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.

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. I assume that this rating and description can also apply to the "Explorers of Time" version of the game, since the strategy guide says there are only minor differences.

Overall, it feels like an anime made for kids. It’s fun, it’s charming, there are annoying flaws in the gameplay and the dialogue gets cliché sometimes. If you like Pokemon, anime, and simple stories, you’ll like this. But you probably won’t want as second play through Critique: The story/dialogue is fairly juvenile…not that that is a bad thing. It's got a real charm to it. But the gameplay has a little bit of B.S. sprinkled in here and there. You are allowed to heal by holding down A+B when in a dungeon...except you aren't because enemies will constantly flood you and thus allow you to only heal about 5-10 HP before you have to battle again. Boss fights are fun, but you can’t use Orb-Items in them and the game doesn’t warn you about that beforehand so you will lose that item

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.

This game has a much better storyline than the first game. The overall gameplay is the same but I found it to be much more fun. And another improvement over the previous game is that it lasts much longer; you can play all day and you still won't beat it. I gave it 4 stars because it's impossible not to compare it to other games like Pokemon Red version, Silver version, Ruby version, Diamond version, etc. That original series wins over all other Pokemon games because of their repeatability. I think playing this game more than two times would be stretching it. But that's ok because it takes so long to beat it once! Overall it's a must-have for almost anyone with a DS and willing to play a kind of kiddy game.

Pretty fun, its cute to run around as a Pokemon who represents yourself. The plot is actually pretty fun, even though I'm an adult I wasn't terribly bored by the childish storyline, even if I had to button mash a little, haha. However, if you think this is like Red, Blue, Green, or the classic style of a partner and his team of Pokemon, then watch out. This game is different, and you might not like the change. I didn't realize I was actually going to be a Pokemon, but after a few hours I warmed up to the idea and had some fun.

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.
