Mysterious Dungeon!

[AbareMax]

Pictures have been released throughout the internet about this new game for the DS/GBA. Apparently we have a 2005 release in Japan. You get to play as Pokémon in the game! Post your hopes/thoughts about the new information.

[SRV]

I'd rather stick with the normal RPG pokemon games.

[Latias_fan]

Well I can't wait(for GBA game).

[AbareMax]

It looks semi-RPG style, mixed with Real time battling...Sorta reminds me of Digimon World 4 *shudders*. However, I still have high hopes for this game.

Ciao

What is your source of information? The official pokemon site, or just someone's made up lame idea?

[AbareMax]

SRV: I take offense to that. The information is on SPP. Go and see. I chose not to reveal the source of information due to the posting of a link....^_^

[Jirachi3]

That reminds me of legacy of goku but I cant wait for blue to come out!

[SRV]

You can't wait for Blue to come out?.....It's probably not the same game as I'm thinking about, but where have you been the last 10 years?

[kohei]

I think he means Mysterious Dungeon Blue (which is for the GBA right? I'm confused about which version is for which hand-held).

It reminds me of Shiren's Mysterious Dungeon... I hope it turns out good.

[Nor]

It looks awesome. Its a pokemon RPG based off of a Japanese RPG called Mysterious Dungeon. I looked into the other game and it seems just like this one. Just check out the pics on SPP.

[Fury of Ninetales]

it does look like legacy of goku. i saw that pokemon were saying something in the games. do you think they will speak english or speak pokemon and have it translated underneath what they say?

[baka123w]

if nintendo is making it better believe ittl be english(in the us)

[RoMeRz]

looks like a bit of fun anyway - wont be anywere near as good as your standard games. Does look like a laugh thought :)

[kohei]

It looks awesome. Its a pokemon RPG based off of a Japanese RPG called Mysterious Dungeon. I looked into the other game and it seems just like this one. Just check out the pics on SPP.Yeah, Shiren's Mysterious Dungeon was awsome...
I hope they make this game like that... after all, the company making this game is Chun Soft, meaning it's made by the people who made the original Mysterious Dungeon!

it does look like legacy of goku. i saw that pokemon were saying something in the games. do you think they will speak english or speak pokemon and have it translated underneath what they say?I think it's not going to have translations, since it's going to make the text part longer.
I liked Charmander saying: "th... this?!" in one of the screen shots.

[Nor]

Ya, thanks. I was wondering about why it wasnt made by GameFREAK. Thanks for clearing that up.

[kohei]

The new Corocoro scan of Dungeon is out!

It really does seem like the Pokemon talk normally like people, and it also seems like the main character is actually a human turned into a Pokemon (in the screenshot, a Charmander).

It also says you can choose what Pokemon the main character turns into.

Imo, the graphics don't seem so promising... it's like, meh whatever...

[Squeegee Beckenheim]

I kinda hope you can play as any Pokemon and not just one or the other like Pikachu.

[kohei]

I kinda hope you can play as any Pokemon and not just one or the other like Pikachu.From the scrrenshot and being Japanese, I can currently tell you that you can choose which Pokemon to be by either:
1. A random question which the game asks you at the start (top left scrnshot).

2. You can choose from a list of starter Pokemon (1st gen to 3rd gen, middle right scrnshot).

[Squeegee Beckenheim]

Ok, that sounds pretty cool. I can't wait to get more info on it.

[kohei]

I noticed today that the official site was already opened, both on Chunsoft and Pokemon.co.jp site.

And according to the site, it's officially confirmed that (1) the Pokemon you become is chosen by answering a few questions at the beggining of the game, and (2) your partner Pokemon is picked from a list of 1st gen ~ 3rd gen starter Pokemons (you can choose!). On the official site screenshot, the main character if a Charizard, and the partner is Chikorita.

appearntly I see a thing that reminds me of pez on the merchindise area of the japanese site, there pokeblock despinsers with candy! how ironic, pokemon candy for humans...

I own a clear green one.

[Shiny Meganium]

The game looks, well, different, does anyone know the story/ aim of the game?

[kohei]

The game looks, well, different, does anyone know the story/ aim of the game?Well, by the official site, the game's story seems to be fairly simple... the main character (you) gets changed to a Pokemon, and you have to find out how to turn human again while doing jobs/missions in the "mysterious dungeons".

[kohei]

Sorry for double posting, but I got some additional scans from Corocoro (via my sources).

By the scan it seems like you have 16 Pokemon you get to control.

[Samurai X]

Hmm looks like it might be fun but I'll wait for the reviews first, just in case.

The only Pokemon games I buy no matter what the review (even though they're good anyway) is the RPG's.

[kohei]

Hey, Mysterious Dungeon is coming out in one more week :D

Any of you guys planning on getting it?

[Samurai X]

I might get it but I'll wait for reviews on this one, it looks good though.

[flashfox]

i'm planning to import this one.. well... as long as i found out there is no us release. this game looks really nice.

[kohei]

Question, but when Mysterious Dungeon comes out, should this thread be open only for Blue (DS version) discussion, and should I create a thread for Red (GBA version) in the General Pokemon Games section, or should this thread be for both?

[kohei]

OK, Dungeon is out today.
I've already gathered some info on it, since I'm thinking of getting it this saturday.

Anyway, from info on Japanese Pokemon boards:

- You can only evolve after you finish the game once. (For you and yoyr partner Pokemon).

- You can start befriending other Pokemon only after you finish the first 4 dungeons.

- You can assign a member of your team to be team leader after you finish the game once. This means you can make any Pokemon to be you.

- Zigzagoone is godly, like in Ru/Sa/Em. It still has Pickup to get items, it levels up quickly, and Pin Missle does tons of damage, thanks to its multiple hit. The only downside of Zig is that its HP is relativly low.

- ^ Basically, multi-hit attacks which are fairly useless in RPG Pokemon are useful in Dungeon.

- Gardevoir holds a vital key role in the game, as it appears in your dream.

- You still need HMs to enter certain dungeons (eg: Diving for underwater dungeons).

- Chiko, Skitty and Eevee are fixed to female players, while Machamp, Meowth and Cynda are fixed to male players only.

- Depending on your Pokemon, the partner you can select from changes.

Btw, I'll do a short review if I get it.

[kohei]

I've got Mysterious Dungeon - Team of Red today. So I'll write a review like I said I will.

I've only finished two maps however, so it'll be a short review, and I'll try to avoid as much spoilers as possible (even though a spoiler of the first hour or so might not be big).

Opening sequence: One of the downsides of the game. You can't skip the opening animation like you can with other games, which is very annoying. This adds to the frustration of resetting the game to get the main character Pokemon you want to get.

Main character: A questionnaire consited of about 6 questions (6~8, but most cases was 6). The questionnaire finds out your Nature, then you tell it your gender, to determine what Pokemon you become. Of course since its a questionnaire, you have to try a few times if you have a specific Pokemon you want to become.

Since I wanted a Squirtle, I tried the questionnaire 10 times (which took like 20 minutes -_-). On the 11th try, the questionnaire said my Nature was Jolly, and since I'm male, I'm a Squirtle. Yay :)

Then, I chose Chikorita to be my partner, the name of her being "Chikoree" (チコリィ ).

The game started with me (the Squirtle), lying in the middle of a forest. Then, chikorita wakes him up, and asks him who he is. At this point, I entered the name for my Squirtle, as "Lok" (ロク ). However, Lok protests he is actually human, but of course, Chikoree doesn't believe him because he obviously looks like a Squirtle.

Suddenly, as Lok and Chikoree are talking, a Butterfree mother comes to us distressed, saying her baby Caterpie fell in a fissure after an earthquake, and confused, angered wild Pokemon are trying to attack her baby.

The first quest is to, of course, save the baby Caterpie. It wasn't that hard, although the pidgeys where quite hard to defeat since they avoided my normal attack (punches) with ease. However they where easily dispateched by my Tackle.

- In this game, pressing A does the normal attack. This normal attack uses no PP, but is weak comapred to attacks with PP, and you only gain small amounts of EXP defeating Pokemon this way.
Attacks with PP are powerful, and you gain more EXP defeating enemy Pokemon with it. However, the number of uses are limited due to its PP constraints.

After I saved the Caterpie, the mother Butterfree gave us a few berries, and was very happy. That gave Chikoree an idea, to form her own Rescue Team, with Lok being the leader, since according to her: "Hey, you arn't half as bad as I imagined! Maybe... if you have no where to go... why don't you become the leader for our Rescue Team?!"

Afterwards, Lok is led to Chikoree's house, which is also the new HQ. Then, you think of a name for the Rescue Team. It took me half a hour to think of a team name -_-;
But I decided it to be "Alpha Numbers" (but because of a 5 word limit in th game, Alpha Number -> αナンバー ).

Then, the game shifts to that night, in the main characters dream...

and now I'm tired typing, and I might spoil some parts, so I'll stop typing.

So thats the story for the first 30 minutes (if you are a fast gamer).

As for the game system, its actually quite fun. Its like a generic Mysterious Dungeon game, one movement = one turn.

And the attack linking system is great. You can link 2 of your Pokemons moves togather to create a combo. I linked Tail Whip and Tackle together, and my Lok can do 20+ damage with ease :)

Altough it is fun, as I said, the downside is with the opening sequence you can't skip.

Still, I highly recommend it.

[Sweet Love]

Anyone know what should i do after go to the Central Town and meet Peplipers? (In Mysterious Red) ^. And in the Linking up part, which peplipers is allow to linking up? (i don't know Japanese) ^^
Edit: After I rescue a diglet and meet Red Team, what should i do?

[Haunted_Angel]

Does anyone know if it's coming out in the UK and when, cause it sounds like a cool game, and i've read up on it and now want to get it, but it's annoying cause it takes ages to come out over here
so any one got any ideas?

[kohei]

Edit: After I rescue a diglet and meet Red Team, what should i do?Red Team... you mean the Alakazam team? You should go do other small missions, so the story advances automatically (a new dungeon is unlocked).

But then, the story is sort of straight forward for Dungeon, since its:

Do missions which advances storyline -> Do small missions -> Story advances, new dungeon unlocked

[Fury of Ninetales]

i have a question: does ne1 know if the mysterious dungeon games are coming out in the USA or not? becuz the screenshots look awesome!!!

[poliwhirl]

does anyone know when it comes out in japan?

[Fury of Ninetales]

it comes out in japan in winter of 2005

[Pete]

I like this game a lot. Nice graphics, nice story, nice gameplay. I'm going to wait till it comes out in England though. I'm not importing. Too expensive.

[poliwhirl]

ㅡㅡ i mean the precise date (i cant spell that good ㅠㅠ)

[kohei]

ㅡㅡ i mean the precise date (i cant spell that good ㅠㅠ)For Japan, 17/Nov/2005. As for other countries, its not announced yet.

[in Dungeon]Wow, the plot of this game is getting better and better...

[Sweet Love]

Thanks for help, kohei ^^
Yeah, 3 legendary bird was join my rescue force ^^ And ... a question again: where to buy the Friends Area of Groundon/Kyogre. The Wigglytuff doesn't have it :(

[Haunted_Angel]

I can't wait to get it over here. So in it are there like legendaries that join you and stuff?? do you only get a certain amout in a "rescue team"??

[Oblivion Edgegirl Ayu]

Is this a good game? I want it. O__o"

[poliwhirl]

Kohei, i goy mysterious dungeon blue and im at the forest currently, 13 floors and battle gengar but i cant seem to save it, i dont want to go back up those stairs and i got a lediba that took me a long time to get, how do i save in a dungeon and what are those green arrows.

[kohei]

But after you load a data saved in a Dungeon, it gets deleted automatically, to stop you from turning off the game if you are dying so you can restart again).

The green arrow panels remove all postive and negative stat changes.

I can't wait to get it over here. So in it are there like legendaries that join you and stuff?? do you only get a certain amout in a "rescue team"??All Pokemon have stars to represent their size, and one team can only have a star value totaling 6. Also, you can only have 4 Pokemon in a team.

A legendary Pokemon is large, so they probablly have like 4-5 stars for their size rating.

Is this a good game? I want it. O__o"Although the game balance is not the greatest (ie. it's too easy), the storyline is probablly the best in any Pokemon game ever made. I cried in the ending! It was so sad! ahem, yes, the story is very good indeed.

[Haunted_Angel]

aww magnifique, I still can't wait for it to come out :P
it'd better come out soon over here?? it all depends on when it came out in Japan, when did it come out in japan??
so i can see if i can work this out

[celebi23]

Since I finished Dungeon a while ago, my memory is vague, but the things you can do on the first day is fairly limited, so try talking/doing whatever you can, then try saving (or sleeping) at your home.

[Xygni]

I found a ROM of the GBA version, and it's ok. It's EXTREMELY repetitive.

[kohei]

I found a ROM of the GBA version, and it's ok. It's EXTREMELY repetitive.Yeah, because its a Mysterious Dungeon game :/

But there is a HUGE turning point in the story, so that is good.

[Ketay]

Yeah, because its a Mysterious Dungeon game :/

But there is a HUGE turning point in the story, so that is good.

Yeah, the Mysterious Dungeonishness of it all took out the Pokemonishness. =( But it's a nice change... It's just not exactly the type of game most Pokemon Fans are looking for. (I'm not really one for Mysterious Dungeon).

[The Power Plumber]

Does anyone know of a English Rom of the game? I have the Japanese Rom and It would be nice if I could play it and understand what they were saying.....

[kohei]

Yeah, the Mysterious Dungeonishness of it all took out the Pokemonishness. =( But it's a nice change... It's just not exactly the type of game most Pokemon Fans are looking for.

they are only reward statues :P you ca't get them :( nor any of the new pokemon

[Egyptian Sphinx]

Can someone tell me what is Pokemon Mysterious Dungeon is for and for what console @_@

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

Its for the DS. I did say a few weeks ago that the reason why they didn't come out with Mystery Dungeon for the US is because of Manyula and Manene US names were not discovered yet. So if they are statues then they should come out with this game already.

Also you can start with a scepific Pokemon in the versions.
