These games are, with not a hint of sarcasm, the best thing about the Pokémon franchise--the only thing that would make them better is if they were called Shiren the Wanderer and were all actually localized.

*sob*

While I don't agree that they are the best Pokemon thing, I can say they're the undisputed second.

Never played Shiren, but heard good things from it. I played Torneko, though... nice game too.

I heard 'Pikachu' and i was sold.

Shiren is better than both *but* it's more a case of pie is good, but ice cream is better.

So keen for this. I love the Mystery Dungeon games, only spin off that would make me happier is a Snap sequel.

This is the best news I've heard in a while. I love these mystery dungeon games, this is going to cost me so. much. time!

Along with Youkai Watch reveal, Corocoro had a spread on with Pokemon Mystery Dungeoun

Looks like the plot is based around Lugia, Ho-Oh and Kyurem:

Looks awesome. I'll definitely be getting it. I love the Mystery Dungeon series.
