In tonight’s Japanese Nintendo Direct, the upcoming Pokémon Super Mystery dungeon got its first trailer. The game features 3D graphics similar to Gates of Infinity and all 720 Pokémon are in the game. The game will be coming to Japan on September 17th. Based on the trailer, it seems the ‘Hunger’ meter will be returning. The loss of it in the previous game was much maligned because it simplified gameplay so dramatically.
You can choose from one of 20 characters to be, which are all of the starting Pokémon as well as Pikachu and Riolu. I’ll probably have to go with Chikorita and Bulbasaur since there is a disturbing lack of Dunsparce.

FEATURED DISCUSSION: Pokemon Shuffle
IT LOOKS LIKE ITS KEEPING UP WITH THE ORIGINALS
Just saw this in Direct today. I failed to get Gates to Infinity (I spoiled myself instead) but I’m looking forward to this if it’s just as sad (heh) as the previous ones…
I’m going to start Gates again
Nice! Maybe I should if I can find a cheap copy.
EDIT: Wait, my current problem is time to play my backlog, not money… 🙁
Well it seems the starter type variety is gimped… the only (mystery dungeon) starter that isn’t a (main series) starter this time is Riolu…
So where’s my normal types… Eevee, Meowth and Skitty in particular…
Also, if that accursed personality quiz comes back… bah…
lol Skitty
Let’s hold out hope they add in more pokemon. Unlikely but not iimpossible
Looks like it’s going to be better than infinity 🙂
That Wailord following you around xD
Hey everyone, haven’t commented for a while but have been lurking all this time ^-^
Am I the only one that doesn’t like the transition to 3d Pokemon games for Mystery Dungeon? I feel like having sprites instead of models for the characters works a lot better for some reason, maybe it’s because I’m a spriter 😛
I did look weird but I like it now. It’s kinda like Denpa Men(I’ve never played it btw)
I agree, but mersery derngern
I kinda think it would be cool if they did paper mario style graphics, but this works
All 720? All of my yeses!
20 playable characters? YES YES YES
All those legendaries? YAAAAS
Also, that Wailord could also imply that legendaries could be recruited. Y’know with the size of most Legendaries and all. THIS GAME IS HYPE. THE GRAPHICS LOOK GOOD TOO. THE MOMENT THEY SHOW OFF MEGA EVOLUTION WOULD BE ASDFGHJKLEUQABSISKA
MY LOINS!!!!!!
I can’t choose between Mudkip or Froakie…
Go with Froakie since its a new era
OMFG! THAT TRAILER! 720 POKEMON! PREVIOUS GAME STARTER CHOICES!
HELP! I’VE FALLEN AND I CAN’T GET UP!
they prepared models for mystery dungeon- they couldn’t prepare walking ect. models for main games for players fun… -_- I’m slowly getting tired of franchise because of game freak laziness
two different companies buddy
one is gamefreak the other is chunsoft
so what? they seems to have ppl to work… this still shows their horrible quality…
The point is u can’t blame one company for another’s failures…….If there’s a problem with the game it’s Chunsofts fault not GameFreaks
THE HELL? So if someone seems to doing job for you I can’t blame you for arrogance and laziness? SEEMS LEGIT #underhumanslogic
I don’t think you get it…
You make no sense at all XD
first finish elementary school because you have no brain at all
lol
You lost the argument so you resort to insults? XD
I lost arguments? I’m talking about fact… you can’t read, you can’t use logic… you shitting that I insults holy game freak because another sof company did job… while this makes ZERO SENSE FROM YOU… because it’s AGAINST gamefreak
lol
and you dare talking about no arguments… you are DUMB and this is FACT…now be nice and GTFO
I couldn’t understand the first comment so I just commented lol. XD
Still can’t understand this one, but I’ll stop because I don’t want to spam the comments. XD Have nice day anon. XD
FACEPALM….
How is it lazy if they don’t prepare them for main games? They plan out the games. If they don’t want them in, they don’t have to put them in. The only reason they were in HGSS was because Junichi said the games were about friendship and bonding with others. It’s their choice and if you don’t like it, you can go find another game to play instead of complaining about their blueprints.
read yourself first… next go and smash your head on the nearest wall…
You’re an idiot. A. Nintendo has nothing to do with Pokemon. They just license the games for their devices. B. Chunsoft makes Mystery Dungeon not GF, so the models are on them.
C. You know we’re right, and you just won’t admit to being wrong.
D. Because you have been nothing but a prick, I’m banning you.
Go back to 4chan you thirteen year old.
The problem is that other than the fact that this game is about Pokemon it has nothing to do with Gamefreak…..so u blaming GameFreak for what ever problems THIS game has is dumb as they had no part in it………
hurr durr have company who can made 3d models for you- do nothing, next be protected by idiots…
the problem are ‘nintendofags’…literally… you always see no problems there where they occurs
Wow………ok………1st that term isn’t very nice…..2nd I c many problems with Nintendo that have nothing to do with this conversation so whatever…..3rd what u said makes no since as GameFreak can’t b responsible for every spin off that comes out……4th Goodbye man bc I don’t want to have a conversation with someone who is going to become mean…..
“Goodbye man bc I don’t want to have a conversation with someone who is going to become mean…..”
I won’t be nice for idiots… you have no excuse to talking bullshits because you not understand something and next shitting I’m mean oh no boo hoo, go to mommy -__- I hate ppl who living is social paradise because you are not smart at all…
Heyheyhey! This one actually looks good! Almost like a side Story for the main games. The animations are beautiful.
Honestly, it would be really cool if the story was connected to oras.
Tough choice i know i’m going to be (or aim) a Chespin but what about my faithful meat-shield err i mean partner
Either Tepig or Chimchar
chimchar his design is better imo
Technically Tepig evolves into a solid meat shield buuuut xD
I’m glad they showed that Wailord can fit through the Dungeon corridors, which likely means all those big ass Legendaries will fit too and we can recruit all the Pokemon and that it won’t just feature all the 720 revealed.
Oh hey. My account is working again. 🙂
Where does anyone see Hunger coming back in the trailer? What part exactly? According to Sensei Pokejungle, Hunger might be returning! 😀
I hope secret bazaars come back too. It was only in PMD sky so I hope they bring that.
Those were very interesting! I wonder what little shop for Klefki is for? It can’t be Storage because I saw a Storage Chest in the trailer. Probably to unlock boxes like Ramparados and Xatu did in the previous games. A very fitting job for that Pokemon! LOL.
I saw Confagrigus back too XD and I hope they give the main character more dialogue instead of just thought bubbles,
I think its at 0:12, the scene with Wailord. There’s one brief part where a gauge at the top right hand part of the screen appears, showing a green circle and the number “88”. I can’t think of anything else it would be.
Oh, okay, thank you! 🙂
People who refuse to admit they’re wrong pisses me off. If you’re here to stir up trouble, I’m going to ban you. Simple as that. 🙂
100% AGREEMENT!
I can’t really decide on my Starter and Partner choices just yet. I’m so excited, I just can’t hide it, I’m about to lose control and I think I like it! Lol. 720 Pokemon. Thank you Spike Chunsoft! Thank you!
Now this picture is interesting. I don’t recall seeing this in the trailer. Finally, Arceus will be getting it’s debut! It should of happened a Generation ago. *cough* *cough* I liked how they kept him in mystery but nodded toward his existence in Sky and that it was likely the one that let Grovyle, Dusknoir, and Celebi stay in the future as well as the Statue up at the top of Destiny Tower. I think at the time Sky was being developed, Arceus still had yet to be revealed formally.
Mega Rayquaza is our true lord and savior
I love them both. Hard for me to decide between the Creator and the Legendary Pokemon that did indeed save the world once. It’s gonna be interesting because it is said that you will fight alongside Legendary and Mythical Pokemon to save the world. I wonder what for? I really can’t wait for this game now!
Can. Not. Wait. Squirtle and Treecko-the dream team. <3
YESSS YES RIOLU IS PLAYABLE!!! ALREADY BETTER THAN GTI
OMG YES
no shinx though…
hmmmm
Oh hai fennekin
Perhaps there will be some Pokemon that can only be picked as a Partner? Some Pokemon in the previous games (minus GTI) could only be Partners.
oh yeah, maybe. But now that I think about all the starters, it is going to be really hard to choose one. Fennekin, Totodile, Piplup,Snivy. It is so hard to choose! Good I have until Winter to decide
Oh yeah and the version of treasure town in this game looks really nice. I hope they bring back Kangaskahn’s shop. She was for whatever reason one of my favorite characters in T/D/S
Sorry to disappoint you but I saw the Storage Chest from Gates to Infinity in the game’s trailer. I feel the same. I will miss having a clerk to store your items too. It was nice in the first two titles. Now it’s just a box. 🙁
Aww 🙁
and where is the purple kecleon :/
As much as I love treecko and i loved rocking chimchar and treecko in sky and treecko once in blue rescue team
Froakie and chimchar all the way
also i wonder what klefki’s role is
maybe he will be like xatu and open chests
I had Charmander/Mudkip in Red Rescue Team, Charmander/Piplup in Explorers of Darkness/Sky, and I can’t even remember what for GTI 😛
But this time around I think I might choose Fennekin/Piplup :3
my original red rescue team was
Bulbasaur and Charmander
blue rescue team was
charmander and treecko
pokemon explorers time,darkness EVEN sky
was chimchar( its ironic cause infernape is my favorite poke and definitely top 3) and treecko
My teams in previous games were:
Blue Rescue Team: Mudkip and Bulbasaur
Explorers of Time: Piplup and Bulbasaur
Explorers of Sky: Totodile and Treecko
Gates to Infinity: Oshawott and Axew
See the theme here? Lol. It was broken in Gates to Infinity, when I wanted to try Axew out. For Super Mystery Dungeon, I plan on picking Froakie as I said earlier and likely a Grass type or maybe a Fire type to go along with him.
Pick Riolu and Froakie it’s great coverage.
We there is still the theme of water type starters
Except I see piplup got no love :/
Also go for bulbasaur or chespin for good coverage
Blue: Treecko and Torchic
Sky: Turtwig and Phanpy
Gates (Never played but if did): Tepig and…. *Sharp inhale* Oshawott?
But in Super: Chespin and Tepig
My teams were:
Blue: Treecko and Pikachu
Sky: Treecko and Chimchar
Infinity: Oshawott and Pikachu
Super: Treecko and Chimchar return!
(They’re my favorite pokemon…)
I kind of like playing as the same pokemon because then I see it as a sequel (kind of like Zelda) more than a whole new game.
I’m totally picking Froakie and as for my Partner, I’m not really quite sure yet. There’s so many choices. But there’s no rush.
Hello poke people!
Hey! How’ve you been?
Good, been working 70 hours a week at 2 hljobs cause I have twins on the way, but I saw a link for the pokejungle facebook pagw, and I had a few hours open this morning, so I thought I would drop in and say hi to everybody 🙂 hope everyone is doing well!
Good! Last time I spoke to you, you had just proposed. When’s the wedding or have you already gotten married?
Well, we were planning to go to Vegas this spring, but that got put aside when she found out we were having twins, so it’s being put off until we actually have money to do anything haha
Oh, well at least it’s a good reason. Congrats on everything!
Thanks 🙂 how’s everything been for you?
Very busy and suffocating. XD otherwise not bad.
YES YES YES This is what we needed!!! Tbh it looks like it may be even better than sky, but I ain’t gonna go overboard. Either way I am soooo excited because this looks like it has an amazing story jam packed with legendaries and those starter pokemon OMG I am so ready to play as treecko again I mean thank arceus this is gonna be awesome. *takes deep breath
I’m glad Spike Chunsoft learned from their mistakes. They showed a Wailord as your teammate traveling down a dungeon corridor. The one thing that bothers me is that they had Legendaries of a similar size in GTI. Why the hell weren’t they recruitable in Gates to Infinity? Oh well, it’s beyond me. Anyways, I’m really excited!
Me too!!!
