The three games are collectively referred to as the (Japanese: ポケモン不思議のダンジョン冒険団シリーズ Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Adventure Squad series).
The games contain the Mythical Pokémon Arceus, who was missing but made a cameo as a statue in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. The games focus on Water, Electric, and Fire-type Pokémon depending on the version, and the home village's design changes accordingly. The games are not as plot-based as previous Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games.
These titles are no longer legitimately obtainable as of the Wii Shop Channel's shutdown on January 31, 2019.
Features
- Pokémon use the same 3D models as My Pokémon Ranch and the Pokémon Rumble series.
- The player can use the Nintendo DS as a controller.
- With the use of the internet, the player could ask for a rescue from another player.
- WiiConnect24 was used to download special missions.
- Pokémon can now evolve inside of Dungeons. If an enemy defeats a party member, it will evolve to its next stage, if any, gaining new moves and levels; Reviver Seed does not prevent this from happening.
- Four different save files are available, making it one of the few titles in the entire Pokémon series that allows more than one person to play the same copy of a game.
- If a player purchases more than one version of the game, their save file can be used with any version to access different Pokémon.
- A new mechanic allows Pokémon to ride on each other, called Pokémon Tower, which allows them to perform simultaneous attacks with each other and move as one.
- The towers also allow Pokémon to learn Egg Moves, by watching another Pokémon in the tower perform the move a couple of times, allowing a Pokémon in the tower who can learn the move as an Egg Move to learn it.
- This is the first game in the series in which the main character is not a human transformed into a Pokémon.
- If players decide to go onto a dungeon without activating their accepted jobs for the dungeon, a confirmation of the decision will appear. Similar message will appear if player wants to go to the next floor without completing the job on current floor.
Plot
This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. |
The plot begins with an overview of the hub location. From there, Farfetch'd is seen fighting with either SneaselB, FloatzelS or GrumpigL. A Slowking, the town elder, quickly breaks the fight up. From here, an Aron and Swinub come up to Slowking, asking for its help in rescuing a Shuckle. Slowking asks a group of Pokémon to help. The player selects a hero Pokémon and several other Pokémon from this group to form a team.
The team goes into Dubious ForestB/Dubious HillS/Dubious ValleyL. When the team returns to Pokémon VillageB/Pokémon BeachS/Pokémon GardenL, Shuckle explains he went to the dungeon because he had heard a rumor that there was a tasty fruit there, and while looking for it, he got lost. The other Pokémon tell Shuckle that there is nothing like that in the that dungeon. Slowking then shows the player's team the Request Board, which is where Pokémon put their problems, and tasks them to form an Adventure Squad, and help the residents of the hub world with their problems. This team is dubbed the Blazing Adventure SquadB, Stormy Adventure SquadS, or Light Adventure SquadL. The team is now able to enter Cheerful MeadowB/Exciting MeadowS/Sparkling MeadowL.
After ranking up to from the Normal Rank to the Bronze Rank, Slowking teaches the player's squad the Stack Attack technique. The player is then allowed to enter Sunset RocklandB/Cloudy RocklandS/Shady RocklandL.
At the end of the game, the team is shown to have found some special cookies that the player wants to give to everyone. Slowking reminds them about the chocolate incident, but Aron, Swinub and Shuckle insisted to share the cookies due to the player's rescue team's hard work. They first introduced it to the two Pokémon quarreling. It was surprising that Sneasel B, Floatzel S or Grumpig L were not mean to Farfetch'd, the two Pokémon shared the cookie with each other and the player's rescue team distributes the rest of the cookies to the other Pokémon. Aron, Swinub and Shuckle ask Slowking to try the cookie, he hesitates before trying the cookie. Before the credits are shown, they mention that this village is lively.
Pokémon Village, Beach, and Garden
The central area of the three games are similar to Pokémon Square and Treasure Town, however the area is different depending on which version the player is playing. Pokémon Village can only be found in Blazing, and is set around a volcano. Pokémon Beach can only be found in Stormy, and is set by the sea. Pokémon Garden can only be found in Light, and is set in a forest.
- Duskull Bank: Here, the player can store any money that the player may find in dungeons, or may obtain from selling different objects.
- Kangaskhan Warehouse: Here, the player can store items that the player finds in the dungeons, so the player doesn't lose them when the player faints inside a dungeon.
- Kecleon Shop: This area is manned by a single Kecleon, instead of two, as in the past games. Here, the player can buy items, such as orbs and berries.
- Gastrodon Shop: Here, the player can get their Treasure Chests opened for 100 Poké by a pair of Gastrodon. This feature is not opened up at the beginning of the game.
- Slaking Move Relearner: Slaking can teach the player's Pokémon attacks which it has forgotten, but only those that it can learn via level-up.
- The Slowking Elder: Slowking will send the player out on missions to help other Pokémon, similar to Wigglytuff from Wigglytuff's Guild.

Playable characters
Only two members of the squad are allowed into the first dungeon, and these are chosen by a selection screen rather than a quiz. They are shown wanting to save Shuckle, of which Slowking is glad of. Those not chosen are left with Slowking and can be switched out for at any time, and are allowed to be nicknamed later a single time each.

Trivia
- These are the only Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games to have separate dungeons for each version. Each version features 15 unique dungeons and, when all combined, equal 45 unique dungeons which is up to the standard of other Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games.
- These were the only Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games originally released on a home video game console, until the release of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX.
- These are the first Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games that do not have a quiz that determines what Pokémon the player will be. Instead, the player selects two Pokémon to use in the first dungeon.
- These are the only Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games that do not feature a human as the main character.
- In fact, many tropes set by other Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games are absent in these games, such as plot twists, amnesiac arcs, and emotional separations between the main pair.
- In the United States copyright filings for the games, the titles of the games are translated twice. The first set of names are literal translations: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Keep Going! Blazing Adventure Squad, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Let's Go! Stormy Adventure Squad, and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Go For It! Light Adventure Squad. The second set of names are written in the same way as Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky with the element written last: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Forward! Adventurers of Flame, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Let's Go! Adventurers of Storm, and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Aspire! Adventurers of Light.[2][3][4]
- The Ancient Treasure collection in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, which features looplets named after previous games in the series, translates the ほのおのリングル Blazing Looplet, あらしのリングル Stormy Looplet, and ひかりのリングル Light Looplet as the Wildfire Looplet, Tempest Looplet, and Radiance Looplet, respectively.
