'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team''' and '''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team''' are a matched pair of [[Pokémon games]] for the [[Game Boy Advance]] and [[Nintendo DS]], respectively. These two games were developed by Chunsoft and were published by [[Nintendo]]. They were released in Japan on November 17, 2005, and were released in the U.S. on September 18, 2006.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon starts with yourself as a human who is turned into a [[Pokémon]]. A series of questions at the start of the game determines what Pokémon you become.

When you discover you are a Pokémon, you will first meet your partner who also happens to be a Pokémon. You will start your journey by going out to find a lost {{p|Caterpie}}. Once this first quest is done, your journey will start to unfold.

All Pokémon from Generations [[Generation I|I]], [[Generation II|II]], and [[Generation III|III]] are available in this game, and you are able to [[Pokémon battle|battle]] and befriend all of them to join your team. You will travel across this new land and enter and fight in dungeon levels.  

The games have received adaptations in other formats through the anime episode ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' and the manga series ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]]''.

A sequel has been announced for release in Japan later in 2007. There will again be two games, but both will be for the Nintendo DS.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon is an adaptation of the [[wp:Fushigi no Dungeon|Fushigi no Dungeon]] games for Pokémon. Like the main Pokémon RPGs, it has two gameplay modes; unlike the main RPGs, battle mode and dungeon mode are not distinct. It is a semi-turn-based game, with each step, attack, or item use being counted as a single turn.  

The size of a party is limited to four in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, compared to six in the main RPGs; furthermore, players are only able to directly control one Pokémon: their own character (or, later in the game, any other befriended Pokémon). The player's teammates are essentially autonomous, with player control being limited to general strategy such as avoiding Pokémon battles or not moving and staying in one place.  

=Plot=

==Main story==

* The player wakes up one day in the Pokémon world, a human turned into a Pokémon.

* This world is suffering an imbalance in nature, with natural disasters occurring everywhere.

* The player and their partner form a rescue team after successfully rescuing {{p|Caterpie}}.

* Team Meanies steal the requests for help from the player's mailbox.

* The player consults {{p|Xatu}} for an explanation of their presence in this world as a Pokémon.

* The player learns of the legend of Ninetales: one day, a human angered a {{p|Ninetales}} and was cursed, however, his {{p|Gardevoir}} took the curse upon itself to save its master. However, the human selfishly deserts the cursed Gardevoir. Ninetails prophesises that the selfish human would be reborn as a Pokémon, and when that happens, the balance of nature in the world would collapse.

* {{p|Gengar}} convinces the Pokémon that the player is the selfish human in the legend of Ninetales, and they decide to run them out of town.

* The player meets the Ninetales of the legend and discovers that while part of the legend is true, and even though the selfish human from the legend is alive, the player is ''not'' that human.

* The player returns to the town, and Gengar is discredited. Meanwhile Team A.C.T. (named after their members, Alakazam, Charizard, and Tyranitar) goes to the Magma Caverns to defeat {{p|Groudon}}.

* {{p|Wynaut}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}} ask the player to go defeat the {{p|Mankey}} gang in the Uproar Forest. In return, they offer a peeled Chestnut, which are in turn used to convince the Mankey gang to help renovate the Rescue Team Base.

* Team A.C.T. is instead defeated, and a new team, comprised of {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Octillery}} and {{p|Golem}}, is formed to go rescue them.

* The new team is also defeated. The player goes to Magma Cavern themselves to rescue Team A.C.T.

* After defeating Groudon, Xatu announces that a falling star is headed towards the planet, and that it is the meteor that is causing the imbalance in nature.

* Gardevoir reveals to the player, in a dream, the true reason for its transformation: the player was destined to be the savior of the Pokémon world; the player decided to erase the memories of being a human in order to cleanse the heart and mind.

* The player goes to find {{p|Rayquaza}} in order to convince it to destroy the falling star.

* The player ends up in the netherworld in the aftermath of the explosion; Gengar somehow helps them return to the Pokémon world.

* After the credits roll, the player decides to remain in the Pokémon world, and reappears at the rescue base.

==Epilogue==

* After rescuing Medicham, the player is rewarded with the Wish Stone.

* Ninetails gives Gengar the Nine Tail Crest, and sends him to [[Murky Cave]].

* The player and Gengar go rescue {{p|Gardevoir}}. Gardevoir then offers to join the players rescue team, but it has lost all its memory relating to Gengar.

* If you go back to Pokémon Square and talk to Spinda, it will leave, encouraged to go exploring again.

* If the player has the friend area Cryptic Cave, Mewtwo will ask to join the player's rescue team second time through the dungeon if the player defeats Mewtwo.
