Once again you awaken as a specific Pokémon based on your responses to various personality questions, but this time you find yourself on a beach. Players create an exploration team with a new objective - finding valuable treasure. Based on the game you buy, you'll either be part of the Exploratory Party of Darkness or the Exploratory Party of Time. You'll explore various topographies, from caves, to mountains, forests, etc. The dungeon battle system remains the same, enemies only move or attack if you move. The Japanese pre-order bonus (which begins July 14, 2007) for these games is a strategy guide. Both games are only for Nintendo DS. No US release date has been revealed yet.
