Amazon.co.uk Review
One day you awake to find that you’ve been turned into a Pokémon and the land around you is being destroyed by natural disasters. It’s up to you to explore dungeons filled with wild monsters and uncover your true destiny and purpose in a game where you get to "be" a Pokémon.

The lowdown:
Rather than being one of the core role-playing games in the Pokémon series this is a spin-off based on ChunSoft’s long running (in Japan at least) Mystery Dungeon series. The basic idea is that you enter a random generated dungeon and defeat all the wild Pokémon you find within it. Most of the standbys of the Pokémon world also make an appearance, including Technical Machines that enable you to lean new abilities, resistances and weakness to different elemental attacks. You can’t capture wild Pokémon but you can recruit them to your team, which adds something to your strategic options. Admittedly the game can get repetitive, but there’s generally enough to see and do until the "real" Pokémon sequels come out sometime next year.

Most exciting moment:
The combat is a clever mix between real-time and turn-based combat, with wild Pokémon moving about the dungeon at the same time as you. You can have four Pokémon in your team at once, with the computer controlling the other three, and each can have four attacks or abilities each. If you’re sensible you’ll put together a varied team so you’ve got an attack ready for whatever enemy comes your way.

Since you ask:
As with most Pokémon titles there are two versions of the game, in this case one for the DS and one for the GBA. They’re both essentially the same, except with different distributions of Pokémon in each. The DS does have a couple of extra options though, as well as an easier to use touch screen interface.

The bottom line:
Not the deepest Pokémon game ever but you’ll still find yourself wanting to catch ‘em all. - HARRISON DENT

Best Pokemon game so far!
I think this game is excellent and I have become completely addicted to it.

The main object of the game is to go on rescue missions to help save pokemon in trouble. On these missions, you can pick up objects (like berries) by stepping on them and defend yourself against wild pokemon, either by using your pokemon's moves, or by throwing things at them, like stones, from a distance. Pokemon randomly become your friends if you defeat them in battle, have enough space on your rescue team, have purchased their friend area (a place where they can live) and you have a higher level than them.

The first thing that you need to do in the game is to fill in a questionnaire to determine what pokemon you'll turn into. There are about 16 possible pokemon that you can turn into (including all the main starter pokemon from the previous games). Once you find out what pokemon you are, you get to choose a friend pokemon to accompany you on your adventures. You can only choose a friend that isn't the same type as you, and is from the original list of 16 pokemon that you could have turned into. Then, you take your first steps into the truly wonderful world of pokemon!

The first part of the game is a story adventure, in which you try to find out why you've turned into a pokemon and why there are strange natural disasters happening in the world. The story is delivered a little bit at a time, in between rescue missions, and unfolds through dream sequences and scenes that are acted out by other pokemon. In these action scenes, the pokemon move about and say things (you can understand what they're saying). When they say things, you get to see a close-up of their facial expressions, which is incredibly cute!

The storyline is great and very entertaining. All of the characters are portrayed in such a cute way and you can get a real sense of their personalities. You can even become quite attached to some of them (particularly your friend pokemon)!

In the second part of the game, you mostly just keep going on rescue missions to try and befriend all of the different types of pokemon. You no longer need to be the pokemon you originally turned into, but can control any of the pokemon that you have befriended. You also get to evolve pokemon (which you can't do in the story part of the game).

Overall, I found this to be the best and most exciting pokemon game so far. I found the game-play to be much more interesting than previous games, as it involves more strategy and variety, and it is also immensely cute! This game is an absolute must for any pokemon fan.

Pokemon Blue ranger-A childs view!
I Like this game! The pictures really clear and bright and i love the fact that you actually get to be a pokemon which is a good change! Another good feature is that the pokemon talk!

When you first get this game you get asked lots of questions about your personality and you have to pick answers from multiple choice questions! (I was really happy that i was pikachu!) Then you get to choose your partner to go on adventures with. You get a choice of about 10 pokemon including bulbsaur and squirtle wich i picked! Then you set off on your journey. Firsltly you have to rescue a lost caterpie from a forest! After that you make a sort of rescue team where you can choose a name for ur team and get to save different pokemon for different rewards!

The only bad features are that it can get a little repetitive and its practically the same as the red GBA version (As it even says on the box!) but overall i think its fun and worth buying !

pokemon mystery fun
This is a great game. At the beggining you get asked a number of questions and then you get turned into a pokemon that is decided by your answers and then you get to pick a partner however you can't choose a partner that is the same type as the pokemon that you got turned into. It gets 4 stars because you can only evolve at a special stone and in certain dungeons all the pokemon in your rescue force go down to level 1. Overall it's a good game and you should buy it when it comes out.
