Video Game Reviews of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time

Customer Review: A great break from the general Pokemon games
Summary: 5 Stars

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time excels in both fun and challenge. It certainly is much improved from the previous Mystery Dungeon games, Red and Blue. The storyline is beyond impressive, and Treasure Town has been amplified beautifully and gives the player so much to do. It also adds a really addicting and useful minigame where you identify the footprints of Pokemon. (This gives the player "Poke", the game's currency of money. So it's not only fun and gives you a break from dungeons, but it's useful and you can play it anytime.) The previous games in this series lacked that and more, making the game annoying.
There is almost no downside to this game unless you are too used to the usual Pokemon game that revolves around battling. While there is combat in Mystery Dungeon, it is brought down to a different level and is revamped entirely. The game gives you a much needed break from the stresses on constant battling in games such as Pokemon Diamond. A lot of reviews complain about the reading level and quantity. Albeit, the quantity is rough, but you should really be buying less intense games for your kids anyway. I'd recommend this game for kids ages 8 and up.
There is little difference between Time and Darkness except the availability in Pokemon throughout the game. Time has a huge advantage over Darkness because it gives the player access to the Pokemon Lucario, which is extremely popular because it was featured in a Pokemon movie and it is highly loved by the younger audience of Pokemon (especially boys.) Darkness has access to much weaker and less exciting Pokemon, such as Lopunny and Rotom, which is why Time is favored.
The storyline is very involved and really pulls the player in, while still keeping it kid friendly and thought provoking. The game is challenging, and at times can really work your brain muscles, because no two dungeons are ever the same.
The graphics done in classic sprite style are adorable and innovative, giving this game a look of its own that seperates it from other games.

All being said, this game deserves no less than 5 stars.

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

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

Starting out in the game you find yourself transformed into a Pok?mon! After taking a Pok?mon personality test the form of your Pok?mon will be revealed. Washed ashore on the beach a fellow Pok?mon 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 Pok?mon in randomly-generated dungeons.

Explore long-lost dungeons or hunt down criminal Pok?mon. 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 Pok?mon yourself! It's time to join the adventures of Treasure Town.

Fans of the two previous Pok?mon Mystery Dungeon games, Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, will marvel at the greatly enhanced graphics, new story and grand adventure in Pok?mon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Pok?mon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness. For Game Boy? Advance owners, the fresh look and wireless aspects of these new Pok?mon titles provide even more reasons to upgrade to Nintendo DS.
