How to Pick a Starter and a Partner
As Pokemon fans saw in thePokemon Mystery Dungeontrailer, players will have to take a personality test to discover which Pokemon they should turn into, but they can pick any of the possibles regardless of the results. Then players will have the option for one of the other sixteen to follow them around as a partner. It’s best to choose a partner that doesn’t have the same type that the players does, mostly because there will always be a Pokemon that will be immune to those type moves.
Keep in mind when choosing that starter and a partner that most of the dungeons will lean more heavily towardFlying-type Pokemon; that may change which Pokemon a player will choose in the beginning.
Changes Made to the Game
Players probably noticed quite a few differences between the original 2006 releases and the Switch HD remaster. The graphics are obviously updated and two games have been squished down into one title. It also addedshiny Pokemon for the newestMystery Dungeongame.
But for the most part, the newPokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DXkeeps with the tradition andhistory of the Mystery Dungeon games. So if players are familiar with the originals, they will feel right at home with the HD remake.
