The story is written well, although obviously meant for a slightly younger crowd than my late twenties. The art is crisp and adorable, and I love how we get to see the Pokemon in closeups--seeing their expressions helps draw you in. I also liked how you had to answer questions to see what Pokemon you would end up becoming. But I didn't really see the whole point of the "analyzing your aura" segment, and it was difficult for me to figure out what to do at that part. You can choose which Pokemon you would like to be your partner, and there are a lot of good choices. I recommend trying to find one that is a totally different type than you are, just to cover as many bases as possible. For example, if you end up as Mudkip or Pikachu, I would recommend picking Torchic or Chikorita. But you can of course make your own decisions.
As far as the fighting goes, it is NOT set up like other Pokemon games. It is still turn-based, but you don't get the iconic setup of the other games or the big menus--instead, you get text scrolling up and down over the screen, and it moves VERY fast. Basically, all I have time to do really is just hit the A button over and over, pouncing on the enemy. You can still use special attacks, but you don't really see much of the attack on the screen and the damage info whizzes by. The battles are generally pretty short. You still level up and learn new things, as does your partner Pokemon. There are a lot of little menus to sift through. And the fact that you can carry only one item bugs me, although it makes sense.
In all, I like this game, but I don't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. I still prefer Pokemon Diamond over this one. But, it is still worth the money, I think.Get more detail about Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time.
