Pokémon world (Mystery Dungeon): Difference between revisions

In the present day, the world is primarily inhabited by Pokémon. Some of these Pokémon have organized into rescue and exploration [[team]]s, exploring mystery dungeon and rescuing Pokémon needing help. In addition to Pokémon, only a few humans are known to live in this world, leading to their existence being mostly relegated to fairy tales, myths, and legends. Despite this, some of these humans have become [[Pokémon Trainer|partners]] with Pokémon, such as {{mdc|Gardevoir|1}} and {{mdc|Grovyle|2}}.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], the player is a human who has been transformed into a Pokémon. Having lost his/her memory, the player enters a world affected by an imbalance in nature, resulting in a growing number of natural disasters. Meeting his/her {{pkmn2|partner}} soon after his/her arrival, they form a rescue team to assist Pokémon in need of help. Together, they find that the [[Ninetales legend]] foretold that a greedy {{pkmn|Trainer}} would be reborn as a Pokémon, resulting in these disasters. This human is determined to not be the player, but rather {{p|Gengar}} of [[Team Meanies]]. However, it is ultimately revealed that a falling star heading towards the planet is the true cause of the disasters, and that the player came from the human world to save the Pokémon world, having chosen to erase his/her memory of being a human. Upon saving the world with the assistance of {{p|Rayquaza}}, the player briefly returns to the human world before deciding to return to the Pokémon world.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], the player washes up unconscious on a beach following a time-traveling accident that turned him/her from a human into a Pokémon, having lost their memories. The player is found by a Pokémon who eventually becomes his/her partner, forming an exploration team and joining [[Wigglytuff's Guild]]. The flow of time is being disrupted by the theft of the [[Time Gears]] and the collapse of [[Temporal Tower]]. The player and {{mdc|Grovyle|2}} came from a dark future ruled by [[Primal Dialga]] to prevent the paralysis of the planet. After successfully bringing the Time Gears to Temporal Tower, the player disappears from existence, but is brought back to life by Dialga as thanks. It is later revealed that {{p|Darkrai}} had masterminded a plan to cause the collapse of Temporal Tower, as well as transforming the player into a Pokémon and erasing his/her memories.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], the player has a strange dream hearing a Pokémon call for help and is transformed into a Pokémon. In the Pokémon world, the player encounters the partner Pokémon, who has a dream of building a [[Pokémon Paradise]]. {{mdc|Hydreigon|gti}} called upon the player to save the Pokémon world from the [[Bittercold]], a creature made of Pokémon's negative emotions that is trying to destroy the planet. Upon defeating it, the player departs for the human world, rising to the sky in a ball of light. The player's partner heads to the [[Worldcore]] to make a wish at the Hill of Universal Order in order to let the player return to the Pokémon world and freely travel between the two worlds.

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], the player has been transformed from a human into a Pokémon, losing all memory of being a human. Soon after, {{mdc|Nuzleaf|smd}} takes the player into his care, and enrolls him/her in the [[Serene Village]] school. With the partner, the two Pokémon join the [[Expedition Society]] in [[Lively Town]]. Across the world, Pokémon have mysteriously been turned to stone, causing the Expedition Society to begin investigating it. However, they themselves are turned to stone and sent to the [[Voidlands]], where it is revealed that Dark Matter has resurfaced, aiming to possess the Tree of Life once again. With the help of many other Pokémon, Dark Matter is defeated for good. The player realizes that they may have to return to the human world, but after their partner learns that they are a reincarnation of Mew and have fulfilled their role, the partner disappears, rising to the sky in a ball of light. The player eventually demonstrates their desire for the partner to return at [[Purifying Cave]], restoring the partner to existence.
