Item Description

You wake up as a Pokemon with no memory of how you got there, and no idea that you used to be human. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team opens with a personality quiz that decides which species you become, pairs you with a partner Pokemon, and sends the two of you off to found a rescue team in a world where natural disasters are getting worse by the day. It was a very different kind of Pokemon game, and for a lot of players it hit harder emotionally than anyone expected.

Developer Chunsoft brought the formula from its long-running Mystery Dungeon series, which made it a natural match. Dungeons are randomly generated floor by floor, and every step you take is a turn, with every enemy on the floor moving in step with you. Type matchups, positioning, hunger and careful use of items all matter as you push through places like Mt. Steel and Sinister Woods toward the legendary Sky Tower. Back at Pokemon Square, the job bulletin board and the mail from the Pelipper Post Office keep handing you new rescues, while Friend Areas let you recruit the Pokemon you befriend into a growing roster.

The story is where Red Rescue Team earns its reputation. A legend about Ninetales and a human who wronged it, a rival team led by Gengar and a turn that forces you and your partner to go on the run build into a finale with stakes far beyond a typical spin-off. The bond between you and your partner is the heart of it, and the ending still gets talked about years later. The music, written for the GBA's modest sound chip, punches well above its weight.

Released in Japan in 2005 and North America in 2006, Red Rescue Team launched alongside Blue Rescue Team on the Nintendo DS, the GBA and DS versions of the same adventure. A 2020 Switch remake introduced the story to a new audience, but this is the original Game Boy Advance version, sprites and all, the start of a series that went on to Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky.
