In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team, players begin the adventure as a human who mysteriously transforms into a Pokémon. After a personality quiz determines the player’s Pokémon form, they choose a partner Pokémon and wake up in a world inhabited solely by Pokémon.

The story revolves around the player and their partner forming a rescue team to help Pokémon in distress, typically by navigating through various dungeons. These dungeons are randomly generated, offering different challenges and enemies each time.

As a reminder, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team will be coming to Nintendo Switch Online on August 9, 2024. You’ll need a subscription to the Expansion Pack if you want to play.
