Personality Quiz (Mystery Dungeon)

It has been suggested that this article be moved to Personality quiz.
Please discuss whether or not to move it on its talk page.
This article, along with several pictures in it, is incomplete and unsatisfactory.
Please feel free to edit this article to complete it, replace the pictures, and make it conform to Bulbapedia norms and conventions.
Reason: A few fact checks, tables for the questionnaires to allow better visual clarity, screenshots of the quiz in each game, and dialogue portraits from RTDX to make its Pokémon table consistent with the others.

Most games in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series begin with a personality quiz[1] to determine the player's Nature. This, along with the player's gender, determines the species of the player character, the hero Pokémon (and, in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, the partner Pokémon as well).

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity and the WiiWare titles, the personality quiz is absent; in these games, the species of the player character is manually chosen by the player.

After answering the questions and choosing their gender, the player is asked to place their finger on the Touch Screen to determine the color of their aura; this is used to determine the color of Bow that is included in the Pokémon Exploration Team Kit. In reality, the aura color is decided upon based on either the player's favorite color in the DS system settings (75%) or the DS system's MAC address (25%). Afterwards, the player's Nature and Pokémon are revealed.

Questions

The game always starts off with:

  • "Did you play Explorers of Time or Explorers of Darkness?"

This does not give any personality points by itself, but if "Yes" is answered, certain Natures will have points added to them after the player has chosen their gender. These correspond to the new choices of Pokémon available in Explorers of Sky - Phanpy, Shinx, and Riolu if male; Vulpix and Eevee if female.

Additionally, the following Pokémon's base recruit rate will be doubled as long as the player has not recruited them already. Most of these can be found in dungeons found at various points of the main story; Pokémon marked with a dagger (†) can be recruited only after the credits roll, while Feraligatr (§) has special conditions. Furthermore, Porygon2, Rampardos, Bastiodon and Bronzong internally use these doubled rates, but cannot be found in any dungeons that allow for recruitment.

After the seventh or eighth question, the partner's species is revealed.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, Pokémon that were previously only available for one particular gender in Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team are now possible results for players of both genders. As a result, several Nature/gender combinations have two Pokémon associated with them; in the event of such a combination occurring, a Pokémon is selected between the two at random. Like in Super Mystery Dungeon, the player is given the option to decline the Pokémon they are given and instead manually chose the hero's species.

Questions

As with the original Rescue Team games, the player will be asked 8 questions, each from a different, randomly-chosen category, in addition to a ninth that determines the hero's gender. The exception with the "alien invasion" follow-up question remains as before.

All of the questions from the original Rescue Team games reappear in Rescue Team DX, though a small number were given formatting or wording changes - most significantly, the final question now asks about the player character's gender, rather than the player's own.
