Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This isometric role-playing adventure takes place in a world populated solely by Pokémon, where the human protagonist has been transformed into one and must solve this mystery. Players explore procedurally generated dungeons to complete rescue missions, managing their base resources by purchasing items and safeguarding money. The experience can be enhanced through local multiplayer via Game Link cable, allowing friends to rescue each other from perilous situations.
Story
Rescue Team Base
This is your Rescue Team Base. You can save your adventure at the bed in your base. Make sure to save often!
Kecleon Shop/Kecleon Wares
These shops sell items and TMs, and are run by the Kecleon brothers. The Kecleon on the left deals in items, the Kecleon on the right deals in Wonder Orbs and TMs. You can either buy or sell here. Use the shops wisely to provide you with an advantage on your adventures.
Felicity Bank
You can deposit or withdraw your money here. If you are defeated in a dungeon, you will lose all of the money you have with you in the dungeon. However, if you deposit your money, you never lose it.
Kangaskhan Storage
You can store items here-whether they were brought from a dungeon or purchased in a store. If you are defeated in a dungeon, you lose some of your items. But if you store them here, you'll never lose them.
The Pokémon World
This game takes place in a world where there are no humans-only Pokémon. You (a human), out of the blue, have come to this world and been turned into a Pokémon. Your senses and feelings are also becoming more like a Pokémon's. Why have you turned into a Pokémon? It is up to you to solve this mystery on your adventure!
This is a world in which only Pokémon live. There are so many places to see-such as the Thunderwave Cave or Mt. Thunder. Your adventures will take place in various dungeons located throughout this Pokémon world. In the dungeons, the terrain, enemies, and items you find will change every time you enter them-even if it's the same dungeon. Take great care when you go on a rescue job, you never know what you'll find!
Friend Areas
Friend Areas are important places where your Pokémon friends can live. Without Friend Areas, Pokémon cannot become your friends. You can buy Friend Areas at the Wigglytuff Club in Pokémon Square.
