'''Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン{{tt|超不思議|ちょうふしぎ}}のダンジョン''' ''Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon'') is an upcoming [[Nintendo 3DS]] title that is a part of the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]. It is the tenth entry in Japan and the seventh entry internationally. Like the other Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, it is an adaptation of the {{wp|Mystery Dungeon}} games for Pokémon.

It was released in Japan on September 17, 2015, and in North America on November 20, 2015, and is scheduled to be released in Europe on February 19, 2016, and in Australia and New Zealand in February 20, 2016.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
As in previous games, the {{player}} is a [[human]] who has been transformed into a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} child, and has appeared in a {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon|world inhabited only by Pokémon}}. The player is unable to remember how they became a Pokémon.

In this world, they meet their {{pkmn2|partner}} who lives in [[Serene Village]],<!--おだやか村--> a settlement which is on the (Japanese: 水の大陸 ''[[Water Continent]]''). As the player is a Pokémon child, the player is taken in by a {{p|Nuzleaf}}, who takes a parental role to the player. The player also attends the (Japanese: おだやか村の学校 ''[[Serene Village School]]'').

The [[Expedition Society]]<!--ポケモン調査団--> is a group that has many goals: to make a [[Pokémon Nexus|world map]], to help Pokémon in trouble, and to understand the mysteries of the world. However, children are not allowed to join. They are based in [[Lively Town]]<!--ワイワイタウン--> on the [[Water Continent]]. Lively Town is home to many shops, like [[Post Town]] or [[Treasure Town]] in previous games.

This world has been affected by incidents where some Pokémon, including [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary and Mythical Pokémon]], have been turned to stone. Later on in the story, it is revealed that the [[Dark Matter]] is behind it all, as it attempts to drain all the energy from the [[Life Tree]] and then destroy the entire [[Pokémon world (Mystery Dungeon)|planet]] by moving it right into the sun.

==Blurb==
<i>The Definitive Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Game!

Become a Pokémon, go on adventures, and save the world!

All 720 species of Pokémon!<br>
An unknown peril in the world of Pokémon?<br>
Battle your way through dangerous dungeons!</i>

==Features==
===New features===
* All 720 Pokémon that were officially revealed at the time are present in the game.
* Accessories are now visible on both the player and partner in the overworld and in dungeons.
* As the first entry in the series released during [[Generation VI]], it introduces [[Mega Evolution]] and the {{t|Fairy}} type to the series.
** Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to become more powerful, attack multiple enemies, and break down walls.
* The [[Progress Device]] allows players to [[save]] inside of dungeons.
* [[Wand]]s, stackable items with effects similar to orbs, are introduced.
* The [[Connection Orb]]<!--つながりオーブ--> replaces the bulletin boards as the interface for taking jobs. By completing jobs, clients become friends and connections to more Pokémon appear.
* In addition to returning stores, stores called [[Hawlucha's Slam School]]<!--ルチャブルのわざカクトウーッ！-->, [[Café Connection]]<!--ガルーラのポケモンカフェ-->, [[Klefki's Rockin' Lock]]<!--クレッフィのカギあけ店-->, [[Meowth Theater]]<!--ニャースシアター-->, and [[Lapras Travel Liner]]<!--ラプラス大陸便--> are available.
* [[Alliance]]s are team attacks that warp all other team members to surround a Pokemon, then unleash a simultaneous attack. These attacks ignore ineffective type matchups, but also deplete the belly, similar to linked moves in previous games.
* Items called [[looplet]]s<!--リングル--> and [[emera]]s<!--ラピス--> are introduced. By putting emeras into a held looplet, Pokémon can be powered up. Any emera obtained in a dungeon disappear when leaving it.
* A [[Jukebox]]<!--ジュークボックス--> feature allows players to listen to music from the games and even previous titles in the series.
* [[Pelipper Island]] can be used to rescue the player or others using [[Wonder Mail]].
* Helper Pokémon can be sent through [[StreetPass]].

===Returning features===
* The [[Deposit Box]] once again replaces [[Kangaskhan Storage]].
* The {{DL|Stats|Belly}} mechanic makes a return in all dungeons.
* The personality test that featured in the first two installments returns; however, the player can choose whether or not to accept the result or pick their own Pokémon.
* Hostile Pokémon are once again able to evolve inside dungeons after defeating another Pokémon.

==Characters==

==Trivia==
<!--* This is the only Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game to be given a PEGI rating of 7, with all previously-released Pokémon Mystery Dungeon titles having been given a rating of 3.-->
* This game has the greatest number of starter Pokémon out of any game in the Mystery Dungeon series.
<!--* Rampardos, an occasional visitor to Café Connection, says that he used to own a shop called Box Buster. This means that Super Mystery Dungeon comes after Gates to Infinity in chronological order.-->
* There are several characters implied to be from previous games, including a Rampardos who says he used to own a shop called Box Buster, a Corphish who is looking for his guildmaster, and a Whiscash who informs the player that he used to rule over a pond. This means that Super Mystery Dungeon comes after all previous Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games in chronological order.
<!--* There is an Igglybuff in Serene Village who has a Budew and a Wooper as friends. [[Wigglytuff (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)|Igglybuff]] in the Special Episode called [[Igglybuff the Prodigy]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]] has a Budew, a Wooper, and a Smoochum as friends, so the two may be the same.
** If so, this game comes before Explorers of Sky in chronological order.-->
