Choosing Your Starter Pokemon

If you've not played one of the classic mystery dungeon games, you may be unaware of how Nintendo choose your starter Pokemon for you.

Taking a weird personality quiz at the beginning of each game would allow the game to process which Pokemon fits you the best, and will also choose the nature for it.

In past gamed, once the game chooses the Pokemon for us, that was it; we were not able to switch our starter Pokemon and we were stuck!

 Now, players will be able to change the Pokemon they play as if they do not like what the game has chosen for you. A very convenient feature we are excited about!

Art Style

This one was pretty obvious as soon as Nintendo unveiled this game at the Pokemon Direct, the new art style for mystery dungeon is much more vibrant and colourful than previous Pokemon games.

The art style used in this game is some of the best work we have seen from Nintendo and we cannot wait to see the whole game!
