The lowdown:
Rather than being one of the core role-playing games in the Pokémon series this is a spin-off based on ChunSofts long running (in Japan at least) Mystery Dungeon series. The basic idea is that you enter a random generated dungeon and defeat all the wild Pokémon you find within it. Most of the standbys of the Pokémon world also make an appearance, including Technical Machines that enable you to lean new abilities, resistances and weakness to different elemental attacks. You cant capture wild Pokémon but you can recruit them to your team, which adds something to your strategic options. Admittedly the game can get repetitive, but theres generally enough to see and do until the "real" Pokémon sequels come out sometime next year.
Most exciting moment:
The combat is a clever mix between real-time and turn-based combat, with wild Pokémon moving about the dungeon at the same time as you. You can have four Pokémon in your team at once, with the computer controlling the other three, and each can have four attacks or abilities each. If youre sensible youll put together a varied team so youve got an attack ready for whatever enemy comes your way.
Since you ask:
As with most Pokémon titles there are two versions of the game, in this case one for the DS and one for the GBA. Theyre both essentially the same, except with different distributions of Pokémon in each. The DS does have a couple of extra options though, as well as an easier to use touch screen interface.
The bottom line:
Not the deepest Pokémon game ever but youll still find yourself wanting to catch em all. - HARRISON DENT
