It's up to the Rescue Force (Red in the GBA version, Blue in the DS version) to save Pokemon who've found themselves in trouble. While one of your goals is to figure out what exactly turned you into a Pokemon, you've also got to help Pokemon as part of the Rescue Force. You start off serving your duties with your original partner Pokemon at your side, but as you progress, more Pokemon join the Rescue Force and become selectable.Content RatingMild Cartoon ViolenceDevelopersChunsoftPublishersNintendoFranchisesPokemon, Mystery Dungeon [Mysterious Dungeon]FeaturesNumber Of PlayersInitial ReleaseNov 17, 2005PlatformsGenresRPG
