As always, a perfect purchase!
I purchased my copy of this game from Cave Gamers; I have purchased multiple games from this distributor and each game was in great, if not perfect condition! It arrived in brand-new condition, and plays perfectly. I am very happy with this purchase. I give a perfect 5/5 for this game, and for the seller. I'm looking forward to spending lots and lots of time playing this game! I did not receive any promotion or initiative to purchase or review this product. I purchased this product with my own money, and my review is honest and accurate. Thank you. ... show more

pokemon mystery dungeon explorers of darkness
This game has the longest story! i thought i'd finish it in 3 days. still ongoing. the last last rank is around 60,000 points you have to pass. i'm down to 22,000 0_0. the story goes on even when the original one is over. there are more stories to complete. this game is one of the best pokemon portable games i've played. well if you like cute starter pokemon and dont mind that they cant evovle, well you can always let other starter pokemon join you. have fun ^w^ ... show more

A New and Improved Pokemon Mystery Dungeon
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 story mode, I was so deeply moved that I cried. Even though I finished both story modes about a month ago (and something like 100 hours of non-story playing time), I am truly enjoying the challenge of beating Zero Isle (the equivalent of the previous games' Purity Forest, etc.) If I could ask for only one thing... I wish that there were X-Ray Specs in this game! I miss the thrill of sniping those random Kecleon Shops! This game is more challenging in several ways. For instance, gummies and Reviver Seeds are much more rare. After feeding my Pikachu every Yellow Gummi that I can find, she is still a three-star IQ. I love the smoother graphics, the wide variety of previously-unseen Pokemon, and the warmth and kindness of the characters' relationships. My only complaint is that they should have found something better to do with the second screen, instead of just leaving a set of basic instructions there. The dual-screen format is meaningless in this game, because it plays exactly like the GameBoy Advance version of Rescue Team. All of the action is displayed on the bottom screen, and there is no touch-screen activity at all. I do recommend this game for Pokemon fans, and for people who'd like to try a fairly simple but addictive Mystery Dungeon game. I've truly enjoyed it, and I will pass it along to my niece who is getting her first Nintendo DS later this summer. ... show more

kinda childish
this game is perfect for someone who wants to play a pokemon game without grinding it out for hours in the original series. you cant evolve and that sucks. that was the whole point to me buying it. getting an infernape and destroying everything. that being said. ALOT of dialogue is pointless... i take that back... ALL the dialogue is pointless. dont pay attention to the story. just treat this game like a dungeon crawler with pokemon. i do my best to skip the conversations but the gameplay isnt worth all the pointless talking. do yourself a favor and wait til the 24th when the 3ds one comes out BTW it takes forever to level up. ... show more

Fun!
My son wanted to buy this game, because it was a problem having to borrow it constantly from his sister, because she likes to play it a lot, too. He likes it very much (he is a teenager already), and since he received this game several days ago, he has not played anything else with his DSi. I bought this game from Tech Supply Center, and I am very happy with the service. The game arrived just as described, well packed and in time! ... show more

Don't Waste Your Time
The sellers of the product were amazing and got it here fast and efficiently, I have no problems with them. But this... this is not a good game. I was on a hype after replaying Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team and needed another PMD game to play, so I settled on this one because the concept sounded really good. The game play is not good. I've gotten through less than half of it and I haven't picked it up since. It's THAT boring. PMD:BRT/RRT (red rescue team) makes you feel like you're making progress when you do missions and the banter between you, your partner, and the towns people is fun and even feels natural. You get attached to your character and the struggle they go through makes you feel something. In PMD:EoD it's just so robotic and repetitive that it's frustrating. I feel nothing for these characters, not even my own or my partner. Not to mention the unnecessarily jacked up difficulty level with no way of changing it is absolutely ridiculous. It's basically the same concept of game as BRT, except somehow they messed it up. It's a great concept done poorly. And by the way, if you buy Explorers of Time, you're literally buying the same game. Look it up, there are no aesthetic/plot differences between the two games and they both deal with the same exact thing. So if you were reading this because you were on the fence, just jump off the fence and buy Blue/Red Rescue team (if you don't already have it) instead. ... show more

Amazing
This is IMO the best Pokemon spinoff game to come out on the DS. If youre looking for a fun dungeon crawler with an amazing story, look no further.
