Is it still worth playing?
Chunsoft's 2009 enhanced version for the Nintendo DS of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness. A human is mysteriously transformed into a Pokémon, which a personality test at the start decides. Five more starters are playable, including Phanpy, Riolu, Shinx, Eevee and Vulpix, and some are available only to one gender. This version adds the missing Generation IV Pokémon, Special Episodes that develop a few side characters and quality of life improvements to options and items. Lookalike items appear early on, with a letter changed in their names, and have different effects from the originals. After the main story there are new optional dungeons, rare items and new missions. Your first run is still your own, since a personality test decides which Pokémon you become.
