Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2 Overview

This is a overview of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2, that will be released on April 20, 2008. I have worked hard to make this as spoiler free was possible. Once the game comes out, I will be writing a walkthrough. So without further delay, here you go:

Known info

There is a guild for beginners. It includes multiple rooms with new Pok?on 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 Pok Bank, and Marowak replacing Makuhita with the Pok Gym. More than 490 Pok?on 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 Pok?on 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 Pok?on available as starters are Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup,and Munchlax. Most legendary Pok?on 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 own exclusives which are Pok?on that are only available in that specific version, for example Celebi will only be in Explorers of Time and Mewtwo will only be in Explorers of Darkness. All exclusive Pok?on from both versions can be unlocked in only one version by using Wonder Mail codes. However, both Celebi and Mewtwo can only be unlocked in only one version by using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. 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 Pok?on.

Final Note

It's hard to make this spoiler free, even though it is not totally spoiler free. That's all folks!
