Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is the newest Nintendo Switch exclusive for 2020 remaster of an older game. The originals were called Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team for Gameboy Advance and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team for Nintendo DS. This quaint rogue-like adventure features many fan-favorite Pokemon, including several that players can choose from as their starter.
Available Starters
Unlike most Pokemon games that players might be familiar with, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX gives players sixteen possible starters instead of three. The starters that a player becomes also chooses the difficultly of the game. The possible Pokemon a player can become are:
- Bulbasaur - Grass and Poison (Hard)
- Charmander - Fire (Easy)
- Chikorita - Grass (Hard)
- Cubone - Ground (Medium)
- Cyndaquil - Fire (Easy)
- Eevee - Normal (Medium)
- Machop - Fighting (Hardest)
- Meowth - Normal (Medium)
- Mudkip - Water (Easy)
- Pikachu - Electric (Easiest)
- Psyduck - Water (Easy)
- Skitty - Normal (Medium)
- Squirtle - Water (Medium)
- Torchic - Fire (Medium)
- Totodile - Water (Easy)
- Treecko - Grass (Hardest)
How to Pick a Starter and a Partner
As Pokemon fans saw in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon trailer, players will have to take a personality test to discover which Pokemon they should turn into, but they can pick any of the possibles regardless of the results. Then players will have the option for one of the other sixteen to follow them around as a partner. It's best to choose a partner that doesn't have the same type that the players does, mostly because there will always be a Pokemon that will be immune to those type moves.
Keep in mind when choosing that starter and a partner that most of the dungeons will lean more heavily toward Flying-type Pokemon; that may change which Pokemon a player will choose in the beginning.
Changes Made to the Game
Players probably noticed quite a few differences between the original 2006 releases and the Switch HD remaster. The graphics are obviously updated and two games have been squished down into one title. It also added shiny Pokemon for the newest Mystery Dungeon game.
But for the most part, the new Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX keeps with the tradition and history of the Mystery Dungeon games. So if players are familiar with the originals, they will feel right at home with the HD remake.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is available for Nintendo Switch today.
