And even when something sad happens, the right music plays. And when it's an overjoying moment, just the right music plays again. When something terrible and often panicky has just been discovered, just the right music plays. The music is not usually anything all that special simply because of the aforementioned restrictions, but it tends to set the mood. It's hard to play a violin or trumpet or something and make it sound perfectly crisp on an 'older' hand-held gaming console. Again, this is the Game Boy Advance, so you can expect sounds to naturally be a little muffled and scratchy.

Still, colors are extremely bright-dull worlds can sometimes mean dull games, you know-and while you can almost see each individual pixel, the collection of them all forming the Pokemon still looks nice enough to prevent you from saying, 'Blech.' If you really want to see the graphics, check out the Images section of this game here on GameFAQs. Being on the Game Boy Advance, you can expect 2D graphics, but these seem to be extremely outdated and old, like something you'd find on the Super Nintendo.

Revealing much more would be spoiling the plot, since so much happens in a short time, but mainly the plot is full of trying to find out who you really are, helping those in need, saving the world (what else?), and even clearing your name of some dirty things somebody says of you. After saving Caterpie, a rescue team is formed, and many adventures are taken.

How did this happen? Without much time to ponder this, you and your partner hear from a distressed Butterfree that its son Caterpie fell into a fissure that suddenly opened up in the ground, and when Butterfree went to save Caterpie, once-peaceful Pokemon suddenly attacked aggressively. When you look at yourself.you're a Pokemon. And ALSO like I've said, the plot has many plot twists thrown into it, so you'll frequently be thinking, 'What? I didn't know that was going to happen!' The plot is that you find yourself lying in the middle of nowhere with somebody who will be your partner that wakes you up. As I also mentioned, the plot can occasionally have its cheesy moments, but these tend to be few and far between. Like I said, the plot is half the reason I come back to play this game. After that will come the total score, any flaws in the game, and the conclusion. I will rate the game in a score between 1/10 in seven categories: Plot, Graphics, Sound and Music, Gameplay, Replay Value (I used to call it 'Aftermath Fun,' but that's just too confusing), Control Ease, and Game Length. That's what the game's practically based around after all, this is 'Red Rescue Team.' Blue Rescue Team, made for the DS (which is the system both Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2s are on), differs very slightly in that the controls are different and there are only certain Pokemon that can be recruited in Blue Rescue Team, and the same with Red Rescue Team.

They send SOS letters, often times to you personally, and you go into a mysterious dungeon to rescue them. The other reason, as I explained in the review's title, is the fact that you get to go and rescue other Pokemon in need. But enough about the plot, that'll come later. For a Pokemon game, the plot is surprisingly well-developed-on the slight occasion, cheesy and even stereotype-but it has so many plot twists thrown into it that it honestly makes you think hard about the many problems you are questioned with, and sometimes you'll be on the edge of your toes waiting for the answer. Speaking of the plot, it's mostly the plot that makes me take the game out and start playing it again. I do have this one, though, and this game's a lot like the sequel, apparently, except in the plot area. 'While the gameplay is not TOTALLY different, it's the story and save-people jobs that bring you back.'Īs you might know, by this time Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2 has come out, but I don't have the game.
