Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness/Walkthrough

Note that the following walkthrough is for the Japanese version, and is meant for American players who don't know Japanese.

Opening

Just keep answering the questions, however the last one will ask if you're male or female, so just answer the 2-answer questions with whatever gender you may want to be(Male being top, female being bottom). Once you get the Pokemon you want, choose your partner. However, if you got Pikachu, Meowth, Skitty, or Munchlax, you can't choose your partner. Then when the bottom screen just has that foggy-looking thing, keep circling around the screen with your stylus. Now you are ready!

Chapter One

You will wake up on a beach, and the Pokemon you chose as your partner (for shortening purposes, this guide will call your partner "Pikachu") will come up and ask your name. Type in the name you want (You can only choose a 5-letter name). Then a Koffing and Zubat will bump into Pikachu and steal his rock. Pikachu will ask for your help in getting it back.

Seashore Cave

Boss: Koffing, Zubat

Floors:4+Bottom

Keep traversing through the dungeon, beating up the monsters, however, don't try to pick up the items, since you have no Toolbox yet. After four floors, you will meet the Bosses.

Koffing

HP: 30

Type: Poison

Zubat

HP: 30

Type: Poison, Flying

Hold B and press A to get them to come to you; go after them, and they'll get a free hit on you. Start pounding into the Zubat first will your attacking move (Which should do about 10 damage a shot). Then go after Koffing. Eventually, they'll lose.

They'll give Pikachu's rock back, and Pikachu will ask you if you want to make an Exploration team. Since you have no choice anyway, just say yes.

Chapter Two

Pikachu will show you the guild, and now, since he has a team member(You), he can join the guild. They'll let the two of you in. You'll start talking to Wigglytuff, the guild leader. You'll get the toolbox, and choose a name for your team (Note that after you choose your name, when Chapter 3 starts, you can change your team name.) Then after awhile Chatot will lead you to the B2 Floor of the guild, and you'll receive a mission. You'll be led to there.

Damp Rockground

Boss:None

Floors:6

Now would be the time to stock up on items, since now you have a Toolbox. The enemies are not too hard, even for Fire types. Just keep going, you should be fine. Also remember to defeat all the enemies for extra EXP, since the next dungeon can be brutal otherwise.

Once you get to Floor 6, you will find Spoink's Pearl, the item you were looking for. When you get back to the guild, Spoink will reward you with 2000 Poke, but apparently, the guild only allows you to keep 10% of it, meaning you only keep 200 of it. Oh, well, you still have 200 Poke! Be sure to store it with Duskull in Chapter 3!

Chapter 3 coming soon...
