Pokemon 101
What are Pokemon? Pokemon come I all shapes and sizes. Each Pokemon has one or two types of moves (such as Grass, Fire or Water) which it uses in battle. Pokemon also develop their own personalities, likes and dislikes ? just like humans do. Pokemon and humans have learned to live and work together in harmony to create a better life for all.

Pokemon grow and evolve in different ways. When Pokemon travel with a Pokemon trainer, they gain experience from battling other Pokemon and other trainers. Pokemon can also gain experience by staying at the Pokemon daycare, but nothing beats first-hand battle experience. All Pokemon have one or two innate element types. Pokemon types reflect the strengths and weaknesses as well as the environments they originated from. For example Fire-type Pokemon are often found near hot environments, excel in fire-type moves and are weak against Water-type moves. If you know what type of Pokemon your opponent is using, it is usually a good strategy to use the opposing type. Gym leaders and trainers always use one or two Pokemon types. Like most creatures, Pokemon live in environments suited to their needs. A skilled Pokemon trainer will search everywhere for Pokemon and learn where to find different types. Some Pokemon are more elusive than others. You will need key items such as a fishing pole to catch some Pokemon.

Starting out in the game you find yourself transformed into a Pokemon! After taking a Pokemon personality test the form of your Pokemon will be revealed. Washed ashore on the beach a fellow Pokemon is beside you asking for your help in finding lost treasure. You can form rescue teams to discover the mystery around your transformation as you hunt for lost treasure along the way. Explore this fantastic land untouched by human hands as you join hundreds of Pokemon in randomly-generated dungeons.

Utilizing the Wi-fi connection feature enables players to rescue each other or send out your own SOS for help. With 16 available playable Pokemon including Chimarchar, Munchlax, Piplup as well as previous Pokemons including Pikachu, Squirtle, and Charmander the fun never stops! Keep a keen eye out for familiar faces from Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl as well. With over 490 Pokemon and non-repeating dungeons this game ensure infinite exploration. Explore long-lost dungeons or hunt down criminal Pokemon. The choice is yours in this open-ended game.

For years you've captured, traded and battled with them; now it's time once again to become a Pokemon yourself! It's time to join the adventures of Treasure Town.

Fans of the two previous Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, will marvel at the greatly enhanced graphics, new story and grand adventure in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness. For Game Boy Advance owners, the fresh look and wireless aspects of these new Pokemon titles provide even more reasons to upgrade to Nintendo DS. And best of all for budget-conscious parents, Nintendo DS is also able to play the entire library of Game Boy Advance games.

You can also save and share your Pokemon photos with friends via the Wii message board. You can challenge them to see who's captured the best Pokemon poses!

5 out of 5 stars the best pokemon DS game   August 18, 2008
pokemon mystery dungeon is a great game if you like mysteries. pokemon mystery dungeon can be sad like when pokemon disapear thier is happy parts of the game too. you might want to be able to read to read to realy like the game alot.


4 out of 5 stars What an amazing game!   August 13, 2008
I recently got Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of time, and it was so awesome! I was so into the story, I couldn't put my DS down! In fact, I ended up completing the game in 2 days... Much, much better than the previous one in my opinion. The story is very interesting and touching, it gets a bit emotional at times.

My ratings:

Fun: 5/5. This game provided me with hours and hours of fun, as I explored and tried to solve the mystery of why I became a pokemon.

Graphics: 5/5. Everywhere we explored was simply beautiful, especially fogbound lake. I was completely captivated by the graphics.

Sound: 5/5. This game had wonderful music, that seemed to fit the mood, wether we were in a moment of deep trouble, or my partner and i were just having one of those emotional moments.

Dungeons: 3/5. There are many great dungeons to explore on this game, but however I was not pleased about the dungeon that reduces you to level 1 while you are exploring it. It's like throwing away all your hard work, and giving it back once you leave the dungeon. This is one of the few things I found disappointing about this game.

Ideas: 5/5. I was thrilled when I found out I would be part of a guild rather than being an individual rescue team. The guildmaster would always make me laugh, no matter how tight our situation was. It was a bit upsetting when I graduated from the guild and didn't live there anymore, though :( Also, I also loved that every night we would eat dinner, and watching all those pokemon chow down is always entertaining. After you beat the game, however, it gets a bit repetitive. Overall, the whole idea of the game was very unique and I enjoyed it a lot.

Differences from the previous mystery dungeon games: 2/5. I was a little upset that you still have to worry about getting hungry in the dungeons. The apples just take up space in your treasure bag. Also, the variety of pokemon you could start as in the beginning wasn't great. I started as Munchlax. I loved how in the first mystery dungeon games, you could be an Eevee. I really wish you could still be an Eevee. The pokemon you can start as are: All of the starters (Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander, Chikorita, Totodile, Cyndaquil, Treeko, Mudkip, Torchic, Turtwig, Piplup, Chimchar), Pikachu, Meowth, Skitty, and Munchlax. I could tell the makers definatly tried to improve the game, but besides the better story line, i didn't think it was that improved.

New Foes: 5/5. I actually enjoyed chasing after team Skull, as they were incredibly easy to beat and ended up having a little good in them. I found them much better than Team Meanies in the previous games. Not to mention you can tell Team Skull put a lot more thought into their team name :P

Overall: 4/5. This game is great for most people, but some people said they thought it was a bit sappy. I guess it's just my personality, but I liked the 'sappy' moments. If you loved the last pokemon mystery game, you will most likely LOVE this one. If you didn't like the previous game, then you just might find this one a bit better, as it has a much more complicated story line, and it includes Diamond and Pearl pokemon.



5 out of 5 stars Even Better Than Previous PMDs!   July 4, 2008
This game was given to me for my birthday, and I had extremely high expectations for it. Fortunately, I was not disappointed. This game had an enchanting storyline to go along with the vivid graphics and characters. Like with Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red and Blue, it has a sad ending, but with a joyous conclusion. Throughout the game are twists and turns so amazing that you can't be sure what to think, or who to trust.
The only problem I can find is the long cut-scenes, but I can hardly complain, as they are crucial to understanding the the whole story. Along terms of difficulty, the bosses are hard, but not not too hard. All your other opponents seem easy, but they can be deadly.



5 out of 5 stars Pokemon Explorers of Time Review   July 3, 2008

Love these rescue-type games! I feel like a hero when I have accomplished rescue jobs! Many graphics in the game are beautiful, and it is simple to learn!


4 out of 5 stars A game that sticks to the plot...literally!   June 30, 2008
I have Pokemon Dungeon Red and Blue. Having both, it didn't take much for me to want the new Explorers of Time and Darkness.
I've noticed a big difference in between the new games, and the Red and Blue versions.
In Time and Darkness, yes. You can play a pokemon just like the older versions. But you pretty much stick with the plotline. Unlike the older versions, where in some parts of the game, you could take jobs as much as you wanted.
In Time and Darkness, you can take side paths indefinitely, or go back to the beginning of a dungeon in some parts. But you can't take as many jobs as you like, for as long as you want.
The dungeons also seem to get a lot harder, and have traps during some parts of the story plot. It also seems a lot harder to recruit new pokemon to join your team.
It's still a fun game. But has a lot of cons to it. But if you like Mystery Dungeon. Give it a go.
