Plot

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
201

As in previous games, the player is a human who has been transformed into a Pokémon child, and has appeared in a world inhabited only by Pokémon. The player is unable to remember how they became a Pokémon.

In this world, they meet their partner who lives in Serene Village, 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 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 is a group that has many goals: to make a 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 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 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 planet by moving it right into the sun.

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 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.
  • Wands, stackable items with effects similar to orbs, are introduced.
  • The Connection Orb 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, Café Connection, Klefki's Rockin' Lock, Meowth Theater, and Lapras Travel Liner are available.
  • Alliances 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 looplets and emeras are introduced. By putting emeras into a held looplet, Pokémon can be powered up. Any emera obtained in a dungeon disappear when leaving it.
  • Pelipper Island can be used to rescue the player or others using Wonder Mail.
  • Helper Pokémon can be sent through StreetPass.
  • Instead of always getting rewards for doing a job, the player only gets rewarded on some quests.

Returning features

  • The Deposit Box once again replaces Kangaskhan Storage.
  • The 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.
  • A Jukebox feature allows players to listen to music from the games and even previous titles in the series, like in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Explorers of Sky.

Characters

Playable characters

The player may play as one of 20 Pokémon. The partner is also chosen from these 20 Pokémon. The player may, as in the prior Nintendo DS titles, choose the player and partner Pokémon using a quiz, or as in the WiiWare titles and Gates to Infinity, choose a Pokémon themselves.

Trivia

  • This game has the greatest number of starter Pokémon out of any game in the Mystery Dungeon series.
  • 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.
