the name of his partner - the player. The partner is surprised at this revelation - and Grovyle and Celebi are even more surprised that the player is standing with them. Grovyle refuses to believe that the player has been turned into a Pokémon, but Dusknoir had planned to eliminate the player and Grovyle, and had merely befriended the team and the Guild so as to destroy them all in one shot.

The partner is shocked by the revelation, partly because at one point he had idolized Dusknoir, and partly from sticking with the player. The partner has a plan to elude the Dusknoir and Sableye - all that is needed is to have Celebi teleport them closer to the Passage. Although Celebi recognizes that Dialga could detect them, Celebi agrees to the partner's idea. They fail to escape Dusknoir, but they get to the Passage. Celebi implores the rest of the group to leave though the Passage, leaving Dusknoir to herself. It is believed that Celebi managed to elude capture as the group returns back to the present.

=== Racing the clock ===
Arriving back to the present, the partner explains that the beach that they are in was where the player was first found. However, before the partner can lead Grovyle back to the Guild to plan their next move, he reminds them that in the present time, Grovyle is a criminal. The partner, seeing the complications this may cause, instead takes the player and Grovyle to a cliff known as Sharpedo Bluff (named as the cliff is in the shape of a {{p|Sharpedo}}), which was the home of the partner prior to joining the Guild. That night, Grovyle explains to the partner the common history between himself and the player. The player and Grovyle had been a formidable team investigating the planet's paralysis. The player had the ability to perform the Dimensional Scream, but only in the presence of a trusted partner. Grovyle further explains that the Dimensional Scream is set off by triggers tied to places where Time Gears were hidden. The partner realizes that the player had a lot of trust in them, largely due to having witnessed the Dimensional Scream. However, the partner also realizes that perhaps Dimensional Screams had worked differently in the past, as the player had experienced them in incidents unrelated to Time Gears. In any event, the three quickly agree to plot a new plan to take the Time Gears.
Later, the partner shares his story of the Relic Fragment with Grovyle. Grovyle and the partner agree that the player has a connection to the both of them - the player had made each of them stronger. The trio redoubles their efforts to retake the Time Gears, starting with the one in Treeshroud Forest, where Grovyle had found the one unguarded. However, after arriving there, they find that, despite the presence of the Time Gear, time has stopped - a sign that Temporal Tower is starting to collapse.

That night, back at Sharpedo Bluff, the partner reveals, after a fact-finding mission, that time in other places is also stopped, despite the return of the Time Gears. It appears that the only way to restore time is to take the Time Gears to Temporal Tower. This is easier said than done, though; the Tower is located in the Hidden Land, and no one knows where the Hidden Land is. Desperate, and running out of options and time, the player convinces the partner to return back to the Guild. The Guild is surprised to find that the team has returned, but is more surprised when the team reveals their story. The Guild, though shocked at the revelations brought forth by the team, agrees to help retrieve the Time Gears, and tells the lake trio to allow Grovyle to reclaim the ones they guard. The team is recommended by Wigglytuff to see {{p|Torkoal}}, the town elder, for advice on finding the Hidden Land. At the hot springs, Torkoal reveals that the Hidden Land is a place beyond the oceans, but also a place which only appears to those with sufficient "proof". However, Torkoal does not recall what is needed for such "proof". The next day, however, Torkoal arrives at the Guild Hall with one new recollection - the "proof" is an inscription of a certain pattern - the same pattern found in the Relic Fragment. What is more surprising is that that Wigglytuff and Chatot has also seen the same pattern - found in a distant place called Brine Cave, where bandits had scared the two in an earlier adventure. Nevertheless, the Guild decides to make an expedition to Brine Cave. Meanwhile, the team hears word that Grovyle has taken all the Time Gears, but warns that Dusknoir may also return from the future to hunt them down.

The next day, The Guild (without Wiggytuff) arrives at Brine Cave, where they split up to reach the innermost part, with Chatot following the team. However, partway into the cave, they are ambushed by Team Skull, who steal the Relic Fragment. Though Chatot gives chase and manages to catch them, by the time the team manages to catch up, they find both Team Skull and Chatot severely wounded, due to themselves having been ambushed by {{p|Omastar}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. After dispatching them, the team tend to Chatot. Just then, Wigglytuff and Grovyle arrive, with the rest of the Guild in tow. Wigglytuff is particularly concerned, as Chatot had been severely injured by the Omastar and Kabutops protecting Wigglytuff in their last trip to Brine Cave. Urging the team and Grovyle to continue, the Guild return home to tend to Chatot's wounds. Further in, the team discovers a rock wall pointing out to sea, on which is a wall pattern similar to the one found on the Relic Fragment. When the Relic Fragment is presented, a light shines out towards the sea. Just then, a {{p|Lapras}} arrives. At the same time, back at the Guild, Wigglytuff explains to the Guild the story of how they had previously encountered the pattern on the Relic Fragment: Chatot had been injured by Omastar and Kabutops in protecting Wigglytuff. Though Wigglytuff had fended off the Omastar and Kabutops, he had felt helpless because he could not help Chatot. Just then, Lapras had appeared to help Chatot, on the condition that they not explore the wall pattern further. Back with the team, Lapras, while ferrying the team and Grovyle, explains that she is the gatekeeper to the Hidden Land, a land that exists in a different dimension - within a moment of time. The Hidden Land is as such because Dialga had feared that interference by exploration teams or bad Pokémon could affect the flow of time. Dialga had, however, left one key to entering the Hidden Land, within the Relic Fragment. Wigglytuff had known this, and had realized that the promise to Lapras could not be kept in the interests of saving the world, and thus had set off towards Brine Cave ahead of the Guild to find Lapras. Lapras explained to Wigglytuff then that the Relic Fragment chooses who may visit the Hidden Land, and it had chosen the partner due to the partner's purity of heart. Now, it lies upon the team to explore the land and save the world.

=== Saving the world ===
Arriving at the Hidden Land, Lapras tells them that in order to reach the Temporal Tower, they must take the Rainbow Stoneship, located inside an old ruin. Finding the ruin, the partner is astounded at what they can find - pictures of legendary Pokémon {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, Dialga, and {{p|Palkia}} engraved on the wall. Proceeding further, they find a temple where, at the top, they find the Ruin Fragment pattern. The team discovers that the temple itself is the Rainbow Stoneship, and in order for the ship to operate, the Relic Fragment must be slotted in one of the indentations. But before the partner can do so, they are captured by Dusknoir and the Sableye entourage. Dusknoir takes their captives to a nearby Dimensional Hole, but before the team can be put through it, they overwhelm the Sableye, prompting Dusknoir to fight back. The team is able to defeat Dusknoir in battle, but while the partner goes to activate the Rainbow Stoneship, Dusknoir warns that should they succeed in their quest, the Pokémon of the future, including the player and Grovyle, will be erased from existence, from being from a future that will no longer exist. Grovyle admits that this is the case, but that their sacrifice is worth the trouble if it means that the future can be saved. The player accepts this fate, even though the player knows that the partner will not take it as easily as the player or Grovyle.

Meanwhile, the partner succeeds in activating the Rainbow Stoneship, but Dusknoir manages to recover and attack the player before either the player or Grovyle is on board. Just as Dusknoir tries to finish off the player, Grovyle intervenes. In a move of desperation, Grovyle pushes Dusknoir towards the Dimensional Hole, hoping that in his own sacrifice, Grovyle will erase Dusknoir from existence. Dropping the Time Gears, Grovyle pushes Dusknoir and himself through the Dimensional Hole, but not without giving his last goodbye. The partner recovers the Time Gears, and the team proceed on the Rainbow Stoneship, with the player keeping silent to the partner about his/her fate. With a heavy heart, the team head towards Temporal Tower to take on their final mission.

Arriving at the top of Temporal Tower as the tower itself is collapsing, they find a mystical relic with five indentations. Before the partner slots in the Time Gears into the indentations, the team is attacked by none other than Primal Dialga, having just gone berserk. Realizing that there is no reasoning with Primal Dialga, the team prepare to battle it out to the end. After a long battle, Primal Dialga is defeated, and the partner takes the opportunity to install the Time Gears. The earthquakes destroying the tower eventually stop, and Dialga is restored back to normal. Dialga quickly uses its powers to restore the world back to normal, though Temporal Tower remains heavily damaged. Dialga explains that the world's paralysis has been prevented with the installation of the Time Gears, and that peace has been restored. Dialga says its thanks to the team, but also warns that the world can only be back to normal in time. Dialga shows the team out of the Temporal Tower, where the Stoneship and Lapras are awaiting them for their ride home.

On the way back, the player feels the effects of being slowly erased from existence. The partner notices this, and wonders what is wrong. The player says his/her goodbyes, regretting that the partner was kept in the dark on the player's situation. The player slowly fades out of existence as the partner makes their tearful goodbye. The partner returns home, crying, but knowing that the player has made the partner stronger. Back home, the partner tells the townsfolk and the guild everything - how they had traveled across the Hidden Land, how Grovyle and the player had sacrificed themselves, and how they had saved the world.

Months have passed since the incident. The damages from time have slowly been healed, and life has returned to normal for most... but not for the partner, still mourning over the player's death. At the beach, the partner is taking a walk, when the partner is reminded of the player and their adventures together, and how now the player is gone - erased from existence. The end credits roll at this point.

After the credits, Dialga feels the partner's sorrow in the distance. Using its powers, Dialga brings the player back to life, as thanks for bringing it back in control. The player reappears at the beach, where the partner and Bidoof are crying, overjoyed to find the player alive.

=== Post-game story ===
As with Blue Rescue Team and Red Rescue Team, there is a post-credits story. Several months after the player was brought back, {{OBP|Wigglytuff|Mystery Dungeon 2 character}} decides that the team is ready for an exam to qualify for graduation from the guild (apparently only accepting one team a year). They are told to go find the treasure found in Luminous Spring, a place where Pokémon used to go to to evolve, but are also warned to avoid the "grand master of all things bad" who lives there with his minions. Although {{p|Loudred}} is not allowed to speak of the test, having taken it the year before, {{p|Ursaring}} and {{p|Teddiursa}}, two Treasure Town locals, claim of going to the springs before and meeting no such "Grand Master". Upon reaching the springs they run into Ursaring and Teddiursa and conclude that the "Grand Master" does not exist before falling into the lair of the "Grand Master", who turns out to be nothing more than Wigglytuff and the guild members (revealed by a slip up by Bidoof, who continues to deny it till the end). After finding the treasure they return and graduate, finding that the only benefit to be that they can explore on their own and change the group leader, but they still have to give most of their prize money to the guild. Having graduated, the team move their headquarters to Sharpedo Bluff.

Then, {{p|Mr. Mime}} appears in Treasure Town stating the famous explorer {{p|Scizor}} has been missing in a place called the Blizzard Island. The team pays a visit and finds Scizor frozen solid by {{p|Froslass}}. After they rescue Scizor, Scizor gives the team the 'Secret Rank' which the team and everyone else knows nothing about. This rank is used for the 7 dungeons home to the great [[Seven Treasures]].

One day, the player finds Corphish at the guild's intersection, saying to go talk to Sunflora about something. When Sunflora is found on the lower level, she says that there is a land that has recently become possible to enter. This dungeon is called the Surrounded Sea, supposedly home to hundreds of rare treasures brought by the currents that run through it. At the end of Surrounded Sea, there are three Deluxe Boxes and a Wonder Egg, along with a warp tile that will get the player out of the dungeon. The next morning, the egg hatches into a {{p|Manaphy}}. The team goes to see Chatot, who says that Manaphy are extremely rare. This makes the team take extra good care of it. A day later, the team takes Manaphy for a walk by the beach, which makes baby Manaphy incredibly happy. That night, however, when the team is asleep, Manaphy stays up and longingly stares out at the sea, eventually resorting to go to the shore. When the team finds Manaphy missing in the morning, they run around in a panic, trying to find it. They finally find it at the beach, where it suddenly keels over in the sand. Once the team reports to Chatot, the bird says that Manaphy are really supposed to grow in the ocean. However, Manaphy's current ailment could only be cured by the Phione Dew, located in Miracle Sea. At the end of the dungeon, there are six Phione, who are driven away suddenly by an enraged, treasure-seeking Gyarados. After defeating Gyarados, he runs away, and in their thanks, the Phione gives the player the Phione Dew. After Manaphy is cured after a few days of rest, a Pokémon named {{p|Walrein}} is told by Chatot to take care of Manaphy under the sea. With a tearful farewell, Manaphy is taken to its home.

After the player saves Manaphy and after a couple of days of plain jobs, Team Charm pays a visit to the guild. Team Charm consists of {{p|Lopunny}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Gardevoir}}. This trio is legendary for their rank, which is the Master Rank, and for their style of treasure hunting. A former member, surprisingly, is Wigglytuff. They came because they're stuck on a hunt for treasure because they don't have a key. They ask Wigglytuff and Wigglytuff "claims" that he doesn't have it. But just before everyone thinks Team Charm will leave, Lopunny gives Wigglytuff a Perfect Apple and Wigglytuff finds the key with a big bang from his room. When Team Charm is leaving, everyone asks if they can go to the [[Aegis Cave]], including the team. Lopunny, the leader of Team Charm, agrees and says everyone can go after they open it with the key. The treasure of Aegis Cave is guarded by 3 legendary beings, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. After defeating them, Team Charm assists the player in fighting {{p|Regigigas}}.

Later, {{p|Darkrai}} (disguised as {{p|Cresselia}}) appears in the player's dreams and tells the player that their continued existence is causing a distortion in space. On the night before going to Palkia for an explanation, Palkia itself attacks the team, spiriting them away to it's domain, the [[Spacial Rift]]. They battle Palkia for answers, but it gets trapped in a nightmare. Darkrai (still disguised as Cresseila) tries to finish off the team using Palkia, but it is stopped by another Cresselia, who reveals that the first was an impostor by the name of Darkrai, who reveals itself to be the one distorting space. Although Darkrai invites the team to stop him, Cresselia thinks it is a trap, because normally Darkrai run away when found, doing its work in the shadows and only coming out to finish the job. The team decides to heed Darkrai's call, and Darkrai reveals his plans, by stopping time or space, the world would stop and be covered in darkness, and all Pokémon would share an everlasting nightmare, in which Darkrai would rule. In addition to this, Darkrai also reveals that he had been responsible from everything right from the beginning, from the collapse of the Temporal Tower to the player's very own transformation and memory loss. Darkrai lets the team decide if they want to join him ruling the world in darkness. The player's partner decides that it's useless to resist, so he/she decides to join Darkrai, but it's not real. The player realizes this is just another illusion, and breaks free of it. With the partner back on the player's side, the team battles Darkrai and wins. Darkrai attempts to flee through a portal, but Palkia arrives and attempts to stop Darkrai from leaving by unleashing an attack on him. But instead of destroying him, he attacks the Dimensional Hole, thus erasing Darkrai's memories, much like what happened to the player. Darkrai has no more memory of his evil ambitions, and wanders the Pokémon world; his location is at that point unknown.

After Darkrai is gone, Team Raider, legendary Master Rank team, shows up on the beach after rescuing Dugtrio. It is unknown if they do anything.

Manaphy returns and joins the player's team. three days later, he tells the team about the Marine Resort and then after the team unlocks it, the player and partner can finally evolve; after recruiting Palkia in the Spacial Rift.

There are also certain items that are only available in certain versions.

===Exclusive to Darkness===
* Violent Seed — Boosts attack and special attack stats when eaten.
* Foe-Seal Orb — An item that affects all enemies in the room with a Paused status condition.
* Lunar Ribbon — An Item used for Pokémon that usually evolve at nighttime.

===Exclusive to Time===
* Vile Seed — Reduces defense and special defense when eaten. It should be thrown at an enemy.
* Foe-Hold Orb — An item that afflicts all enemies on the floor with the Petrified status condition.
* Sun Ribbon — An item that is used for Pokémon that usually evolve in the daytime.

==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 {{type2|Fire}}), but for {{type2|Water}} and the lake parts, it will be able to cross.
*Fully evolved Pokémon can be recruited in the game. However, they will have lower recruit rates.

==Trivia==
*This is the third game to feature the player having to delete the saved data before starting a new game, with the first two being [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions]].
*This is the second game to feature a {{shiny2}} Pokémon as part of the main storyline, with the first being the [[Generation II]] main series.
*This game is more focused on every Pokémon's gender (even the legendaries, who are believed not to have a gender). In the previous Mystery Dungeon games, the main character had a confirmed gender, but only because it was asked at the start, and very few other characters had confirmed genders.

Ryuartyi:

== Title translation ==
I'd like to note that 超克の時空 means the Space-Time of Overcoming/Conquering and not the other way around. Even if it doesn't make much sense, this means that "To the Conquering of Space-Time" is wrong and Serebii.net's "Towards The Overcome's Time Space" is the only English translation that seems correct with everyone else seemingly believing PokéBeach.
I think we need to correct this before people memorize the incorrect translation that we apparently see almost everywhere.
As for whether "overcoming" or "conquering", to me "overcoming" sounds more accurate, but I can't say for sure as I'm not a native English speaker. It should be considered that the official movie website has an explanation for the word which says that it means "to overcome difficulties/pain": http://www.pokemon-movie.jp/chokoku/
--[[User:Nyoo|nYoo]] 13:19, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

:Japanese is amazing eh? Considering ''everyone'' (including Serebii) has changed it to "To the Conquering of Space-Time" (and remember, the previous translation we had was "Towards Overcoming the Space-Time Void") there's either, A: a really bad translation going around, or B: People are all getting this from one source, i.e. the movie poster. [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]] 13:53, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

::I don't see where you read "To the Conquering of Space-Time" on Serebii.net - I clearly read "Towards The Overcome's Time Space" there. Are you trying to tell us that the poster has an English version of the title? If so, would you kindly point out where exactly I can see this on the poster?! --[[User:Nyoo|nYoo]] 15:02, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
:::What I meant was that most people over there are refering to it as such and Serebii himself has said that he is busy for the holidays, so it hasn't been changed yet. This universal translation; just accept it, its tenative anyway, we get the real title in Jan. And also, I can't read a word of Japanese, but if ''hundreds'' of fans can agree on a title, that says something. [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]] 16:22, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

::::I would be willing to accept it as a universal translation, but your reasoning to call it that is pretty flawed. The number of people who can really tell whether the translation is accurate is by far less than "hundreds", most just take what is written and take it as confirmed as long as it isn't corrected. And if you say yourself that you can't read Japanese, why are you taking part in this discussion then? I mean, I don't mind your input, but you don't seem to belong to the people who can validate a translation either. It also isn't as tenative as you seem to think. Going by how Japanese movie titles have been in previous years, the title (and the logo) will be almost the same in its final version, only having a Pokémon name added to it - most likely it will be something like "超克の時空へアルセウス". And that's why we need to work out a more accurate translation as the order of words/kanji in the title can't just be a mistake, or at least it's not safe at all to assume so. Now if nobody else is interested in discussing this, I assume I shouldn't just go about changing the article and moving it. I'd be glad if someone with more knowledge of Japanese could contribute to this discussion. --[[User:Nyoo|nYoo]] 11:28, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

:::::I may not speak Japanese, but the translation Babel Fish (a very popular translation site) gives is "To the Conquering of Space-Time". Of course Babel Fish doesn't always translate well. [[User:Arceus is the Best|Arceus is the Best]] 23:20, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't like babelfish's translations, and agree with nYoo's point that "To the Conquering of Space-Time" is inaccurate, but the truth is the majority always wins. Most English-speaking Pokémon fans know this movie as "To the Conquering of Space-Time", and it would just be confusing to try and find a better translation, especially with the official one so close. [[User:Flicky|Fli]][[User talk:Flicky|cky]][[User:Flicky/Latin|1991]] 11:45, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

:: That's why redirects exist. o.o" People could still find it under "To the Conquering of Space-Time" even if the article title is different. --[[User:Nyoo|nYoo]] 03:33, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

== Arceus ==

I'll clear one thing up before I kick off the main point of the message: I fully believe that a movie featuring Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and Spear Pillar will feature Arceus. HOWEVER, in the blurb for PikaProj09 on the movie list article (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_movie) it is stated that the movie is "expected to feature Arceus." By whom? By whomever happened to write that sentence. I don't think that should be there until there is some actual proof beyond opinion. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]]
:Opinion... of 90% of the fandom. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 08:56, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
:::Yes, but does that even matter? No doubt we will have it confirmed soon, we can readd it then. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 03:20, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
:Here is a photo that could help with proving Arceus is in the movie. The pic is from pokebeach but they only outlined part of what seems to be part of the "pointed ring" that is showed in the light.I circled the other parts. Looking at it from different angles, sometimes I think i can see its ears and a small part of its head. But that's what i think i saw so i didn't circle it. You can see it very well in the first pic. Since many people say that arceus is in the movie, I'd say this is very good proof.

Sorry it is so small as soon as I enlarge it, I will upload it.

Edit:
OK, so here is the enlarged pic, I know the arceus parts are faded, but you can still see the major parts.

== Think about it...Makes sense! ==

"''The producers went to Greece in August, 2008; this confirms the basis for the movie's setting.''"
And looking at the above posts about Arceus. Now, I know a little about Myths and things, and remember how many '''gods''' they had in Greece, back in days far gone? Anyone else think that setting a movie in a place were they were once many ''Mythological Gods'' would be a good place for the so called "''God Pokémon''"? C: Just a theory. [[User:Takoto|~~Takoto]]| サソデイ 09:56, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

== New Pokemon Speculation. ==

Ok, Guys, I just want to say that, those of you still maintaining the site, I'll keep in the part on the Gen V Pokémon reveal speculation until December the 15th, only then, can we determine whether it should be kept in (As most of the info for the movie will be unveiled on that date.), if there is no mention of any Pokémon belonging to the new generation (not even showing a sihlouette, for that matter) then we must remove that tidbit.

Although, they could settle for a happy medium of sorts, something like having Cyrus appear in the movie but never in the series, and just have the Galactic admins make allusions to him in the series. I think it's pretty up-in-the-air right now; considering the fact that the previous two movies have involved members of the dragon trio without involving Cyrus, it's not like it would be impossible for them to pull off a movie featuring them and Arceus and not include Cyrus.

It was in the first two movies, is featured on the poster for this and the previous Pikachu movie. I get why you might not want it for the regular episodes but, come on now... There is really no good reason it wouldn't appear. Do you really think after all the writers have done with Piplup so far that there really going to make it skip a movie appearance?

You know, even IF I did want it to appear in the episodes, we still should wait for more information in regards to whether Piplup is actually appearing or not. For all we know, the poster could have just misled us. It's not like they haven't done that before [cough, cough, cough, cough, [[Palkia (anime)|Palkia]], [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|Sky Warrior]] poster cough, cough, cough, cough] [cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, [[Brock's Marshtomp|Mudkip]] and [[Ash's Sceptile|Treecko]] in [[Jirachi: Wish Maker|Jirachi poster]] cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough]. I won't argue that it should be erased, since, as you said, it's officially confirmed. However, for episodes, we DEFINITELY need to wait until the the previews at least before we add in Piplup. I mean, should we add in Wobbuffet in every single pokemon episode that's upcoming just because it appears in a lot of the episodes? Because that would be the same thing. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 20:50, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
:I was referring to the trailer, not the poster. Piplup was in the trailer. And Wobbuffet hasn't been in the anime for nearly 50 episodes straight without an absence. Piplup has. It's not just the number of episodes its appeared in. It's the consistency. Wobbuffet is in a lot of episodes but will be absent once every 10 or 15 episodes. Each week that passes, Piplup gets confirmed for yet another episode and some still wanna believe that its all of a sudden not going to appear next week. Besides, Wobbuffet belongs to an antagonist who are not the absolute central point of the anime like the heroes are. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 21:22, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
::Trailer is misleading too! Not every scene in the trailer are included in the movie, for instance, the Pidgeot in movie 10 trailer. I agree with Weedle.-[[User:Billy4b2004|Billy4b2004]] 05:47, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
::Meowth belonged to the Antagonists, as well, and yet that never stopped people from adding in his name before. I'm not saying that Piplup shouldn't be in any episodes, I'm actually more neutral to the debate. All I'm saying that it still needs more information. And I still don't see too much of a difference between Piplup appearing and Wobbuffet appearing. I mean, at least with Pikachu, Meowth, and up until "A Togepi Mirage", Togepi, they weren't in pokeballs, so their appearances were definitely a given. Piplup, no matter how many appearances it's made in a way similar to Pikachu and Meowth, is still a pokeball pokemon that makes multiple appearances in episodes, not unlike Wobbuffet, in one sense. Unlike Piplup, Wobbuffet still doesn't get inserted into the cast pokemon of the episode [or rather, people aren't trying to insert it in.]. Basically, what I'm saying is that we shouldn't be too hasty to add in Piplup before we have undeniable proof that it's in. I mean, I don't add in Wobbuffet to the pokemon appearing in every upcoming episode, and you don't either, so what makes Piplup any different? [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 22:22, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

:::Okay... appearently you haven't read anything I said to why Piplup should be treated different than Wobbuffet. <big><big>NEARLY 50 EPISODES STRAIGHT WITHOUT AN ABSCENCE.</big></big> That's why Piplup should be added in automatically. It be different if Piplup was absent every few episodes during this span but it wasn't. Wobbuffet has never appeared for 50 episodes without an absence. As for Meowth, he's an antagonist in himself. He really doesn't belong to anyone like Wobbuffet does. And he's actually appeared in every episode.

Guys, there's a link on the page to {{p|Arceus}}. Since there's already been THAT hint with the magazine, shouldn't the link be put there(and the page to be started) when we get something official?

First of all, I would like to point out to the comment above mentioning that Heatrans also on the poster. Also, shouldn't the title be renamed to "The Conquering of Space and Time"? There's no "To" anywhere in the text. And also, yes, Space and Time is written as Space-Time...but it should be translated to Space '''AND''' Time.

:Ash and friends arrive in a town called Michiina to see its landmark ancient ruins. Next to some of the ruins is a beautiful lake. Suddenly, a wave emerges and chases our heroes, forming into a water funnel that surrounds and engulfs them. From within, a girl's voice yells, "Dialga, I beg you!" Dialga appears. [The summary doesn't say what happens to Dialga, but it implies that the funnel dissipates, which means Dialga probably leaves.]

:The girl is named Sheena and she protects the ruins. She can also read the hearts of Pokemon. She invites Ash and friends to the ruins and explains to them a "Time and Space Law" and how Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina relate to this law. She also talks about an old myth of Michiina. The myth states that Arceus created all things and in the ancient past saved all Pokemon from a meteor...

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], Ryuartyi!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*Read over the {{bp|style primer}} before making your edits. It is a basic outline of Bulbapedia style. For a more in-depth set of rules, see the {{bp|manual of style}}.
*Keep an eye on the {{bp|Messages from the Editor}} on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either '''130''' or '''0233''' on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital '''B'''. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please {{bp|Signature policy|sign your comments}} with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{bp|link templates}} is official policy.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
*Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Ryuartyi/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
*Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
*A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

'''Ryuartyi''' (Japanese: '''リュアリチィ''' ''Ryuartyi'') is a member of [[Bulbapedia]] and has been a fan of the [[Pokémon]] franchise since 1998. He is a 19 year old currently going to art school to become a concept artist and work in the video game industry. Along with concept art, he is known to be an aspiring independent comic artist.

=Pokémon History=

==Pokémon Red and Blue==
In 1998 I got a blue [[Game Boy Color]] and a copy of {{g|Blue}} for Christmas; this started an interesting ride through the franchise. {{g|Blue}} wasn't my first run-in with the franchise, it was in a local Target where I saw an advertisement in a copy of Disney Adventures where there were a plethora of [[Pokémon]] under a gigantic net. The first one to catch my eye was {{p|Pidgeot}} which made me interested in the game because it was "an awesome bird".

I obtained all 151 [[Pokémon]] in the Kanto [[Pokédex]] legitimately. This is the only time I have ever completed the National Dex.

==Pokémon Gold and Silver==
This was a gift from my grandparents very my birthday. There isn't too much history with this game, only the fact that it was my last [[Pokémon]] game until {{g|Mystery Dungeon|Red Rescue Team}}. This game also harbored my only shiny [[Pokémon]], the shiny {{p|Gyarados}} from the [[Lake of Rage]].

After the main hype of the game died down, I packed up my [[Game Boy Color|Game Boy]] and gave it and my two games to my neighbor's younger son. It took me six whole years to even glance at the franchise again, but that day did come.

==Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team==
This was an odd ball. The only other [[Pokémon]] spin-off games I knew that weren't {{g|Stadium}} was {{g|Pinball}}. I had started to frequent a video game site that was a little keen on the [[Pokémon]] franchise and they had caught wind of a new game being released where you actually played as a [[Pokémon]]. To tell you the truth, I was a little intrigued by the thought of playing a Pokémon instead of being the [[Pokémon Trainer]] that was used in the normal games.

I did emulate [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon|Red Rescue Team]], and I enjoyed it. It was a little strange to start playing a game franchise that I enjoyed from my childhood, but I beat it a few times and had a decent experience. It took a while to learn all the new [[Pokémon]] that I missed from the [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|third generation]] though.

==Pokémon Diamond and Pearl==
I picked this game up along with a [[Nintendo DS]] after watching a few of Marriland's battles on YouTube. I figured since it had online battles, I'd be able to find more people to fight than just people in my community. While I was disappointed that there was no "random battle" option like many online fighting of first-person shooter games had, the online still wasn't bad.

Overall [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond]] was a decent re-introduction into the main games of the franchise. It suffered because of my lack of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|third generation game]] to transfer [[Pokémon]] from, but it didn't detract from it too much.

==Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time==

Even though this is another game from the fourth generation, it deserves a special mention in the Pokémon history part of my user page. After my decent experience with [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon|Red Rescue Team]], I decided I might as well buy the sequel, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time]]. I heard about it about a week before release and bought it on a whim. On April 20, 2008 after coming home I started to play it... 17 hours later I put my [[Nintendo DS]] down to go to sleep. I loved the story and game play so much that Pokémon became a borderline obsession for a few months afterward.

After completing the main story six times, it has gone down as my favorite game of all time. Early in 2009 I found a new copy of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team]] so I could finally have the real cartridge for [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|Explorers of Time]]'s predecessor.

==Pokémon Red and Blue==
In 1998 I got a blue [[Game Boy Color]] and a copy of {{g|Blue}} for Christmas; this started an interesting ride through the franchise. {{g|Blue}} wasn't my first run-in with the franchise, it was in a local Target where I saw an advertisement in a copy of Disney Adventures where there were a plethora of [[Pokémon]] under a gigantic net. The first one to catch my eye was {{p|Pidgeot}} which made me interested in the game because it was "an awesome bird".

I obtained all 151 [[Pokémon]] in the Kanto [[Pokédex]] legitimately. This is the only time I have ever completed the National Dex.

==Pokémon Gold and Silver==
This was a gift from my grandparents very my birthday. There isn't too much history with this game, only the fact that it was my last [[Pokémon]] game until {{g|Mystery Dungeon|Red Rescue Team}}. This game also harbored my only shiny [[Pokémon]], the shiny {{p|Gyarados}} from the [[Lake of Rage]].

After the main hype of the game died down, I packed up my [[Game Boy Color|Game Boy]] and gave it and my two games to my neighbor's younger son. It took me six whole years to even glance at the franchise again, but that day did come.

==Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team==
This was an odd ball. The only other [[Pokémon]] spin-off games I knew that weren't {{g|Stadium}} was {{g|Pinball}}. I had started to frequent a video game site that was a little keen on the [[Pokémon]] franchise and they had caught wind of a new game being released where you actually played as a [[Pokémon]].

The '''Distortion World''' (Japanese: '''やぶれたせかい''' ''Torn World'') is a location in {{game|Platinum}}. The Distortion World has a major impact on the game's plot as {{p|Giratina}} inhabits this world. The Distortion World is located above [[Spear Pillar]], and utilizes more of the game's 3D capabilities, as floors and walls are able to be traversed in many different angles and seem to spin around in different ways. It has floor-like sections floating at ninety-degree angles from each other, creating an effect similar to the art of {{wp|M. C. Escher}}. If Giratina is brought into the Distortion World it will assume its Origin Forme, but when it leaves the Distortion World, Giratina will change back into Altered Forme. Giratina can be changed into its Origin Forme outside of the Distortion World via the [[Type-enhancing item#Platinum Orb (Platinum Only)|Platinum Orb]].

During the {{player}}'s first trip to the Distortion World in Platinum, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}} and {{p|Uxie}} will guide them around, even helping them in the {{m|Strength}} puzzle.

==Geography==
The Distortion World is said to be another universe or world parallel to the {{g|world}}. Two known gateways to it exist: one at the top of [[Mt. Coronet]] on [[Spear Pillar]], and another in [[Turnback Cave]].

It is a dark place with floor-like sections floating at many different angles. The world disobeys the {{wp|laws of physics}}, allowing the player to walk and surf on walls in any direction. The only Pokémon known to inhabit the Distortion World is {{p|Giratina}}.

So is this truly MD3, as a sequel to MD2, or is it MD2.5, as a third version to EOT and EOD? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:58, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Understanding no Japanese, I ask if the title differs from the one we currently have. Sunday also apparently talked about some gameplay elements, and debuted Arceus on TV, but given that the release date is still a while yet, they could still be beta.

Walkthrough:Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team/Chapter 0

2009-02-25T01:01:10Z

Ryuartyi: Found a tiny mistake, sorry for the seemingly quick edits.

{{Cleanup}}

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
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.

{| {{bluetable2|lightgraybg c}}
! rowspan="2" | Pokémon
! colspan="2" | Nature/Personality
|-
| Male || Female
|-
! {{p|Bulbasaur}}
| Docile || Calm
|-
! {{p|Squirtle}}
| Jolly || Relaxed
|-
! {{p|Charmander}}
| Hardy || Brave
|-

| Impish || Hardy
|-

|-
! {{p|Mudkip}}
| Calm || Timid
|-
! {{p|Torchic}}
| Hasty || Sassy
|-
! {{p|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 [[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==
If you're looking to try to get a particular Pokemon, you should keep the following in mind:
* Remember that six of the 16 possible Pokemon are available to one gender only - you will not be able to get them if you pick the wrong gender.
* Keep in mind the personality of the Pokemon you're trying to get. You want to always answer questions that increase that personality trait.
* When you're asked a question that doesn't have an answer for your chosen personality, pick answers that increase traits you 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 you can increase your chosen trait high enough and keep the rest below that, then it's not so difficult to get your chosen Pokemon. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't work the first time however - there is some luck involved with which questions you 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.

IQ

Ryuartyi: Finished G through J. Fixed a few errors.

{{incomplete}}

'''IQ''' is a skill system in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]. By gaining IQ points, various benefits are received. It is increased by feeding [[Food and Gummis#Gummis|Gummis]] to individual Pokémon.

As a Pokémon's IQ increases, they learn a number of skills to help travelling in dungeons. IQ also takes on some of the effects that [[happiness]] has in the main series meaning that certain Pokémon require an increased IQ to evolve.

While this game mechanic is named after [[wp:Intelligence quotient|Intelligence quotient]], there is a difference between the two. When speaking to {{p|Alakazam}} or {{p|Noctowl}} in dungeons, they will mention their high IQ, regardless of how many points they have in this mechanic.

==IQ points==
While the actual IQ points of a Pokémon is a hidden number, their level of IQ is represented through the number of stars in their summary. From this, it is possible to find out the approximate range of a Pokémon's IQ number.

{| {{Bluetable|background: white; margin: auto;}}
|-
| style="background: #ccf;" | Stars
| 1
| 2
| 3
| 4
| 5

| 150
| 200
| 300
| 400
| 500
| 600
| 700
| 990
|}

The number of IQ points a Pokémon gains from each gummi depends on the type of gummi. Each is said to be preferred by a particular type. The relation of that type to the type of the Pokémon being given the gummi can be used to work out the amount of IQ points the Pokémon will gain:

{| {{Bluetable|background: white; margin: auto;}}
|- style="background: #ccf;"
! Relation to type
! IQ points gained
|-
| Matches Pokémon's type
| 7
|-
| Strong against Pokémon's type
| 4
|-
| Neutral against Pokémon's type
| 3
|-
| Weak against Pokémon's type
| 2
|-
| Ineffective against Pokémon's type
| 1
|}

In the case of dual-types, this is calculated for both types individually with the two totals then being added together. Because of this Pokémon with two types will increase their IQ at a faster rate than Pokémon with just one type. The effectiveness of a type against a Pokémon of the same type does not impact as the same type automatically gains the seven points in that case.

For an example, take a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon such as {{p|Swampert}}. A Blue (Water) Gummi will add 11 IQ points as it is a Water type (+7) and Water attacks are strong against Ground Pokémon (+4). A Yellow (Electric) Gummi will add 5 IQ points as Electric attacks are strong against Water Pokémon (+4) and ineffective against Ground Pokémon (+1).

==IQ skills==
A Pokémon's IQ skills can be checked in the menu under each individual team member at any time in dungeons or friend areas. While there are a total of 23 skills, it is only possible to have twelve active at a time. While the five skills without a group can be active simultaneously, there can only be one active skill from groups 1-7 at any time.

| Item Catcher
| All Pokémon
| The Pokémon can catch and hold a thrown item. It can’t make a catch if it is already holding an item. It also can’t catch Seeds and drink items.
|
|-
| 0
| -
| Course Checker
| Partner Pokémon
| If this Pokémon has a foe targeted for a move or a thrown item, it will check first for walls and other Pokémon that may get in the way. It will stop if there is an obstacle.
| In the case of [[move duplication|linked moves]], Course Checker will only check the first one. So if the combination is {{m|Growl}}+{{m|Razor Leaf}}, the Razor Leafs could still be wasted as it has more terrain limitations than Growl.
|-
| 0
| B
| Dedicated Traveller
| Partner Pokémon
| The Pokémon will focus on traveling. It will use moves and items less often.
| As long as moving is an option, the partner will do so and not stop to attack any nearby Pokémon.
|-
| 0
| -
| Item Master
| Partner Pokémon
| The Pokémon will use or throw its hold item.
| The main benefit of this skill is that it can be turned off to provide an extra storage space.
|-
| 0
| G
| Exclusive Move-User
| Partner Pokémon
| The Pokémon will only use moves. It will not use its regular attack.
| This can be used in conjunction with the move menu to get the partner to use a particular attack.
|-
| 5
| G
| PP Checker
| Partner Pokémon
| The Pokémon will stop using linked moves that are on the verge of delinking. It also stops using moves with no PP left.
| As it is possible to stop partners using a particular move, this can safely be switched with Exclusive Move-User when required.
|-
| 10
| B
| Efficiency Expert
| Partner Pokémon
| When battling several foes, the Pokémon will first target Pokémon with the lowest HP.
| As the weaker foes are likely to go down in one hit, this allows the leader to focus on the stronger ones without the annoyance of the attacks from the weakest.
|-
| 25
| -
| Status Checker
| Partner Pokémon
| If its target has a status problem, the Pokémon will not use moves that cause the same status problem.
|
|-

| Nontraitor
| All Pokémon
| If it becomes Confused or is Cowering, the Pokémon’s wildly thrown attacks will not hit friends.

| Temporary status conditions will usually not last beyond 3 turns with this skill.

| All Pokémon
| The Pokémon resists sleep from traps and the moves of foes.

| B
| EXP. Go-Getter

| The Pokémon’s Belly empties slower.
|

| F
| Lava Evader
| Partner Pokémon
| The Pokémon will avoid fiery lava.
| Any non-{{t|fire}} Pokémon that can travel over lava (including through later IQ skills) will get the Burn condition on stepping over it. As they would normally do it without thought, this stops the problem.

| Super Mobile
| All Pokémon
| The Pokémon gains the ability to walk on water, lava, and clouds. It can also dig its way through walls.
| Digging through walls with this skill does not increase belly consumption. Partners will tend to dig their own path so are better suited to All-Terrain Hiker.

==Evolution==
All Pokémon that evolve by happiness in the main series require an increased IQ to evolve in Mystery Dungeon. The number of IQ stars required varies between species.

{| {{Bluetable|background: white; margin: auto;}}

|}

==Moves==
The moves {{m|Frustration}} and {{m|Return}} deal set damage depending on the IQ level. With no IQ points, Return does 5HP damage while Frustration does 45HP damage. At maximum IQ, these values are reversed. While they are weak attacks in Mystery Dungeon, Frustration is useful in [[Wish Cave]], [[Joyous Tower]] and [[Purity Forest]] where the Pokémon's IQ level is temporarily reduced to 0 along with their level being temporarily reduced 1.

A select few Pokémon can learn special moves if their IQ is high enough:

==IQ groups==
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Pokémon are split into 10 IQ groups (from A to J), which affects what types of IQ skills they will learn. What follows is a list of skills and which Group they belong to. Note that some IQ skills appear in more than one group, especially those which are learnt at the start. Also, unlike in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon|first games]], every IQ skill can be turned on.

'''Aegis Cave''' is a Dungeon in {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}. It is segmented into several sections, home to each of the [[Legendary Golems]].

The player's team first enters the cave with Team Charm, consisting of Lopunny, Gardevoir, and Medicham. There are countless {{p|Unown}} in the dungeon, and defeating them will occasionally yield the player a stone shaped like the Unown they defeated. To progress further in the dungeon, '''I''', '''C''', and '''E''' stones must be collected, where they open up the room where {{p|Regice}} waits. In the second chamber, the stones '''R''', '''O''', '''C''', and '''K''' must be collected to open the room where {{p|Regirock}} awaits. In the third chamber, the stones '''S''', '''T''', '''E''', '''E''', and '''L''' must be collected to gain access to {{p|Registeel}}'s room. After progressing through the Deep Aegis Cave, the player's team and Team Charm do battle with {{p|Regigigas}} and a group of {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Bronzong}}

It should be noted that which Unown appear in which chamber is random. For instance, the first chamber contains Unown whose stones are required to unlock the other two chambers. There is no restriction against these stones being carried to the chambers in which they are needed. The stones have no practical use outside Aegis Cave, cause 60 points of damage if thrown onto a Pokémon and can be sold for 10P. Those that do not open the rooms of Regirock, Regice and Registeel have no other use at all.

Hidden Land

The '''Hidden Land''' is a Dungeon in {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}. The Hidden Land was rumored to exist for a long time, but nobody had ever found it. It is an area located in a separate dimension from the Pokémon world, and was hidden to prevent anything happening to [[Temporal Tower]], home to {{p|Dialga}}, lest the flow of time be disrupted. The only key to entering this land is the partner's Relic Fragment.

When Torkoal is asked about Hidden Land, he mentions that one needs "proof" to enter it, and that proof is of a certain marking, being the one on the Relic Fragment. When the fragment is brought to a larger marking in [[Brine Cave]], the two react and a light shines from the large marking, summoning Lapras, who ferries the player and partner to the Hidden Land. At the end of the hidden land is the Old Ruins, where the Rainbow Stoneship lies, as well as {{p|Dusknoir}}, who ambushes the party with his {{p|Sableye}}.

No Pokémon, excluding {{p|Grovyle}}, the hero, the hero's partner and {{p|Lapras}}, can enter the Hidden Land.

The floating island explored during the player and partner's visit to the future appears to be the future version of the Hidden Land, due to the Temporal Tower being there and the two landmasses having the exact same shape. Presumably, Dialga's maniacal behavior caused the Hidden Land, previously under Dialga's protection, to become visible to all.

'''Ryuartyi''' (Japanese: '''リュアリチィ''' ''Ryuartyi'') is a member of [[Bulbapedia]] and has been a fan of the [[Pokémon]] franchise since 1998. He is a 19 year old currently going to art school to become a concept artist and work in the video game industry. Along with concept art, he is known to be an aspiring independent comic artist.

=Pokémon History=

==Pokémon Red and Blue==
In 1998 I got a blue [[Game Boy Color]] and a copy of {{g|Blue}} for Christmas; this started an interesting ride through the franchise. {{g|Blue}} wasn't my first run-in with the franchise, it was in a local Target where I saw an advertisement in a copy of Disney Adventures where there were a plethora of [[Pokémon]] under a gigantic net. The first one to catch my eye was {{p|Pidgeot}} which made me interested in the game because it was "an awesome bird".

I obtained all 151 [[Pokémon]] in the Kanto [[Pokédex]] legitimately. This is the only time I have ever completed the National Dex.

==Pokémon Gold and Silver==
This was a gift from my grandparents very my birthday. There isn't too much history with this game, only the fact that it was my last [[Pokémon]] game until {{g|Mystery Dungeon|Red Rescue Team}}. This game also harbored my only shiny [[Pokémon]], the shiny {{p|Gyarados}} from the [[Lake of Rage]].

After the main hype of the game died down, I packed up my [[Game Boy Color|Game Boy]] and gave it and my two games to my neighbor's younger son. It took me six whole years to even glance at the franchise again, but that day did come.

==Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team==
This was an odd ball. The only other [[Pokémon]] spin-off games I knew that weren't {{g|Stadium}} was {{g|Pinball}}. I had started to frequent a video game site that was a little keen on the [[Pokémon]] franchise and they had caught wind of a new game being released where you actually played as a [[Pokémon]]. To tell you the truth, I was a little intrigued by the thought of playing a Pokémon instead of being the [[Pokémon Trainer|slave driver]] that was used in the normal games.

I did emulate {{g|Mystery Dungeon|Red Rescue Team}}, and I enjoyed it. It was a little strange to start playing a game franchise that I enjoyed from my childhood, but I beat it a few times and had a decent experience. It took a while to learn all the new [[Pokémon]] that I missed from the [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|third generation]] though.

==Pokémon Diamond and Pearl==
I picked this game up along with a [[Nintendo DS]] after watching a few of Marriland's battles on YouTube. I figured since it had online battles, I'd be able to find more people to fight than just people in my community. While I was disappointed that there was no "random battle" option like many online fighting of first-person shooter games had, the online still wasn't bad.

Overall {{g|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond}} was a decent re-introduction into the main games of the franchise. It suffered because of my lack of {{g|Ruby and Sapphire|third generation game}} to transfer [[Pokémon|Pokés]] from, but it didn't detract to it too much.

==Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time==

Even though this is another game from the fourth generation, it deserves a special mention in the Pokémon history part of my user page. After my decent experience with {{g|Mystery Dungeon|Red Rescue Team}}, I decided I might as well buy the sequel, {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time}}. I heard about it about a week before release and bought it on a whim. On April 20, 2008 after coming home I started to play it... 17 hours later I put my [[Nintendo DS]] down to go to sleep. I loved the story and game play so much that [[Pokémon]] became a borderline obsession for a few months afterward.

After completing the main story six times, it has gone down as my favorite game of all time. Early in 2009 I found a new copy of {{g|Mystery Dungeon|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team}} so I could finally have the real cartridge for {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2|Explorers of Time}}'s predecessor.

For the animated picture of the torn world above Mt. Coronet, where is that from? It says skip in the corner, so I'm guessing a website?--[[User:HoennMaster|--HoennMaster]] 04:19, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
:What are you talking about? The picture's neither animated nor says "skip" anywhere.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 05:26, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

This one here, which is on the article page.

[[Image:Montecorona13jun08.gif]]

--[[User:HoennMaster|--HoennMaster]] 06:50, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah... there's nothing there. That image isn't animated, and there's no text in any corner, at least not large enough to be seen. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 07:15, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

== Reverse World?==
Is the Torn World in Pokemon Platinum the same place as the [[Reverse World]] in the Movie or is that a completely different place?
They were both depicted as Giratina's Domain, so are they?
:No. We have no official proof that they are one and the same as the only way to access the Reverse World is to go to Spear PIllar and the Torn World can be accessed everywhere. That, and we still don't have proof so don't jump to conclusions. '''[[User:Optimatum|<sc>Θρtιmαtum♏</sc>]][[User talk:Optimatum|Talk]]|[[User:Optimatum/sig/Pikachu|Links]]''12:50 21 Aug 2008'''''

:According to [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]] (00:23:17), [[Mugen]] said that Reverse World simply speaking is Distortion World.--[[User:Swampert|Swampert]] 12:40, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

==Locations?==
If a Giratina from Platinum (or any Pokemon obtained in any new location) is traded to an English Diamond and Pearl, where will it say it came from in the memo? Unlike earlier generations, where it was only in English, in which they took the name of the location that it said on the memo in the game it came from (thus if it was hacked, then it could say anything) this generation allows trading across the world, and just says the English equivalent. As Nintendo of America was not working on Platinum during the production of Diamond and Pearl (or maybe Japan didn't even THINK of Platinum back then, so even in Japan, unless they worked it the way they did in Gen. 3, or rewire it like they did for the Berry glitch fix, this problem would crop up), there will BE NO equivalent, (besides, if there were, then hackers would have discovered it like they did with the Johto thing: see [[Pokémon Gold and Silver remakes]]) so unless Nintendo rewires the games like they did for the Berry glitch fix, there's no telling what could happen! [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] 16:01, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
:If they rewire the games, people will be suspicious, unless they do it in Japan for the reason explained in one of the earlier parentheses. OR MAYBE Nintendo of America planned this and made an extra in Shadows of Almia (which notably isn't coming out in America until AFTER Platinum comes out) to fix it like they did in FR/LG for the Berry glitch, but what if someone gets one of those Giratina in a trade on the GTS before that? [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] 16:07, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
::Well, only one way to find out. Porygon-Z, I choose you! Trade me your Origin Forme Giratina as soon as you get it, for my Another Forme Giratina! Then... Origin Forme-ize mine to see if it works and then we'll trade back. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 05:55, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
:::I used an Action Replay code that I found on a cheat website to get a shiny Spiritomb, and it says that it was caught in Space World. I used to figure that that could be an indication that Nintendo planned another Spaceworld event sometime in the near future, but now I'm starting to think that it may be the English name for the Torn World. Probably not, since that would mean people knew about Platinum long before it was announced, but who knows? I'll try to get a picture of it sometime soon. -- [[User:Umbee|Umbee]] 22:18, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

:::::Odd. Which brings me to wonder: what does the Sudowoodo from the Battle Frontier or a Smeargle from Artisan Cave say in RS? Obviously something caught on Route 101 says Route 101 like they do between RS games. But would it say Battle ''Tower''? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 04:42, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
::::::No. It would say Artisan Cave. In Gen. III, the location names are copied with trades, like I said. So if a Pokemon was hacked to come from, say, "Lala Land," then when it is traded it will say, "Lala Land."
:::::::What are you talking about? If a Pokemon from, say, FR/LG is traded to R/S, the location shows up as 'Met in a trade' because R/S doesn't recognize Kanto location data. For example, the Lugia in this picture, which was traded from XD to LeafGreen: [http://s40.photobucket.com/albums/e208/sophia__star/Pokemon%20Screenshots/Summary%20Screens/?action=view&current=DSCN2141.jpg] LeafGreen doesn't recognize Citadark Isle as a valid location, so it uses a location that it knows. The same appears to be true for Gen IV. -- [[User:Umbee|Umbee]] 14:53, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

==Name?==
The issue of Nintendo Official Magazine dated October, calls this the "Ruined World". Should we change this? [[User:Gywall|'''Gywall''']]([[User_talk:Gywall|Talk]]) 09:54, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

::::Australian magazine pretty much gave away every DP episode up to 100. However they called the Wallace (''Mikuri'') Cup the "Mikli" cup. Likely a poor transliteration of Mikuri by those who have no fricking idea who any of Pokémon's characters are, but still. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 04:35, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

== Magnetic Zones ==
Someone with Platinum should confirm if Mt. Coronet extends to the Ruined World - by battling and beating Giratina in the Ruined World (albeit not saving of course) with a Nosepass or Magneton which needs at least the Giratina-amount of Exp. to level up. I'm mentioning this on the Spear Pillar talk page as well. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 03:03, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

:::TTEchidna, didn't think of that. But to Tavisourse, Turnback Cave lets you return to the Ruined World - albeit a new part of it with the Platinum Orb. Giratina's area of the Ruined World is reached from the Spear Pillar. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 04:38, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
::::On second thought, because it's also reachable from Turnback Cave, it's probably not an extension of the Magnetic Zone. However, the game could have two different Ruined World areas programed, since it's a different part of the Ruined World when you go to it by Turnback Cave entrance.

::Has anywhere in a Pokémon game been called a "dungeon" properly. I know Cerulean Cave was often called the Uknown Dungeon prior to FireRed and Leaf Green.. So far, we've seen two different possible English names. Ruined World, as I stated above.. now this. In honest, I'd wait until the game sees an English release before moving it again.

== Why you can walk on walls... ==

Well, Dialga controls the one temporal dimension of this universe, and Palkia controls the three spacial ones... what if Giratina controlled the fourth spacial dimension, and the fact that Lucas/Dawn goes around walking on walls is only an illusion because we can't see/render four-dimensional objects, only a three-dimensional projection of them. A {{wp|tesseract}}'s an object whose sides are all cubes, like a cube's sides are all squares and a square's are all lines. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:35, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
:Bit of an abstract concept don't you think? Little bit more likely that physics there just operate on a different level, such as gravity being directional. In that case, Giratina would ''distort'' reality, which fits in more with it's background info, as well as the potential name from Circuit City. Besides that, there really not a whole lot of evidence for Giratina controling a fifth dimension. [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]] 02:23, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
::It makes sense to me.

== Ruined World? ==
Yeah, I read that this name was in a Nintendo Magazine. But now we have at least three English names for this place (Ruined World, Torn Dungeon and Distortion World). I think we should move the page to the official name we have yet ''Torn World''. I am doubting of this ''Ruined World'', until a very official page or magazine confirms the name. I don't think that we should trust on a magazine ''before'' an official listing. --[[User:Nick.|Nick.]], <sc>[[User talk:Nick.|something to say?]]</sc> 00:09, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
:Distortion World comes from the circuit city page, which was states as unreliable above. Torn World/Dungeon comes from a translation of the Japanese name. Ruined World was used in the official Nintendo magazine in the UK. As a result, Ruined World is the most reliable translation from a Nintendo source so far. The name will likely change with the US Platinum release, which won't take long to gather if Japanese save files {{tt|are compatible|Very likely they are}} with the US version.

I guess it's a silly question, but is the Distortion World considered part of Mt. Coronet by the game? That is, do Magneton and Nosepass evolve if leveled up within?

I figured since it had online battles, I'd be able to find more people to fight than just people in my community. While I was disappointed that there was no "random battle" option like many online fighting of first-person shooter games had, the online still wasn't bad.

Overall [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond]] was a decent re-introduction into the main games of the franchise. It suffered because of my lack of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|third generation game]] to transfer [[Pokémon|Pokés]] from, but it didn't detract to it too much.

==Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time==

Even though this is another game from the fourth generation, it deserves a special mention in the Pokémon history part of my user page. After my decent experience with [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon|Red Rescue Team]], I decided I might as well buy the sequel, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time]]. I heard about it about a week before release and bought it on a whim. On April 20, 2008 after coming home I started to play it... 17 hours later I put my [[Nintendo DS]] down to go to sleep. I loved the story and game play so much that [[Pokémon]] became a borderline obsession for a few months afterward.

After completing the main story six times, it has gone down as my favorite game of all time. Early in 2009 I found a new copy of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team]] so I could finally have the real cartridge for [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|Explorers of Time]]'s predecessor.

Ryuartyi: Got rid of a period I accidently added in while fixing.

[[Image:I'm Giselle.jpg|right|thumb|Giselle and her Cubone]]

'''Giselle''' (Japanese: '''優藤聖代''' ''Seiyo Yūtō'') is a school girl who attends a school located somewhere between [[Cerulean City]] and [[Vermilion City]]. She is a [[character of the day]] in one episode of the {{g|anime}}. Her Japanese voice actress is ''[[Yumi Tōma]]'' and her English voice actress is [[Roxanne Beck|Annie Pondel]]. Internationally, she is played by ''Gaby Ugarte'' in the Latin-American dub.

==In the anime==
In ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'' {{Ash}}, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] had met a schoolboy named {{ka|Joe}} who attended a {{g|Trainer's School}} called {{g|Tech}}. Apparently, upperclassmen at the school were bullying younger or less experienced students under the guise of "tutoring". The one responsible for this was Giselle, a pretty, popular, and highly experienced student.

Later on, Giselle shows up initially to confront and belittle Joe after a recent loss against Misty. During her talk with Joe, it becomes apparent that Giselle is actually a very mean person that particularly cares very little for young, inexperienced trainers. Misty, angry at Giselle and her stuck-up attitude, challenged her to a {{g|battle}}. Giselle defeated Misty with a {{p|Graveler}}, versus {{tp|Misty|Starmie}}, despite the disadvantage of a {{type2|Rock}} and a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon. After taunting the young [[Gym Leader]], Giselle then started to lecture her fellow students.

[[Image:Giselle.jpg|left|thumb|Giselle showing her true colors]]
Ash got angry himself and argued that {{g|training}} was more than types and levels - you need to be friends with them, too. Giselle laughed haughtily and called Ash a beginner. She teased him about having been on a journey for two months and only having two [[badge]]s and three [[Pokémon]]. She then proceeded to note that Pikachu are an awful choice for [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]], and that they're more fitting as pets for little girls, and begun to say trivia about Pikachu and its evolved form, Raichu. Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} were extremely insulted and angered, and challenged Giselle to a battle.

Giselle used a {{p|Cubone}}. Without being able to use {{type2|Electric}} moves, Ash told Pikachu to fight back in any way it could. Pikachu then began to attack Cubone with a series of random physical attacks - biting, scratching, etc. Eventually Pikachu covered Cubone's eyes with its own skull helmet and Cubone ended up knocking itself out with its own {{m|Bonemerang}} attack. Giselle was shocked by the defeat and admitted that people can't learn through books alone.

[[Team Rocket]] then tried to raid the school, but Giselle led the charge against them and got all the students to assist in chasing the criminals away. Joe and Giselle reconciled, and Joe left the school to collect badges for the {{g|League}}.

Giselle also makes an appearance in the ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga. She is apparently traveling through [[Kanto]] and catching high-rank Pokémon. She made two cameo appearances. She's seen with {{ka|Joe}} in one of them.

==Trivia==
*Giselle, to date, is the only female that Ash has found attractive enough to abandon his usual indifference towards romance. However, some might argue that some other characters have made him feel [[Shipping|this way]].
*Giselle was also the only girl younger than Brock that he found attractive during all the series.
*A Trainer based on Giselle appears in {{game|Yellow}}; a female [[Picnicker|Junior Trainer]] with a Cubone is on Route 6, which, like Pokémon Tech in the anime, is between Cerulean City and Vermilion City. She is seen talking to a [[Joe (Kanto)|male Junior Trainer with a Weepinbell]]. When the player talks to her, she would say ''I'm training for my love. Don't bother me!''.
*Giselle is one of the few characters in the anime whose Japanese name isn't spelled using {{wp|katakana}}. Instead, it is spelled in {{wp|kanji}}.
