I don't know. I believe Pokemon went wrong with the dungeon games. I would only buy this game after you do some more research. Watch videos on youtune of gameplay for instance.

This game is pretty fun the beginning gets you ready for further on in the game. It doesn't give you enough time to train before some of the big parts and it gets frusturating after a while. There are some parts where it doesn't make sense. i haven't played it in a while and i'll probably sell it with my DS so i can get the Nintendo DSi

My 7 year old son is new to the world of gaming and the DS--we got this game along with Mario Kart, and he quickly dismissed this Pokemon game and went with the Kart 100%. I think the depth of the game, and the amount of reading required is a bit much for younger kids to enjoy, but we will revisit in about a year or so. My recommendation-- 7+ years old, and the player has to have attention span and ability to deal with the frustration of not being able to get out of a dungeon, etc.

This game is a totally *NEW* experience in the Pokemon game series cuz unlike before you were playing as a Pokemon trainer ... Here you are an actual Pokemon !! In the beginning there's a short Aura questionnaire to find out what your Aura color and Pokemon is based on your answers. It's kinda creepy cuz the results of the Questionnaire is very accurate to Real Life. Mine observed that I'm a very relaxed/laid back person and my Aura color was a Calming Blue. Blue is my favorite color and I am a calm person and the pokemon I'm related to his a Meowth. Which I was hoping for something different but you can always take the questionnaire over til you get a character you wish to be. After you get to choose your partner to travel with and I chose PiKaChu cuz he's been my favorite since day one of the Pokemon series. But overall this game has excellent graphixs similar to that of Legend of Zelda and it's alot of FUN !! I like the added feature of Friends Code so you can exchange emails and add

the game is worth the cost, because you get more than what you pay for. It never gets boring, and there is always something to do or someone to save. It has good graphics, a good storyline, and isn't a "beat it in 1/2 an hour game". I give this game two thumbs up, and my rating is an A+. Thanks for a great game Best Buy, and anyone who reads this should buy this game.

The last pokemon game I played before this was one of the classic rpg's. So when I saw this, I was expecting something similar, but from a pokemon's point of view. I did get the pokemon's point of view, but the gameplay is COMPLETELY different. It's kind of like a pokemon version of like, a gba final fantasy. Only it's much more limited. Basically it's a dungeon grinder and all you do is explore dungeons and fight monsters. There IS a story line of sorts, but the gameplay doesn't really enhance it.

This game is really fun according to my 8 year old son. Some of the dungeons are a little hard, such as Concealed Ruins, but the tasks are interesting and the music/storylines are great. The game is not too long or too short and it isn't too hard either. The scenery is very good. Overall, we recommend this game.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness, capitalizes on the failures of the first entry in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. Offering a much more adorable and emotionally intense story, with addictive gameplay, I have found that this one is more of the pick-up and stay playing variety.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness launches by asking you, the player, a series of questions that gauge how well your personality traits match against the set of several Pokémon. The answers that the player gives determine which Pokémon they will play as for the entire game. The questions are quite interesting in that they sometimes match, even in its simplest state, the player. For a true Pokémon fan or just someone who knows exactly what Pokémon they want to be there are several faqs are available online that guide you in the way to answers questions to get who you want. After the player has chosen their Pokémon, they proceed to choose their partner. The partners range from

I'm a middle-aged lady who adores Pokemon, and I've also become addicted to Mystery Dungeon games. I loved the first two Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games (Red and Blue Rescue Teams). I wondered if it was worthwhile to purchase this game, since it would probably be a reworking of those earlier games. (Nintendo seems to prefer updating their Pokemon franchise games, rather than discovering new approaches. We're still playing the equivalent of the original Pokemon Red and Blue, but with two screens and better music!)
Anyways, I was delighted to discover that the story mode in this game is about three times as long as in the previous games. And that there's a second story mode which begins sometime after the first story ends. Lots of new dungeons, and all of those rare Pokemon from Diamond and Pearl.
I've read that this game is excessively talky, and I agree with that. Too much time is spent on clicking through cutscenes and conversations. And yet, when I reached the end of the first

This is being hidden away as a gift for my 6yr old. It is really all he wanted for his birthday. I know it will be a big hit. I believe this game has a good bit of reading, so if your child is a good reader and likes Pokemon, it'll be a big hit.

I honestly feel that Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is MUCH better than I expected! I mean, I thought that it would be the same as Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team, but it was better and then some! I must say that one of the best new features would be sentry duty, as it is like a minigame and is like a break from the dungeons. I wish I would have known how easy it was though. I mean, I got it a week after it came out, and four days later, I was working on the final mission before the post-ending. I feel that that isn't that a big of a deal though, and I still think that it is the best pokemon game that doesn't involve catching and training Pokemon like usually.

This was a really good game! You won't be disappointed in this when you buy it! It is like any other pokemon ranger game. It's similar but more fun. I can't describe any other cons but that it just is a slow pace through this game. You have to be patient to beat this game or else you should buy the book with it (the book that helps you and give you advice to beat it).
You won't be disappointed! I promise. :)

This game is a GIANT step forward from the GB Advance version! This is the game that that one should have been. I am really not too knowledgable about the Advance game, since I put it aside as borderline unplayable and a major disappointment. The new version is vastly improved. The following areas are its strong points:
First and foremost, a good combat interface. In this version, your head Pokemon can select one of four moves, just as in the regular Pokemon games. And there is no burdensome double-button punch to use a move. You can also choose an ordinary attack, which is not a move, to save moves: a welcome Pokemon innovation.
Attractively drawn dungeons
Good and varied music
A good story line
Lots of interesting tasks and situations
The real comparison is with the recent Shiren Mystery Dungeon, also a Chun product. This one is less brutal and much larger-scale, though both are excellent games.
Highly recommended for roguelike fans.

In this game, you play as a Pokemon and have another Pokemon as a companion. You enter dungeons with randomly-generated floor plans, collecting items and fighting Pokemon as you complete tasks. The fighting is turn-based, as with most other Pokemon games. One advantage is that you regenerate HP as you walk. However, you need to keep a supply of apples with you because you also get hungry as you walk and if you get too hungry, you faint. However, this is better than not regenerating HP until getting to a town, in regular Pokemon games.
So far, I have only played this game about 10 hours, (in comparison with over 100 hours on mystery dungeon blue team), but I prefer this newer one. Obviously, since I have played it so much, I really like the first one, so this is saying quite a lot (I am a fan of Pokemon games, in general). Here's why I like this one better:
1. you can hold more items in dungeons (and this number increases as you progress)
2. you can recruit new Pokemon even if
