Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness/Getting Started

From StrategyWiki, the free strategy guide and walkthrough wiki

The first time you play the game, you cannot skip the cutscenes of the first screens, you'll be able to do so after your first save.


[edit] The Main Menu

For now, all you have in the menu is New Game and Nintendo WFC. Unless you want to change the settings, pick New Game, and the personality test will begin.


[edit] The Personality Test

Personality test

If you want to choose a specific Pokémon to be, read The personality test guide @ GameFaqs.

The pros and cons of each pokemon can be found on the Starter Guide @ GameFaqs.

As you probably guessed, like the previous games, you are a human turned into Pokémon, so the personality test is there to determine which Pokémon you are. After answering the questions you'll be asked to touch the touch screen to have your aura analized (you can touch with theStylus buttonif you want). You will be told which aura color you have, and which Pokémon you are.

Right after that, Chapter 1 will begin.
