Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon/Walkthrough

Gameplay

This is really just the starting sequence of the game where you choose the Pokémon you want to have as your character and partner, so don't expect much action here.

Chapter 0

This is the first part of the game. This basically involves a eight-question quiz determining the Pokemon you play as. You can change it after the quiz, so don't worry.

The seventh question will always be...

• All right! Vacation time at last! What kind of music fits your mood? (Note that only four of these choices will appear. Also, if you reject the player that's presented to you and pick a Pokémon that has the same type as the partner that would be presented to you, a Pokémon of a different type will be presented as your partner instead. For example, if you answer "fall" to the seasons question, which would make your player Chimchar, then answer "opera" to the music question, which would make your partner Totodile but reject Chimchar and pick Piplup, because Piplup and Totodile are both Water-types, you'll be presented with a Pokémon of a different type for your partner instead.)
  • Can't sit still. Time to polka! (Oshawott)
  • Feelin cool, so it's time for some jazz! (Froakie)

The eighth question will always be...

  • Cool! (Male)
  • Cute. ♪ (Female)

After The Quiz

After the quiz, you will then be able to change the Pokémon that was chosen to whichever one you want, if it doesn't suit you. You can choose whatever Pokémon you want for your main character, but it's recommended to have a water type for better maneuvers in watery dungeons. Also, because some of the storyline dungeons have a ton of Fire types. When you are ready, the game will begin.

Chapter 1

The game will begin with the player waking up in a small clearing within a forest. The player notices how thirsty they are and heads over to a pool in the clearing. After taking a drink (and exclaiming how fresh and delicious the water was), they realize that they are a Pokémon. They begin to freak out again before hearing weird noises coming from the Beeheeyem nearby. The Beeheeyem attack, causing the player to run. They run until they run into Nuzleaf, who also gets hit by the Beeheeyem, causing both of the Pokémon to run. They run through the first two dungeons, with Nuzleaf explaining the way the game works. After getting through the dungeons, Nuzleaf decides to take the player to Serene Village, where the player will meet their partner in the game.

Chapter 2

The moment the two of them get home, Nuzleaf says he will enroll the player in the school to avoid suspicion. Then, while exploring the house, the player hears a noise coming from behind the house that is going towards the front of the house. The noise is the players partner, who shows them around the village before the villagers completely trample the player trying to get the partner. Now you can just free roam at this point, so do that. Don't go to the entrance of the village yet, take a minute to explore. After you explore a little, walk over to the gate near the Kecleon Shop and a cutscene will play where two kids are arguing... odd... go through the gate and follow them. The kids near the beginning of the dungeon will tell you to find their friend Goomy. The dungeon is a bit harder. Don't worry. 5 floors in, you'll find Goomy, who came there on a dare. After showing Pancham and the kids his proof, Pancham and his friend Shelmet run off and show the village Gommy's bad handwriting. Later on, Nuzleaf understands how you want to explore, and doesn't blame you for leaving the house. The next day, the principal of the school introduces you to the class, who already knows you. As soon as he's done talking, your partner straight up slams into you and knocks you out.

Later on, after school, your partner asks to be your friend. Just say yes.
