Item Description

Every morning at Wigglytuff's Guild starts the same way: the apprentices line up, Chatot calls for order, and everyone recites the guild's three vows before heading out for the day. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness makes you one of those apprentices, a human turned Pokémon who washes up on a beach with no memory, joined by a partner who has dreamed of becoming an explorer but needed someone to take the first step with. Developed by Chunsoft and released for the Nintendo DS in 2008 in North America, it is the companion version to Explorers of Time, telling the same story with a slightly different set of Pokémon to find.

The guild gives the game its warmth. Treasure Town supplies the Kecleon brothers' shop, a bank and a link shop for teaching moves, while your guildmates, including the loud Loudred, the excitable Sunflora and the cheerful Bidoof, become a real supporting cast. Daily chores range from job-board requests and outlaw captures to sentry duty, where you identify visitors by their footprints. Rival Team Skull, the scheming Zubat and Koffing, never miss a chance to cause trouble.

In the dungeons the classic Mystery Dungeon rules apply. Floors are randomly generated, every step you take gives every enemy a turn, and running out of items deep underground can unravel a whole expedition. Choosing a hero and partner from a wide range of Pokémon, then recruiting more along the way, makes each playthrough personal, and the strategy of setting team tactics and managing hunger and belongings rewards a careful hand.

What lifts Explorers above a simple dungeon crawler is its story. Time itself is coming apart, the Time Gears that hold it steady are vanishing, and the truth behind your lost memories turns the adventure into one of the most emotional stories Pokémon has told. Even after the credits, darkness has the last word: Darkrai waits in the post-game. This is the version to choose if you want the original telling of that tale, before Explorers of Sky expanded it, on the hardware it was made for.
