Because of the huge cast and randomly generated maps, there's a lot of content to keep fans glued to the portable device. Gamers should love the sheer number of Pokémon available, to find, talk with, work for, and battle alongside. Though it doesn't mess with the formula that made its Mystery Dungeon predecessors so popular on Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance, this role-playing game won't disappoint. In many ways the Mystery Dungeon spin-offs are far better than the main series games because they are story driven and teach a moral lesson while also having fun game play.


I would say that while the game is not my favorite in the spin-off series overall, it's still a very good game with a wonderful and much needed lesson about letting negative emotions control your actions and the value of friendship and never giving up. A mild spoiler alert is that negative emotions are destroying the Pokemon world and in the end good triumphs over the negativity because even though you cannot rid the world of negative emotions like feeling doubt and anger and sadness, acknowledging that those emotions exist but not letting those feelings control you and have power over your life in a bad way, but instead growing and becoming positive about things is what saves the day. In this game you are turned into a Pokemon and must discover why you were turned into a Pokemon and also why Pokemon are mysteriously being turned into stone. This is the latest installment in the spin-off crossover series of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and it's one of the preachy ones.
