E3 09: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky is cute

Recommended Videos

The Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games have been pretty okay by me. They’re at least something different than the normal formula, and I really like being able to take that little peek into the world of wild Pokemon. They totally exploit my weakness for cute creatures working together to help other cute creatures.

But what’s weird about this game is that it seems to be a third addition to last year’s tandem release of Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness. All other Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games have been released in twos. Whether or not Explorers of Sky is just a expansion of the two earlier titles with just a little extra stuffing or has enough extra content to stand out on its own, I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough. For now, here are a bunch of screenshots and pieces of official artwork to help you get your daily dose of adorable.

That’s not all! If you’re interested, go ahead and hit the jump for the accompanying press release.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky

Become a Pokémon and Save the World!

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky is the newest installment in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon video game series. The game expands on the fun found in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness. Players become a Pokémon and team up with a partner Pokémon. Together the two set out on an adventure of exploration and discovery, ultimately saving the world from destruction. With additional Pokémon to become, new “Special Episodes” and enhanced communication features, this is a grand adventure with a moving story and stunning finale. This game is a great starting point for players to enter the world of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and for returning players to discover even more secrets.
