Game Description
What if you woke up with no memories—and discovered you had somehow become a Pokémon? Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky builds an unforgettable adventure around that mystery, pairing you with a loyal Pokémon partner before sending your new exploration team into ever-changing dungeons. From life at Wigglytuff's Guild to dangerous expeditions and the mystery surrounding the Time Gears, the journey blends turn-based dungeon crawling with friendship, discovery, and a surprisingly emotional story that gives the Pokémon themselves center stage.
Every expedition brings uncertainty as dungeon layouts, enemies, traps, and items change between visits, forcing your team to adapt instead of memorizing a fixed path. More than 490 Pokémon can be encountered and befriended, while moves, held items, positioning, hunger, and team composition all become important when venturing deeper into dangerous territory. This dungeon-crawling RPG for Nintendo DS also expands the adventure with Spinda's Café, where items can become stat-boosting drinks, unwanted supplies can be recycled, and additional opportunities await growing exploration teams.
Explorers of Sky goes far beyond a simple companion version of Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness. Five Special Episodes let players experience important events through characters such as Bidoof and Wigglytuff, while new hero and partner choices include fan favorites like Riolu, Eevee, Vulpix, Shinx, and Phanpy. Add Shaymin Village, the climb toward Sky Peak, expanded dungeons, and additional story material, and this physical cartridge release stands as an especially content-rich Pokémon spin-off with lasting appeal for Mystery Dungeon fans and Nintendo DS collectors.

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky arrived in North America in 2009 as an expanded follow-up to Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, adding new story material, playable Pokémon, locations, items, and features to Chunsoft's Nintendo DS adventure. Its five Special Episodes were a particularly notable addition, shifting control to supporting characters and revealing events outside the hero's main journey. Nintendo also expanded the starting roster with Phanpy, Vulpix, Riolu, Shinx, and Eevee as new hero or partner possibilities, helping make Sky the most feature-packed version of the DS Explorers storyline.
