Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon

Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon is a roguelike video game in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series developed by Spike Chunsoft and published by The Pokémon Company and Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS handheld game console. Like its predecessors, players control a human who has awoken as a Pokémon in a world filled entirely by Pokémon and must travel through dungeons, completing missions and battling enemies. The game was released in Japan on September 17, 2015; in North America on November 20, 2015; in Europe on February 19, 2016; and in Australia on February 20, 2016.

Like its predecessor, Super Mystery Dungeon is a dungeon-crawling rogue-like role-playing game featuring 3D characters and environments. Players assume the role of one of 20 Pokémon (which include all 18 starting Pokémon from all six main series generations, along with Pikachu and Riolu), who is joined by a partner, chosen out of the remaining 19 Pokémon, who accompany them in their journey through procedurally-generated dungeons filled with enemies and traps as they help stop a major crisis and save the Pokémon world. The game features all 720 released Pokémon at the time of release.

The player wakes up transformed into a Pokémon and only remembering that they used to be a human. When they are attacked by a group of Beheeyem, a Nuzleaf helps them escape and gives them shelter in Serene Village. There, they meet their partner, who dreams of joining the Expedition Society but has become the town pariah due to his overeager nature. The partner sympathizes with the player’s outsider status and gives them one of his Harmony Scarves. Beheeyem are spotted outside the village, forcing the pair to flee to the Expedition Society headquarters.

Upon arriving, Ampharos inducts them into the Expedition Society. The pair learn that Pokémon have been turned to stone by a malicious entity, including the legendary Pokémon Entei. The Society finds evidence that Krookodile, a local thug, is the culprit. The player, partner, and Nuzleaf follow Krookodile up Revelation Mountain. At the top, the group discovers a sealed spring that can return petrified Pokémon to normal. They learn that Nuzleaf paid Krookodile to go to Revelation Mountain, and that Nuzleaf was the culprit behind the Pokémon turning to stone. Nuzleaf and the legendary Pokémon Yveltal petrify the player, partner, Suicune, and Raikou, destroy the spring.
