What was so special about the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon? 

The main series of games followed a simple formula over and over. According to the fans, every game was the same with a different skin. That is why Nintendo decided to do some fresh experiments with the series. They released many spinoff titles like Colosseum and Rangers that challenged the established norms and formula to bring something new to the table. 

But among the spinoffs, none was like The Mystery Dungeon series. This series combined Pokemon with RPG. Here players don’t catch and train Pokemons, but they get to be Pokemons!
