"Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Time Exploration Team") and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness (ポケモン不思議のダンジョン 闇の探検隊, Pokémon Fushigi no Danjon Yami no Tankentai?, lit. "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Darkness Exploration Team") are a matched pair of Pokémon games for the Nintendo DS. The two games were released in Japan on September 13, 2007, and were released in North America on April 20, 2008.[1]
A 21-minute TV special based on the game starring Kurumi Mamiya aired in Japan on September 9, 2007 as a content of the program relating Pokémon, "Pokémon Sunday" produced by TV Tokyo Corporation. The special will air in the USA on Cartoon Network prior to the games release on April 20, 2008.
There is a guild for beginners. It includes multiple rooms with new Pokémon on every floor. The town is now changed and is now called Treasure Town. It has a whole new landscape with some changes to the shop owners. Two examples of owner changes are Duskull replacing Persian at the Poké Bank, and Marowak replacing Makuhita with the Poké Gym.
More than 490 Pokémon will be included to be obtainable;[2] although, some will require Wondermail to unlock the event. Shaymin and Arceus had not been officially revealed by Nintendo by the time of the Japenese release, so they have not been included in the game. This game will focus on exploring in dungeons rather than rescuing. Most starting Pokémon from the last two games will be reappearing in this game, though a few of them will be replaced by the current fourth generation starters. Despite rumors that have spread early on, Riolu is not one of the available starters: the only fourth-generation Pokémon available as starters are Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup,and Munchlax. Most legendary Pokémon can be recruited like the first game, but for some, a special item known as the Enigma Part, ancient Stone Plate or wonder mail code will be required. Also, each version will have its own exclusives; Pokémon that are only available in that specific version, for example Celebi will only be in Explorers of Time and Mewtwo will only be in Explorers of Darkness; however all exclusive Pokémon can be unlocked in each version by using Wonder Mail codes. Another function has also been added into the game, the player can now have temporary party members from the guild into their party, therefore having more than 4 party members.
The story was promised to be even more developed than its predecessor, and the issue of the thinning of the relationship between the player and his or her partner was taken into consideration. There are also species related items which only affect certain Pokémon. |

Everyone's Pokemon Ranch
"Everyone's Pokemon Ranch" is a sub-game that is available for WiiWare. It's not yet available in North America.
| Wikipedia wrote: | Everyone's Pokémon Ranch allows players to transfer up to 1,000 of their Pokémon from Diamond and Pearl to a farm run by a woman named Yukari. Here they can view their Pokémon (rendered in 3D) while using their Miis to interact with them.
Players do not need to own Pokémon Diamond and Pearl to play Everyone's Pokémon Ranch. Players without the Nintendo DS game will be given 6 starter Pokémon (including a Pikachu), and will be given a new Pokémon at the start of each day. Players with the game can transfer up to 20 Pokémon a day.
Additionally, each day Yukari will give the player requests for certain Pokémon not in the player's Pokédex to be added to the farm, along with clues on where to find them in Diamond and Pearl. It has also been confirmed that you could obtain Mew and Phione are also available in a trade. Upon fulfilling these requests, the player will gain new items such as a bell that calls the Pokémon to the player. Yukari can also trade certain Pokémon she already has in her possession. Eventually, adding more Pokémon to the farm unlocks new features to the game and to the farm itself.
Similar to the actions in the Mii Channel's plaza, the Pokémon on the farm can perform different idle actions, such as talking and playing with each other and sleeping. Players are also able to take snapshots of their Pokémon and send them to friends registered on their Wii. A simple HUD shows the ability to monitor the time and the number of Pokémon in the ranch.
Apart from storing collected Pokémon on the farm, players are otherwise unable to further train or level up their Pokémon on the farm. |

Japan - March 25th, 2008

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Brawl is currently available in Japan and North America. Europe and Australia's release dates are still to-be-announced.
| Wikipedia wrote: | Super Smash Bros. Brawl (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズX, Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu Ekkusu?, lit. "Great Melee Smash Brothers X"), often abbreviated SSBB or Brawl, is a crossover fighting game developed by Sora and published by Nintendo for the Wii console.[6] As the third installment of the Super Smash Bros. series, Brawl's character roster expands from that of its predecessor, and is the first in the series to feature third-party characters.[7] Most of the game's music is made up of pieces from previously released video games, some of them rearranged by 38 renowned video game composers.[8]
Brawl was announced at a pre-E3 press conference by Nintendo president and CEO Satoru Iwata.[9] Later that night, Masahiro Sakurai, the director of the previous two games in the Smash Bros. series, accepted the role of director for the third installment.[10] When development of the game began in October 2005,[11] Nintendo had enlisted the help of various outside developers in an office in Tokyo exclusively for it's development. At E3 2007, Nintendo of America's president, Reggie Fils-Aime, stated that the game would be released on December 3, 2007 in the Americas.[12] However, the game would later be delayed to February 10, 2008[13] and then again to March 9, 2008[14] when it was released.
As with its predecessors, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a departure from traditional fighting games, notably in its simplified move commands and its emphasis on ring outs over knockouts. This installment includes a deeper single-player mode than its predecessors, known as The Subspace Emissary. This mode is a plot-driven, side-scrolling beat 'em up story featuring CGI cut scenes and playable characters from the game. It also supports multiplayer battles with up to four combatants, and is the first game of its franchise to support online battles through the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.[15] The game was met with generally positive critical reviews,[16] and has currently sold over one and a half million units in Japan[17] and approximately 2.70 million in North America.[18] |
Pokemon characters in this game include Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Lucario, and Pokemon Trainer (PT, the trainer from FR/LG, can switch between Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard). There is also a PokeBall item which can release are: Bellossom, Bonsly, Celebi, Chikorita, Deoxys, Electrode, Entei, Gardevoir, Goldeen, Groudon, Gulpin, Ho-Oh, Jirachi, Kyogre, Latias, Latios, Lugia, Manaphy, Meowth, Metagross, Mew, Moltres, Munchlax, Piplup, Snorlax, Staryu, Suicune, Togepi, Torchic, Weavile, and Wobbuffet.

Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin
"Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin" is the working title for the 11th Pokemon movie.
| Wikipedia wrote: | In addition to Regigigas, Dialga and Palkia were shown in both the teaser trailer and on the first poster for the film. Giratina's appearance and the current working title of the film were revealed in a second teaser trailer towards the end of 2007. In the March issue of CoroCoro Comic, it was revealed that Giratina has two forms: "Another Forme," the form seen in the Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl games as well as on the film's first poster; and "Origine Forme," which is seen in the final poster. The Origine Forme is the form Giratina takes when it travels between dimensions. Shaymin was also confirmed to appear in the March issue of CoroCoro Comic. In another trailer, it is shown that Giratina can travel through dimensions by a strange purple wind that look like streaks of power. One of Giratina's dimensions is shown in a trailer as a foggy place with floating islands, covered with a strange green thing like moss or grass. A middle island is covered in moss/grass, and in the middle is a ritual pallete, with six symbols. The six symbols are: Dialga, Palkia, Shaymin, Regigigas, and Heatran. In the middle is a Giratina in Origine Form.
In one of the teaser trailers it was said that "the battle of the Pokémon legends called is not over yet!", implying a direct connection to the previous film. The final poster for the film does not contain images of either Dialga or Palkia, although Dialga is shown battling Giratina in a trailer released in March 2008, on the official website for the film. The Origine Forme of Giratina is shown on the final poster with the tagline: "Pokemon will follow the new light."
In a new trailer released on April 18, 2008, it is shown that Shaymin is able to comunicate by Telepathy, and he befriends the group. |
