A [[Pokémon]]-themed entry in Chunsoft's ''Mystery Dungeon'' (''Fushigi no Dungeon'') [[Roguelike]] franchise. The games center around a world populated ''exclusively'' by Pokémon (with no humans to be seen), who live in towns and cities, run shops, and go on adventures in [[Randomly Generated Levels|randomly-generated dungeons]].
 
''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'' as a whole is notable from the main series for two reasons, one being that it's the first entries in the entire Pokémon franchise to place special emphasis on [[Character Development]] and a compelling [[Story Arc]] (as opposed to the series's usual quest [[To Be a Master]] and to [[Gotta Catch Them All|catch 'em all]]), typically involving a human who [[Fish Out of Temporal Water|awakens in the Pokémon's world]] to discover that they've somehow been transformed into a Pokémon themselves. They become best friends with another Pokémon, form an adventure team, and go on a [[Quest for Identity]] over the course of many adventures, as clues about their [[Mysterious Past]] reveal that their ultimate destiny is nothing less than [[Saving the World]] from an imminent destruction.
 
The second reason this spinoff series is notable? Because it's the first time we get to hear exactly ''what'' the Pokémon are saying underneath all the [[Pokémon-Speak]] we've come to expect.
