What they all have in common is that they are more centered in trying to adapt the main series gameplay mechanics in different formats and this is usually the source of there success, some fans not that interested in the storytelling such as Pokemon Snap, Pokemon Conquest or the first Pokemon Ranger game.

If you think about it, there is certainly some truth to it and a Pokemon spin-off that relies heavily on storytelling as it's main source of popularity and not it's gameplay is kind of a contradiction with other Pokemon games, spin-offs and even physical games like the TCG. It got me thinking? Do Pokemon fans even care about the gameplay? Do they just want to enjoy the story, characters and lore? With that being said, would they want to see other devs do there own take on the Mystery Dungeon universe rather then see the same randomly-generated dungeons that we all know. As someone who looks at, the largest fanfic site out there, from time to time, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is an extremely popular topic for storytelling by fans.

However it seems the reason why Mystery Dungeon has stayed alive so long is it's storytelling. Most Pokmeon spin-offs praised highly for it's quality but Mystery Dungeon usually gets mixed reviews for it's repetitive game-play formula. If you look at Mystery Dungeon's reviews, it's actually quite mixed and when I say mixed I mean poorly reviewed by Pokemon standards. And if you think about it, Mystery Dungeon's popularity is hugely contradicting with it's reviews. Like if you look at other fan websites, Mystery Dungeon is sometimes included as it's own section separate from the other Pokemon content, a luxury that most Pokemon spinoffs do not get. It's arguably not only the most successful spin-off Pokemon series but it's fanbase is surprisingly one of the strongest for a spin-off. These Pokémon versions of the classic Mystery Dungeon games are both connectable with eachother and Blue is connectable with Pokémon Torouze.So I honestly think Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is actually one of the few spinoffs that may deserve it's own section from the other spin-offs. While in dungeons your Pokémon can also get hungry which lowers it's HP adding a whole new game mechanic When in dungeons you may see Wild Pokémon, you can just attack them and the battle starts without changing the scene. The battling is a mixture of real-time battling & the turn based battles classic to Pokémon. There is a lot to do in this game such as getting all 386 to join your rescue force, doing as many missions as possible, getting a high rescue force rank, just doing anything you can. They get lost in dungeons or lose items in dungeons.and you need to rescue them with your rescue forceĪll 386 Pokémon are obtainable in this game to join your rescue force and are seen by battling them in one of the almost 50 dungeons, some of them with massive Legendary Bosses at the end of them such as Rayquaza, Deoxys or Mewtwo. What you have to do is help out Pokémon who have asked for your help. You immediately get to choose a partner who will constantly travel with you until you beat the game. Your task, to complete the dungeons and find a way to return back to human form.
