The Explorers games have become somewhat notorious for the sheer amount of frightening situations contained therein. An Updated Re-release, Explorers of Sky, was released in 2009 with additional features, including bonus chapters focusing on side characters. Explorers of Time and Darkness, another pair of games with minor differences between them, released in 2008 and featuring Pokémon from the fourth generation, a tighter Story Arc, and many tweaks to the underlying gameplay.A remake for Nintendo Switch, Rescue Team DX, released in March 2020. Like the main series, there were a few minor differences between the Red and Blue versions, but both were required for true 100% Completion note if one didn't have the proper Wonder Mail codes. Red and Blue Rescue Team were released for the Game Boy Advance and the Nintendo DS in 2005.The Pokémon themselves are represented faithfully with 8-directional walking and attacking sprites and dialogue portraits (an impressive feat in and of itself!). The gameplay is what you would expect from a Roguelike, except with battle mechanics loosely resembling those of the main Pokémon series: All 700-plus individual species (which you can "recruit" to become members of your team), all 18 elemental types, moves, abilities, and Status Effects from the main series show up in a manner better suited to the different nature of gameplay. The second reason this spinoff series is notable? Because it's the first time we get to hear exactly what the Pokémon are saying underneath all the Pokémon Speak we've come to expect. They become best friends with another Pokémon, form an adventure team, and go on a Quest for Identity over the course of many adventures, as clues about their Mysterious Past reveal that their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world from imminent destruction. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon as a whole is notable from the main series for two reasons, one being that it's the first entries in the entire Pokémon franchise to place special emphasis on Character Development and a compelling Story Arc (as opposed to the series's usual quest To Be a Master and to Gotta Catch Them All), typically involving humans who awaken in the Pokémon's world to discover that they've somehow been transformed into Pokémon themselves. The games center around a world populated exclusively by Pokémon (with no humans to be seen), who live in towns and cities, run shops, and go on adventures in randomly generated dungeons. A Pokémon themed entry in Spike Chunsoft's (originally Chunsoft's before the merger with Spike) Mystery Dungeon ( Fushigi no Dungeon) Roguelike franchise.
