About the game

As the sequel to Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team, a lot is expected. You go around, rescuing Pokemon and finding new dungeons to explore. You take a personality test to decide what Pokemon you turn into, and then you can choose a partner. There are many new features besides older ones from Red and Blue Rescue team which makes this game more exciting then ever. It also has a game that is similar to it, and that is Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time.

Gameplay

As before, you start off as a human, and somehow change into a Pokemon.

You may be a Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Pikachu, Meowth, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, Skitty, Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, or Munchlax. Your partner can be any of the above Pokemon, but they may not be the same type as you, or a Normal type Pokemon (Meowth, Skitty and Munchlax).

Plot

Warning: spoilers ahead.

One stormy night you wash upon shore on a beach and pass out. Meanwhile your future partner is trying to enter the guild but is not brave enough to enter, plus he/she needs a partner. He/she wanders around the beach dreaming that he/she could solve the mystery of the relic fragment, a treasure that he/she found, but his/her dreams are interrupted when a Zubat and a Koffing steal the relic fragment. He/she finds you and asks you to team up with him/her and try to get the treasure back! You go through a dungeon and find them and get the relic back for your partner. Your partner gets happy and decides that you two should make a exploration team. You and your partner go and create one. You choose the name of your crew and start off your adventure. As you do missions for the guild, cut-scenes happen about this Pokemon that is stealing things caled Time Gears. You don't know anything about them yet. As you walk around the town, you get some dreams of things that happen. You don't know if it is the future or it is just some dreams. You dream of a Drowzee about to hurt a innocent Azurill. You tell your partner that but your partner thinks you're just messing around. You go to the guild and check out the Outlaw Notice Board. You see the Drowzee that said he would help the innocent Azurill. After that you charge following the Drowzee and defeat him, saving Azurill. You find out that you get scenes from the future every once in awhile. So you just start doing missions again until you get another mission to explore a waterfall cave. You go to the waterfall and you don't see any entrances to a cave. Your character then gets a dream of a Pokemon that jumped into the waterfall and entered through a cave. You and your partner agree to do it. You jump through the waterfall and enter through another cave. After you are at the end of the cave you see this huge jewel. Your partner tries to take it out with all it's energy but can't even budge it. You try and the same thing happens. As you are heading away you get a dream showing a Pokemon pushing the jewel and a huge water current comes flowing by. Right before you warn your partner, your partner pushes the jewel and the water current blasts you to a hot spring. You then head back to the guild and tell everyone about your adventure. As you do missions you find out a huge exploration is going go on and the Koffing and Zubat that bullied your partner have their own team! And they brought some huge stinky beast with them called Skuntank. As you progress the team starts to do an expedition to hunt for treasure, and only the best can go. You and your partner try hard and eventually everyone gets to go! The guild splits and you work with Bidoof to get to the base camp. You see a Groudon illusion and defeat it. Then you ask if Uxie has anything to do with the player's memory loss, but she says no. After the expedition the famous explorer, Dusknoir visits your guild. While you're in town Marril and Azuraill still can't find their item and so you and your partner decide to retrieve it for them.
