 Good idea, bad idea May 14, 2008
The thing that enticed me was the cool concept of turning into a Pokemon and didn't have to be a trainer. Even though I really love the Red/Blue/Yellow/Gold/Silver/Diamond/Pearl games, I'm sorry to say that this one was too repetitive and overall boring. You wake up, you go outside to your buddy that says the same hello everyday, you get a help letter in your mailbox, you go to a maze dungeon, you go up the many flights of stairs, you talk to the pokemon, go back to the post office, they give you a prize for saving them, you get your buddy saying "we sure did well today, didn't we?" and go to sleep. It's boring. Anyway, I'll give you a list of why this one doesn't deserve the Pokemon brand name that we've come to love:
-The same sayings from the buddy pokemon, again and again every "day".
-You wake up and go to sleep before and after every mission, it gets tiring. Even if you don't complete any missions and you happen to wander into dungeon, when you come out, you still go to bed.
-Stairs in dungeons are often right there in the same room with you, no challenge to find them or reason to go through the entire maze, you can easily escape to the next level if you want. That may be a good or bad thing.
-When you meet the pokemon you are saving, you have to chase them around the screen and get them up against a wall so that your pokemon and that pokemon don't run circles around each other, just so you can click on them to talk to them. What an awful glitch, it's frustrating.
-When a pokemon joins your team in a dungeon, you have to protect over them otherwise they will get killed. Unlike the other PKMN games, if they die in this game before you reach the end of the dungeon, you lose them forever.
-When in a dungeon and your team-mates are under attack, you can't instantly move over to help them. The game demands that you wait your "turn" to move one space (that counts as an attack). This becomes a problem when you are toting a newly-joined pokemon that is lv1 who is four spaces away from you and is battling a lv15 pokemon. Your new member attacks, the cave pkmn attacks, you move 1 space. They will die by time you get there.
-You get two letters of "How To's" in your mailbox per day. You'd figure this would be cool and you'd learn everything within five days or so. Not so! They send you about 20 letters to tell you even the most basic things, some which after my 30th mission, I STILL don't know how to do. I wish they would've gave you a big lump of them in the beginning, a giant "HOW TO" that would tell you everything, instead of sporadically getting them in the mail every once in awhile. I feel I'm not playing as well as I could be. They become so backlogged too, I'm on my 20th mission and they just sent me one on "how to move your character". O_o
-The "Which Pokemon Are You" quiz was sorta cute, but I found myself often times not becoming a pokemon I liked. I ran through the quiz numerous times and gave any answer, but somehow kept getting Pikachu or Bulbasaur. I wanted to be something a little more exciting.
-So, what about the graphics? Well, the only thing that is 3D is the post office and the clouds. Big deal. The sprites are like the ones in Diamond/Pearl, and the dungeons are as graphically plain as the caves in Gold/Silver (unfortunately the sprites and dungeons are what you see the most of). Diamond/Pearl had more 3D graphics than this game did.
Overall, the dumbed-down and graphic-lacking simplicity of Mystery Dungeon appears like it was built for Game Boy Color. There is also very little of a plot to keep your interest and get you to pick up the game again. This game is a one-trick pony, when you've done one dungeon, you've done them all. If you still are interested in this game, please do yourself a favor and wait until it reaches the dollar bin at a used game store.
 great game!!!!! March 21, 2008
I think that every pokemon fan should have this game. In the game, you wake up one day as a pokemon, and another pokemon wants you and him to form a rescue team. together, you go into dungeons and save lost and hurt pokemon. Occasionally, a pokemon will offer to join your team. Its really fun, and you never know what's going to happen next. There are brand new items, that you can not find in other pokemon games. It is a unique game.

It is pretty stupid because you cannot catch pokemon which is one of the biggest things in pokemon. The pokemon dont evolve either and my kids never play the game.

Bought this for my 8 year old, she's bored with it and I got it for her less than a year ago. I guess with all the new Pokemon games lately this one isn't that great!
Fun, but gets old after a while... January 5, 2008

Ok. So, I got this as a present, and I've been a Pokemon fan for a while and I was pretty excited. This has it's own Pros and Cons, so I'll go over both.
PROS
-AMAZING story line. For the Pokemon company, I was impressed. Usually the story lines of their movies and other games are a bore, but PMD is a different situation. Very exciting, plus humorous. I found myself laughing in my chair at one point, and my parents looked at me weird.
-The personality test was a great feature. Based on the answers you chose, the game chooses the best Pokemon you'd be. This can be a bad thing sometimes, because you may end up with a Pokemon you really don't like, but you can always turn off the power.
-As I said before, FUNNY!
-Once the story plot is over, there's TONS more to do.
CONS
-Graphics aren't the best, but they don't majorly suck or anything. Still, disappoint there.
-Dungeons are practically all the same...and they get extremely boring.
-Lastly, after you finished the game once, you lose interest in the game.
