Plot

Blurb

You can meet and recruit Pokémon in a dungeon-crawling adventure within their world! Build a rescue team to take on mysterious, changing dungeons and strategically plan your moves as you venture forth to make the Pokémon world a safer place…and uncover your true purpose along the way.

As you recruit Pokémon, these trusty teammates will need somewhere to stay, so build camps to house, manage, and strengthen your Pokémon friends. Think hard about who is right for the job and how to approach each mysterious dungeon as you prepare a rescue team. You’ll move a single square at a time or use Auto mode to speed up movement until you engage other Pokémon in turn-based battles—but don’t forget about Pokémon strengths and weaknesses! This version adds gorgeous watercolor-inspired graphics, and more! Get comfortable in being a Pokémon, there’s a lot of work to do.

• Wake up in the world of Pokémon and uncover your true purpose
• Dungeon layouts will change each time you enter them, so you’ll likely not have the same adventure twice
• Build a rescue team to explore dungeons and engage in strategic turn-based combat
• Pokémon are available to meet and recruit
• This version adds gorgeous watercolor-inspired graphics, and more!

Features

New features

• Auto mode: Pressing the L Button will automatically move the player and their team until an enemy is approached or the button is pressed again.
• Using the A Button now selects the best move against an opponent.
• While the maximum amount for a team entering a Dungeon is 3, the player can now temporarily recruit defeated enemies until they have a party of 8. These enemies can be permanently recruited if they have not fainted when the Player escapes.
• Some new items, like the Bank Orb.
• The Makuhita Dojo has been revamped. Only one Pokémon can enter at a time, experience gained is boosted, and there is a time limit, depending on which ticket the player gives to Makuhita.
• Gummies can no longer be taken out of the Kangaskhan Storage. Instead, they are eaten at a rescue camp.
• If you make a transaction at Felicity Bank every day, Persian shall give you rewards.
• The game now autosaves per turn in the Dungeon and the game can be loaded up from the Dungeon.
• The names of the player's main character, partner, and rescue team can be changed in the main menu.
• TMs can no longer be Recycled; instead of becoming used TMs, they are destroyed. Recycle now instead changes a Plain Seed to a different Seed or an Oran Berry.
• Friend Areas and the Wigglytuff Club are replaced by rescue team camps and Wigglytuff's Camp Corner, respectively.
• Shiny Pokémon can be recruited using the Friend Bow.
• A shortcut from the Team Base to the Pelipper Post Office is created by Diglett early on in the game.
• The addition of newer cross-generational evolutionary forms of Generation I to III that were introduced in Generation IV (Mantyke, etc.) and VI (Sylveon), as well as Riolu and Lucario, the latter of which appeared in the original games as a cameo.
• Multiple Dungeons have a "strong enemy" with a different highlight. These enemies are significantly stronger than the other enemies and are guaranteed to drop a deluxe treasure box upon defeat.
• Pokémon now have Rare Qualities, which provide an added bonus outside of their ability such as: Boosting the power of linked moves, increasing recruitment rate or EXP gain, or lowering prices of Kecleon Shops.
• The accommodation size for the various Friend Camps will increase with the player's rank.
• Pokémon that were fully evolved, depending on what species it was, could not be recruited. Now, even fully evolved Pokémon can be recruited.
• In Super Mystery Dungeon, the Primal Reversions of Groudon and Kyogre could not be used by the player. These forms can be accessed by eating the Empowerment Seed.

Returning features

• As in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, the player can rescue themselves if they are defeated in a dungeon, in addition to rescuing other players.
• As in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, Pokémon can experience Mega Evolution.
• Moves from later generations, such as Foul Play and Charge Beam, are in the game.
• The pool of TMs has been changed to match that of Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.
• Treasure Boxes return, but are opened automatically upon leaving the dungeon.
• Pokémon with two Abilities no longer have both simultaneously.
• Players can switch leaders by pushing +. Unlike the original games, it can be done at any time in any dungeon (except for the first trip to Tiny Woods at the start of the game).
• Gigantic Pokémon from Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon return.
• The Toolbox's size will increase with the player's rank, similarly to games after the original Red and Blue Rescue Team.
• It is possible to recruit new members by completing missions with "a special reward" at the bottom.
• Starving Pokémon from Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon can be found within Dungeons. These Pokémon will always have a random Rare Quality given to them.

Characters

Playable characters

The player is able to choose one of the 16 returning Pokémon from the original game as their starter and partner Pokémon. However, the partner cannot be the same type as the player. The player may, as in the prior Nintendo DS titles, choose the player Pokémon using a quiz, or as in the WiiWare and Nintendo 3DS titles, choose a Pokémon themselves. Unlike the original games, the player character choices are not restricted by the player's selected gender.
