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 Pokémon available as starters are Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup,and Munchlax. Most legendary Pokémon can be recruited like the first game but for some, a special item which is known as the Enigma Part or the ancient Stone Plate is required, or a wonder mail code will be required. Also each version will have its won exclusives which are pokemon that are only available in that specific version.

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 Pokémon.

After helping the partner defeat two Pokémon criminals, a Koffing and a Zubat, your partner suggest that you form an exploration team, and you accept.

Over the course of the game, you try to uncover the mysteries of your coming to this world, as well as thwarting an evil plot to control time by a mysterious Pokémon villain.
