ThePokémon Mystery Dungeon: Adventure Team series[a] are threerole-playing games released forWiiWare, part of thePokémon Mystery Dungeon series of games developed byChunsoft and published byThe Pokémon Company. The titles, which were released inJapan on 4 August 2009, arePokémon Mystery Dungeon: Advance! Fire Adventure Team,[b]Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Go! Storm Adventure Team[c] andPokémon Mystery Dungeon: Aim! Light Adventure Team.[d] This installment is the first game in theMystery Dungeon series to be on a home system, with the next home installment beingPokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX for theNintendo Switch.
As with other installments in theMystery Dungeon series, the game centers on randomly changing, multilevel dungeons which the player must explore and clear whilst battling hostile Pokémon in turn-based combat. It features separate Pokémon and dungeons between different versions, altogether containing 493 Pokémon of the first four generations of the Pokémon main series games.
While similar to previous installments such as theRescue Team andExplorers titles,Adventure Team introduces 3-dimensional graphics instead of thesprite-based graphics of the aforementioned titles.[2] Aside from a difference of starters and the game's hub location (inFire Adventure Team, red-colored Pokémon such asCharmander are available in the "Pokémon Village", with blue-colored ones such asSquirtle in "Pokémon Beach" and yellow ones such asPikachu in "Pokémon Garden" being available inLight Adventure Team andStorm Adventure Team, respectively), the three games each contain 15 "Mystery Dungeons" which are unique to each other. Unlike preceding handheld games,Adventure Team games allows 4 save files in a single game. In addition, the player is capable of switching their character at any point in the game to another from a roster of nine Pokémon.[3] Transfer of befriended Pokémon or items between the aforementioned save slots are allowed. TheNintendo DS can also be used as a controller for the game.[4]
The three games collectively features all 493 Pokémon of thefourth generation games, includingArceus which was available through a special distribution.[5] They also enable online features such as theWiiConnect24 and theNintendo Wi-Fi Connection, through them allowing players to access special challenges and obtain otherwise unavailable Pokémon.[6] The ability to execute "team attacks", where members of the player's team simultaneously attack an enemy Pokémon, were first introduced inAdventure Team, and would feature in laterMystery Dungeon installments. InAdventure Team, the Pokémon do so by stacking on top of each other, forming a "Pokémon Tower".[7] In addition, the game allows player or allied Pokémon to evolve within the dungeons.[8]
Unlike previous and followingPokémon Mystery Dungeon games, the player does not act as a human transformed into a Pokémon and are instead Pokémon inhabitants of a town (Pokémon Village, Beach, or Garden depending on the game). After rescuing aShuckle from a "mystery dungeon" in a tutorial mission with a single partner, the group of nine Pokémon forms an Adventure Team following the request of an elderlySlowking. After some time, in a mission the Pokémon obtain some chocolate which they hand to Shuckle, enticing jealousy across the town. To restore the town, the Adventure Team explore another dungeon and returns with cookies, successfully returning the town to its former peaceful state.
Following the incident, one of the Legendary Beasts (Raikou, Entei or Suicune) depending on the game approaches the player, offering to join the Adventure Team. Later, they encounter other legendary Pokémon which are available for recruitment into the Rescue Team, in addition to higher-difficulty dungeons.
Adventure Team installments were first teased through promotional pamphlets in mid-2009, with a website containing gameplay screenshots and footage being opened on July.[2] The games were released on 4 August 2009 in theWii Shop Channel for 1,200Nintendo Points.[9][10] The games were given aCERO rating of "A" (for all ages).[11]Kotaku listed the games as one of the best released through the WiiWare.[12]
Englishfan translations of the three games would later be published on 28 April 2020, with translated titles ofTempest,Radiant, andWildfire Adventure Squad.[13][14]
