===Back in the Day: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
===Still Gotta Catch Them All: Shaymin===
* The '''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon''' series was launched in Japan on this day in 2005. Starting with a pair of dungeon-crawler games where the player is a Pokémon (as opposed to a Trainer), the series now comprises a range of sequels, spinoffs, and adaptations.
* '''Shaymin''' (Japanese: '''シェイミ''' ''Shaymin'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon in its Land Forme, and a dual-type {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Flying}} Pokémon in its Sky Forme. Its Land Forme made its debut in {{g|Diamond and Pearl Versions}} and its Sky Forme debuted in {{g|Platinum Version}}. It is '''#492''' in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]], and is known as the '''Gratitude Pokémon'''.
* The first pair of games, [[PMD1|Red Rescue Team]] and [[PMD1|Blue Rescue Team]] were released for different consoles: the former for GBA and the latter for the Nintendo DS. This remains a unique move among paired versions of Pokémon games.
 
* In 2008 and 2009, sequel games were released for DS. [[PMD2|Explorers of Time]], [[PMD2|Explorers of Darkness]], and [[PMD3|Explorers of Sky]] expand on gameplay concepts introduced in the originals.
* Shaymin has the ability to sense the gratitude in people. When it is shown affection, [[Gracidea (flower)|flower]]s bloom all around its back.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Further sequel games]] were released via WiiWare in Japan in 2009. These titles have not been released internationally.
 
* As with the Pokémon [[main series]], there have been anime specials and manga based on the video games. The three PMD anime specials do not form part of the usual anime canon.
* Its Land Forme is based on the real-world {{wp|hedgehog}}.

* It made its anime debut in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' as one of the two title Pokémon, being the sky warrior. It got mixed up in a dispute between {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Giratina}} and lost its way. It then requested the assistance of {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Dawn}} to help it reach [[Gracidea]] before the other Shaymin left it behind.
 
* It, along with {{p|Darkrai}}, and {{p|Arceus}}, was officially revealed later in Generation IV than the other 104 Pokémon released.
