Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon Gets First Trailer

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.

  1. I’m going to give this series one more chance. This game actually looks interesting. Hope the music just as good as usual though. It’s going to be a very big game. I wonder if the stories will line up with the main series…

    • That’d be pretty cool. Also seems like Arceus will have some kind of role as well (judging by this picture). Perhaps the two were in battle a really long time ago. Arceus won that battle and sealed up Hoopa’s power into the Prison Bottle. Then one day, at the Pokemon Town in this game, a Pokemon found the bottle and rubbed it and Hoopa’s power was returned to him. And then Hoopa plans to take over the world and ya de ya de ya da, you know where it goes from here. Lol. I got the idea from the fact that the town kinda has an olden look, like it’s from medieval times. It looks rather large too from the little we’ve seen. Perhaps a King and Queen rule the area. I can see it now. King Tyrantrum and Queen Aurorus. I wouldn’t mind that being the plot.

  2. Say goodbye to Ookarus because apparently that was the prick from earlier after looking at his IP. I don’t care who you are. Watch your attitude.

      • He was on as a guest. He started talking about how lazy GF over Mystery Dungeon even though they don’t make the games. Then people tried to correct him and he attacked us.

      • Exactly. Nothing he said made sense. I don’t know why a lot of the community has changed.

  4. I see Riolu in that circle lineup, I know who I’m picking! As for my partner, I’d happily picky Froakie, as Greninja has been put on my team for ‘what if Pokemon was real?’
    I never played GTI as I couldnt be bothered to get it for it’s release date (not a massive fan of MDs, I prefer the Ranger series), I might get it in the future because it is a Pokemon title as well as this, who knows
    All I know is that this seems to have some kind of storyline (even the Delta ep is in there) so it should be good!

    • I got GTI because I was visiting colleges during Sprink Break a couple years ago and I had nothing to do while we were driving 😛

  5. This is a dumb thing to be excited about, but around the 0:23 mark, you can see piplup and pikachu wearing a bowtie and scarf. This makes me happy :p

  6. My one fear that I just got recently is that what if the “Super” in the title is for this: You notice the green circle meter at around 0:12 that says 88? What if it fills to 100, you can summon a Legendary Pokemon of your choice to fight alongside you temporary as I saw a similar looking title on the floor in a Monster House at 0:14 when they are in the Monster House (though the green circle is not present at that part near the HP bar). It’s not too far off a theory since they do say you can fight alongside Legendary and Mythical Pokemon. And that because of this, you can’t actually recruit Legendary or Mythical Pokemon. That would totally suck ass! Then again, I am a very paranoid person. Lol. As many of you on Pokejungle that know me well, have probably realized at this point.

      • Now that I think about it, it’s very possible, considering that like you said, it uses the same number system and the bar seems to relate. I do notice it doesn’t appear all the time on your screen while in the dungeons near your HP Bar and that tile on the floor at 0:14 could be something completely separate. Perhaps it could restore your points or lower them? The circle looked to be of a different shape than the one near your HP Bar but of the same color. Whatever it is, it’s quite intriguing indeed. Can’t wait for more information!

    • I believe the Monster House green tile might be the tile you step on to refresh any stat changes, since it looks similar to the other game’s design and it’s usually green :3

  7. Random thoughts from me: I can’t wait to play as Tyrantrum in this game! Oh god, I love that Pokemon too much for my own good! If it wasn’t so darn rare in the main series games, I’d have one on every single team in future generations. Lol.

  8. Who are you guys choosing as your main characters? I have my heart set on Fennekin and Froakie

  9. As much as I’m really not one for these games, the fact that there are all but one pokemon on this (we all know who you are), and that i can play as mudkip, i may actually get this one after it’s been out for a while.

    • it’s really hard to say
      only because only 7 out the 40? will have access to mega evolutions (and no Gamefreak won’t just dump-truck a bunch of megas for side game)
      So i wouldn’t count on us being to mega evolve

  10. After today’s Nintendo Direct in North America, we got some more information on Super Mystery Dungeon. So, apparently Pokemon are turning into stone and Piplup is sad because kids aren’t allowed to join the Exploration Society. This game sounds even more promising than it did yesterday!

    • Not a bad plot, a youngster with ambitions being denied because of age while some supernatural crisis plaguing the land
      I like it

    • That sounds like an awesome story line already! Not to mention that you can choose one of all starters from Kanto to Kalos, including Riolu and Pikachu, although there isn’t a personality test.
