Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time (ポケモン不思議のダンジョン時の探検隊, Pokemon Fushigi no Danjon Toki no Tankentai, lit. "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Time Exploration Team") and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness (ポケモン不思議のダンジョン闇の探検隊, Pokemon Fushigi no Danjon Yami no Tankentai, lit. "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Darkness Exploration Team") are a matched pair of Pokémon games for the Nintendo DS. The two games were released in Japan on September 13 2007, and is set to be released in North America in quarter 2 of 2008.^[1]

A 21-minute TV special based on the game aired in Japan on September 9, 2007.

Known information

There is a guild for beginners. It includes multiple rooms with new Pokémon on every floor. The town remains the same from the original Mystery Dungeon with some changes to the shop owners. Two examples of owner changes are Duskull replacing Persian at the Poké Bank, and Marowak replacing Makuhita with the Poké Gym.

All 491 officially revealed Pokémon will be included to be obtainable although some will require special Nintendo Wondermail to unlock the event. Shaymin and Arceus have not been officially revealed by Nintendo yet, so they have not been included in the game. This game will also have more exploring in dungeons rather than rescuing. Most starting Pokémon from the first game will be reappearing in this game, though a few of them will be replaced by the current fourth generation starters (Piplup, Turtwig, and Chimchar). Despite rumors that have spread early on, Riolu is not one of the available starters: the only fourth-generation Pokemon available as starters are Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup,and Munchlax. Most legendary pokemon can be recruited like the first game but for some, a special item in a certain dungeon or a wonder mail password will be required.

The story is promised to be even more developed than its predecessor, and the issue of the thinning of the relationship between the player and his or her partner will be taken into consideration. There are also species related items which only affect certain Pokemon.

Each version has its own exclusives. The following go as listed:

Exclusives to Explorers or Darkness: Mewtwo, Burmy(Wormadam & Mothim are found in time), Buneary, Lopunny, Rotom,

Exclusives to Explorers of Time: Celebi, Combee(Vespiqueen is found in Darkness), Pachirisu, Riolu, Lucario,

Sales

As of September 30 2007, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness have sold 1.29 million copies in Japan.^[2]
