Known information

There is a guild for beginners. It includes multiple rooms with new Pokémon on every floor. The town remains the same from the original Mystery Dungeon with some changes to the shop owners. Two examples of owner changes are Duskull replacing Persian at the Poké Bank, and Marowak replacing Makuhita with the Poké Gym.

More than 490 Pokémon will be included to be obtainable;[2] although, some will require Wondermail to unlock the event. Shaymin and Arceus had not been officially revealed by Nintendo by the time of the Japenese release, so they have not been included in the game. This game will focus on exploring in dungeons rather than rescuing. Most starting Pokémon from the first game will be reappearing in this game, though a few of them will be replaced by the current fourth generation starters. Despite rumors that have spread early on, Riolu is not one of the available starters: the only fourth-generation Pokémon available as starters are Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup,and Munchlax. Most legendary Pokémon can be recruited like the first game but for some, a special item known as the Enigma Part, ancient Stone Plate or wonder mail code will be required. Also, each version will have its own exclusives; Pokémon that are only available in that specific version, for example Celebi will only be in Explorers of Time and Mewtwo will only be in Explorers of Darkness. Most exclusive Pokémon can be unlocked in each version by using Wonder Mail codes. However, both Celebi and Mewtwo can only be unlocked in their respective edition: Mewtwo in Darkness and Celebi in Time.

The story is promised to be even more developed than its predecessor, and the issue of the thinning of the relationship between the player and his or her partner will be taken into consideration. There are also species related items which only affect certain Pokémon.

Plot
You take a personality test to determine your pokemon, then on one night, the player falls into the ocean and washes up on a sandy beach. Eventually falling unconscious and awakening having turned into a Pokemon. The partner is an aspiring Pokémon who wishes to become a famous explorer, but cannot join the Wigglytuff Guild, the official exploration club, without another member. After helping the partner defeat two Pokémon criminals, a Koffing and a Zubat, your partner suggest that you form an exploration team, and you accept.

You are quickly admitted into the Wigglytuff Guild by the kindhearted Wigglytuff, and her hot-tempered yet well-meaning right hand man Chatot. You get to go on explorations and help Pokemon. However, 90% of your money is given to the Guild to pay off its expenses.

Over the course of the game, with the help of some new and unexpected friends, you try to uncover the mysteries of your coming to this world, (all friends no longer require a Friend Area as in the first game), as well as thwarting an evil plot to control time by a mysterious Pokémon villain, who is difficult to deduce, since there are many suspects of who could really be the mastermind. A Dialga is suspected to be the villian at the start of the game, but as it nears its end, the true mastermind is revealed to be Darkrai.
